I recently worked with Mia and Derek to purchase my first home and I can't thank them enough! As a…read morefirst time homebuyer, I had no idea what to expect and was completely unfamiliar with the process. Both of them were incredibly kind and helpful in guiding me through every step of the way. I worked more closely with Mia throughout the process and I truly credit her as the reason I was able to get my home at the deal I did. I think her personality is very personable and represented me well to the sellers leaving good impressions. Highly recommend

Derek Hirano was absolutely outstanding in helping us sell my late father's home. From beginning to…read moreend, he was incredibly meticulous, organized, and always one step ahead. Because we didn't live in the area, Derek went above and beyond in ways that most realtors never would. He made sure the house was always looked after. Selling a home that was a part of your childhood can be complicated, but Derek's knowledge and guidance made the entire process so much easier. He was dependable, highly communicative, and always available to answer questions or handle whatever came up. We always felt like our family's best interests were his priority. I can't say enough great things about Derek. If you're looking for a realtor who is professional, trustworthy, compassionate, and willing to go the extra mile, I wholeheartedly recommend him. He exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did for our family.

Karen Anderson was the clear standout after I diligently interviewed three other agents to sell our…read morebeloved Carson home after owning same for over 50 years. She was immediately the most credible: prepared, data‑driven, and confident without any salesy pressure. She's an old‑school professional using today's technology to drive results. We appreciated her weekly updates without having to ask. We had just two weeks to prep the house, including a full exterior paint job, and Karen made the entire process turnkey. She hired and coordinated all the vendors so we didn't have to search or manage anyone ourselves, including a digital video tour that really showcased the property online. She obtained our pre‑approval for every expense before moving forward and stayed within our projected budget, which we greatly appreciated. One of the biggest selling points was Karen having her own staging furniture. But because of the size and layout of our house she brought in an outside staging vendor on her own dime so the home would show at its absolute best. Bravo Karen. No cutting corners with her. From there, she handled everything: prep, paint, staging, photos, video, pricing strategy, and negotiations. The home sold after the first open house, in one week, and over asking price. Claudia was the point person at the Open House and she was upbeat, polite and professional. As someone who watches both cost and value very closely, I can say without hesitation that Karen fully earned her commission. If you're serious about getting top dollar with minimal stress, interview a few agents like I did--but in the end, trust the one who gets it done. When you only have one shot at selling such an important asset, don't gamble with it; hire Karen Anderson. She's the Gold Standard of real estate agents.

I told my coworker the other day "if I could hire Karen Anderson to manage my life, I would." My…read morecoworker has no idea who Karen is, and I didn't care because there is not enough I can say to how amazing a job I think the Prestige Team do. I have worked with her team twice now, the first time to buy a house and the second time to sell a house. The funny thing is, I wasn't even planning on buying a house yet when I met Jonathan on her team. I was just dipping my toe into what was happening in my area and looking for maybe hiring an agent. I walked into an open house hosted by Jonathan and immediately liked his vibe. I also loved the vibe of the house, so much so, I was sold twice over. I hired him and bought the house. After that, I have reached out to both Jonathan and Karen for recommendations on work to be done, and they never fail to have qualified people I can hire. When I was ready to sell another house, there was no doubt in my mind who I was going to hire: The Prestige Team. Karen has walked us through the process, informing us in realistic terms how much the house should go for, she has hired and managed updates to the fixtures, bathroom, and kitchen, not to mention painting and gardening and electrical, and has kept us in the loop with bids. Now that the contract has already been signed, I can say I would have given her a higher commission (maybe . . . my partner would probably have something to say about that, though). In other words, HIRE THE PRESTIGE TEAM. If I could be more glowing in my review, I would!

We had an awesome experience working with Forrest and couldn't recommend him more highly. I've…read moreworked with multiple real estate agents over the years, and Forrest genuinely stands out as one of the best I've worked with. From the beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and was incredibly patient throughout the process. He was always available, responsive, and honest with us, and we never felt pressured to make a decision just to get a deal done. It was clear that he cared about finding the right home for our family. Once we found our home, Forrest was on top of everything. He helped us navigate the offer, negotiations, inspections, escrow, and closing, and his communication throughout the entire process was excellent. There were plenty of moving pieces, but he kept everything moving and made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable. Forrest is a great real estate agent and, in my opinion, one of the best up-and-coming agents in Southern California. He works hard, knows the market, communicates well, and genuinely looks out for his clients. We're extremely happy with the home we ended up with and grateful to Forrest for helping us get there. If you're buying or selling a home in Southern California, I'd highly recommend giving Forrest a call. Five stars without hesitation.
