I'm convinced that Brenda Geraci is the best real estate agent in Covina! We were somewhat in a…read morebind. My mother's health was ailing, and we needed to get her into an assisted living home ASAP. To do so, we needed to sell her house. It was November (with December rapidly approaching), and time was of the essence. I researched the top agents in the Covina area. Narrowed it down to the top 3 and interviewed the top two over the course of two days. We chose Brenda based on her professionalism, warm demeanor, and market knowledge. We hired Brenda on a Monday, she had the photographer at my mom's house on Tuesday, listed her house on Wednesday, and we received our first offer on Friday. We allowed realtors/potential buyers to view her house over the weekend and accepted an offer on Monday. The craziest part about it was that Brenda's daughter was getting married that same Saturday we allowed agents/buyers in. She didn't skip a beat. It was miraculous! This was the first time I've ever sold a home, so I was very nervous. Though she had her own distractions in life, she didn't break stride. Brenda held my hand throughout the entire process and ensured my mom was taken care of as well (giving us referrals for movers, cleaners, etc.). If you're like me, over-researching realtors, STOP. Save yourself the time and go with Brenda!

I cannot recommend highly enough. Even though I decided to hold off on selling due to personal…read morefinancial situation. The service and care I received from Erika and David are exceptional. Most agents only care about the sale, but they truly care about what is best for me. When I was going though a nightmare eviction and didn't even have possession of my own house yet, they were there. They listened to my worries and showed genuine concern for my situation before there was even a house to sell. That kind of heart is very rare to find. Once I finally got the house back, they guided me through every step of repairing the damage that the renters left behind. They are so serious about their work. They are punctual, they keep every single promise, they do things the right way. Even though I have decided to hold off on selling right now because many personal uncertainties, I feel so grateful for their guidance. Their personality, their caring nature, and their professionalism really stand out. I will go back to them without any doubt the moment I am ready to sell. Thank you Erika and David truly from my heart.

I would give her 6 stars if I could. Great job!

I met Joel in 2020 during the pandemic. He is amazing, easy to talk to and trustworthy. I felt safe…read moreand comfortable in discussing my goals. He's amazing!

Let me start off by saying, me and my wife hand picked Joel based off of his amazing Yelp reviews,…read moremaybe that was our mistake. We reached out to him with a few places that we wanted to see. He got back to us in a timely manner and told us there were no showings yet for some of the homes. We sent him some more that we wanted to see, and Sunday was our first time meeting him in person. We met him at a new construction build, and me and my wife were pretty excited. Yes, we were three minutes late, we can take responsibility for that. We got out the car and approached Joel, who was waiting by the front. Mind you this is our first time meeting, and he never formally introduced himself. He said our names to make sure it was us, but that was it. There was no "Hi, nice to meet you," or "Hi, how are you, I'm Joel." It seemed as if he didn't care who we were and that we were going to be his clients. We never had a formal sit down to discuss the process, what we were looking for, or asked if we had any questions. We never even got a business card from him, but he was sure quick to leave them at every place we saw. Once we started viewing the homes, me and my spouse were talking amongst ourselves about the things we liked and didn't like. We aren't picky but we would like a few things. He never asked what we wanted or did we like any of the properties. Once we found one that property that he suggested, he didn't even ask how we liked it. He just told us the next step is to put our names on the list and fill out the required paperwork. He definitely wasn't big on small talk at all. It seemed as if he just wanted to get rid of us, and he had other places to be. He didn't even TRY to get to know us personally. If you can't build rapport with your clients, why should the clients trust you enough to buy a home with you? First impressions are everything and this first impression sucked. While we were looking at one property that we really liked, the sales rep was in the office with another client after we came back. Joel told us we could go see the other model while we waited. We came back and he was having a long conversation with another realtor there. He saw us and continued on with his conversation. He never asked us how we liked that one or what we thought. Just kept talking away and never said a word to us. He talked to this guy more than he talked to us! At the end of this visit, Joel said the next step is to fill out the paperwork to get on the list with the builder and then he said goodbye. Excuse me but how did YOU know we really even liked the place? Don't think you're about to get a pay out for 5 minutes of work. If we are going to have to know you for the next 6 months while waiting for the home to be built, you better treat us like you give a crap about us. Let me tell you, Joel suggested ONE property to us. He never sent a list of other available listings or did any of the leg work. We found the places and all he did was meet us there. We didn't have any appointments or anything. The people in the sales offices spoke to us more than he did. We don't need a "communicator," we can talk to people ourselves. I even waited to tour places, so that Joel could receive the commission, because a realtor needed to be present on the first visit. He didn't talk about any of the properties or what was included. I'll say this, there's many real estate agents in the area, we definitely don't need you if you don't care. This was going to be a for sure sale using the VA loan, but someone else will meet our needs. We are also NOT first time home owners, so we do know what to expect when it comes to a realtor and what good customer service is. Would not recommend him, unless you're searching for your second million dollar home in the Inland Empire. He just wants the easy money and does not care about the client. S/N: Attached is a text from Joel, in case he tries to dispute us ever working together.

He's friendly, funny, relatable and all around a genuine person who wants to help. He was there for us during the process, making sure the sellers fixed any issues we addressed before closing. He was there after to make sure we were good and ask if anything else needs to be addressed or looked at but like I said, he made it painless and almost stress free. I'm buying a house for the first time, of course I'm stressed. However, I would 100% recommend Sergio to help you buy your forever home. Definitely worth making that call.

I had seen the Wheeler team at several open houses and wanted to give them a try…read more I called Ben N., who remembered me apparently. I was really hoping for a great experience with a professional team. I was on the phone with him, nearly a half an hour talking to him about needing good contractors, and wanted to begin with his team, by trying out some of his referrals. I really figured getting 3% on a pretty nice house would be enough motivation to do their utmost to impress. I also mentioned I'd need two other property's after that. Ben spent lot of time telling me how Sotheby's has only the best, most trustworthy referrals. I was directed to an absolutely unscrupulous contractor (Paul T*ylor -"handyman"), who was arrogant and a bully. Come to find out: He doesn't even have a license! He worded everything ambiguously to steal more money than he agreed to. Paul, the handyman, spent a good deal of time on the phone with the company he purchased a part from to help him install. The whole thing was so outrageous, I couldn't help but feel there had to be an agreement between them... at the clients' expense. Total hustle. Not only did he charge more than what we agreed; IT DOESN'T WORK. $800? Agreed to $500. Monkeying around and getting hostile with women in their own home! (Do yourself a favor and look up Paul T.; sadly, I just believed Ben.) Ben disappeared. Looks like a pretty basic scamming. Watch every single person, thing and arrangement you do with this team. On a good note; thanks for showing me so fast how it would be to work with Sotheby's "vetted" team on more important business.
