Rubina is amazing! She helped me buy my dream home by guiding me in smart directions. She gave great advice, ably dealt with my periodic anxiety and fretting, and kept on top of every stage in the process. I would have made a bunch of goofs and probably made some poor decisions if it wasn't for her. Thanks Rubina! read more

Rubina was well prepared having done her homework presented well and was very personable

Rubina is a hard working dedicated agent. She worked so hard to sell our home and did an amazing job. She was always available for any questions or concerns. She was kind and helpful. She felt like family throughout the whole process. I look forward to doing more business with her. Thank you Rubina! read more

I'll start by saying that if you want the process of buying a home to be as stress free as possible, Rubina is the way to go! Extremely professional, knowledgeable and caring. Rubina guided my partner and I through the process and asked questions to help us become informed homebuyers. She made homebuying fun !! (Is that even possible?? With Rubina it is!!!!) Thank you for staying on top of everything that was going on and for being so organized. It can feel like another job on top of your typical 9-5 which is why having someone as organized and structured as Rubina is important. Thanks for making us feel cared for throughout the whole process! read more

We LOVE Rubina! And you will too if you're reading this and still contemplating someone to help you buy/sell a place. Rubina was referred to us after a disastrous experience from an initial agent. We were leery, but Rubina was so warm, friendly, enthusiastic, reassuring, knowledgable and so professional that we trusted her quickly. She assessed our needs, and came to our first meeting very well prepared and ready to help. Everything flowed so smoothly. Rubina explained the step-by-step in ways that were simple to understand (given the complex world of trying to buy or sell). We were selling our place during the latter part of the holidays when people have ZERO dollars, and add COVID concerns on top of that. We were unsure how quickly it would sell. We listened to Rubina's advice and we're glad we did! She swiftly provided comps, gave great recommendations on how to price our place, got the staging and photoshoot done super quick, and had a stellar open house! Rubina was so nice to coordinate all this through that after escrow, we really missed her! ha! She's like family, and after our first agent, we are so glad Rubina turned our frown upside down. read more

Rubina worked tirelessly to help my parents find and purchase their dream home. As non-native English speakers, my parents have always had a hard time dealing with agents and paperwork, but Rubina did a wonderful job making them feel comfortable and confident about the whole process of home-buying. I don't know much about real estate but seeing my parents live so happily in their new home is enough proof that Rubina is an excellent agent! read more

Rubina helped us purchased our first home. The experience was pleasant and she was there every step of the way. We went through our home buying experience during the COVID-19 lockdown. While there were a lot of uncertainties going on in the world right now, she made sure we understand what's going on all the time and what to expect next. She was very informational and with the breadth of her knowledges, really helped us throughout our closing process. Purchasing a home isn't always easy, especially your 1st one. With Rubina's help we were able to move from offer acceptance to closure/getting the key to our new home with breeze. We are grateful to have Rubina as our realtor and would love to refer to anyone who is in need. read more

Rubina helped us find our perfect home! We moved to South Bay from the Northeast in December, 2016. Rubina worked with us in our home search for over a year. We had very specific criteria and a very specific budget. We would get multiple listings weekly from Rubina which helped us to see what was available, in what locations, and at what listing price. Leading up to our purchase, this helped us follow the trends for the local market and allowed us to jump on the home we desired finally come into our price range! Once Rubina showed us the home with the perfect South Bay location lifestyle, she helped us get our offer in the same day. With the experience to know there were going to be other offers in, Rubina put us in touch with a lender that could get us to a 30-day closing and our offer was accepted. Suddenly we went from "let's go look at a house" to an accelerated process of financing, inspections, HOA's, and negotiations. Rubina helped procure some repairs and credits that made the transfer of property turn-key. She is incredibly knowledgeable to the entire process and a great realtor to have on your side. If and when we are ready to sell this home and buy a new one, we will be calling Rubina! read more

The only warning I have to give is how long this review will be because Rubina is AWESOME! Here we go! I cannot express enough how lucky I was to have met Rubina at an open house and then later deciding to take her on as my agent. Being a first-time home buyer, having an honest, attentive, and supportive agent with tons of integrity was paramount. Rubina is, by all metrics, that agent. Shortly after meeting Rubina, she got straight to work. She was proactive, finding out what I was looking for in a home. Due to no fault of her own, my tastes fluctuated often, but Rubina checked in often and altered our search accordingly. Rubina has an online system which automatically sent new home listings to my email. Better yet, Rubina also personally compiled listings that would not be flagged by the system's filters. Throughout the process, Rubina was patient and supportive. A few times we lost out on homes that we offered on due to very competitive offers. This elongated our search but Rubina maintained her patience and integrity the whole way. One home popped up that I was very excited to put an offer on. Rubina did a lot of research, and found that the renovation work done on the home was unpermitted. Rubina could have easily not done that work, but instead she took it upon herself to go the extra mile. I cannot thank her enough for helping me avoid that house! While writing offers, Rubina moved quickly and decisively. She got the ball rolling and worked flawlessly with our lender in getting pre-qual lenders. When we found our home, Rubina also worked smoothly with the escrow company. Rubina's knowledge and experience about the entirety of the home buying process is invaluable! During escrow, Rubina has reputable contacts for needed inspections. I was particularly impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail that the plumber and general inspector demonstrated. I will be continue to contact Rubina if I need any work done on my home! Rubina's attitude made my long home buying journey worth every step. She is grounded in reality, but is encouraging and truly means it too. I couldn't ask for a better experience. The bottom line: Rubina looks out for her clients' interests, not necessarily hers. She truly inspired trust. read more

Rubina is such an amazingly genuine, kind, compassionate, and hard-working agent. She went above and beyond to help me and my ESL parents find a home that met all the requirements. When it came time to negotiate with the seller, she was seemingly able to do the impossible. She was able to keep us top of mind with the sales team and was even able to help us with a price reduction that exceeded our expectations. She is an amazing buyer's advocate. I vote Rubina. read more

In such a competitive market, having the right agent makes all the difference and we definitely found the right agent with Rubina! In the last year, we saw about 80-100 homes, and as first time home buyers we were extremely picky and struggled with the outrageous bidding wars. It can certainly be a discouraging process, but thankfully we had someone as patient, optimistic, hardworking, and as passionate in our corner as Rubina. Despite the ups and downs, and our frequent indecision, Rubina never wavered and kept showing us home after home until we found the right one for us...ironically 3 doors away from her own home! She was very strategic and knows how to put her clients in the best position possible to get an offer accepted. She also confidently guided us through the inspections and escrow process, taking out as much stress as possible. Her communication and organization are A+. She always made us feel like we were her most important clients, plus she was so sweet with our toddler that we dragged along to most of our home tours. She's upfront, transparent, responsive, and is very well respected among other agents in town, her relationships with other agents was incredible helpful. She went above and beyond for us, and we HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the South Bay! read more

In preparation for buying our first home, my husband and I met with a few different realtors and are so grateful that we decided on Rubina! Rubina was a patient and knowledgeable partner who was able to fully prepare us for the many steps required in buying our first home. As a South Bay resident herself, she helped us understand what we wanted and needed from a home, and protected us from potentially risky and overpriced properties. She also vetted our previous lender and helped us build a team of experts that would be responsive in an extremely competitive market. This enabled us to get accepted on our very first offer (beating 6 other competing offers) on our dream home! The folks that Rubina pulled in for our inspections were honest, informed professionals who were great to work with throughout the process. We know that they will be contacts that we'll be able to lean on in the years to come as home repairs pop-up. Rubina is our first recommendation for all friends and family who are purchasing or selling in the South Bay! read more

Full disclosure- I am a licensed agent myself in MA. But I do not practice in CA & was going to be out of the country during the time that our house was selling so we needed a good agent. Selling a house is a psychologically stressful proposition- on top of moving, we wanted a neutral representative who could give us good advice about price and marketing. A good agent is there to guide you to through getting a good price AND getting the deal CLOSED- Rubina excelled at all of the above. We met Rubina selling another condo in our building and were very impressed with the presentation of the unit and her upbeat professional attitude. Although we had worked well with another realtor, we decided to interview her as well when we decided to sell and were even more impressed with her thorough research and presentation as well as her ability to answer all of our questions thoroughly and respectfully. She has all of the qualities you want in an agent: She knows her market, does good research. She is a pleasure to work with and is direct, honest and prompt. Her attitude is positive and encouraging without being unrealistic or insincere. This is very important when navigating real estate- always an emotional experience whether buying or selling. She communicates instantaneously and if she doesn't' have an answer, she keeps you up to date. We are very glad that we decided to work with her and you will be too! read more

My wife and I just worked with Rubina to find our first house, needless to say that went amazing:). When we first met Rubina and started talking to her she was great about sending us houses that were either about to come up on the market or even a couple where the owners were interested in selling off market. Rubina is very plugged in to the beach cities/west side. Working with Rubina a pleasure, she's very calm, communicative, and responsive. We really liked that she seems to keep her active client list small. And she did great job selling the seller on who we were and getting our offer accepted. read more

Meet Rubina Ryono! Super Realtor of the South Bay! Rubina was more than kind and patient with us as we tried to figure out where we wanted to live, what type of home we wanted and gave great knowledge and input into the different areas of the community. She listened to us, got to know our little family and truly wanted the very best home for us. From schools to new mom groups to best grocery stores, Rubina knows it all. She found us the perfect house in a great neighborhood in our budget, helped us secure contractors for an amazing renovation and once even dropped off groceries when we all got the flu! When we unexpectedly had to move out of state for work, Rubina was the first one we called. She arranged for a consultation with an expert stager, secured a phenomenal photographer and got right to work marketing our home. Fresh flowers, muffins and coffee, she spared no detail for our open houses and showings, even taking our giant dog on a walk when we couldn't be home for a showing. Have confidence and trust that Rubina Ryono will truly work to find you the perfect house, but rather a home and get you the best offer when you're selling! read more

Rubina is wonderful. I recommend her without reservation for anyone buying or selling a home in the South Bay. She helped us buy a place in Hermosa Beach during the pandemic. We had a long, ever-changing list of things that we wanted in a home, and she didn't stop until we found just the right place. No problem was too big for her to handle; no item was too small to get past her keen eye. She loves what she does and it shows. I can't imagine an agent who works harder, has a better attitude and knows the market as well as Rubina. She's patient, kind and thoughtful, and yet she's a bulldog when it comes to getting the best deal for her clients. She treated us like family. You know, the kind you like, not the kind who stays too long around the holidays. :) read more

Rubina and everyone from the Escrow company to Stager who supports her are very knowledgeable and are all willing to go above a beyond to make sure the home buying or selling process goes as smooth as possible. I have known Rubina and her husband as neighbors and friends for over 10 years and when it came time to sell my parents house in Rancho Palos Verdes I reached out to her. Rubina took the time to explain the process and made sure even the smallest details were fully answered. Rubina is very knowledgeable and is strategic in pricing and negotiations and works through everything with a positive attitude, so you never feel unexpected obstacles are a big deal. I knew Rubina was a great person based on knowing her personally and after working with her professional to sell my parents I can highly recommend her for all of your realstate needs. Rubina and her team are top notch!! read more

Although i was searching for a home in NE LA and Rubina works in the South Bay, I knew i could trust her to help me find the right home for me and my family. We set up expectation right away in terms of what she could provide. Since i knew the neighborhoods, i looked for what i wanted, and she helped me go visit the homes, gave me her honest opinions and was very patient with family who love me, but all had differing opinions. She listened when i had a break down over the pressure i was facing too. No judgement, just compassion and patience! She explained the home-buying process to me, hooked me up up with and awesome loan broker (Vince) and between the two of them they helped me buy a home I could afford and love! read more

Rubina Ryono was such a delight to work with. She has great energy, and is a professional with a lot of industry knowledge which proved to be very helpful for us. We worked with a couple agents before and none of them impressed us. Rubina was different. She asked us questions about our expectations, and wanted to make sure we were comfortable and that we understood the whole process of everything we were doing. We trusted her advice, and her instincts with the market were spot On! We were first time home sellers and didn't know what to expect. Rubina took charge so it quickly eased any worries. With her ideas and suggestions, she made it such a painless experience, and even got our home sold for much more than we were expecting. We would definitely use Rubina again whenever we decide to purchase or sell a home. She's a real gem and we feel lucky to have worked with her, so if you're looking for an Agent contact her now! read more

Rubina made selling our home of 39 years so smooth and stress free. She knew exactly how to coach us in the declutter /staging end of things. Her photographer did a beautiful job and photos and video looked awesome! She priced it perfectly to where we had multiple offers way above list! The booked appointments (the first and only weekend) was insane. 4 days on the market and it sold! We have become friends for life! She is a beautiful person and a very knowledgeable agent! We moved out of state or we would have her as our buying agent too! read more

Rubina Ryono - Keller Williams Realty - Thank you!!! - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Rolling Hills Estates, California

Rubina is simply amazing. She helped our family sell our house during a very difficult time. My parents had been planning on selling our family home since 2019. 2020 was rough, that goes without saying. But for our family, it was even more difficult. Rubina handled our emotions with such tremendous care. She walked my parents through every step without ever making them feel rushed. We had no idea there would be so much to do, so many negotiations, so much paperwork and legalities around cautiously showing our home during this pandemic. My Mother was emotional and had a difficult time with the paperwork, docu-signing and keeping track of everything. Rubina was so attentive, and took her time to go over all the paperwork with my Mom, she even reached out to her escrow company to ensure they would do the same. Rubina completely changed everything so that my parents were comfortable reading and signing paperwork without getting overwhelmed. She was always available, she communicated with us daily and prepared us for next steps, until the close of escrow. The open house guidelines had also changed. We had no idea open houses were no longer allowed. My Father's first question was, "how will this house sell if there are no open houses". Rubina took her time and explained that 98% of the buyers make appointments after they view the home online. She explained how critical it was that our home was beautifully presented online. She helped organize my parents and execute a plan. She guided my parents through decluttering the house, rearranging furniture, and she referred them a great painter. She expressed how important it was for the buyer to see the flow and function of the home through pictures and video. When the house was ready to go on the market, she hired a professional photographer to take pictures and video of our home. She assured us that if the home looked presentable and immaculate online, then her phone would be ringing off the hook for appointments. She was right! With her astute marketing, planning and organizing, our home sold in 2.5 days. We received 10 offers and it went well above asking. She did it all! I would recommend Rubina to anyone who is looking to sell or buy. She's kind, patient, intuitive, someone you can trust to guide you, she keeps you informed and educated. She explains all your options, she doesn't leave you in the dark, she communicates well. She has a tremendous amount of local market knowledge and will share it all with you. Her care for her clients is unmatched. What our family appreciated most about her was her flexibility to change with our needs during such a difficult period and her guidance on how to price our home so we can get multiple offers. We had several choices and we felt fortunate we picked her! read more

Rubina was the key to my challenging transaction (and I've had quite a few as a homeowner/investment property owner in Socal for more than 20 yrs). She has so much experience and so many local connections that she anticipated and had a gameplan for every potential issue that could impact my transaction. Her cleaner, stager, photographer, website, listing and pricing strategies all came together during the open house. During the open house she managed buyers' expectations and got a feel for each of their intentions/concerns, which she compiled into one decision making offer spreadsheet. Once inspections started she was present for all of them, getting direct feedback so we could work on countermeasures immediately. Her ability to negotiate for me while maintaining warmth and a positive attachment with my buyers would translate very well to a purchase negotiation, too. Rubina's attitude is supportive and focused and she gave me perspective when there were bumps in the road. She proactively updated me all along the way and of course my transaction closed on time due to her excellent choice in escrow/title team. Rubina is a REAL real estate professional who is passionate about her work and getting results for her clients. read more

Rubina is an incredible agent and we were so lucky to have her! She was 110% dedicated to finding us our dream home! I am a very energetic person and must have texted and emailed her 1,000 times with new houses to see and she was always positive, and took the time to show us each and every property! She would always say don't worry we will find the right one! That was very appreciated. She is driven, responsive, professional, organized, and on top of it! Hire her and you will find your dream home too! I will definitely use her again and now I can call her a friend. read more

Rubina is knowledgeable and dependable. Throughout our home selling and buying process, she patiently answered our questions. She was candid and kept us grounded in reality about the challenging market, yet worked diligently to deliver the best possible outcome for us. Rubina made this difficult process easier to face because she does it all with warmth, humor and sincerity. She is a joy to work with and my family cannot adequately express how grateful we are to have Rubina on our side. read more

Rubina offered a topnotch experience from the beginning to the very end - she was responsive, strategic, and an incredible liaison, keeping all parties abreast of the updates and keeping them accountable to their obligations. She negotiated the sale splendidly, saving us thousands and we are so happy with the outcome. This was my second round trying to buy a first home, and feeling healed but still scarred, Rubina's enthusiasm was infectious and helped me overcome my anxieties and feel assured that it was going to turn out - and it did. It was Rubina's orientation to the fine details and keeping tabs on all the working parts that helped us sail through the process. Thank you Rubina! read more

Rubina was amazing to work with. She is very experienced in the South Bay market and helped us navigate a challenging home sale every step of the way through offers and escrow. Her positive attitude was appreciated and very helpful throughout all the ups and downs that come with selling your home. I would highly recommend working with Rubina for any home sale or purchase in the South Bay! read more

Rubina is great. We have known her for years as a friend and neighbor. But working with her as our realtor was different. She was professional and took care of business. We put an offer on a house during Covid and had to sell our current home in the process. Both had different challenges and she worked hard to get everything handled in time. She will be with you for every step of the process and get the job done. read more

Rubina is such a fantastic realtor. She is very knowledgeable about the local market, and walked us through every step of the buying process. She is savvy and truly cares about her clients' best interest - for instance, we were interested in a house that had a big addition and she went down to the city to investigate which changes were and were not permitted, and walked us through the implications so we could make an educated decision. She rapidly responds to texts and calls and is just a pleasure to work with. When it came to putting in offers, she was so on top of things, I never had to worry about anything. In short, super competent and also super caring - it really doesn't get any better than Rubina. read more

Rubina is simply the best realtor in the South Bay. Period. Even in such a competitive and complex market, Rubina was able to help us purchase our dream home in Lomita and open escrow to close in less than 30 days! As first time home buyers, she held our hand every step of the way from connecting us to our wonderful mortgage advisor, setting up inspections, and giving us great advice during negotiations. Even throughout the ups and downs of touring several homes, Rubina was always there for us ready to jump on a call or meet in person to answer questions and bring peace of mind. She is super reliable and organized, which helped us win the bid on the house we are in because she and her team could shorten contingencies and get the job done. Her warm, kind, and positive personality definitely brightened our home buying experience. We are so happy in our new home and wouldn't be here without Rubina's dedication and several years experience in the real estate industry. We wholeheartedly recommend Rubina! read more

After interviewing 2 agents before her, I felt an immediate connection with Rubina. She is from my neighborhood and knows the market and my community well -- even some of my neighbors! She was actually referred to me by a neighbor when I was already leaning towards another agent. Rubina was a breath of fresh air, and she brought more value to the table than the other agents I spoke to and I am glad I went through the interview process in order to recognize Rubina's true value as an outstanding agent and person. The added bonus was her warm personality - Rubina is positive, energetic, honest. She kept me informed routinely with status and next steps. Her service and care was never disappointing; I had an excellent experience throughout the process. Rubina is very considerate and smart -- a genuinely a well-rounded and kind individual in our community and I look forward to working with her again. She is South Bay's finest agent and Woohoo! She is as good as it gets! read more

She is an exceptional real estate agent, who really listens to what her clients want, and stays within those perimeters.

She is a delight to work with, and always places the clients needs first. She is definitely one of a kind agent! read more

Rubina helped my parents transition from my childhood home to a new place - a significant change as you can imagine. Her partnership was essential to making this a success. She's a great realtor, takes the time to understand her clients, empathetic and always cool under pressure. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to use her services. read more
