I had the pleasure of working with May throughout the entire process of finding and purchasing my new home - I must say, she has been absolutely amazing.

She patently answered all of our questions and provided valuable insights that helped us make informed decision. read more

May Kunka helped us purchase a Condo in the Westwood area of Los Angeles - all within one month. Out of the 4 agents we interviewed, May was THE ONE! She was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly during our conversation. She listened to us about our requirements and was willing to help us - unlike some who wanted us to increase our budget immediately. May presented many viable candidates and we arranged a date to view all of them in one day since we do not live in the LA area. We felt really comfortable with May because with her vast experience and tenure, she was able to educate us on what to look for when viewing said properties. Those tips helped us tremendously in guiding us towards our final selection. Throughout the process, May was informative, patient (we had a ton of questions), always available to communicate with us and the seller, a great negotiator when working with the seller agent, led us step-by-step through the paperwork and dealt with issues with utmost professionalism and courtesy. May and her staff (Vanessa) worked with us and kept us apprised of what was going on and what to do next. All in all, a stress-free and enjoyable buying experience. Our major point about working with May is that she will listen to your desires and strive to work towards them. We found her to be a trustworthy, supportive, very effective Realtor and we highly recommend her to all! read more

It is clear that May is an expert in her field, and her years of experience were absolute strengths that helped us navigate the highly competitive housing market in Los Angeles. She was also able to refer us to a mortgage lender who gave us a great rate. May's dedication and attention to detail is impressive. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the home we loved. Highly recommend! read more

This is a peer to peer review. May was the buyer's agent for a listing I had in West Covina. Through out the entire process, she was 110% professional from showing the property to closing! She successfully had her client's offer accepted amongst 9 other offers, she knew what to do to outshine the competition. She guided her clients through a detailed physical and sewer inspection. It appeared to me that no stone was left unturned. May was even able to close escrow within 21 days. In this competitive real estate market, I would highly recommend May. read more

May kunka helped me purchase my first condo in La Habra that I absolutely love. May was a tremendously hard and quick worker, she was very professional and detail orientated on breaking down the whole process on buying a home, and had an extremely great team to support us too.

My sister recommended May to me after my sister purchased her first home with her. May proved to me how great she really is as a realtor. read more

My wife and I are incredibly fortunate to have been referred to our amazing realtor, May. Her communication skills are excellent and she was very prompt to respond to our emails, calls, and texts. As first time home buyers, the process seemed intimidating, but May graciously guided us throughout the entire process and simplified everything. She makes incredibly helpful informative videos (realtor jargon, important documents/steps and even market updates to name a few). She was able to help us find the best mortgage interest rate as well. We knew we would be well taken-care of after our first meeting with May. She was able to get a good feel of our "dream home," and we were able to start browsing homes immediately. May is very knowledgeable about home details, and has keen eyes for pointing out the pros and cons of a home (ie: things that are up-to-date and other potential repairs in the future). May is also a strategic, aggressive negotiator and really fought to help us obtain the best offer possible. We purchased our home during the unpredictable COVID-19 period, and I really think May's effort + communication with the buyer's agent helped align the stars and scored us our dream home! It was likely a combination of fate, and May's realtor magic. Having May on your team is like having the MVP of (name your favorite sport). You will not regret working with May. Her 13+ years of realtor experience is evident, and she went the extra mile for us. She is highly recommended, and I will be referring to her to all my family and friends for any realtor needs. read more

If you're looking to buy or to sell, look no further and choose May Kunka as your agent. May's knowledge and expertise is unparalleled. We have had the chance to work with May multiple times and we cannot say how much we appreciate her effort in closing in on a deal. There are many difficult situations throughout the process and May always figures a solution. This is no easy task when the other party is being difficult or playing games. Not only is she an expert on her craft she also thoroughly explains the property's pros and cons. Many agents will only mention the pros to quickly finish the deal but I can assure you, she's not one of them. An agent is a lot more than someone with a license to complete the transaction. There are many many documents, laws, procedures and different scenarios that the agent will help you overcome. May's experience gives you the easiest path in either buying or selling. I've recommended her services to many friends and family and every single time, they are more than content by her exceptional skills. For property transactions, a trusting skilled agent is vital and May has outdone herself every time. read more

May Kunka, helped us purchase our home in the city of Pasadena. May was an excellent agent! She was so easy to work with. She took the time to sit down, get to know us as people and know what what we were looking for. When it came time to look, we were able to do all the prep work beforehand with her help, so looking was fun! May really looked out for us and told us the truth when it came to the property. We've worked with a different agent who always just said "This is great and it's going to go fast!" and kept pushing to buy, buy, buy. But May wasn't pushy and genuinely just wanted a good fit for us. She was so knowledgeable about the buying process, including finding the right loan officer and the timeline to get things done. May made the whole journey as stress-free as possible, making herself available for us to ask questions and accommodating our busy schedules. We really appreciated our time with her, and knew we wouldn't have found our new home without her. Thank you so much May and your team for everything! read more

We were super lucky to have had May as our agent. She is very friendly, easy to work with, communicates and response very fast, and very knowledgeable. I've worked with her before over 10yrs when she helped my family find a home and when my husband and I were ready to look for our very first home together, she was the 1st person we wanted as our agent. She is very knowledgeable and it shows in her work that she is very dedicated and passionate about her work. As first time buyers, there was a lot we didn't know but she was there for us every step of the way, even creating very detailed and informative personal videos for us to watch to help guide us. Which we really appreciate! I would give her more than 5 stars if I could! read more

May is a great agent. She helped us buy our first home in a super hot sellers market. She created these great little videos to help guide us through all the details of the process. And she knew all the tricks to help us stay competitive among dozens of other offers. She also comes from a family of contractors and is very knowledgeable so she was super helpful when touring houses, pointing out good features and flaws, and giving advice on what is and isn't easily fixable. If you listen to her advice I'm sure she will find a way to get you where you need to be. read more

May Kunka helped us purchase our home in the Glassell Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. She was extremely helpful in guiding us through a very fast-paced, challenging market. We felt assured in her professionalism, experience, and knowledge of the market. Her warmth and responsiveness made us feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. This is our second time working with May. We highly recommend her and have connected her with our own family and friends. read more

I first met May in an open house, I was really impressed with how well she knows about the house and could answer every buyer's question clear and in detail. A few years later, we bought a house from the client she represented, I was impressed once again by how much she cares about the seller and standing on their ground to make a good deal. So I kept her in mind and hope to have the chance to work with her if I need to sell a house in the future. Finally, she helped to sell our house this year, it only took her about a month to close the escrow since I contacted her. She got us a great deal of the selling. The experience of working with her was amazing, she is very responsive, efficient, and professional, I highly recommend her to be your real estate agent. read more

LOVE my realtor May Kunka!!! She's simply the best! There are many agents out there, but finding a good one is not easy, especially a hardworking, understanding and helpful one with integrity. May was extremely easy to work with. She guided me through the entire purchasing home process and alway ensured that I be informed and comfortable along the way. Searching for the right home is awfully frustrating, thus having May as my agent was a blessing. She put things into perspective and into realistic terms, offering valuable insight in buying a home. She narrowed down the searches and made viewing homes efficient, never to waist my time. Best of all, my offer on a home got accepted by May deploying aggressive strategy. She's clearly very experienced and knows exactly what she's doing. This indeed got me what I wanted....my own house!!! Hurray!!! I was so worried knowing that the competition was so high. But she did it! She got me the house!!!! Whoooohooo! I'm referring her to all the good people I know, and to all of you as well!!!! Good Luck! read more

May Kunka - Compass Realty - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Pasadena, California

May Kunka worked with my husband and I in three transactions - 2 buys and 1 sell. Though she wasn't familiar with the areas we chose to buy and sell, she did extensive market research before we went in and during the process. She was also very communicative (open and clear about everything), trust worthy (having our interests first), and responsive (returning our calls and answering our questions at the earliest possible). We encountered many challenges (that were out of our control) during the selling process, but May was persistent, supportive, encouraging and professional throughout it all. We highly recommend May as your next trusted agent. read more

May helped us purchase a home in Monterey Park, even during a chaotic shifting housing market. She helped to explain what to expect, provided periodic updates, and showed that she had our best interest in mind. She had a good balance of listening and honoring our requests while also suggesting options and alternatives with her knowledgeable expertise. Even when we encountered a difficult seller/agent, she remained friendly, knowledgeable, professional, patient, and thorough. In the end, we were even able to purchase below list price and with some credits. We thank God for you, May and Vanessa (her assistant), and for all your hard work! Don't hesitate to reach out to May if you're in need of an agent! read more

As first time home buyers, my wife and I couldn't have asked for a better agent than May. We met her at one of her open houses early in our process and really appreciated her professional, kind demeanor and helpful insights. She went out of her way to point out some things we should look for as buyers. Our process was ever-changing when it came to price, location, and deal breakers but May was continually supportive, providing guidance as we better understood the market and our wants in a home. May's organization and communication were fantastic. She was always responsive and would setup "team" calls for us to all review. Our open houses were always arranged in order with print outs of information. Last but not least, May is honest, hard working and a wonderful person. We spent almost every weekend with her for months and enjoyed getting to know her. We highly recommend May Kunka for anyone's home buying needs. read more

I was so fortunate to have found May Kunka when I was looking for a senior condo for mom in San Gabriel Valley. I was a first-time home buyer with no previous experience and little knowledge of the whole process. When this unit came up for sale I called May the listing agent immediately only to find out it was a major fixer and the previous tenants left it in a bad condition. May took her time explaining everything to me and showing me the unit multiple times so I could do my due diligence and understand the potential risks and repairs needed before I could come up with an offer. I was able to do my home inspection before submitting an offer, and I was even able to meet the HOA president and property manager to go over some questions. Even during escrow, May schedule a call for me to talk to HOA on some leaking issue to address my concerns. May's patience and commitment to her work really impressed me. I know I couldn't have completed this purchase without her help. As a dual agent in this particular case, she was very respectful and fair to both the seller and buyer. She paid great attention to detail and stayed on top of everything from the beginning to the end. She showed me how much personality and hard work can make a difference! read more

ANGRY LITTLE ASIAN GIRL?! Don't push her. She plays hard ball! This feisty lady knows her stuff. This long overdue review will only give you the tip of the iceberg. I don't write well enough to do May justice. You'll just have to buy a house from her! My home, before it was mine was represented by some hot shot arrogant agent. He didn't give us the time or day. Instead, we dealt with his little minions. They put these crazy demands with ridiculous deadlines. AND THEN, when it came down to the crucial deadline... the minions didn't answer they're phones. They didn't respond to emails or voice mails. This was the deadline that if my side didn't complete, I would have lost my earnest deposit. This transaction could have gone south in so many different ways. Thank you May! She handled the minions. I'm really glad I had May Kunka on my side! This happy new homeowner is grateful for Ms.Kunka's experience, professional and perseverance. P.S. Hey May- I'm buying my retirement home from you! read more

After home searching with another agency for six month and having little luck in the HOT San Gabriel Valley market, we were wondering if it was even realistic to buy a home in the area. We ran across May Kunka at an open house in Alhambra, so we introduced ourselves and chatted for about 10 minutes. May seemed extremely knowledgeable about the San Gabriel Valley area, offering little tidbits and details about pricing and writing offers for that area that my prior agent never seemed to even mention. A couple weeks later, we decided to contact May to help us. Now that we have closed on a home in the area, I can say that decision was a good one. Throughout our home buying process, May answered many of our questions with detail and professionalism. When she didn't have a direct answer, she never hesitated to reach out to her extensive network of contacts to help us get answers. This network included home contractors, title, insurance agents, loan officers, termite and home inspectors, and even property managers. She was very sensitive to our financial position and needs in a home without ever being pushy. We couldn't be happier with the help she gave us. Now after closing, I still have some "loose ends" to tie up concerning the house. May has offered to continue to help us where she could - even after closing! For this, we are extremely appreciative. Given our experience with this transaction, I would not hesitate to ask May to help us in the future should the occasion arise. She definitely has our recommendation if you're looking in an area she specializes in. read more

May Kunka helped us purchase our first home in the city of Pasadena. She is knowledgeable, kind, honest, trustworthy, patient, organized, and thorough. She guided us step by step in purchasing our first home and was great at answering any questions and providing us ample guidance along the way. We were so impressed with her professionalism and kindness! May will be our first and only call for any future real estate needs. Thank you, May! read more

We were first time home sellers and May Kunka helped us every step of the way. The first thing May said to us was "How can I help you?" And she meant it, she helped us find homes for the used furniture we thought we'd have to dispose of and got us quotes to have the real junk hauled away. She met contractors at the house when we couldn't be there. She kept in touch with us throughout the whole process, so we always knew what to expect and there were no surprises. Her expertise is what got us through the process so easily. She knows the area well and was able to sell the house after only one open house. We received multiple offers, all over asking price. Escrow closed in a month, and we couldn't be happier. May and her team are excellent! read more

May Kunka was absolutely amazing to work with. May helped me purchase my home in Los Angeles and guided me in every step of the process to make my purchasing experience as smooth as possible. In fact, my daughter bought her home with May's help a few years ago and strongly recommended May when I made the decision to move to the area. May was very knowledgeable, professional, patient, and hard-working. She explained the process of home purchasing step-by-step and made helpful videos on almost each step of the process so that I was prepared to make educated decisions. She was professional and always respected my interest while providing timely updates and helpful recommendations. May was very responsive and patient whenever I had questions, and she explained things very clearly and provided sound guidance for important decisions. She was the best real estate professional I have ever met, and it was a wonderful experience working with May. I would definitely use her service again if I ever have a need in the future, and I highly recommend her to any new customers. read more

May is a GODSEND! I previously had an agent assist me in purchasing a home, but he was not in the "buyer's interest" kind of mindset. Literally 24 hours before we were suppose to go into open escrow, we fired our agent after realizing there was no trust left. I felt extremely guilty blowing up May's phone very late that night, but we were frantic trying to not lose the house. The moment she called us back to the day she handed us the keys to our dream home, I have never felt so at ease and worry-free in my life! I'll never be able to thank her enough and even this review is just a small reflection of the gratitude I have towards her. She made me realize what an actual agent is suppose to be, suppose to do, and for that, I hold her in high regards. read more

I just want to highlight and share how amazing our real estate agent May Kunka is. Throughout this whole two month process, from the time we met her until the time we closed, she has been an incredible resource, advocate, and friend. She negotiated well and accurately, gave us consistently good advice, lobbied for us, and even gave us a great lead on a financing option, which also worked out great. She always went above and beyond, was incredibly responsive and fast, and always answered our every question. She was patient, professional, and excellent! She also paid out of her own pocket to have our place cleaned before we moved in. After we closed, she even gave us a baby shower gift, a handwritten card, and a very generous gift card to Home Depot. Who does that? I could not recommend her highly enough to anyone who wants someone to hold their hand through the daunting, confusing, overwhelming process that is home buying (especially in Los Angeles)! We will gladly pass on her contact info to anyone who is interested. In fact, we already have! read more

Working with May is one of the best experiences I have had as a Mortgage Loan Officer. Not only does she knows the market very well, she's also very knowledgeable in what she does as a real estate professional. From pre-approval and getting our buyer ready to become a qualified buyer, to finding her a home, to closing, I witnessed how great of a communicator May is. Extremely responsive, patient and most importantly, she thinks like a customer and act in their best interests. She's someone you want her to represent you, someone who can help you push things through and get things done! Thanks May for facilitating the process and make things so much smoother. I look forward to putting more buyers into homes with you soon! read more

Our loan officer gave us the advice to basically interview each realtor to see who fits with us best. He was right. Our first realtor wanted us to do all the work and call him to make the sale. He told us he didn't have access to any programs to view homes for sale. He was terrible. We started looking for another realtor and contacted May. May from the start was professional and made us feel at ease about the process. She asked us questions about the things we liked and didn't to get an idea of what we were looking for. She explained it would be best to work together on a trial basis before signing a contract together and we left that first meeting very optimistic. The next day we were receiving emails for places that she thought we might be interested in to get feedback so she could better find us the house we wanted to call home. With our input she started to show us houses any weekend we were free. Even if we randomly texted her a house on a Friday she would make sure we saw it the next day Saturday. If we couldn't make it she would go herself and send us a detailed video of the house. At each home she would point out any problems or upgrades that the house had and was able to fully explain any questions we had. If she didn't know she would find out and call us to let us know. She did all that before we even signed a contract for her to be our realtor. Each offer we made on a home she was on it. May would explain each line in the contract to us. She would detail each step and make sure we understood them or else she would explain it again. May was always pushing the seller's agent to give us a better deal or terms. Pushing their agent get proper safety equipment installed by deadline. And once we got the house we wanted she even inspected the vacated house and took trash away in her own car for us. May was great throughout the entire process and is someone I would highly recommend as someone that is friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and someone you can trust has your best interest at heart. read more

In the span of just a couple days, May arranged a last-minute viewing, prepped and made an offer for us, talked the seller into considering our offer even though they had a cash offer on the table, and closed the deal on our dream home. With anything less than 100% effort and ability, this would not have been possible. She and her assistant Isaac were very supportive throughout the process and we got the home for our family we desperately wanted. Thanks, May!! read more

I have worked with May on several transactions. Our part was to stagem her listings. I single handily witnessed her live up to her clients expectations. Not only was she reliable, she delivered on her promises. The real estate industry is very competitivr and May leadss the competition with her skill set. If you are looking to buy or sell in the San Gabriel Valley you can trust that May will deliver results. read more

Me and my Fiance are so grateful to have found such a great realtor. Initially we had another realtor that we weren't seeing much progress with. After the first time we spoke with may we knew she knew what she was talking about and she was an expert in her field. She respected our time and made things so easy for us. she has her own app that she uses and you can write comments to her on it. She is very responsive and will respond within the same day if you like a certain house. buying a house is very competitive and well she was very fast to jump on things which is key to finding a place. It was not even 1 month we were with her until she found us our dream house. If we ever decide to sell are house to upgrade in the future I'm sure i will be returning back to her. read more

Above and beyond is how we'd describe our experience with May. We were moving to a new area, which we had a decent idea about. But May was thorough in pointing us in the right direction. Our first interaction she took us to multiple listings to get a sense of our style and preferred neighborhood. She had already toured the houses herself and was quick to point out the good and bad of the one's we liked. Entering an aggressive market we knew it would be a challenge but May made each step easier than expected. After a few disappointing misses, we were getting overwhelmed. But May was always so positive and pointed out that they just weren't for us. And she was right! We found our home and with May's clever negotiating our offer was accepted. She is not only a wonderfully talented agent, she is someone we call a dear friend. If we enter back into the market, she will be our first call. And if this helps someone looking for an agent, you will not be disappointed in May. read more

May helped us sell a house in the San Gabriel Valley. It was not a simple sale. It was a complicated as-is sale that involved a tenant living on the property (tenant wouldn't leave). She presented all the options to us and helped us negotiate with potential buyers to alleviate any concerns and helped us sell the house within 35 days. She is super detailed, hardworking, and very savvy. As a potential seller of a home, you have to be able to evaluate all the potential buyers (you don't know if that buyer is real or not) and she fully does her homework on each one. It is unbelievable how much homework she does. Lastly, she also double checks and makes sure that we are protected in all the documents we sign. Lastly, she worked with our hours and made sure that our daily lives were not disrupted in the selling process. My parents, sister, and myself are truly amazed at how easy the process was with her since our sale was a complicated one. We have been involved in three other real estate transactions in our life-time and May was definitely the most professional one we have worked with. We highly recommend May for any of your future real estate transaction needs. read more
