Buying my first home was an incredibly overwhelming experience, until I was recommended to use Fred…read moreand Arrivva by a close friend. I honestly didn't even know that "flat-fee" agent existed before working with Arrivva. Like most home buyers I had accepted that I would have to pay a high commission to an agent. Fred charges a flat fee, not a percentage like traditional agents. I am happy in my new house and grateful I learned about this service! Fred was smart, responsive, informed, and super straightforward. He walked me through every step of the process and my many questions, from getting pre-approved, to understanding inspections, to putting in a competitive offer. I felt way more informed and in control than I expected as a first-time buyer. The best part was the rebate, I got a big return check of multiple thousands of $ at closing, which I can use to buy new furniture and pay for other expenses for the home (: Everything was handled with text, email, and even Slack, with Fred and team being super accessible and convenient and time of day. All of my questions answered so I could be super confident. If you're buying or even selling a home or have questions about mortgage, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Arrivva! They've been in business forever and Fred is a testament to so many years in the game.

It is a great experience working with Fred and Rene of Arrivva in buying my home. They both are…read morevery efficient and super prompt in interacting during home buying process. They have in depth knowledge on real estate transactions. They charge a flat-fee that enabled me to reduce the price of the home using the buyer commission. I highly recommend using Arrivva for any selling and buying the property. They really fixed the way how real estate work. Amazing company.

Some real estate agents help you buy a property. Others go so far beyond their responsibilities…read morethat they become an essential part of making your dream a reality. Deborah and Gulshen belong to that rare second category. Our goal was not simply to purchase a property. We were trying to secure a place where children could learn, grow, and build their future. It was a mission close to my heart, but the transaction was anything but straightforward. Several other agents were unwilling to take on the deal because of the extraordinary challenges involved, particularly the difficulties of dealing with the agent representing the other side. To make matters worse, the commission being offered to our agents was significantly below the customary amount. Yet none of this discouraged Deborah and Gulshen. There were countless moments when they could have simply said, "That's outside our responsibility." Instead, they stepped forward, took ownership, and found ways to help. Every obstacle became their obstacle, and every challenge was met with determination, patience, and an unwavering commitment to finding a solution. Their dedication never seemed to be driven by the commission or the transaction itself. They embraced our mission wholeheartedly, with a level of sincerity, integrity, and personal commitment that I have rarely encountered in any profession. I will always be grateful to both of them, not only for helping us secure this property, but for becoming part of a mission that will benefit children for years to come. **Deborah and Gulshen did not simply help us acquire a building. They helped us create a place where generations of children will have the opportunity to learn and grow. That is a contribution whose value extends far beyond any real estate transaction.** A very special thank you to both of them, from all the young hearts at AlSajdah Academy. They have earned my deepest respect, gratitude, and highest possible recommendation. I cannot imagine having gone through this journey with anyone else.

Anytime I've had a question or needed something addressed, she's been quick to follow up and makes sure the issue is handled properly. Jessica goes above and beyond to keep the property well-maintained and the tenants happy. She communicates clearly, keeps everything organized, and makes the rental process stress-free. It's not often you find someone who takes their job this seriously while also being approachable and easy to talk to. I'm very grateful to have Jessica as my manager--she's a huge reason why living here has been such a great experience.

I had the great fortune of choosing Rodman Amiri to represent me in purchasing my home in Newport…read moreCoast. Rodman is a true professional. He leaves nothing to chance by handling every aspect of the transaction himself never delegating a thing. His attention to detail is remarkable. He read through every document that was sent to us even the lengthy HOA documents. He caught an error on title that no one else saw. He also worked diligently with insurance providers to get me insured in time despite our short escrow. As a high value property in a fire risk zone this was a remarkable feat as anyone familiar with California home insurance can attest to. Rodman takes great pride in his work and knows how to negotiate the best deal possible while keeping both parties on good terms. He knew how to address each party's concerns in a calm manner that was reassuring to everyone involved. Attached is a photo of myself on the left and the seller on the right on closing day. As you can see, we both walked away from the deal very happy and I credit that 100% to Rodman's exceptional professionalism. I look forward to working with Rodman again when the time comes. Thanks for everything Rodman! You're the best!

I worked with Oscar Salazar as a buyer's agent on a Manhattan Beach property. Interestingly, I met…read morehim while he was canvassing to get the listing sold, and I ended up buying it! The whole process was a challenging one (not brought on by anything we could have controlled). Oscar stood by me, communicating each step along the way. He tolerated my anxieties that crept up, and did what he had to do to get the transaction done--always keeping my interests in mind. I would like to thank him for being a hardworking, honest buyer's agent and helping me buy a home that I am very excited about. If it weren't for Oscar, I never would have known about the property, as I wasn't even considering Manhattan Beach as an option. Funny how life works!

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!

I love living at Ironhorse at Tramonto Apts.!!! The main…read morereason I'm writing this review is because of what happened last month. When I moved in 3 years ago my carpeting should have been replaced but it wasn't. I went round and round with the office and long story short the old management company failed me. I made sure to document everything that happened so as not to be held responsible for the condition of the carpeting when I moved out and I thought about moving out it a lot since then. Fast forward to now. With the new owners came new management, new staff, new upgrades, a new fitness center and a a much friendlier feeling overall. One amenity I love is the poolside fireplace. I can't wait to get out there on one of these cold evenings. Even now when it's too cold to swim there's a fireplace Anna, the new manager is right up front in the office with Tammy and Daysi helping out when she can. They are very friendly and pleasant to be around and extremely good at their jobs. Things get done quickly and they get done right the first time.The grounds are beautiful and always impeccable. I was so grateful for the new management company. I didn't feel like moving any more. But this meant I needed to get new carpeting. I decided I would pay for it. I discussed it with the new manager, Anna and was happily surprised when she quoted me a discounted price. Then the next day I received an email from her telling me I wouldn't have to pay anything. I found out later Anna read about what happened regarding the carpeting when I moved in and felt it only fair not to charge me. I was in shock. This is a management company that has gone above and beyond to show compassion for one of their tenants! Of course they are great at everything else they do here!!!!

I am writing this review regarding my experience with Real Property Management El Segundo,…read morespecifically agent Lola and manager Oscar. I want to be clear that I am a tenant/applicant with a documented disability under both federal and California law. I have Stage IV metastatic breast cancer and am currently undergoing ongoing treatment. Despite this, I continue to work, maintain income, and support my family. My concern is that during the application and screening process, I did not feel that my situation was handled with appropriate respect for privacy or in compliance with fair housing protections under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). These laws require housing providers to avoid discrimination based on disability and to engage in a fair, individualized review when disability-related financial circumstances are involved. Instead, I felt that my application was evaluated primarily through credit history without meaningful consideration of the medical context behind that history. My past financial hardship was directly caused by extended disability leave and cancer treatment--not irresponsibility. I also felt that my privacy was not fully respected when it came to requests for financial documentation beyond what is reasonably necessary for income verification. I offered to provide direct proof of income through deposit records, which is standard and sufficient for verifying ability to pay rent. However, I was uncomfortable with requests that appeared to go beyond income verification into personal financial activity, which I do not believe is relevant to tenancy qualification. I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking for fair treatment, privacy, and compliance with disability and housing laws that are designed to ensure equal access to housing opportunities. Housing decisions should consider the full picture of an applicant, including stable current income, rental history, and the context of any credit issues when they are directly related to a documented disability. I hope this feedback is taken seriously so that future applicants with disabilities are treated with greater care, respect, and adherence to fair housing standards.
