We had an excellent experience working with Isayas to find our first home! His patience was unmatched as we toured both single-family and multi-family homes across a broad geography for over a year. He was always available, precise in his communication, and truly listened, asking thoughtful questions that helped us refine our strategy. Isayas pointed out aspects of homes and neighborhoods we might not have considered, and we appreciated his balanced and insightful approach. During the closing process, he did a fantastic job negotiating on our behalf, thinking ahead and strategizing to secure additional benefits from the seller. He went above and beyond during escrow, ensuring we understood every step. Throughout the entire journey, we felt incredibly supported. We will absolutely be partnering with him again for our next home! Thank you, Isayas, for being such an important part of this next chapter in our livesaEUR"we celebrate you as much as you have celebrated us throughout this entire process!

Firstly, Johanna is the best! Lastly, Johanna is the best! There is no in between. I truly believe my purchase would not have occurred with another agent. This bad boy was complicated to say the least! lol (I can laugh now because I have it!) I'm not going to spend time talking about the knowledge, competence, resourcefulness, timeliness, etc. that Johanna possesses. Any average agent worth working with should have those qualities - theyre just permission to play. Ill instead focus on three key areas that I believe set her apart and made this dream a reality: (1) Shes caring! Unless shes an actor turned real estate agent lol, the woman truly cares about her clients. I knew Johanna wanted the best for me and wanted to see me happy. At no point did I feel I was just another client/deal/means to an end, etc. I feel she went above and beyond. She was on the phone with HOA representatives and city officials on my behalf. You only do that if you care. This was so important because without it, she wouldnt possess the other qualities that made my purchase happen. (2) Shes patient! I was an out of state buyer with all theses wants, needs, desires and specifications. In other words, I was picky! We saw sooooo many properties, and no lie, there were only two HOA buildings in all of SoCal with condos that met my unique wants and financing qualifications. And we had to source a broker willing to structure a loan for my situation - through her resources she found one! And, I still had the nerve to be picky. AND, the unit I purchased wasnt even an active listing!! But she found it! I didnt pick it out. She was like, aEURoeI have this one thats not on your list but I think it fits you.aEUR? It was exactly what I wanted! If you know what you want or have an idea of what that is but need someone to be patient with you and not make you feel pressured to settle and put your wants, desires and happiness first, I'm confident, from my experience, that Johanna will make it happen for you. (3) Shes tough! Its a tight knit community of real estate agents, brokers, lenders, etc. so they generally play nice and work together but sometimes everyone isnt holding up their end and these sellers can be a trip! lol Properties over priced, in need of repairs, unreasonable conditions/stipulations, etc. Yep, all those things were a part of my process. The hope is that your purchase is smooth, but when its not, you need someone that will go to bat for you and negotiate on your behalf and not acquiesce under pressure. I got a fair deal with Johanna bringing ALL parties together to make it happen. It didnt start that way but she was persistent and fought for me. I'm so appreciative. Theres so much more I can write and speak on things shes done for me post close but Ill respect your time lol. If you want to know more, reach out! When we finally closed, given the entirety of the experience, she called me and said, aEURoeI feel like I can do anything!aEUR? When you care about people and thats the driving force behind your actions, you get to make statements like that. Thank you for everything, Johanna!

I can't thank Sarom and Kris enough for their incredible support throughout my first home purchase. From the moment I met Sarom, I knew she was the right person to work with. She was knowledgeable, confident, and encouraging. Sarom and her team patiently guided me through the entire process, even supporting me as I bought a fixer-upper. I truly appreciated her insights during our home tours, where she helped me see both the potential and the pitfalls of each property. I felt like she went to bat for me so many times. You definitely want someone like Sarom in your corner. Now, I'm happily settled in my beautiful new home, and I wouldn't have gotten here without Sarom, Kris, and Angie.

She also went above and beyond by connecting us with trusted vendors to help complete the purchase. Her responsiveness was exceptional, always available to answer questions and keep us on track. We truly appreciate her professionalism and dedication, and we couldn't have asked for a better agent!
