Just started looking and needed a realtor who would actually pick up their cell before 10am and after calling 5 in the Woodland Hills area, Nada not only picked up, but was able to send me half a dozen specs for us to drive by as we were going house hunting in 20 minutes. Truly saved our day productivity wise. That's true service and professionalism. Now to find the one!!! Thanks Nada read more

"I know a guy who knows a guy", I only thought it was a well written movie script. Little did I know it was so true and useful in my real life, especially the purchase of my 1st home. Glad Nada starts doing some online marketing, so more people will have a chance to get help from her excellent service and expertise in the real estate market. Searching for a listing is not hard, you can do it yourself. But getting a loan and dealing with the seller (especially a difficult one I had) was absolutely beyond my ability, but Nada handled it very well. Not only did she got me a loan that I couldn't get from national banks, she also went to open houses with me. Nada thoroughly review the repair history of the home we bid on. She found out some major leaking from upstairs neighbor being covered up by the seller. After many back and forth, repairs and tests, everything were fixed up eventually, and I just have to credit Nada for her experience and effort in the process. After closing, she follow up with us and making sure no more problem with our new home. read more

Fifth Avenue Realty - Nada helped me buy my 1st home - Mortgage Brokers Near Me - Calabasas, California

I recently purchased my first home and couldn't imagine having done it without the help of Nada at Fifth Avenue. My friends who've been through this process before were multiple times shocked when I mentioned all the things our realtor did for us. She took the time to meet with us before beginning our search and helped us have realistic expectations and goals. During our search she was patient, honest and incredibly fast to respond. During negotiations she provided copious amounts of information and support so we could make the best decision. (We ended up getting the house we wanted for what we wanted to pay and in less than 2 months. Luck may have had a little to do with it but we wouldn't have had the opportunities without her). It was great that she was also able to help with our loan paperwork -by that time I'd become so comfortable with her that she made the process of borrowing hundreds of thousands of dollars seem not so scary. i've heard such horror stories about the process of buying a home and I have to say, my experience was NOTHING like those - really quite stress-free and exciting thanks to Nada! read more

After several months of frustration trying to find and be successful in a bid for our first home with a previously 'referred' realtor, my fiancée and I decided to go with another 'referred' realtor....Nada from Fifth Avenue Realty. Right from our first conversation, we felt she was informative, knowledgeable, knew how the real estate business ran and knew how to react in different markets. We immediately felt reinvigorated after our previous realtor and she started our home search with great accuracy as to what we wanted. She was always on top of scheduling home viewings and was equally insightful in enabling us to realistically finance a home when we thought we only had a few options. For us, that was the crucial part that Nada played in our successful home purchase, especially in the current market that does not favor first time home buyers. She was able to give us honest, objective points about each home and not once did we feel rushed into making that purchase. And when we were ready to make an offer, she prepared the offer quickly, accurately and enabled us with the flexibility of electronic signatures. She worked very diligently with the sellers' agent to ensure we were in with a chance. And our successful offer came only after a handful of showings, which we attribute to Nada's ability to visualize what type of home we wanted and her great skills with working with the sellers and their agent to get our offer noticed. And because she is an "all in one" realtor, she was able to broker our loan, with a fantastic and selfless rate for us to ensure we were completely satisfied with her service. This process literally saved us a lot of money in our loan, which was all due to her knowledge and experience in the real estate business. She was able to close for us in great time and navigated with great profession through the tricky issues associated with escrow. We are so thankful we have switched from our initial realtor to Nada. She has earned our respect as a realtor, and has our friendship through her own personality. Although we don't intend on moving soon, we will definitely use her next time and whenever we have chance, we will refer her and I know no one will be disappointed. Quite simply, she made this stressful process as simple and easy as imaginable. Thank You Nada! read more

We found Nada through several recommendations from close friends who had only great things to say about Nada. It's hard to be brief when we are so thankful and grateful that Nada made it happen and got us into our new home, which we are very happy with. It was a big challenge to buy a home during the pandemic, but Nada's professionalism eased our nerves. Nada was patient with us and always laid out our options and we never felt rushed to settle for a lesser home, on the contrary she delivered a home for us that we did not think we would qualify for. My wife and I were blown away with Nada's knowledge and expertise; and how she would go above and beyond to protect our interests and deliver favorable terms. We are so happy with Nada; her service was epic, her response time was always fast, she always provided us the information we needed to know, her conduct professional, her patience was great, truly an Agent and Broker that cares about her clients. Thanks Nada !! read more

I called in with a handful of questions as my husband and I are starting our search for a home. Nada spent over 20 min going through some quick projections and offered honest insight into what we might qualify for... Hopefully we will work with her and I'll share a glowing review further down the line! read more

Nada Lahoud is the best agent that we have used as a real estate broker and loan officer. She is knowledgeable about real estate transactions and she will always walk us through every single step and detail throughout the process which may be overwhelmed by first time home-owner like me. She is always on top of everything and ensure all documentation are complete so that there will be no hold back on loan being funded. She is also very helpful in assisting us whenever we need. She helped us organize all relevant departments such as appraiser, escrow office, city inspector, etc. so that escrow can be closed in a timely manner. We bought a home in Monterey Park as a short-sale. Without her dedication and efficiency, we would not be able to close the deal. Our whole family appreciate all the hard work she put in getting us the first home. read more

We started working with Nada a few years ago as she helped us refinance our first home. We were so pleased with her responsiveness, diligence, and knowledge as a real estate professional that we contacted her again to help us find a new home for our growing family. Nada was absolutely instrumental in finding us our dream home. She was a true partner every step of the way, was extremely detail oriented, and managed the entire purchase process from beginning to end. Nada was equally instrumental in finding the right lender to finance a complicated purchase. I will continue to use Nada in any future real estate transaction. read more

I found Fifth Avenue Realty while searching for an agent and broker who is HUD home approved. I left a voicemail for Nada at Fifth Avenue on Sunday morning and she returned my call within minutes. We met a couple of hours later. Nada was so professional and everything she shared with us during our first meeting gave me an immediate sense that we had found a realtor who genuinely cares about helping the home buyer find a home that meets their needs. The agents we were working prior to meeting Nada had told us that they pass on HUD Homes and were not willing to help us. They also had told us that we would not find a descent home given our budget and the state of the market and that we should settle for a townhome or condo. Nada gave us a different perspective. She was positive that she could find a home for us.. A little bit after a month we had closed our transaction with very favorable terms. It was not a HUD home, it was a straight sale transaction. What I liked the most about Nada is that she provides the best customer service. She replied to our questions quickly and went above and beyond to make sure we were informed. To me, her greatest strengths are that she is very knowledgeable in real estate and mortgage banking, and that she is a go getter. I am absolutely happy to have found her and I feel very happy with the home we purchased. I highly recommend Fifth Avenue Realty because you will find a company that is operated by an honest, professional, and competent real estate agent. Thank you very much Nada for your help. read more

I recently purchased a home and used Nada Lahoud as my agent. She is absolutely amazing and was very patient with me as a first time buyer. From when I first reached out to her to when I actually closed, the process took about 7 months. Never did I feel pressured or rushed. She really took the time to make sure that I was comfortable with all my decisions and thoroughly helped me understand every aspect of the home buying process. I have recommended her to a few friends and they are all very pleased with her service as well. I will definitely use her again in the future. read more

My fiance and I recently refinanced with Nada Lahoud at Fifth Avenue Realty. She is absolutely the best and made the experience so easy and pleasant. We just bought our home last year and I was very hesitant about refinancing because of the horrible experience we had with our broker. Working with Nada reassured me that the experience did not have to be so difficult and stressful. I'm so thankful that we went with Nada and we will never use anyone else! read more

We have used Nada on three transactions now. She always responds in a very timely manner. I am very grateful for the time she spent to do extra research for us. She is efficient, professional and hard working. Definitely will recommend her to anyone. read more

One million stars are not enough for Nada Lahoud at Fifth Avenue Reality! To say she went above and beyond is an understatement to the extreme. My husband and I were led to her through the stellar reviews on yelp and they did not disappoint! At Nada's suggestion we purchased in an excellent neighborhood of Woodland Hills not even on our radar. It is she who sent the MLS listing of the home we purchased. The first home we looked at! She knew what would be perfect for us before we did and that to me is the true sign of a professional. She kept us at the low end of our budget while finding us a home that truly surpassed our expectations! We also did our financing through Nada which was breeze as well. Her knowledge of both areas are just one of the things that set her apart for other agents. Now that we are settled she has remained in contact and is always available to us for advice and guidance while we navigate this new chapter in our lives. Thank you Nada for making this often difficult and stressful experience a pure joy! we appreciate you more then words could say... read more

I'm a first-time home buyer, so I needed a lot of hand-holding throughout the home buying process. Nada was very patient, attentive, personable, and professional. She really understands and knows the ins and outs of the realty business and is very responsive on emails, texts, and phone calls. Even on the weekends! I highly recommend her services. read more

My agent, Nada, was great and I felt she was genuinely looking out for my best interest instead of only being concerned with earning a commission. Working with Nada was quite a learning experience, she was very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. After a few meetings I had realized that I could not quite afford the home that I wanted and decided to wait a little bit longer. My experience with Fifth Avenue has been so positive they have undoubtedly earned a client for life. read more

Looking for a house to buy is not that easy. Yes. It has some fun involved, but it can get a bit stressful as soon as you start putting in your offers. You also have to do a bit of homework before you start looking for a house, but having the right real estate agent is the key to getting where you want to be. We were working with 2 real estate agents from Rodeo Realty. They were friendly, professional, and to the point. (But.. when you are looking to purchase a home, you want to know the steps that take you "to the point".) You want all your questions to be answered clearly without any rush. You want your real estate agent to help you find the right home for you, and not the best deal for him/her....and so we had to switch real estate agents....Good Bye RR and HELLO Nada from Fifth Avenue Realty! Nada - The One-Man-Show! Professional, Ethical, Caring..... She will take you by the hand through every step of the way. She will keep you well informed on EVERYTHING! You will remember my words when you meet her and start the process to your next big accomplishment! Thanks Nada! read more

Nada helped me out for FREE checking a property I was interested in renting to make sure there where no issues. She went out of her way and on a Saturday night sent me the info I needed thanks Nada and I will definitely be contacting you for my future real estate needs read more

I cannot sing Nada's praises enough. I recently refinanced my home for the first time. Nada walked me through the process step by step. She answered my numerous emails promptly, thoroughly, and knowledgeably. Nada crossed every "T" and dotted every "I" aong the way, which made the refinance process that much easier. I have two investment properties that I may be refinancing in the near future and already know that when that time comes I will only work with Nada. read more

We used Fifth Avenue Realty for the purchase of our Encino home. While the home we eventually purchased was in Encino, our agent, Nada, was knowledgeable about and showed us homes in Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Tarzana, and Woodland Hills. She was always available for us, was proactive about showing us houses (even ones that were not on the market yet), and was extremely helpful through the entire process. Once we settled on the home in Encino, Nada walked us through every step of the purchase process, facilitated inspections, and helped us with our loan. A few months ago she contacted us about lower loan rates and ended up refinancing us from 4.375% to 3.875% with all refinance costs covered. Nada was not only helpful during the purchasing process but was proactive in informing us of lower interest rates after we purchased our home, and refinanced us to greatly reduce our borrowing costs. Needless to say, we were thrilled with the service and attention to detail and will be using Nada for all our real estate needs. read more

I was so lucky to meet and work with Nada. I met her at an open house where she was representing the seller. When I inquired her about the property, she answered all of my many questions in detail and provided much insight and solid advice, not to steer me in any way but to help me form my own perspective. I ended up realizing that it wasn't the right home for me and decided to hire Nada to find me a home to buy. Nada is truly amazing. Her positive qualities are too many to list, but let me try: strong negotiator, always does her homework on properties, detailed, organized, extremely hardworking and responsive, ethical, willing to look at as many properties you would like and submit as many reasonable offers as you would like, super intelligent, knowledgable of neighborhoods, patient, accommodating, great personality, encourages questions and feedback. I felt that Nada and I were always on the same, GREAT team. Nada had my best interest at all times. It was very assuring and enjoyable to work with her, and I highly recommend Nada. read more
