"When we bought our first home, Janet went to bat for us every step of the way. As first-time…read morebuyers, we really appreciated how she personally walked us through the entire process with patience and care. She's so genuine that we became lifelong friends. We've seen her work with other clients too -- especially elderly sellers -- and she always fought to get them the best deal possible without ever taking advantage of anyone. Her honesty and heart are unmatched. We loved her so much that we've continued using her for every home sale and purchase since, even when it meant going outside her normal area. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our real estate needs."

My husband and I have bought 2 houses and sold 1 house with Janet over 20 years…read more Her professionalism, has been consistent since the day I met her at an open house in Downey in 2003. She knows her area, which is, wherever there's real estate to be bought and or sold . I loved how she was there early to the appointment or open house to meet the seller's agent. Janet's experience, knowledge and expertise is extremely valuable. If it wasn't for her vast knowledge of real estate- the law, construction and negotiating, I know we wouldn't be in the house we are in now. We closed in November 2025 in Lakewood. She had to understand how probate works and deal with 8 or more heirs listed on the property. This could've been a lengthy process and a messy one because of probate, heirs and the sellers wanting a quick escrow. She had the inspection, ALL heirs approval, negotiations completed within the three week period and the holidays going on. There were obstacles and a tight time frame, Janet was still able to get us closing costs, one year warranty and additional money for repairs. The seller's agent accepted our bid because of Janet and Harmon Homes respected reputation in the field. He turned down offers and other bids because of the trust and respect for her, from their initial meeting. We chose to use her recommended lender, who was available ANY time ANY day we had questions. We could've gone to our credit union, but each time we told the lender of the specials the credit union was offering, he "showed us " the small print. For the most part you had to use the credit unions services, realtor and insurance, etc. It helped out using the recommended lender when it came to a short escrow, he was able to immediately give Janet the requested documents when needed to expedite processing. It was honestly a painless process. We would ask Janet's opinion of each house we were interested in bidding on and she would point out the negative on items we didn't think of because we don't work in that field. It was not just the street the house was on but driving to and through the neighborhood, where is the house located in the neighborhood and what is it next to, how to tell if you need a new roof and if rotten wood was painted over or a wet spot was painted over. The best lesson was when there was an addition and she could tell if it was a quality job or if you'll have problems with it later, was it a step down or did they pour concrete to level the floor I would recommend working with Janet only if you want: Quality Honesty HARD WORKING Dedicated Committed No none sense Professionalism and a friend in the end. I forgot to mention in 2016 she sold my mother's home that had to go through probate, it was seamless. She and Harmon Homes are a well rounded agency. I highly recommend them the knowledge is of great value!

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!

We had a perfect experience buying our home with Candice. She's so personable. We worked with other…read moreagents in the past who were very pushy and made the process stressful. 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.

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!

I can't recommend Chris Livingston and the Livingston Group highly enough. Chris has now helped me…read morethrough three major transactions--buying my previous home, selling that same home, and purchasing my new condo--and he has been outstanding every step of the way. What really sets Chris apart is his judgment. When it came time to sell my home, he knew exactly how to price and position it. He understands the market, gives excellent advice, and knows when to push, when to be patient, and how to make the right decisions as things develop. I always felt that he was looking out for my best interests rather than simply trying to get a deal done. But what impresses me most about Chris is the level of personal attention he provides. He is incredibly responsive, dependable, and hands-on. He has been there to help with countless details, including things that most Realtors would probably consider well outside their job description. Even after the sale was completed, Chris continued to make himself available and help me with things related to the move and transition. Buying and selling a home can involve a lot of decisions and unexpected issues, and having someone you completely trust makes an enormous difference. Chris combines experience, market knowledge, great instincts, attention to detail, and genuine personal service. He doesn't disappear once the paperwork is signed--he stays involved and makes sure you're taken care of. After working with Chris as both a buyer and a seller, I wouldn't consider using anyone else. He is an exceptional Realtor and someone I recommend without hesitation.

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.
