If you're buying a home in the 626 area, you want Claire on your side…read more We were first-time homebuyers looking for a place that balanced location, price, and layout. We ended up purchasing a new-build townhouse-style condo in El Monte, but the path to get there came with a lot of learning -- and Claire guided us through all of it. From the start, she made us feel like we were her top priority. She always responded quickly, even during late evenings, and she never made us feel like any question was too small or repetitive. She took the time to explain everything clearly and patiently, and often more than once -- which meant a lot to me as someone who tends to overthink and get anxious. What stood out most was how prepared and thoughtful Claire was. She would plan out private showings for us, scope out the homes ahead of time, and even drove us around in her SUV to tour multiple properties. During those drives, she shared so much insight from her years of experience -- everything from how to assess seller motivation to how to spot red flags during showings. It honestly felt like we were getting a crash course in home buying. She even brought printed comps for each property, helped us understand how much homes were worth, and was never pushy about any listing. One weekend, we toured a few homes together, and afterward, she took us to lunch before meeting again later that afternoon at an open house for one of the same properties. She wanted us to see how the listing agent engaged with other buyers and coached us on what to pay attention to. That level of care and hands-on support blew us away. Claire also helped us think through what kind of layout and features actually made sense for us. We looked at some older 1990s and even pre-1980s properties, and she helped us understand the renovation costs we might face -- especially as people who aren't really handy or into DIY. She helped us realize that newer, open layouts aligned more with how we live. Throughout it all, she asked the tough questions on our behalf (like termite damage or permitting issues), guided us through what to expect in terms of seller behavior, and made sure we never felt rushed or pressured. She even supported us when we walked away from a 2019 townhouse that started to turn into a bidding war -- we appreciated that she never pushed us into anything. Claire is incredibly sharp, grounded, kind, and professional. She made us feel seen, supported, and empowered the entire way through. We couldn't have asked for a better agent -- and we're so glad we had her by our side.

We have worked with Matt and his team at First and Final Real Estate for three real estate…read moretransactions (purchase, sale and renting out). On each occasion we have been extremely happy with the process and the results. For our first transaction with Matt, a purchase of a single family home in Valley Village, Matt handled everything regarding the offer and negotiation with the seller's agent. It was a very smooth process and resulted in us buying the house at a great price, better than we had expected. Matt then coordinated everything around the inspections and even attended each inspection himself, dedicating numerous hours to that process to ensure everything went well and nothing was missed. For the sale of our townhouse in Burbank, with a very cost efficient approach, Matt was able to secure us a great cash offer after just one showing of the townhouse. He then assisted us in a 14 day close requested by the buyer which was something we had never done before. Matt made sure this ran like clockwork in and around us being overseas for travel. Most recently, in August 2020, as we had to leave the country due to COVID, we called on Matt at Best and Final to help us rent our Valley Village place out. We had never rented out a house in the US before and as with our previous experiences with Best and Final, everything ran smoothly and resulted in Matt finding a great tenant, vetting them and locking in a great rental rate for us. We haven't had a single problem with the tenants or payment since, again testament to Matt's fine work as a realtor. I can't recommend Best and Final Real Estate highly enough.

My husband and I had the privilege of working with Liz to sell my mother-in-law's home after she…read morepassed away in August 2025. We first met Liz in September 2025, and from the very beginning, we were incredibly impressed. What immediately set her apart was her approach to pricing the home. Rather than relying solely on neighborhood comps like most agents, she used a sophisticated valuation system that factored in the home's condition, upgrades, and improvements over time. She walked us through how the software evaluated renovations such as kitchen and bathroom updates, roofing projects, and other investments by considering when the work was completed, what was spent, and the local return on investment. It was fascinating to see such a detailed and thoughtful approach to determining the home's true market value. During that first meeting, Liz also took the time to thoroughly explain the market conditions and discuss the best timing for listing the property to maximize its value. She confidently told us that once listed, the home would likely sell within three to four weeks. After months of preparing the house, which included cleaning out more than 50 years of memories and belongings, we finally listed the property in April 2026. Throughout the entire process, Liz provided exceptional guidance every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, patient, and never once pushy. She always presented us with information and options, allowing us to make informed decisions while trusting her expertise. That trust paid off. Just as she predicted, we received multiple offers and sold the home within three weeks! Liz exceeded every expectation we had. She made what could have been an overwhelming and emotional experience feel smooth, peaceful, and manageable during a very stressful and heartbreaking time for our family. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication are truly unmatched. Elizabeth Do is a gift, both in her work ethic and in her humanity. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Liz, you are truly the GOAT!

Best experience I have EVER had working with any real estate agent or Realtor!!…read more I've bought/sold two homes in the past working with at least 3 Realtors through the process and Liz and her team delivered the best experience BY FAR! My wife and I worked with Liz on the purchase of our new dream house in Orange County. From the start she was going above and beyond what we were expecting. We called rather suddenly when a property showed up on the market and scheduled to go see it with her. We weren't seriously looking before this. By the time we got to the property she and her team already had a good understanding of the history of the listing and were working comps real time to give us a clear understanding of what fair market value would be. Even adjusting it for what we were seeing in person at the property. We weren't certain if it was more of a buyer's market or a seller's market as it had been a seller's market for so long, but she explained the current conditions/trends of what she was seeing in the area and gave us EXCELLENT advice every step of the way. But she was also never pushy. She ultimately left it up to us to make the decision with the information she provided. We trusted her expertise and it absolutely paid off, literally. We got a deal on the property that we are very happy with. She offered great advice on everything from prices, timing, and even when to potentially walk away. Liz has a team of people that really seem to communicate as a team, not just a group of individuals working under the same company name. In passing conversations Liz talked about how she and her team work together, and it does seem like they get to share in each others expertise and experiences to develop a good understanding of the market. Liz also talked about what she does to train her team, and she seems like a great leader. No one looks left behind to fend for themselves, and it seems very structured so that everyone has support and training to deliver great customer service. Liz has a great reputation in the area which I think was a huge benefit in our case. The seller's Realtor already knew Liz and trusted her. We happened to meet the seller's Realtor, and even without Liz present, the seller's Realtor had nothing but great things to say about their interactions. Her expertise really does seem to be in demand as she seemed to be giving seminars or talks to audiences even outside of her team. Even with her busy schedule it never really impacted the scheduling of events at our home. She always still met us at the property for events like home inspections, walk throughs, and giving us the keys to the property. She always provided great communication and was very responsive whether it was through e-mail, calls or texts to help answer questions. I can be "particular" (picky) about some things and whenever I brought up a question or concern, no matter how small, she never dismissed it or tried to excuse it as something I didn't need to worry about. She took my concerns seriously and got them addressed. Out of everything, I think this is what I am most grateful for as it kept me comfortable working with her and I never felt like she was just trying to "close a deal", which was my preconceived notion of Realtors unfortunately. She really does seem to care for her clients and making sure they are happy. I would 100% work with Liz again!

His knowledge of the neighborhoods we cared about was unmatched. He understands the market, the streets, and the small details that matter when you're buying. Kevin was responsive and patient, and he answered every question with clear, practical advice. Kevin's experience showed during tours and in negotiations. Touring wasn't just seeing houses; he helped us weigh each home thoughtfully and pointed out things we would have missed. When the right home hit the market in the area we wanted with the features we hoped for, Kevin moved quickly and guided us through each step. We trusted his expertise, and it paid off.
