Congratulations to Successful Home Seller’s Chris & My! - Whittier Real Estate Agent

Congrats to our sellers and friends Chris & My for successfully selling their home with our team!

Let us share with you Chris & My’s story, and how we help them sell their home for the highest amount in the complex in years at $32k over the previous highest sale.

The family was looking to sell because the mother-in-law wanted to be closer to the family. After interviewing multiple agent’s, they decided to list with Remo and team since they were the right fit to help them on their journey. After we formalized our relationship to sell their Pico Rivera home by signing a listing agreement, we were off to the races.

After some of our recommendations and services by some of our talented resources. The home was renewed with exterior and interior paint, recessed lighting, painted kitchen cabinets, new granite counter-tops, and landscaping in the front and backyard. Check here to see the before and after’s

After the home was ready, we provided our complimentary staging of all the rooms. The family spent a little under $10,000 and it took them about 4 weeks before putting the home on the market.

Our results… towards the end of the rehab, we ran two weeks of our Pre-Marketing to start the initial buzz of the home.  After a week on the market, we received 5 offers and we closed 28 days later for $16,000 over the list price and $32,000 over the highest price sale in the complex in years!

Chris and My’s full story is truly inspiring and it is our pleasure that they are now a part of our Team’s family.

Thinking about selling or buying, call/text 562-762-8581…We promise to roll up our sleeves and make some magic happen for you as well.

Welcome Jonathan to Home Ownership! - Whittier Real Estate Agent

We initially met Jonathan and his brother Ron during an open house late last year in Whittier. At that time, Jonathan wasn't quite ready to purchase and wanted to save up a little more for down payment. Our Rockstar Buyer’s Agent, Mary, stayed in touch with him over the months and before you know it, he got pre-approved and they were out there looking at properties together!

Mary and Jonathan saw a total of 11 homes and wrote offers on three of them. Although the first two offers didn’t work out, Jonathan didn’t get discouraged and kept moving forward. When Jonathan’s home came on the market, we knew we needed to act fast because it was what he was looking for. Mary got on the horn and set up an appointment to see the home the next morning prior to the open house that was scheduled the next day.
During the viewing of the home, that’s when all the coincidences started to come up! The first is, Jonathan spotted a photo on the wall which coincidentally looked like one of his coworkers. We asked the seller about the gentleman in the photo, and it turns out that gentlemen is a twin brother of someone that Jonathan works with! Jonathan just knew everything was lining up for him and so that same afternoon we wrote up the offer and submitted it to the listing agent (prior to her having an open house!)

Mary decided to take a drive to the open house to meet the listing agent in person so that she can continue building rapport on our buyer’s behalf. After a charming conversation (Ciaooo Mary) with the listing agent about local schools, it turns out… that listing agent is the mother of Mary’s niece’s best friend! Talk about small world! Fast forward a few days, Jonathan's offer was accepted, and after a quick 30 days escrow, Jonathan became a first-time home buyer fulfilling his dreams!

Thinking about buying or selling, call/text 562-762-8581... Coincidences may apply.

Congrats to Cindy for selling her home with Our Team! - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Cindy reached out to us a few months ago after following us on Social Media for a few years…Or in her words, a little stalking. ;)

After a brief text message conversation, we met Cindy at her home to go through her options. Shortly into our presentation, we had formalized our relationship [Sign a contract ;)] and went to work. Fast forward a week or two, Cindy had made all the small recommendations we gave her and we had our professional photographer at her home to take some killer pictures.

Shortly after we hit the market, Cindy had an offer accepted at the original list price. Fast forward 38 days later, we are outside of the home she just sold taking this picture. Thank you Cindy for being a Fan for the last few years, and allowing us to help you sell your first home. Next step, Upgrade in 2017!

Congrats to Jaime and Jessica for becoming homeowners last week! - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Jaime and Jessica came across one of our social media pages a few months ago, after seeing another one of our lovely families become homeowners.

Jessica reached out to us and shortly after a quick conversation, they met with Eduardo, from South Pacific Financial to see what their purchasing power was. Once approved for their loan, Jaime and Jessica were out that same weekend viewing homes with… the man, the myth, the Buyer’s Agent legend… Francisco.

The search started in Bellflower looking at “Fixers”, but after a fixer or two, they realized that they would like something a little more move-in ready than a fixer. Fast forward a few weeks of looking at about 20+ homes, Jaime and Jessica’s 3rd offer was accepted on their top choice with a killer large entertainers’ yard! Their Move-In ready house will be getting a “slight” make-over and will soon turn into their home.

Thank you to Eduardo for securing Jaime and Jessica’s and Francisco for being the Best Realtor Ever! Jaime and Jessica, thank you for reaching out to us and allowing us to be part of this milestone for you guys.

May your house soon be your home…. And then when it’s a home, we’ll be there for the Backyard Boogie!

Congrats to Vanessa, Ariana (The awesome daughter), and Derrick for becoming homeowners last month! - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Vanessa came across one of our social media pages months ago, but was working with another Realtor. We let her know that if anything changes, to give us a call and we left it at that. Fast forward a few months, Vanessa gives us a call and asked if we were able to help them.

When Vanessa reached out to us, she already had a home in mind, and it happened to be listed by agents that we had a good working relationship with. Mary, our rock star Buyer’s Agent hopped right on it, and Vanessa’s number one choice, was our main target. The home had multiple offers, but with a few good conversations and leveraging our good relationship, Vanessa’s offer was accepted!!

Our next milestone was our home inspections and appraisal, and after the inspector called out some peeling paint, Mary rolled up her sleeves a few times, and even cut her vacation short so she can make it back to help paint the damaged areas so Vanessa and Derrick can close on time. Mary, awesome job and way to go above and beyond to make it happen.

Thank you to Vanessa and Derrick for reaching out to us both times and allowing us to help you guys buy your first home. A huge THANK YOU to Vanessa for servicing our awesome country and the sacrifices you have given us. We applaud and salute you!

Congrats to Douglas and Karry for becoming homeowners last month! - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Doug and Karry came across one of our social media pages a few months ago, after seeing another one of our lovely families become homeowners.

Doug reached out to us and shortly after, attended one of our first time home buyer parties. Fast forward a week, and they had already met with Eduardo, from South Pacific Financial to see what their purchasing power was and to get pre-approved.

Once approved, they were off to the races with our buyer's specialist, Francisco. After a couple of weekends of viewing around 15 homes, Doug and Karry placed their first offer on a home that had a very similar floor plan to Doug’s parents’. After a well-packaged offer by Francisco, as well as a few conversation with the listing agent, Doug and Karry’s offer was accepted.

Thank you to Eduardo for securing Doug and Karry’s financing, Francisco for getting their first offer accepted, and to Doug and Karry for reaching out to us and allowing us to help you guys buy your first home.

Thank you also for coming out to our “Picture with Santa” Event, to our Holiday party, and for also bringing the energy at the party!! :)

Congrats to Luciano & Esmeralda for becoming home owners!! - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Luciano and Esmeralda reached out to us a few months ago after seeing one of our videos of us helping another family. Shortly after our initial conversation, they met with Eduardo with South Pacific Financial to talk about their buying power.

Fast-forward many weekends, viewing 40+ homes in about 4 different cities, and making about 10 offers in today's sellers' market with our buyer specialist Mary... Their day came where 2 offers that they wrote were selected and they got to choose which home to proceed with. Fast-forward 30 days, they received the keys to their new home in the exact neighborhood they wanted

Thank you to Luciano and Esmeralda for reaching out to us and allowing us to be part of this milestone for your family. A big thanks to Eduardo for securing their financing, a special thanks to Mary for making it all happen for them, and a high five to the selfie stick that held the iPhone when the tripod was forgotten at the office. :)

Also, it's Esmeralda's Birthday today... So, Happy Birthday Esmeralda!!!

Congrats to Justin and Monique for becoming homeowners last week - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Justin and Monique reached out to us a few months ago after reading some of our reviews on Yelp. Shortly after our initial conversation, Justin met with Eduardo Tarin with South Pacific Financial to secure his VA finances.

Fast-forward a few weekends, and about four offers later, their offer was accepted with our buyer specialist Mary Sandoval.

There is an awesome story behind why their offer was accepted and we would love to take the credit for this, but Justin gets all the kudos. The day Justin and Monique were scheduled to see this home with Mary, Justin didn't get a chance to go home and change, and came directly, wearing his uniform. The seller had a family member that served in the military as well, and as they say, the rest is history.

Thank you Justin and Monique for reaching out to us and allowing us to be part of this milestone for your family. A big thanks to Eduardo for securing their financing, a special thanks to Mary for making it all happen for them, and a high five to Joash for capturing the moment and putting together this awesome video. :)

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. ;)

A special thanks to Mary for helping the family find their home, and Eduardo for helping them secure the financing.
