We recently had the pleasure of closing a transaction with Julie and the Aragon Lending Team, and…read moreit was a great experience from start to finish! Julie was professional, responsive, and on top of everything throughout the entire transaction. Communication between lending and escrow was excellent, and whenever we needed an update or had a question, she was quick to respond and kept everything moving forward. As an Escrow Officer, I truly appreciate working with a lender who understands the importance of communication, timing, and teamwork. Having a lending partner who stays engaged and works closely with escrow makes such a difference in getting everyone to a smooth and successful closing. Julie and the Aragon Lending Team were wonderful to work with, and I would absolutely recommend them. I look forward to working together again on many more transactions! Thank you, Julie, for being such a great lending partner!

I am extremely disappointed with the lack of communication and professionalism I experienced with…read moreloan officer Argelia Granadeno. As the listing broker in an active transaction, I emailed her three times and left multiple voicemails requesting an update on the buyer's loan status. None of my messages were returned. When I finally reached her by telephone, she was dismissive and rude. She told me, "I am not the Realtor--call her." When I explained that I was requesting a basic loan-status update, she repeated that she had spoken with the buyer's agent and told me to call the agent. Clear and professional communication is essential during a real estate transaction, especially when financing deadlines and contingency removals are involved. Even if certain information must be provided through the buyer's agent, that could have been communicated courteously in a brief response to any of my prior messages. Based on my experience, the service and professionalism warranted one star.

Mackenzie makes impossible things happen. There is zero chance we would be homeowners without her…read more The review might seem wordy but it's worth reading it because having her on your team will change everything about getting a home in an impossible market. She's passionate about landing you the right house. And has the business acumen to make it happen. She's also a total joy of a human and a fabulous person to spend time around. We were *extraordinarily* challenging clients as we were new and nervous and unsure of what we wanted, what we could afford, and what the potential difficulties we might encounter later on might be. Mackenzie stuck with us for a very very long time and helped us understand what was reasonable and what was possible and then more than once, she made the impossible happen anyway. She got us accepted offers when we were significantly outbid or when other offers were all-cash because she starts by understanding her client and then uses her best-in-class people skills to understand the perspective of the seller and the seller's agents and build and maintain all the necessary relationships to do it. If there is a deal to be put together, she makes it happen. She knows the business extremely well. She connected us to the professionals we needed to get into the door (bankers and mortgage brokers) and worked with them on our behalf to come up with extremely creative solutions and incredible rates. She proactively talked to a banker about our unusual cash issues (we were both trying to buy a home and adopt in the same period) and she helped him come up with the solution of also securing us an extremely favorable personal line of credit. We didn't need it in the end since she found us a truly affordable house without fixes that require a lot of cash but I can't imagine another professional anywhere fighting so hard to give us options. She's unbelievably responsive and sometimes gets an offer into docusign and the sellers' hands before you've gotten home from an open house. She's savvy about the entire market - where the market is and where it's going, has expert understanding of comps and a great spidey sense about exactly how much something might go for. She also just knows a lot about houses and condos and the nitty gritty financial side of what makes an HOA a good bet or when it's not a great idea to compromise on something and steers you gently towards what will truly work for you. And she has an amazing sense of style and the expertise to help you see what's possible while also telling you what's likely out of budget. She's thoughtful about where you should be looking and got to the point where she really knew us better than we knew ourselves or we wouldn't have landed in a spot that is perfect for what we need and quite different from what we thought we wanted. She has a dozen top professional inspectors and others on speed dial. And they like and trust her so you often get to cut to the front of the line. She is also just the kind of person you feel really happy to know and spend time with and be on the other end of the phone when navigating a really tough choice. She makes the worst part of this process decipherable and helped us to feel ok about ourselves even when we'd made bad calls. We will be moving into a house in a community we had never seen till she introduced us to it. Finally, she's really good at interrogating choices or suggesting alternatives in a way that is smart but gentle. If you're serious about buying a home in LA - call her! When it comes time to sell our home, we wouldn't even consider someone else.

I'm not one to pass our recommendations easily, but Maggie recently helped my family relocate to…read morethe Los Angeles area, and I can't recommend her enough. We had to move quickly and didn't have time to scout neighborhoods, or even visit the properties before making a decision. Maggie gave us detailed reports on neighborhoods in a language we could understand, ran all over the greater L.A. area to look at properties, and sent detailed videos on all our target properties. We ended up thrilled with our neighborhood and property even though my family had never set foot in the area or house. It's a true testament to her many skills. There are many people have knowledge, skills, and understanding of the market, but in addition to those requisite skills Maggie has a sincere dedication to her customers that sets her above the competition. It's very rare to find someone with all those traits in any field, and if you are in the realty market in L.A. I highly recommend connecting with Maggie.
