We feel so lucky to have worked with Samantha as our both buying and selling agent. Thanks to her…read moreexpertise, experience and dedication, we quickly sold our previous home and are now in the home of our dreams. The thought of simultaneously buying and selling can feel daunting, but she walked us through the whole process. I feel like I'd gained a friend on the "inside" who was working for me and truly looking out for my welfare. If you are in the market to buy or sell, I wholeheartedly recommend Samantha.

We first met Samantha when she showed us a house on the market back in the Fall of 2017. We liked…read moreher immediately. From that day forward, whenever we asked her to show us a house she instantly made it happen. Most importantly to us, she always followed up by obtaining and relaying the answers to every question we had on each property. In the spring of 2018, we thought we were finally ready to sell our beloved home and find a new home. She didn't just leave the search up to us. Everyday Samantha sent us listings of properties we might be interested in. She made herself immediately available to show us homes whenever we asked. She always accommodated our schedule. She never rushed us through a showing. And again...she followed through, obtaining all the information we needed on each property. When putting our house on the market, Samantha didn't make any excuses when we didn't like the first pictures taken. She brought in another photographer and got us the most gorgeous photos. She had our house on the market within a week. She and her always available and very knowledgeable assistant Sherri went through the contacts with us with a fine tooth comb. Samantha is exceedingly trustworthy. With kid gloves and endless patience, she and Sherri answered every question we had. In not the strongest sellers market, Samantha had us a full price offer within 3 weeks. Unfortunately, at that time we also had some medical concerns and it proved too much for us to handle both situations at the same time . With deep compassion, Samantha pulled us off the market and released us with kindness. So there was no doubt in our minds who we would call when we really were ready. In the late summer on 2020, Samantha agreed to put us back on the market at the highest possible asking price. She had us listed in less than a week. She refused to put a lockbox on our house and personally showed our home to everyone interested. At the same time, she took us down to the San Diego area every time we wanted to see a house we were interested in. When our house didn't sell immediately, Samantha remained focused on the uniqueness of the property and was determined to be patient and get us the highest price. In under two months she got us exactly what we wanted. She also helped with every difficult aspect of the even more unique property we made an offer on in SD. Samantha is not only well versed in everything real estate related, but she also has a background in mortgage loans and building construction. She has boundless energy. She never forgets anything. She gives you her undivided attention. Even when dealing with us, as very emotional sellers, and an extremely difficult selling agent in San Diego, she never got rattled. She personally troubled-shot every challenge. She often said to us; "I just want everyone to be happy." We knew that was her true motivation when we watched her personally go to great lengths to make sure the buyer of our home was also getting a house completely in order. Samantha didn't represent them and they didn't ask for any extras ... Samantha did everything she did for them out of the goodness of her heart. She loves people. She loves what she does. She's one in a million. We will forever be grateful to have found this wonderful lady who lovingly guided us through one of the most challenging transitions of our lives. No way could we have done it without her. Thank you Samantha. You are a diamond in the "rough" real estate industry!!

Carmela is so successful, selling gorgeous multi-million-dollar homes, yet she freely gives back to…read morethe larger community through serving folks like me, who came across unavoidable life obstacles and needed to access a non-profit mortgage lender to purchase a very small, little one-bedroom condominium.

Other agents could learn from her, that's for sure. She never, ever spoke a negative word about anyone, either. To the contrary, she offers balance toward the other, even when they were not present to hear. Carmela just keeps to her Integrity, while diligently working hard toward the mark. She ALWAYS returns an email, call or text, too. To summarize, Carmela is a truly outstanding, professional Real Estate Agent! She operates her own successful company, selling high-end multimillion-dollar homes, and yet offers her personal expertise without respect to socio-economic status.

She helped us find a great home at a fair price and was able to make sure our offer was accepted even in this "sellers market" when competing with investors and a lot of other offers. We purchased a triplex in the San Fernando Valley area and she was able to guide us, support us and encourage us every step of the way. Carmela is an excellent negotiator and she knows the market extremely well, on top of that, she really cares for us as her clients and was able to help us thru any questions or doubts we had in this process, we truly would not have been able to close on this home without her!

Laura Coffey has now sold two homes for me, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is not…read moreonly incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate market but also a skilled negotiator who knows how to get the best results for her clients. Laura goes above and beyond at every step of the process. She understands the ins and outs of every detail in a deal and makes sure nothing is overlooked. What I appreciate most is that she combines professionalism with genuine care. She truly has her clients' best interests at heart. If you are buying or selling a home, Laura is the person you want on your side. She brings confidence, expertise, and dedication that make all the difference.

We have the highest regard for Laura's work. We came to the Santa Clarita Valley from across the…read morecountry with no knowledge of the market and little knowledge of the area. Laura quickly figured out our needs better than we understood them ourselves and in short order found us a place which we love, in a neighborhood we are comfortable in, both of which grow on us day by day. Without being pushy she guided us to a property which suited us while showing us a variety of properties, some of which were more attractive to me at the time but whose unsuitability I understand more clearly as time passes. And her negotiating skills got the seller to accept an offer under listing price. I'm glad I trusted her! Laura is a consistent and quickly responsive communicator, a pleasure to talk to, and she held our hands (as inexperienced buyers) through the whole process, which went better than I imagined it could before we met her, while we were trying to figure things out on our own. I can't think of any drawbacks to mention.

Sam the broker owner micro manages every agent there. Tim Mallon has to be the worst broker advisor…read morethat an agent can have. He will get you to spend hundreds a month on unproven real estate gimmicks and companies. One of which went out of business in only a year after he showed me. The brokers are all arrogant and completely wrong with the trends of the real estate market. Twelve years ago they pushed the bogus and untrue notion that the real estate market would crash. Even citing a retiring bank CEO at the time. Such utter & unproven nonsense. I wouldn't trust them with my house. Since leaving this utter and complete mess of a brokerage, I've closed over $3M in sales. You're better off going to C21 Peak in Granada Hills. I'm surprised that they're still in business.

As someone who lives in the neighborhood, we thought Linda was the realtor for us. We felt anyone who would take their time to connect with her neighbors and community would work hard for the business. And we were right. We sold our home in 5 weeks to a difficult buyer. Linda remained the professional she is through the whole process. We can't thank Linda enough for all that she did to close the deal. This was due to her years of experience, a knack for buyer's therapy!!!, and professionalism. She was awesome through the whole process and any one would be remiss if they didn't use her services.

Jo Ann Poole is Ventura couny's dirty secret. As a professional building inspector, I know of…read morenobody more unethical and greedy than Jo Ann. If you are her seller and your house stays on the market longer than normal, it is likely that other Realtors are steering their clients away from this hot mess. If you are a home buyer, and were tricked into being represented by Jo Ann Poole, your offer will likely be rejected by professional Realtors because no one wants drama. As an example, Jo Ann's clients on Holbertson Court were advised to reject the buyer's choice of home inspector to gain a better result. A dangerous and litigeous decision. At the most basic level, "restraint of trade" is any activity that prevents another party from conducting business as they normally would without such a restraint. Liz (Realtor): "she may have put herself in the way of the Department of Justice." Erik (Realtor): "A bit of a nut job." Jennifer (Realtor): "She is such a liar." Natalie (Realtor): "I have never seen someone so badly represent her client." My opinion (and review) is easy to verify. Just ask any Realtor, inspector, title rep, lender and escrow officer who knows Jo Ann Poole. There will be rolling of the eyes and clearing of the throat because Jo Ann is our industry's dirty secret... until now.

We interviewed Jo Ann Poole and were impressed with her many years of experience and familiarity with the area, she lives in Wood Ranch! My relatives and I were comfortable and confident with her, selecting her as our Realtor was an easy decision. The home was opened for showing and we immediately received numerous offers including two that were well over the asking price! Escrow was opened the next business day! As with any real estate transaction there are issues and concerns that come up. Jo Ann was always available to take our calls/texts and answer any questions that we had as she guided us through the process. She was understanding and patient when explaining the details to my relatives. Escrow closed on time and my relatives have relocated to their new home. We would not hesitate to use Jo Ann's services in the future.

From our very first meeting, she said two things that truly stuck with us: 1. By the end of this process, not only will you have a house, but you'll be so knowledgeable you could teach others the entire process. 2. We're going to become good friends, and I'll continue to support you well beyond closing. She absolutely delivered on both. Victoria provided detailed guides on the home-buying process as well as the specific properties we toured. She walked us through a full home inspection report and explained the escrow process so we felt prepared for what to expect and confident asking the right questions. Throughout everything, Victoria was proactive, incredibly responsive, and deeply invested in helping us. During our expedited escrow, her strong network of trusted inspectors gave us real peace of mind. Even after closing, she continues to check in, and her network of reliable tradespeople has been invaluable. We are so grateful to Victoria for helping us find and secure our dream home.
