Bought a Single Family home in 2010 for approximately $3450k in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.
Summary:
George had come highly recommended to us by a friend and he really came through for us. We weren't easy as we were living in NY and had decided to move to PV but weren't sure when that would happen so George patiently showed us homes and guided us for 3 years! He helped us rent a home while the one we purchased underwent construction. He always had the best attitude and happiest demeanor and that made looking for a house extremely pleasant and surprisingly easy. He was incredibly helpful with providing my husband with valuations and statistics as well as letting us know about the various neighborhoods, schools and even micro-climates. Super, easy going and down to earth. Now he's helping my parents find a home so they can move out to California as well. He's the best!! Couldn't ask for a better agent than George. Jennifer Dworman
