She was incredibly patient with all our newbie questions, always gave us quick responses ( even after hours!), and handled everything with total professionalism. Mina was so helpful every step of the way - from finding places to closing - and was genuinely a pleasure to deal with, calm and helpful even when things got stressful. We highly recommend Mina, especially to first-time buyers. She's amazing! Thank you, Mina!

Ron Melendez with SYG was phenomenal throughout the entire process. Ron reached out within a few…read morehours of my initial inquiry and provided in-depth, data-driven guidance regarding options from listing my property as a rental to selling. What Ron told me ended up being accurate across the board. He knows the Westchester market inside and out. I never felt like Ron was pushing me towards one direction or the other, but rather asked questions to help me decide the best path for me, and then assisted me getting there. Ron and the whole team at SYG were incredibly professional, responsive, and the fees were reasonable. If I need a realtor again in the future, Ron will be my first call.

I couldn't be happier with my home-buying experience with Sitah Mahadeo from Compass | The…read moreStephanie Younger Group. Sitah was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and proactive throughout the entire process. Her deep understanding of the local market and strong relationships were absolutely critical--she was able to uncover an off-market opportunity that we never would have gotten without her. She guided us through a smart, strategic offer that ultimately secured the home. I truly felt supported and confident every step of the way and would highly recommend Sitah to anyone looking to purchase a home, especially if you want an edge in a competitive market.

I had a great home buying experience working with Alyssa. From the first time I reached out to her,…read moreshe was consistently helpful and had great communication. My partner and I were first time homebuyers and didn't know anything about the process. I met with Alyssa and she walked me through the basics in a way that I could easily understand. She got us set up with the Compass app so we could search for homes through the app and let her know ones we were interested in. For every home, she followed up with the seller's realtor to get the status of the home. She went with us to open houses or set up private showings. It's such a big purchase, and having someone knowledgeable about what to look out for was super helpful. She let us know pros and cons for the homes we looked at and it really helped us make a decision. Once we found a house we loved, she put in the offer and took charge from there, which I appreciated. She explained the steps in escrow and kept us updated along the way. We had to counter offer and her advice on was probably what got our offer accepted! Alyssa helped set up the home inspections, plus contractor inspections to get quotes for repairs. I didn't have any experience with this, so being able to rely on her and her trusted contacts was invaluable. The closing process was very smooth and we ended up with a great house. The whole Ito Orio group were great throughout the entire journey - always sending updates, getting signatures, communicating with all the parties, everything was seamless. They all made the process super easy and I'm especially thankful to have had Alyssa's guidance during the process.

Ray is amazing! Honestly, I generally don't even like real estate agents…read more.. Ray deserves 6 stars. I couldn't be his client because I was looking for a leasing agent and his firm doesn't provide the service. Regardless, he took so much time and care to educate me on the LA market and helping guide me in a meaningful way. If I am ever in need of the Realty services he offers, I will immediately contact him. My future self will be thankful to him for getting to save the time on searching.

Ray Lyon has to be the most spectacular realtor anyone could ever hope for. We had interviewed…read moreseveral realtors in the West LA area to help sell our family home while we were quite a distance away. At our initial meeting we could tell that Ray was a straight shooter, insanely knowledgeable on all things real estate with deep expertise regarding the Westside and how to achieve the ideal outcome beyond all expectations. We put our trust in Ray, followed his guidance every step of the way and WOW the results were exceptional ! Ray made what could have been a very challenging process a simply amazing experience. We needed painting done, yup, he took care of that well below what it would have cost us, needed a plumber, yup he got that too, wait we needed to move all the furniture....OMG he got that done, multiple times saving us countless trips and expense hiring our own professionals....We saved thousands simply by working with Ray AND to top it off his strategy to sell the home was brilliant ( a bit scary but we went with it); resulting in a crazy fast sale, not to mention an ultimate offer and closing price that was approx 200K OVER the asking price. We never expected that but once again Ray delivered so far beyond our expectations. Rays the real deal, no one can top his super service and outstanding results. I never really saw the value of any realtor over several past home sales but holy cow...this was different. If you are searching for a realtor go no further. We highly recommend Ray as the very best you will ever find if you are looking to list or purchase a home. WOOOHOOOOOOO.....so lucky to have had this entire experience with Ray !

We just worked with Bill Ruane on the purchase of a fabulous condo for our daughter in El Segundo…read more I'm sure we must have tested Bill's patience as there was much indecision with three generations pulling resources together to make the purchase happen, and that indecision had Bill writing up an offer for a different property only for us to move on and not sign it, but nevertheless Bill showed endless patience and accommodated our multiple requests to see the condo and take measurements. We also know that he represented us well in the negotiation so everyone was happy! I most highly recommend working with Bill Ruane!

He was very open to my ideas, but he also had a sense for what would be most effective. He was right! We met with other realtors, but knowing that I could trust Raaj made the decision for us. Once we committed to working with Raaj, he made the entire process a breeze. He recommended fantastic vendors and contractors to really make our property shine, but also kept an eye on expenses on our behalf. We moved out of state prior to listing the house and he coordinated so many moving parts and kept an eye on the property. Communication was excellent throughout the entire experience. Once the property hit the market, he deftly executed our strategy and was extremely effective at navigating the negotiation process that resulted in an outcome beyond what we had hoped! On top of all of that, Raaj is a great guy. I would heartily recommend!
