As it now turns out, I owe Seright Escrow 64 reviews! Once again they have gone "above and…read morebeyond" exceeding my expectations! As the developer of multiple condominium projects in Pasadena, they have represented my partners and I in 66 transactions with absolute professionalism and fairness to both the buyer and the seller. They have also represented me in the purchase and sale of my personal residences. The staff at Seright (particularly Diane and Linette) are patient beyond measure and are never too busy to sit down with the buyer or the seller to review the contracts, the escrow instructions and the loan documents. From new construction to historic homes with complicated title that goes back over 100 years, Seright Escrow will always be my first choice. P.S. The rumors that Diane has a twin named Gale that also works at Seright Escrow are completely unfounded. It is just that Diane does more work than any two people you can imagine and, as a result, many very satisfied clients believe that she must be hiding a twin somewhere!

My second experience with Abbe Dotson and Hearth LA was even better than my first, which was also…read morefantastic. We have been talking to Abbe for years about selling our sweet little Echo Park home that we had outgrown. Abbe was patient with us, supportive, found us an incredible property pre-listing, and collaborated extraordinarily well with everyone involved with our sale and purchase. We tripled our space and found a wonderful new home, and our sale went extremely well. Direct, clear in her explanations, and always on our side, Abbe was the consummate professional and partner from the first to last day of this experience. Buying and selling a home at the same time is double stressful, but the ease of working with Abbe made it absolutely manageable, and even sometimes enjoyable! I recommend her unequivocally.

Francine Biton from L34 Group is an incredible agent. She is patient and kind and extremely…read moreknowledgeable. Our particular circumstances were tricky. We are new to the states and there were extra hurdles to jump through as buyers. She guided us every step of the way and helped us find the perfect home. We wanted a 12 day close and she had to do so much heavy lifting to make that possible, but never once made it feel like a burden. She was incredibly supportive throughout the inspection period, organizing vendors and offering insights on things we hadn't considered. Even now that the deal is done she continues to support us by recommending people from her network to help with repairs. We feel very lucky to have gotten to work with her. I'd recommend Francine to every one of my friends and family looking to buy or sell in east LA.

We had an outstanding experience working with Francine Biton and the entire L.34 Group team to sell…read moreour home in Mt. Washington. The process was longer and more complex than a 'normal' sale. We first had to wait over six months for our tenant to vacate the property, and then the house needed extensive repairs, updates, and refreshing before it was ready for market. Throughout the entire process, Francine and her team were there every step of the way. One of the most impressive things was their network of trusted professionals. They connected us with excellent contractors, designers, flooring specialists, electricians, inspectors, and every other expert we needed. Everyone was professional, responsive, fast, and very reasonably priced. When our home was finally ready, the L.34 Group developed a strong marketing strategy and hosted multiple open houses that generated significant interest. Our house sold quickly, and we ultimately accepted an offer that was $130,000 over our asking price! Francine's expertise, communication, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome made all the difference. We couldn't be happier with the experience and would highly recommend Francine Biton and the L.34 Group to anyone buying or selling a home.

He walked through each house with us during open houses and other house visits and helped us determine the value of each home so we knew we were getting the most for our money. He was more than patient with our unending questions (we asked a LOT) and always did a great job of following up with the other party and being a true advocate and negotiator for us. We are in LOVE with our home - trust Albert to help you find yours!

These guys are great. I had been searching for 3 months in a very competitive market. My previous…read moreagent was waiting for me to propose places to look at and not sending me any recommendations. I lost out on a few and he wasn't giving me solid recommendations on offer prices. I changed to Roycroft's agent, Michael Collier, and within 2 weeks I was putting in an offer and had the place in less than 30 days. Michael spent a lot of time with me and made a lot of recommendations. Throughout the purchase process nothing was ever waiting on him. And after I bought my house he has followed up and provided recommendations on a contractor. Very helpful, professional, and always available.

David M. of Roycroft Realty has been my realtor of choice since June 2001. Over the last dozen…read moreyears, I have met several real estate agents; some of them were relatives, friends and relatives of friends, but none could match the services and work ethics that David provided and demonstrated. David has been always available for help. I can reach him by sms, email or mobile phone anytime. He's patient, cooperative and just a great guy all around. When I purchased my first home, I had just been out of college for five years and been tight on budget. David understood my situation and helped me all he could so that I could own my first home. Three years ago he helped me close a short sale property for investment that closed escrow smoothly. In June 2012, he helped me with an offer for a 4-unit investment property. The transaction was very complicated; it dragged on for seven months. His tenacity and positive attitude kept us in the game until we successfully closed the transaction on January 31, 2013. During the difficult time, David not only worked extremely hard, but offered great advice and encouragement. He never gave up. For his great work, I'm always grateful to David. Of course, I would recommend David to anyone who's interested in a partner for any real estate needs.

With Schwab's assistance, we purchased our first house in 2008 and have been lucky to refinance…read morerecently. I grew up in Pasadena, and have a number of friends that now live in the Pasadena area, and Schwab came highly recommended. As first time home buyers, it was very reassuring to work with both Paul and Jason on a mortgage loan. They are trustworthy and straightforward. The entire loan process from preapproval, inspection, to close of escrow went smoothly. We were able to refinance to a much lower rate this past spring. Again, the process was straightforward and easy. Paul even made special arrangements for us to sign our loan documents since our schedules couldn't match up. Our new rate saves us a decent amount each month, so it worked out well. The banking and mortgage industry has been heavily criticized after the crash in 2009. Paul and Jason are not those guys. They are honest, straightforward, and by the book mortgage brokers that you can trust.

Throughout all of these changes, Riegel Property Management has been consistently diligent and helpful. 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. I have had direct contact with a number of staff members and appreciate their immediate follow-through. It is easy for me to recommend Riegel Property Management.

I would not hire this company to manage any property whatsoever. I was a tenant in one of the…read morebuildings that they managed. 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. I give them an F for property management a101.

People: save your anger, frustration, blood pressure, TIME and sanity and go elsewhere!! First off, there is no parking for customers. Mainly street parking. Next comes the girl who sits in the front desk. She look as if someone just slapped her. Maybe with the never smile, boredom and I really don't want to be here look, maybe someone should. Who knows, maybe she just look that way but definitely shouldn't work the front desk. Not welcoming at all. Next comes the person handling our paperwork, Joan who seems nice but sorry to say is very incompetent and needs to retire. It's been 3 years and she has screwed up every single document plus addendum's every year she tries to fix it causing delays and after the end of the 3rd year going on 4th, assessors now say the the transfer process is not acceptable now and we have to redo the whole process again as the paperwork was already done wrong initially, forget the addendum's. This is just absurd!! I didn't pay for a service for them to waste my time and sanity and now cause more problems with city assessors!! Seriously, I am almost about the fight for a refund for wasting our time!! Not many reviews here but for the few with a single star, tells you something. Next stop is the BBB that I will be contacting. Who's with me?!
