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.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Oscar Montalvo to sale my home.

From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure! From our initial conversations and throughout the whole process, Oscar was professional. He was highly knowledgeable about the local market and made sure I always felt like a priority. 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. He went out of their way to provide me with extra resources and various options I could consider when deciding. “Beyond his expertise and professionalism, Oscar was amicable and kind throughout my home sale process. He answered all my questions with in-depth explanations, ensuring I fully understood what I was doing and why it was necessary.” Great experience!

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. Once we found our house he was so on top of giving us the advice we needed for the offer and so on top of all of the paperwork needed. He was so responsive and kind and accommodating. 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

We couldn't have had a better experience in the sale of our family home!

Oscar made everything so easy from start to finish. He is so reliable, there with us every step of the way. Selling the house you grew up in is not and easy experience yet he got us through it with such efficiency and knowing we could trust him whole heartedly made it that much easier. Our family thanks him so very much and Highly recommend him ! He is 100% the Best of the Best!!!

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!

Could not recommend a more gifted and personable agent! Truly blessed to have Oscar as our agent! Robert Hudson

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.

Maryam N. · Sep 2022
Oscar and Alex have been a pleasure to work with.

We bought our first place with them in 2016. Now we sold and re bought with them. Oscar made the buying/selling process extremely easy and worry free. He was never pushy or put pressure on us. We could give him our complete trust in selling/buying and knew he wouldn't take advantage of us. If you are looking for an agent, contact Oscar!!

First off, I want to say that this process is difficult and would have been even more so if I didn't have Oscars guidance.

I really would like to express my gratitude and thanks to him for literally hand-holding me through this process. He is a one-stop shop, he has been doing this for years-he truly loves what he does and you can tell.  I had initial phone calls with quite a few agents to see how I felt about getting the process started, he was not pushy or annoyed with my MANY questions as some other were. He gladly shared his information guide with me (which is super helpful btw) and although most other agents wouldn't even continue a conversation unless I had pre-qualified for a loan-he did! I'm sure he would tell you that my situation was very unique to say the least but through it all he was prompt, cool, and collected. He always had more information than I asked and was willing to find out the info if he didn't.  I will absolutely go through Oscar for anything home related and will be using him again in the future. I can't say enough nice things about this experience with Oscar and my review doesn't do him justice. Thank you so much Oscar for everything you did, I can't thank you enough!

Jeanette V. · Oct 2019
This was our first time buying a home--in the midst of a global pandemic and a super competitive marketplace, nonetheless.

Oscar was instrumental in guiding us through the process. He not only explained everything in a way that was easy to understand (from working with the mortgage lender to making the offer), but he was also always available to answer our questions. After months of looking and getting outbid, we finally had an offer accepted in our ideal city of Calabasas. There were multiple offers on the property and Oscar successfully helped us negotiate the deal. We couldn't have done it without him!

Elissa G. · Apr 2021
I am a first time home buyer and felt very intimidated by the whole process.

Oscar has such great energy and put me at ease by answering the many questions I had so quickly or getting the answer if he didn't have it. I think trust and honesty are most important when working with a realtor and you will find that in Oscar.

Cecilia C. · Mar 2023
Absolutely a pleasant experience working with Oscar and team Montavlo.

Can't say enough! Oscar is very professional, friendly, honest, super patient and puts his clients interest and priorities ahead of every thing else. He is simply the best! Highly recommended!

Mina R. · Nov 2020
Oscar got me and my husband a house with everything in our checklist during the covid crisis.

He was able to make things happen fast and get things done right before restrictions that would have resulted in us losing out on getting this dream home.  It is actually a miracle what Oscar and our lender was able to accomplish during this covid crisis.  Not only is Oscar efficient but he is also very friendly and easy to communicate with.  He is now our dear friend and would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.

We were paired with Oscar randomly through one of the online home sites to show us a house about a month and a half before listing our condo.

We immediately felt good about having him show us other homes and after seeing four or five homes I ask him if he wanted to see our condo to list it. Great decision! Oscar was always on top of all the details, returning phone calls or emails super quick if not just answering the phone in the first place. He walked us through every step of the way. His advice on staging, photos and setting a price paid off too. We had three offers after just three weekdays on the market. By that Friday we had sent out counter offers and by the following Monday we had accepted an offer. Oscar also went above and beyond the day before the appraisal. He called me that evening to check in and see if I was ready. When I told him I was having difficulty finishing bringing something up to code his reaction was "I'll be right over". Oscar came over to the condo and helped me until everything was finished at about 11:00 PM. Call this guy! Jeff Peters

Oscar helped my fiancée and I purchase our first house.

Anyone who has been through this process, especially in Los Angeles, knows how overwhelming it can be. Oscar did an amazing job helping us find our home, and walk us through every step of the purchasing process. He was always available to look at prospective homes and was completely upfront if he saw any issues, we never felt pressured. I would 100% recommend Oscar to anyone looking to purchase a home in the area!

Andrew L. · Nov 2021
My husband and I selected Oscar Montalvo to help with the purchase of a new home.

We wanted someone that was very knowledgeable and could help navigate us through the process and Oscar did not disappoint! Oscar was very attentive to our needs and understood what we were looking for in a new home. Oscar was flexible and accommodating to meet our varied work schedules which was very helpful. Once we found the "ONE", he kept us well informed. His years of expertise in the field were apparent in the level of information provided, including home inspection tips and financing options. We highly recommend Oscar and look forward to working with him again in the future.

I worked with Oscar two times over the past five years and he is definitely one of the most knowledgeable and friendliest real estate agents in the San Fernando Valley.

He explained all of the technical terms to me through every step, responded to my texts and calls at any hour of the day, and made sure I got the best deal possible. Oscar, however, did much more than this and much more than a typical agent. I moved to a new state before completing the sale of my home. A lot still needed to be done and Oscar was able to change multiple broken outlets, fix the air conditioner, install a new sink and smoke detectors. He got multiple quotes for each project that needed to be done and went way beyond his job description to make my life easier 2,000 miles away. I highly recommend Oscar to anyone buying or selling a phone. Fair warning, you will also miss him once you are done working with him.

Where do I start!

Oscar Montalvo is the most professional real estate agent we've ever had the pleasure of working with! He is very responsive, patient, honest and thorough. Don't hesitate in contacting him. Highly recommended!

What a great experience.

Oscar knows his business. As a first time buyer, he taught me a lot about real estate. Definitely will refer him to others that are looking for a personal and professional experience.

Bill S. · Jun 2021
Working with Oscar to sell my condo was a fabulous experience.

Oscar kept me informed every step of the way. I had several challenges related to my property and Oscar handled them all with a calm assurance of a true real estate professional. Friendliness and communication cannot be overstated. He is easy to work with and answered all of my questions no matter how many times I asked the same questions. I couldn't have sold my condo without him. Absolutely wonderful experience working with him. Highly recommended!
