Going through this house buying process, my fiance and I said many times that we're both glad that…read moreKristine was our realtor. Kristine went above and beyond all of our expectations. As a couple that was a first time home buyer and a second time home buyer, we had many questions from our different perspectives. Kristine was cognizant of this and always answered swiftly and thoroughly. No question was too small and no follow up question was too much. We greatly appreciated how comfortable she made us in asking her anything and allowing us to be open about our wants/needs/concerns, individually and as a couple. When we were unsure of which home to choose, Kristine provided data that helped us make our decision. This included historical appreciation rates and community data. Her analytical skills fit our pragmatic nature as a couple. When we ran into lender and appraisal issues, Kristine was there to soothe our nerves, gave us options to move forward with, and updated us with new information as it became available. We were impressed by her negotiation skills, keen foresight, and professionalism. She worked closely with the selling agent and lender to get us through the last and stressful stages of the purchase and kept trying for concessions from the seller. We ended up getting a one month leaseback and seller credit to help with our closing costs! We had options to go with other realtors, including other college friends and even family members, but I don't think we would have gotten through this purchase with anyone else. From creating a shared to-do list for us to reference when tasks felt overwhelming to ensuring our home was move-in ready, Kristine went the extra mile to make us feel well taken care of throughout the process. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy!

After renting in LA for 7 years, we didn't think we would ever be able to buy, but our family was…read moregrowing and we needed more space than our little Chinatown 2 bedroom offered. What started as a chance encounter with Kristine to show us some 3 bedroom apartments, turned into the adventure of a lifetime. After Kristine had been recommended to us by a mutual acquaintance, we clicked immediately. She asked us why we didn't consider buying, and--because we had had some credit troubles earlier in our lives--we assured her we weren't great candidates. She asked us to just sit down with a lender she often worked with and just hear him out... so we did. We were upfront with everyone about our finances, especially because we were both freelancers and knew it would be tricky; but Kristine and her team were up to the challenge. After being approved for an FHA loan we started looking at houses in earnest, but Kristine had been working with us, essentially non-stop, ever since that first chance encounter. She believed in us. Buying a house is always a nerve-racking experience, but, in this market, it can be downright terrifying (and nauseating). We were told by many people that going into this market with an FHA was a Sisyphean task, but Kristine assured us that if the offer was right and the terms were right, we would be fine. I had also read so many horror stories on the internet about putting in offer after offer and pushy realtors and waiving all contingencies--all because it's a "seller's market". Because of Kristine's tenacity and bargaining tactics, we did not have to wave all contingencies and we were able to get our forever home after just our 4th offer. Kristine was our advocate, our guru, and our therapist all rolled into one. As I write this in front of the fireplace of my living room in my pre-war craftsman bungalow, I still can't believe it. But, I promise you, if I can do it, almost anyone can, especially with Kristine Chacon as their realtor. PS: she is now an official member of our family.

We ended up putting an offer on a house we saw and began working very closely with her right from the start. From start to finish, we felt like we were in very capable hands and extremely prepared about the next steps. She also made sure we understood each of the contingency periods and what our rights were, while reiterating throughout the process that her ultimate goal was for us to find a home that we loved. Overall, she was incredibly helpful throughout the process and helped us save thousands. Even after we were in our new home, she was helping us by sending us lists of vendors and recommendations for repairs. She even called many herself when we were quickly trying to have a fire pit issue resolved. She checked in with us on moving day, as well as a few days after to see if we needed anything. Buying a house can be a stressful experience but it was so comforting to have Anna by our side throughout the entire process. We would recommend her without hesitation.

I recently hired Lizzy Cleaning Service for a full cleaning of my 1 bed / 1 bath home, and the…read moreexperience exceeded my expectations in every way. Lizzy arrived promptly, accompanied by one diligent helper who worked in sync with her from start to finish. Together, they completed the entire job in just 2 hours, which was impressive given the thoroughness of their work. They started with a meticulous top-to-bottom approach, paying attention to details that often get overlooked by other services. The deep-clean covered every room: they scrubbed and disinfected the kitchen counters, appliances, sink, and floors; gave the bathroom a spa-like refresh with sparkling tiles, gleaming fixtures, and a spotless shower; and transformed the bedroom with dust-free surfaces and neatly made beds. They didn't rush any area, taking the time to reach corners and crevices that I've struggled to keep clean in the past. What stood out most was their commitment to reaching areas most cleaning services neglect. They paid careful attention to high-traffic spots and under-furniture spaces, and even tackled the baseboards, and behind large furniture--areas that have historically resisted prior cleanings. The result was a level of cleanliness I hadn't seen before in a standard service, giving the whole house a fresh, almost-new feel. The house left with a noticeably delightful scent--soft, clean, and welcoming without being overpowering. It felt like stepping into a pristine space every time I entered, which made the entire living environment more comfortable and inviting. Communication and professionalism were also top-tier. Lizzy and her helper were courteous, respectful of my belongings, and efficient about coordinating with me on what I needed most in this session. They asked clarifying questions when necessary and shall flexibility to adapt to any special request. Overall, I am extremely impressed and highly satisfied with the service. Lizzy Cleaning Service delivered a thorough, detail-oriented clean in a reasonable timeframe, leaving my home sparkling and smelling wonderful. I would not hesitate to hire them again and would gladly recommend Lizzy to friends, family, or anyone in need of a reliable, high-quality cleaning service.
