Jon coached me through a 1031 exchange that saw me leverage my equity to double my portfolio size. This was beyond my expectation and brought me tremendous value. I'd highly recommend Jon and team based on their deep understanding of the multifamily business.

Justin Miller helped me get into my first home, and then a second, then a third. I remember back…read morebefore I met him, I kept hitting roadblock after roadblock in trying to get into my first home -- I felt like I was getting led around on a wild goose chase... couldn't find the right house, couldn't find a lender willing to work with me, and very nearly ended up buying the wrong house in the wrong neighborhood. Then I met Justin, and he helped make all of the pieces fall into place. He got me into the right house in the right neighborhood with the right lender, then after we moved in, he hooked me up with a fantastic electrician and landscaper. This man's mental Rolodex is DEEP. Justin came through so much for us that we called upon him again for my 2nd and 3rd homes -- consistent excellence each and every time. I'm definitely planning on continuing to use Justin's services for any future RE transactions whether it's buys, sales, or property management. This man is a rockstar.

Richard is reliable, was constantly on the ball and available for us when we needed help or ran into emergencies with the house, and most of all kind. Our parents taught us to respect things we are given in this world and we tried very hard to maintain the townhouse we were living in. We are getting our full deposit back since we just moved out this month. Richard worked around our schedules and accommodated us whenever there was a problem. He gets things done in a speedy manner and follows up. If we ever plan to rent again we hope to have him back as our Property Manager because he made the whole process easy.

9/28/2025 This is the most unprofessional, rude, abusive…read moreagency by far! I received a text from Zillow that there will be a showing of an apartment I've kept an eye on for 3 weeks. The reason it took so long is because when I called regarding it the first time through the app, it prompted me to this agency and a rude woman called Bobby answered. She then asked me what I was doing at the address (apartment building) and rudely told me to leave immediately, because there were tenants still living there. Of course I turned and left, thinking it was a mix up. So today I was sure the apartment was ready for me to see. There was no one driving through the gate (the only entrance) and after sitting in my car for a while I tried calling through Zillow. It prompted me to an answering machine and I left a message that I could not get inside and what should I do? I eventually followed a car got inside the apartment. There was an open house and so I got a chance to see it inside with no furniture or tenants. There was a traffic of other people, couples who came to see the apartment. Satisfied, I left and started driving towards home. And this is when Bobby called me. She started accusing me of getting inside an apartment illegally. She kept asking me for names of people who let me in. And even though I told her there was an open house She continuously accused me of getting in illegally using abusive language. After I hung up on her several times, she gave my phone number to a man, a stranger who claimed that the apartment was his. He started shouting at me and didn't stop for me to find out what is going on. He used an abusive demeanor saying that if I don't give up the names of people who let me inside his apartment illegally, he was going to call the police. He then started repeating himself stating that he will give me in to the police. As I couldn't speak to him, I hung up on him a few times because he kept calling me dialing my number over and over again. I was shook up, speechless and kept asking him what exactly they were accusing me of? For illegally getting into my property, he said. But there was an open house and there were lots of people, I said. Why did you decide to single me out and accuse me of something I didn't do? He would not listen. So I hung up. After 7 phone calls to me from these people I called them insane. Came home so emotionally tired, angry and helpless that my blood pressure was spiking up. Seriously, don't ever call them.

I truly appreciate her service and her team was beyond amazing helping me close during a long NACA program buying process. The whole team was well organized, quick responses, and the provide all documents necessary in efficient timely manner.

Thank you to all who helped me close here in Los Angeles, CA. Thanks.

I'm writing this review to advise other wives and primary financial contributors to think carefully…read morebefore working with Bobbie Ochoa. Throughout our home-buying journey, her communication and professional boundaries were consistently exclusionary toward me. Here are the facts. Please read them and form your own opinion. Title: My then-fiancé and I told Bobbie multiple times that we were getting married soon. He submitted an offer on a home, which was accepted, and since we weren't yet married, he was initially the only name on the title. We married two weeks before closing. Rather than take the basic administrative step of updating the loan paperwork, Bobbie pressured me to sign a form stating I had "no interest in the property," simply to avoid a few days' delay. This raised serious alarm bells for us. When my spouse called our lender and the title company directly, they confirmed this wasn't a real obstacle and could be resolved immediately; making it clear Bobbie had pushed the easier path for her over the correct one for us. Closing day walkthrough: Bobbie, based in SoCal, flew up for the final walkthrough and key handoff, and had planned a celebratory dinner. My spouse works long hours and could only make the dinner. Bobbie insisted my spouse attend anyway and wanted to take photos of us at the house. I'm a private person and simply asked that any photos not be posted on social media, a reasonable boundary. After that, the tone shifted noticeably. On closing day, instead of engaging with me as co-owner and spouse, Bobbie conducted the entire walkthrough and handover conversation with my mother-in-law, speaking exclusively in Spanish, a language I don't speak. I was effectively shut out of the final conversation about my own home, and it left me feeling isolated and uncomfortable. Missed credit: When we submitted our offer, we explicitly requested a $5,000 credit for termite and leak repairs. Bobbie failed to include it in the paperwork. When we brought this to her attention with proof, she offered no apology and no accountability, simply saying she'd tell the sellers it was "a misunderstanding on our side." Not wanting to jeopardize the deal, we absorbed the cost ourselves rather than risk conflict. Throughout the search, she also repeatedly pushed us to overpay on asking prices. If you're a wife, co-buyer, or primary buyer, take this as a warning and consider another agent. You may be treated as an afterthought, your legal standing as a scheduling inconvenience, and you may be excluded from communications that directly affect your own property. Look elsewhere for representation that treats you as a full party to the transaction.

We rented an apartment at 320 Hermosa Avenue six months ago. With Alex Smith he charged us $500 for…read morea 620 square-foot apartment which did not need to be painted. They also charged a $750 in commission fees. I have never heard of anything like this, but I guess that's just what they do. When we moved into the apartment, the whole apartment was not painted. It was touched up with a different color white We moved out, took several pictures and left it immaculate and they ended up painting the entire apartment for $500 when you live in an apartment you should do a walk-through when you first rent from a landlord, that did not happen there was no walk-through so we took pictures of the entire unit. The unit was so disgusting. I spent two days cleaning it. The prior owner's mother went in there with Windex and paper towels and cleaned it. That's not how you clean a unit. Tou use chemicals such as comet and the list goes on. The charges that he charged us was not acceptable to us. We were very fair. There was no heat in the unit except for the fireplace which is since off enough heat to do partial of the living room. The stove is absolutely horrible. Excessive grease on stove. mold underneath the bathroom sink. I would never rent from this person again Smith properties.

I cannot say enough good things about Alex and Eileen. My wife and I called Alex after seeing an…read moreopen house we liked, and within minutes, he drove there, got all relevant info from the listing agent and connected us with a lender so we could get an offer in the next day. We didn't get the house, but needless to say, we were impressed! Fast forward a few weeks, and after taking us to numerous open houses, Alex helped us find "the one." He strategized with us to come up with the winning offer, then guided us through a difficult escrow in which we found major problems with the property. Alex kept us calm, and in the end was able to facilitate seller concessions to fix all issues (quite a feat in this seller's market)! My wife and I now have the South Bay property of our dreams, and I am positive that no other agent in the area would have gotten our offer accepted, and closed escrow with such favorable terms. Most importantly, Alex conducted himself with skill, integrity, humor and candor. We cannot recommend him enough! Finally, his assistant Eileen was also amazing! She scheduled and organized all our inspections, and spent hours with us and keeping track of all the findings. Anytime we had a question she had an answer, or knew who to ask. In Summary, you cannot go wrong with Alex Smith Realty - you'll receive first-class service and leave with a new home and two new friends!
