In Their Words

What Clients Are Saying

"Eternally grateful to the best realtor in California, David Sanchez! David's considerable real estate knowledge and skills helped me sell my condo in Long Beach, CA while living on the East Coast in just 10 days after it was listed while also keeping the experience totally stress free. His expertise in all areas of Real Estate Sales including pricing, staging, advertising etc. made the process very pleasant and even got me more than my asking price! I highly recommend David Sanchez if you are looking for a worry and hassle free sale of your property."

Andrea C.

Long Beach Seller

"I had the pleasure of working with David Sanchez to sell my condo at Aqua Towers in Long Beach, California, and he truly is the best realtor I could have asked for! From start to finish, David was professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that I was always informed and comfortable with each step of the process. His expertise in the Long Beach market was evident as he helped me navigate everything with ease. He is also well-connected with the community and assisted in preparing my condo by contracting teams for painting, staging, photography, and videography. Thanks to his exceptional work, we got a great deal, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you want to buy or sell, I highly recommend David Sanchez!"

Kara Z.

Long Beach Seller

"I can't say enough good things about David. He made our entire home buying process as easy and stress free as possible. We felt completely taken care of all the way through our transaction because of his clear communication and laid back yet professional demeanor. David will go up to bat for you, stay responsive all the way through, and make your home buying dreams come true. Thank you, David, we couldn't be more grateful!"

Melissa R.

Long Beach Buyer

"Kimberly is an amazing realtor who did a fantastic job guiding us through our buying process in early 2021. Her professionalism, knowledge and extra attention to detail really sets her apart. Couldn't imagine anyone else being our agent, especially during this crazy market. Highly recommend!"

Serge B.

Orange County Buyer

"Kimberly helped my fiancé and I buy our first house. Had it not been for her support and guidance, I would have not gotten through the many melt downs during the home buying process. Home buying is super stressful, but it's so much easier with the right person to talk you through it and who is experienced in the field. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell and use her again if we ever decide to buy another property in the future. Thank you, Kimberly!"

For Buyers

We Get Our Buyers the Best Possible Deal — Not Just the Home

In a competitive market, who you have in your corner matters. We have helped 64 buyers successfully close across Southern California, and we fight for every advantage available — not just on price, but on terms, credits, repairs, and rate buydowns that most agents never even ask for.

Experts at writing competitive offers in multiple-offer situations

16 buyers closed below the original list price

We negotiate credits, repairs, and rate buydowns on most transactions — value that never shows up in the sale price

All property types: condos, single-family, multi-unit, income properties

All financing types: conventional, FHA, VA, cash, and trust

Average 27 days from accepted offer to close

Purchase price statistics reflect the contract price only and do not include additional value negotiated through credits, repairs, rate buydowns, or other concessions. These are pursued on virtually every transaction and represent a significant part of the total value we deliver for buyers.

Our Approach

The Negotiations Start Long Before You Make an Offer

With 9+ years of relationships built with agents, brokers, and professionals across Southern California, we bring something to the table that most agents simply cannot — genuine trust and mutual respect on both sides of every deal. When the other agent knows us, the conversation starts differently.

Whether the market is hot, cold, or somewhere in between, we adapt. We have closed in multiple-offer frenzies and in slow markets, for first-time buyers and seasoned investors, in straightforward deals and complex trust and probate situations. We have seen it all and we know how to handle it.
