Lawrence was an amazing partner to work with. He listened and ensured that our families needs were taken into consideration while staying neutral and providing guidance. He helped us achieve our goal and gave regular updates. Hes absolutely someone I would entrust again to help us in the marketplace.
Lawrence knows his stuff! He was able to help us with a fairly complex transaction. He guided us every step of the way and helped us position ourselves for an optimal loan situation. Always helpful, insightful, and professional. I appreciated his transparency and work ethic. I was never wondering what was going on! His communication is on point and he doesn't bug! He really looks out for his people. At one point he even had us try to work directly with a bank to see if things would be more in our favor-true selflessness. Ultimately, he was the one that could get the job done for us. He knows his stuff guys.

Buying a house can be a stressful experience for the first time home buyer. There is an endless list of things to keep in mind and a sense that one needs experienced guidance especially in a market as competitive and fast paced as the Bay Area.With Lawrence, you get an experienced real estate agent who will answer all your questions thoroughly and patiently and is involved in the whole process from start to finish. During the first meeting, he went over the whole process in a lot of detail with me and my FiancA(C), starting from financing options to inspections, contingencies, appraisals and the bidding process. There was a lot of information but he was patient and meticulous in explaining things to us.We were able to find our perfect home.A Lawrence helped us close escrow within a month. I would highly recommend him to everyone including my family and friends.

Lawrence helped us with the refinance of our Gilroy home. We live out of state so most of our communication was via email, text or by phone. We were a bit hesitant at first since we werent able to meet face to face and know exactly who it was we were working with. But Lawrence definitely made us feel comfortable from our first intital phone conversation. We had a list of questions and he had an answer for us every time. And if he didnt have an answer right then and there he got back to us ASAP with one. He was always in communication with us through the whole process. He was always keeping us posted on what the next step(s) would be. We came across a couple of issues on our end that we werent aware of but Lawrence and his team did a GREAT job of helping us resolve the issues in a timely manner where we were still able to close on the expected date. He also provided us with some information on our current rental that we would never have known of. We thank him for that as well. Even after the process was over Lawrence followed up with us to make sure everything was good and everything was as expected. I would HIGHLY recommend him without a doubt.
He helped us thru the whole process of purchasing a house , and was very informative and helpful in making it a smooth as possible to find what we wanted ! I highly recommend anyone looking for a house or real estate to give them a try and let Lawrence and his team do the rest for you ! Thank you !
Just wanted to share my experience with using Monterrosa Real Estate..... I don't even know where to begin, The sale on our house was a very sensitive issue. This home held memories of my mother who passed. Lawrence understood what we as a family were going through. He took the time out to deal with not just the sale of our home but even helped us with personal issues. We had to turn around and sell fast, Lawrence got us a great selling price and even got the buyer to give us extra time to move my moms stuff out. He even took time out and answered all our "dumb" questions that came along the way. I'm beyond pleased with Lawrence and his team. So if your looking for a team with Heart and Dedication... Monterrosa Real Estate is for you! Once again THANK YOU Lawrence (and team) we appreciate you!

Lawrence was referred to me by my daughter when I asked her if she knew of any good real estate agents in town. I then met Lawrence and stated to him the reason I was selling and I was looking for a good-selling price. As soon as the property was listed, we got some offers and Lawrence then was able to negotiate a price that was within my goal and satisfactory to the buyers. The home is now sold and escrow has completed. I am thrilled that my daughter was able to foretell how efficient and knowledgeable Lawrence was going to be in selling and marketing the property. Thank you! And Best wishes, Lawrence of Monterrosa Real Estate.......
Lawrence knows real estate. Highly knowledgeable and dedicated to his clients. I knew I picked the right man to represent my family and I. Definitely using the Lawrence Monterrosa Real Estate Team again.
My Fiance and I would highly recommend Lawrence as your agent. With the amount of experience and expertise in the business he was the perfect agent to help us find our first home. Being first time home buyers Lawrence was always available to answer all our questions and made sure we felt comfortable with ever decision. We were able to close our transaction in thirty days and we owe it all to Lawrence. He worked very hard and always looked out for our best interest. Thank you Lawrence for all your hard work and look forward to having you as my agent in the future.
I would highly recommend using Lawrence as your agent. Knowing him for years and his expertise in the industy he was the perfect agent for my wife and I to help puchase our first home. Being our first time Lawrence always made himself available to answer any questions we had. We were able to close our transaction in thirty day and I have to say it was because of Lawrence. He was there to negotiate for us and always looked out for our best interest. Its has been a little over three months that we have owned our home and Lawrense still calls us to say hi and see how we are doing.
I would highly recommend using Lawrence as your agent. He was well prepared by having all the information on my property ahead of time. Lawrence prepared me for the process and there were no surprises. We were able to close the transaction within 30 days. Not only was this a quick transaction but it was smooth. Lawrence was able to answer any questions along the way I had and always made time for me. He is very open and honest and has your best interest at heart. He is a great agent exceeded my expectations and he has gained a client for life! I will always recommend him.
I reached out to Lawrence for my first home purchase. He was very attentive and promptly responded to any question via phone or email I had. He put me in touch with sources that pre approved me and I was looking for houses within just a couple of days. Because of his vigor and tenacity, I was in my new home in about a month and a half after staring the proccess. I will definitely be calling Lawrence for all future real estate business. In fact we are already planing another transaction shortly.
The furniture has been moved in, the house has turned into a home, and now that the dust has settled...I stare out into my huge yard and still can't believe we own this home.First off, the stress, tears, and constant loss on other bids was all worth it in the end. The process was not as smooth as I thought it would be, but of course we are in the Silicon Valley where a 2b1b 100 year old home is 500k or more and people are overbidding asking price. My fiance bought a home on his own with Lawrence Monterrosa in 2009 when it seems the market was a whole different one - which he was very pleased with the process and we knew for sure when we decided to buy a house together that Lawrence would be our agent. We didn't even think twice about choosing him. Lawrence was very responsive to our questions, and called back in a timely manner if a call or text was missed. He is also very positive and upbeat about the different homes, but also told us about the negatives when a certain home would not work out which was sometimes heartbreaking. It was fun searching for different homes even though we lost bids constantly, like I said I feel very blessed we got this one now. The only negative experiences of the process was when we went into escrow. It was a pain and it took very long. Lawrence said we could close in 30 days or less, the positive thinking was detrimental at this point haha but it took longer and whoever the escrow agent was took long getting back to us for documents..we ended up spending more money out of pocket as the sellers asked us for a fee for every day that we did not close after 30 days. Other people who bought homes told me at the time that we should not have said we would close in 30 days, but it is now the norm to say 45-60 days to prevent any issues. We did have to pay more out of pocket, which Lawrence did offer to split the cost in half which was nice. There were many times during escrow that we thought we were going to lose the house and lose our deposit because it was taking long. There are a few things we will probably do differently when we buy our next home, which Lawrence will most likely be the agent we choose to help us again.
Lawrence is a professional in all aspects! Reliable and very responsive to the upmost! He helped us find our forever home after a year of tough battle in this competitive market. Daily he combed through the inventory and always notified us of any property that fit what we were looking for. He is a great negotiator and was very quick to bid on properties that we liked. He is very creative with helping us find the best loan agent for financing. Even after closing he still is there for us helping to find us the best vendors at the best price for work that needs to be done on our forever home. I would recommend him highly!
Back in October 2011, Lawrence helped me and my husband purchase our very first home. The process was effortless and had we known it was so easy, we would have contacted him much sooner. Lawrence was extremely patient with our many questions and explained every step along the way. A month later, we were in our new home! Because of the great experience in 2011, it was only right to use him again this year to refinance and he did not disappoint us.

Lawrence was nothing short of a Master at what he does. After a long battle with my mortgage holder for close to a year, Lawrence came in and took over with incredible expertise. He made everything go smooth and seamless, and just after 18 days of my home being on the market, it sold. I don't think I could have asked for anything more in a professional. He will forever have my business and I will continue to refer everyone I know to him.
I am a repeat client. Before working with Lawrence, I had went through multiple agents that seemed to put me low on their priority list. In 2010, he found me a condo in less than three months that we started working together. Lawrence came through again. I sold my condo earlier this year and upgraded to a house in the location I desired. Asking price was way over what I could afford but he was able to negotiate lower price. To sweeten the deal, the home appraised higher than expected. Thank you again Lawrence and I am looking forward to building new memories in my new home. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.
My wife and I highly recommend Lawrence Monterrosa to anyone in the market to buy or sell.What I look for in Realtor/Agent is someone hungry, knows the industry and all of the angles/rules, etc., and most importantly a family man/woman.We found all of the above in Lawrence! He worked tirelessly to get us into our dream house and sell our old one and I'm not the easiest of clients to work for (I'll admit that)!We could not be happier!Mike & Angel Malinao
