We interviewed a couple of the "best" realtors in the area and were immediately impressed with Russell and his command of the real estate market in Lakewood. I am a Lakewood "lifer" and it helps that Russell is as well. All of the other agents told us all of the things that were wrong with our house in an effort to manage our expectations. Russell came in and told us all of the things that were great about our house, told us where we needed to spend some $$ and how to prepare to show a house that has been my family's home since 1977. Each time we had a new decision to make (and apparently there are many) he was there with his no nonsense attitude and his thoughtful and kind guidance. Russell really does make selling your house smooth and painless - we feel extremely fortunate to have him on our team during this major transition in our lives. He is like having a big brother that you actually like, want to spend time with, and who happens to have an amazing amount of knowledge about Lakewood real estate. Our house sold in 3 days with multiple offers all over asking price!

We had the pleasure of working with Ramon to sell our condo in Downtown Long Beach, and we truly…read morecould not have asked for a better experience. We first connected with Ramon in 2025 when we were considering selling our home. After several conversations, we realized we were not yet financially ready to move forward. Even though Ramon had already invested time and effort into helping us evaluate our options, he never made us feel pressured or guilty about our decision. He remained supportive and checked in periodically throughout the year without ever being pushy. A year later, when we were finally ready to sell, choosing Ramon and his team was an easy decision. From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly communicative and professional. They created a group chat with my husband and me, which made it easy to stay informed, ask questions, and receive updates throughout the process. Ramon and his team also did an excellent job coordinating showings. They ensured we had the ability to approve or decline requests based on our schedule and convenience, which gave us time to prepare and made the process much less stressful. When we eventually received an offer, due to our personal financial circumstances we were facing the possibility of bringing money to closing. (This situation was entirely unrelated to Ramon or his team and was simply the result of not having paid down enough of our mortgage) Ramon was generous enough to voluntarily reduce his commission, which helped us walk away from the sale with money in our pockets. That act alone speaks volumes about his character, integrity, and commitment to his clients. Ramon genuinely cares about the people he represents and consistently puts their best interests first. Despite a slower condo market in our area, he successfully got our property sold and guided us through every challenge with professionalism and compassion. We are incredibly grateful for all of the hard work, dedication, and support that Ramon and his team provided!

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.

We (first time home buyers) just closed on our dream home with Candice. She helped us beat out…read moreanother competitive offer (with better terms than ours) in our bid for this home. We never felt pressured in any way to make a purchase or bid beyond what we felt comfortable with (we bid on three different homes!). Candice was always very on point in the guidance she gave us. When we refused to waive the inspection contingency on this house, Candice advocated for us and (miraculously) found a way to help us get the inspections we needed for our peace of mind. Candice came out multiple times to the home to meet me as I met with various contractors for quotes on renovations prior to our closing. She kept our 3 year old entertained while we spoke with said contractors. Her dedication is next level. I assure you, you will not find anyone better. Candice is so kind and caring, it is no wonder she has nothing but 5 star reviews on Yelp. She is universally liked by everyone from her clients to inspectors to contractors to loan officers, because she is truly just such a wonderful person. Talking with her is like talking with family. She is patient and responsive. She answers texts and phone calls all day everyday; I have no idea how she keeps this up with all her clients, but she does. We cannot recommend Candice enough and are so grateful we had her on our side during this home buying process.

Her marketing is exceptional, and her strategy clearly works. What sets Candice apart is how great she is with people. She's easy to talk to, attentive, and patient. I am very detail-oriented and tend to take my time with decisions (I know I can be a challenging client!), but she made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way--even down to staging details like selecting artwork. She listens carefully and respects your perspective, but she'll also step in with honest, professional guidance when it matters most. As first-time sellers, we appreciated how she balanced support with expertise - always thoughtful, never pushy. We'd absolutely work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home.

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!

The escrow companies she recommended were also great to work with and made everything move along. We sold all the properties for top dollar within 3 months! The best part about this experience is my new found friendship with Oriana. As far as I'm concerned, Oriana Shea is the best Realtor I've ever done business with!
