Anthony Padua is an amazing realtor and a stellar human, handholding two newbie house hunters…read morethrough every step of home buying at a time when it seemed like a near impossible task. Anthony gently guided us in the right direction and never pushed, evolving his suggestions with our sometimes changing goals as home buyers, while always taking care to prevent us from making any mistakes. He was very accommodating of our very difficult schedules. He was critical through the closing process too. He made what could have been a stressful final chapter of our house purchase story relatively painless and we're forever grateful for that.

Highly Recommended! He has been so proactive and efficient from start to end! We have been…read moreextremely in awe as how capable and amazing he is. This has actually been our first time buying a house and has heard so many horror stories from my co-workers with their experiences and previous agents. However, that wasn't the case with Anthony. He made sure that I was comfortable in the process, very accommodating with schedule, taught me things I didn't understand, patient to the things I needed further assistance, and working hard to make things possible. One perfect scenario is, there were multiple offers for the house we wanted and it was almost at the peak of our budget. I did not have any high hopes and had resigned to the thought that it may be impossible for our offer to be accepted.. However, due to Anthony's hard work and great skills in real estate, We were able to buy our dream home within our given budget! He has shown exceptional skills in his profession that even the seller and his agent were very much impressed with his work ethics. He has also continued to provide suggestions and recommendation for certain aspect of the house that I would not have thought to fit my lifetsyle! Up to this day even after closing, He would still accommodate any questions and concerns I may have regarding real estate! Thus, I have continued to recommend Anthony to my friends and family. He is the best in what he does! Surely the best real estate agent that anyone can have!

Please note that this review was flagged by Krystle Properties and removed because I didn't specify…read morehow I'd been a customer of Krystle Properties although it clearly states in the quote below. I will clarify and add that Krystle DM'd me because she has no idea which property I'm writing about...It says a lot about how her company is run. "Hi Me Y. We're trying to figure out who you are so we can understand where we went so wrong with servicing you and your properties. Please let us know so that we can understand this mystery and learn from our past experiences. Thank you, Krystle Karimian, CEO Krystle Properties sales@krystleproperties.com 707-342-2290" Since you asked: These are some of the issues we faced and why we fired you the first month: 1. The building had so many keys in such a disorder that we had to go unit by unit to confirm that it was the correct key. This included front and back doors, mailbox keys, basement keys, and excess storage keys, so you can imagine the mess. The labels were tangled and some had become wet and therefore couldn't be read. Key labeling may seem insignificant but when there is an emergency and you need to access a unit, garage, etc. it becomes very important. 2. The maintenance on the property was horrific. The tenants explained that the yard had been left unmaintained throughout their tenure which made it difficult for them to access their units, storage, garbage, garages, etc. Why, Krystle? This lowers the rent you can get on a location and will cost only $100-$500/mo for a reliable gardening service. That's nothing when you are considering this is a commercial property. Why wouldn't you explain that to an owner to HELP THEM? 3. The windows in many of the units had been painted shut and were therefore inoperable. (Some of the tenants liked this as it allowed them to hotbox more effectively. LOL. ) This is a fire hazard along with something that lowers the property value, since people want a home that functions properly. 4. The backdoor screens were all broken. EVERY ONE. Either the latches didn't work, they were bent and didn't close properly, or the screens had holes (from the cats and dogs), making them nonfunctional. This contributed to the "cheap" vibe and was an easily fixable annoyance. 5. Rentable space. There were garages and storage areas that were not being rented. Why? This represented a +5% increase in property income, which almost paid for Krystle's services. Why wouldn't you mention that to the owner? It would have been nice to have your services covered in the increased rent. 6. This building is in a highly desirable location and rents were 20-50% under-market, with NO CHANGES TO THE BUILDING and, at the time, no rent control. Why, Krystle? I started bumping rents the first year and couldn't believe how quickly the units rented. It is now a VERY profitable building, largely because YOUR TEAM DIDN'T EXPLAIN TO THE OWNER THAT HE HAD A GOLDMINE. It just needed tidying, good maintenance, and some aesthetics. 7. ALL the tenants hated your team. They didn't like the $50 charges for things like replacing batteries. (I have smoke alarms checked 2x a year as a standard part of maintenance and safety.) The tenants felt disrespected and ignored. They knew how nice the property could be but felt mentioning anything to you or your team would NOT result in anything being fixed. Here is my original review, for those interested, and I've attached a photo of my previous review and their other location where there is much more information: "Ugghhh. Just started looking for a PM for our Benicia property. Be forewarned that a MAJOR reason Vallejo's properties aren't in "above the rent a crack dealer can afford" is due to Krystle Properties management philosophy. (This comment was said to me by a tenant as an explanation for the condition of the property when I purchased a residential commercial property managed by Krystle Properties.) After speaking with my new tenant community, one of the first things I did was fire Krystle. That year I raised the rents 20%, fixed the broken screens, hired a gardener, and fixed the unsightly repairs done by her "team", and began to build a plan for the property to shine. The results speak for themselves... The Cap Rate went from 7% to 25% in 5 yrs. Yes, I'm not kidding about how badly marketed and managed this place was!!! Given they'd been managing it for +6 years, they also cost the seller $X00,000 during the sale, since Cap Rates drive commercial property pricing. If you are considering a PM for your rental, understand that KPM thinks all potential/current tenants are beneath them and will treat them as such. There are also more incentives for PMs to have turnover than to set the rental rates high enough to provide quality maintenance to attract tenants with high incomes and job security. We are going into a deep recession. You need to be VERY careful with who you choose to partner with during this coming era."

We knew buying a house in general would be a process especially during the pandemic, but Sophie…read moremade it the best experience we could have asked for as first time home buyers. We were first connected with Sophie through Zillow by chance. We wanted to tour our first house so we requested an appointment through Zillow and she was assigned to us. It was fate! We knew the moment we met her that she would be the one. She explained to us the hardships of trying to buy a house right now. She let us know that she wouldn't lie to us and tell us how it is. But, the one thing she promised was that she would get us our perfect house! Every house we wanted to see, Sophie did an amazing job getting an appointment to see them on the days and times we were free. She got down the style we wanted, our budget, and helped us find a house that was 100% us. Even when we were discouraged, she reminded us that "the one" was coming. After a couple of weeks of touring numerous houses, the last one we saw was it. It had everything we had told her we wanted including being within our budget and she knew it was us before we walked in the house! With being first time home buyers, the bidding process was something new for us. Sophie made it so incredibly simple. She had referred us to a loan officer who helped us get a loan quickly. She wrote up the offer letter and had us sign it easily to bid on the house before offers were due. She followed up on the bid for us a couple of hours later and .... We got our perfect house!! How fast and simple it was for us. We were shocked! Then came the hard part of going through all the motions of getting a house. The entire time, Sophie was on it and communicated with us everyday. She updated us on everything we needed to know and made us a timeline of when certain things were due. She was there inspecting the house whenever we couldn't be and we trusted her to do that. We have finally closed on our first house on June 2021 in Cordelia and have been extremely happy that we got Sophie as our agent. She is honest, reliable, knowledgeable, communicates well, and a joy to get along with! With the relationship we built with her, we know that she will always be apart of our lives. If you're looking to buy a house, we would definitely recommend her for all your real estate needs!!

Be advised that this realtor has been hired to rent out a home at 754 La Cruz Lane in Vacaville…read more Then it is managed by the landlord who in my opinion is a slumlord, is not professional, and prefers to do "verbal" instead of emails/texts for no proof of her negligence. On the day that my bf and I picked up keys, the home wasn't ready and the landlord was "unaware" supposedly. We had to cancel the uhaul, extend my stay at the apartment which meant I had to pay more rent, and live out of boxes for a week longer. Imagine having to coordinate all that with 3 children one that was 6 months old. I lived there for 4 years only because it was affordable. But I guess having a negligent landlord is the price you pay. During covid, landlord refused to apply for covid relief and threatened to evict me if I didn't pay even though I had lost my job due to lay offs. I continued to pay not realizing that I had rights. I feared more not having a place to live for my family. I finally moved out due to mice infestation that she would not address or handle. I was advised by 2 pest control companies that this was an "unlivable condition" and required attention. I had to pay for it out of pocket. She just wants her money and told me repeatedly every time she raised the rent (which was every year on the dot) that she could get more rent if she wanted to. Please be advised and warned. Thank you
