“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.”
“She's very knowledgeable and she's the pro. She made a good deal with the property that I got. She was able to get a sellers credit that covered my closing cost. The amount is more than the closing cost itself. Ate Adora will guide you and explain all the details. She's also always available to answer your questions and is there when you need help. I highly recommend her. I'm grateful that I get to know her.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Chuck was a complete pleasure to work with! We have made a new friend!”
“Ms Hagley was referred to us by good friends. She understood what we wanted and came through with that. She guaranteed we’d be in contract no more than two weeks and we were in contract before the two weeks was up. It was a difficult decision for us to sale my grandparents’ place but I am soooo glad we did. I’m always throwing the name out there to people that are thinking of selling. I’m very grateful for the services that Cindi provided for us. I would highly recommend Cindi and her group because they stand by their word and commitment to you. Thank you again!!!”
“We just bought our first home. I had no idea where to find a realtor to work with. I'm so glad I found Agent Pronto. They put me in contact with Liliana who is amazing! I would highly recommend this service to anyone!”
