After almost two years of searching for an apartment, I was lucky to stumble on one that was being handled by Dora! Her kindness, patience and professionalism made the whole two year search worth the wait. Dora not only went out of her way to show me the place several times, but she answered a plethora of questions, communicated readily with me and the landlord, and was proactive in identifying issues I would not even have forseen. Her expertise and knowledge made the whole process of finding a home pleasant instead of overwhelming! And, on top of all that, she's an absolutely lovely person! I highly recommend Dora for your housing needs in our wonderful urban jungle.

Dora is the best real estate agent I could have hoped for. She is an absolute professional - but also warm and understanding. Dora was my agent when I purchased my dream condo in Redondo Beach and was there for me when I had to sell it due to my health. Admittedly, I am not the easiest client. I read, questioned and attempted to modify every contract and document that came my way. Dora was always patient with me and supportive of my requests yet she did not hesitate to provide her professional advice while helping me see the larger context. When we were in the last stages of planning the sale in early 2025, Dora faced a personal tragedy. She lost her home in the Palisades Fire. I dont know how she did it, but Dora continued to work just as hard through the next weeks. Remarkably, with me already relocated to Northern California, she single-handedly ensured the condo was market ready as we planned and secured a contract within days of listing. Escrow went smoothly and I'm certain everyone involved in the transaction was as happy to work with Dora as I was.

Dora was an amazing agent to work with for buying our first home. She is so personable! She was very responsive to texts and emails and dropped everything to show us a property we were interested in, any time of day. She also was very hands on and frequently communicating with the selling agents to get our needs met. We would definitely recommend her!!!

Ive worked with many realtors, both as a project manager for a construction company as well as on a personal level. No one compares to Dora when it comes to: -Honesty -Loyalty -Eagerness to help To me thats worth the world. If youre looking for a shark, someone wholl do anything for a buck, then Dora isnt for you. But if you want an agent whose word you can trust without ever doubting whose interest they have in mind, an agent who will stay up late to make sure the paperwork is done right, or someone you can ask millions of questions and theyll never make you feel like youre wasting their time- then DORA is your home. Our last experience with Dora was a purchase we did while I was abroad with a time difference of over 10 hours. Without Dora it would have fallen apart many times, but she was the connecting thread that held the purchase together- late at night and early before the sunrise. And all the while doing it with a smile, cordially, and unapologetically Dora. This was the 2nd property we purchased with Doras help. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about my experience with Dora.

My husband and I had a great experience working with Dora. We were looking for a home in LA for over a year in a very difficult market and she was incredibly patient in helping us find the right home at the right price in the right location. We greatly appreciated that she was never pushy and always put our needs first! She always took time to also explain the ins and outs of home buying to us which was incredibly helpful being first time homebuyers. We can't recommend Dora enough as a great agent who looks out for your best interest!
