If you are selling or buying a house, you will be in the best hands with Chloe Cruz. She was my…read moresellers agent for my condo in Long Beach. When I was scoping out agents, she was by far the most helpful and informative of everyone. She conducted really detailed analysis of pricing and comps, gave some prudent tips on light staging of the home that frankly saved me alot of money and gave me an overview on market timing and list pricing that helped sell the unit quickly. I learned alot about the dynamics of the real estate market and how critical pricing and timing/speed is. It was much more than any other realtor I spoke with. During the sale, she truly went above and beyond with dressing up the unit herself, taking very professional-level photography (which drove significant interest) and even assisting personally with repairs due to me being remote from the property. I was impressed by her guidance and direction. She looks out for your best interest, which I needed because I didn't really know what to do. She held firm on the asking price and really vetted the offers before they came in. She's smart about pricing, so if I had to drop the price, it was the bare minimum. She is exceptionally responsive, so any question you asked was attended to immediately, which you need in a realtor who is coordinating across multiple people. In escrow, she was helpful with guiding the process and negotiating things with the seller. It was about as easy of a transaction like this could be. Because of all of these qualities, I highly recommend her for both buying a house and selling. She is not only attentive but knowledgeable and will give you smart advice. She is also such a nice and sweet person to work with. It was such a great experience. If you are thinking about buying or selling a home, call Chloe.

Chloe continues to impress with care after the sale. The buyer of my condo turned out to be quite…read morethe case. She has tried to request 25,000 dollars in updates for her decision to make the condo have a seperate water connection from the rest of the building. She didnt like not having water when the water had to be shut off for units below. Not my problem, the condo was built this way. It's a 4 story condo complex, it's not a townhome or a detached single family home. No defects. 100% buyers decision to replace her water system with a standalone system. Probably the only system of her kind in the condo of 400 units. Anyway, Chloe has been rock solid in communication and advice. I ultimately sent an attorney letter at the purchaser, and her harrassment has finally ceased. Should have done that sooner. Lesson learned. Thanks Chloe for the awesome care and communication.

As first-time buyers, we knew very little about the process, but Kim's knowledge and guidance kept us feeling confident and informed. Beyond her expertise, she is personable, detail-oriented, and truly cares about her clients. She helped us find our dream home quickly and kept us updated every step of the way. Kim came highly recommended by our friends, and she exceeded every expectation. We will absolutely work with her again for our next home and will be referring her to all our family and friends!

When we bought our first condo with another agent, Kim was the listing agent. We were so impressed with her then that my wife and I saved her info for when we would enter the home-buying process again. Fast forward 2 years later, and it was the time again. We reached out to Kim, and just from the questions she was asking us, we knew we were in good hands. From the process of putting our first home up for sale to backing out of an offer due to issues during inspection and then ultimately finding our dream home, Kim was amazing. She keeps you informed every step of the way, is always available for questions, and is a master negotiator during the entire process. She ensured we got the best offer possible on our old home and also helped us find our dream home that was beyond our expectations. She made one of the most stressful things in life feel much easier to handle, and this all being during the holiday season. For anyone looking to buy or sell your home, you won't find anyone better than Kim. Thank you again Kim and you're always welcome to have some lemons! Best, Conner and Valerie

Highly recommend her! You will be leaving a positive review too! Sold our Lakewood home within 20 days and 35k over asking! She knows her stuff! She made it all look so easy!

I wish I could give Beatrix and the Whipple Group 10 out of 5 stars. The entire team is…read moreexceptionally professional and deeply knowledgeable about the real estate market. Beatrix, in particular, was a lifesaver as we navigated the transition from our condo to our first home after our son was born. She helped us find the perfect house within the exact timeframe we needed, meeting every requirement we asked for. She then guided us through an extremely challenging condo market and ensured we were still able to maintain our home equity despite difficult selling conditions. Most importantly, throughout the entire process, Beatrix was a dedicated support and confidant. She made what could have been an overwhelming and stressful experience so much more manageable. We always felt truly heard, supported, and informed. She never missed a response, no matter the time, and was always available, even on nights and weekends. When I say she works overtime, it is truly an understatement. The videos Beatrix provided and her weekly market updates were incredibly helpful. She took the time to explain market trends and compare our property to others so we could make confident, well-informed decisions while both buying and selling. Beatrix will forever be our realtor, and we will absolutely continue to rely on her expertise through every future real estate transition. We recommend her wholeheartedly to friends and family for her professionalism, dedication, and genuine character. If you are looking for a realtor who will truly treat you like family, Beatrix and the Whipple Group are it. We can't imagine navigating the past year of buying our new home and selling our beloved condo with anyone else.

If you value professionalism, communication, and your time, I would strongly suggest working with someone else.

From start to finish, they were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely had our best interests at heart. They always took the time to listen to our concerns, answered our questions quickly, and made sure we felt informed every step of the way. Whenever we needed guidance, they offered thoughtful strategies without ever making us feel pressured. They were also incredibly understanding and respectful of what we wanted and how we wanted to approach each decision. Buying and selling at the same time is stressful, but Susy and Laine made the entire process feel so much more manageable. Their professionalism, dedication, and hard work truly went above and beyond, and we couldn't be more grateful for everything they did for us. If you're looking for real estate agents who are knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely care about their clients, we wholeheartedly recommend Susy Smith and Laine Warthan. We are so thankful we chose them and couldn't imagine going through this process with anyone else!

Candice is low pressure, she doesn't rush you or try to persuade you to do anything--she truly works for you. She is very busy but you would never know she has any other clients because she makes herself available when you want to look at properties and when she is with you she gives you 100% of her attention. She is very smart and very strategic. We felt confident relying on her expertise. For any houses you are interested in, she gets to know the selling agent and makes sure they know who she is and who her clients are. She finds out exactly what the seller is looking for and customizes every offer. We were able to buy a fixer-upper home that had 20 other offers on it--including cash offers--thanks to Candice. And after closing she continued to go above and beyond helping us find contractors to remodel so we could move in as soon as possible. She is a gem. If you are looking to buy locally she's your agent!

We never felt pressured in any way to make a purchase or bid beyond what we felt comfortable with (we bid on three different homes!). Candice was always very on point in the guidance she gave us. When we refused to waive the inspection contingency on this house, Candice advocated for us and (miraculously) found a way to help us get the inspections we needed for our peace of mind. Candice came out multiple times to the home to meet me as I met with various contractors for quotes on renovations prior to our closing. She kept our 3 year old entertained while we spoke with said contractors. Her dedication is next level. I assure you, you will not find anyone better. Candice is so kind and caring, it is no wonder she has nothing but 5 star reviews on Yelp. She is universally liked by everyone from her clients to inspectors to contractors to loan officers, because she is truly just such a wonderful person. Talking with her is like talking with family. She is patient and responsive. She answers texts and phone calls all day everyday; I have no idea how she keeps this up with all her clients, but she does. We cannot recommend Candice enough and are so grateful we had her on our side during this home buying process.

We have been burned by real estate agents in the past and she helped reassure us. We had to fly back to the east coast and she handled all of the post work (sorry again about the bricks!). She got us a great deal, handled everything we needed with us being across the country. We would work with her if we ever find ourselves in Long Beach again. Thank you to Oriana and Ronnie for everything!

We listed a long term rental with The Oriana Shea Group after an extended and difficult tenant eviction. The house was in dire shape. Oriana established a clear improvement plan and selling strategy at the onset. She then leveraged an extended team of top-notch professionals to complete all aspects of the project which included cleanup, painting, repairs, electrical, tile, wood floor refinishing, installing new appliances, etc. etc. When the repairs were done, Oriana and the team staged and marketed the home in spectacular fashion. It was a true transformation. We received multiple offers immediately and ultimately sold way above listing price. The Oriana Shea Group is solely responsible for enabling us to sell a difficult property at the best possible price. I cannot speak more highly of their work and professionalism. Truly, truly the best!

We first connected with Ramon in 2025 when we were considering selling our home. After several conversations, we realized we were not yet financially ready to move forward. Even though Ramon had already invested time and effort into helping us evaluate our options, he never made us feel pressured or guilty about our decision. He remained supportive and checked in periodically throughout the year without ever being pushy. A year later, when we were finally ready to sell, choosing Ramon and his team was an easy decision. From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly communicative and professional. They created a group chat with my husband and me, which made it easy to stay informed, ask questions, and receive updates throughout the process. Ramon and his team also did an excellent job coordinating showings. They ensured we had the ability to approve or decline requests based on our schedule and convenience, which gave us time to prepare and made the process much less stressful. When we eventually received an offer, due to our personal financial circumstances we were facing the possibility of bringing money to closing. (This situation was entirely unrelated to Ramon or his team and was simply the result of not having paid down enough of our mortgage) Ramon was generous enough to voluntarily reduce his commission, which helped us walk away from the sale with money in our pockets. That act alone speaks volumes about his character, integrity, and commitment to his clients. Ramon genuinely cares about the people he represents and consistently puts their best interests first. Despite a slower condo market in our area, he successfully got our property sold and guided us through every challenge with professionalism and compassion. We are incredibly grateful for all of the hard work, dedication, and support that Ramon and his team provided!
