Oh man, I don't even know where to begin. To say that I am thankful for this crew would be a…read moremassive understatement. Let me preface by saying that Austin was our main agent, and Taylor and Craig were major helps along the way as well. Between our first baby, the pandemic, and the insane housing market, we were almost certain we weren't going to find a home before 2021, possibly 2022. After being outbidded numerous times in previous attempts to purchase a home, our confidence was low, and our guard was high. Austin was not only confident we could find something in our budget, he made sure we found something we absolutely adored. We've worked with previous agents in the past (not from KALEO) who were so focused on getting a deal, they tried to push properties on us to get us in and out, so we appreciated Austin's honesty and patience throughout the process. Taylor and Craig were also wonderful in assisting us, whether it was accompanying Austin to the house, or making sure all our documents were thoroughly explained, or answering trivial questions on a Friday night (sorry, guys). All in all, I couldn't recommend them enough, and strongly suggest working with KALEO. Thanks again for everything, guys. We couldn't have done this without you!

This most recent sale of my condo felt incredibly effortless from start to finish, which speaks volumes about his experience and professionalism. Mohit handled every detail with efficiency, clear communication, and confidence, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Beyond his strong work ethic, Mohit is genuinely kind, patient, and always has his client's best interests at heart. He's someone you can trust completely, and that peace of mind is invaluable during a real estate transaction. I'm so grateful to have worked with him again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding realtor.

Property manager Kimberly Jones was very unpleasant to work with. She had a listing in Covina, so I…read moredecided to reach out. I called multiple times, but she would never pick up the phone. I messaged her via Zillow and she responded that I can go see the property anytime between 9am-6pm. I went to view it and it had an open house sign. I did a self guided tour (disclosure: if you plan to have this company manage your property, please take note that they leave your property unattended). I did the tour and decided to apply. She said I had to pick up the application which was located outside of her office and that I would need a cashiers check in order for her to process the application. So I drove to her office and grabbed an application and money order. In order for me to submit it, I needed to leave it in the slot door of her office... so I never physically met or spoke to her over the phone - thought the entire process. I submitted my application and she wrote me saying she wasn't going to process my application unless others fell through. The next day the listing was gone and I had to way to speak with Kimberly. She ended up taking the money order and did not process my application. I want everyone to know that this company is lazy and leaves properties unattended, so I would suggest that you do not hire this company to manage your personal property because they leave it unattended and give the gate codes to everyone. Plus, their property manager's never answer their phones. Kimberley is lazy and refused to call, process my application, or be available at the property to see if I had any questions.

Looking back, Donavan's biggest gift was being the catalyst we badly needed to taking initiative in buying a home. If my wife and I hadn't met Donavan, we would still be going nowhere, still looking on Redfin and sending each other listings as we had been for months and months. His knowledge of the Los Angeles market gave us confidence in him. Donavan held our hands through the purchasing and loan process and made it super easy for us by maintaining daily communication and staying on top of our loan process while we were both at work. I come from a commercial financing background and he knows his stuff so I was super comfortable working with him through this process... He was in our corner the whole way and even had some veteran tricks up his sleeve as our RE agent and loan officer that gave us negotiating leverage (read til the end) and favorable loan terms and pricing. I shopped around for loans and still went with him in the end. THIS GUY REALLY CARES. He even read our HOA Docs and gave us cliff notes, gave us ideas for aesthetic, impactful, and value-add renovations. WHO DOES THAT?? I'll wait.... Anyone who has an opportunity to be represented by Donavan as an agent or loan officer will be extremely happy. I will be recommending him to my family or friends going through selling, buying, or financing. For those who are curious... we viewed the home on a Saturday, submitted a competitive offer and after some negotiating our offer was accepted by Wednesday. Then we opened escrow and closed in 3 weeks. From viewing the home to closing escrow took only 4 weeks. He even had seller cover closing costs and some repairs. I know this is a glowing review and he deserves it.

From start to finish, the entire process was handled with remarkable efficiency and professionalism. I especially valued your ability to sell my home "as is" while still securing the best possible price. That combination is not easy to achieve, and it made a significant difference for me. What truly stood out was your respectful and thoughtful approach. You gave me the time and space I needed to make my decision without any pressure. Your follow-ups were always considerate and never overwhelming, which made the experience feel comfortable and supportive rather than stressful. I also deeply appreciated how you managed every detail, including arranging for a dumpster and taking care of any remaining items left behind. That level of service went above and beyond my expectations and made the entire process seamless. It was an absolute pleasure working with you, Charles, and Mary Ann. The experience was positive, smooth, and genuinely pleasant from beginning to end. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone, and I would gladly work with you again in a heartbeat. Thank you again for your exceptional work.

I am writing this review to highly recommend Charles E. Picker of I.X.A. as an exceptional real…read moreestate broker who truly delivers results. Prior to working with Charles, I attempted to sell my SFR property in Rosemead, CA as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) for approximately three months. During that time, I experienced repeated setbacks--buyers were unable to secure financing, and others requested repairs and contingencies that delayed or jeopardized the sale. It was a frustrating and uncertain process. Everything changed when I responded to a mailer from Charles E. Picker. From the very beginning, Charles proved to be personable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the market. One of the things that impressed me most was his strategy--he recommended listing the property at a competitive price point in MLS to generate strong interest, and to create a bidding war. As a result, he was able to attract significant attention and bring in well over 15 offers on the property. Ultimately, I accepted an offer of $808,000 from a qualified cash buyer who agreed to purchase the property in AS-IS condition with absolutely no contingencies--not even a termite inspection. I was absolutely impressed by this outcome. Charles opened escrow on February 25, 2026, and successfully closed on March 18, 2026--an incredibly fast turnaround. Remarkably, he accomplished all of this without even needing to put a sign in my front yard. I was thoroughly impressed with Charles's ability to act quickly and efficiently, especially when time was of the essence. His expertise, strong network, pricing strategy, and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. Thanks to Charles, what had been a stressful experience turned into a smooth and highly successful transaction. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and would confidently recommend Charles E. Picker and his wonderful staff to anyone looking to sell their property quickly, without hassle, and for top value.
