She is very diligent and always on top of everything, constantly giving us the update on sale process and its various stages. Her honest and true to the market guidance is always appreciated. Bindu’s professionalism and work ethics are second to none.

We bought our first house through Chris Gray and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly.  Chris really listened to what we had to say.  She found us a house we love in a great neighborhood.  If you’re looking for a new home, look no further.

Joe P.

Buying a home can be very intimidating. With so many moving parts (lender, title company, listings, contract bids, etc). We were very fortunate to have Ken with us every step of the way. He had our best interest at heart the whole time and made us feel at ease with our home purchase. Will highly  recommend!

Troy N.

Homebuyer

It is a real pleasure to work with Rick Dorta. The closing is smooth and successful largely due to his great real estate knowledge and experience. I appreciate his help in showing me the house and walking me through the purchasing process. He is the most knowledgeable, patient, and professional real estate agent I have worked with. I hope that I will work with him again in future.

Lasantha Dahanaike was the best realtor I could have ever imagined to have had when it came to buying a house during an already stressful pandemic period. Lasantha always maintained extreme professionalism and made sure everything went smoothly for us. He put in countless extended hours to make this deal happen, and I cannot recommend him enough. Seriously one of the best home buying experiences ever, and that’s a testament to Lasantha’s expertise.

Hugo & Janini B.

I can’t imagine a better buyer agent than Chen Wen. He was incredibly knowledgeable and would search out answers to almost any question we had, if he didn’t already have the answer. Best of all, he clearly loves this work, gets joy out of doing it and brings joy to those who get to work with him. Top scores on all counts!!

It was great working with Gary Ozbenian. He made the whole process a whole lot easier than I expected it to be. He is very knowledgeable about houses and was very responsive.

I will recommend Gary to anyone who asks me if I know any good realtors. He’s GREAT!

Natalia was AMAZING. She always made sure to educate us as we went through the process, she was patient with us and never made us feel like we needed to make a decision in a rush basis. Since we didn’t know what exactly we were looking for we had so many questions and she would answer as best she could and if she didn’t know she would find out and get back to us. Natalia made sure to remind us to take it one step at a time and was always available when I would text or call her even when it was in the middle of the night. I truly recommend her services she is definitely the best!!

Dalia V.

We put our trust in Bindu Sethi and it paid off! To sell and then buy a house at the same time is never an easy process (and especially challenging during a pandemic!).  We could manage this only because we had a trusted partner and counselor by our side in Ms. Sethi.

I had lived in my home for 34 years so Sherry Eini helped me figure out what needed to go, and also what needed to go into storage and what needed sprucing up. She was always low key and supportive and never high handed, just helpful. She was a pleasure and whatever needed doing she did. She helped me find a fair price for my house and we got two contracts the first day. After helping me through negotiations I ended up with exactly my asking price so I could quickly move on. Thank you Sherry for being a friend.

R. Diaz

Jennifer was fantastic in holding our hands as first-time buyers and giving us her true thoughts about the future potential of houses we visited – with a long-term view of what would likely be best for us. She was so responsive (even when we didn’t need or expect her to be!) and went to bat for us to get closing help that allowed us to get a new HVAC and washer/dryer right away. She’s also kind and funny and all-around lovely to work with.

Caitlin K.

Rick Dorta has been nothing short of amazing and incredibly accommodating.  We did a marathon of house hunting the one day I had available and he rocked.  Organized, friendly, knowledgeable.  Just amazing. Rick was a pleasure and a great asset to the Realty Advantage team.
