    May Kunka helped us sell our home in Los Angeles. We all need key essential people in our lives and May is one of them. If youre looking for a great real estate agent (complete with a recommendation for a wonderful place to eat), May is your #1 draft pick! Her knowledge, resourcefulness, reliability, years of experience, accessibility, responsiveness and efficient staff (Vanessa) made what would have been a stressful situation a breeze from beginning to end. In the months before we were thinking of selling, May generously offered advice on the improvements to be made, ultimately saving us considerable funds on repairs that would have otherwise been pointless to do. Throughout the entire process from listing to close of escrow, May kept us up to date through all mediums of communication (video messages, email, text and telephone), taking the time needed to explain each forthcoming step and answering any questions we had along the way. The resources she utilized to market our home (staging, photography/video, MLS listing) were so impressive, we almost changed our minds about selling! May even went above and beyond to pinch hit for us to ensure the completion of a repair when we werent available to handle it ourselves. We cant thank May enough for making the recent sale of our home such an effortless, fast and easy process. We highly recommend May for your real estate needs.

    May Kunka helped me sell my duplex in Rosemead and successfully secured a non-contingent offer $100,000 over list price! I first connected with May a few years ago through a friend who recommended her to help lease part of my duplex. She did a fantastic job finding a great tenant, so when it came time to sell, I knew exactly who to call. This time, the situation was more complicatedaEUR"there were five existing tenants on the property, and I wanted to deliver it vacant. May took the lead in coordinating with each tenant, handling timelines, and communication with care and professionalism. Managing all of that while keeping the deal moving forward was no small task, and it did result in a longer escrow, but she stayed committed and got it done. From our first conversation to the final closing, May made the entire experience feel manageable, straightforward and easy. She stayed on top of everything, kept me in the loop, and was always quick to respond whenever I had questions. Her advice along the way made a big difference, and the sale ended up going over the asking price with no issues during escrow. Shes someone you can count on to get the job done while also making the process feel personal and thoughtful. I wouldnt hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to others.

    May is one of the most experience real-estate agent that I've ever worked with. My wife and I were in the market to purchase our first home. We went through 3 other agents before we met May. One thing that stands out with May is that she made our experience so easy and willing to go step by step, what to expect and what to look for in a home. She educated us on a lot of things like how to look at a roof, what types of roofing and how long it should last. She also negotiated for us at our best interest. We purchased a beautiful home that May helped us find, and also made this highly stressful process a walk in the park. Every time we had questions, she addressed it, every time we had concerns, she made us feel at ease. We cannot ask for a better agent to rep us. I highly recommend May if you are ever in the Market to sell or buy a home, May and her team will dedicate their all to cater to your needs.

    May Kunka helped use to sell our family's lifelong home in Monterey Park. Her knowledge of the local market, sales strategies and professionalism made every step of the process smooth and comfortable. Selling a home that we had in our family for 62 years was a very difficult and emotional process in itself, and May's thoughtful, and caring demeanor, and true concern for all we were doing helped me especially to feel great about the whole process. She really helped us to get TOP $$$, with smart and expert contract negotiation. May is the BEST and I would highly recommend her if you need an AWESOME truly professional real estate expert to sell your home, or help you to buy one.
