Dave Robles deliberately underpriced my home at 1326 Cordova Avenue and, in my opinion, failed to…read morefulfill his fiduciary duty at several critical points. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend him. In response to his public reply, I want to clarify several points. Mr. Robles states that the decision to sell was made by me "and your family member" after extensive discussions. That is not how I experienced the transaction. I do not agree with his characterization, and I do not believe it accurately reflects what occurred. At a time when significant medical and personal circumstances arose, I believe the sale should have been paused and reassessed rather than pushed forward. Instead, I felt dismissed when I raised concerns. The fact that the property sold above the asking price does not answer my central concern. My concern is that the asking price itself was too low. Selling above an artificially low asking price does not, in my view, demonstrate that the property was properly valued or that my interests were fully protected. Likewise, a post-closing occupancy agreement does not address my concerns about the advice I received before and during the sale. Those are separate issues. This was not simply the sale of a house. It was the sale of my historic family home and my principal asset. The Peterson House did not come from inheritance, family money, or luck. I built it over decades through my own work, creativity, and investment. Every improvement reflected years of thought and problem-solving. Losing it has had profound and lasting consequences. While my belongings were still being removed from the house, Mr. Robles was communicating with the new owners rather than with me. That left me feeling invisible during one of the most important and painful transitions of my life. For clarity, any positive comments I made years earlier were made in an entirely different context. They reflected conversations about neighborhoods and open houses, not my later experience as his client during the sale of my home. They should not be interpreted as an endorsement of his representation, professional judgment, or fiduciary performance in handling this transaction. This is not buyer's remorse. It is the considered opinion of someone who believes she was not adequately represented in one of the most consequential financial decisions of her life. My experience has resulted in a loss that I do not believe can be undone, and I cannot in good faith recommend Dave Robles.

We just closed escrow on our Glendale home and we couldn't be happier with how Chris handled…read moreeverything from start to finish. Chris listened to us closely and also suggested things to us that we had not thought about before. In hindsight, his strategy was exactly the right way to go. Chris is very hard working, a wonderful communicator, and very well connected to all the local vendors (painters, roofers, stager, inspectors, plumbers, etc...). For most of the preparation for sale and sale of our home, we were in another state and Chris handled everything smoothly, efficiently (fast!), and always kept in touch with us. We felt really good about Chris's counsel and strategy and he is also a very positive, warm, friendly person to work with. Chris's marketing is second to none. We were so happy with the staging, photography, professional video presentation (tour) with drone footage, floor plan sketch, and eloquent home description. We had over 100 people come through the week that Chris held open houses (4 open houses in one week), multiple offers, and in escrow by the next week. Escrow went smoothly, and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend Chris!

Chris managed everything including organizing painters, plumbers, gas company, gardeners and stagers. He took the bull by the horns and got it done!

But we saw a property listed by Helen Whang and my wife reached out to her. Helen did not want to take the time to understand our situation or needs. The photos were missing rooms and where it was a 24 month lease we wanted to make sure it would be right for our family. When this was explained, Helen stated that she was not a photographer and would not take photos. My wife asked for a virtual tour and she said no? She went on to tell my wife "we have 5 applications already so we will lease without you." Who says this? It's hard enough trying to move a town or two over let alone across country. Only to meet some of the most despicable, Lazy uncaring agents with Helen leading the way. I don't usually write reviews but I am in the sales sector and you learn what's important helping the customer. The lease was until we knew the area was where we wanted to be permanently and use the agent to help with the home purchase. Helen Whang will not get our business.

Arnak helped me find a place to call home!!! After…read moresearching many different rental listings, I came across one of Arnak's. Setting up a showing was easy with him. He showed me a place and answered all of my questions. My only concern for the place I viewed was the size of the living room. Arnak had a solution for that! He told me about another place that he thought I would like. I was able to set up a viewing for the next day! (Thank you to Anita for showing me around.) I fell in love with his suggestion and I had to have it. Arnak made the process simple and his communication was amazing. All my questions were answered in a timely manner and worked around my schedule thought the whole process. I was able to finish everything and receive my keys within 2 days! I am now in a place I love and I feel right at home. Thank you!!!

I had connected with Arnak via social media and instantly liked his passion, humor, work ethic and…read moreexcessive knowledge. I briefly told him what I was looking for and he took over from there. In the beginning of this process , Arnak happened to find a litter of kittens who were left alone without their mother. He took days off of work to take care of these kittens and researched how to bottle feed them and found homes for all of them within 1 day! I had just lost my cat in February 2019, this was April 2019, I was not ready for another pet but I saw the kitties and I knew I had to get one. I was so impressed by the fact that Arnak (he does not have cats btw) was able to not only find homes for them, but took such good care of them and was teaching me how to bottle feed them when I had cats before and he had not. That day when I got my kitten, I told Arnak since he found a home and a mama for my kitten, I only want and trust him to find a home for me too. He then quickly connected me with a number of different lenders who all were unfortunately not able to approve me at the time. Arnak works with so many people and has an abundant number of resources, and connects you with different people to make sure you get the best rates and can compare to see what is better option for you. This was Summer 2019. I got discouraged and told Arnak that I would have to wait and I just don't think it is the right timing for me to buy a place. Arnak was never pushy and annoying like many agents tend to be. He just constantly motivated and encouraged me to not give up. He was always in contact with me, putting me on check to save money (that was the hardest part) and and still kept telling me to buy buy buy. Fast forward 6 months later, November 2019 Arnak calls me and says " Why are you waiting for next year to buy a place, just do it now ". He told me he understands why I'm discouraged but asked me to please just call this other lender too. So I listened to him, called the lender and got preapproved. It was hard for Arnak to look for homes for me when the loan process was not happening, but once we got the preapproval, it was just nonstop with him to finding the PERFECT place for me . Arnak was extremely understanding, always kind, sympathetic, knowledgeable, super funny and easy to talk to (he's easy on the eyes too). After the preapproval, in November 2019, Arnak looked for homes for me day and night. He was able to find me the most beautiful condo ever. I trusted him and never questioned anything he said . Arnak is really fast, he knows what he's doing, he's trustworthy, always looking out for your best interest and fights for you until he wins. Once you have the preapproval, with Arnak you'll be in a new house in days. No joke. He was always patient with all my questions ( I like to ask a lot ), and I can not stress enough that he went above and beyond to get me my property. After days and days of negotiations, of course he was able to get my offer approved. During the loan process, many obstacles arose but Arnak was able to calm me down, reassure me and take care of everything. He was not only my real estate agent, he was my therapist too lol. I know I drove him crazy until I got my keys but, in the end when no one was able to get it done, Arnak did. Buying a property is a really difficult, stressful experience overall, but with Arnak it was not at all because he did everything to make it as smooth sailing and calm as possible. There were so many hiccups and nuisances that happened throughout this process , but it never stopped Arnak or made him worry. He was confident and gave me the security that we were going to get this done and he proved himself. I can not recommend anyone but Arnak when it comes to any real estate inquiry, whether it is for buying, renting, leasing, selling, etc , Arnak is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to real estate and every topic (especially cats, jk) . I could not be anymore thankful, grateful and eternally appreciative. A time frame so you can understand how fast he was able to get me into my new house : November 2019 we started working on my house loan, got preapproval in November, Arnak found the perfect condo in November, offer got accepted in November, November 25 we went into escrow, (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Holiday season I was a stressed out anxious bird) and New Year 2020 it was done (Jan 2, 2020) I got my keys. Within just a little over 30 days, I was a homeowner thanks to Arnak. Arnak you are a magician. Thank you a billion times again.

Lee has everything you should demand from your realtor:…read more - Deep local knowledge ... Our search was centered on South Pasadena, and Lee had an extremely-well-informed opinion on the location / advantages / disadvantages of every property that came up. He was also completely conversant with Pasadena proper and with Sierra Madre. - Comprehensive subject matter expertise on housing stock and architecture. Lee is trained as an architect. He was extremely helpful in assessing a property's potential risks and opportunities for renovation/expansion. - Lighting prompt follow up and responsiveness. I've worked with many service vendors both personally and professionally, and Lee was in top 1% of the 1% for responsiveness. - Quantitative chops. Lee went above and beyond and constructed custom analysis he pulled by hand from several local data sources. (I.E. actually useful and not the "off the shelf" market analysis you'll get from most realtors. Let's get specific here. Lee was able to provide information like this. Here is the pull-quote: "South Pasadena: 8 houses have sold over the last 3 months that were less than $XXX and had 2 bedrooms or more. None were sold for cash. That's correct, ALL had mortgages involved in their sale. Of the 8 sold homes, 6 sold at list or over, so the take-away is that most sell over list price but not all. The highest over list was 35% but that was, and is, an anomaly, so to be more helpful, the others at or over list were (2) at list, 2%, 5% and 8% over list. The average sale price of homes under the $XXX range was $XXX. This last number in comparison with Sierra Madre shows that much more can be purchased for the money in Sierra Madre than in South Pasadena, and these numbers also show that you may have more options to choose from in Sierra Madre. Please understand that past numbers may not predict future circumstances but I think these numbers are pretty accurate in reflecting the trends that we are seeing in the overall Pasadena area market. I hope this helps!" - Ability to answer questions/concerns usefully and straightforwardly. As you can see from the quote above, Lee not only has the energy/professionalism to go the extra mile ... he has the knowledge and experience to be effective in his advocacy for you while doing so. Feel free to DM me if you'd like more glowing feedback. My private endorsement will match or exceed my public one.
