I had a great home buying experience working with Alyssa. From the first time I reached out to her,…read moreshe was consistently helpful and had great communication. My partner and I were first time homebuyers and didn't know anything about the process. I met with Alyssa and she walked me through the basics in a way that I could easily understand. She got us set up with the Compass app so we could search for homes through the app and let her know ones we were interested in. For every home, she followed up with the seller's realtor to get the status of the home. She went with us to open houses or set up private showings. It's such a big purchase, and having someone knowledgeable about what to look out for was super helpful. She let us know pros and cons for the homes we looked at and it really helped us make a decision. Once we found a house we loved, she put in the offer and took charge from there, which I appreciated. She explained the steps in escrow and kept us updated along the way. We had to counter offer and her advice on was probably what got our offer accepted! Alyssa helped set up the home inspections, plus contractor inspections to get quotes for repairs. I didn't have any experience with this, so being able to rely on her and her trusted contacts was invaluable. The closing process was very smooth and we ended up with a great house. The whole Ito Orio group were great throughout the entire journey - always sending updates, getting signatures, communicating with all the parties, everything was seamless. They all made the process super easy and I'm especially thankful to have had Alyssa's guidance during the process.

My husband and I initially were looking on our own and were having such a difficult time due to the craziness of the housing market recently. Once we were connected with Scott, everything was less stressful and he was able to help us navigate the home-buying process from start to finish. My husband and I also are not originally from the South Bay area so having someone who grew up here and is familiar with the area was extremely helpful! Communication: Easy peasy! Scott was always easy to reach and promptly replied if any questions came up. Expertise: Scott was able to answer any questions that we came up with based on his knowledge and previous experience. He was able to clearly explain the process and paperwork to us non-real estate folk and provided us with insight throughout the entire process. Overall, we had a great experience working with Scott! He is so friendly, easy to work with, and gets the job done! We honestly do not know if we would be able to have purchased a home without his assistance. We highly recommend working with Scott!!! Thank you so much, Scott and the Ito Orio group!

He consistently kept us informed, communicated clearly, and made sure we were comfortable with every step along the way. What stood out the most was his judgment and guidance. Johan always provided thoughtful, strategic advice on the next move or decision, which made a complex process feel manageable and stress-free.

Tony…read morehelped me negotiate one of the best deals in the South Bay (the house was negotiated down from 3.5M down to 3.1M and it was appraised at 3.3M!). During the process, Tony was very responsive in answering all of my questions, really looked out for me during every aspect of the negotiations, and helped coordinate everything with my lender and escrow. I actually price shopped his lender with about 70 other lenders and his turned out to be the best given my circumstances! He knew all of the nooks and crannies of the whole process and helped look out for me when it was really important. Real estate agents can be very sketchy but I am glad I found one that I could really trust. Buying a home was one of the biggest steps in my life and I've heard horror stories from friends and colleagues of mine. I'm glad my experience with Tony was unlike theirs. All in all, Tony is a really friendly guy and really goes the extra mile to make sure to look out for your interests. I would highly recommend him.

Jennie Martin is amazing but before I go into all of that let me explain some background here. I…read moream a first time seller! I am an artist with no shell who is Dyslexic. I am alone in the world accept for a disabled sister who I love with all my heart and that I have to give money to from the sale of my home! I have lived in my home for 33 years. As a motion picture hair stylist and salon owner, I have won awards at the highest level in my field and I am used to doing hair in every aspec for A list actors and musicians as well as other non performers. I am used to being an expert at my profession and have over compensated in my education because of my dyslexia. To say that selling my home and all that goes along with it was truly, radically scary for me. I have comprehension issues and I panic. I truly panic! Jennie warmly and calmly supportive! I interviewed 3 referral real estate agents in my area that had reputations for being really good. But each one as I interviewed them seem to be too slick for me, they down played the value of my home I think to sell fast and mumbled some low numbers. Not the case with Jennie she sees the potential and she treated me and my home as if I was a bazillion dollar seller with a bazillion dollar mansion. She got me top dollar by the way not even close to those other realtors. Set et up my furniture to really improve the open house experience!!! She explained get rid of all the clutter!!! She inspired me so much I painted and fixed up my entire place!!! It was fun, the artist in me could do this and I couldn't wait for her to see it! I found Jennie on my own searching the internet. She is smart, centered, knows her stuff, and is very strong! I learned you need a strong agent, who is wise, knowledgeable and goes to bat for your best interest. She is not selfish and she is in no way phony! When you deal with Jennie you are dealing with a a truly professional agent, yet personable who becomes a friend on your side and she is a go getter on your behalf. She pulled me though the most scariest thing I have ever done in my 71 years of life. Selling my home!!!! All the paper!!! The journey was really frightening for me! I cannot express that enough! I am not a typical client I am a high maintenance client ! Also I want to say the team in the Rodeo Office was also supportive of some of my questions and remained warm and supportive as well!!! I highly recommend Jennie!!!

One of the things that stood out most about Mia was her extensive knowledge and expertise. She has a deep understanding of the real estate market and was able to provide valuable insight into a variety of property types, including single-family homes, townhomes, and condos. Throughout the process, she took the time to explain each step of the home-buying journey, discuss different scenarios we might encounter, and provide honest guidance about potential opportunities and challenges. Mia is exceptionally organized and communicative. She presented information clearly, used a variety of digital tools to keep us informed, and made sure we always knew what to expect next. She was patient with our many questions, while also keeping communication flowing at a comfortable pace. We especially appreciated how respectful she was of our time and space, never making us feel pressured while still being readily available whenever we needed assistance. Another quality we appreciated was her flexibility and responsiveness. Mia consistently took the time to answer our text messages thoroughly and, when appropriate, connected us with trusted professionals who could help with related topics, such as lenders and homeowners' insurance. Having access to those resources made the process much smoother and less stressful. Although our time working together was relatively short, we were fortunate to find a home that was an excellent fit for us soon after we started our search. From our first conversations through closing escrow, Mia worked side-by-side with us every step of the way. Her support, professionalism, and dedication gave us confidence throughout what was one of the most important decisions of our lives.

From our very first consultation call, my wife and I knew this team would be the ones to get the job done and would go above and beyond to represent us in a highly competitive real estate market. There was never any pressure from them. We could move as fast or as slowly as we wanted, and they respected our pace every step of the way. They were always available and accommodating when it came to showings and open houses. What we appreciated most was their honest and insightful opinions about the properties we toured -- details that only experienced realtors would notice, and things you might never even consider as a first-time home buyer. They are always available to hop on a call and quickly respond to texts for any question (trust me we had a lot). When we finally found a home we loved, they walked us through the offer process and helped us craft a competitive offer that allowed us to stand out. Escrow was completely stress-free, as they arranged inspections and coordinated everything so seamlessly. There was a small hiccup the day before our closing -- through no fault of this team whatsoever -- but they were immediately on top of it, working swiftly with our lender, escrow agency, and insurance agent to ensure we closed right on schedule. We are extremely grateful for the care, dedication, and guidance the team at Hirano Homes provided throughout the entire process. I highly recommend working with them, and I am so glad we did -- because we ended up with the perfect home for us!

I don't know where to start on this one. Jack is operating so far outside the realm of my…read moreexperience with other realtors that giving him five stars feels like an insult to the guy. It's just a fact that the low barrier to entry makes a lot of realtors a dime-a-dozen. This is especially true in hot areas where demand outpaces supply. It's the absolute truest in an area like South Bay (the one true South Bay; go home Silicon Valley, you're drunk), where houses get snatched up in an instant, and buyers are willing to do insane stuff to get their offers accepted. In markets like this, a lot of buyers may ask, "Why would I even need a realtor?" Let me tell you why: because the needle-in-a-haystack realtors like Jack Mangin make even the most chaotic and fast-paced market feel like a leisurely browse through a farmers market. I found Jack on Yelp, and he was the first realtor to call me back immediately. That never changed throughout our buying process. Jack is savvy in every respect, and truly listened to our priorities. He predicted issues and took proactive approaches to prevent those issues from becoming problems for us. He stayed positive and optimistic--even when I changed my mind a million times and couldn't decide what I cared about. Jack is thorough, personable, candid, smart, reliable, and works his butt off for his clients. We were dealing with a purchase from out-of-state, so our situation had all sorts of inconveniences he had to work around--flights, time differences, schedule coordinating. He did it all with a smile and never faltered in any part of the process. He kept things moving so that things stayed smooth--nothing was ever a rush on our end, and we were never kept waiting on anything. He still checks in with us even though we closed over three months ago. He's a solid 100, and I cannot recommend him enough. Jack is our buddy for life now!
