I was recommended by a co worker to contact Polly at Realty Executives. Now everyone is always…read morerecommending someone and I have spoken to a few agents now and Polly is such a professional but very understanding and sweet. I don't like feeling pressured to start services with someone, I don't give out any contact info but a email at first because I don't want someone hounding me. Polly is the opposite, she has been super helpful when I need her but hasn't hounded me once. She has given me more confidence and more information based on where I live, what I can sell for and what I can buy in the area's I am looking for. What I truly love about Polly is that she is very very informative but she is also very positive. I spoke to other agents that I've kept in touch with for over a year and never received the information I have received from Polly and the other agents are always a Debbie Downer. Explaining that I might not get that much for my place where as Polly was positive and explained based on the market and in my area, I can get a heck of a lot more than what the other Agents were thinking. So I just feel very good with Polly and will recommend her to anyone looking for a great Real Estate Agent/broker.

During the Spring of 2009 I had an absolutely horrible first home buying experience with the SCV…read moreAgents Team of Realty Executives. The agent I was working with was late for appointments (didn't show up for two of them), continued to show us the same kind of downtrodden properties, neglected to inform us of critical financial information, and didn't appear to have any real interest in finding us a home. It was only when I contacted our agent's boss (Brian Ends) that we were able to locate a property that was suitable to our needs. To top it off, after the closing, the agent placed all of our signed documents under our door mat and then drove off (only later calling me while on the road to confirm that the closing was done and the house was ours); mind you, I was home when she dropped off the documents. Finally, their recommended lender (through Countrywide, prior to the BoA buyout) was an absolute joke. Disorganized, short-tempered, and also uninformative. It's been three years so I hope things have changed, but I would avoid working with Paloma @ Realty Executives at all costs. She's too young, immature, and non-communicative to be left in charge of your home buying experience.

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to be involved in many real estate transactions across…read moreSouthern California and the Bay Area. Along the way, I've worked with numerous escrow companies--each with its own strengths and shortcomings. Some were decent, others not worth mentioning. But every so often, one stands out in a way that leaves a lasting impression. Capstone Escrow is that company. What makes Capstone exceptional isn't just the pricing--though their rates are fair and competitive. It's the way they do business that sets them apart. Every transaction feels like a priority. Every detail is double-checked, every milestone is acknowledged, and every party involved--no matter their role--is kept fully informed at every step. There's a level of coordination and communication that simply doesn't exist in most escrow experiences. One of the most impressive aspects is how they treat timelines. Whether it's a standard 30-day close or a tight contingency window, you can trust that Capstone will meet those deadlines with accuracy and professionalism. It often feels like there's a dedicated team of ten working behind the scenes on just one file--yours. That's how seamless and dialed-in their operation is. And while the process itself is handled with technical excellence, there's also a human element that can't be overlooked. Velia and Brenda, two of Capstone's escrow officers, bring a rare combination of competence and care. They're not just responsive--they're proactive. I can't count how many times I've received updates or confirmations from them before I even thought to reach out. Their professionalism is consistent, their communication is clear, and their tone is always balanced--firm when needed, kind when possible. In an industry where silence, confusion, and last-minute surprises are far too common, working with Capstone feels like discovering a secret that only a few are lucky enough to know.

My wife and I both bought a new home and sold our old home with Merry and Steve over 2021. Despite…read morethe craziness of the market, we were able to buy (relatively) low and sell (almost absurdly) high. I'm convinced that Merry and Steve played a big role in our good fortune. They were constantly available, immediately responsive, and patiently waited as we remodeled the new home over six months and then prepared the old home for sale. No pushiness on their part and a lot of flexibility to make sure we felt comfortable. During the process they both referred us to excellent professionals, both for our mortgage and for home repair. You can't go wrong either buying or selling (or both) with Merry and Steve.

Do not trust Williams Homes to stand behind their warranty. I submitted a valid cabinetry repair…read morerequest well within the two-year fit and finish warranty. Their team acknowledged the issue, sent contractors to assess, and even took a cabinet door to match for replacement. The work stalled, and they never completed it. Deborah Correa, their VP of Warranty, was involved throughout the process but became increasingly unresponsive and dismissive. After years of follow-up, she suddenly claimed Williams Homes had no responsibility and referred me to an outside risk consultant who has done nothing to resolve the issue. This is a clear case of warranty mismanagement and a deliberate attempt to avoid accountability. All communication came from Williams Homes. They handled everything until I escalated the complaint. Now they are trying to rewrite the facts and shift blame. Save yourself the frustration. Their homes may look nice, but once you close, the support disappears.

Do not purchase from this builder. Our home has had 2 water leaks in the same exact spot. Each time…read morewe were given a short time line that has turned into months of headaches. On the most recent experience, the contractor hired to do the repair did not properly protect any landscaping and proceeded to set up scaffolds and remove stucco/building material and let it fall into the areas below. After this was all done, we were left with destroyed landscaping. Williams Homes said they would restore the damaged areas and did an about face when presented with the costs. They accused us of trying to upgrade our landscaping when we were just trying to get things cleaned up and restored to its previous state. They patch work is painfully obvious and they keep saying the materials need to "cure" and it will be less visible. That is not the case. The whole house is full of shortcuts and evidence of trades that cut corners just to get the job done quickly. The VP of warranty and quality assurance becomes unresponsive and ignores continuous emails. They do their best to get out of making you and your house whole despite all issues being traced back to poor craftsmanship/quality of work. These homes seem to be hastily and cheaply made but sold at a premium. I would avoid at all costs.

My history with Rubin Properties dates back to 2003, when I first became the President of my HOA…read more My building had been happily using them since previous to that year, but when I became President, I experienced all the reasons why. I grew to become particularly impressed with one of the company's property managers. She was quick to respond to my emails (most times, within several minutes), and would meet my high standards of detail orientedness by copying all involved parties, with every single detail answered, checked, included, balanced, and unquestionable confirmation that the job was DONE. She impressed me even more a few years later when one of our condo owners discovered a leak and we had to do mold remediation. Our insurance company denied the claim, and it was only after this property manager pushed and appealed that they finally conceded and covered ALL the costs incurred by this issue. She personally saved my HOA around $15k - a HUGE win. She also re-negotiated the contract for one of our monthly bills, saving us $1,700 per year. My Board was super impressed with her email on that subject, because we didn't even realize that contract was negotiable. Fast forward a few years, and who do you think bought & took over Rubin Properties completely? My favorite highly detailed property manager, who already had a history of saving us money and providing excellent customer service: Heather Miller. Since taking ownership of the company, Heather modernized with an upgraded website, automatic dues payments, & online access for my Board to view copies of any invoice or payment, anytime. She has used her own high standards as a baseline & has mentored and taught her current team well; all the property managers on her team have consistently given me & my Board excellent support in times of emergency or routine maintenance, for years now. I know that Heather drives her team hard to support clients' needs - and she also rewards their hard work with lunches, dinners and team-building escape room challenges (nice, right?!). Plus during this pandemic, keeping each team member safe & well has been a priority. It makes me even happier to know that Rubin Properties consistently does such a great job for my HOA and our building AND it's a woman-owned business with a healthy workplace culture that values their employees. My Board and I count on Heather, Cesar & the whole team for: Emergency response Routine maintenance Contract negotiation Conflict resolution between owners and/ or tenants Excellent vendor referrals Budgeting and detailed statements Advising us in hairy situations Annual tax prep Keeping our HOA practices legal and compassionate Special project advising & coordinating HOA-related legal advice ...and so much more The icing on this cupcake for me personally is knowing I can trust Heather's opinions when I need to make decisions, or when she guides my Board as we rewrite our CC&Rs. To me, knowing that a strong moral compass exists at the core of our property management company's ownership is priceless.
