Most if not all of my interactions be it over the phone or in person were with Sandra. She was always happy and professional and always asked how my young son was doing. If there was ever a maintenance issue, it was resolved either the same day or very next at the latest. Believe it or not I looked forward to dropping off my rent check because she and I would always talk for a few min about families, holidays etc. I moved out of the property due to the need for a bigger space. I think J and P and their staff are top notch in my opinion. Nick F.

I had the great fortune of choosing Rodman Amiri to represent me in purchasing my home in Newport…read moreCoast. Rodman is a true professional. He leaves nothing to chance by handling every aspect of the transaction himself never delegating a thing. His attention to detail is remarkable. He read through every document that was sent to us even the lengthy HOA documents. He caught an error on title that no one else saw. He also worked diligently with insurance providers to get me insured in time despite our short escrow. As a high value property in a fire risk zone this was a remarkable feat as anyone familiar with California home insurance can attest to. Rodman takes great pride in his work and knows how to negotiate the best deal possible while keeping both parties on good terms. He knew how to address each party's concerns in a calm manner that was reassuring to everyone involved. Attached is a photo of myself on the left and the seller on the right on closing day. As you can see, we both walked away from the deal very happy and I credit that 100% to Rodman's exceptional professionalism. I look forward to working with Rodman again when the time comes. Thanks for everything Rodman! You're the best!

I worked with Oscar Salazar as a buyer's agent on a Manhattan Beach property. Interestingly, I met…read morehim while he was canvassing to get the listing sold, and I ended up buying it! The whole process was a challenging one (not brought on by anything we could have controlled). Oscar stood by me, communicating each step along the way. He tolerated my anxieties that crept up, and did what he had to do to get the transaction done--always keeping my interests in mind. I would like to thank him for being a hardworking, honest buyer's agent and helping me buy a home that I am very excited about. If it weren't for Oscar, I never would have known about the property, as I wasn't even considering Manhattan Beach as an option. Funny how life works!

From our very first consultation call, my wife and I knew this team would be the ones to get the job done and would go above and beyond to represent us in a highly competitive real estate market. There was never any pressure from them. We could move as fast or as slowly as we wanted, and they respected our pace every step of the way. They were always available and accommodating when it came to showings and open houses. What we appreciated most was their honest and insightful opinions about the properties we toured -- details that only experienced realtors would notice, and things you might never even consider as a first-time home buyer. They are always available to hop on a call and quickly respond to texts for any question (trust me we had a lot). When we finally found a home we loved, they walked us through the offer process and helped us craft a competitive offer that allowed us to stand out. Escrow was completely stress-free, as they arranged inspections and coordinated everything so seamlessly. There was a small hiccup the day before our closing -- through no fault of this team whatsoever -- but they were immediately on top of it, working swiftly with our lender, escrow agency, and insurance agent to ensure we closed right on schedule. We are extremely grateful for the care, dedication, and guidance the team at Hirano Homes provided throughout the entire process. I highly recommend working with them, and I am so glad we did -- because we ended up with the perfect home for us!

This was extremely helpful as I was not as familiar with the area compared to my husband or them. Mia was our main point of contact and helped us schedule tours and answer any questions we had about properties or the home buying process in general. Mia was amazing and called the listing agents within a day of us sending her the listings and was able to schedule tours within the next day or two. She goes above and beyond and would visit the property prior so she can point things out to us when we walk through. If that wasn't possible, she would extensively research it and ask the listing agent about it to make sure she was well-informed and able to answer all our questions. We were first-time homebuyers and everyone at Hirano Homes - Mia, Derek, Rojo - made the process so seamless. It moved very quickly, but they made it easy and manageable for us. We would definitely work with them again and highly recommend them to others!!

When I was convinced the house wouldn't sell during a pandemic, Al quickly adapted to the new safety guidelines, continued business, and we closed in about 60 days or so. This spring, during a slower market, uncertain economic times, and a complicated situation with a tenant, he helped me sell my parents' triplex rental property. Selling real estate can be stressful, but having the right realtor makes all the difference. Al has been a pleasure to work with. He's attentive, patient, and takes the time to understand each client's needs and preferences. He went above and beyond, even getting up on the roof to cover a vulnerable area as a precaution, and because the roof was at the end of its life, he advanced funds so I could replace it. A storm with strong wind and heavy rain hit shortly after the work was completed, and I was truly relieved to have the new roof in place. I can't thank him enough for that support. Throughout the process, Al was my advisor and steady support. He guided me through the barrage of documents, rules, laws, and processes of real estate transactions, and helped me stay calm whenever I felt overwhelmed. It was reassuring to know I wasn't navigating everything alone. I also relied on Al to negotiate confidently on my behalf and to help me hold out for a stronger outcome than I would have accepted on my own. Al is courteous, professional, and highly experienced, and I trust him to work in his clients' best interest. If you value honesty, integrity, respect, and genuine care in a real estate agent, I recommend Al without hesitation.

I just went down with another inspector we hired to find a failed foundation; the inspector and realtor negligently misrepresented the property's condition and passed when it should have not been. We also had the gas company come out to tell us that there has been carbon monoxide leaking on water heater. Someone needs to be held accountable this is so wrong and will make sure it does not happen to anyone else. I wanted to post a picture, but it is not letting me. Feel free to reach out to me. You would be so shocked to see how the house foundation was passed by inspector and their excuse is they could not see. So it is not their problem which is the response we got from realtor and inspector. Century 21 do better this is wrong by all means and I am a customer of Century 21.

My mother-in-law was in the middle of a divorce and needed to sell the marital home. None of us had ever been through the home-selling process before, and we were overwhelmed, anxious, and hoping to find a realtor we could genuinely trust.

She spoke with confidence, knowledge, and compassion, reassuring us that we were in capable hands and she absolutely delivered on that promise! Given of the unique circumstances surrounding our sell, we had obstacles but throughout the entire process, Mina consistently advocated for our family's best interests. She handled every challenge with professionalism and determination, always going above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, she was able to successfully complete the sell of our home in a timely manner while protecting our interests every step of the way.

But Bindu will clearly walk you through all the steps before it happens. She will also guide you through as well as it happens. The fact that she has been doing this for a long time and has been familiar among the real estate group, definitely gives an edge when it comes to offer approvals etc. She went over and beyond in helping us for all the house related repair recommendations, when to do what to do, whom to call etc. I will strongly recommend her to any one considering buying/selling homes.

I've spent 6 months trying to resolve a parking issue at one of JRealty's properties, and the…read moreexperience has been incredibly frustrating. Management admitted in writing that another tenant was given a second parking space in error on their lease. They also admitted they recommended removing that space because it was causing problems. The vehicle associated with this improperly assigned parking space occupies an area that is not identified as a parking spot on the parking map that was provided to me by management. Instead of being parked in a designated space, the vehicle extends into the common driving and maneuvering area tenants must use to access their assigned parking spaces causing daily risk damage to my vehicle. Whats even more revealing about this company is how the issue was handled! I repeatedly raised concerns that the parking arrangement could present code, safety, or fire access issues. Rather than addressing the problem directly, I was told management was waiting on city inspection results and that those results could affect the outcome. Months later, I was informed that the inspection they had me waiting for was actually a habitability inspection and that the specific parking location I had been complaining about was not one of the spaces that was evaluated. Think about that! I was led to believe the inspection would address my complaint, only to later find out that the disputed parking space had never been reviewed at all. I spent months waiting for inspection results that never actually addressed the parking issue at the center of the dispute. Even after admitting the parking space was assigned in error, admitting the situation was problematic, and acknowledging that the disputed space wasn't evaluated during the inspection, management still has not provided a meaningful solution. I have attached screenshots of the emails so people can read the correspondence and draw their own conclusions. Based on my experience, get everything in writing. Keep every email, save every photograph, and document every interaction. The only reason I was able to uncover the inconsistencies in management's explanations was because I maintained a complete paper trail. Without it, this would have been reduced to my word against theirs.
