From our very first consultation call, my wife and I knew this team would be the ones to get the job done and would go above and beyond to represent us in a highly competitive real estate market. There was never any pressure from them. We could move as fast or as slowly as we wanted, and they respected our pace every step of the way. They were always available and accommodating when it came to showings and open houses. What we appreciated most was their honest and insightful opinions about the properties we toured -- details that only experienced realtors would notice, and things you might never even consider as a first-time home buyer. They are always available to hop on a call and quickly respond to texts for any question (trust me we had a lot). When we finally found a home we loved, they walked us through the offer process and helped us craft a competitive offer that allowed us to stand out. Escrow was completely stress-free, as they arranged inspections and coordinated everything so seamlessly. There was a small hiccup the day before our closing -- through no fault of this team whatsoever -- but they were immediately on top of it, working swiftly with our lender, escrow agency, and insurance agent to ensure we closed right on schedule. We are extremely grateful for the care, dedication, and guidance the team at Hirano Homes provided throughout the entire process. I highly recommend working with them, and I am so glad we did -- because we ended up with the perfect home for us!

We had such a pleasurable experience working with Hirano Homes. We met with Mia and Derek at their…read moreoffice and went over all our questions and criteria for finding a new home - they were both super knowledgeable of the area we were looking at and were able to make suggestions on the fly, just by looking at the map. This was extremely helpful as I was not as familiar with the area compared to my husband or them. Mia was our main point of contact and helped us schedule tours and answer any questions we had about properties or the home buying process in general. Mia was amazing and called the listing agents within a day of us sending her the listings and was able to schedule tours within the next day or two. She goes above and beyond and would visit the property prior so she can point things out to us when we walk through. If that wasn't possible, she would extensively research it and ask the listing agent about it to make sure she was well-informed and able to answer all our questions. We were first-time homebuyers and everyone at Hirano Homes - Mia, Derek, Rojo - made the process so seamless. It moved very quickly, but they made it easy and manageable for us. We would definitely work with them again and highly recommend them to others!!

Once we found the property we wanted to move forward with, she did an amazing job working with the selling agent and advocating for us as buyers.

We couldn't be happier with Tiffany as our realtor, and highly recommend to anyone buying in the South Bay

At the end of that crazy roller coaster, I got keys to a place i can call HOME. Forever grateful to Tiff and her Team for never giving up on me and my family's dream.

We had an awesome experience working with Forrest and couldn't recommend him more highly. I've…read moreworked with multiple real estate agents over the years, and Forrest genuinely stands out as one of the best I've worked with. From the beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and was incredibly patient throughout the process. He was always available, responsive, and honest with us, and we never felt pressured to make a decision just to get a deal done. It was clear that he cared about finding the right home for our family. Once we found our home, Forrest was on top of everything. He helped us navigate the offer, negotiations, inspections, escrow, and closing, and his communication throughout the entire process was excellent. There were plenty of moving pieces, but he kept everything moving and made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable. Forrest is a great real estate agent and, in my opinion, one of the best up-and-coming agents in Southern California. He works hard, knows the market, communicates well, and genuinely looks out for his clients. We're extremely happy with the home we ended up with and grateful to Forrest for helping us get there. If you're buying or selling a home in Southern California, I'd highly recommend giving Forrest a call. Five stars without hesitation.

As first time home owners the process was daunting and overwhelming but he helped break down all the information and decision making into manageable chunks. He showed enough knowledge of real estate in the area to give us realistic yet dream big options to consider that other agents may have written off at first glance. It paid off and we have found a lovely lovely home to grow into and make our own. We were lucky to have worked with him and would continue to work with him in the future if the need arises. Thank you so much for all the thoughtfulness, care and efforts!

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!

They gave an honest home evaluation, nailed the marketing, and guided us every step of the way with professionalism and genuine care.

I don't know where to start on this one. Jack is operating so far outside the realm of my…read moreexperience with other realtors that giving him five stars feels like an insult to the guy. It's just a fact that the low barrier to entry makes a lot of realtors a dime-a-dozen. This is especially true in hot areas where demand outpaces supply. It's the absolute truest in an area like South Bay (the one true South Bay; go home Silicon Valley, you're drunk), where houses get snatched up in an instant, and buyers are willing to do insane stuff to get their offers accepted. In markets like this, a lot of buyers may ask, "Why would I even need a realtor?" Let me tell you why: because the needle-in-a-haystack realtors like Jack Mangin make even the most chaotic and fast-paced market feel like a leisurely browse through a farmers market. I found Jack on Yelp, and he was the first realtor to call me back immediately. That never changed throughout our buying process. Jack is savvy in every respect, and truly listened to our priorities. He predicted issues and took proactive approaches to prevent those issues from becoming problems for us. He stayed positive and optimistic--even when I changed my mind a million times and couldn't decide what I cared about. Jack is thorough, personable, candid, smart, reliable, and works his butt off for his clients. We were dealing with a purchase from out-of-state, so our situation had all sorts of inconveniences he had to work around--flights, time differences, schedule coordinating. He did it all with a smile and never faltered in any part of the process. He kept things moving so that things stayed smooth--nothing was ever a rush on our end, and we were never kept waiting on anything. He still checks in with us even though we closed over three months ago. He's a solid 100, and I cannot recommend him enough. Jack is our buddy for life now!

Having a realtor who has this kind of above and beyond access, institutional knowledge, and connections makes a palpable difference in the home buying process. She knows everything that's going on in the South Bay. She takes this above and beyond attitude to her clients as well. She just recently helped me close on the home of my dreams on the very street I most wanted to live on from the start of this process. She made the entire process painless and straightforward. I could always count on her to answer any call or text promptly and clearly. Whether you're looking for a grand forever home or a small condo, she will know exactly how to find you what you're looking for and make sure that you are successful in getting it. I genuinely have not a single critical thing to say about her work. She's effective, a good communicator, organized, intelligent, and kind. I have already recommended her services to my father in law, and would gladly recommend her to family, friends, and new transplants alike. By choosing her you know you will be in good hands. She can and does minimize the stress of buying the right home. Thank you Carol for all you do.

Carol has a lot of experience with rental properties and homes in the South Bay. She had a great network of contacts that allowed us to get things evaluated and inspected in great detail. We purchased a triplex and we were impressed with her negotiating skills that allowed us to start escrow at a much lower price than what was asked. She helped us uncover some complex issues and she was able to use this information to negotiate an even lower price for us. She was very reliable, timely and great at communicating throughout the whole process. She went out of her way to ensure we got the best deal and that it was as stress free as possible. In the end, we ended up closing a week earlier because of her. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family. I can't say enough good things about her.

We were first time home buyers and didn't know the first thing about what we were getting into. My only knowledge of real estate comes from watching too many silly reality tv shows, and her capabilities far exceed any of those people. Sorry, not sorry.

We had so many questions and she was always willing to help, whether it was doing research or immediately having a solution. She has a breadth of resources and it is clear that other vendors enjoy working with her. We would work with her again in an instant and definitely will be recommending her to everyone. We trusted throughout the entire process that she had our best interest in mind. Never did we imagine that we'd own a house in one of the most expensive places to live, and for that, we are eternally grateful for Gia. We're excited for the potential that our property has and will 100% partner with her again in the future.

The owner/manager is great at taking money for their "services", and increasing the costs of their "services" without having really provided such. The owner makes certain that the board (most likely consisting of elderly and un-informed victims) follows his impulses to have "his contractors" do the job. When requests were finally made for multiple bids, it was strange that he insisted (on a group call) giving "his guy" another chance to change his price. The point of gaining multiple bids is to secure the best candidate at the best price. Cammarata then brought back a revised the bid to be $1.00 less than what should have been the winning bid. When it comes to needing help to resolve an issue that is within the community, he rarely responds to his clients. He is haughty, arrogant and condescending and I would not consider using this company ever. P.S. I feel sorry for those who have entrusted their homes to this company. Most of the reviews here have been pretty accurate and true to what our community went through before a new Board finally fired Cammarata.
