Hey Yelpers' In need of an absolute best real estate agent in the industry. STOP HERE! No…read moreseriously, Raul Herra cannot be compared to anyone. He is very knowledgeable and gets the job done. You will not fa more kinder, professional, dedicated and committed agent. My situation was complicated and in the midst of a storm. In the midst of a transition, he sold my home and help me purchase another home simultaneously never wavering on his dedication and service for managing the situation for both homes. We started the 2-3rd week of September and closed on the sale of our home on October 30th and closed on the purchase of my new home on October 31st. I could not have made it thru this process thoroughly satisfied without him.

We used Ricardo for our purchase of our latest home that we have always been looking for. We were…read moreon the hunt for several years for a property that checked all the boxes, Ricardo is super knowledgeable in the Belmont Shore/Naples/East Long Beach area, if you don't know already Long Beach has many nice neighborhoods and some less appealing, he knows how to steer you in the right direction in terms of what you can afford and the location that you could be landing in. Our situation for our purchase I would say was unique, on our first attempt at our current house we lost the bid for just a few thousand dollars. We were quite disappointed but we mentioned to just keep looking and also stay on top of the house we lost our bid to. As luck would have it, the property went back on the market and because of his good will to the selling agent gave us the first opportunity to purchase our house. To sum up some of Ricardo's qualities: 1.) Knows the East Long Beach area well, and has many connections in the area, to look at listings that may come up in the future 2.) Super responsive and keeps you informed and up to date in your transactions 3.) Very professional, but easy to talk to, can mingle with any sort of personality. 4.) Persistent and Reliable will go to great lengths to get you information and options 5.) Overall nice guy, if you see him in his Yellow Golf cart, say hello, he always take the time to chat with you!

We…read moreinterviewed a few realtors and decided to work with Ricardo due to his extensive knowledge about selling a home plus his confidence that he could get us top dollar for our property. He did exactly as he promised, and we are thrilled! He also kept us cool, calm and collected during the stressful process of being in escrow (rather quickly, I might add) due to banking delays. He has a very positive and upbeat personality, and his conversations with us were always reassuring and optimistic. We highly recommend Ricardo for your real estate needs.

Late to post this as we've been in our new, beautiful home for about 11 months now, but Erik Chavez…read moreis an amazing realtor. Look NO FURTHER for a trustworthy, professional, responsible, knowledgeable person to help with anything you need to buy or sell. Not once did we ever feel we were being taken advantage of and we always felt in great hands. Deets below, but really you can't go wrong with Erik. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone without hesitation. He helped us sell our condo in Los Angeles and from the get go I knew we were in great hands. Within one weekend we had offers in the double digits and he was able to take us step by step through everything we needed to know (this was our first property we have ever sold). It was such a smooth experience throughout and he put in a ton of extra TLC that I feel anyone else would have not provided. Erik brings a ton of knowledge about industry comps, appraisals, negotiation tactics, and a plethora of high level inspectors so you don't have to worry about finding those on your own or being taken advantage of price wise. He also has a great eye and his go to team for great staging and photography/videography to make your property look the best it can be. He was always available when we needed him and never took long to respond. While we were selling the Condo, he was also helping us buy a house and I can't speak highly enough about the process for that either. IN an insanely competitive market, he helped us navigate making offers, counters, and how to make ourselves stand out from the crowd. After 11 offers we were able to secure our dream home! Also, being in escrow for selling and buying at the same time can be very stressful and overwhelming, but like I've said above, Erik was ALWAYS reachable for questions or assistance when needed and always very fast with any paperwork (including pushing other teams to get their stuff submitted fast on our escrow timelines). Hire Erik! He is the BEST!!

If you are looking for a professional realtor who you can trust, reach out to Philip. I was…read morefortunate enough to be introduced to Philip and his partner Sharon, and I can confidently say that they went above and beyond my expectation. They put me at the center of every decision and made sure that every decision I make financially made sense. During the first meeting, Philip and Sharon wanted to get to know what matters most to me by understanding my cares, worries, and goals. Then they followed up with me thoroughly to make sure I get to check out the most properties before I made a final decision. Just like how other people mentioned, they do have great networking, so they can get you connected with a loan officer or handy-man. Philip and Sharon made the entire process easier, and it was very convenient for me because it was literally one-stop-shop, and I did not have to worry anything. The home purchase process can get very frustrating or become a nightmare if you work with the wrong people, so do yourself a favor and work with Philip and his partner Sharon to save money and make money.

Selling and buying a home was not as overwhelming as we thought it would be because Amy went above and beyond! She would always check up on us and was always engaged with a positive outlook! Not only does she embody conscise and updated knowledge on the economic climate of real estate but also provides a clear stream of communication, efficiency, and prompt delivery. During our transition, she provided a solid schedule of events on what to expect while we sell....and when to purchase. We were able to sell and move to our second house without a hitch! The timing was impeccable! We were taken care of from start to finish~Cheers to the Homeready Team and specifically to Amy!

I cannot express the gratitude and absolute pleasure my husband and I had working with Pat during a…read morevery fast home buying process. Pat was referred to us by a close mutual friend we had and he worked seamlessly with our mortgage loan officer making sure we were on track and pace for everything we wanted in our first home. He's deeply knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate, set clear expectations of the whole process from start to finish, which is appreciated as VA and first time homebuyers. Pat accommodated so many bumps in the road to help us find our perfect home from scheduling the inspectors around our busy work schedules, various phone calls inquiring on listed properties, and keeping us updated on new properties that were about to hit the market. As soon as we had an offer accepted he effortlessly accommodated our busy work schedules getting all of our inspectors out at the same time, brought in top quality professionals to inspect the property, asked clear questions we as first time homebuyers would not have known to ask, and made sure to consistently follow up with any concerns we had regarding work the seller had completed. Pat, thank you again for your dedication and patience with all of my probably repetitive questions, constant back and forth deliberations, late night messages asking for more info on so many homes, and keeping the whole process light hearted and fun for us!

We were first time home buyers in uncharted territory. Intimidated by the whole process stepping…read morein, John Paul quickly calmed our nerves. He guided us through the process of buying a new home and even gave a presentation that helped us better understand. At first we had our eye on a specific lot in a new constructed community, but did not initially get it due to someone putting a deposit a day ahead. We followed his guidance with putting a deposit on a similar property in the same phase in case they backed out. We were discouraged but had hope. Fortunately, the other party did in fact back out which meant we were next in line for the home we wanted. We couldn't be more happy for that opportunity. During the process, we had many questions, and each time JP was quick to respond. He was in constant contact with the builder in a respective way, and cleared up all mix-ups that arose. He stayed on top of the loan process, minimized troubles and made sure we closed on time. He lent a hand wherever we needed the help. JP was a true professional from the initial meeting to closing of escrow, keeping us thoroughly informed and process on track. His expert knowledge, timely communication, and genuine friendliness made buying a home a breeze. It would have otherwise been a mess without his help and guidance. With that being said, we could not be more pleased with the entire process. We are extremely grateful that we had the opportunity to work with John Paul and the cristal cellar team. I would highly recommend his services and expertise to anyone looking to purchase a home. We will surely be turning to him again in the future on our next property purchase.

As a former Realtor myself, I met Jake about 10 years ago and decided then that if I ever sold my…read morehouse, he'd be the guy. Fast forward to today--we closed escrow last month, and I couldn't recommend him more highly. Jake is truly the gold standard in real estate. He pulled off the ultimate trifecta for us: sold our home incredibly fast, got us well over asking, and made a complex process feel effortless. He's a brilliant negotiator, flawless in execution, deeply reassuring, and an absolute pleasure to work with. The only downside? We're truly going to miss working with him! Michél & Bill Kirkland

Alyse was absolutely everything we could have asked for in a realtor and more! We started looking…read moreto buy when the market was crazy so knew we would be up against some insane offers. Alyse went to every showing with us and would give us helpful tips and things to look for as home buyers (i.e. looking at the windows and seeing if they are older or newer will help us understand if insulation would be better or worse). We appreciated this so much as 1st time home buyers. We would book 5-6 showings a day and hit them back-to-back. After the day, we would tell Alyse which ones we liked, and she would spend the time to research comps for us. Our schedules were crazy so we usually weren't available to talk about the offers until 9 or 10pm at night, and she would always accommodate. She would spend time with us on the phone walking us through comps and strategizing our offers. But never once did we ever feel like she pressured us into going higher than what we were comfortable with, or submitting on a home we didn't love. After around 50 home tours and 11 offers later and getting beat out by buyers putting in all cash offers or going $100k over list price, we found the one! Alyse helped ensure we had a seamless 15-day escrow (I said it was a crazy market!). She answered both my husband and my questions throughout the search process, regardless of how annoying I felt or how far from "realtor" questions they felt. The listing agent loved her as well as her communication was top-notch and our offers were written so cleanly thanks to her. I cannot recommendation Alyse enough. If you want to feel like you're getting a realtor that cares about YOU as a buyer, give Alyse a shot. I cannot imagine listing or buying another house without her.
