From the moment we met, I knew Alex would have my back. Her communication, marketing, and proactive approach made the entire selling process seamless. Despite several challenges, she handled negotiations with skill and determination; the deal may not have gone through without her. Having bought and sold multiple properties and worked with many real estate agents over the years, I can honestly say Alex stands out as a true real estate advisor. I highly recommend her to anyone selling a home! read more

Didn't realize how complicated purchasing a home was, but we were very fortunate to have Alex as our agent!

Alessandra  worked tirelessly to sell our condo --  she was the only agent who successfully sold a unit in our complex in over a year!  There were several properties/agents going on and off the market--with price reductions, cancellations, and withdrawals--Alex got it done, and in the shortest time. Her marketing is next level too. Despite association assessments and a down condo market, she remained confident and kept assuring me it would sell, even when I had my doubts. Her professionalism, integrity, and persistence truly set her apart. A big thank you to Alex for her outstanding work--I highly recommend her to anyone looking to work with an amazing professional. read more

Alessandra is amazing at what she does. Buying and selling a home is a really stressful situation but she made it feel seamless. She is the most efficient, professional broker and handles everything from start to finish. She sold our home in one week while interest rates were rising and we were freaking out. She has a crew for anything that needs to be done and worked tirelessly for us. If you want to sell your home, trust me, use Alessandra.

I rarely write reviews, but Alessandra deserves 10s across the board. She is THE BEST!! She helped me buy a place quickly and get a great deal in the middle of a crazy year for real estate. 10/10 would recommend! Before choosing an agent, I talked to several agents that had been referred to me or found online. It was clear that Alessandra was the best. She asked the right questions, evaluated me as a buyer, and really listened to understand what I was looking for. I could tell she cares about her clients- and she really does! Working with her was smooth. We found a place we love and she was able to negotiate a great deal for us and close quickly. And let me tell you - she knows how to negotiate! I rarely see professionals who have her drive and determination. In fact, I wouldn't want to be on the other side because she can win any negotiation! Alessandra was great at walking us through the process and has all the right contacts to evaluate the home, close, and renovate. I would definitely work with her again! read more

I've worked with Alessandra now on two real estate transactions and I can tell you that it does not get better in the real estate world than working with her. She is a go-getter and a doer. And she delivers. She sold both of our properties for well above asking price and was always extremely responsive and reliable anytime we needed her. I know a lot of people go with the super big-name agents but all those guys do is pass you on to an underling which never happens with Alessandra. Just call her... you cannot go wrong read more

Alessandra helped us sell our first home. She was incredible. Extremely knowledgeable about our community, had the comps ready to go, organized a staging company and handyman to retouch and repair the property for sale, etc. She was available whenever we needed her, and helped make a stressful process quite manageable. As a Trust/Estates attorney I have had experience with many realtors throughout my career. Alessandra is in a class of her own. I recommend her unconditionally. read more

In the end, I got an investment property that exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to continue working with her. read more

When it came time for me to sell I knew I wanted to work with Alessandra. I remembered being incredibly impressed by her work at an open house in the neighborhood 3 years earlier, when I was buying my place. She's worked with a number of neighbors and has an impeccable reputation. She helped me with all the details of preparing the home for sale and totally transformed my home, while I was out of state for the whole process. She is extremely trustworthy, communicates excellently, is detail oriented, lovely to work with, and I appreciate her hard work and efficiency. If you want your home sold at the highest price and quickly she will get it done for you. I'm still amazed by what an incredible job she did.

I've worked twice with Alessandra Castrogiovanni. The first time, she helped me to purchase my home in Santa Monica. Six years later I hired her to help sell that home. Alessandra has been charming, smart, professional, diligent, and hard working. Finding my home in 2014 was hard because I was very particular. With her help we did inspections and contractor estimate on many homes, and we likely looked at 3 dozen places before I was satisfied enough to make an offer. Getting qualified contractors on short notice seems to be a specialty for Ms. Castrogiovanni. Each of these people was responsive and clearly felt that she was not only worthy of their priority business, but qualified and straightforward to work with. They showed her, and me, great courtesy in the work that they provided. Six years later, in the throes of COVD-19, I decided to sell. Of course, I asked Alessandra to manage the listing. My priority was to get the home on the market as fast as possible, before the home prices became unstable. Alessandra developed a plan for staging, for marketing strategy and for pricing. I simply delegated everything to her. The result was that we had an offer and a backup in under a week. When the fearful and first-time buyer asked for mold mitigation and other work, I counted on Alessandra to find the right contractors and to get the work done rapidly. With all of this, we managed to close a full week early. Need I say more? She is the best. read more

I've had the great fortune of working with Alessandra Castrogiovanni over the span of several years while selling multiple properties. She's a force of nature you'll be wise to have on your side, and surrounds herself with a support network - shout out to her Escrow team - you will appreciate at every twisty turn of your real estate transaction. On this last just completed close of escrow, Alessandra took care of everything all while I was out of state. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for excellent trustworthy representation. read more

I am so grateful for Alessandra, I normally do not write reviews, but she is so amazing. I have to praise all her efforts. I had 10% deposit in a seller's market (Feb 2022) with cash buyers competing for my home and yet thanks to her, I won against everyone. Her resilience and professionalism through out the process was incredible. You hear those horror stories about agents trying to mess you over. Alessandra stopped me from buying the wrong property and what didn't fit my lifestyle. If you really need a good agent, she is definitely "the one and only", as she goes above and beyond for her clients. I am so thankful to her, as now I am a proud home owner in one of the most affluent areas in Pasadena. Definitely she was god sent and my agent for life now. Kevina. read more

Alessandra is a top notch realtor and she was always focused on what we needed/requested. She was amazing throughout the whole process of selling our Marina Del Rey townhouse. Very knowledgeable and reliable. read more

Alessandra Castrogiovanni is an incredible RE Broker and the best person we have ever worked with. We watched her in action selling our neighbor's house in Santa Monica and I called him immediately and said "who is that incredible broker working wonders at your place and transforming it in two days? I need her number now!" He said Alex was "simply amazing". Two months later we met and the rest is history. Alex managed so many moving parts and found solutions for us and everyone involved! She brought a fantastic team to the table, handled every piece of the transaction with integrity, wit and perfect follow through. She hit an all time record sales price in our building (over asking) and was a fantastic partner. If I ever buy another property on the West Coast Alex will be my first call.

Alessandra is seriously on another level. Best real estate agent we've ever worked with. She has a superstar marketing plan --a digital campaign that was excellent and vast. She also helped with staging and prepping our home and put on a tremendous debut party that had an excellent turnout. She proved to be extremely trustworthy and we really felt our interests were top of mind for her throughout the entire process. Overall we couldn't recommend her more. You'll be in excellent hands throughout the entire process! read more

I met Alessandra at an open house she was hosting. Alessandra did a great job of presenting the property. Based on her efforts, it became evident to me that the house she was selling, and that I ended up purchasing, was among the most desirable within my search criteria. Alessandra works hard and is fully committed to making a deal and getting the escrow to closed. Towards that end, she helped me successfully craft a competitive offer and negotiate it with the sellers. In my case, I knew what I was looking for and Alessandra was a great help in closing. She also has a network of vendors that she was able to bring to the table and oversee to help address my needs and concerns. read more

Alessandra is the greatest! She project managed the entire process because we were out of state. She was responsible, detail oriented, and trustworthy - we felt assured that everything would go smoothly. Alessandra kept us up to date on the entire process and even went over to the unit at 11pm at night because one of our smoke alarms was going off and took care of everything. Her team of vendors and contractors were also reliable and did excellent work. She uses up to date marketing techniques with quality photos which helped us produce a sale that completely exceeded our expectations. I have only great things to say about Alessandra - if you are in need of a realtor in LA, pick her. You will not be disappointed! read more

Alessandra was simply phenomenal and beyond patient with us during our home search.

Lou G. Lou G. San Francisco, CA 0 friends 4 reviews Share review Embed review Write an update Edit review 5.0 star rating 4/16/2018 I am eager to review realtor Alessandra Castrogiovanni. (Alex) from the beginning of our relationship, she exuded knowledge and proficiency concerning the southern Californian real estate market. Alex expertly guided us thru the maze of comparing our home to similar properties, marketed our home using busy business media and also staged our home to look beautiful to prospective buyers, which numbered in the hundreds due to her efforts. In a short period of time our home sold way above our asking price because I believe, Alex created a home that sparkled and shined. I 100% endorse Alessandra Castrogiovanni as the realtor-of-choice in Southern California. read more

Alessandra is awesome! We beat out 28 offers due to her skillful negotiations and tenacity. She is trusted professional and now a friend. Our whole family will be using her for all of our real estate needs. Highly recommend! read more

If you are looking for an agent who will work hard for you in your house search or house sale, Alessandra Castrogiovanni is your agent! When I was searching for an agent to sell my house in Pasadena, a friend recommended I speak with and meet her. Although her territory is mostly west side of LA, Alessandra took the time to come out to my property, walk through the house and yard and provide her preliminary feedback. I was really amazed that she offered multiple suggestions of ways to move forward, including offering to find a local agent within her organization (Compass) who might have better knowledge of the Pasadena market. We opted to do this. Alessandra found us a very talented agent/home renovator who helped with a small renovation project as well as figuring out a proper pricing strategy. Throughout the entire process Alessandra, kept me updated with progress, helped to keep me on time with getting the paperwork completed, and helped with keeping us close to schedule all the way through the listing, showing and closing. Along the whole process, Alessandra was very communicative, providing additional insight and background to help us understand how to make the best decisions when questions came up along the way. This really helped us feel at ease with making those big decisions. For example, during the offer review, she walked us through a comparison of the different offers we received - which looked like better options and which had the higher probability of closing and why. In the end, Alessandra and the Compass team sold our house for $250k+ over asking. Couldn't be happier! Alessandra Castrogiovanni will push to get you what you need and want, and I would be happy to work with her again! read more

Alessandra was such an amazing find! She kept our deal together and made it happen. Without her we would not have been able to close. She is the most diligent, honest and responsible agent I've ever come across, not to mention such a pleasure to work with throughout the search. Finding a place is stressful enough, and she managed to make it such an easy process. She was always on top of every step of the way and communicated where things were, and followed up to make sure nothing fell through the cracks. She was able to reduce the price significantly and negotiated the best terms for us and made sure we were protected the entire time. She is extremely connected and has an all star team of contacts. Not only did she help through the buying process, she connected me with vendors to help start up the renovation process. She lined up estimates and made sure moving in would be the most seamless process possible. I give her my highest recommendation and if you're looking for an agent, you must choose her. She's honestly the best, and a wonderful agent and friend. read more

Alessandra Castrogiovanni is the best realtor in the world, she got us through the complex process of expertly marketing our home and selling it in a very short period of time, the price we received was way above the asking price. We knew nothing about pricing, selling and marketing, it was a comfort to deal with Allessandra. Thank you to Alessandra, Alex. read more
