Not everyone has the answers to all your questions, but he made you feel secure that he will go find those answers if he didn't know it. We would highly recommend his services and wouldn't hesitate to use him again in any future transactions. I not only have a real estate broker now, but also a friend.

His advice and suggestions during the recent process made the transaction essentially effortless on my part. Ray coordinated everything: a light touch-up of the property with a handyman, had it staged beautifully, then finally worked his contacts for advance previews. The results paid off. In a challenging market, we fielded multiple offers with several over-asking. Westside RE buyers can be finicky and make last minute changes, but Ray handled that with grace and patience. His 5 stars are well earned!

Rene Garcia is one of the most genuine, hard working, honest people I've ever met. His knowledge as a realtor brought my partners and I up to speed on so much we weren't aware of. He is constantly looking for the perfect match, and really took the time to fully understand our needs. He showed up to every appointment on time and went out of his way on several occasions to go above and beyond what any realtor has ever done for us in the past. He truly lives by his title. He loves his work and lives to love and it clearly shows. It was an honor to work with him. And I look forward to doing it again when we're ready to move on to our next home or commercial property.

Rene is spectacular.

He was quick, concise, thorough, and timely in all of his communication. He did exactly what he said he would do and more. You may think you just need a realtor for a one time home buy, but if you understand Rene's abilities, then you will seek him out as a partner for anything and everything in real estate. Truly blessed that he was our realtor for our first home. He has set the standard very high.

He was very informative about the market and the areas that would best match ours needs. Since our home for over 40 years was in the SF Bay Area, we needed a lot of help. Josh took the time to understand our needs and he found our dream home the first time we came down to view houses he had selected based on our wish list. He was with us every step of the way through the purchase process, negotiations, every inspection, financing, etc. After closing the sale he helped us find contractors to do the work needed and checked to be sure we were satisfied with the work. Even a year after the purchase he still checks in with us and refers us to local resources. Josh's personalized approach shows a genuine care and support that is much more than just a business transaction. We have and will continue to refer other people to work with him on their real estate transactions. Thanks so much Josh! You're the best.

Upon first meeting, he was very knowledgable, kind, and patient with us as we continued our journey towards home ownership. As we struggled to find suitable land in Los Angeles, we decided to pivot to a townhome and continue to work with Ryan. He was always super helpful sending us listings and giving us knowledge about local areas. He was the perfect balance of professional and not super aggressive like most agents could be. He gave us enough air to breath while figured out what we wanted in a home but was there for any help that we needed. When we found our dream home he did everything he could to make the process smooth for us and at our close was super kind and set up a "Congrats" sign for us and gifts upon our arrival. :) We definitely recommend him as an agent and when we or if we decide to move onto another home we'll definitely reach out to use his services again!

It was evident he had our best interest in mind and was a strong advocate for us as well. We had walked into the process knowing VERY little about what it took to purchase a home. I'm appreciative that Johnny and his team were knowledgeable and extremely patient with all the questions we had along the way as we got familiar with the process - we had a ton of questions! Johnny's experience and network facilitated the process so much as well. He was able to offer great recommendations and leads for everything that was needed to get the process completed such as lenders and home inspection agencies, yet he was very respectful and we never felt pressured to go with those recommendations, although we ended up going with most of his recommendations which were great! I felt like Johnny was extremely attentive to our needs (and our pups' needs!) and our preferences which definitely helped us find the right home quickly. Throughout the process, Johnny gracefully took on much of the leg work behind the scenes to make our participation in the process as easy as possible, and he made us feel so confident along the way. Most importantly, Johnny was someone we genuinely enjoyed being around and getting to know, which is important given how much contact is made with your realtor. I would happily recommend Johnny to family and friends and I am very much looking forward to working with him in the future.

Communication was great along the way and Steve (their transaction manager) does an amazing job at making sure that all required documents are completed when they're supposed to.

If I could give Sam Andress and Ethos Advisors 10/10 stars I would!…read more I cannot say how grateful I am to have met Sam during my real estate search and the purchase of my first home! Honestly, buying a house is not an easy task especially in such a competitive market as Los Angeles. I was searching for well over 6 months and worked with multiple real estate agents that didn't take the initiative to help me find a home and execute on my goals of closing something immediately (before interests went up). Searching for a home is already stressful, but to realize after the fact, the home buying process is very complicated and requires so much more work in order to close. Thank goodness for Sam! My first home purchase could have been a lot more complicated, and I am certain that if I wasn't working with Sam, it would've been a long drawn out process that would've taken forever to close (or not close at all) and require a lot more effort such as negotiating, scheduling calls with multiple parties, inspections, appraisals, loan verification, etc. I am thankful that Sam is a master at his craft and understands exactly how everything works and what he needs in order to make the best possible experience and smooth transaction for his clients. We closed in 30 days! Incredible! Simply incredible! Sam is not only a real estate broker, but also a mortgage broker which allowed me to work with one person on both the purchase and the mortgage. I got an awesome rate! Sam was super responsive, engaged, provided all the facts and details to allow me to make a decision on every aspect of the terms for both the home purchase and mortgage. It was very easy to work with Sam and he explained everything to me to ensure I understood each step of the process. Not only, Sam has a wonderful team behind him to support you throughout the entire journey! You can be well assured that you'll have people working to get you across the finish line and closing smoothly without any hiccups whatsoever. Lastly, I remember vividly looking back hindsight, being new to Los Angeles and a first time home buyer during the home inspection process I would've had to research, contact and schedule different professionals to complete the inspection. How stressful that would've been! Sam made it easy! He has his entire network and team of trusted professionals ready to help out. Going through that experience I realized and understood the true value of working with the best. Working with Sam gave me peace of mind. Overall, my experience buying my first home was incredible and very much memorable, a blessing indeed because of Sam! I am so STOKED and happy to be a homeowner! Thank you so much, Sam! I have no doubts I will be working with Sam in the future and will be referring anyone I know that is searching for a home. Sam is a trusted advisor, a hard working professional and the very best broker in Los Angeles!

We were referred to Sam and from day one he was super responsive, easy to chat with and he gave us insightful advice about what to expect from the whole process. He gave us advice on what to look for at open houses and what to pay attention to when researching homes online. His input also helped us narrow down the locations we were researching and a reasonable price range we could afford based on our pre-approvals. When we started making offers, we could have easily been overwhelmed by the process and all the nuances of offers and counteroffers. We felt like Sam was truly looking out for our well-being and helped us avoid some bad situations, especially in this crazy market (2021). When we got an offer accepted, Sam was so responsive and helped us prepare everything we needed to get through escrow without a problem. He simplified complicated contract language and made us feel at ease. We even closed a few days early! Overall, we felt comfortable with Sam through the whole process. He helped us get answers to tough questions, negotiated when we needed him to, and really helped us avoid making bad decisions. He was also our agent and lender which made it a one-stop shop for us. Sam's become a friend to us and we'll be celebrating with him at our house warming party. Highly recommend working with him!
