Congrats to James & Laurie for getting the keys to their first home last week! - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

**(We tried the best we can with the sound... the bonus slow mo shot starts at 2:29) :)

James and Laurie reached out to us a few months ago after finding us on Facebook. Shortly after, they joined us at our Home Buyer Party where they immediately hit it off with our buyer specialist Mary.

Fast forward a month or two, viewing about 20+ home, and writing about 5 offers... Their offer got accepted. We always aim for a 30 day escrow, but sometimes things come up that are outside of our control.

In this case, there were a few issues that Mary was able to power through with the other agent. At the end, keeping focus on the main goal is the most important thing… And with Mary's diligent work, we are able to take this picture in front of James and Laurie's new home.

Thank you James and Laurie for reaching out to us, attending our home-buyer party, and allowing us to help you buy your first home. We're also so excited for you guys and the new addition to the family that should be here any day now.

 

Congratulations to Jose, Andrea, Penelope, and Juliet for getting the keys to their first home today! - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Jose and Andrea reached out to us a few months ago, after seeing one of our homes that was for sale. Shortly after that conversation, they met with Eduardo Tarin with South Pacific Financial to see what their purchasing power was. After a few months of searching, viewing about 25 homes (in Fullerton, Brea, Diamond Bar, Placentia, and La Habra) and writing about 10 offers... The seller of their number one choice accepted their offer with our buyer's specialist, Mary.

If buying a home isn't stressful enough… Andrea decided to spice things up and have a baby a week before closing. ;)

Thank you Jose and Andrea for reaching out to us and allowing us to help you buy your first home. We are glad that Penelope has her own room, and she was happy with one of Mary's home. ;)

Congrats to our seller & friend Rita for successfully selling her home! - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Let me share with you Rita’s story, and how we got to this moment of her closing on the sale of her home for $17,000 above the listed price.

After a few small bumps in the road (Nothing that Rita couldn’t handle), Rita decide that she wanted to move to Arizona to be closer to family. Rita’s sister, who recently purchased in AZ, raved about her Realtor and strongly recommend him to Rita. That Arizona Realtor is John Ferrence.

Fast forward a few weeks and John starts his search for a local Whittier Realtor. After a quick interview with our team, John knew we would be a great fit for Rita. After we formalized our relationship to sell her Whittier home by signing a listing agreement, we were off to the races.

Originally, Rita wasn’t too interested in having her home staged because she didn’t want to deal with moving some of her heavy items. However, with a long conversation with us, and another with her Arizona realtor, she had a change of heart.

We staged Rita’s home and listed it for $490,000, and within a week, we were in contract for $507,000 and closed 30 days after. The moving company has already pick up all of Rita’s items and she will be on her way to AZ later this month.

Rita’s full story is truly inspiring and it is our pleasure that she is now part of our Team’s family.

 

Congratulations to George, Maria, and their two daughters for becoming homeowners last Friday - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

George and Maria reached out to us two months ago, after seeing another one of our lovely clients become first time homeowners. Right after that initial call, George came to one of our first time home buyer workshop to learn more about the home buying process with our team.

Shortly after, they met with Carmen Meraz from Platinum Home Mortgage to see what their purchasing power was. After two weekend of showings (15+ homes) with our superstar buyer's specialist, Mary Almada, the family got their offer accepted on their number one choice.

As we were getting ready to leave, Maria shared a few stories about the girls' first weekend in their new home.

First story, was how much her two girls have been enjoying their own rooms for the first time ever. Each decorated their own way, showing off their own personalities.

The second-story, they shared was about their first experience going out and enjoying the space in the front yard and being able to run around.

It's pretty neat to sell a house, but it sure is awesome to see you become a home.

Thank you George and Maria for reaching out to us, and allowing us to be part of such a special moment for you guys.

 

Congratulations to Andre and Araceli for successfully selling their home with our team - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Andre and Araceli reached out to us months ago after seeing us online. We were one of three realtors that they met with, but after seeing our marketing plan, they decided to move forward with our team.

After our initial meeting, Remo and Victoria (Our Interior Designer) met with Andre and Araceli at the property to go through a few things that needed to get done before placing the property on the market. Shortly after, Victoria was back to stage the property so our professional photographer (Vidal) could take some killer pictures.

Within a few weeks, Andre and Araceli had 7 offers to choose from, and we were in escrow shortly after. Fast-forward 28 days, we are here today celebrating the sale of their first home.

Thank you to Andre and Araceli for reaching out, and trusting us to get you Top Dollar for your home (Sold for what we said we would sell it for). We now look forward to helping you find your new larger home.

Congratulations to Geoffrey and Kristin for becoming the homeowners a few weeks ago! - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Congratulations to Jesus and Silvia for becoming homeowners last week - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Jesus and Silvia reached out to us four months ago and knew exactly what they were looking for. They needed a home that had a large enough lot that can accommodate a second unit for their in-laws. After Josh's great help, Jesus and Silvia were able to find a home in their desired city with a lot of almost 10,000 Sq. Ft. so they can build an additional unit.

The transaction was a little more challenging than usual, but with everyone's focus on the end goal, we are here today giving them keys.

A big thanks to Josh who made it happen, Carmen for securing the financing, and Jesus & Silvia for giving our team the opportunity to make this happen.

Thinking about buying or selling, call or text Remo at 562-762-8581.

Congratulations to Karla for becoming a homeowner Last Month - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

After a month or two of working with two other realtors and never actually going out to view properties, Karla decided a change was needed. After hearing Karla’s story, our goal was to get Karla to view several properties so she can get a better sense of what is available at her price range.

After a couple of showings, Karla made an offer on a condo and she got her offer accepted. However, after meeting with the lender again, Karla realized that the monthly payment was not in her budget.

With only one income stream and paying for her daughter's college tuition, Karla decided to cancel the deal and start the search again because the home was above her budget.

After a month of searching, Josh noticed the same condo still on the market and decided to prepare another offer at a price that would fit Karla's budget. With her offer, we also wrote a letter explaining Karla's situation and why she decided to cancel. After many calls, emails, and conversations, the seller decided to accept our offer for a second time… this time for $8,000 less than her original offer.

A big thanks to Josh who made it happen, Chris for securing the financing, and Karla for giving our team the opportunity to make this happen.
