We just got keys to our first home with Melissa as our realtor!…read more We were introduced to Melissa by the parents of our child's classmate. They knew that we were interested in purchasing a home in the Rossmoor area, so they told us that Melissa would be the right person to guide us. Coincidentally, my husband found out one of his co-workers also purchased a home with Melissa a few years back. He also spoke very highly of his experience, so we knew we would be in good hands. Since it was our first home buying experience, Melissa had the daunting task of educating us from start to finish. She was patient with all of our small questions and did not hesitate to explain line by line any small print in the paperwork we did not fully understand. What was particularly great about Melissa is that she is a true local. She is a decades long resident of the Rossmoor/Seal Beach area and knows all the quirks and special features of certain pockets of town. She was able to provide us with information we would never have been able to google or find out otherwise before living there. We viewed dozens of homes over the past several months, many of them were private viewings that Melissa set up before they went on the market! She maintains great relationships with other local realtors, which contributed to our success in the home buying process. Melissa truly made us feel like we were her only clients. My husband and I have hectic work schedules, but she worked with us at the hours/days that were convenient for us. She would never make us feel bad about late evening phone calls or email exchanges. I'm so grateful to Melissa and everything she has done for our family. She holds a special place in our hearts. My toddlers love our new home and they say "I like Melissa" whenever she comes up in conversation. Thank you Melissa!!

Lauren was a lifesaver. As a first time homebuyer, I can say that my experience purchasing a home…read morewas more fun and educational than it was stressful, and that was due primarily to Lauren. Her care in setting expectations, providing information, and staying on top of communication made the process seamless. She gave great advice when we wanted it, while always keeping our preferences as top priority.

Could not recommend Lauren more highly, we are so lucky to have had her as our agent!

Gigi is so much more than a realtor, she is a miracle worker. Going through the housing process for…read morethe first time was so stressful and confusing but she patiently answered all of our questions. Not only does Gigi have extensive experience, knowledge and connections as a Burbank native, she approaches real estate like an art, with integrity, honesty, and boundless energy. There's no one else like her. As a new mom with a toddler, Gigi carefully considered our situation and was very realistic with what would be best for our family and budget. We ended up with a fixer-upper, but with Gigi's help and recommendations, her team was able to transform an ugly old house into a home that looks like something we could've never afforded. Gigi treated us like family, not just by going above and beyond to close a rough deal as smoothly as possible (even while on vacation), but also managing the entire gorgeous remodel of our house, finishing in record time. The entire process from house hunting to move in took nearly a year, and Gigi never left our side and was a pleasure to work with for all of it. Looking back, I would never even consider trusting anyone else with something this important. Gigi changed the entire trajectory of our lives and I am beyond grateful to have found her when we did.

Gigi was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the process! As a first time home buyer I…read morehighly doubt I was easy to deal with at all times. We started looking in October 2020 and finally were able to get a property in May 2021. Gigi has a great understanding of the area and the market. Gigi was always looking out for my best interest and that definitely made my experience less stressful. She was very patient and understanding with me and worked hard to help me get exactly what I wanted. Throughout the entire process she made sure that I understood all of the different elements of buying a home and I never felt like I had to figure things out on my own. I never thought I would say this, but I am kind of happy that the search took so long because now I consider her not only my realtor, but my friend. I would highly recommend Gigi Santoro!

From staging, to pricing, her strategy resulted in 9 offers, 4 counter offers and the successful offer was $200,000 over ask. All in 7 days! During escrow numerous repairs and inspections were required, all of which she took care of for me. Living 100 miles from the property that was super helpful. There is a reason Pardee is # 1 in LA! Thank you Paige, you're amazing!

We were on…read morea tight timeframe trying to get out of our rental by a certain time, and Emma dove right in to our search with us helping us get to know new neighborhoods, pointing out important features of listings that we weren't aware of, and helping us navigate the offer process with absolutely zero stress. Not only is Emma incredibly knowledgeable, but has amazing relationships with all other local agents which gave us so much leverage throughout the process. She is absolutely wonderful to spend time with as we drove around Los Angeles exploring properties, and we would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy a home. In addition, the entire team (Tami, Paige, Sam, Carina, Greg and Lisa) are so attentive, professional and efficient. I would leave 10 stars if I could!

For the record, this sale of 2854 E SIERRA MADRE BLVD can be found with the LA County recording office and is a true transaction. Be careful who you trust. He also recommended that I accept an offer $5K less than highest offer and played both sides of the divorce transaction to his favor to gain exposure on the Rose Parade route during the busiest time of the year. You best believe that the Trojan family remembers everything.

She follows up with you to make sure you're well informed and prepares you so there is no stress. The transaction was smooth like butter. Not only is Parvaneh experienced in his industry, she is well-rounded in all areas involved in Real Estate. If she doesn't know an answer to a question she will find you the answer without hesitation. Can't express how smooth the deal went.

Their exceptional knowledge of the area, sharp strategic marketing, and strong industry reputation made all the difference. From our first meeting to the close of escrow and beyond, Brad and Joanna exemplified the very best of what real estate agents can be. They walked me through their strategy for the sale, advised me on the improvements and staging that would maximize value, and managed every detail with care, from preparation and marketing to showings, offers, and escrow. They were also excellent negotiators, helping me evaluate each offer thoughtfully and choose the strongest path forward. They were always honest and available, kept me updated at every step, and made what could have been a stressful process feel clear, organized, and manageable. Beyond all of that, they are warm, funny, and genuinely likable people, which matters a lot when you spend a couple of months in constant contact. I always felt that their advice was grounded in candor and a clear understanding of my goals. I have already recommended them to friends and neighbors, and I will continue to recommend them without hesitation to anyone buying or selling in LA.

From the moment we started our home buying journey, she took time to understand our needs, budget, and short and long-term goals.

From her initial presentation and the discussion of our goals, through some fairly complex renovations, and all the way to receiving multiple offers and strategizing about how to achieve the best result, she remained patient, enthusiastic, and willing to do whatever it took to understand our concerns and solve any problems that arose. Even when things got tough, Laura kept her head and brought great experience and positive energy to the job. And while Laura is wise to the business aspects, her investment is more than just financial, and it's obvious that she cares deeply about her clients. We'd moved out of town by the time our home hit the market, which was stressful. But Laura was so responsive and thorough in her communication that we always felt reassured and a part of it all, despite the distance. Her good taste and attention to detail showed in everything from remodeling and staging advice to the open houses. A special shout-out goes to her staging partner, Natasha Kassyutina, who really connected with us aesthetically and understood the spirit of our home, and did beautiful work alongside Laura to present its best qualities to buyers. We're very grateful for the great effort and genuinely personal commitment Laura gave to us and to the whole process, and we highly recommend working with her.
