ZillowVERIFIEDApril was great to work with and really helped guide us through the whole home-buying process. This was our first time buying a home, so we had plenty of questions, and she was always really helpful about breaking everything down and making things easy to understand. Were really thankful we had her throughout the process and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an agent.

ZillowVERIFIED April was fantastic to work with. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and uncertainties, but she made the entire process easy. She was very involved and knowledgeable. She was easy to reach annd was quick to respond. Knowing that I could rely on her relieved much of my stress. She advocated on my behalf to protect my interests always. I'm very happy with my home and I'm grateful to have had an agent who cares and that I trust

ZillowVERIFIED April is very professional yet very personable really going out her way to ensure I fully understood and was included/informed at every step of the process. She is very precise/ pertinent and was able to mobilize and execute with her knowledge and reliable network. She really went above and beyond to make sure all parties were taken care of. While I live in Virginia she was able to be my eye, ears and voice in California during this process allowing me to remain home where I'm most needed and close on an amazing deal with zero time or resources wasted or misused. April is 10/10 , I highly recommend! Truly an amazing person.

ZillowVERIFIED April was referred to us by a friend, and we couldnt have asked for a better realtor as first-time home buyers. From our very first call, she provided clear guidance on the process, which immediately helped us feel more comfortable navigating what can otherwise feel overwhelming. What really stood out was how open, empathetic, and never pushy she was. She truly took the time to understand what we were looking for and made sure we felt confident at every step. Her background and experience (including her legal expertise) gave us an added level of trust, especially when it came to making important decisions. April was also incredibly communicative; always responsive to our questions, whether it was early in the morning or late at night. During tours, negotiations, and even throughout the inspection process in escrow, she consistently advocated for us and made sure our best interests were front and center. At the end of the day, she was absolutely the right choice for us, and we genuinely loved working with her. We would highly recommend April to anyone, especially first-time buyers.

ZillowVERIFIED April is incredibly flexible and dedicated. We started our home search with a tight deadline, unsure if it was even possible to find our dream house, but April made it happen. One example that really stood out: after a full day of showings, we sent her four more listings at 10pm on a Saturday. She somehow made it all happen for Sunday. What stood out the most is how calm she remains throughout the process. Whenever I found myself spiraling, she kept us grounded and reassured. April is exactly the kind of trustworthy partner you want by your side during a house-hunting journey.

ZillowVERIFIED April did an amazing job helping us find aEURoethe one,aEUR? and her tenacity and stellar negotiating skills got the deal done. In the emotional journey of home buying you want to be confident your realtor is always on your team. It was a relief to never worry about this with April. Her clear communication ensured we knew what was happening, why it was happening, and that our goals were always the focal point. She was laser focused on our wishes and best interests. Her transparency with us confirmed she was advocating for us every step of the way. Her research into potential properties, and ultimately the home we purchased, was impressive. Even when a few issues came up during escrow she helped us keep a level head, showed us that she had our backs, and helped us turn hiccups into opportunities. The process was as seamless as possible. I cant imagine going through this with anyone else. We found our realtor for life!

ZillowVERIFIED We are so glad to have April as our agent for the purchase of our home. She made the process a lot less stressful. She is very knowledgeable, communicative and understanding as we got cold feet a couple of times during the process. She made sure we understood all the paperwork and that we were on-time to meet the deadlines. She was supportive and provided us all the information we need to make a decision confidently and independently. We definitely recommend Aprils services to anyone looking to buy or sell!

ZillowVERIFIED April is hands down the best realtor! She went above and beyond! We would not have gotten the house we wanted had it not been for her. She will make you feel heard and understood while at the same time offering her expertise and guidance. April uses her knowledge of real estate and negotiation skills as a lawyer to fiercely advocate for her clients. Above all, she is genuinely a good person. She will treat you more like family than a client, and you will see very early on, she has your best interest at heart. Having someone like her in your corner during such a life changing process is priceless. Thank you, April!

ZillowVERIFIED Highly recommend April! She helped my mom and I purchase a duplex property in LA county. I live out of state and my mom lives in LA. Even though I was not there physically during the process, it was easy commuicate with her via text and phone. We video chatted during showings and she recorded videos of homes for us too. She helped us every step of the way. Couldn't have asked for a better realtor. She is supportive, knowledge and reliable!

ZillowVERIFIED April helped my brother and I find tenants for our home. She listed the home professionally and was able to get our home on various rental websites, which was great! She provided recommendations before listing the home and advised us on whether prospective applicants would be good tenants. She's fast and quick to respond. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend April!

ZillowVERIFIED April is very professional, smart, courteous and really hold our hands to go through this process of selling our house. She's always around when we have questions and when we had difficulty in understanding some documents that has to be signed. We always pray to have a realtor who we can trust and April gave us 110% of what we prayed for. We're thankful for all she has done to sell our property in smooth selling. We sold our house and gain a friend. Thank you April.

ZillowVERIFIED April, was absolutely amazing. She wasnt just our realtor, she quickly became our friend. She answered all of our questions, protected our deposit, and made us feel very comfortable. We could text April any time and even joke with her in the fun group chat. It was really quite a fun experience to have when you are working on something that has the potential to be very stressful. We lived all the way in Pasadena but that didnt stop her from taking the time to come all the way out here to help us find our dream home. We will definitely be using April again on our next home and we cannot recommend her enough!!

ZillowVERIFIED April is amazing! She really listened to what I was looking for and helped me find that without pressuring me to buy something that wasnt what I wanted. She is patient, knowledgeable, thorough, and always on top of everything. I have had a lot going on so it was especially important to have someone who could take care of things and make it as easy as possible for me. She helped us sell my fathers home after he passed and helped me buy my new condo and if I had any other real estate needs, Id go to her in a heartbeat.

ZillowVERIFIED April was amazing throughout the entire process. It?s a very stressful process, but April definitely helped making it nice, easy and smooth. She takes care of you and explains every little thing. If she can?t answer your questions, at that moment, I could assure you she always delivers. She?s never guessing, or has lazy responses. April wasn?t only great with me, she was amazing and great to everyone we came in contact with. Making the experience so pleasant and positive. I don?t feel like any of my questions or concerns went unanswered throughout my journey. I am very satisfied and extremely happy!

ZillowVERIFIED April was amazing to work with. She first wowed us with her ability to communicate clearly and effectively, making everything straight forward for us as first time home buyers. We just clicked instantly in our search. April was not just working for us as a realtor, but rather she was truly a partner in the home buying process - she was proactive in providing us listings, she listened to our feedback and needs for each, and even commuted as necessary several times in a day. She was patient with us throughout the entire process, answering any and all silly questions. In the offer phases, she negotiated on our behalf with our true interests in mind. We definitely thank her for putting us through the experience with no pain whatsoever - landing us a house were now happy to call home!

ZillowVERIFIED No one will work harder on your behalf and to make the vision of your next home come true than April. She is insanely fast at responding, honest and flat out fun to visit homes with. Prior to April, we were working with an experienced realtor from a reputable real estate company, and we simply felt like a checkbox on that realtors to-do list. We couldnt be happier that we made the switch to April. Between her unique skill set and the collective experience and knowledge at Grate Real Estate, we went into our home purchase with no doubt that we were making the right decision.

ZillowVERIFIED I am so lucky April was my realtor. Prior to working with April, I was not sure how one realtor could vary from another. I had purchased and sold two homes in the past and all of my realtors did their job and I had no complaints. After working with April, however, I now understand the real difference in having a GREAT realtor and how ones qualifications can make a huge impact on the financial and legal aspects of the deal. I wish I had someone like April on me previous real estate deals. The first thing I learned this time around is that negotiation skills are critical when buying and selling a home. April is a lawyer who negotiates regularly and actually has significant training in negotiation. Her negotiation skills were invaluable throughout my entire deal. As we encountered issues with the opposing party, April was able to resolve everything with the most favorable terms for me and my husband. April is focused, dedicated to YOU (not a commission), and thinks ahead about tiny every detail and how she can further your interests. She always answers her phone immediately and works endlessly to make the process smooth and easy. She takes on ALL of the work that needs to be done behind the scenes and puts nothing on you. Her experience as a lawyer and her hardworking personality makes her more valuable than any other realtor on the market. She saved us several times throughout the transaction by protecting our earnest money deposit. I have worked with someone that is so dedicated, hard- working, and responsive. As a bonus - April works for a great company who supports her approach to putting the clients interests first. April and Aaron at Grate Real Estate are experienced, compassionate, and caring. They do not pressure you or expect anything from you. They are patient and understanding. They only care about making you happy and protecting your interests. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone buying or selling. Give April a chance and you will quickly learn the importance of having a great realtor. Thank you so much April (and Aaron) for everything you did for us! We are so appreciative! I will never use anyone else.

ZillowVERIFIED April is the gold standard in Real Estate. We came to April about 2 months into the buying process. The minute we started looking for a house with April, everything fell into place. What sets April apart from ordinary realtors is Aprils impeccable business acumen and her effortless ability to cultivate relationships with agents, sellers, neighbors, mortgage lenders, and people alike. She is a student of the industry and her willingness to advocate for her clients knows no bounds. On top of that, shes also an attorney - her legal skills were instrumental when a seller refused to sign a cancelation! Overall, April (as well as her team) instills confidence and trust, making our home buying journey stress free. We highly highly recommend April.

ZillowVERIFIED April knows her business. She was careful to ensure we were notified of every occurrence and to make sure we understood what all the ramifications were. When we were in escrow, she was always available to help us through the paperwork and answer all our questions. She was prompt and kept the process moving. All those things, and a cheerful, comfortable rapport, as well. Couldnt have asked for better.
