I recently worked with Mia and Derek to purchase my first home and I can't thank them enough! As a…read morefirst time homebuyer, I had no idea what to expect and was completely unfamiliar with the process. Both of them were incredibly kind and helpful in guiding me through every step of the way. I worked more closely with Mia throughout the process and I truly credit her as the reason I was able to get my home at the deal I did. I think her personality is very personable and represented me well to the sellers leaving good impressions. Highly recommend

Derek Hirano was absolutely outstanding in helping us sell my late father's home. From beginning to…read moreend, he was incredibly meticulous, organized, and always one step ahead. Because we didn't live in the area, Derek went above and beyond in ways that most realtors never would. He made sure the house was always looked after. Selling a home that was a part of your childhood can be complicated, but Derek's knowledge and guidance made the entire process so much easier. He was dependable, highly communicative, and always available to answer questions or handle whatever came up. We always felt like our family's best interests were his priority. I can't say enough great things about Derek. If you're looking for a realtor who is professional, trustworthy, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile, I wholeheartedly recommend him. He exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did for our family.

I don't know where to start on this one. Jack is operating so far outside the realm of my…read moreexperience with other realtors that giving him five stars feels like an insult to the guy. It's just a fact that the low barrier to entry makes a lot of realtors a dime-a-dozen. This is especially true in hot areas where demand outpaces supply. It's the absolute truest in an area like South Bay (the one true South Bay; go home Silicon Valley, you're drunk), where houses get snatched up in an instant, and buyers are willing to do insane stuff to get their offers accepted. In markets like this, a lot of buyers may ask, "Why would I even need a realtor?" Let me tell you why: because the needle-in-a-haystack realtors like Jack Mangin make even the most chaotic and fast-paced market feel like a leisurely browse through a farmers market. I found Jack on Yelp, and he was the first realtor to call me back immediately. That never changed throughout our buying process. Jack is savvy in every respect, and truly listened to our priorities. He predicted issues and took proactive approaches to prevent those issues from becoming problems for us. He stayed positive and optimistic--even when I changed my mind a million times and couldn't decide what I cared about. Jack is thorough, personable, candid, smart, reliable, and works his butt off for his clients. We were dealing with a purchase from out-of-state, so our situation had all sorts of inconveniences he had to work around--flights, time differences, schedule coordinating. He did it all with a smile and never faltered in any part of the process. He kept things moving so that things stayed smooth--nothing was ever a rush on our end, and we were never kept waiting on anything. He still checks in with us even though we closed over three months ago. He's a solid 100, and I cannot recommend him enough. Jack is our buddy for life now!

She covered things we never would have thought to ask about (tax implications, negotiation nuances, you name it) and was available every time we needed her throughout the entire process. She has this natural way of communicating that never feels overly formal or salesy... just honest, helpful, and real. She helped us with everything from start to finish, hit the timelines we asked for on both transactions, and had a clear strategy at every step. She's continued to help us with installations and repairs at the new house well after the sale. We'll absolutely continue working with her and recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the South Bay!

I had a great home buying experience working with Alyssa. From the first time I reached out to her,…read moreshe was consistently helpful and had great communication. My partner and I were first time homebuyers and didn't know anything about the process. I met with Alyssa and she walked me through the basics in a way that I could easily understand. She got us set up with the Compass app so we could search for homes through the app and let her know ones we were interested in. For every home, she followed up with the seller's realtor to get the status of the home. She went with us to open houses or set up private showings. It's such a big purchase, and having someone knowledgeable about what to look out for was super helpful. She let us know pros and cons for the homes we looked at and it really helped us make a decision. Once we found a house we loved, she put in the offer and took charge from there, which I appreciated. She explained the steps in escrow and kept us updated along the way. We had to counter offer and her advice on was probably what got our offer accepted! Alyssa helped set up the home inspections, plus contractor inspections to get quotes for repairs. I didn't have any experience with this, so being able to rely on her and her trusted contacts was invaluable. The closing process was very smooth and we ended up with a great house. The whole Ito Orio group were great throughout the entire journey - always sending updates, getting signatures, communicating with all the parties, everything was seamless. They all made the process super easy and I'm especially thankful to have had Alyssa's guidance during the process.

My husband and I initially were looking on our own and were having such a difficult time due to the craziness of the housing market recently. Once we were connected with Scott, everything was less stressful and he was able to help us navigate the home-buying process from start to finish. My husband and I also are not originally from the South Bay area so having someone who grew up here and is familiar with the area was extremely helpful! Communication: Easy peasy! Scott was always easy to reach and promptly replied if any questions came up. Expertise: Scott was able to answer any questions that we came up with based on his knowledge and previous experience. He was able to clearly explain the process and paperwork to us non-real estate folk and provided us with insight throughout the entire process. Overall, we had a great experience working with Scott! He is so friendly, easy to work with, and gets the job done! We honestly do not know if we would be able to have purchased a home without his assistance. We highly recommend working with Scott!!! Thank you so much, Scott and the Ito Orio group!

I've…read moreworked with multiple real estate agents over the years, and Forrest genuinely stands out as one of the best I've worked with. From the beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and was incredibly patient throughout the process. He was always available, responsive, and honest with us, and we never felt pressured to make a decision just to get a deal done. It was clear that he cared about finding the right home for our family. Once we found our home, Forrest was on top of everything. He helped us navigate the offer, negotiations, inspections, escrow, and closing, and his communication throughout the entire process was excellent. There were plenty of moving pieces, but he kept everything moving and made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable. Forrest is a great real estate agent and, in my opinion, one of the best up-and-coming agents in Southern California. He works hard, knows the market, communicates well, and genuinely looks out for his clients. We're extremely happy with the home we ended up with and grateful to Forrest for helping us get there. If you're buying or selling a home in Southern California, I'd highly recommend giving Forrest a call. Five stars without hesitation.
