Oscar was a Godsend when it came to buying our first house. In the past we found the home buying process to be highly stressful and overwhelming. We had been so discouraged we had discontinued our search. This time around though, we had Oscar, and with his guidance things just felt much easier. When we first started working with him he laid out the whole process for us in a very easy to understand way — creating confidence in knowing what we were getting ourselves into. Every step of the way he helped guide us in whatever direction we wanted to move towards. The best thing about Oscar was that he was good at showing us our options and explaining strategies we could use during the process - all while never pressuring us. It always felt in our control of when and where we wanted to meet up, how we wanted to proceed with our offers, and who we wanted to work with in regards to our lender, inspectors, and/or contractors. He was a great resource for when we didn’t know what to do or if we didn’t understand something. His knowledge and experience gave us ideas on how things typically go, but also showed us that things can happen in other ways too. The personalized experience he gave us made it so that we always felt comfortable to reach out and ask questions - which is saying a lot, because we can both be pretty shy. We really can’t thank him enough for making our first home dreams become a reality. It’s rare to find an agent who can provide such thorough guidance while making you feel completely in control of the process. We truly can’t imagine having a better experience and highly recommend his services. 5-stars for Oscar!

We highly recommend Oscar for any real estate needs. He guided and supported my partner and me through the purchase of our first home. Oscar was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the entire process--from touring to closing. He is an excellent communicator, answering all of our questions clearly and thoroughly and was always prompt and responsive. He is also a skilled negotiator and was able to get our closing costs fully paid for by the seller as well as a signficant price reduction. My partner and I look forward to working with Oscar again for any future home-buying or selling needs, and we will gladly recommend his services to our friends and family.

Oscar Review Oscar Montalvo was absolutely phenomenal! He went above and beyond, guiding us seamlessly through the entire home-buying process. Always available, he promptly answered every question we had with patience and expertise, making us feel confident and supported at every step. We never felt pressured to make an offer if the house didn’t feel like the right one for us. Oscar’s dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in finding our dream home. We’d highly recommend Oscar to help you find your next home.

At each step in the whole process, Oscar came through with his commitment to excellence. The negotiation skills were first-rate – he consistently found ways to get me the best deal possible. he went out of his way to ensure every single detail was taken care of. Oscar demonstrated immense patience and understanding of my situation. Whether I needed additional time for research or require more information of the property.

Oscar is the best agent ever! Every week we were seeing houses all over the San Fernando Valley. He made me feel like I was his only client. Though I know I wasn't.

I could not have had a better home buying experience. It it so important to have an excellent realtor in this stressful process. He made it easy

Oscar was a great help and resource throughout the entire process. Being a first-time homebuyer, it can be daunting to find the right house, place an offer, secure financing, go through escrow…you get the idea. Thankfully for us, Oscar let us know what the process would be like beforehand, so there were no surprises and we felt ready to deal with each and every step along the way. It really was a smooth process once we found our home. Always available to answer all of our questions, both big and small, Oscar was always prompt and knowledgeable when we needed it most. We can’t recommend Oscar enough!

We were fortunate to meet Oscar Montalvo via a referral from a friend who happened to retain Oscar to assist him in the sale of his condo. Oscar was familiar with this property and gave us insight and direction in placing this condo for sale. It was a very wise decision on our part to retain his expertise as the sale proceeded very quickly under his professional guidance. I am impressed with his real estate knowledge and would highly recommend anyone who wishes to buy and or sell a home, be it a condo or single family home. Thank you.

Oscar helped me and my husband buy our first home. From the time we initially talked to Oscar to when we received the keys to our home time flew by like it was only a day. That's only possible when you have an agent that is in control and is taking care of everything without you having to worry. Oscar went above and beyond for us. He took the time to explain everything to us. Even things our lender explained to us Oscar had already given us a heads up. We would recommend Oscar to our friends, any prospective home buyer especially first time home buyers. As a first time home buyer, what we needed was someone we could trust and Oscar checked every possible box you could ask for in an agent. Thank you oscar for taking care of us and getting us through the process in one piece.
