I must say that Harry is an excellent realtor. As first time home buyer, I did not know what to expect. He explained the homebuying process in detail, was available when I had questions, was patient, concerned about my needs and wants, and made sure that I was well taken care of. I know that realtors work on a commission, but I can honestly say that that he was more concerned about me than his commission. In addition, he went above and beyond! I would recommend him all day every day for your real estate needs!! Thanks to Harry, I am now happily ensconced in my new home!! Even though he comes from money, he is not pretentious at all!! He is the most down to earth person you will meet

He really knows the ins and outs of the real estate market and has the right connections. He helped my wife and I sell our condo then found us the perfect townhome to raise our two daughters in. Very personable as well.

A lot of people take the California real estate test and pass. They call themselves realtors, except they dont have a clue. However, if you ever need a realtor who actually knows the market, understands how to deal with less knowledgeable agents, understands the ability to obtain a mortgage and knows how to work with escrow, Harry Thornton is your man. When you first meet him, you may think to yourself, Great. The agent is a teenager. Yes, Harry is still in his 20s. But he is knowledgeable, diligent and really very knowledgeable when it comes to the most current real estate market trend. He has sold my daughter and son-in-laws home, helped me purchase a home and is currently helping them purchase a new property. I would recommend him any time.

Harry helped my daughter tremendously during a very difficult situation; where he spent an extraordinary amount of time showing her properties. He really went the extra mile & always answered texts & emails immediately. He displayed an incredible work ethic, professionalism, honesty & great people skills. I really cant say enough about how helpful he has been except to say I dont think there are many others who compare with Harry. Hope we can work with him again.

Harry is professional and is very detailed in his home search. He is willing to go the extra mile to see his clients happy with their life changing purchase. He was able to provide me with homes within my price range and area i was looking at.
