“Amy is so easy to work with and this is the third property we have purchased with her. She knows the comps well and was able to guide to the best price to offer when competing with several cash offers. We won and could not be happier with our experience and purchase.”
“As a first-time homebuyer, I was naturally nervous and had a million questions, but Gabby was incredibly patient and took the time to walk me through every step of the process. She was always on top of new listings and extremely responsive, often answering my texts or calls within minutes, to include late at night or early in the morning. Her knowledge of the market gave me total confidence during negotiations and gave me the peace of mind I needed. If you want someone who is professional, proactive, and truly cares, look no further!”
“The Best in the Business—Amy & Anthony Went Above and Beyond! Finding the perfect home is more than just a transaction—it's a journey filled with emotions, decisions, and the hope of a new beginning. Amy made this journey unforgettable for my husband, our baby boy, and me. From the moment we started working with her, she wasn’t just our real estate agent—she became family. Amy’s knowledge, professionalism, and dedication go beyond words. She guided us with patience and clarity, breaking everything down in a way that made sense and ensuring we felt confident in every step. Her expertise wasn’t limited to real estate—she caught crucial details in the mortgage process that the loan officer overlooked, and even provided valuable insights on home insurance. She always had our best interests at heart, proving time and again that she genuinely cared about us and our future. And we can’t forget Anthony, her incredible co-agent, whose support made the process even smoother. His kindness and ex”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Nick to purchase my first home, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Nick was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, guiding me through every step of the process with expertise and patience. What really stood out was Nick's ability to explain complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand. He provided me with valuable resources and connected me with individuals who helped streamline the purchase process. Thanks to his efforts, what could have been a daunting experience was actually a breeze. I highly recommend Nick to anyone in search of a dedicated, personable, and professional real estate agent. His expertise and support made buying my first home a smooth and enjoyable journey.”
“Bob Zeller is the best! He is always responsive, on time (typically early), and very detail-oriented. I always felt like he took the time to understand my needs and explained everything in detail and in a easy-to-understand way. I would highly recommend Bob to anyone!”
“Since we contacted Pablo, we knew he was the right person to sell our house, he was trustworthy and worked hard to meet our expectations!”
“After being strung along for 9 months by another agent, my lender Michelle Magana referred Linda Karen to me. Linda and I had one conversation and immediately took up the search to find me home. Linda started by asking what I wanted. Then we started looking online. Within one day we met face to face and began our physical search. While the other agent kept sending emails promising that she "had my back", she never offered to meet with me and never produced or showed me one property in a 9 month period. Linda and I only had 1 telephone conversation, and we set an appointment and were out house shopping the next. Linda doesn't offer lip service and platitudes. Linda comes with factual useful information that yeilds results! Some agents are all talk. Not Linda. She's all about getting you into not just "a house", but into "YOUR HOME". I am a satisfied client and if you are looking for a realtor to be upfront about your options, whose totally invested in finding you the home you need... You want Linda Karen in your corner. She's going to work closely with your lender to get you into the best property for your dollar.”
“David was very good, very knowledgeable, and everything I needed. Got me a great price - would recommend him to anybody! ”
“Al quickly and professionally handled all issues with the buyer / contract and issues with the escrow agency. The sale from listing to completion was expeditious and the property sold for more than asking price. I was very pleased with the entire process.”
“Diego showed absolute professionalism throughout the entire process. It went very smoothly and all parties were happy with the end result. He was very transparent from the beginning and tempered our expectations from beginning to end. We are very pleased he was able to get above listing price for the home and ironed out all the details in a timely manner. I will definitely refer The Opulence Group to all my friends and family moving forward.”
