While real estate is high-stakes and stressful by nature, Alex's experience and confidence really came through and made me feel like I had a seasoned navigator charting me through deep waters. His wealth of knowledge about Simi Valley real estate was especially impressive to behold: I still can't get over how he's able to instantly recall so much intimate detail about microneighborhoods, home features, and market activity without needing look anything up online. This credibility is huge and certainly helps him convey the value of a home to any prospective buyer. He is the real deal. In addition to being very reachable himself, Alex also has a friendly and professional staff coordinating all the little details so nothing slips through the cracks. If calm energy and a steady approach are what you value in a real estate transaction, Alex is your guy.

I know they make all their clients feel like we're the only one they're working with. I've dealt with a lot of agent before and I always knew I would choose Alex when the time came. Thank you Alex and Jenn for being very professional and making this whole process so easy and hassle free. You have know idea how much it means to me. My brother passed away and I am the executor of the estate. I knew this was going to be hard for me, and they showed me so much care and compassion. I will always recommend Alex and his team!

Jo Ann Poole is Ventura couny's dirty secret. As a professional building inspector, I know of…read morenobody more unethical and greedy than Jo Ann. If you are her seller and your house stays on the market longer than normal, it is likely that other Realtors are steering their clients away from this hot mess. If you are a home buyer, and were tricked into being represented by Jo Ann Poole, your offer will likely be rejected by professional Realtors because no one wants drama. As an example, Jo Ann's clients on Holbertson Court were advised to reject the buyer's choice of home inspector to gain a better result. A dangerous and litigeous decision. At the most basic level, "restraint of trade" is any activity that prevents another party from conducting business as they normally would without such a restraint. Liz (Realtor): "she may have put herself in the way of the Department of Justice." Erik (Realtor): "A bit of a nut job." Jennifer (Realtor): "She is such a liar." Natalie (Realtor): "I have never seen someone so badly represent her client." My opinion (and review) is easy to verify. Just ask any Realtor, inspector, title rep, lender and escrow officer who knows Jo Ann Poole. There will be rolling of the eyes and clearing of the throat because Jo Ann is our industry's dirty secret... until now.

We interviewed Jo Ann Poole and were impressed with her many years of experience and familiarity with the area, she lives in Wood Ranch! My relatives and I were comfortable and confident with her, selecting her as our Realtor was an easy decision. The home was opened for showing and we immediately received numerous offers including two that were well over the asking price! Escrow was opened the next business day! As with any real estate transaction there are issues and concerns that come up. Jo Ann was always available to take our calls/texts and answer any questions that we had as she guided us through the process. She was understanding and patient when explaining the details to my relatives. Escrow closed on time and my relatives have relocated to their new home. We would not hesitate to use Jo Ann's services in the future.

We've had several properties and worked with other realtors and we will be using Lewicki and Associates for any property moving forward. There are a lot of realtors who will over promise and under deliver to get the job and this is not them. They were honest, up front and dependable from the initial meeting to handing off the keys. In the height of the market going down, they were able to get us multiple offers. During escrow, we had many issues come up from negligence in our previous inspection when we purchased the home to uncompleted permits and they were always on top of analyzing and coming up with fair and smart solutions for all parties. They were quick to communicate and always readily available for any concerns and questions. There is no other realtor I feel comfortable recommending more than them!

Imagine an intrepid realtor entering into the second year of an unnecessarily protracted divorce,…read morewherein the only item of contention is the sale of the family residence. The home was acquired during a mere four and a half year marriage. There you will find the undaunted souls of Judy Lewicki & Associates. Being one of the parties of this dissolution, I recognized that the home needed to be sold. After considerable persuasion my former spouse begrudgingly agreed to list the family home, provided that Judy Lewicki be the listing agent. Not knowing Judy and her team, she wasn't my first choice of realtors. However because of her sterling reputation as a consummate professional in Ventura County, coming from both colleagues and competitors, I acquiesced. From the onset and throughout the course of the listing, Judy represented herself and her team as a neutral disinterested party, whose aim was to list and successfully sell our home in the most expeditious fashion. Within hours of having the listing signed, Judy and her team threw themselves into the task. My home was in Zillow and other realty web sights, a "For Sale " sign was posted in the front yard, the home was staged for showing and a professional photographer was on the premises capturing the idyllic setting of the dwelling and the manicured yards. The prompt and immediate sale of the home at a fair marketable price was the goal of all concerned. However, due to market conditions and prevailing interest rates this goal seemed at times far off and all but attainable. Judy remained stedfast to her mission. In addition to Judy preparing, scheduling and conducting "Open House" invitationals every other week, she constantly monitored market trends , internet web sites and realty periodicals. In keeping with her unwavering standard of professionalism, Judy on a weekly basis, kept myself and my former spouse apprised of her efforts. As the listing entered into its' sixth month, Judy diligently remained focussed as reflected in the continued Open Houses conducted as well as her internet and market research. Due to these tireless efforts Judy was able finally bring us a qualified buyer and a flawlessly successful close of escrow. Although, as I said Judy Lewicki & Associates was not my first choice for this listing, but having watched how Judy conducted herself during the prolonged duration of these several months, I can unequivocally say that she is now! I would highly recommend Judy Lewicki & Associates to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. Truth be told, I'm grateful to my former spouse for having insisted upon Judy being the listing agent.

Backstory: My father was thinking of selling his home near Westlake Village if he could get a certain price. As a Realtor servicing a different area, I wanted to reach out to someone who I felt would have my fathers best interest at heart. I interviewed a few agents and what I liked about her was how knowledgeable she was about the area and how I felt she was more focused on helping my dad than "making a sale". Long story short, after running comparable sales it turned out that it wasn't in my fathers best interest to sell in order to get the amount of money he wanted. She understood his goals and told him she supported his decision. Since then (over a year ago) she has been keeping us both updated on the market trends in the city he owns and answering all of our questions. No doubt we will use her when we go to sell his property. Thanks Barbara for being so kind and informative!

The Woodland Hills home did eventually sell, but for much, much, MUCH less than she originally listed for. After an initial open house, she emailed us that brokers told her "The feedback I have received is : Back yard needs too much work!! maybe you can have someone come clean out and remove some trees, the deck needs work!! that will fall under the termite work! The ceilings in the two bedrooms, need to be scraped and textured, ( it shows age of house) The house needs painting on the outside." Okay, I understand that, but wasn't she in the same business as the brokers? Wouldn't or shouldn't she have already known that we needed to do that, and advised us up front? After my parents passed, my brother chose her. I wasn't thrilled because she didn't seem knowledgeable about the area, and as a salesperson myself, just got a feeling she was blowing smoke up him. But, it was his first time having responsibility like this and I knew I had to let him do it on his own to learn anything. Let's just say he learned exactly what I hoped he would: if a nice smile is only saying everything you want to hear, and it seems too good to be true, it probably is. This was just our experience, not sure about anyone else's.
