FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Buyers trying to purchase a home in today's marketplace should definitely be educated on the home buying process, first time home buyer programs, and down payment assistance programs. Now more than ever, I believe buyers should know about everything available to them.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Selling your home has many moving pieces and involves some tough decision making. My advice to sellers is to interview the agents throughly, ask for references, plan of action, and ask lots of questions in order to select the right agent. After all, there are hundreds of homes that go EXPIRED without selling because the wrong agent was hired for the job.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
We've worked with all types of clients. Buyers, sellers, investors, first time home buyers, etc.

This might be a long review because theres so much I have to say about Jose Perez. For starters, my case was complicated due to the fact that this was a probate sale. My dad passed away from Covid in 2022. He didnt have a trust but did have a will that was contested by his son. Over two and an half years after my dads passing, it was time to sell his home. My dad lived in this home for over 20 years so he had a house full and garage full of tools as well as a lot of trash that needed to be cleaned out before I could put the house on the market and that in itself was going to be a whole project so I needed to find an agent with experience dealing with complicated cases like mine. When I was looking to hire an agent I had a friend refer Jose Perez and he came highly recommended. For our very first meeting, Jose and I met for almost an hour and he came very prepared, answered all of my questions and he immediately made me feel comfortable and like he could get the job done. I text him the very next day to tell him that I wanted to hire him. From the very beginning Jose communicated everything with me. We discussed the huge project of cleaning out my dads home and he was able to not only help with the cleaning out part, but he also helped me with the estate sale. He did research on the items that had some value and could be sold and the estate sale was a success! What I appreciated so much about Jose was how he wanted to make sure we did everything necessary to honor my dad and his possessions. This was such a HUGE project and I was so thankful that Jose had an answer for every roadblock we encountered. I fully trusted him from the very beginning because I saw his professionalism and attention to detail. He has many resources and knows many people. Any time I had questions or concerns, he would either already have the answer or he would find me the answer right away. The attorney handling my dads estate was also very impressed with Jose and his knowledge because he was on top of everything! Never have I worked with someone who I trust 100%. I cant say enough good things about Jose! He went above and beyond for me and my family. He was able to sell my dads home for more than what we listed it at. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! You will not be disappointed with Jose so I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

We have dealt with several real estate agents throughout southern California in the last 20 years and Jose is absolutely the best! He is honest, ethical and the hardest working agent ever. My sister used Jose to sell her house in Fontana, and she shared her awesome experience, and advised that we use Jose when both our parent passed away last year. Jose was sincere, upfront, and compassionate from beginning to end. He is truly a full-service real estate agent, which is a rare find!! Jose coordinated everythingaEUR|from successful marketing, estate sale, garage sale and all viewing/open houses. His uncanny ability to advise on selling strategy and smashing hurdles throughout this important process gave us comfort and eased our stress during this greatly overwhelming and emotional time! We cant say enough about how happy we are with Jose Perez and his real estate Team. We plan to use Jose in all future southern California real estate transactions. Again, Jose is truly the best real estate agent, and any home buyer or seller would be blessed to have Jose on their side!!!

My parents have owned a restaurant for about 20 years now and weve met dozens of real estate agents but nobody earned our trust the way Jose Perez did. Hes such a humble and straightforward individual who has a lot of knowledge when it comes to real estate. While looking for houses for sale in Whittier, we looked at houses in the surrounding cities. Thanks to Joses network we were able to get our offer accepted over 22 competing offers.
