Great Castle Properties does it again! When we decided it was time for us to sell our condo and move into a single family home, we did not hesitate to call Great Castle Properties. This was our second time working with Will. He is not only a knowledgeable agent, but an honest friend. He is professional and easy to communicate with. He will get to know you deeply, and he cares more about his client's needs/future goals rather than simply the numbers. While bedroom and bathroom count are important, Will ensures that the homes you target are the right fit. This helped us lessen our focus on the emotional process of visualizing our life in a particular home and see that there were more opportunities and possibilities in the neighborhoods we targeted. We were also quite satisfied with Will's negotiating skills. He made sure to keep us updated every step of the way and allowed us to guide strategies that he would execute seamlessly. The escrow process felt streamlined. Will kept us on a strict timeline in order to close on time. His assistant, Andy, prepared most of the paperwork digitally and got us in contact with vendors such as insurers and repairmen. In the end, we were able to successfully purchase our first home that we plan to live in for years to come. On the selling side, Will has a fantastic marketing team that includes photography, social media, and staging. Honestly, the condo looked so much cooler in the listing than I remember actually living in it--and we loved living there! He held multiple open houses and private showings while we were out of town. Andy provided weekly marketing updates on how our home was performing online. The whole process was very smooth and pretty hands off from a seller's standpoint. We were able to secure multiple offers and ultimately accepted one in our target price range. In summary, we have no regrets hiring Great Castle Properties. Will and Andy were a pleasure to work with over the several months-long process of buying/selling our homes. We wholeheartedly recommend them and would easily work with them again in the future. read more

Will, Alex, and Andy from Great Castle Properties were INCREDIBLE to work with. I was in the market to purchase a condo, and the whole team guided me every step of the way. From walking open houses to the escrow process to negotiating the best deal for you - the team is unmatched. A special thank you to Alex and Will as these guys work overtime to ensure you have the most seamless experience on top of finding a property that fits your lifestyle and financial goals. Even after escrow was closed, Alex made sure that everything within the deal was completed as promised. That's the type of guidance you need in a large financial transaction. The value they bring to the table is unlike any other firm and will recommend them to any family/friends in search of or selling a property. Thank you, Great Castle Properties! read more

I used Andy and Great Castle Properties for my recent rental in an exclusive area of South Bay. At all times, communication was clear, prompt, and responsive. The setup of the Zillow listing included an excellent description and high-quality photos of the 2,000 sqft. home. The review of rental candidates and the evaluation of any property needs were both efficient and accurate, ensuring the property was fully ready. The recommendations provided were fair and in the best interest of both the new lessee and the owner. Throughout the process, we felt comfortable working with Andy and his team, who supported our goal of securing a long-term lease for our property. Even during a slower time of year, Great Castle Properties brought in qualified renters and made time to accommodate showings, including evenings and weekends. I highly recommend Andy, Will, and their team for your rental needs! read more

Buying a home can be stressful, but working with Marcy and Andy made the entire process feel easy and personal. From the very beginning, Marcy was patient, understanding, and truly cared about what was best for me -- not just about closing a deal. Marcy took the time to explain every step, kept me updated throughout escrow, and made sure I always felt comfortable with each decision. Her calm and caring approach really stood out, and it meant a lot to have someone who genuinely looked out for my best interests. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, we had a smooth closing and a great outcome. I can't recommend Marcy enough -- if you're looking for a realtor who treats you like family and goes above and beyond, she's the one! read more

Will and Andy from Great Castle Properties were an absolute dream team - professional, communicative, and incredibly efficient. They made selling our home effortless! Will and Andy were friendly, knowledgeable, and proactive from our very first meeting. Their smart pricing and marketing strategy drew huge interest, and we only needed one weekend of open house to get multiple strong offers. They expertly negotiated the best deal and we closed escrow within 10 days after accepting. Highly recommend for anyone looking to buy or sell a home! read more

Almost 10 years ago we bought our first home with the help of Will and his team. This year we bought our second and forever home with support and guidance from Will and Andy. They kept us in the loop non stop since this process can be stressful. I couldn't recommend anyone else but this team. read more

Avoid Working with Elliot - Unprofessional, Ineffective, and a Waste of Time If you're looking for a leasing agent who is responsive, communicative, and capable of handling even the most basic leasing discussions, Elliot is not your guy. Our experience with him was an exercise in frustration--his lack of experience, poor communication skills, and inability to provide clear answers made what should have been a straightforward rental process unnecessarily difficult. Non-Responsive & Unreachable - Elliot frequently ignored calls and messages, leaving us in the dark for extended periods. When he did respond, it was often with vague, open-ended statements that failed to address our questions. A simple "I'll let you know" or "I'll check" would be the last we'd hear from him for days. Inconsistent & Unclear Communication - At one point, he informed us that our application was between us and one other party, with a decision expected by Monday. Then suddenly, he shifted the goalposts, stating the owner wanted to wait for our home to close--something that was never mentioned before. When pressed for clarification on this arbitrary contingency, he failed to offer any logical explanation. Lack of Basic Leasing Knowledge - When we proposed standard solutions, such as paying upfront or adding a contingency clause (both common leasing practices), Elliot showed no understanding of how to facilitate these options. Instead, he deferred everything to the owner without offering any real assistance or problem-solving. Unprofessional & Disorganized - Rather than keeping the dialogue structured and transparent, he continuously left discussions open-ended, forcing us to follow up repeatedly just to get basic updates. Even after multiple attempts to clarify key points, he remained evasive, making it impossible to move forward with confidence. Clueless Approach to Showings - Elliot's idea of hosting an open house was laughable--a single 30-minute window, cramming everyone into a small house for a rushed showing. That was it. No flexibility, no additional opportunities, no real effort to make the property accessible to serious applicants. If Elliot is this inefficient at handling a basic lease, imagine how inept he would be at selling your home. Real estate transactions require someone who is sharp, proactive, and capable of guiding clients through the process--not someone who fumbles through even the simplest rental agreement. Avoid at all costs. There are plenty of qualified agents out there--Elliot is not one of them. read more

I worked with Elliot Phillips to buy a condo in Ontario, and it was a fantastic experience. He did so much work behind the scenes and was extremely responsive, which made the whole process easy and painless. We ended up closing on a condo and he was a great negotiator, getting us a price significantly below asking. He was extremely knowledgable about what to look for when going to open houses. Highly recommended. read more

Our first interaction with Will was very easy going. I came prepared with tons of questions and he knocked them out of the park! We knew right then how happy we would be working with him and his team at Great Castle to find our dream home. Junji, Will, and Andy really worked hard in helping us find various properties to choose from. Junji and I saw 13 places in 2 days and put bids on two places. Once we had an accepted offer all members from Great Castle worked diligently ensuring we met deadlines or were ahead to seemlessy buy our house. The team went above and beyond throughout the whole home buying process and even after as we settled in. We cannot thank this team enough for helping us find our house. We know who we will be working with in the future of selling or buying and have recommended them to all we know looking to buy or sell. read more

As first time home buyers, we had the pleasure of working with Will which successfully resulted in the purchase of our first home. Will was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, always having an all questions are good questions attitude. He even tolerated our ideas , theories, and strategies for how to get the best deal even though his years of experience meant he likely already knows how to get the best deal. He gave us space whenever we needed it. Will helped us navigate a tricky situation when a deal fell through but ended up bringing it back to us which resulted in our first purchase. Also, once we closed, he graciously provided references for contacts for remodeling. Will is the perfect agent for a first time buyer and would highly recommend his team! read more

I don't even know where to start! Marcy, Will and Andy really went above and beyond anything I ever expected when I started this process. As a first time home owner they really took their time to explain every part of the process as well as every form I received and as you all surely know there's a LOT of paperwork! I had been warned by friends that this would potentially be a very stressful process, to expect several hiccups and perhaps some heartbreak when a deal fell through. I experienced none of it! Within four or five weekend outings with Marcy I found my dream place! It checked off all the boxes of my wants and in a location I didn't think I would be able to afford. First offer I made and it was accepted! I got feedback from one of the listing agents during one of the open houses that Marcy was the most caring and polite agent they had ever dealt with, I was not surprised to hear this. I don't think saying I got the VIP treatment would be enough, I really got treated as a member of their family. Thanks for making my dream come true! read more

Having worked with Will and Angela on the purchase of our home and now the sale of our condo with Andy has just over and over again been the most pleasant experience. Their expertise and client relations are always on point, thoughtful and thorough which leaves little for us to worry about. The sale of our condo took one weekend showing and maybe two to three discussions. We got over asking and in with the right buyers. Without the guidance of Will and Andy we wouldn't have known which offer to go with. They did their due diligence and helped us understand each buyers ultimates goals which helped us accept the offer that made most sense for what we were looking for. We recommend them to all our friends and family and have had at least 2 people in our orbit successfully purchase their homes as well! They're the best! read more

Elliot was the best! This is my first home and I didn't feel pressured or biased to buy anything. I put him through the ringer during the lending process, but he remained patient & professional. I closed in August, but I still reach out to Elliot with follow up questions and he always responds (quickly too). Thanks again read more

My husband and I had the best experience buying our first home with Will Chiang and Andy Suh! They were helpful and knowledgeable of the current market, had a robust business ability, and were enthusiastic and respectful to customers. We bought the house under the asking price with additional cash credit for repairs! They always performed above and beyond their job description, walking us through every step of the way. Such a fast response to any questions regarding the home-buying process/escrow/etc. It was an absolute pleasure working with them! Exceptional customer service throughout the transaction makes our home-buying process so easy. They were easy to communicate with and patient with our questions. We highly recommend them! read more

My husband and I were first-time home buyers. We noticed Great Castle Properties' approach was very different from other realtor companies in the beginning stages. Marcy was our realtor, and she was the first realtor to see us as a family who needs a home for our children and our future. Before meeting her, we experienced other realtors who only saw us as buyers most of the time. Marcy took time to shape what we want, and she showed us so many houses without hesitation. She was the person who understood and personalized our needs. After all, she is our new friend, and we are very happy to get to know her and continue a happy friendship. Will is the CEO of this company, and he had tremendous support for us to buy the house. He took the time to give us information on market trends, deep knowledge of housing, and tips on financial advice. Even though he is very busy, he always answered quickly, called us back, and explained everything until we truly understood. Because of him, our knowledge level grew more and more during the home-buying process, and we could feel comfortable when we needed to make a final decision. His passion and knowledge of the housing industry is very impressive! Andy helped us with all documents and the escrow process. And because of him, it was a very smooth process. He was very clear to answer all our questions, and we did not feel too overwhelmed during the closing of the deal process. Overall, our experience with Great Castle Properties was great, and I highly recommend this company as your realtor. read more

Will Chiang and Andy Suh helped us sell our first home during a shaky market. I cannot thank these guys enough for going above and beyond to make the experience painless. They are professional, proactive, honest and treat you like family. We were expecting our second child and decided to make a move on a new purchase, but knew we had to sell our current home first in order to make the bigger purchase. Once we engaged Will, he did not hesitate to get the ball rolling. They took great care of every detail during the sell, guided us along the way with constant updates, and provided their honest recommendation to ensure we got the best offer and more. We ended up selling in a week and our final offer was higher than what was listed. Will is extremely knowledgeable, therefore any foreseen caveats that came up were already resolved. He was always a couple steps ahead to ensure that we had a buyer lined up, in case the first did not go through. The service did not stop once we sold our property. As I said earlier, they go above and beyond, and periodically check-in with the buyers to drop off any mail that still goes to our old place. Thank you for taking such great care of our family. read more

My husband and I had such an amazing experience with Will, Junji and the entire Great Castle team! Having worked with other realtors in the past, what really sets Will apart is that he has a PLAN. He is not just throwing your money at situations and hoping to get lucky. He constantly keeps you updated, presents you with options and gives solid advice on how to proceed. I KNOW we would not have been able to decide on the best home for us and actually get an accepted offer in this crazy market had it not been for Will and his incredible team. He taught us so much about what to look for, what questions to ask and how to really tap in to our own needs/wants in a home. He also encouraged us to step outside of our comfort zone and consider options we would have never thought of had he not presented them to us. Thanks so much Will & the entire Great Castle squad! Looking forward to working together on the next one! read more

Elliot Phillips is the man! Help me buy my house over a year ago and I still don't know how everything works but this guy continues to go out his way to help me with anything. I call or text or email and he gets back to me with the best energy to help me out . Great Castle Properties are great and their team is great as well great company great employees. read more

You need to tell your area specialist ELLIOT PHILLIPS #02040270 to STOP knocking on my door every month sometime 2-3x month. I told him I am not interested and he still comes to my house to bug me. He rings my doorbell AND knocks on my door...I have small kids taking naps and I don't need someone constantly harassing me every month!! read more

Working with Marcy was seamless and drama-free! She made us feel so comfortable with the whole process from beginning to end, and was on top of it. I would def recommend Marcy for any home buying/purchasing. Thank you, Marcy! read more

As first-time homebuyers, we knew it was necessary to have savvy and experienced real estate agents on our side to help guide us through the process of purchasing a home in this crazy and atypical housing market. Andy and Will were just that. They went above and beyond to help us find a place we could call home, whether it was helping us set realistic expectations, researching houses to tour, answering our calls/texts during all hours of the day/night, or providing expert feedback on crucial decisions. Andy was very personable and accommodating to our needs. He even put together a goodie bag filled with snacks and toys for our 3-year-old when he knew our little one would be joining us while house shopping. After 2 months of searching, we found a house where our offer was accepted, however, at the end of the day we decided for many reasons, that it just wasn't the home for us. We appreciate their help throughout this entire process, even if we didn't end up with a home just yet. What I admire about Andy is his fearlessness to fight for what you want and his dedication to you as his client. Our search for the perfect home is currently on pause, but we'd be happy to work with Andy and the Great Castle team again once we decide to continue. Highly recommend! read more

If I could, I'd give 100 stars! Three years ago, my husband (then fiancé) and I embarked on our journey as first-time homebuyers. They patiently answered all our questions and eased our concerns, guiding us through every step of purchasing our first home. Their expertise and support made our home buying experience truly exceptional! We cannot wait to work with Will and Marcy again to purchase a bigger home for our growing family. read more

We purchased, and four years later, sold our home with Will as our realtor. As another review stated Will "has a plan", a true statement. Will has a great approach to real estate that is balanced and pragmatic and provided us good counsel throughout both transactions. His right hand Andy was very accommodating and always willing to jump on our multitude of request! great experience! thank you. read more

Will and Andy took care of my parents and I from the first time I met them to the very end on closing day. We were worried about selling our house in this market, but they really made the process less stressful. My parents had a lot of questions and they took their time answering them. Overall, selling a house is never an easy process and having someone you trust really help make it much easier. Thank you so much Great Castle Properties! read more

This is the second home we have worked with Will C. and his team on at Great Castle Properties and could not be happier! We were planning to move our growing family from the Westside of L.A. to the South Bay, and Will was not only familiar with the area and housing market trends, but really sat down with us and listened to what our needs and wants are for this next property. His team was great at getting us into viewings quickly in a competitive market, and when we were ready to place a bid on a house gave sound advice on the home structure, lot, and how this factors into home pricing. When one of our bids was excepted and we were in the escrow process, Will C. and his team were excellent communicators on next steps and answered any questions we had. The escrow paperwork process was hassle-free, allowing for Will C. to focus on the desires for the location change and the property itself. We are so excited for the move and are grateful for Will C. and his team making what can be a stressful process a breeze. read more

I had the best experience buying my first home with Will and Andy. It was a huge benefit to tap into their knowledge of the current market, and they were always available to answer any questions (and I had plenty of those!) They took the time to walk me through each process step-by-step, helped immensely in negotiating for credits, explained paperwork and processes along the way, and always kept me appraised of any updates or changes as we worked through closing on the house. They're patient, work quickly, and efficiently and I would highly recommend them for all your real estate needs! read more

THE BEST REAL ESTATE TEAM. Almost a year after helping me find a great apartment, Will and Erina helped me find the PERFECT home in an impossible/super hot market. This is my second home, and GCP is the third real estate company I have worked with. They are by far the best. Will and Erina are seasoned professionals and great communicators. Will explained everything to me, and took the time to take every phone call and text. Erina was instrumental in organizing showings, getting pertinent information to me right away, and doing a whole host of other things. I can't overstate how much trust I have in both of them. In short, give Will and his team a call when you decide to start the home buying/selling process. It's a no-brainer. read more

Buying my first home was exciting but also felt frightening before I engaged Will! I had no idea what goes into a buying a home, and Will patiently walked me through every step of the process with care. He organized the steps in a digestible way, while shielding me from the stress and pressure of negotiations. If you want help guiding you through the process w a level head, care, and genuine commitment, go to Will!! You can count on him to... - Strategic negotiator: helped us win against two higher offers - Thoroughly answers all questions with care and patience - Puts client's happiness and comfort above everything else - Personally holds himself accountable to provide a positive experience - Offers guidance on short and long term financial goals - Provides full service support including help w doc review, insurance, loans, utility set up, HOA questions, escrow negotiations, contractor referrals, etc.... - Incredibly level headed I highly recommend Will for any purchase or sale!! I promise you won't be disappointed!! read more

Marcy, Andy and the rest of the GCP team are the BEST. Honestly, I really thought the home buying process would be a nightmare, dragged out and stressful. And it really might be with the wrong agents. This is why I am SO GLAD I chose to go with GCP and especially Marcy as our agent. Marcy made it SO easy, almost too easy! She listened to everything that we wanted and did not rush us through anything. If there was any house that we were interested in looking at, she was immediately there. She had gotten to know what our taste was and suggested wonderful homes. She not only pointed out all the great qualities of these houses but some of the things that may even concern us. She is definitely a pro, easy to talk to and never made you feel like you were asking dumb questions (I had a lot of those). GCP is lucky to have such amazing realtors. The behind the scenes folks at GCP are equally as amazing. Andy was constantly in touch with us and made so much of the paperwork a breeze. I would definitely recommend them to anyone if you are thinking of buying or selling. We are so in love with our dream home! read more

Marcy, our listing agent, and her team were extremely thorough from beginning to end. They allowed my wife and I to make confident (actually pretty easy) decisions by educating us with all the pros and cons scenarios as we went through the process of selling our first home. Result: record breaking sales price and an unbelievably smooth escrow. Our buyer was also ecstatic on how swift and clean the process went as first-time home buyer. We are now friends. Couldn't be a happier client. read more

My husband and I recently sold our first home and were referred to Will and his team at Great Castle Properties by family members who were beyond impressed with the care they received during their home buying process. We didn't know much about selling, but we were quickly put at ease and knew from day one that we were in good hands. Will was able to list our home quickly and the pictures and overall listing were polished and attention grabbing (it was so good we were almost tempted not to sell!). Even when we hit a few hiccups on our end, Will was patient and guided us through the process. And when our first buyer was unable to close, Will already had showings lined up with additional prospective buyers and we had two new solid offers within a few days. Thank you, Will and GCP! Your professionalism, patience, and genuine care went above and beyond our expectations and we're looking forward to working with you all again when we're ready to buy our next home. read more

If I were to say one word about Great Castle Properties it would be, AMAZING! From the beginning to end I was impressed by how diligent and knowledgeable Will, Erina, and the rest of the team were. Being a first time home buyer, I had my guard up and didn't know what I was expecting. I was working with two other realtors and was close to not working with Great Caste Properties. But, what sold me to work with GCP was the fact that they took initiative to contact me on what I was looking for in a home, answered ALL the questions I had and INFORMED me on what to look for when buying a home. The other two realtors seemed more like they wanted to make a sale. Will and his team had more of an interest on me being happy on what I was purchasing. That made the difference on me choosing GCP. Also, what impressed me was how little I had to do. They took the initiative and did all the leg work that they were able to do. If you are looking to sell or buy a home I honestly believe that Great Castle properties is a smart decision. They will give you all the information you need, do ALL THE LEG WORK" and insure that you are 100% comfortable on buying your home. I cant recommend them enough! Thank you so much Will and team GCP. P.S. If you are a Military Veteran like myself, they will be able to help you out with your VA Home loan. read more

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I am pretty convinced that some of these reviews are fake, since quite a few of them only have 2-3 reviews on their Yelp page. Moving to a new place is already a stressful process, but when you're dealing with unreliable, unresponsive property managers it adds on and makes this whole experience somewhat traumatizing. Long story short, I applied to one of the properties that they were managing and haven't gotten a denial or acceptance: in fact, I kept calling and tried my best to be proactive about it, but still haven't gotten any valid answers. (Jason and Matthew) stopped taking my calls, kept ignoring my messages, and truly showed me how unprofessional they are. If I didn't meet their "criteria", it would've been nice to get a polite denial, but no, they kept telling me that my application is still getting reviewed. They don't say that "transparency is key" for no reason, their behavior towards me was the definition of uncertainty. I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to be in my situation, when you have a few days to move and don't know where you're moving. Luckily, I had a few other options, otherwise I would've have been screwed. Yep, 16 days and not even a denial in my pocket. Please be cautious and avoid, if possible. they won't work with you.. read more

Process of selling my dad's house was fantastic. Elliot Phillips went above and beyond an agent's duties to help us out. My dad is not comfortable with the new computer applications and I tried my best to help. Elliot helped him with all the house selling paperwork. My dad got the price that we wanted and the entire process went smoothly. Couldn't have done it without Elliot's help. read more

Buying a house in the current market is typically a stressful process. Andy and the Great Castle Properties team was wonderful to work with. We were able to find our dream home with their advice and support through searching and closing process. He was accommodating, friendly and always available for our multiple questions. His professionalism, hard work ethics and honestly are very much appreciated and respected. I can't speak highly enough on Andy's dedication to finding the right home for us. Additionally working with Will and his experience in the industry give us exceptional advice and eased our concerns. These guys and their team definitely have a passion for what they do and you can tell they love their job and services they provide. Highly Recommend. read more

The whole team was great to work with. Marcy was extremely patient with working with my list of needs for the new house. She helped me through the whole process start to finish and was always there for me. She was a joy to work with and would highly recommend her. read more

Will and Erina did a great job of helping me find a new home during the great housing shortage of 2021. Will had been reaching out to get me to buy something for probably the previous year or 2 (should have probably listened to him then, but hindsight is 20/20), but it took a months long earthquake retrofit at my apartment during wfh and the kitchen flooding a few too many times for me to finally pull the trigger. They showed me a ton of houses and condos all across the city, and asked a ton of questions to helped me really key in on what I hadn't realized I wanted. Is the master bedroom big enough? Have you spent time in this neighborhood? Are you sure you want to maintain this yard? Wow look at those big cracks there is this important thing called a foundation have you heard of it? No really, a hill can be expensive please call our mutual friend who's literal job is knowing how expensive a hill is? Doesn't this feel too much like an apartment? If this is a bubble are you okay living here for 5-10 years or is it somewhere you can rent it out if you need to? It seems like everything you pick is walking distance to restaurants and parks with outdoor space so maybe we will only look at those now? You said you wanted a fixer but the offers you've had me submit indicate otherwise? Literally all of these will be nicer than your 1970's apartment are you really going to take the first one we look at because it has a washer/dryer? Do you understand that everything will be nicer than your 1970s apartment?! They answered my nonstop texts at all hours of the day, night, and weekend (sorry guys) and made sure that I saw everything available that was suitable and in my budget, as well as advising that some would most likely sell for significantly more than I could afford, but that we could definitely still go see them and bid on them, but just to not fall too in love. Will helped talk me out of a few that I really loved but probably would have regretted, either for the bidding war + giant HOA, or for the probably very expensive and hard maintenance/renovations that as a lifelong "call my landlord for help because I have no idea how to fix anything" would probably be too stressful for me. He also took the time to explain that the market for single family homes in the suburbs and condos in the city were significantly different and to not be confused by the news. Will talked me out of my panic that if I didn't buy immediately, I'd be priced out forever and encouraged me to wait for the right one. By the time I saw "the one," I had no hesitation, other than will someone else bid $200k higher, and waive all contingencies, and offer the sellers their first born child. Luckily, that didn't happen and Will was able to craft me a winning offer without sacrificing my unborn children. Will and Erina explained everything in lots of detail, as well as all the points where I could back out. During the quite long closing due to coordinating with the sellers simultaneously closing on their new home, I continued to check listings (and still do) and didn't (and haven't) found something that I like better that I could afford. I attribute this to all of their questions that really helped me figure out what I wanted. Will also helped me negotiate down and not mess up the timing on my loan approval and interest rate. Once closed, Will constantly checked in with more useful questions. Have you hired movers? Have you started packing? How many boxes did you buy? He brought me some of his leftover moving boxes due to my unsatisfactory answer to the above and insisted I take more of them than I thought I needed since I'd been in my apartment for 8 years (surprise he was right!) Erina helped me set up my new homeowners insurance and even gave me a list of contacts for how to set up the utilities and checked in to remind me to turn them on (maybe she did this in response to how slow I signed the docusigns, but it was super useful, because I wouldn't have had electric without her help!) I had mentioned during the final walk thru that I'd prefer the sellers to take their ring camera with them, and when they didn't, Will dropped by to remove the doorbell as well as drop off some tools that he thought would be useful since I didn't really have any, and explain how a doorbell works! All in all, I had a great home buying experience with Will and Erina and am very satisfied with the home that they found me! I'd recommend them to any first time home buyer because they really made it easy and even fun to find a new home! read more

Will and Andy helped my husband and I purchase our first home in Long Beach. As a first time home-buyer, I had many questions, and both were very responsive and informative in answering any little niggling question I had. As a team they were both very patient with us and incredibly response: they understand how to split tasks and communicate well with us, the sellers, inspectors, and each other. Will was especially helpful due to his knowledge and experience with the market and location: he helped us purchase a fully-remodeled house in a historic district for less than the seller's asking price--a house that my husband and I originally thought was out of our league. Andy was especially helpful with the more detail-oriented logistics of the process: what to schedule, what to sign, which emails needed priority, etc. Our whole process with them, from initial meeting with Will and Andy, to moving in our house, took only about 45 days--and these two made it feel like an easy process. I'd heard horror stories about dragged out loan processes, inspections, etc., but Will and Andy stream-lined the entire process for us. I am incredibly grateful to my friend for her recommendation for this team, and during such an uncertain market time, Will and Andy were a great team to get us through. I absolutely love my new home! Thank you again, to both of you! read more
