After selling our home in Canada & looking to purchase in LA we had heard horror stories about LA…read morerealtors, how they were like pushy car salesmen, only it for themselves & to close the deal. Ron is the exact opposite of this and truly cares for his clients. From the moment we met to discuss our needs & budget, Ron was there for us every step of the way. He not only had excellent knowledge of real estate trends but also about the pros and cons of the various neighborhoods we were looking into. We were not his highest budget clients but we truly felt as if we had his undivided attention. His communication was frequent & honest - providing real time updates on the process as it happened. And he was always patient and informative when answering our endless questions. Ron also proved to be a tremendous resource after we'd found on our place. He navigated a VERY difficult seller & his referrals from mortgage brokers to trades people were worth their weight in gold. Our only regret is that he helped us find our new place so quickly we miss our regular chats!!

So I had been looking for a place for the last 3 weeks. I happen to be in Vancouver BC, when a home…read moreI feel in love with had an open house on Sunday. I was totally bummed out. I was not going to be back in LA until Tuesday. I called the listing agent on Sunday before the showing, and asked about the home. He said theta he felt the open house would be really successful and that many people wanted to view the property. The agent was Ron Zate and he was so sweet. He was very honest with me and said that it would probably have a offer by Monday. I appreciated how honest he was, he could have tried to string me along, and say lets see what happens. I said I may consider offering site unseen. He actually said, you should really see the house first before you think of offering. Again he could have lead me down the road just to encourage an offer. I sent my BFF to go and look at the home for me on Sunday. She loved it, so I knew I would. I did end up placing an offer, which was not accepted. I was really bummed out, but thought I may switch agents at the very least because of how nice and really honest Ron Zate was. Luckily the offer fell through, Ron called my agent and said good news, my offer was accepted and I was back in business. I then had a lender issue. With pre approval and all, my lender said they could not unwrite the loan. Ron again to the rescue! He was blown away that at the last minute US Bank was not funding loan. He provided me with another Lender, and within 3 weeks, deal was done! He also kept on the bank to try to speed things up! Who does that! I will never ever buy a home without Ron. I feel like he actually does really care about getting people into the home they dream of. It isn't just about a commission for him. He actually cares about you.

Selling your home can be a daunting task and finding an agent you actually trust can be more overwhelming. John Capellaro and Derek Hirano make up The Capellaro Group and they are the best decision my husband and I made to sell our condo. They have the market expertise, a wide network of contacts, incredibly professional, tech savvy, and responsive on emails and phone calls. - They understand the market and are great negotiators with us in their best interest. They sold our condo quicker than expected and got top dollar for our place. - They go the extra mile for their clients. If we weren't able to meet up with the repair guy or stagers they were there to let them in. They also stay the entire time to make sure the work is done and lock up after. - Their office is a well-oiled machine. They utilize DocuSign, which is such a blessing for working professionals. Being able to sign electronically with a click of a button on my phone makes the whole process so efficient. - As first-time home sellers, they are communicative with the entire process and sent us an email of important dates and what to expect. Overall, they are the Four Seasons of real estate. Everything went smoothly and efficiently, from start to finish. We didn't have to worry and put all our trust in them.

My husband and I met John Capallero when he was covering an open house for another realtor. We…read morewere very impressed with his knowledge, easy-going manner, and his frank honesty. We decided to use him as our realtor and thus began a relationship that has lasted for a few years. We were in no hurry to move and wanted to find the perfect house. John was incredibly patient and kind. He showed us several properties and jumped whenever we saw something on-line that we were interested in seeing. When we considered the possibility of building, he found lots for us and recommended architects and builders. I am continually impressed with his connections throughout the South Bay. When we finally decided to proceed with a beautiful house in South Redondo Beach, John was thorough, professional, efficient, and made sure that we got the best deal possible. He is meticulous and attentive to every tiny detail. The process was the least stressful of our 4 home purchases thus far...it was as smooth as silk, thanks to John. Another thing that, for me, speaks highly of John not only as a realtor, but as a person, is his dedication to the community and his determination to "give back." With several other professionals in the South Bay he created LA25, which seeks to improve the entire Los Angeles population. But close to my heart, LA25 is also working with the Redondo Beach Education Foundation to raise funds so the children can have enriching experiences with the arts. He helped raise enough money through Art90266 to send all of the 2nd and 3rd grades in RBUSD to the Los Angeles County Art Museum (LACMA), and he and his colleagues are dreaming up several other exciting possibilities as we speak. Due to state budget cuts, our children have little to no art or music, but this caring, passionate man is making a difference on a large scale. He is just as passionate about all of the families/individuals with whom he works. You can't go wrong with John.

Working with Stuart was an absolute pleasure. We had experiences with other agents and though they…read moreweren't bad, they weren't very well versed with construction build quality. This was one of the things that really shone through with Stuart. He knew what he was talking about and advised us every step of the way as if it were his investment. Stuart also went above and beyond when negotiating the offer. He used his extensive real estate experience to get us a better offer than we had ever imagined. There have been friends and family that have inquired about our agent and we have no reservations recommending him to all of them. And when the time comes that we purchase another property, there is no doubt that we will work with him again.

Prior to meeting Jason we had come across a few well-known realtors in the area. We were on the…read morefence about selling and would attend open houses to get a better idea if it was the right decision for us. The agents we met were either overly aggressive or gave an immediate rebuttal to each of our concerns. The idea of selling our home was a scary one. We weren't sure if our ideal home would be on the market, or if we would have enough equity, but most importantly we weren't emotionally ready to make a commitment. After three months of thinking it out, we knew we had to go with Jason. When we initially met him he attentively listened to our concerns, our doubts, and our hopes and never once pushed anything on us. He wanted us to be ready. When that moment came, Jason was more than ready to proceed. He came with a list of comparables in the neighborhood and transparently discussed what we would be selling for. He guided us every step of the way and made sure we knew exactly what was ahead. Throughout the process Jason was always available for us (text, email, phone, bat signal,etc). He was very knowledgeable about everything we asked for, including the inspection and escrow process. Let's just say he makes selling a home look easy. One of our favorite qualities of Jason, besides his attitude and friendliness, was his amazing negotiation skills- he fought for the best deal on our behalf and he came to the table, after many back-and-forths with other agents, with stellar deals. We sold our home during the pandemic and Jason managed to sell our home above asking price (within less than a week), plus we bought a home below asking price with other included perks. We definitely couldn't have made this life-changing decision without Jason. We've even considered naming our next child after him- yah, just kidding Jason. Icing on the cake was referring Jason to my parents who decided to sell their home with him a month after our sale. Within 3 days they had 30 showings and 10 offers. He got them exactly what they were looking for. He exceeded their expectations in all things, especially communication, transparency, and negotiations. They too are beyond thankful for entrusting Jason with their life-changing decision. If you are on the fence with selling or buying, talk to Jason and trust him with the process. Hands down he will be the best choice for you.

He was professional, accommodating and responded to our emails and calls promptly. Evan always gave his honest opinion and even steered us away from a few properties he thought were overpriced and not right for us; he was right. Evan found the home of our dreams and we knew right away it was the one. We went through an intense bidding war and this is when his experience shined.

I initially assumed that I could do everything myself in this online day and age, but after speaking and interacting with Nick I'm extremely happy that I decided to go with him. Here are some bullet points on why I say that: -He kept a spreadsheet of all the homes we looked at, what I liked, and what I disliked. This allowed him to spot trends in my desires that eventually made him suggest that I should probably look at a single family home further away from my desired location rather than a condo inside of it. Turns out I ended up liking the area more as well! -His local knowledge and eye for detail saw finish quality and location potential that don't factor into the zillow estimate -Negotiation. This was the biggest value related to an in person realtor with skill vs. An online one. Your online realtor isn't going to know the area in depth or feel out the selling realtor to find out what the lowest bid is to get the house you want. I'd recommend Nick to anyone.
