I honestly never thought I would be writing a review for another Realtor but you have to give…read morecredit where credit is due. I am writing this in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Things are very bad at the moment and there is so much uncertainty everywhere you look. I was representing the seller of a home and when we put the listing live we had several offers all in the same range. After looking through them with the sellers and considering options we decided to only respond to one of them. If I have ever made a correct judgment in 30 years this would be the one. Because of the worldwide pandemic, things are very unpredictable. Loans are not getting to the finish line and people are very nervous about being able to complete an escrow. In a typical Real-Estate Transaction, there are several milestones that you work towards to complete things in a timely manner and get to the "Finish Line". Because of all of the uncertainty, people on all ends of transactions are very worried about removing contingencies and moving past these milestones without protections. When you are faced with this that is when you really appreciate the experience of a great Real-Estate Agent and that is what Mayra Santana is completely wonderful! My sellers had a purchase on the other side of this transaction that we work also working on which made things even more complicated but the entire time while doing an amazing job to keep her client's interest first and protected she worked closely with me making sure we had what we needed to not only complete this sale but the purchase on the other side of this sale. My wife and I (We work together as an agent team) had some moments of concern but Mayra always was there to help and work with us to get everything done. In 30 years I have never written a review for another agent but this was just one of those times that I feel people need to know what Mayra is all about, Complete Professionalism at all times!!! I told her a few days back and I meant it, I wish every transaction I had going forward was with her it was a pleasure working with her. We are set to close tomorrow one day ahead of schedule during a time where a worldwide pandemic has the entire world on lockdown. This is an example of when having an experienced agent on both sides matters most!

There are truly no words to describe how thankful my partner and I are to have crossed paths with…read moreMayra. She helped us buy our 1st home, in a pandemic and within the span of TWO MONTHS! This is an incredible timeline given how the market is and has been for the last several months. There is no doubt that she is now our realtor for life. She is professional, responsive, incredibly kind and so full of knowledge! She has guided us through every step of home buying buying while also demystifying and clarifying any part of the process we did not understand. She had our best interest in mind every step of the way and that made it so easy to fully trust her at all times. We honestly can not wait to work with her again in the future! Do not second guess any opportunity to have Mayra on your team. She is a blessing to real estate! Thank you Mayra for making all of our dreams a reality and advocating for us at every possible time. - Claudia and Demetrio

We had an absolutely outstanding experience working with Armando during our home purchase. We…read moreactually met him completely by chance at a random Zillow showing -- and honestly, that lucky encounter turned out to be one of the best decisions of our entire home-buying journey. From the very beginning, Armando stood out for his professionalism, knowledge, and genuine dedication. He never made us feel pressured and truly took the time to understand what we were looking for, our priorities, and our long-term goals. What impressed us most was how responsive and proactive he was throughout the entire process -- always available to answer questions, explain details, and guide us through every step with patience and clarity. Buying a home can be stressful, but Armando made the experience smooth and manageable. His negotiation skills, attention to detail, and ability to navigate challenges gave us complete confidence that we were in the right hands. He consistently went above and beyond, advocating for us and ensuring everything stayed on track all the way through closing. What started as a random Zillow showing turned into finding not only our new home, but also a realtor we would recommend without hesitation to family and friends. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly committed to his clients, Armando is the realtor you want on your side. We couldn't be happier -- thank you, Armando!

From day one, they provided a detailed prep plan and helped us prioritize the right improvements to get our home market-ready. The staging completely blew us away--we barely recognized our own home! It truly felt like they were preparing it for the next family to love just as much as we did. What meant the most to us was the communication. They kept us informed every step of the way, which built so much trust and gave us peace of mind throughout the process. Everything--from preparation to closing--was seamless. We're beyond grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! Thank you for making such a big transition in our lives feel so easy! Grateful to have worked with such an amazing team.

We went with another realtor and it sold for 540k The 2nd encounter with her was in May of 2024 when she was asked to provide a proposal to sell my mother in laws home. She wanted to sell it for 779k without any work. The executor went with another agent and listed the home for 800, for which is sold for 10k worth of work added netting 790K. An 11K difference. In one of her posts, she said the net was the same when in fact it isnt. 11K is a lot when it's your money. Her commission would have been almost the same so it's not her money. On another site, I was commenting on HOA's and she said she could help me sell to which I repeated all of the above. I saved all the screenshots if anyone is interested. She then private messaged me as you can see below. I have yet to hear from her attorney. I have all the facts, screenshots and paperwork so her threats are baseless and idle. Considering another person had the same experience, I would gather this is a common MO for her to keep her negative reviews at hand.

We ran…read moreinto a few issues selling our home, such as our first buyers falling through due to their buyers falling through (completely unrelated to Justin). Justin was all over it and had our house on the market again immediately and offers flooding in. The first time on the market, it was shown for 3 days, had 8 showings and 6 offers offers (all well ABOVE list). The 2nd time we had 7 showings and 5 offers within two days (again, all above list). We sold for 31k above list price!! Justin ensured the security of our home, as well. We have cats and dogs. Although we removed the dogs from the home for showings, the cats remained. He made sure that all realtors were aware they were there so that they would not accidentally leave a door open while exploring the back yard allowing them to escape. Most importantly, Justin kept in close communication with us affording us all information needed to make educated decisions. This is a critical area that many realtors lack which places unknowledgeable people in positions of not making sound decisions. We highly recommend Justin for your real estate needs.

While even on vacation Justin checked in to make sure that everything was going smoothly. If you're looking for a realtor in SCV or anywhere for that matter, Justin is your guy! Definitely going to use his services when we go through the buying process again! Thanks so much Justin, your strong integrity and professionalism shows how much you truly care about your clients wants and needs! SOLD OUR HOME ABOVE ASKING :D

We recently purchased a property and Kristine was able to give us some space from the sellers agent who we labeled "hair-on-fire" because everything they represented was always urgent and had to be done yesterday. Without Kristine as a buffer and a calm presence, this sale would not have happened. Transactions with Kristine are clear and timely. Kristine kept us in the loop and negotiated in our interest. Her team and escrow folks are professional and stress free. We would use her again and strongly recommend that if you want excellent service and an experienced negotiator... look no further than Kristine Fine. September 2017 Kristine Fine provided us with excellent advice and service. We had a complex sale involving multiple properties. The first property was sold by another agent and then we switched to Kristine for sale and purchasing of the remaining properties. The difference in service was incredible. In the first transaction, we didn't know what or when a task was occurring and escrow was a mess... HOWEVER transactions with Kristine were clear and timely. Kristine kept us in the loop and negotiated in our interest. Her team and escrow was professional and completely stress free. I can't express how great this process was and we will use her again and strongly recommend that if you want excellent service and an experienced negotiator... look no further than Kristine Fine.
