ZillowVERIFIED Juan Felix was great in helping us find our first home. He listened to what we wanted to ensure that properties being shown were within our budget and had features we wanted. In addition he answered all of our questions throughly and was readily available making the home buying process less stressful.

ZillowVERIFIED Honestly, I dont know where to start with the review for Audrey Tafish. Ive worked with a few other realtors and none compare to Audrey - simply put she is an outstanding realtor. My wife and I needed to list our home and purchase a new home in a different city. We were very hesitant about doing so as it was our first home and we loved our home. We needed to move to be closer to family. She was very patient and understanding with our hesitancy. She took us on many tours of both used homes and new builds. She sent us many listings and was always very responsive and proactive about researching listings that met our criteria. She always made herself available and you could tell she took her clients and their needs very seriously. When we settled on selling our home, she walked us through every step and explained to us all the paperwork that was involved. Audrey also did an outstanding job of following up with all the parties involved if there were any delays on anyones end and kept us informed every step of the way. Audrey had amazing negotiating skills and we ended up getting well over asking price for our home. Audrey also helped us find our new home. We ended up choosing a new build, and she put us on the priority list with the builder. We were one of the first people on that list and as a result, we landed the plot and home that we wanted. Audrey consistently kept in touch with the builder to ensure we were able to be one of the first people when the builder held their pre-release sales. We are still waiting for our home to be completed and Audrey is still helping us navigate that process. Both my wife and I would 1000% recommend Audrey to anyone and will definitely reach out to her if we were ever to buy another home or any of our family or friends needed a reliable and caring agent.

ZillowVERIFIED We met Audrey Tafish about 5 years ago and have looked and looked on and off for a home. But unfortunately we could not find just the right one? not the location, not one story, not the right size or the property taxes were too high. However, in January 2020 we decided to start searching again - we looked at many different places & local cities. We were almost ready to give up when a NEW housing development ( Vista Cielo) in Jurupa Valley was in their 2nd phase out of 5. We met Audrey at the appointed time and place at the on site realtors office at Vista Cielo. All of us almost immediately fell in love with the plan, lot and future neighborhood. We placed a deposit a couple days later and picked a beautiful lot that is high on a 1200 foot elevated hill. The property overlooks downtown Riverside as well as the golf fairways of Indian Hills Country Club 18 hole course. Audrey PATIENTLY walked us through the laborious escrow process. Audrey never minded repetitive questions and genuinely cared to make sure I understood everything and what I could expect next. Audrey has ALWAYS BEEN A PROFESSIONAL and maintains the highest in INTEGRITY & HONESTY. Ms. Tafish quickly listed our current home and she almost immediately began showing our home to several interested parties. (While maintaining the highest safety precautions during the Covid 19 pandemic) Our new home closed escrow on December 10, 2020 and we moved in on January 14, 2021. Then in early February-2021 Audrey advised us that we had received a FULL ASKING PRICE OFFER IN CASH! Approximately, 3 weeks later the deal was completed. We only had ONE MONTH of paying for 2 homes? what a blessing to get a cash offer. Audrey helped facilitate the transaction with negotiations with the other agent, buyer and mobile home park managers. If not for Audrey Tafish none of this would have been possible. I cannot say enough about Audrey as an agent as well as her wonderful personality. My son is planning on purchasing his first home soon and of course the only person I want working with him is Audrey.

ZillowVERIFIED Juan was very professional and had great communication with us. He kept us informed of the process and explained it in a clear manner and he provided timely updates as needed. He responded quickly to our emails and texts when we had questions and gave recommendations adequately. We have already recommended him to our neighbors. We are very satisfied with the selling of our home. Thank you Juan.

ZillowVERIFIED Wow, where do I start?I am in the service business so I am not easy to please as my expectations are very high. I have purchased several personal and income properties over the years. I have friends and even family that are agents and have found myself using them over the years out of obligation. (Not always to my benefit) With my latest purchase I sought out a property via Zillow and reached out to the listing agent directly. From the very first call, I explained that I didn?t have an agent but wanted to see her listing. She was so ethical that she explained that it was a coming soon listing and I had to wait like all other buyers or agents. Once the property was available to the public she drove in excess of 30 miles one way to meet me to view the home. This may seem like the normal course of business but I have spoken to many listing agents over the years that just want to list properties and have no interest in showing the property. (Especially in this market) Although there were several offers on the property within days my offer was accepted. Mrs. Tafish (Audrey) not only showed me the home originally but was also there on the day of Home/Termite inspection and even volunteered to be there for the final walkthrough. Keep in mind she had to drive 30 miles one way each time. Throughout the process she was a great communicator and never left me hanging awaiting answers to questions. I have never signed so many disclosures during a transaction in my life but she was patient and explain the need for each one and made the tedious process seem easy. She even worked well between the seller and myself even when the seller and I didn?t agree on terms and deficient items that were found during inspection. She kept her cool and worked as a true professional. This is all probably more than anyone wants to know in a review but suffice it to say Audrey Tafish was a true professional in every way and I would highly recommend her on any transaction. The next time I am looking to sell or buy you can be assured Audrey Tafish will be my first call. Sincerely, Steve Pilcher

ZillowVERIFIED We were new to home buying and had no idea what to expect. Jason was wonderful to work with and made everything as stress-free as possible! He was very knowledgeable about the process and really took the time to explain everything to make us feel comfortable. His patience and ability to explain things are his greatest strengths as a realtor. He communicated often and was always easy to reach. Jason was fantastic in finding homes that matched our requirements and was quick in arranging showings upon request. He offered his opinion when we asked and never made us feel pressured. My family and I were very happy working with him to find the best home for us. He really cares about his clients and their needs when it comes to helping them find a home. I highly recommend him to go to for anyone looking for a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Buying a home during a global pandemic was next to impossible. After searching unsuccessfully for almost a year, I realized that not having the right agent will get you two things?. Ignored or taken advantage of. A friend eventually referred me to Raad Shalabi and that call changed my life?.He got me back in the game ! He was quick, resourceful and to be honest? a ferocious negotiator. He found me a house that I love, got me a good deal and I couldn?t be happier. The only thing that stands between you and the House you?ll love is the right Agent.

ZillowVERIFIED I have worked with other realtors in the past and Juan Felix is by far the best! He is honest and truly cares for his clients. Juan was available day and night and worked quickly to get us into see all the homes we were interested in. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate and that is what?s needed now especially in this kind of market where competition is very high. I recommend Juan to anyone who is ready to buy or sell, he will make it happen ! We began searching for a home in late December 2020 and closed in February 2021. I look forward to working with Juan again in the near future. Thank You Juan !!

ZillowVERIFIED Jason Arquero demonstrates and exemplifies what a realtor can and should do for his client. He always kept our best interest in mind and not just to make a quick sale. Jason helped guide us in making the appropriate decisions based on what we were trying to accomplish. He is definitely trustworthy and will give his honest opinion if you ask for it. Again, not just to make a quick sale but, to help and guide you through the entire process. There were a lot of challenges that came up during the sale of our house. Jason pretty much took care of everything. He made the entire process a lot less stressful. He also helped us find our new home. When I decide to sell and buy another house, you can bet I?m calling Jason.

ZillowVERIFIED I have used Raad Shalabi as my realtor since 2016. My father used him to list his home and it sold literally the next day! At that same time he helped me buy my first home. He was a great negotiator and because of this I was able to purchase the home I wanted. He was very knowledgeable and responsive through the entire process. He listened to what was important to me in a home and didn?t see me as just another sale. In no time he found me a beautiful move in ready home which I lived in for two years. Because of how great he was I looked for him again when I wanted to purchase a bigger home for my family. He came through for me again helping me buy a bigger, nicer home which I currently live in now. Raad made the buying process hassle free and was there for me every step of the way! I have recommended him to friends and family who he has also helped tremendously. If you?re looking for an agent who you can trust and have faith in who cares about what you want, this guy right here is it! Thank you Raad for all you have done for my family.

ZillowVERIFIED If I had to describe Raad in a short sentence I?d say he?s a ?straight-to-the-point man and he?ll tell you what you have to hear not what you want to hear.? So if these are some of the qualities you?re looking for in a Realtor or in a friend, there?s no need to look further. We?ve had the chance to work with him on both ends, as buyers and sellers. Both times he?s been patient enough to help us understand every step of both processes, he?s advised us with the truth, yet allowing us to make our own decision and supporting us regardless. He?s always gone the extra mile to get us the deal we were looking for, but better yet, he works in silence, he left all the negative aspects of the business away from us and only reached out when he felt it was necessary or for good news. Honestly, we can?t wait to work with him again soon. He definitely has and will always have our trust and business.

ZillowVERIFIED As a first time home buyer, I was anxious and nervous to start the whole process. However, Raad treated us like family and made this experience easier than we could have ever imagined. Raad was always available to answer my many questions and eased my mind throughout every phone call. He made us feel comfortable buying a home during this unprecedented market, since we thought we would never have a chance. His professionalism and experience were unquestionable whenever we met or had to deal with matters pertaining to the home. I couldn?t have asked for a better agent to find me the perfect home for my family. When I have to do this all over again, I will not think twice before calling Raad.

ZillowVERIFIED Where do I even start? Raad has been a blessing to my family over the years as our realtor. We have done a total of 4 different deals with Raad and let me tell you, he gets it done every time. All of our transactions have been really smooth because he is so knowledgeable about the real estate industry. I would 1000000% recommend him to anyone interested in buying a house! He has helped multiple family and friends of ours get into their dream homes. Thank you so much Raad, you truly are the best!

ZillowVERIFIED I was introduced to Raad by a mutual friend. It was a blessing. It is very hard to find a realtor that you can trust, who is responsive, and truly has your best interest at heart. Most realtors are all about money. Raad really went above and beyond to find us a home and within the time frame, we needed. Even though I was a client from hell. I was very picky about everything and anything. Raad was very professional and dealt with all my needs with the best respect and professionalism. I will definitely recommend Raad to anyone looking to buy a house and or who wants to sell their current house. He explained every document that was needed. He also walked us through the entire process which can be stressful to someone who knows nothing about houses.

Raad not only did make buying a house an easy process but never once left a question unanswered. Raad is not only professional but also sincere and thats easy to see when you first meet. Its been a pleasure and a great honor to work with you and cant wait until the time is right again to purchase my next home brother! much blessings!!

ZillowVERIFIED It was a great experience working with Janet Kim. It was our first home purchase process so we had few hesitant moments but she was very professional, patient, and understanding of that.

I will highly recommend her to anyone who needs any real estate help.

ZillowVERIFIED Juan did an outstanding job with the sale of our home. He listed our house on a Thursday and successfully showed our home that weekend to over 30 potential buyers. We had viable offers and escrow was started within 7 days of the initial listing. Now he is helping us find our new home. We cannot recommend Juan enough.

Answers all of your questions and concerns and when in doubt she guides you to make the best decision for you and your family. She communicates with everyone and makes house tours possible.

She also has the best references to help you whether you need a contractor, inspector, or officer lender. I definitely recommend working with Carolyn!

ZillowVERIFIED Martin was always available and responded quickly to any communications. He was happy to show us around as many properties as it took but he soon worked out exactly what we were looking for and sent us the listing for the house we ultimately closed on. He always acted quickly and arranged for us to see the property the day it went on the market and we put an offer in that evening. He continued to be available throughout the escrow process and was always pushing for things to happen as soon as possible for us. We would happily recommend Martin to our friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIED We are so grateful to have worked with Mauricio! He worked around our schedule to meet with us. He asked all the right questions, that?s why we bought our first home within 3 months! He listened to our comments about every house we saw and asked why it was not a possibility. We made an offer to a house and it was accepted. Mauricio called me very excited to give me the good news, but I felt like I was not in love with the house, so I told Mauricio I did not want to proceed and explained to him I was not happy. As a first-time home buyer, I expected him to pressure me and say if you don?t take this offer then you will lose this opportunity. Mauricio was great and did not pressure me at all. He said, if you are not happy then let?s continue to look for your home. We will definitely work with Mauricio again! Thank you!!!

ZillowVERIFIED I contacted Mauricio 3 years ago to request information about what I needed to buy a house. He took the time to come to my house gather some info, run numbers and explained in detail what me and my husband needed to do in regards to our credit, & income. He gave us an estimate of what we qualify for at the time. Mauricio worked with me for 3 years patiently while we were working on our credit/reducing bills. He will check on us once in a while until we were ready. Finally 3 years after, with pandemic in everything, he took the time to run our number again and see where we were at. We were ready. He show us some houses, he walked us thru the whole process and even when the process got stressful at times because of the pandemic, he remain calm and professional. He?s very kind and patient.

ZillowVERIFIED Juan did an outstanding job helping us sell our home in Chino. When we asked him what we needed to do to get our house ready to sell, he did not hesitate to let us know what we could do for our house to show well. Every step of the way he kept us informed and answered all our questions. Shortly after we began working with Juan, we asked him to help with the sale of my mothers home. He was patient and made the whole process easy. His integrity, professionalism and responsiveness made what could have been a stressful undertaking, a very pleasant life changing experience. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to help anyone sell their home.

ZillowVERIFIED Juan was amazing, he gave us great advice and the photographer he used showed the home at its best. The weekend he showed our house he had over 20 qualified buyers view the home with 8 offers submitted at the end of the weekend. Our house sold for more than we asked, and he really did get us top dollar and looked out for our best interest when negotiating with the buyers Realtors. I would recommend him to everyone who needs a Realtor.
