“Amy is a great agent that provides personal experience and approaches each sale with dedication and care. She was able to help me navigate complicated transaction that involved difficult market conditions and dreadful uncooperative HOA. Amy get things done, my apartment was sold in a matter of couple of months, while other apartments in that building have been “active/for sale” for almost a year now. You can see her experience in negotiations, market conditions and sales techniques, get your property sold with a peace of mind. I really enjoyed working with her, as she stayed on top of all details and communicated every new update to me regularly. Thank you so much Amy for your help!”

“David Salmonson helped us both sell our home and buy our next one, and he was incredible from start to finish. He is super punctual, incredibly diligent, and makes sure every single box is checked and deadlines are met. Beyond being a true professional, he has a great sense of humor that keeps the stress down, and he’s refreshingly honest and candid when you need it most. Another huge bonus is his contact list—he seemingly knows a top-tier person for everything, whether you need home repairs, landscaping, or anything else during a move. We couldn’t recommend David more highly!”

Even after the sale closed, Mona remained incredibly helpful, offering advice and support whenever needed. Her ability to simplify a complex process, paired with her industrious work ethic, made the entire experience far less stressful. I truly appreciate her dedication and would recommend Mona without hesitation to anyone navigating a probate sale.”

“Diya helped us find our dream home in Simi Valley, and honestly the whole experience was amazing. From day one she made us feel completely comfortable and kept us informed at every single step. Anytime we had a question or a concern, she was on it. She’s so knowledgeable about the area and the market and she truly goes above and beyond for her clients. What I loved most was that it never felt like a stiff business transaction. It felt like going house shopping with a girlfriend who just happens to know everything about real estate. She's warm, she's patient, and she made what could have been a really stressful process feel almost fun. She also connected us with some wonderful service recommendations that made the whole move so much easier. You can tell she's experienced and reliable in how she handles everything, not just in the big moments but in all the little details too. We're so happy we went with her and we're already planning to use her to sell our condo next. I can’t imagine a better experience than working with Diya.”

“Brad Korb and his team are the best in the business. One of their strengths is their listening skills. They hear your concerns and explain the process of selling your house, escrow, etc. clearly. Most importantly, they answer their phone! I have bought and sold ten houses over the years and have been frustrated by sales people who let their phones go to VM all the time. Brad is very busy and always sets up a 2-3 hour window in the morning and afternoon to return calls. His other staff always seems available to answer questions. Brad got me 18 offers in the first week and sold my home for $86,000 above the appraised value. Brad Korb's office was my "Dream Team!"”

“I first met Jessica in July 2024 at an open house she was hosting in Emerald Hills. We weren't really looking for anything in particular at the time and told Jessica as such. Still, she was still super welcoming and chatted with us to get a feel for what we were looking for. Couple of weeks later, she emailed me with a place she found that fit what we told her, so I was impressed that she took notes. We didn't have an agent at the time so we figured we'd work with her to give it a try. We started to seriously look for a new home at the beginning of 2025 and Jessica was always super responsive and honest with her assessment of the various places we found on Zillow. Embarrassingly, we put Jessica through the blender a couple of times (three times, to be exact) thinking that we were going to bid for a house but didn't end up going through with it for various reasons. Each time, Jessica was gracious and patient with us and continued to help us search for our new home. At long last, we found one we liked (Jessica approves, lol) and are about to close on the house really soon! She helped us negotiate the price down and even got us a set of washer/dryer from the seller ;) To whoever's reading this, the fact that I'm writing this without AI assistance should demonstrate to you my appreciation for Jessica and how we really recommend her if you're looking for a new home in the Bay Area! Edit: adding that Jessica works with construction guys too so she can tell when something's not to code!!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Beatrix Whipple to guide us through buying our first home! From the very beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, supportive, and always willing to go above and beyond to help us navigate the process. What really sets her apart is that her support didn’t end once we closed on our house. She continues to be an amazing resource, always happy to answer questions, offer advice, and help in any way she can. We’re so grateful for everything she has done for our family, and to top it all off, we’re lucky enough to now call her our neighbor! We truly couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

“My daughter was looking for a new home so we contacted Steve. I met Steve a few years ago and he always stayed in touch. When we went to look at different homes Steve always had the information on each home and our appointments confirmed. When we opened Escrow he was there to guide us at every step. I appreciated that very much as Escrow is daunting at times! Steve went out of town for a few days during our Escrow but always kept in touch via calls, texts and emails. We never felt stranded!! I couldn't imagine going thru the process without Steve. Thank you to Steve for being so wonderful and helpful!”

“The amount of work and effort that Justin Bonney of Clear Way Real Estate put into selling our Lake Balboa home was incredible. The home needed work. Justin acted like a general contractor to coordinate his handyman, plumber, A/C guy, and landscaper. These contractors were all very happy to do the work on short notice for for Justin’s clients. And they did it based on our very limited budget. It blew us away. The repairs Justin’s team did for us (replacing old French doors, touch-up paint, replacing cabinetry, repairing electrical outlets) cost us about one third the amount quoted to us by independent general contractors. With Justin’s strategy, his guidance, and his network of realtors and clients, we had three good offers within two weeks and were happy with the price. Escrow closed in about 20 days. It is clear to me now that not all realtors are the same. Justin has developed these relationships and he puts them to work for his clients. His efforts far exceeded our expectations.”

“Casey did more for the sale of my home than I ever could have imagined. The market is so slow, but his recommendations and skill at filling an Open House awarded me an offer on Day one of Open House! Homes on Hillcrest were taking 2-3 months to sell and only after multiple price reductions. Our Open House was full while an Open House up the street the same day never saw a single buyer. His work ethic didn’t disappear after the initial offer either and I ended up accepting that first offer a week later at $10 over asking, that was $15k more than their initial offer. He is personable and smart with the patience of a saint. I definitely threw him a few obstacles during the sale that he made work with ease. I could not recommend any realator nor any person higher.”

“JR did an amazing job helping me find my first home. JR was a great communicator and advocate for me. I had specific things I wanted in my first home with one of them being finding a move in ready turn key home. Once we found the property, JR put in an offer and I was luckily selected out of the other few offers the buyer had received. Despite the home buying process being quite overwhelming for me at times JR made the process absolutely seamless and painless. After the inspection of the home, we found a few issues that JR took care of quickly and negotiated with the seller all the necessary repairs that needed to be done. JR was able to negotiate with the buyer installing a new plumbing system and other fixes as well. Overall, JR did an amazing job and I will gladly use his services again for any real estate services!”

“Dora represented us as first-time buyers in Culver City. Her communication was consistent, her search was responsive to our preferences, and her negotiating made a real difference in a competitive sale. She supported us through closing and continued to follow up after we moved in. I would recommend her to buyers at any stage.”

“We hired Brad and the Keyes team to help us buy a new home in Eagle Rock. We already lived in the area and had a decent idea of what we were looking for, but Brad's expertise and experience in Eagle Rock were invaluable to our home search. He showed us a range of houses at varying price points and conditions (from total fixers to turnkey) to help us get a feel for what was out there. He steered us away from homes he didn't think were a good fit and made sure we understood what it really took to take on a project. Ultimately we decided a fixer wasn't for us and he found us an incredible off market gem that we purchased. Without his expertise and relationships we would probably still be looking. The whole Keyes team was great and they really work together as a team: Annie and Josh both showed us properties on short notice when Brad wasn't available and Narine was super on top of things and communicative during escrow. Overall it was a great experience and we would hire them again!”

“As a first time homebuyer, I was both excited and nervous about the homebuying process regardless of how much I researched and prepared. My partner and I were actually planning to wait until next year but all the stars aligned and we’re now living in our dream home, and we couldn’t have done it without Brandon! With a wealth of experience, Brandon helped make the homebuying process less daunting by thoroughly explaining each step along the way and communicating with us clearly and consistently. When we first met, we’d planned on just a house tour and Brandon was welcoming, friendly and informative without pressuring us to move our timeline. He then referred us to an open house in Castaic/Santa Clarita and as soon as we stepped in, we knew it was our forever home. We contacted Brandon immediately afterwards and he helped make it happen, working expeditiously to get our offer letter to the seller and connecting us with a trusted lender who we ultimately decided to use. And when we discovered that there was another offer on the house, Brandon advocated for us with the listing agent and guided us on how to make a competitive offer. His expertise, negotiation skills and strong business relationships were instrumental in getting our offer accepted. Soon after, we were full force with paperwork and necessary next steps. Whenever I had questions, which I had plenty of, Brandon was very responsive, patient and reassuring. He understood our needs and expectations as a first time homebuyer and delivered on that tenfold. We found the perfect home, made an offer the next day, closed in a month and now we’re all moved in! All this to say that I highly recommend Brandon as your real estate agent. He has the experience, knowledge and more than a realtor, he’s a great and kind person to help guide you on your homebuying journey.”
