Congrats to Zaki and Lelian for becoming homeowners again!!

Zaki and Lelian have been family friends for many years now, we first helped them about 10 years ago when they purchase their first home.

With a few new family additions, they needed a little more space. We connected them with one of our lender partners, Carmen Meraz with New American Funding to confirm what they would qualify for once again. The timing wasn’t right when they met initially (3 years ago), and they decided to stay in their current home for a couple more years.

This year-end, the timing was a lot better, and their search began! Carmen met with them again to update all their numbers and they were paired up with one of our amazing buyer's agent, Mary.

After viewing a few homes, they found one that would be the best fit for their growing family. After writing an offer with the home only on the market for two days, Mary was able to leverage one of our existing agent relationships to get their offer accepted and open Escrow!!!

Thirty days later, we are here at this special moment for the family. Thank you to Zaki and Lelian for allowing us to be part of this milestone for your family, and we can't wait for the housewarming!!!!

Special thanks to Mary for knocking it out of the park for Zaki and Lelian!!

Congrats to Luis and Erica for becoming Whittier's newest homeowners!!

Luis and Erica met us towards the beginning of the year at an open house in Whittier. The following week, Erica attended one of our homebuyers’ workshop to get educated on the Home Buying process.

Shortly after the workshop, they met with a lender to get a better sense of what they qualify for. Luis and Erica decided to save a little more before purchasing, so they would be in a stronger position once they became homeowners. We agreed to put the search on hold, and when they were comfortable with their savings, they would reach out to us.

Once ready got to that comfort point, they were ready to rock-n-roll with Francisco. Luis and Erica viewed about 15 homes, and saw their new home twice before making an offer. The first time was during the evening, so they had no light to properly see the exterior. They were set to view more homes towards the end of the week, and decided to put this home on the list again.

After that second look, they knew this home would be a good fit for their family and Francisco started the negotiation.

Fast forward 30 days, we are here at this moment. Thank you to Luis and Erica for allowing us to be part of this milestone for your family, and can't wait for the housewarming!!!!

A special thanks to Francisco for knocking it out of the park for Luis and Erica!!

Sergio & Lauren Are In The House! - WHittier Real Estate Agent

Congrats to Sergio & Lauren for Successfully selling their Whittier, California home, and purchasing a larger home with our team!

Sergio and Lauren first reached out to us after seeing us on a few different social media platforms. They had questions about selling their home and moving to a larger home that would better accommodate their growing family. Before starting the search, Sergio and Lauren needed to meet with a lender to make sure all their finances were in order when they come to purchase their new larger home. After Eduardo confirming their financing, Sergio and Lauren were ready to move forward with the sale of their home.

Ever though their home was market ready, we made a few small suggestion to really make the home pop when it hit the market. Sergio was able to get on those suggested items within a week, and we were then off to the races!

Once on the market, we started receiving offers and soon afterwards we were in escrow. During this time, our awesome buyer’s agent Mary, was helping them start their search to find a new home. Their search took them from Rancho Cucamonga, to Pomona, and finally in Fontana, which is where they landed.

Sergio and Lauren viewed about 20 properties, sent in offers on three different homes, and they got their offer accepted on the home they really loved! They are excited about spending their summers swimming in their pool, while admiring the awesome mountain view they have.

Thank you to Sergio and Lauren for allowing us to be a part of this milestone for your family, and we can’t wait for the housewarming pool party! A special thanks to Mary for really finding such an awesome home for Sergio and Lauren.

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!

Congrats To New Home Owners Michael & Alyssa!! - WHittier Real Estate Agent

Congrats to Michael and Alyssa De Leon for becoming New Whittier, California Homeowners!! 🏡💪

Michael and Aly came across our team a few months ago after seeing another family’s story on social media. Shortly after our first conversation, Michael and Aly came out to one of our Home Buyer Parties to get the educated they needed to start their home search.

A few days after our Home Buyer Party, they met with Eduardo Tarin to help secure their financing and get a sense of their purchasing power. However, before buying their home, Michael and Aly needed help sell another home first. 🏠

Once we were able to secure a buyer for their family’s home, Michael and Aly were off to the races with our Rockstar Buyer’s agent, Francisco Arroyo. Fast forward a couple weeks, Michael and Aly found a Move-In ready home that met all their needs and Francisco was able to get their offer accepted. 30 days later, we are here in front of their new home. 🏡 ✨

Thank you to Michael and Aly for allowing us to be part of this milestone for your family, and enchiladas and the spicy salsa!!!! 😋

A special thanks to Francisco for knocking it out of the park for Michael and Aly!!

Ron & Julie Are In The House!- WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Congrats to Ron and Julie Garcia for becoming Whittier's newest homeowners!!

Ron and Julie met us a few months ago at two separate open houses and completely hit it off with our awesome buyer's agent, Mary Sandoval. Fast forward a couple weeks, they attended one of our Home Buyers Workshop and we're off to the races.

Shortly after the workshop, they had viewed a handful of homes before they found "The One". On top of the house being a perfect fit, it was also decorated with a beach theme just like their daughter, Natalie loves. Mary knew she had her work cut out for her since their were 6 other offers in the home. So Mary used all her charm, skills, and tenacity to get the agent's attention. Couple that with Ron and Julie's killer letter, the sellers and their agent knew we would be the perfect fit.

Thank you to Ron and Julie for allowing us to be part of this milestone for your family, and can't wait for the housewarming pool party!!!!

A special thanks to Mary for knocking it out of the park for Ron and Julie!!

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.

Congratulations to Jeff and Nadia for Successfully Selling Their Home with our team! - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

We first met Jeff and Nadia about five years ago when we helped them buy their home. Fast forward a few years, and Jeff getting accepted into a PhD program in Utah, and this family needs to head East!!

Before we listed their home, Jeff and Nadia spent a week or two uncluttering/depersonalizing their home and making a few upgrades that we recommended. After the home was ready, Victoria came in with her designer eye and got the home staged to look like a million bucks.

The end result was 8 offers in the first 10 days, and us closing shortly after.

Thank you to Jeff and Nadia for reaching out to our team once again and allowing us to help you sell your home. We are excited about your move to Utah and wishes you all the best. A special thanks to our Title Officers, Juan and David, for jumping through hoops to get the deed recorded at the last few mins.

Thinking about selling, call/text Remo at 562-762-8581 and we will show you how our marketing efforts got Jeff and Nadia almost $20,000 above their listed price.

Congrats to Patrick and Leticia who successfully sold their home with our team last month - WHITTIER REAL ESTATE AGENT

Patrick and Leticia reached out to us in the beginning of February after seeing some of our buzz on Facebook and reading some of our Yelp reviews. After our initial meeting, the family decided we were the team to sell their home and signed the listing agreement that evening.

Patrick and Leticia spent a week or two decluttering/depersonalizing their home and took all our recommendations to make a few upgrades to the home before hitting the market. After the home was ready, Victoria came in with her designer eye and got the home staged to look like a million bucks.
The end result was 14 offers in the first 10 days, and closing on the sale of their home only took 27 days after it was listed.

Thank you to Patrick and Leticia for reaching out to our team and allowing us to help you sell your first home. We are excited about your future purchase over the next couple months and can't wait to pop another bottle of champagne when you guys get your keys.
Thinking about selling, call/text Remo at 562-762-8581 and we will show you how our marketing efforts generated 14 offers in the first 10 days.
