Regarding Douglas' teaser pricing strategy ... DO IT!…read more The strategy seems simple, but it's not nearly as easy to execute as it sounds. After discussing the pros and cons with Doug, he demonstrated that knew how to handle every possible scenario, which made us comfortable. My husband Curtis and I were a little nervous about it, but the idea that it would help boost the algorithm was too good to not try. We both checked in with ourselves (our gut feelings) and agreed that it felt like the right thing to do. Now I will say that Curtis and I did our part. Our motto throughout the whole listing and selling process was, "Leave No Doubt." We had remodeled our house about 18 months ago, so the house looks great. But we wanted to Leave No Doubt that this is the house they don't want to miss. What this meant is we made sure the house was as perfect as possible: clean baseboards, clean everything, fixed some messy/crumbling grout in the kitchen and bathroom, repainted a stained wall, repainted the front entry step, etc. We also spent about $2000 on plants / soil to update the front landscaping to match the "new" backyard that had been installed 18 months earlier. We spent $1000 to replace the AC motor, which may have lasted through the summer, or maybe it would have lasted two weeks. Now it will last another 10-15 years. (Value add for the buyer.) We cleared away ALL clutter in every room. Anything that was out of integrity, we fixed. We didn't want to have anything to hide. We wanted our house to simply be the best house available, period. Basically we knew that we had one shot to maximize our chances of getting the best price. Douglas is bringing his A-Game (photographer, teaser price strategy, Sharon's decorating suggestions, etc), so we needed to bring our A-Game to help Douglas do what he does best. We looked at this entire process as a partnership, and we didn't want to be the weak link in the team that brought our price down. We did our part ... and with the teaser price strategy, our neighbors were calling our house a "Disneyland attraction!" For all 3 open houses, we had about 25 people waiting on the sidewalk before the open houses even started. Douglas and Sharon were fielding inquiries about our house within 15 minutes of the listing going live on the MLS. We had our first offer BEFORE the open houses, sight unseen! They didn't even tour the house - they just submitted an offer at just above list price. While it was a lowball offer, Douglas could now use it to say he already had an offer over asking! We were grateful to have 16 offers by the end of the open houses, and so happy with the buyers who won. After seeing Douglas and Sharon in action, and hearing how they both handle conversations to tip them in our favor for the highest possible offers, I'm more than impressed. I'm in awe! Douglas is really really good at this, and he knows what he's doing. He and his whole team were great to work with, easy to communicate with, and answered all of our questions quickly. Bottom line, we trusted them, and it worked out better than we could have imagined.

Phi has extensive knowledge of the area we were looking at, explaining different city regulations, the pros and cons of the neighborhoods, and comparable houses in the area to ensure we were informed and confident in our big decision. He patiently walked us through every step of the way; from providing property recommendations that fit our wants and needs, all the way to explaining and helping us choose which loan would best fit our financials and future. He was persistent in his negotiation and secured a great deal, including additional benefits such as seller credits and minor fixes paid by the seller. Phi's customer service is second to none. Despite us having multiple people involved in the house-buying process and conflicting schedules, Phi was able to coordinate and answer all parties' questions or concerns promptly. I work night shift and was not able to be a part of every house viewing; Phi went above and beyond in recording walkthrough videos with commentary to give us a better insight into the house when we couldn't be physically there.

Jennifer was amazing through out the whole process from looking for a home to even renovating the…read morehome after purchase. She comes with the whole package and connections. She was a pleasure to work with and was super patient with us after the countless homes that we did not like or were not in our budget. Jennifer stuck with us and kept a positive attitude. As she got to know us more and more, she tailored her searches and recommendations to what she felt we would truly want in a home. If she found something she truly didn't like in a place, she would let us know and on to the next place we'd go. She really watched out for our best interest. When we finally found a condo and started escrow, Jennifer gave us a calendar with dates she promised to hit. She told us if all stayed on schedule (which she promised it would), we'd have the keys by the end of the month. Honestly we did not believe we'd get through escrow in under 30 days but Jennifer made it happen. She sticks to her word and makes things happen. The home that we found had already been renovated but still needed some work. Like I mentioned before, Jennifer comes with the whole package and connections. With a great eye for design she made some recommendations and brought in her handy man, Larry, to do some work. Awesome guy who knows what he's doing. He did some demo work and finish work on the kitchen and did various other touch ups around the condo. Grade A work. Over all, the whole experience of buying a home was amazing with Jennifer. Thank you so much Jennifer. This post does not explain everything that Jennifer did for us but if you're looking to buy a home then you're in good hands here.

I'm writing this review to advise other wives and primary financial contributors to think carefully…read morebefore working with Bobbie Ochoa. Throughout our home-buying journey, her communication and professional boundaries were consistently exclusionary toward me. Here are the facts. Please read them and form your own opinion. Title: My then-fiancé and I told Bobbie multiple times that we were getting married soon. He submitted an offer on a home, which was accepted, and since we weren't yet married, he was initially the only name on the title. We married two weeks before closing. Rather than take the basic administrative step of updating the loan paperwork, Bobbie pressured me to sign a form stating I had "no interest in the property," simply to avoid a few days' delay. This raised serious alarm bells for us. When my spouse called our lender and the title company directly, they confirmed this wasn't a real obstacle and could be resolved immediately; making it clear Bobbie had pushed the easier path for her over the correct one for us. Closing day walkthrough: Bobbie, based in SoCal, flew up for the final walkthrough and key handoff, and had planned a celebratory dinner. My spouse works long hours and could only make the dinner. Bobbie insisted my spouse attend anyway and wanted to take photos of us at the house. I'm a private person and simply asked that any photos not be posted on social media, a reasonable boundary. After that, the tone shifted noticeably. On closing day, instead of engaging with me as co-owner and spouse, Bobbie conducted the entire walkthrough and handover conversation with my mother-in-law, speaking exclusively in Spanish, a language I don't speak. I was effectively shut out of the final conversation about my own home, and it left me feeling isolated and uncomfortable. Missed credit: When we submitted our offer, we explicitly requested a $5,000 credit for termite and leak repairs. Bobbie failed to include it in the paperwork. When we brought this to her attention with proof, she offered no apology and no accountability, simply saying she'd tell the sellers it was "a misunderstanding on our side." Not wanting to jeopardize the deal, we absorbed the cost ourselves rather than risk conflict. Throughout the search, she also repeatedly pushed us to overpay on asking prices. If you're a wife, co-buyer, or primary buyer, take this as a warning and consider another agent. You may be treated as an afterthought, your legal standing as a scheduling inconvenience, and you may be excluded from communications that directly affect your own property. Look elsewhere for representation that treats you as a full party to the transaction.

I have had typical apartment issues that have been addressed immediately by their subcontractors. They have an app that is used to pay rent as well as indicate maintenance issues. When I have had any questions or needed clarification it was easy for me to contact the main office by phone. I appreciate that they have fully vetted subcontractors that come and work at the property and apartments. It is apparent that they take pride in the excellent service that they provide.

During the time they were managing this property they would never come to check on the property or provide proper maintenance. If we had an issue, pest control or water leaks in the wall it would take them days weeks or months to come fix the issue. As a property managers they are supposed to offer you heat or air when your AC breaks down they never offered it. I had to tell them to offer this it and as a tenant that's my right to be provide with heating or cooling when the units break down. Last summer the units here had a pest control issue, Riegel asked us to sign a release of responsibility to let a stranger come into our apartment. I was not shocked that they were not going to come while they sent pest control to enter our apartment and no one would be home. the while no one is home. I never understood how they can still be in business and do these kind of things what kind of property management company are they? there are a series of things I could complain about but I think I'll just end this review here.
