Ara is the best real estate agent I have ever used. I have been trying to buy a home for 5 years in this crazy real estate market. We went through many agents that were not willing to spend the time it takes to satisfy picky house hunters like my wife and I. Ara worked his tail off for two years to help us find the perfect home. He never gives up. He is an amazing negotiator and a true professional. I consider him the best agent I have ever used.

We looked for a home for many years. Most realtors after a few showings faded away. Yes we were picky buyers. Then we met Ara the realtor who never gives up. Not only did he stay in the game until we found our dream home he became a friend along the way. You wont find a better person or a harder worker. Ara is honest and knows his job inside out. If you want a top notch realtor Ara is your man.

My wife and I recently bought our first home with Ara's help. He made the entire process a breeze. We were able to find a house much nicer than we had hoped for, and Ara helped us buy it under asking price, closing 10 days early. The market in southern California is extremely competitive, but Ara knew exactly how to make our offer appealing compared with the many all-cash offers out there.I'm really impressed with Ara's people skills. From a few conversations, he was able to understand exactly what was important to everyone involved and helped us reach a deal that everyone was pleased with. He has connections with many other people in the industry, too: he connected us with a mortgage agent we really liked, and arranged an inspection that was very thorough.Ara was always very responsive, well-prepared, and he anticipated every problem we might run into. I'd strongly recommend Ara to anyone thinking of purchasing a home in the area.

Before choosing a real estate agent, I did my research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into selling the property (time and effort, not necessarily financially) and how they promote their listings. We found Ara Melkonian of Pacific Sothebys due to his rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings on his site easily), social media presence was strong, and we could tell he put a lot of work into individual listings.I spoke with Ara and then met with him at my home. He effortlessly answered questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. Ara made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should).When we saw our listing we were blown away. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. The second buyer that saw the property put in an offer.Our house went under contract fast after we put it on the market and accepted their offer and Ara walked us through every step of the closing process. We couldn't have had a more pleasant experience.I highly recommend Ara Melkonian of Pacific Sothebys due to his rankings are excellent. He's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor.

Helped us with a Pacific Beach and Mission hills purchase. Before we met Ara we talked with other local agents but finally selected Ara due to his obvious expertise with the zip codes we chose. Reliable and knowledgable; we felt we were in trustworthy hands the entire way--high confidence recommendation! We are very comfortable with our home and couldn't have done this alone. Thank you!

As out of town buyers looking to move to Pacific Beach we knew we needed an agent with tremendous local knowledge and expertise. What drew us to Ara was his amazing energy and great personality. Ara guided us through the buying process with great skill and we firmly believe that we would not have found and purchased our ideal retirement home without him.

Ara was Impressive! His capacity to both address our needs, juggle our distractions, complete our contractual needs and bring forth the types of homes on market we required, was an incredible feat! He helped us with our nephew's condominium purchase in mission valley and was also very helpful in assessing value for our aunt's high rise sale downtown. I'm truly happy we met and were able to do business with Ara! Highly recommend!
