Raymon had a good knowledge of the current housing market trend, so he was able to give us good advice and recommendations on how best to sell our home. He listened to our concerns and did what was necessary. The whole process of putting our home on the market to the selling of our home went smoothly and quickly. We were pleased that there was a good amount of foot traffic through our home and that it was sold in a month's time. Raymon handled all the negotiations well. There were no major glitches in the whole process, except for one, and that was the transfer of the escrow money to the right account for us to purchase our new home. But that was probably created by the other company, so Raymon helped us to fix that. Other than that, we were pleased with Raymon's help and would recommend him as the go to real estate agent. read more

Ray was an absolute pleasure to work with! I was a novice home buyer and seller and Ray helped me navigate everything very easily. Ray is also super professional and organized and we never had any trouble dealing with everything that got thrown at us. Despite the fact we were dealing with a tough market and hard sell I never felt stressed due to the process and that's 100% thanks to Ray. His experience and flexibility made me feel like I had a grasp of what was going on and what options I had available. I had a great buying and selling experience with him and even though the sale was difficult I wouldn't have preferred anyone else to handle it then Ray. read more

My wife and I would be totally lost in the new house purchasing process. It is very complex and ambiguous even though all steps were described in the prints provided by Builder (Tri Pointe in my case). From beginning to the very end it was a very technically and emotionally complex process for us. We purchased houses before, but not new construction. From the very beginning, the bidding on the house process: If I would not have Raymong on my side, I would not have got my house. More than 200 people were bidding that specific morning hour, 9am for two last open lots in the very desired neighborhood. He navigated us from wording of the offer, email check, and follow up calls with the builder. Ray provides us with full support by explaining multiple pages of purchasing agreement, and piles of other accompanying documents needed to be signed for closure. Financing part was one of the most emotionally stressful phases in our purchasing, especially when we switched lenders at the very last moment. Ray supported us with confidence and deep expertise in multiple cases when underwriters seemed incompetent and illogical. After the closure, Ray has provided me with a complete checklist with the items we should look up for and was very responsive to answering all my questions even though it technically was not his job. I would highly recommend Raymond and Christine Ayroso to work with. You will 100% close the purchase of your desired house, reduce stress, and feel secure through the whole process. read more

We've known Raymon for quit sometime and we knew he would be the best option and the right person for us with our new condo purchase. When we contacted him, he listened very carefully to find out what exactly we want and what are our goals and ambitions. Based on our quarteira, he directed us to the right direction to focus on the right area. He was very detailed oriented and met us all the time to show us the best options in the area. He was very helpful, patient and accommodating toward our requests. Although it took us few weeks to find our favorite condo but he never pressured or pushed us to finalize our decision. He was very supportive along the way and even he made many constructive suggestions before even we ask or make any wrong move. We were very lucky to have him around with this transaction and stood by us all the way to the end. We can't thank him enough for his help and support. We are very happy that we chose him as our realtor and we'll work with him with any other future real state purchase. If you want a reliable and personal realtor, he is the one. We are certain you'll be extremely happy and satisfied with your choice. Thanks so much for all your help and support, Raymon. read more

Christine & Raymon Ayroso - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Danville, California

Raymon's style of working is non-invasive, accommodating of client needs, and very organized. He made the house hunting and buying process efficient and productive by working with me and understanding what I was looking for. It was literally like having a friend in the realty business. I appreciated his knowledge on all matters around the home, as well as financial tips. I was able to go to him with questions, all and sundry, and he would get me an answer in a timely manner. Most important of all, he was patient through out the process and let me take my time where possible. I would highly recommend Raymon to anyone looking for a peaceful home-buying experience!!! read more

Raymon was wonderful from the start to finish of our house purchase. This turned into a fairly challenging transaction due to COVID-19 and we couldn't have closed without his help. Raymon's expertise, level of communication and advocacy for us was incredible. We were lucky to have him on our side during the entire process and highly recommend him. read more

Highly recommended! Raymon has helped us find our first home, sold that for top dollar, then find our second home, again sold for more than double our purchase price and then helped us buy our (hopefully) forever home on the other side of california. He has also helped us get a good rate when we refinanced! Would not go anywhere else if we ever would need real estate help. read more

Buying a house is in itself stressful, what more with the pandemic! We're very pleased that we found Raymon Ayroso of Arcadia Global Realty as our realtor (referred by a good friend). As a start, he tried to get to know us, what our family is looking for, and of course our budget. He knows the craft, and is very honest. Based on our specifications (needs and wants) and budget, he advised us what is or isn't feasible/realistic. That brought us down to "reality" and made it easier to streamline our search. And each time we looked at houses, we would convene at the end of the day to discuss. After visiting a few houses, Raymon knew our family well enough that he would already know if it's a go or no go. Raymon is very knowledgeable and is great at explaining everything that a homebuyer should know. He makes himself available, and with our many questions to make sure that we understand the process, Raymon was very patient - he mostly had the answers, and honestly told us when he needed to research/confirm some items. He also guided us through the numerous required paper work, and even prepared a post-transaction note/list to guide us after we got the house! Raymon and our mortgage loan consultant Arthur Santos of First Capital Group made a great team, and were with us in each and every step of our house journey. A very happy and satisfied client here! read more

Being first time home buyers, as is anyone's guess, we were looking for help in every possible aspect of the home buying experience. Be it from helping us figure out what we wanted our search to be narrowed down to, to sticking to it, Raymon made sure he was there with us all along the way! From the very beginning he was very thorough in giving us every possible information we would need to make decisions that would otherwise have been overwhelming for us. Many a times we would find ourselves having received answers or possible solutions from him even before we asked him those questions. That to us, is a true mark of a professional who has been in the industry long enough and knows exactly what their client needs or might need to know down the lane. One of the most important things that worked in our favor is having Raymon as our Lender as well. We had a very unique financial situation that wasn't the easiest to work through when it came to the homes we were looking to buy. Raymon worked through our financials at every step of the way. Even when we were at the edge of our seats trying to figure out whether or not the deal would pan out, we had Raymon's experience both as our agent and sometimes more importantly as our Lender, since he made sure to always work in our best interest. Today we have the dream house we call our home, and we couldn't have ever done it without him. Thank you Raymon, for being such a wonderful agent, and more than that, to work with such detailed attention with your clients that we couldn't have gotten elsewhere. We would totally recommend to anyone looking for an agent out there, and especially if you are wondering if you would ever find anyone who would work with you with the warmth and dedication that you hope for, Raymon is the one to go with! read more

Selling my home was no cake walk. Being an older property, the house needed major repairs. Utilizing his years of experience, Raymon was able to negotiate an acceptable compromise to the satisfaction of the buyers while keeping my repair costs to the minimum. From start to finish, I'm only too glad that I was dealing with a true professional. read more

Raymon was referred to us by his wife we met while searching for homes. We often receive calls from realtors that offer their assistance however, we could not find exactly what we wanted- someone who is strong, trustworthy, reliable, and someone who is very familiar with the market. That is Raymon. Our first encounter was a simple phone call. Raymon explained the process, timeline, and answered all questions we had before even putting the property on the market. In the past, we've had these calls with other realtors but did not proceed on really selling the property. After speaking with Raymon, we had so much confidence and motivation to finally move out and list the house on the market. We had the drive to finally move on as Raymon promised he will be alongside with us to accomplish our goals (move out of our small home and get a bigger home). Our first meeting, we were very thankful that Raymon was eager to come over to our home and meet with us personally. We often don't encounter other realtors in the past that establish that personal connection right away. Raymon came on time, prepared for the meeting, and was extremely detailed and precise in explaining all documents we were signing. He was even explaining paragraph per paragraph on those documents! I find that a very good trait. I work in the banking industry/loans and being confident, taking time with your clients in explaining information on the documents you are signing shows that the agent is really trustworthy and knowledgeable. We moved out of the home in May of 2019. Raymon's team came to our home to help us move our stuff and properly staged our home for the photoshoot. We were IMPRESSED!! The team did such an amazing job and we were so happy of how the photos and staging came out! Our property was finally listed on the market. Raymon did his open houses, constantly updated us on how many parties came in, and prospects he'd follow through with. Take note that this was our first property we had bought so this is our first sale! An offer came in and Raymon advised us on how to handle the offer but never pushed us to accept what was offered. We've had a couple negotiations but being that we are hard headed, we refused the offer. Raymon still kept strong and held open houses until we finally received a second offer which we accepted. I think the lesson learned here is that you should really trust your realtor and take a step back to listen for his/her recommendations. This is the one thing we found in Raymon that sets him apart from the other realtors interviewed (TRUST). Now, on to the next chapter to find a new home for our family! Raymon, thank you so much for genuinely helping us, you've really made a huge impact on our goals and we can't believe it's happening!! If you don't get with Raymon, you are missing out BIG TIME! read more

We worked with Raymon for our home search in Danville. He was so focused, attentive, and responsive and even was willing to spend his Memorial Day weekend taking us on home tours. He has a good sense of the market and was great at explaining the process to us first time home buyers. Highly recommend! read more

Deciding to buy a house in San Francisco, especially at a time when prices were incredibly high seemed really daunting. As a first time home buyer, I needed someone who was approachable, always on top of things, honest, and experienced with the housing market. Raymon Ayroso of Arcadia Global Realty embodied all of these things. He does exceptional work, constantly checking in on me, and guiding me throughout the entire process. He thought ahead, showing me both newly constructed homes and resale homes to expand my options, always keeping my family's requirements in mind. Raymon has a good eye, and always gave his honest assessment of the property being shown. Raymon exhibited incredible patience and dedication as he answered my father's calls despite the time difference between California and Manila. He definitely went above and beyond expectations to make us feel comfortable with the entire purchasing process. We ultimately decided to buy a new property. Once we were ready to make an offer, Raymon was proactive in moving the process along. His attention to detail is amazing and he worked with the developer to make sure the sale process fit our timeline to avoid any conflicts or issues. To top it all off, he was able to negotiate with the property developer and save my family $6,500. We are really satisfied with the property we bought and would highly recommend Raymon to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. read more

Raymon helped us find our dream home. He is very efficient in setting up routes so you almost feel like all the houses are magically arranged in the most time-saving way. We appreciated his input on various features of the different properties we saw and his negotiation skills proved valuable. In him we found a reliable ally to help us with our search for our next home and, even though it was during the weird Covid-19 hot market bubble, we managed to navigate our way under his guidance. Thank you, Raymon! read more

Being first time home buyers in US we were so glad we had Raymon to advise us on every small detail. He is quick to act and gets things done fast. We were able to find our home-sweet home in a week. His property appraisal experience is very helpful. He is very systematic and easy to talk to. Again, we greatly appreciate your dedication and advice, Raymon. read more

I do thank God that I could meet Christine and Raymond!! A month ago, I purchased the house on Mountain View and we love love our house. When we decided to buy the house, we didn't have any idea what we need or what we have to consider about buying house. We even didn't sure about which area we could afford and what was our financial status. Literally we started to look for the house with 0% knowledge. I started to find the right realtor. I met 4 different realtor, but I felt something chased, hurried and forced by them. Sorry for these realtor, we were pretty slow and "picky" customer. For us, we need some time to look up the things specially like this big purchase. And I met Christine and Raymond. They educated us, shared their knowledge to make sure we understood correctly and helping us to find our dream house. They respected our needs and the way how we approached the issue. Plus, they never treat us like "customers". They treat us like their own family. They tried their best to find the best option and best house for us. Not just selling house in short term and move to another customer. They do their best to find right house for you. Sincere and reliable to us, but once they needed to "work", they were quick, responsible and aggressive to make the deal. The house what we got now, I thought we could never have it. - 8 offers - and we were not even highest offer(5th on the list)! But she made it! Buying a house is not easy and once you buy it, it is too late to regret. Christine and Raymond will help you to find your best house. That happened to me. Whenever we need to upgrade our house(hopefully ;) ), I have my life time realtor, Christine and Raymond. Thank you for their all hard working!! read more

Raymon and Christine helped me buy my first home in San Jose. I had a short list of things that were important to me, and they helped me to find a house that checked all of the boxes and was within my budget. Six months later, I am very happy in my new house. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for their first home. They did an excellent job of holding my hand through the whole process, but I was always the one in control. Early on, we would visit 10 or 15 properties in a row, in part to familiarize me with what was available in my price range, in part so that there were ample chances for them to point out things to look for (or avoid), and in part to get my feedback on the what would work for me and what would not. It was overwhelming at first, but in the end it meant that I was confident that I was making a good decision on the house that I eventually decided to purchase. They offered their informed opinions, but there was never any pressure to move forward or not on a given property. They work together seamlessly. Both of them took me around to see properties, and both were involved in drafting offers and in the negotiation process once I was in contract. Any time that I spoke to either of them, it was clear that they were both completely up to speed on what I was looking for and, when I was in contract, with the details of the house and the negotiation. I saw the fact that there are two of them as a huge benefit, because it meant that there were two experienced minds thinking about my search and helping me out. I would highly recommend them, especially for first-time buyers like me. read more

I would highly recommend Raymon as a realtor. As a first time home buyer, I expected that the process of purchasing a property will be overwhelming, difficult and stressful. But with Raymon as your realtor, he will guide you from the beginning to the end of the process, and even after that! Raymon listens to what you truly look for in a home and will try his best to find the right home for you. He is honest and immediately tells you what is or isn't feasible/realistic based on your wants and/or needs. Raymon is very knowledgeable and is great at explaining everything that a homebuyer should know, most especially the numerous paper work that you have to go through. He is also always available and willing to answer all of your questions. Overall, I had an exceptional experience with Raymon and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in search for their dream/next home. read more

He recently assisted my family and I in the process of purchasing our new home and we are very satisfied with his work. Raymon cares about his clients and will take the time to sit down with you to ensure you understand every step in the process. He was very honest and straightforward with us regarding what was realistic for our situation, which kept the house hunt on track. He made sure to keep our desires in mind and addressed all of our concerns. In addition to that, he even offered tips and guidance on painting some of the rooms in our new place, as this was the first time we would be doing that. He was extremely helpful and I would highly recommend Raymon to anyone who is looking for their future home. read more

We have already used Christine and Raymon's help in finding our first home few years back, we had such a great experience throughout the process. So when we were ready for an upgrade last year, without a blink we contacted Raymon regarding our plans. As always we got excellent support from Raymon in the entire process, starting from looking at houses and presenting offers, all the way until signing. Raymon is very detail oriented and has always gone above and beyond in explaining to us about every bit of information that a home buyer should know. Even after signing, Raymon follows up to make sure how we are doing and if there is anything else he could help us with. I would recommend Raymon to anyone who is looking to buy a new house in the bay area. read more

I have now purchased two homes working with Raymon and Christine. The first time was a few years back when it was a buyer's market and the second time more recently in a seller's market. Both times I've been impressed with how they really understood my needs and preferences, how they kept that in focus during our search and I'm really happy with both purchases. Raymon is a great negotiator. I've seen how he thinks and strategizes and appreciate how he guided me through our negotiations - what to ask and what not to, when to ask, when to push and when to let go. It was not just the same old "let's send in your highest offer"- he adopts the negotiation strategy with the market and seller's situation. My negotiation experience for my first purchase was completely different from this last one, but both resulted in my getting the home I wanted. Raymon was also great at resolving problems. He was able to quickly assess the situation and present me with options, and was really resourceful in coming up with solutions. One issue that came up for me was a potentially large flood insurance bill due to some recent change in the law. Raymon was able to pull off a minor miracle and quickly get me an old elevation survey from the city that we used to significantly lower the insurance premium - more than a thousand dollars per year! Lastly, while Raymon has deep and extensive knowledge of the real estate market, he is also very knowledgeable on the finance and tax aspects. He was able to answer all sorts of questions and scenarios I threw at him. And it was great to be able to have discussions with a Realtor who also takes into account the financial and potential tax aspect of things. I would highly recommend Raymon and Christine to my friends, family and colleagues for any of their real estate needs, and have done so already. Every real estate transaction involves negotiations, and problems do inevitably arise. I know most agents claim they can do a good job, but I've worked with other agents before and they did not deliver. The problem is that by the time you find out, it may be too late. read more

I was introduced to Raymon and Christine through a friend who recently purchased a home in San Ramon, CA. Though this was not my first home purchase, they helped me find and navigate my estate purchase greatly. I am a veteran utilizing VA financing option which can be a tedious process but closed within 6 weeks with a plenty of time left (actually closing today!). BOTTOM LINE: I cannot recommend Raymon and Christine highly enough and here is why; Raymon and Christine were patient, highly knowledgeable about the area as they lived in the area for many years themselves, the ins-and-outs of buying homes, and was incredibly flexible and accommodating in scheduling viewings. This is my 5th home purchase and I went through about 8 different agents in my life buying and selling and I was completely dependent on Raymon and Christine for their expertise and was simply spoiled by their quality of service. FYI, I never depended on my real estate agents in the past nor was exposed to the type of service I received from them. I felt like I was buying a home with one of my family members who was going to live with me -- So I checked out perhaps a dozen+ properties in several different cities in East Bay of San Francisco lasting several hour long treks sometimes and they were terrific about this. They were well prepared, provided instant feedback of the properties and patient with my changing my mind about offers. I never had a real agent convinced me not to buy a certain property and Raymon and Christine were not afraid to do just that. They have great expertise and insights of the market, contracts, ability to monitor my lender to stay on top of finance side of transaction, help set realistic expectations throughout the process, and basically guided me through every step of the way. It is no secret that going through the home-buying process which can be frustrating and overwhelming, but I felt tremendously grateful for their guidance. They were professional and responded quickly whether by email or text regardless of time and day. Also important to me was the fact that they put absolutely no pressure on me and provided information in an even-handed, non-judgmental, manner, and was unfazed by several course-changes in what I was looking for. For a couple of weeks, I decided not to purchase and they were very caring and supportive rather than being upset over the time and effort lost in the process. I am happy to say that I was back in the market and I simply engaged Raymon and Christine again. I can't imagine having a more positive experience and recommend them without reservation to anyone looking to buy in this stressful market. Raymon and Christine do not advertise their service a lot but their reputation and character travel via word of mouth which is very important to me. My friend couldn't say enough about this lovely couple and I now understand why as I plan to do the very same thing. I am thrilled and excited to settle into my new home with the help of my agents, Raymon and Christine, but furthermore, they became friends who will be placed on the top of my house warming party list. I am very glad to have met nice friends along the journey of buying a home. Thanks guys and I look forward to many years of friendship! read more

I knew Christine and Raymon long time ago when I was an intern in the Bay Area and I sublet a bedroom from them. They were the nicest landlord and we became friends since then. Years later, when I was looking to buy a home in San Francisco I naturally turned to them not only because I've known them personally, but also because I trust their professional knowledge, empathy to clients, and detail oriented and honest working ethics. I was all green in the home buying process and had limited knowledge about it. It was almost like a handheld experience, during which they provided guidance and detailed explanation for each step. They listened to my needs and preferences, and then hand picked several properties for tours to help me get some initial comparative analysis. And then after getting pre-approval letter, they further helped me tailor out more possible options for me to consider. There was a period of time I had to travel away for work, and during that time they still continued working with different banks to see if I can get better loan options to cover the properties I like. They provided me thorough analysis for the properties I was interested in, weighed the pros and cons and offered strategic suggestions when I was on fence making certain decisions and choices: from filtering down the interest list to the process of making an offer and dealing with counter offer. As a couple company, Christine and Raymon has their own unique strengths and together this duo can breakdown the home process into such organized and efficient tasks. My experience was so smooth thanks to their engagement. Sometimes I feel they put more efforts than me myself. Even after closing, Christine still continued helping me sort out some questions regarding to HOA and still checked in with me once in a while. Like some other reviewers have mentioned, they built customer relationship in a way that makes you feel comfortable and feels like shopping a home with a friend you can trust. I highly recommend them! read more

This was absolutely a very pleasant and smooth home buying transaction/experience with Raymon. He was very knowledgeable about all my questions and very responsive on both emails and text messages. He also gave me a lot of advices on other things regarding house making. I would definitely recommend him to all my friends and family. read more

Raymon is, by far, the finest realtor/broker we have worked with. We recently sold our home in the South Bay and concurrently bought a home in the East Bay. We had a different realtor represent us in the sale of our South Bay home, and Raymon represented us in the purchase of our East Bay home. The difference in the attention to detail, the quality of advice and the level of service between Raymon and the other realtor (who was supposedly the local South Bay expert) was striking - so much so that we regret Raymon didn't also represent us on the sale of our South Bay home. Raymon lives by his philosophy that his job begins when a client retains him; whereas, just about every other realtor we've worked with tends to lose motivation and attentiveness soon after getting our signature on the seller/buyer representation agreement. We were also impressed with Raymon's understanding of our goals, and his accessibility and responsiveness. Raymon had great recommendations for homes we should consider. We were always able to reach Raymon and, whether by text or otherwise, he responded quickly and kept us constantly updated. With the concurrent sale of our South Bay home and the purchase of our East Bay home, there were many moving parts. And, it was important for us to apply the sale proceeds from our South Bay home toward the purchase of our East Bay home. Fortunately, Raymon was able to adeptly coordinate and manage all aspects of our purchase transaction as well as being very helpful with our lender to ensure that our loan would fund on time. Raymon's negotiation skills shined when we were in a bidding war for the purchase of our East Bay home. Raymon was very practical and guided us to win the bid for qualitative reasons without it turning into a runaway quantitative bidding process. Raymon effectively communicated issues that arose in connection with inspections, repairs and contingencies, and provided practical, well-reasoned solutions. Thanks to Raymon, we were able to have smooth and well-coordinated closings on both the South Bay and East Bay properties. To reiterate, Raymon is one of the finest realtors/brokers out there - personable, intelligent, and very knowledgeable. He continuously looks out for his clients' best interests and is always thinking several steps ahead, advising his clients about, and preparing them for and crafting good and practical approaches to, upcoming issues. His finance background is very helpful for buyers who are seeking financing. As a service professional, I can't stress enough how rare it is to come across Raymon's level of commitment and service. We've had several friends ask us if we knew a good realtor, and needless to say, we have recommended Raymon with great confidence. Whenever we decide to buy or sell real estate again, we will look no further than to Raymon. read more

Raymon is a fantastic Realtor and one that we highly recommend! He has nothing but the client's interest in mind. He is knowledgeable, experienced and was always accessible throughout the entire process. This was not our first home purchase and have dealt with different Realtors in the past. We purchased our new home directly from the builder. Even though we had been through the process before, we knew having Raymon represent us would be a wise choice. Raymon helped us from submitting our bid, reviewing the contracts, design upgrades, final walk-thru and close of escrow. He even caught a mistake on the the "Estimate of Closing Costs" statement and took care of amending that for us. He cares about his clients and does his best to make sure all their questions are answered and problems are resolved. Thank you for the excellent service! read more

When we entered the real estate market as first-time home buyers, we were overwhelmed by the process and choices. Given the competition in bay area, we realized that we needed an excellent realtor to make our home owning dream a reality. Raymon was highly recommended by one of our friends and we are very happy about our decision to have had Raymon as our buying agent. Raymon was very professional and used to meticulously plan our schedule for house showing every week. He understood our requirements perfectly and helped us narrow down our house search to find the best fit based on our requirements. We found him really knowledgable and he gave us a lot of inputs about every house we looked at. Using his years of experience in real-estate, he could in a moment give us honest feedback about the condition of a house that we would have otherwise never noticed. Raymon always had our best interest in every step of the process and never tried to push us on any decision. He was really understanding and patient which we found very helpful in our decision making on this big purchase. He was a great support to us in every single step of the process, always available and reachable to clarify any questions that we had. Having Raymon by our side gave us immense confidence in reaching our home owning goal. In about a month we decided to make our first offer to a house which we really liked to own and thanks to Raymon's top class skills in navigating through competition, our first offer got accepted! Raymon was a very dedicated agent and even when he had to travel out of country on a different time zone, he seamlessly continued to work on our offer and negotiations and made our offer a success. Raymon was on top of various things that had to fall in place during the closing process till we got the home keys. We very highly recommend Raymon for real-estate agent and we will definitely use his services in future as well. read more

This was the second time we used Christine & Raymon for a real estate transaction. The moment we knew we were going to be selling our home, the one they helped us buy 3 years ago, we knew we would be going to them again. This time was different since we were selling and not buying since we were moving out of the area. Christine and Raymon made the whole process so easy and everything went better than we had ever hoped in terms how fast our home sold and well above asking price. They are truly the most professional, hard working, nicest people in the business and I would recommend them to anyone either buying, selling or both! read more

We are extremely happy working with both Raymon and Christine as our real estate agents. Over the course of our home search we got to work with both of them as they took turns to show us houses each week. We were first time home buyers and in our first meeting, Raymon helped us understand the home buying process. This was before we even agreed to hire him as our agent. Over the course of the next 4 weeks, he helped us see 50+ houses and either Raymon or Christine were present with us at each every one of them! At each home we discussed what our impressions of the house were and Raymon also highlighted things that might need fixing. On flipped houses he pointed out which he would mention which components and fixtures were truly good quality and which ones were just intended to be visually appealing. His expert observations skills were very useful for us in evaluating and sending in offers. Eventually we decided to purchase a home in new development that was move in ready. Even on a brand new home, Raymon noticed several fixes that were necessary (uneven floor tiles, missing window caulking, etc). He also provided some great advice on how to deal with the builder on a number of issues. We highly recommend Raymon and Christine to anyone who is in the market to buy or sell a home! read more

I strongly recommend the services of Raymon and Christine Ayroso. They are Realtors who REALLY look out for the best interests of their clients. I had considered doing a short-sale of my condominium and consulted with Raymon and Christine on how to go about it. After looking into my situation, my options and where the market was, they actually recommended that I do not proceed with the short-sale. They ran the numbers and recommended that I just hold on to the property and wait out the market. Frankly, I was flabbergasted since that would mean no income for them! Their analysis was correct though since the market value of my condo has risen to the point that my loan is covered. I also got the benefit of the mortgage and real-estate tax deductions while waiting for the value to rise--something they had pointed out to me. It is for this reason, I refer them to all who I know are buying or selling real estate. They are really trustworthy, knowledgeable, and most friendly as well! read more

Few months ago, when we started looking to purchase our first home, we were very apprehensive about the whole process. We were unsure on the area, type of house we wanted, and little knowhow to judge the quality of the house. We had a lot of questions and were unsure on the process. We needed an agent who was not just willing to show houses and put in a bid, but someone who we could depend on and trust to hold our hand till the end of process. Raymon came highly recommended to us by our friend. We signed on with him after he explained in detail how he worked and how he would guide us through the process. He used to take us on open house tours, often around 8 to 10 listings at a time, covering multiple areas. Before every open house tour, he prepared a listing package for us to study on the properties to get a feel for property. He was very professional and honest on his feedback, which really helped us understand what we were getting at a listing. He was always available to us to answer any question on a listing or procedure. He would also go over with us on the comps and disclosures on properties, we were interested in, often pointing out subtle items which we had missed or misunderstood. His communication skills are excellent and he has a very personable nature, which made it very easy for us to work with him. I would also say, he has a certain knack for reading between the lines, which can be the difference in negotiations during bid. He never overwhelmed us with information during closing and guided us on accordingly. He even followed up with us after we moved in. I have already recommended him to my friends and colleagues who are in the market. read more

Great team to work with. Throughly enjoyed our interactions and always felt to be in capable hands during the process. Most importantly I have no doubt we were able to maximize the return on our investment because of their expertise. Highly recommend Christine and Raymon. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Christine and Raymon. We are so happy to have found them, and grateful to now call them friends and neighbors. We would not hesitate to contact them in the future if we need assistance with real estate and we would highly recommend them to our friends and family. Numerous realtors offered their assistance during our search to relocate from El Cerrito to Danville, but it was Christine who made us feel that she truly cared about us finding our perfect home. She is very knowledgeable of the Bay Area real estate market and has great insight to the nuances of the local neighborhoods. Since we are first-time homebuyers, Christine provided us with a brochure, that she developed, introducing the process of buying a home. After reading positive reviews about Arcadia Global Realty online, we wanted to learn more. She invited us to meet her and Raymon at their office to discuss what we were looking for, what we can afford and what we can expect by working with them. Christine is very organized and punctual. When touring prospective properties, she always had a plan and timeline for the day. She never wasted any time with us, but never rushed us either. She pointed out the pros and cons of homes, while also educating us on what to look for. After all, we were making the most important purchase of our lives. Aside from getting excellent assistance from Christine as a realtor, you have the financial background and advice from Raymon. They are astute, sharp and savvy strategists as well. When it came time to making an offer on a property, they advised us on every possible angle and approach to get the best deal and have the best chance to get the home we want. The housing market is very competitive here in the Bay Area and you have to act fast and decisively. When it came to texting, phone calls, emailing and signing documents electronically, Christine was very prompt to respond. As stressful as the home buying experience can get, the Ayroso's diffused a large portion of it. They always informed us of all our options at every step and made the experience fun and enjoyable. Sometimes we miss going to open houses with them, touring the area, and just talking about life in the area and real estate. Needless to say, we are very happy and love our new home. We cannot thank Christine and Raymon enough for helping us find the home of our dreams. Arcadia Global Realty is the way to go! read more

"It was a great experience working with Raymon and Christine on the recent sale of my home. They made the experience effortless on my part. Christine really showed her creativity with the marketing materials and video that really showcased my home. Raymon was professional throughout the entire process, an amazing resource and was able to respond to all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. It is obvious that they have their client's best interests in mind. They are thoughtful, creative and understand the market well. I have no doubt that Raymon and Christine will always do their absolute best for their clients while treating the other side of the sale with respect." read more

I have dealt with 3 other real estate agents before, and I always felt like I was being pushed to just hurry up and buy something so that they can move on to the next deal. So it was such a pleasure to work with Raymon and Christine Ayroso. With them, I can feel their sincerity and wanting to help me make the right decision. They were always ready to share their expertise and to provide guidance and recommendation, but I always was in a position to make the final decision without undue pressure. Raymon was also very persistent and really worked hard until we found the right house at a price that I wanted to pay. He also provided creative suggestions on how to make our offer stand out in a very competitive market with multiple offers, and even went the extra mile to got the seller to take care of some issues with the house that he could have easily just let be. I highly recommend Raymon and Christine for anyone looking to for a team that is knowledgeable, experienced, and most important of all, a team you can trust. read more
