We started our home search without a real estate agent and went to so many open houses where agents were trying to earn our business. The minute we met Gia at an open house, we instantly knew we wanted her to represent us. There was just something about her warmth, kindness, and genuine personality that immediately made us feel comfortable and cared for. She was welcoming, informative, down to earth, and truly seemed to care about helping us find the right home for our family. Throughout the entire process, Gia was always there for us. She answered every question we had, kept us informed every step of the way, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel so much easier. She was incredibly communicative, patient, and supportive, and you could tell she genuinely wanted the best for us. She is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, and you can tell she truly knows all the ins and outs of real estate. That gave us so much trust and confidence in her throughout the entire process. Her knowledge of the Long Beach area was amazing, and honestly, we don't think we would have gotten the house we have without her guidance, dedication, and expertise. When we received the keys to our home, Gia also met our family, and they all absolutely loved her. She was so kind, welcoming, and genuine with every single one of us, which just meant so much during such a special moment for our family. We are beyond grateful that we chose Gia to represent us. Not only did we gain an incredible realtor, but someone we truly hope will be a lifelong friend. We absolutely love her and cannot recommend her enough. If you are looking for a real estate agent, do not hesitate to choose Gia! read more

Carly's true dedication, responsiveness, and enthusiasm to educate on best practices for successful home buying was so essential to closing on a dream home. With the way the market was (high interest rates, quick and competitive buyers creating a sellers advantage, and low inventory) as first home buyers, the odds were totally stacked against us. Carly took care of us when we were at risk of purchasing a condo with a non communicative HOA. They basically needed to fund structural repairs but had no game plan. Because of this, the bank wouldn't lend. Carly was fully supportive when I was devastated at the news. I totally loved the place and visited it often. After that, I became discouraged about home buying. 2 months later, after encouragement and hard work, we closed on a better floor plan with all the amenities we needed and then some. Not to mention the HOA communicates and the monthly dues are less ;). If you get a chance to work with Carly, you will be in really great hands. She is exceptional and makes this daunting task a lot of fun! read more

Gia Silva - INTI Realty - Getting keys to my new home :D - Real Estate Services Near Me - Long Beach, California

Kathy is hands down the best realtor I have ever worked with. She is extremely knowledgeable of all things related to real estate which helped me make the best choice. She was committed to helping me get the property that I wanted and always acted quickly with whatever I needed. Above all else, she is a heart-centered person which is important for me when making major decisions like buying a home. Thank you Kathy for all that you did! read more

TLDR: Kathy and her team at INTI Realty were simply AMAZING! 5 STARS! As first-time homebuyers, my partner and I spent the last 6 months looking for our dream home. After working with several other buyer agents and receiving several offer rejections, we felt so discouraged and hopeless! Finally, we decided to give it one more shot and that was when we reached out to Kathy - she was recommended by a friend who received help with their first home purchase just last year. Kathy was quick to reply to our inquiry and dedicated as much time as needed to go over our home-buying goals. We love promptness! Kathy was genuinely interested in learning more about who we are to help us find the perfect home. Surprisingly, this is rare nowadays considering how crazy the market has been and how time consuming this process can be. After a few days later, we found a new property we loved, entrusted Kathy, and submitted an offer along with her recommendations. At this point, time started flying by so fast! We OPENED ESCROW IN 4 DAYS! Once escrow opened, we had a very short timeline to close escrow (within 13 days) and Kathy was willing to roll up her sleeves to work with us and our lender. She kept us cool throughout the process, calmed our anxiety, and always promptly answered all of our questions. To expedite the process, Kathy also kept constant communication with the listing agent, our lender, and the escrow officer to ensure all parties stayed 1 step ahead of each other. It honestly felt like Kathy was pulling magic tricks left and right! The end result? WE CLOSED ESCROW WITHIN 12 BUSINESS DAYS! This is RECORD BREAKING! Thanks so much, Kathy, Gia, Erika and everyone involved! You all played a huge role in our first home buying process and we couldn't be happier with the result. If you're looking for an agent to represent you, I highly recommend Kathy and her team. Time to celebrate! read more

Gia Silva - INTI Realty - Our first home! Thank you, Kathy & team! - Real Estate Services Near Me - Long Beach, California

We worked with Kathy. It was a great experience. Her consistent and abundant communication was very helpful for our first purchase. The staff seemed engaged and excited to do their work. We'd shopped around with big, indifferent groups, as well as small, inefficient agents. These guys were a refreshing answer to our needs. read more

Gia is the most amazing person I have seen, she is confident, energetic, enthusiastic and professional. I sold two properties and, bought one with INTI Realty. What wonderful experience. Thank you Gia, thank you INTI Realty Team! read more

Kathy is a magician in her craft as a realtor. When we say she is bright, knowledgeable, kind, personable, VERY patient, and just a pleasure to work with it is honestly not an exaggeration. We were very fortunate to find her and Gia Silva of IntiRealty by chance through a podcast during the pandemic; (Livin' Latina, Episode 5; Women in Real Estate, October 8, 2020). As I write this review it's occurring to me that it's been EXACTLY 3 years since I listened to this podcast episode to the day my husband found our home and we visited the open house. I was drawn in by Gia's charisma, intelligence, and spicy energy and connected with Kathy immediately 3 years ago, wow - pure serendipity! When I say we were still trying to figure things out that is truly the understatement of the year; we had mountains of consumer and student loan debt didn't have a downpayment/emergency fund saved and wanted to simply inquire about what steps were needed to purchase a home as first-time home buyers. What we immediately loved about Kathy is that even though we did not have the money to start buying yet she took her time in guiding us through the process, the market, brought us in to the realty boutique to understand our needs, wants, negotiables, and non-negotiable. She listened to us and was empathetic, never pressing us or making us feel rushed to purchase. When the time came to put in an offer, she efficiently but gently guided us through the pre-approval process (we didn't have one at the start of our 21-day escrow, yikes!) by connecting us with the dream team - shout out to Jeff Wen - our lender- another VIP. Our escrow closed on time and Kathy was with us every step of the way- checking in and making sure everything went as planned and we were well. She was an amazing advocate for us and guided us through the very stressful bidding process. She and the team were so amazing that the seller's realtor, shout out to Josh Mendoza!, was so pleased to work with them- this made our process even more seamless. I'm full of such warm emotions as I conclude this review; thank you for all that you do Kathy- you have been a key ingredient in making our dreams come true. You NEED her on your team!!!! - the happy couple - forever clients Edwin and Karla Payes read more

Gia Silva - INTI Realty - Closing Escrow!!! Thank you Kathy and Inti Realty!!! - Real Estate Services Near Me - Long Beach, California

We first met Gia and James at an open house. They were very friendly and professional. Then time went by and we went to another open house were we met them again and they greeted us like if we been friends for a long time, this is what made us feel comfortable in selecting Gia as our realtor. We have been house hunting for a while and met many realtors along the way but Gia made us feel like family (and there is always food during the open house). The escrow process went very smooth. It did not feel like escrow was in full speed. I previously own a home where I had a stressful escrow process. But with Gia she took care of everything, she explained everything step by step. After completing escrow we still keep in touch. I definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. read more

See all

Kathy helped us with everything, including finding homes to view, making offers, and all the way through close of escrow. Her communication was top notch, her explanations of the real estate purchase process and the broader market were clear and verified by my other research. (It's my first home purchase so I was going nuts with the research!) I'll be EASILY recommending her and her staff to everyone I know. read more

Gia and her extraordinary team at Inti Realty are just amazing. Gia's energy, knowledge, passion for providing top-notch service is remarkable. She knows Long Beach inside and out and when looking to buy or sell in Long Beach and surrounding neighborhoods there is no one better than her. read more

We wake up each morning and our new reality still feels so unreal. For the last few years, our family has been searching for a home in a very specific (think block size) location in Long Beach. We dreamed big, we stuck to our dream, and the answer to that dream was Gia. We were preparing to move from a home we cherished for nearly 12 years but were outgrowing, and we knew that it would take the perfect home to convince us to actually move. So, we imagined the most ideal location and space possible for our family. Gia found it. Not only did she find it, she helped us every step of the way with EVERYTHING. Having looked at other homes, we never felt pressure if it did not feel right, and in fact, she was so attuned to what we were looking for, she secured us our dream home off-market. Nonetheless, the support did not stop there. As we moved to our forever home, the home of our dreams, Gia and her team did everything they could to highlight the special features of our previous home as we put it on the market - something that would have been a scary endeavor if not for Gia and her team. Above and beyond, she helped us to say goodbye to our very first home, the home we brought our babies home to, and the community we were embedded. As we said, "we'll see you soon" to our old community, Gia and her team helped us meet our neighbors in our new community and feel connected instantly. Just as I started this review, I have to say, it feels unreal - we cannot imagine having gone through this emotional, life-changing process without the love, compassion, and support of such an amazing team! Gia and her team have our highest recommendation - we are living our dream because of them! read more

I am a person who wants and like full control of everything I do, but this time around I fully trust Inti and let the professional do what they do best of the best of my interest! read more

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Gia & Jim in buying our first home. Not only was the process extremely easy but it was actually a fun adventure that we all embarked on. Gia & Jim are excellent listeners and the first meeting we had with them was like talking with old friends as they made us feel so comfortable and at ease about the process. They listened and asked us questions about our needs and what we were looking for. They weren't just going through the motions or checking off boxes - they were truly interested and eager to hear what was important to us in a home. As we moved through the buying process we were constantly kept up to date on the progress and status. They were genuinely excited for us as we moved closer to the sale closing. To be honest, before meeting with Gia & Jim we were a bit nervous about buying a home. Within 10 minutes of meeting them for the 1st time we knew they had our best interest at heart and were going to be our realtors. We honestly cannot say enough about how smooth and easy the home buying process was. We refer our friends and family to Gia & Jim because we know that they will be taken care of. We wouldn't want to have gone on that journey with anyone else. read more

Gia, Kathy, and the Inti team helped us sell our homes and purchase our gorgeous dream home in Long Beach Ca.

Gia and the team were always available to answer and questions that we had or needed more clarification on. The process is streamlined to be as easy as can be with this team.
