They…read moredidn't understand our needs and overall they were not helpful to the point were we almost gave up. We decided to try again and luckily for us we had Justin as our realtor! From the very beginning Justin walked us through the entire process and he was never too busy to answer our questions. And boy did we have a lots of questions!!! We found our house during our first showing and we put an offer on the house ASAP! Justin was always there and he offered his knowledge and expertise in a proffesional manner. He was not pushy or anything, he wanted to make sure we were 100% happy. Fast forward a few weeks after our move in and justin is still checking up on us making sure everything is okay with our first home! I highly recommend Justin as a realtor. We were afraid to jump into purchasing a home but he made the experience painless. Rest assured you are in good hands with Justin and his team.

I had a strict timeline that had to be followed and I needed to find my family's dream home in just three short weeks. Lavell Thompson helped me through every step of the way. I was doubtful when the process began because of a few bumps in the road but Lavell provided the support and encouragement that I didn't even know I needed. Besides being very knowledgeable in the whole process of purchasing a home, he was also extremely patient and available to me. I felt comfortable contacting him through text, call, or email any time I had a question or concern. Sadly, during this time, Lavell also had a personal family tragedy he was facing, but he continued to remain professional and still made me feel like my needs were just as important. He never once doubted that he would find me the perfect home. He provided me with the best experience imaginable as I purchased my first home. I am positive I would not be where I am now without Lavell. My family and I are so happy with our new home. Thank you Lavell!

Honest and hard working…read more Bobbie and Judy were able to sell our house as a pocket listing after another "expert" agent put us through the ringer with countless open houses that yielded low offers and buyers who fell out of escrow at the eleventh hour. They matched us with a buyer, assisted them with financing and helped us purchase another home in our target area and well within our price range. They are professional, compassionate and trustworthy. I cannot say enough good things about these wonderful women.

Selling your home can be a daunting task and finding an agent you actually trust can be more overwhelming. John Capellaro and Derek Hirano make up The Capellaro Group and they are the best decision my husband and I made to sell our condo. They have the market expertise, a wide network of contacts, incredibly professional, tech savvy, and responsive on emails and phone calls. - They understand the market and are great negotiators with us in their best interest. They sold our condo quicker than expected and got top dollar for our place. - They go the extra mile for their clients. If we weren't able to meet up with the repair guy or stagers they were there to let them in. They also stay the entire time to make sure the work is done and lock up after. - Their office is a well-oiled machine. They utilize DocuSign, which is such a blessing for working professionals. Being able to sign electronically with a click of a button on my phone makes the whole process so efficient. - As first-time home sellers, they are communicative with the entire process and sent us an email of important dates and what to expect. Overall, they are the Four Seasons of real estate. Everything went smoothly and efficiently, from start to finish. We didn't have to worry and put all our trust in them.

My husband and I met John Capallero when he was covering an open house for another realtor. We…read morewere very impressed with his knowledge, easy-going manner, and his frank honesty. We decided to use him as our realtor and thus began a relationship that has lasted for a few years. We were in no hurry to move and wanted to find the perfect house. John was incredibly patient and kind. He showed us several properties and jumped whenever we saw something on-line that we were interested in seeing. When we considered the possibility of building, he found lots for us and recommended architects and builders. I am continually impressed with his connections throughout the South Bay. When we finally decided to proceed with a beautiful house in South Redondo Beach, John was thorough, professional, efficient, and made sure that we got the best deal possible. He is meticulous and attentive to every tiny detail. The process was the least stressful of our 4 home purchases thus far...it was as smooth as silk, thanks to John. Another thing that, for me, speaks highly of John not only as a realtor, but as a person, is his dedication to the community and his determination to "give back." With several other professionals in the South Bay he created LA25, which seeks to improve the entire Los Angeles population. But close to my heart, LA25 is also working with the Redondo Beach Education Foundation to raise funds so the children can have enriching experiences with the arts. He helped raise enough money through Art90266 to send all of the 2nd and 3rd grades in RBUSD to the Los Angeles County Art Museum (LACMA), and he and his colleagues are dreaming up several other exciting possibilities as we speak. Due to state budget cuts, our children have little to no art or music, but this caring, passionate man is making a difference on a large scale. He is just as passionate about all of the families/individuals with whom he works. You can't go wrong with John.

He consistently went above and beyond in ways we never expected him to. His commitment to his clients is evident from start to finish, and it shows in every interaction.

After renting for many years, my family and I decided it was time to buy before rates went up. Even…read morethough my lender offered me up to 6K to use one of their preferred Agents, I gave Gilbert a call. A few years back, Gilbert helped my wife look for a rental while we were deployed and proved to be about as dependable and hardworking a person I could ever ask for. Peace of mind my first purchase would be a sound investment was worth more than 6k to me and Gilbert only continued to exceed my family's expectations. I had noticed other agents ask a few details so they can get you set up to receive automated emails with any listings that match your area, price range and bedroom count. Gilbert actually went through and personally generated the messages deleting listings he knew would not be acceptable based on our criteria and requirements. We communicated via his listing site and I let him know which houses we were interested in, or loved making the selection process seamless. He also generated very detailed property reports and school reports as he knew schools were a number 1 priority for us. Before going to view the homes, Gilbert would also send us any notes he noticed on the listing such possible square footage issues, increased taxes and HOA costs, and comparable home prices so we would have a great picture of the listing. I loved the fact he was such a nicer hard working person, but he also had a great relationship with many fellow realtors. He always called the listing agents to receive real time updates and seller requirements so we were never left in the dark. When he found a listing my wife absolutely loved...HE GOT US THE HOUSE! Yes, I can say Gilbert found our dream home and made the deal come together approximately 10 days earlier than expected. During escrow, there was no time I did not know what was happening and his attention to detail made the escrow process a walk in the park. At the end of escrow, the seller did not want to patch up holes their staging company left from wall art they put up. Even though the deal was already done, Gilbert patched up the holes himself even though he didn't have to. He strived for customer satisfaction well after escrow closed and even gave us a very....very awesome housewarming gift. One of the many qualities about Gilbert that set him apart was his knowledge and experience with VA loans. A USMC Iraq Campaign Veteran himself, he was able to help me get all the right paperwork together but most importantly, he was able to teach the listing agent about the positive aspects of the VA loan which is often seen as weaker due to the added red tape. Not only did he make it seem like an easier process, we closed in 20 days with zero issues. I could not be a happier first time buyer and I can't recommend Gilbert enough. He is the guy I would want in my corner any day of the week. Thanks Gilbert!
