I cannot express how wonderful our experience was with our realtor Diane Hatfield at Podley. When…read morewe moved from out of state two years ago, we went through two realtors just trying to find a rental home. One first realtor was incredibly flaky - the other realtor was a little green. I gave up and ended up renting an apartment on my own in Monrovia. Over this past summer we began a home search again only this time with the intention to purchase. We found a home in Monrovia and loved it. The seller's realtor ended up representing us too. What a fiasco that was! Apparently the house had already been been technically sold and we were merely a back up offer in case financing for the original buyer didn't go through. We didn't learn that for several weeks. Based on a friend's referral we contacted Diane. What a completely different experience from the other realtors. Like night and day. Diane helped us narrow our home selection by asking the right questions and understanding our needs. We searched for several months and Diane remained patient and informative. Even when I became stressed by the process Diane helped talk me through it. Yesterday we closed on our new home. It was the easiest home purchase I have ever had. Diane met us at escrow as we signed our papers. I've never had a realtor do that before. She has a great abundance of connections in the community for repairs. Diane was even willing to help me search for more eco- friendly options on the termite front. I really appreciated that! PS We used East West Bank for financing the mortgage and they also were also easy to work with. Much better than the big banks that sell off your mortgage the day after the paperwork goes through.

And I'm so glad we hit it off right away. Her expertise, taste and experience was crucial in helping us sell our home (closed in a month & over asking).

We trusted her the entire way, which meant we could rest easy during escrow. We have finally closed and are so excited about our new chapter. Grace may be excited to finally be rid of us after 1-year with us, but we will miss her! Thank you Grace!

Grace was amazing to work with on both buying our new home and selling our previous one. From the…read morebeginning, it was clear how knowledgeable she is and how well she knows the San Gabriel Valley neighborhoods. Her insight and guidance were so helpful in narrowing down the right area and finding a home that truly felt like the right fit for us. Throughout the entire process, Grace was professional, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive. She gave us solid advice at every stage and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel much more manageable. She's also a strong negotiator and always made us feel like she was looking out for our best interests. Would absolutely recommend Grace to anyone buying or selling in the San Gabriel Valley.

I first met Jerry's team hosting an Open House event a few months ago in the heart of the San…read moreGabriel Valley area. At the time I was getting ready to sell my house close by, so I wanted to see how the market was. The Open House experience was superb. I followed the house on Redfin and just a few days later the house became Under Contract, and then it was sold at a very good price. When it came to my time, I called Jerry up. He came fully prepared with everything. He provided me full market research, analysis, selling strategy, listing preparations, city compliance/clearance, and a full marketing plan. Everything was well-thought out. Right after the listing, Jerry hosted an Open House event. We received a number of very good offers. Jerry was excellent in the offer selection and the negotiation with buyers. Within just a month, the sale was successfully closed with a very good price. Jerry is sharp, driven, knowledgeable, and transparent. I'd highly recommend Jerry to anyone who needs expert help in Real Estate. He has everything that you need.

He was also generous in connecting us with trusted vendors before we even signed a listing agreement, which gave us the flexibility to decide whether to sell or rent during a slower market. His marketing package was comprehensive, including a professional website, aerials, videos, 2D and 3D floor plans, bilingual marketing materials, and even included professional cleaning. Everything was coordinated in a timely manner to prepare for Coming Soon, Listing, and Open House weekend. Jerry also hired wonderful people. Mandy, his marketing assistant, was friendly and incredibly easy to work with. She had a great eye for showcasing our home and was speedy and attentive with all the detailed edits on the website, descriptions, photos, and flyers. Photographer Michael captured the house beautifully with a variety of angles and brilliant lighting, and Justina went above and beyond in cleaning the house, windows, and garage. In addition to his team, it's obvious that Jerry has solid working relationships with his recommended vendors. Everyone gave the impression that they would treat Jerry's clients well with proper attention, fair pricing, and diligent work to present our home well. Yumi created a thoughtful mood board that helped us visualize how the staging would look. She was generous in sharing design advice and honest about what would and wouldn't work, even for areas we planned to decorate ourselves. Mr. Zhuo rearranged his schedule to make sure everything was finished in time and done in a quality manner knowing Jerry's professional standards. He was very responsive, humble, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable. All the preparations paid off when multiple offers came in. Jerry walked us through multiple strategies, shared his recommendations, and was flexible in going with what we were most comfortable with. Near the finish line, Jerry took the initiative to come up with a solution that got buy-in from all parties and sealed the deal before the weekend. We greatly appreciate him for that! Jerry's support went beyond what's expected of a real estate agent. Throughout the process, he helped check on our house and even brought quality food to feed our neighborhood cat. We are truly grateful for that, especially knowing how busy he was. It speaks to Jerry's kind character, which makes him even more nice to work with.

We spent a few years looking for a house with another agent before switching to Angel and the team…read moreat Eva Lin Realty. We kept running into them at open houses in the neighborhood, and after making the switch, we found our first family home within about six months. What we appreciated most was that Angel never pressured us to make an offer. In fact, when one seller was pushing us to move quickly, she kept encouraging us to slow down and finish our inspections. We're so glad we listened. The inspections uncovered major issues, and we walked away from what would have been a very expensive mistake. When we found the right house, Angel helped us secure it in a very competitive neighborhood. Angel knew the market well, always kept our priorities in mind, and was incredibly responsive. David was with us through long inspection days, and Kris and Parker made closing and everything afterward feel seamless. Thank you so much Angel and the whole Eva Lin Realty team! We are already recommending them to family and friends!

During escrow, the concierge team has been a really great surprise. They helped set up utilities, connected us with vendors to work on our new house, and every time we got a little gift or package from them we just felt acknowledged and taken care of. We highly recommend using Eva Lin's group!

So, I actually found Mike through ChatGPT when I searched for top agents in the area, Mike came up first. After reading his reviews, I reached out, and from that very first call, he was exactly who he said he was: professional, kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I had interviewed a few other agents, but knew Mike was the right person to work with based on his track record and his kind demeanor. Selling my first home was bittersweet, but Mike made the process feel steady and manageable. His communication is honestly next level, always responsive, proactive, and patient, especially when walking me through paperwork and answering my (many) questions. Even coming from a commercial real estate background, I can say residential is a different world, and Mike handled it all with ease. Mike is a great agent, someone you trust, and someone you want in your circle. He is 100% authentic and sincere. I highly recommend him, you will not regret working with Mike.
