ZillowVERIFIEDCristina was very thorough, considerate and professional. Her connections to help us prepare our home for sale made the process flow easily from start to finish. If you are serious about selling your house, she and her team will make it possible, all while getting you top dollar. I couldn't recommend her more.

ZillowVERIFIED Cristina not only assisted me in selling my previous home but also helped me by my current home as a contingent sale. I have never been through this process but having Cristina through the entire process made a HUGE difference. She was always available, extremely knowledgeable, and gave great advice through multiple scenarios. I cant recommend her enough. Thank you Cristina.

ZillowVERIFIED Cristina is a pro. Start to finish. Assisted me with the sale of my aunts condo after her passing. Dealt with trust and estate issues throughout like a champ. She had handy men for repairs and movers at the ready to assist with all phases of listing and sale. She also staged it and helped move it and get top dollar in a sideways market. Close was seamless.

ZillowVERIFIED I was referred to Cristina via a colleague and we just clicked. She lives in the neighborhood I grew up in so I trusted her immediately with area expertise. I live in another state and we were selling my dad's condo. Many complicated situations arose and Cristina was there to guide but not push me. She offered great solutions and made a difficult process so much easier. I never doubted she would sell this property and just when I thought it may fall through, we closed. She works very well with other realtors and her staff is top notch. Thank you Cristina, as I said several times, "I really appreciate you".

ZillowVERIFIED I would preface this by saying our first introduction to Cristina was over two years ago. My wife and I were not sure we wanted to sell the property. It took us almost two years to decide and Cristina was there for us the entire time to answer any and every question that came up. She was very responsive. Once we decided to sell, she took over and made the process incredibly smooth and fast! Cristina knows real estate! Less than a month from start to escrow close. She got it done in what we considered record time. The house sold in a week from listing and for over asking price. We were impressed. Cristina provided excellent council. An example, we were happy we had several offers over asking price. Cristina said we should go back and ask for best and final from all the bidders. Amazingly all but one responded and we selected the offer Cristina recommended. She articulated the reasoning for doing so very well at a level we could understand. Everything moved very smoothly, from the sale through escrow closing. We couldnt have been happier!

ZillowVERIFIED Cristina helped us sell our Downey home at a price way above our expectations. She helped us stage our home for pictures and a very successful open house. She was very knowledgeable and she made the whole process so easy. She is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her!

Review for Member: Cristina Picarelli
ZillowVERIFIED Cristina was beyond helpful throughout the entire process. I'm a first time homebuyer so I had no idea what I was doing and she helped explain the entire process. She made herself available at any time and was able to set appointments to view almost all the homes I wanted to see. I felt completely comfortable in relying on her and her expertise. Needless to say, I will definitely recommend to others as well as continue to work with her in the future!

ZillowVERIFIED We have used Cristina Picarelli in the past and will continue to use her for our real estate needs. She provides great personal attention and maintained constant communication throughout the entire home sale process. Although the market was changing, Cristina knew exactly house to maximize our exposure and how to highlight our homes best features in order to obtain the best possible offer in a short amount of time. Our home was sold in 2 weeks when others were stagnant in the market as home prices were dropping. We wholeheartedly recommend Christina to all our family and friends for any real estate needs and will continue to use her in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED I entrusted Cristina Picarelli with the sale of a rental property I owned in Downey, CA. She conducted a thorough Comparative Market Analysis and was very helpful with recommendations on how to get the house show ready Cristina held an open house over the Labor Day weekend and received 20 offers on the property which ended up selling for $70,000 over the asking price.Her marketing and networking skills are second to none. I consider her an exceptional real estate professional who is willing and able to provide a very high level of service. I would not hesitate to work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate professional.

ZillowVERIFIED In 2017, Cristina helped us sell our home and purchase our current home. When it was time for our son and daughter-in-law to purchase their first home, we knew we wanted Cristina to help them because of her previous professionalism and knowledge. Cristina and her staff were engaged from start to finish. Shes awesome. We highly recommend her and would use her as our agent again without hesitation if the need arises.

Review for Member: Cristina Picarelli
ZillowVERIFIED We had decided to interview a few agents when it came time for us to purchase a home. But, as soon as we messaged Cristina and received her responses, we just knew. We could tell, right away, how driven she is and that she is a go-getter. Cristina is very easy to work with. She is not pushy and listens to your wants/needs. She stayed in constant communication with us and answered all of our questions/concerns in a timely manner. She also brought things to our attention that we wouldnt think of. This made it easier for us to make final decisions. When you are buying a house, this is a big deal! She will forever be our agent for any real estate needs. Dont wast your time looking anywhere else.

ZillowVERIFIED Cristina I apologize for this late review but I would like to commend you for your extraordinary talent and skill in the real estate industry. You and your team sold my condo at the Aqua Towers in Long Beach at the time when everyone is in the panic mode because of the Corona Virus. You walked me through the process from pricing, staging and storage of my stuff. I cannot thank you and Shane Thompson enough for making that sale happen for me. You?re both awesome answering immediately all the questions I have which made me ?worry free?. More power to you both. Sincerely - Dory Santos

ZillowVERIFIED Cristina helped me get my house during the most frustrating time of the year (covid-19). She put my offer in right before the, ?stay at home order? went into place and she helped me close quick along with going out of her way to keep us happy through all of the uncertainties. She always answered all of my questions quickly and guided me through the entire process of purchasing my home with so much patience. Truly grateful for all the times she paused her mom life and home schooling her little ones to assist me. Thank you very very much! ? Debbie Estrada

ZillowVERIFIED We had such a great experience working with Cristina, Nicole and the rest of the Picarelli Group. They were our voices of reason during a chaotic time. As stressful as buying a home can be, my wife and I decided to sell our existing home at the same time. From looking at houses, putting in offers, putting our house on the market and accepting offers, Cristina and team had everything organized from beginning to end. With Cristina?s background and experience she was able to answer all of our questions and address any and all concerns. The process of buying and selling a home is very structured and Cristina got us through it with ease and ensured we stayed on schedule. My family and I VERY HAPPY with our forever home and thank Cristina and The Picarelli Group for making it all happen!

ZillowVERIFIED Cristina sold the house next to ours so we decided to use her to sell ours. She was responsive, professional, answered all our questions, was willing to work with me via text and email instead of constant phone calls, knows Long Beach inside and out, and is quite the looker! She made selling our house rather easy and helped relieve some of the stress by staying on top of the other agent. She also helped with our out of state realtor so we could purchase another home on contingency throughout the process. A+ for Awesomeness.

ZillowVERIFIED I was fortunate to have worked with Cristina on the purchase of my first home and had such an amazing experience that I knew immediately I would have her represent me for the sale of the home as my wife and I were set to move from the area. Her local knowledge of the market, professional team, and responsive personalized service are what you get by having her represent you in the sale or purchase of a home. We were in escrow much sooner than other neighboring properties and even received above asking price for our sale! We totally recommened her and her team for your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot say enough about Cristina and her wonderful team, The Picarelli Group. Cristina is an awesome, awesome person and realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable, supports her clients and she and her team provide great care and have your back every step of the way.What impressed us most was the level of thoughtfulness and care that Cristina put into working with us. She was always available, rearranged her schedule to fit ours, answered our myriad of questions, was always calm/patient, never rushed us and showed great savvy in putting together an offer for us. She always made us feel like she really cared about us, that we were partners in the process and she was not just interested in making a sale. Olivia and Nicole of The Picarelli Group were equally exceptional and showed us personalized service. Olivia provided detailed information on the escrow process and Nicole arranged her schedule to help us during the inspection process. We ended up finding a great home and Cristina and her team were there every step of the way, helping us during inspections, escrow and closing. In short, Cristina was everything we needed and were looking for in a realtor. We would enthusiastically recommend Cristina and The Picarelli Group to anyone looking to buy a home.

Her experience really showed through and I would recommend her to anyone that would like a smooth sale!

ZillowVERIFIED I would definitely recommend Cristina for your real state needs.As a first time home buyer, she did a great job at assisting me in any manner she could.Even at times when the whole process was getting frustrating and I was almost ready to give up on buying a home, Cristina managed to keep her cool and make me feel a bit more relax as well.Even after the whole deal was closed, she still manages to try to help source information that is helpful when you become a home owner.

ZillowVERIFIED I am very happy with the job Cristina did in finding me a home! She has literally made my dream of owning a duplex come true. Cristina is an excellent problem solver; she was always very responsive to my phone calls and text messages. Multiple problems arose during escrow and she handled each and every one of them with a great deal of expertise and follow-through. As you know, purchasing a home can be a stressful experience for anyone; however, Cristina went above and beyond to assure me that things would be okay ? and they were. I highly recommend Cristina Picarelli as an agent and plan to refer her to many of my family members and friends.Thank you,Michael R. Lewis

She is very resourceful and was able to refer us to our lender and home inspector whom weve had a very good experience with. She is extremely knowledgeable, honest, and patient and we knew immediately after meeting her that we wanted to work with her for our home purchase. I would definitely recommend her, and will each time I have the opportunity to!

ZillowVERIFIED We have known Cristina for over 8 years. During this time she supported us during both the buying and selling process. Her local industry knowledge, resourcefulness, and attention to detail is first rate. She is attentive and responsive. Simply put she makes buying and selling, a complex and stressful process, look easy. Recently, Cristina managed the sale of our property. She managed all the repairs, negotiated with contractors, and prepped the property for sale. The house sold in 30 days. What is unique about our situation is that we live in Georgia. Not once did we lose sleep over the sale of our home, because we had Cristina in our corner.

Review for Member: Cristina Picarelli
ZillowVERIFIED Cristina was really helpful with local knowledge, as we didnt know the area very well where we were purchasing. She did a superb job of negotiating our purchase and contingency repairs, and she persistently followed up post sale to negotiate payment of an unanticipated repair, saving us from having to pay an additional $1500. Cristina also thoughtfully provided a thumb drive with helpful home purchase documents when tax time came around. I would absolutely recommend her to others. She was also very patient with me when I was stressing, never pushy and remained cool under pressure. Overall, a great experience.

Review for Member: Cristina Picarelli
ZillowVERIFIED Initially, we met Cristina at an open house. When we decided to sell our own house, she was one of three agents we called to interview. We were already leaning towards working with her based on our meeting at the open house and then she confirmed our opinion by presenting a far superior plan of action. She had our house sold within one week of listing. We were extremely picky in the purchase of our new home and it took many months for something to come up that met our criteria. She was patient and never pushy. She really understands the market, took time to understand what we needed, and then took the necessary time to help us find it. She is professional, ethical and smart, everything you need in an agent. We highly recommend Cristina to anyone looking to sell or buy.

ZillowVERIFIED We recently sold our first house in Long Beach and Cristina helped make the whole process as smooth as could be from start to finish. We initially were impressed with her friendly, yet efficient manner in explaining her thoughts on our house and how she planned to sell it. Obviously, she did it right because we had an offer in four days! She was always available to communicate with, responding to our questions, and keeping us abreast of each phase of the selling and closing process. As I said - she helped make it smooth and easy. Highly recommended. Thanks Cristina!

She helped us buy and sell our 1st home and recently helped us with our 2nd home purchase. Her expertise, timely communication, flexibility, thoroughness, and patience are unlike any other real estate agent.

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Cristina when we decided to sell our beloved Long Beach home for a job transfer. While we wanted to get a good price, the home meant a great deal to us and we needed someone who could negotiate on our behalf and give us excellent support throughout the process. Cristina was incredible. She stayed in constant contact like we needed. She was extremely kind and very helpful during every step. She not only helped us stage our house to sell quickly but made sure we selected the right offer. This was our third home sale and I am so thankful we worked with Cristina. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
