Home buyers and sellers love Agent Pronto.
We’ve helped over 500,000 home buyers and sellers find their ideal real estate agent.
“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.”

“Where can I get started. The recommendation we initially got for Laren fell through by accident. And for some reason we kept pushing to work with Karen. I'm so glad we did. Karen had the experience to walk us through a stressful process of collecting all the information we needed to make the process much easier. We're so happy we were able to land in someone's hands with so much patience and knowledge . Being first time home buyers my wife and I, we definitely needed someone like her. We just want to say thank you. We will definitely keep Karen in mind for family and friends. And you never know. Even for my wife and I in the near future.”

“Danny was excellent. I met him 10 Years ago when he helped us purchase our first home and I wouldn't go with anyone else but him. I trust him and his knowledge. We worked together again now in selling my home. Thank you for everything Danny. I highly recommend him :)”

“Steven simply the best in the business!”

“He is the best, he understands what buyer wants and recommends”

“Jason as was very knowledgeable, patient, and went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”

“David was able to help and guide us through one of the most stressful times in our lives. He made the entire process smooth and as stress free as possible. He communicates clearly, and was available to answer any questions I had without pause. Thank you David!!”

“My husband and I have really enjoyed working with Joel in the process of finding a new home. He has been extremely knowledgeable, patient, and professional. He was timely but not too pushy. He is very detailed-oriented, which we appreciated greatly in the unique home purchase we made. He was very clear in explaining documents, market trends, and legal topics we were less familiar with. He was also very reliable and dependable.”

“There was not a time when I wanted to communicatewith Dorene when she was not available”

“Marco checked all the boxes, was extremely helpful for us as first-time homebuyers and explained EVERYTHING to us. We never felt pressured to buy a house we didn't see fit. Marco was so patient with all the questions we had and always so quick in his responses, which is so appreciated!”

“JH was very professional and informative”

“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!”

“Jannely Sandoval did an amazing job. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. Would use her again in a second.”

“Aaron is awesome! He’s detail-oriented, responsive, gives honest assessments, and genuinely looks out for his clients. Also, his seamless coordination with all parties involved in the escrow really helped simplify my home buying process. I'm grateful to have been referred to him, and will definitely be connecting with him again when it's time to buy or sell property in the future. I highly recommend Aaron for anyone's real estate needs!”

“Toi Holliday went above and beyond what I expected. I live in a different town from the sale of my late brother's home. She oversaw the cleaning of his home, the trimming of plants and the cutting of lawn, front and back. She held a very successful open house, with three offers coming in. It sold quickly and for a good price.”

“Laura kept on top of things, kept me informed, gave me weekly activity report as to what was going on with the house and kept me informed throughout closing, very professional I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

“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.”

“My experience with Mark Anthony was one to remember. Very help full guy.”
