“He helped me sell my property really quick and found the right buyer; even though i had a contingency attached to the sale. Glad I chose him.”
“Our relationship with Justin started as a referral from a trusted Realtor here in Virginia whom we've used on both the sale and purchase of two houses. Our local Realtor was that rare combo of knowledgeable, hard-working, responsive and experienced and we asked her for a recommendation of someone with matching qualities to sell our son's house in Van Nuys. She suggested Justin and we couldn't be happier with the result. He was prompt in responding and diligent in guiding the process along. He is the go-to agent for knowledge of the Van Nuys residential market. That includes, most importantly, a firm understanding of what buyers are looking for, and willing to pay for, in purchasing a house. He was thus able to provide advice and guidance on the refreshing, repairing and improving that would return $1+ in sales price for every $1 spent and, critically, he had access to quality contractors able to get the work done promptly, which meant putting the house on the market when planned.”
“Chris Ristau is very professional and knowledgable in everything Real Estate/Morgage. I would definitely refer E3 Realty to anyone looking for real estate or mortgage needs. My real estate process and transaction went very smooth and was a fantastic experience.”
“We are completey satisfied with Jim Tierney. We are so impressed by his integrity, honesty, and professionalism. With his years of experience, his advice and expertise were invaluable. We had the challenge of living out of the area during the sale. Jim was excellent with communication. The sale process was smooth and low stress with Jim guiding us through it. He was able to advise us in exactly what was needed to prepare the house for sale. His marketing strategy was excellent, resulting in the sale of the house in a little over 2 weeks at a good price with multiple offers. We give Jim our highest recommendation!”
“He is the best, he understands what buyer wants and recommends”
“Working with Payal Kir was an outstanding experience from start to finish. She was there for every step of the home-buying journey—always accessible, highly knowledgeable, and deeply committed to making the process smooth and successful. Payal took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and provided thoughtful guidance and expertise throughout the search, negotiations, and final closing. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care truly set her apart. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Strongly recommend Iveth. Profesional and really helpful.”
“Santiago knew what type of home we were looking for in our desired area. He took the time to show us homes that were on the market. We found a home within a couple of weeks. It had everything we were looking for in a home. He negotiated a good price to our liking The purchase went smoothly.”
“We were able to get the house we wanted within our budget, all thanks to Pillar Tobias. She was really helpful in trying multiple ways to get our loan approved. It was a bit rough because we had a lot of issues but her dedication and persistence made us pull through. Thank you so much for all your efforts, and for not giving up even when we already did.”
“Mr. Holland was very goal oriented and practical. He allowed us to choose amongst three plans and provided some of the best crews to complete that plan. He wasn't a hands-off agent but actually got his hands dirty to help out. It shows he enjoys what he does and gives his best. Anyone who works with him would not be disappointed. Thrilled he took us on.”
“Angelina since the very beginning showed us how professional and knowledgeable she is. She went above and beyond expectations not only on the real estate part but also on the human side. I have never seen anyone with such high working ethics, reliability, and the desire to make sure her clients are very happy and comfortable with the tedious process of selling a house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Angelina to anyone in need of buying or selling real estate. She's truly an amazing agent and an even better human being.”
“Amy was a pleasure to work with, I would give her 6 stars out of 5!”
“Several agents reached out to us with basic information, but Jane Cresswell's initial contact was a step above all the others. She'd done some research and already had some helpful information about our property. Outstanding from the outset and brilliant throughout.”
“Matt was very professional and personable. He was attentive to all my questions and took care of the "little things" diligently. He was also a great resource for the technicalities of the moving process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy.”
“High level performance from Adam every step of the way. I was skeptical of the house selling fast in this market but Adam helped facilitate a quick sale for more than we were asking.”
“Laura was a pleasure to work with. She was very patient because we don't live in the area and she made herself available every time we wanted to look at the properties. She really made a point to get to know what we wanted. She replied to our emails promptly and we felt confident as she was guiding us through this process. Great agent to work with.”
“You recommended 2 agents, both of whom contacted me but Tyron did so within a few hours and we hit it off and he got the job. Thank you for the excellent recommendation!”
“It was a pleasure to deal with Louis in regards to the sale of my property.”
“Efficient and non-intrusive service. They recommended an agent, Craig Ackerman, who got us our dream home after only 3 weeks, 4 house-viewings, and one offer later. We'd gone through 3 ineffective agents over a 4 month period before this, so it was much appreciated!”
“Wonderful experience!! They were experienced and professional and prompt!!”
