We Love Our Clients. See Some Of Their Stories…

I worked with Luis for a year searching for my first home. I made about 9 offers over the course of that year and finally in December 2010 went into escrow. I was not the easiest client to work with during the house hunt. I kept changing my priorities, and I even had ambivalence about staying in Southern California. I tried to keep my uncertainty from Luis because I didn’t want him to stop working with me, but eventually I divulged my angst: I couldn’t ask for more support from him. I used to kid him he was my realtor/therapist. Luis was never into the hard sell. Instead he was genuinely interested in helping me figure out what my needs were and then finding the right house. He listened. He took my interests and concerns into consideration every step of the way. I truly felt like we were partners with the same objective: to find me my dream home. I had many challenges with escrow: I bought a house that was a foreclosure with tenants and I had to get an investment property loan instead of an owner-occupied loan, even though I intended to live in the house. I know that escrow is difficult no matter what, but my situation was particularly challenging. Without going into tedious detail, I had problems with the escrow company and the mortgage lender, and Luis had my back every step of the way. I needed a lot of hand-holding, and Luis never wavered from guiding me through the process. Luis is incredibly knowledgeable and good at what he does. He knows the market, he knows the home purchase process, he knows all about buying foreclosures and short sales. And he’s incredibly service-oriented. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Luis!!!

It’s times like this I wish you could give 6 stars on Yelp. Luis is the Superman of realtors. I recently purchased my first home in the Oceanside area, which I discovered was an exercise in extreme stress and uncertainty. The house, while gorgeous on the outside, turned up with a number of issues during inspections. Luis told me when I should hold my ground, what I should budge on, and what I could reasonably expect from the sellers. Luis navigated me through the rough waters. He is a straight shooter, and won’t BS you just for a commission. There are a lot of moments in purchasing a home when you’re not sure who you can trust, but if you can have 100% trust in your realtor, then you can let them fight the tough battles for you. I never for a moment doubted that Luis was on my side. I work long hours, but he always made himself available to meet or chat for advice no matter what time I got off work. I honestly could not have made this purchase without his help. With a realtor of a lower caliber, I would have been lost at sea. I wish I could hire Luis as an agent to manage the rest of my life. Don’t underestimate the importance of having a good realtor. If you’re lucky, they won’t have to do much, but if you should wind up really needing them, you’ll drown without competent, professional help (that is my third and last “water” metaphor, thank you very much). Thank you Luis!!!!
