Claudia Chan

Helped me rent a Condo home in Playa del rey, Playa del rey, CA.

My best friend referred me to Sarah when my boyfriend and I were looking to relocate to California from New York City. Sarah is very friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. When we had our initial conversation about looking to rent, she was very transparent about taking the time to research which areas/neighborhoods that we would be interested in before seeing any of the listings. During our visit, she was available to show us some listings and I thought she really asked the right questions. She was also very on top of our requests like reaching out about pet deposit/fees and scheduling showings. She made us feel very taken care of too because we were new to renting and working with an agent. We did eventually find our home to rent with her help and she made sure to read through the rental agreement for any errors or mistakes. It was a smooth process and overall, we were very happy with our experience and highly recommend her!

Helped me rent a Apartment home in Alhambra, CA.

Sarah made apartment hunting so much fun and hassle-free! She was very responsive and supportive throughout the whole process. Sarah provides a wealth of knowledge in terms of comparative leasing comps, negotiating, and overall application progress. Lastly, I never met any other agent that emits as much genuineness and compassion as she. I highly recommend her as an agent for leasing or buying!

Brandon is so positive, supportive, and responsive to any and all my needs in the entire process of looking and buying a new home. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable about the market and procedures, thoughtful, and made excellent recommendations every step of the way. Honestly, he went above and beyond my expectation! I feel very confident with Brandon. I appreciate that he helped me to analyze what I need together, and find the perfect place for my partner and I.
