If we could give Oriana Shea and Paul Delfosse more than five stars, we would!…read more My husband and I were relocating to Long Beach, so buying a home from out of state came with unique challenges. From the moment we met Oriana and Paul, we knew we had found the right team. They were warm, knowledgeable, incredibly responsive, and always willing to answer our many questions with patience and honesty. Throughout our home search, they took the time to truly understand what was important to us. We never felt pressured to make a decision or compromise on what we wanted. Instead, they provided thoughtful guidance, shared their local expertise, and helped us make informed decisions every step of the way. What impressed us most was the level of care they showed throughout the entire process. Whether it was scheduling showings, coordinating inspections, explaining documents, or simply checking in to make sure we felt comfortable, Oriana and Paul consistently went above and beyond. Their communication was exceptional, and they made what could have been a stressful long-distance move feel organized, manageable, and even enjoyable. Today we're settling into a home that truly exceeded our expectations, and we're incredibly grateful to have had Oriana and Paul by our side. If you're looking for a real estate team that is professional, honest, responsive, and genuinely cares about their clients, we wholeheartedly recommend Oriana Shea, Paul Delfosse, and The Oriana Shea Group. They earned our complete trust, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to family and friends.

Working with Oriana and Ronnie was the best realtor experience we have had. My mom was selling her…read moretownhome in a community and Oriana called us back within an hour of us submitting an inquiry form on a Saturday morning. She went right to work with a dated house and help us through the whole process. Before we even signed with her she continued to offer to meet with us and answer all of our questions. We have been burned by real estate agents in the past and she helped reassure us. We had to fly back to the east coast and she handled all of the post work (sorry again about the bricks!). She got us a great deal, handled everything we needed with us being across the country. We would work with her if we ever find ourselves in Long Beach again. Thank you to Oriana and Ronnie for everything!

Working with Susy Smith and Laine Warthan throughout our four-month journey of selling our condo…read moreand buying our forever home was an incredible experience. From start to finish, they were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely had our best interests at heart. They always took the time to listen to our concerns, answered our questions quickly, and made sure we felt informed every step of the way. Whenever we needed guidance, they offered thoughtful strategies without ever making us feel pressured. They were also incredibly understanding and respectful of what we wanted and how we wanted to approach each decision. Buying and selling at the same time is stressful, but Susy and Laine made the entire process feel so much more manageable. Their professionalism, dedication, and hard work truly went above and beyond, and we couldn't be more grateful for everything they did for us. If you're looking for real estate agents who are knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely care about their clients, we wholeheartedly recommend Susy Smith and Laine Warthan. We are so thankful we chose them and couldn't imagine going through this process with anyone else!

I wish I could give Beatrix and the Whipple Group 10 out of 5 stars. The entire team is…read moreexceptionally professional and deeply knowledgeable about the real estate market. Beatrix, in particular, was a lifesaver as we navigated the transition from our condo to our first home after our son was born. She helped us find the perfect house within the exact timeframe we needed, meeting every requirement we asked for. She then guided us through an extremely challenging condo market and ensured we were still able to maintain our home equity despite difficult selling conditions. Most importantly, throughout the entire process, Beatrix was a dedicated support and confidant. She made what could have been an overwhelming and stressful experience so much more manageable. We always felt truly heard, supported, and informed. She never missed a response, no matter the time, and was always available, even on nights and weekends. When I say she works overtime, it is truly an understatement. The videos Beatrix provided and her weekly market updates were incredibly helpful. She took the time to explain market trends and compare our property to others so we could make confident, well-informed decisions while both buying and selling. Beatrix will forever be our realtor, and we will absolutely continue to rely on her expertise through every future real estate transition. We recommend her wholeheartedly to friends and family for her professionalism, dedication, and genuine character. If you are looking for a realtor who will truly treat you like family, Beatrix and the Whipple Group are it. We can't imagine navigating the past year of buying our new home and selling our beloved condo with anyone else.

The Ben Fisher Team are unequivocally the best in the business. We've (me & my wife) seen the…read moresignage around the city (great brand awareness marketing), and got connected with Ben via a referral. While our referral spoke so highly of Ben, I said to myself, "let me see what's up." Boy oh boy, the referral was spot on. Let's address the elephant in the room: sales can sometimes lack empathy. You factor in hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake with purchasing/selling a home and now your desire for empathy is heightened to rival that of Mount Everest. Our opinion on why Ben and his team are the best is truly rooted in Ben and his team's empathy. They're super communicators that offer candid expertise, which is what everyone deserves when it comes to purchasing their first home. The ability to answer my immediate question and then provide more information that answers any follow ups questions I may have is a masterful skill to have and one that I appreciate so much. Their expertise brought us tranquility and knowing they were a text/phone call away is the kind of white glove service that has long been forgotten in today's automated world. So, if you're wondering if it is worth reaching out to the team to help you on your home buying/selling odyssey...YES. If you're wondering if they'll be transparent and honest -- like that one friend you go to when you need to course correct -- YES If you're wondering if they have connections should you need some home improvement or financing help -- YES. Imagine if Home Depot had a savvy financial partner in all of its stores. Consider Ben and his team as the one stop shop. Thank you again to Ben and Rosie. Without you two, we wouldn't have found our first home. You both made this experience far less stressful and anxiety inducing as we initially thought it would be haha. Cheers, The Gates Family

If you don't want to read a long review, here's the gist, you can go with Teresa and never have to…read morelook back or you can go with someone else, waste your time and then realize you should have worked with Teresa. There are agents and then there are Agents. Teresa is definitely an Agent. I relocated to SoCal (from NorCal), but was fairly familiar with LA, so it wasn't like I didn't know the area or anything. After relocating, I slowly started to look around to purchase my first home (the Bay Area as you know is now just ridiculous). At the beginning, I worked with 2 agents, 1 referred to my as part of my relocation package and another I found. I can say those agents (and I saw this when looking for to buy years ago), they didn't really listen or care for what I was looking for. I had a list of non-negotiables and I swear those 2 agents were def b/c I mentioned them multiple times my non-negotiables (they weren't crazy just 3-4 things, like price and location), but every property they showed me did not contain more than 1, maybe 2 at best, of my non-negotiables. I could tell they just wanted to make a sale and get the commission. It got to the point where I said "screw it I'll just do it myself." At this point, I was at the will of just Google searches, Zillow, Redfin, etc. But this did not make my search easier. I've noticed that by the time listing got onto these sites there was already offers submitted, so I was playing catch-up. Months later, I started to work with Teresa, just by chance. Man can I say again, she is an Agent! Unlike the others, she listened to what I was looking for and only showed my what I was looking for. She didn't try to up-sell me at any time, but rather worked within the boundaries I set. I can say, I was picky on what I was looking for (I wasn't looking to buy just to buy, but rather only going to buy if I found something worth buying). With that, Teresa never once forced me to try to make a decision I wasn't ready for. She was very patient. Not only that, I could tell she wanted to make sure I was happy with my purchase. So there was nothing forced. Also, I was no longer playing catchup, but rather being one of the first viewers! During all the viewings, especially during COVID, she made she I was informed of everything, i.e. rules, etc, and made viewing place every comfortable. Not just comfortable, but down-right fun. I can say there were many inside jokes that emerged from our viewings. Once an offer was made, Teresa walked me through the process in great detail. I can honestly say she definitely held my hand through the entire process (since it was my first purchase). She answered every question, but not only that, she did it with no hint of annoyance, no matter how stupid the question. From my experience, from the other agents, I have high confidence that they would have never walked me through the entire process like Teresa. Overall, like I said there are agents and there are Agents. Don't waste your time. Work with an Agent, work with Teresa. Whether it's your first, second, third, or other home, Teresa will give you the personal touch and not the business feel. I can tell she was motivated by making sure I was happy and nothing else (which is rare these days). There is no doubt, for my next home I will be reaching out to Teresa.
