About three weeks into our buying process I woke up and the first thing on my mind and out of my mouth was, "I am so grateful we found Sergio." Buying a house is so stressful, especially when youre doing it from the other side of the country, and Sergio 100% had our back. He made us feel like we were always his most important clients. I would recommend Sergio without the slightest hesitation. He went above and beyond for us on multiple occasions, his communication is always quick and included all the details, and hes just a great guy who is easy to work with. Sergio is an exemplary realtor. He knows his stuff and is more than willing to learn more when faced with something new. We were exclusively interested in an older home and he was well acquainted with the historic market in Riverside. Sergio also made sure to get contractors and inspectors that were known for their work with older homes so that he could trust that he was providing us with the best available service. It is clear that Sergio takes pride in his earned reputation and works hard to maintain it. Sergio knew all the ins and outs of the home buying process and could easily address any of our questions (we had a lot). He never made us feel like we were a bother and quickly and professionally responded to each with clear, realistic answers. Sergio also expertly walked that fine line of working for us and respecting our wishes while also remaining the expert and advising us when necessary. We are moving to Riverside because of a new faculty position at UCR. I mention this because if there are any other new folks moving for this reason and using the UCR loan system, Sergio is now well acquainted with their rules, their people, and their process. His knowledge will definitely be of value to you as you navigate their system. Lastly, I mentioned weve been doing all this from across the country? We currently live in Boston and Sergio has been our surrogate in so many ways. When we first found the house he toured us around with video, acted as our eyes and ears and answered so many questions, worked with numerous contractors on our behalf, spent a day with my husband when he flew out for the inspection, met up with our friends to pass along the key, took measurements for us for the fridge... I mean seriously! Above and beyond, people. Above and beyond. I wholeheartedly feel good about recommending Sergio and can be certain that anyone working with him will be in great hands.

A family member recently bought their first home and Sergio was their agent. They said that Sergio walked them through the entire process with ease by providing them with all the info and tools they needed to find their first home. They were very happy with his services and based on their feedback I knew it was a good choice to have Sergio list my home for sale. It was my first time listing a home so I wasnt too sure what it all entailed. Sergio started with a consultation at my home, he assessed the property and my expectations/ballpark ideas for pricing, and expectations of how quickly I wanted the property to sell. Based on his consultation, I decided that I wanted the house to sell quickly and sell for the highest price my particular market could support. Sergio pointed out key fixes/upgrades that could be done to the home that would achieve the plan to sell high and quickly. Sergio made getting the fixes done easier by referring me to a couple of contractors who took care of the fixes professionally and at a very reasonable price. Sergio provided a very nice presentation of the comparables and recent sales in the area that backed up a realistic recommendation for the listing price. Based on the information he provided I felt confident that the suggested listing price would get the home good traction online and get buyers into the home for viewings. As an added plus Sergio had the home professionally photographed so that the home would look at its best online. Within hours of listing the home, we had several hits and scheduled viewings. By the end of the first week we had several offers and I was able to accept an offer that was over the asking price! I cant express enough how Sergios work made the entire process feel easy. He was quickly available to answer any questions, he explained everything (paperwork, pricing strategy, current market conditions etc.) in way that was easy to understand, and we had good rapport. Sergio has in depth knowledge of the the many, many different housing markets in Southern California and hell be my go to realtor for my future home buys and sells. His level of knowledge and awesome customer service is top notch and a rarity. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

8 reviews 5.0 star rating 4/18/2017 We recently purchased a home with Sergio as our agent. We couldnt have had any better service, he exceeded our expectations. He is a great agent, who listens to what we wanted and was always there to show you a home or answer any questions. In my opinion, he went above and behind. When we were closing on our home from an investor and was trying to do a final walk through with the property, we were unable to gain access to enter the property. Sergio went out of his way and swing by the property during the week and discovered water damage on the baseboards that were not present when we saw the property. This was our worst nightmare, what were we getting ourselves into, but with Sergios help we were able to close on the property and still negotiate on the compensation of damages. He advised us which documents to sign and which to not in order for us to not have our rights violated. He stood by us and guided us through the whole ordeal with great professionalism and experience. He helped us gather documents, emailed seller, and negotiated on our behalf. He was very reassuring and consulted lawyers for us, just in case if we needed to go a different route. He was supportive, helpful, knowledgeable, and so much more. We are so glad everything went well and were able to get compensated for damages. If you are looking for the best, search no more. Sergio is simply the BEST agent for the job. We will be recommending him to all our friends and family.

We are very pleased with Sergios professional work. From the beginning, 1. Sergio gave us the right price for our house when other realtors were telling us to sell for about 30k less than what we sold. All the realtors gave us comparables, but his was right on the money. 2. He coached us with staging and some minor repairs that proved to be key in getting our house sold for above our asking price. 3. He helped us with every open house we asked him to do even though we did one every weekend. 4. Sergio was very flexible in accommodating us as sellers who wanted to be at the Open houses; he helped us understand what would be good to do in the open house and why. 5. Sergio knows key people in the Southern California area that are experts in all aspects of real estate. His knowledge saved me 2k in escrow fees, approx. 2k in necessary repairs, and approx. 1k in buyer requested repairs. His kindness and thoughtfulness were clear in acts such as bringing food to the open house or getting needed carbon monoxide detectors. He also worked well with the buyers agent through every benchmark of the purchase process; for example, when there was a deal braking requested repair, he negotiated well even offering to pay part of the repairs himself. His negotiation skills are superior and worked clearly in my favor. We highly recommend him without any reservation. Please contact us if you have any question.
