We hired Alan Silva to sell our luxury beachfront condo in Long Beach, CA in March 2025. We had…read morelisted it a year earlier, but that agent and ourselves were just not a good fit, and it failed to sell. Alan, on the other hand, was just what we and this property needed. He was collaborative with us in a true partnership about how to position and market our property in a challenging market time. He listened to our input and combined it with his deep knowledge of the Long Beach market to arrive at an optimum selling strategy. He has a talented set of partners - photographers, escrow agents, lenders, and marketing professionals. His brokerage, Compass, has excellent resources and international reach which was important for a property such as ours. Our condo received lots of qualified interest from around the country and the world. We had already relocated outside of the LA area and, thus, needed a lot of extra help and attention, which Alan generously and professionally supplied. Once we had an offer, Alan's real value emerged in how he managed the escrow period and kept the sale alive through several unique challenges presented by our buyer and her lender. In the end, the sale successfully closed with a happy seller and a happy buyer. Although Alan didn't represent the buyer, even the buyer felt that Alan was the key to a successful outcome - that's how professional and extremely competent Alan is as a real estate professional. We have bought and sold numerous properties around the country in our lifetime - Alan Silva was the most talented and effective real estate agent we have ever worked with on the sell-side or the buy-side. If you are looking for a fantastic real estate professional to represent you in buying or selling your home, you will not find someone better than Alan Silva.

I must emphasize that Alan is such a wonderful, loving and utmost professional! He is an individual that goes above and beyond to ensure the best interest of the client. From the second I spoke with Alan over the phone he focused on what my needs and goals were. He was clear on what he had to offer and met with me right away. His slogan "Experience the Silva Strategy" is something he takes pride in. I can attest it is a unique way of him being able to bring who he is and the services he can offer to another level. From the moment he met with me, his focus was on ME! He listened to what was important to ME. He assertively ascertained on how him and his team could service ME. His communication skills, details in explaining the entire process from beginning to end (emphasis on the offer, escrow paperwork, requisite forms, response times, e-signing, etc...) has been a pleasant and beyond satisfactory experience. But it doesn't stop there. What I experienced to be a wonderful testament that I MUST share is that EVERYONE that has been a part of Alan's team (Hector Saavedra with the loan support, Crystal Vianna & Leslie Campos on the operations side, Eric Reece with the inspection efforts, Alan Cantu on the electrical services and the list goes on) shared the same level of care and dedication. Alan's circle of trust is a reflection of who HE is and what he brings to the table. Seek no further. Alan and his trusted team can successfully ensure your real estate goals are achieved. But most importantly that YOU are happy with the decisions made along the way.

He is professional, experienced, and have definitely gone out of his way to help me find a place I now call home in Pasadena. He shared information (that are not generally available on various real estate apps/websites) about the different apartments I was interested in, which helped with my shortlist of potentials. And he presented it in an organized and easily digestible way. Jason is a strong negotiator and helped me save over $25K for my apartment. Even the selling agent noted his persistency and follow-ups, which made this sale successful and a win for me as a buyer. Jason worked hard for me to find a suitable lender that offered me the lowest interest rates in the market, which meant more savings!! Thanks again Jason!! Beyond the sale, he continued to keep in touch and has groups of service providers for any post-sale needs. I'll be reaching out to Jason again for future home buying/selling needs.

Being first -time home buyers in an unpredictable housing market and economy, we begin our home buying process trying not to get our hopes too high. All of our friends who purchased homes recently warned us that the process can be grueling, long, and discouraging. However, from day one, Neil went above and beyond to make sure we felt informed, supported, and excited about finding the perfect home. He really knows the Eagle Rock market (and the Los Angeles market in general) and helped us navigate everything with confidence and ease. Neil was incredibly knowledgeable, always available to answer all of our questions, and genuinely cared about helping us make the best decision. Furthermore, it is obvious that he takes pride in his work, and the level of professionalism and efforts he makes going above and beyond sets him apart from many other realtors. He made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free -- something I didn't think was possible when buying a home. Thanks to his expert guidance and sharp negotiation skills, we ended up in our dream home we absolutely love in Eagle Rock. We are so grateful for the experience and can't recommend Neil enough.

In 2021, at the height of a crazy housing market (and in the middle of a pandemic), we were ready to buy our 1st home. We heard many horror stories from our friends who went through so much stress and heartbreak when trying to buy a home in this atmosphere. Jake helped us every step of the way, with his incredible insight and experience. He always went above and beyond in guding us. He gave us a piece of advice that became crucial later on in this process, advice that maybe we would not have received from another realtor. He answered all our questions and made this whole experience a journey instead of a stressful ordeal. I can't imagine how we would have done this without him. Fast forward to 2 years later, I sit every morning outside our beautiful home, on the patio with my coffee and I always think of how lucky and grateful we are to be here. This was life and game changing. If you're looking for a realtor, look no further -- Jake is your guy!!

In considering any real estate needs, please consider Jake Gordon.This post is terribly long over…read moredue ... First and foremost, we purchased our home almost 2 years ago. It was such a whirlwind time for us... poor Jake lol. Almost 2 years after purchasing my home, I received this incredibly kind message from Jake, in April of 2020 saying, "He would be in the neighborhood and wanted to drop off a care package + spring cleaning kit." Because of stay at home/COVID19, he texted that he, "could drop it off right outside our front gate." We accepted this kind gesture and could not have been more floored and shocked! The photos are what we received, including tough to find items like Clorox, hand sanitizer, and an absolutly positive and uplifting personal handwritten card/note. This is such a selfless act of helping others in such a precarious time. I can't imagine the individual difficulties we are all going through, his personal business, and as mother of a 19 month old, such a small gift brought much emotion and a little bit of tears. When we first started the home hunt, we worked with 2 realtors. One that was suggested by a work colleague, that was nightmare. I told that agent the home that inspired my hunt and in maybe 6 months I had 1 call/email, and another call in which he berated/spoke down to me and one listing he sent outside of my area. He even started to start drama with Jake when he found out we went him and Jake brushed it off! Another friend recommended her agent, but that agent kept showing us places out of our desired areas repeatedly. I was giving up hope on the process and agents. Then we met with Jake. We knew something just clicked. Fast forward to going through the process again of what we wanted, a lot of patience on Jake's end with us, I repeat a lot of patience. Completly up front and honest through the entire process ... Jake not only secured a viewing for my current home in the area that sparked the home search in the first place the same day practically before open house, but once my offer was submitted, the owner cancelled the open house that was scheduled that weekend! He helped us deal with many issues during the home closing (which is understatement to all hiccups and stress we experienced) ... but even coordinated conference calls to assist me when I was traveling for work, which made it so much easier to close. All while remaining cool, collected and unbelievably understanding. Since being a homeowner, Jake has kept in touch almost quarterly. Even sending personal information to us about tax season, remodeling services, even home owner tips and tricks info sheets. But this ... this goes above and beyond. Thank you for being awesome and simply amazing always ... https://www.compass.com/agents/jake-gordon/ Again if looking for a home or selling ... we are so happy to have found him ... and so should you... just call him. You won't regret it.
