Slow, incompetent, constant excuses, confrontational, and extremely rude. First Eagle Realty was…read morethe lending broker for the buyer of our old home. Mila, Anahit, and Vehan all constantly made excuses and delayed the sale of our home. Thanks to them, escrow took more than two months to close. It delayed the purchase of our new home three times because we needed the proceeds from the sale of our old home to buy our new home; we almost lost the purchase of our new home because the seller and agent were losing patience with the delays from selling our old home. The seller's agent for our new home actually had to take it upon herself to push Ana and Vehan to close the buyer's loan to buy our old home. We also called Ana and Vehan every day to make sure they were diligently processing our buyer's loan. I hated to do it but we did not want to risk losing both the purchase of our new home and selling our old home. Even though we submitted our offer to buy our new home several days after we accepted the buyer's offer to buy our old home, escrow on our new home was ready to close BEFORE escrow closed on our old home. Mila was the first agent from First Eagle for our buyer but she was fired midway through escrow. The delays started while Mila was still there. Ana took over but the delays continued. We requested to speak with the First Eagle Realty owner, Vehan, but she was extremely rude to us, constantly cutting us off, talking on and on in an attempt to sound smart but just looked like a show-off, and then making a racist remark towards us, yelling angrily at Ana to speak with "Chinese". I guess she can't tell a Chinese accent from my American accent nor can she tell that our last name is not Chinese. Very ignorant and insulting. Even though we eventually closed escrow, the buyer of our old home paid a very heavy price by paying a very high interest rate. In addition to the delays in processing the loan for our buyer, First Eagle botched the processing of their loan. They lost the interest rate that they had locked at the beginning of escrow in May 2022 and when they finally re-locked in July 2022, their interest rate jumped up at least 2%. Also, our escrow firm charged our buyers additional fees for delaying the sale of our home even though it was First Eagle's fault, not the buyer's fault. I felt really sorry for our buyer especially because it was not their fault. First Eagle made everyone suffer: Us, the buyer of our old home, and the seller of our new home.

We are still in the same house and very happy with our decision.

We were encouraged to be patient and they worked hard and got us the house that was best for us in a timely manner! Can't ask for more. I recently had to stop by their office for questions regarding our home mortgage, and noticed lots of changes.

Todd Bazik makes buying a home easy. Weekday or weekend, morning or night, he made himself…read moreavailable to us, and helped us get the home we wanted. I've dealt with lots of realtors in my time, and he is by far the easiest to work with. He was never late, never had excuses, and always kept a positive attitude...all the while approaching all situations realistically. This in turn never allowed us to get our hopes up, only to have them dashed at the end. He explained everything to us, and we never felt like any question was "too silly." All documents were sent to us immediately, and he always kept us in the loop, often times without us even asking him to. Todd's mentality seemed to be, "The more you know, the more you're prepared, and the easier the process will be." Todd is a friend first, and realtor second, and when you're dealing with the stresses of buying or selling a home...a friend is exactly what you need Todd to be.

Do you want a shady bully as your realtor? Well look no further. After pointing out that he put the…read morewrong rent on our lease ($1700 higher than listed), Todd became rude and aggressive. When I told him I wanted to talk to him on the phone and ask him some questions about some things on the lease, he told me that he had other people interested in the apartment and would be happy to move on to someone else. I was just trying to do my due diligence. We were approved and loved the unit! But Todd's rude bedside manner was such a turn off, we didn't trust him enough to do the deal. Renter beware. Had to block his cell after he was rude to my wife EDIT: As you can see below, we got a response. As you can see, he wrote, " On a Sunday while I was spending time with my family, the reviewer wanted me to interrupt my day for a phone call after I had already answered more than 25 questions by email." Talk about comically misleading. First of all, it wasn't 25 questions. Yes we had questions (getting answers seemed to be triggering for Todd) but we also had REVISIONS. Many. Secondly, you'll see he directly quoted me ("See you on Yelp." Uh, yeah, Todd. That's what Yelp is for.), so here's a directly quoted exchange: ALEX: Hey Todd. You around today to discuss the lease? Or should it wait til tomorrow. Sorry to bug on a Sunday TODD: Can discuss as long as it's text or email. ALEX: It can wait til tomorrow then. I'd rather it be a call. Thank you. TODD: We need to get this wrapped up if you guys are serious about the unit. In addition to the other top applicant I'm still getting none stop calls and requests to show. Landlord is happy with either but your credit is higher than the other. But if you guys aren't happy with the terms we can move on to them. Yo. What?! I did not "interrupt [his] day for a phone call." I LITERALLY told him twice it could wait until Monday. And the second time I did (trying to accommodate HIS schedules, not mine), he burst into a bullying tirade that made it clear he was not interested in hearing what I had to say. Here's another direct quote when we had questions about the extreme move-in costs for a $3500 apartment. "So instead of you writing a check to the landlord for 11,500 and then her having to cut me a check for my commission, we conveniently pass the hassle on to you as the tenant." COOL!!! Amazing that he would say in his response to me that he represents that landlord not the tenants. He represents the landlord but he makes sure the tenants are the ones that pay him. GREAT STUFF, TODD! I stand by my review. Todd was needlessly aggressive when we had innocent questions. I would rather continue my apartment search then sign a legally binding contract that this guy had anything to do with. Oh, and Todd's snippy comment about his job being to "weed out weak candidates," why did you offer it to us? We walked away, not you. We both have credit scores in the 800s. Yeah, we're terrible candidates. Finally, I have screengrabs of all these quotes.

Sold Property: 8557 Norwich Ave I cannot say enough great…read morethings about Sokrat Arzumanyan and his incredible team. Selling my home was not an easy road, but thanks to Sokrat, the outcome was better than I could have imagined--we sold the house OVER ASKING PRICE, despite several major hurdles. The property had a notice of default due to some missed mortgage payments, and I was under tremendous stress thinking foreclosure was inevitable. But Sokrat personally negotiated with the bank to temporarily stop the foreclosure process, giving us a real chance to recover and move forward. On top of that, the house had construction issues left behind by unprofessional contractors, making it a tough sell. But Sokrat didn't flinch. He stepped in with his vetted, trustworthy contractors, coordinated all the repairs, and had the house market-ready in no time. Everything was handled efficiently and professionally. From start to finish, Sokrat was not just my agent--he was a strategist, negotiator, project manager, and most importantly, someone I could trust during a very difficult time. I am deeply grateful to Sokrat and his team for their dedication, experience, and compassion. If you're looking to sell, especially under tough circumstances, do not look anywhere else. Sokrat gets the job done--and then some.

We were concerned that our condo will not sell because of the age of the building and appearance. Also, we were not sure if the condo will sell quickly because of other condos for sale and being that we purchased another house already.

Nick and Mike informed us of any update on the sale of our property in a timely manner. When we contacted them for any questions, they responded efficiently with the information we needed from them. We believe because of their experience, our property sold above asking price and closed in a timely manner. They used their expertise from pricing, negotiating and closing escrow. They took the time to explain in detail their process and knowledge in the field from the time we met them when we were looking for an agent to the sale of the property.
