Roberto was an amazing agent! I can say I'm pretty particular when it comes to my money and business partnership. Roberto was very proactive from the beginning. He is always responsive and never let me felt hanging at any time, even while he was on vacation overseas he would still find time to respond to me. I decided on a property right when he was leaving LAX and we were able to put an offer in and close on time before he even got back. It was as if his presence was still here and of course his associates were helpful! Roberto is an honest man with great work ethics! Thank you so much Roberto!

Kara Welliver worked as a real estate agent for over 16 years. I purchased my home in Long Beach with Kara as my realtor in June 2012. I was extremely happy to have her represent me! Kara is the consummate professional. She is thorough, reliable, trustworthy, and extremely knowledgeable with regard to home selling and buying. Kara provides all of the necessary information to her clients and is able to make purchase and sale transactions seamlessly. Recently, I relocated to New Mexico and with Kara’s expertise, I was able to sell my home in Long Beach without any complications or worries.

I was so grateful to be introduced to Kara by my Aunt Bette, who enjoyed a very successful career in real estate, and chose Kara to partner with, as she was nearing retirement. That was the highest recommendation for a real estate professional anyone could've given me. Since that time, Kara has represented my wife and I on a number of transactions. We have purchased, sold and leased property with one thing in common, Kara was on our team. She has rolled up her sleeves and worked long hours to clean, perform preliminary inspections, stage and have properties professionally photographed prior to listing for lease or sale. Her network of industry professionals to assist her in promoting properties are amazing. Even in the challenging times we faced this past year, the professional photography and virtual videos she organized, made the properties safely accessible to potential tenants and buyers.
Have you ever heard the expression, "if you want to get something done, give it to a busy person"? Kara is that person! She works tirelessly and diligently for her clients' best interests. She is also a tremendous resource! When we were recently presented with an opportunity to purchase a vacation rental, we immediately called Kara, who promptly ran the comps for the property we wanted to purchase as well as those properties which needed to be sold to make the deal happen. We decided that using Harcourts Live Auction was a unique method to drive traffic to the homes which needed to be sold, and we received multiple "auction ending" offers! We even set a new sales record in the Faire Harbour community! Which by the way, was "fair" as it is an amazing property! With her guidance and support, our dream property is now ours' to use, rent and share with family and friends.
Even after the transactions were completed, Kara remains a huge advocate and resource. In fact, I think iPhone needs a "Kara" app, where we can each benefit from her wealth of information, right at our fingertip

Adrienne represented us in the sale of our house in La Jolla. The transaction, originally a simple one, became a very difficult and convoluted process. Adrienne held our hands through the entire negotiations and we happily closed on the house. I would recommend Adrienne to any one.

"If you are looking for a realtor to help you sell your home, I highly recommend Andre Saffarnia. We hired Andre to sell our home in Glassell Park. It was not an easy sell, he was outstanding. Our home was previously listed with 2 local realtors and was on the market for over 400 days yet Andre and his team manage to get us multiple offers and sold our property successfully in less than 60 days!
We spoke with Andre and then met with him at our home. He spent hours answering our questions... Andre made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should) he exceeded our expectations by far.
When we saw our listing we were blown away. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. We received multiple offers and Our house went into a contract which was outstanding for that market and being previously on the market for over 400 days!
I've recommended Andre Saffarnia and his amazing Team to everyone I know. He's a true professional, hard working and a genuinely nice guy.

We met Dusty in the early 1990s and over the years our friendship grew. We were interested in acquiring a second home or more income property somewhere along the Orange coast but were not in a rush or hurry to do so. Dusty never pressured us and always kept in touch with us throughout the months and years. We knew that when the time came Dusty would get our business. We eventually called him to say we were ready to buy and he followed through and found us a rare duplex on the Bayfront in Newport Beach. He is and will be the only broker I will recommend to those looking to sell or buy in Orange County.

Peyvand was really kind and patient with us when she was helping us to find our new home. She is so knowledgable and definitely not pushy at all as a realtor. We really appreciate all her effort and help and for sure recommend her if you are looking for a nice and different realtor.

"We cannot say enough about the quality of service that Donald Goff provided to my husband and me. Moving from Northern California back to San Diego County was a challenge for us. From the first conversation with Donald we knew he was the realtor for us. Very understanding knowledgeable, attentive and communicative. He found us exactly the home we were looking for and went to bat for us at every turn. We would recommend him highly no matter what realty you are looking for. Great man, big heart, impressive back up staff. You will not be disappointed."

We really enjoyed working with Vanessa on our recent home purchase. It took us about a year and half to find our perfect home and throughout the entire process Vanessa always listened to what we wanted and would update our searches accordingly. She always remained patient with us and was quick to respond to any of our requests or questions. Once we found our home, she really made us feel like her priority was making sure that escrow was as seamless as possible. She worked hard to make sure that we had everything we need and was able to negotiate the terms we wanted. Throughout the entire process she was nothing but pleasant and professional. We would highly recommend Vanessa for any of your real estate needs, she is one of a kind and there aren't many like her in the business.

Excellent service, too often elusive amidst our rush culture and increasingly impersonal interactions, offers a wonderfully refreshing and comforting surprise when in comes along. Kara Welliver provided just that type of hands on, personalized service, especially appreciated during the stressful and emotional challenges of selling a cherished home and finding another.
Our longtime realtor, “stuck” in New Zealand due to the Covid crisis, recommended Kara. We are so glad she did. Kara remained well informed and resourceful, insanely accessible, communicative, and professional throughout our transition from Long Beach to Solvang. And when our emotions got the best of us, she calmed our nerves with her experienced and thoughtful insights. Her network of professionals provided exceptional service as well, so vital to smooth and accurate real estate transactions. Kara bakes a tasty cookie, too, and we made a friend in the process! What could be better?
We wholeheartedly recommend Kara’s excellent and caring services – five stars, without question.

"Roxy was helpful every step of the way for us, especially as a first time home buyer. We started the process with her very early on with no pressure. She was very informative and you can tell she loves what she does and really wants to help find the right home for you. She brings her personal experience as helpful comparison but does not ever push her own preferences on you. She truly wants you to be happy with the home you choose, no matter the cost. She will provide the same attentive service whether you are looking at a small apartment or a larger home.And if for any reason she is not available she will make sure there is someone who can cover for her. I would definitely recommend Roxy to anyone who is int the market for a new home!" - Maybelle H H
