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.

My husband and I initially were looking on our own and were having such a difficult time due to the craziness of the housing market recently. Once we were connected with Scott, everything was less stressful and he was able to help us navigate the home-buying process from start to finish. My husband and I also are not originally from the South Bay area so having someone who grew up here and is familiar with the area was extremely helpful! Communication: Easy peasy! Scott was always easy to reach and promptly replied if any questions came up. Expertise: Scott was able to answer any questions that we came up with based on his knowledge and previous experience. He was able to clearly explain the process and paperwork to us non-real estate folk and provided us with insight throughout the entire process. Overall, we had a great experience working with Scott! He is so friendly, easy to work with, and gets the job done! We honestly do not know if we would be able to have purchased a home without his assistance. We highly recommend working with Scott!!! Thank you so much, Scott and the Ito Orio group!

Since we were living in another state, having someone reliable was critical--and Johan exceeded every expectation. We truly felt we could trust him 100% throughout the entire process. He consistently kept us informed, communicated clearly, and made sure we were comfortable with every step along the way. What stood out the most was his judgment and guidance.

Her attention to detail was exceptional, especially when reviewing and drafting buyer documents and ensuring we understood every step. She volunteered to host a video call anytime we had questions or wanted to review documents with her! Mina handled communication with the seller's side seamlessly and provided thoughtful, insightful guidance during negotiations that helped us develop a strong purchase strategy. We always felt informed, supported, and confident that our interests were being represented. I can confidently say that Mina has always prioritized our interest as buyers and never pushed us to make rash or hasty decisions. She is a very supportive agent!

During the process, Tony was very responsive in answering all of my questions, really looked out for me during every aspect of the negotiations, and helped coordinate everything with my lender and escrow. I actually price shopped his lender with about 70 other lenders and his turned out to be the best given my circumstances! He knew all of the nooks and crannies of the whole process and helped look out for me when it was really important. Real estate agents can be very sketchy but I am glad I found one that I could really trust. Buying a home was one of the biggest steps in my life and I've heard horror stories from friends and colleagues of mine. I'm glad my experience with Tony was unlike theirs. All in all, Tony is a really friendly guy and really goes the extra mile to make sure to look out for your interests. I would highly recommend him.

From our very first consultation call, my wife and I knew this team would be the ones to get the job done and would go above and beyond to represent us in a highly competitive real estate market. There was never any pressure from them. We could move as fast or as slowly as we wanted, and they respected our pace every step of the way. They were always available and accommodating when it came to showings and open houses. What we appreciated most was their honest and insightful opinions about the properties we toured -- details that only experienced realtors would notice, and things you might never even consider as a first-time home buyer. They are always available to hop on a call and quickly respond to texts for any question (trust me we had a lot). When we finally found a home we loved, they walked us through the offer process and helped us craft a competitive offer that allowed us to stand out. Escrow was completely stress-free, as they arranged inspections and coordinated everything so seamlessly. There was a small hiccup the day before our closing -- through no fault of this team whatsoever -- but they were immediately on top of it, working swiftly with our lender, escrow agency, and insurance agent to ensure we closed right on schedule. We are extremely grateful for the care, dedication, and guidance the team at Hirano Homes provided throughout the entire process.

This was extremely helpful as I was not as familiar with the area compared to my husband or them. Mia was our main point of contact and helped us schedule tours and answer any questions we had about properties or the home buying process in general. Mia was amazing and called the listing agents within a day of us sending her the listings and was able to schedule tours within the next day or two. She goes above and beyond and would visit the property prior so she can point things out to us when we walk through. If that wasn't possible, she would extensively research it and ask the listing agent about it to make sure she was well-informed and able to answer all our questions. We were first-time homebuyers and everyone at Hirano Homes - Mia, Derek, Rojo - made the process so seamless. It moved very quickly, but they made it easy and manageable for us. We would definitely work with them again and highly recommend them to others!!

I don't know where to start on this one. Jack is operating so far outside the realm of my…read moreexperience with other realtors that giving him five stars feels like an insult to the guy. It's just a fact that the low barrier to entry makes a lot of realtors a dime-a-dozen. This is especially true in hot areas where demand outpaces supply. It's the absolute truest in an area like South Bay (the one true South Bay; go home Silicon Valley, you're drunk), where houses get snatched up in an instant, and buyers are willing to do insane stuff to get their offers accepted. In markets like this, a lot of buyers may ask, "Why would I even need a realtor?" Let me tell you why: because the needle-in-a-haystack realtors like Jack Mangin make even the most chaotic and fast-paced market feel like a leisurely browse through a farmers market. I found Jack on Yelp, and he was the first realtor to call me back immediately. That never changed throughout our buying process. Jack is savvy in every respect, and truly listened to our priorities. He predicted issues and took proactive approaches to prevent those issues from becoming problems for us. He stayed positive and optimistic--even when I changed my mind a million times and couldn't decide what I cared about. Jack is thorough, personable, candid, smart, reliable, and works his butt off for his clients. We were dealing with a purchase from out-of-state, so our situation had all sorts of inconveniences he had to work around--flights, time differences, schedule coordinating. He did it all with a smile and never faltered in any part of the process. He kept things moving so that things stayed smooth--nothing was ever a rush on our end, and we were never kept waiting on anything. He still checks in with us even though we closed over three months ago. He's a solid 100, and I cannot recommend him enough. Jack is our buddy for life now!

We entered the homebuying process a bit last minute and to say we were overwhelmed at the time is an understatement. Thanks to Maggie, Gina, and the team, they made our process incredibly seamless and stress-free. They genuinely take the time to get to know you and are transparent about how they operate. The level of guidance and communication throughout the process cannot be matched. We're so grateful for their meticulousness, advocacy, and thoughtfulness, and we're beyond happy with our experience. This is absolutely the only team you need to work with!

This is actually the second time we've worked with Maggie and her team. She and her team helped us…read morebuy our home 5 years ago, and when it came time to sell, there was no question we'd call her again. We trusted Maggie because of how well she took care of us the first time. From the start, Maggie worked around our tight relocation deadline, and mapped out a clear timeline all the way from moving out to listing and selling our home. I'd be remiss to not mention Jaime, who was such an asset in getting our house prepped for the market as well. Maggie and her team were incredibly communicative and responsive, keeping us informed every step of the way, even if it was through a late night call (planned, of course). There was a point we found it tricky navigating our buyer's requests, but Maggie guided us through the process with strategy and sharp thinking. Throughout the process, we understood our options and felt confident in every decision. Thanks to her expertise, we walked away with the best possible outcome, both financially and on track with our timeline, and the whole process felt far less stressful than it could have been. It's rare to find an agent you trust enough to work with twice, but Maggie made it an easy choice both times. If you're looking for an agent who will genuinely look out for your best interests, we'd recommend Maggie and her team without hesitation, whether you're buying or selling.
