Buyer: "When my wife and I decided to buy our first home in Pasadena we wanted an agent who was familiar with that market. We came across Pasadena Views Real Estate by chance and it was best thing to happen to us during our home search. We inquired about a listing and promptly received a text from Marissa Joven and we are so fortunate we were able to work with her. From day one, Marissa was thorough, professional and attentive. She would set up showings--same day whenever possible--and she was able to work with our demanding schedule. Texts, phone calls and emails we were returned immediately. This was our first home purchase and Marissa took the time to educate us about the ins and outs of the home buying process. Not only is Marissa great at was she does, but she has such a great heart and really cares for her clients. She even recommended a lender who helped make the process smooth and stress-free. And, as we neared the end of escrow, Marissa reminded us to take care of the little things, like turning on utilities and transferring internet and cable service. Everyone she works with exhibited a similar level of professionalism and we couldn't have been happier with the attention we received. Although we know we weren't here only clients, it felt like we were. If you're in the market for a home in Pasadena, do yourself a favor and work with Marissa Joven and Pasadena Views!"

Buyer: "We bought our first home recently and couldn't be happier, thanks to Leslie Bohling! About a year ago,she contacted us soon after we signed up on the Pasadena Views website, and we later met & talked about the home buying process in detail. We were wanting to buy our first home, but we were not in a rush at that time. Fast forward to this year, we felt "ready" to finally get pre-approved and search for our forever home. She is always super professional, patient, kind, quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had (which we had a lot of throughout our first home buying experience), and we felt so thankful and comfortable knowing she was our hard working agent! After searching for homes actively for about 3 months, when we finally found "the one" we wanted, she really helped us by making the transaction as smooth as possible. She also worked with us and our lender to ensure the financial process was smooth. BTW she is also knowledgeable with various home inspectors, contractors, termite pest control services, etc, so when you need to use those services she could totally recommend you a variety of people (without being pushy at all, she just gives you so many choices/options should you be busy to do your own researching, as I was). We have only used a real estate agent once in our life time as this is our first home buying experience, but we really think Pasadena Views & Leslie are one of the best people/business we have interacted with ever! And we honestly believe that things have gone this easy and smooth because of Leslie. Totally recommend her to any and all my friends in the future. Thank you Leslie!!! :)" - Takashi N. via Yelp

Buyer: "Looking to purchase our first home, my boyfriend and I were clueless newbies in the real estate world. Thankfully, I found Irina on Yelp and based on her stellar reviews we scheduled a meeting. Irina is extremely knowledgeable, honest, sweet, patient and efficient. During our first meeting, she educated us on the condition of the market we were about to enter and explained that it was a sellers' market. Not to be discouraged, she presented a strategy that would allow us to have an edge against other potential offers. She is hands down awesome. Never pushed properties, let us be in the driver seat when it came to what listings we wanted to see. She was always an email, text for phone call away, always prompt with her responses to my endless questions. The seven month journey to find our home was tiring and frustrating at times, but Irina always seemed to bring about a calmness- always reminding us that our home was out there. She was right, we just closed escrow a week ago and we are so happy Irina was there every step of the way. If you are looking for an agent, don't hesitate with Irina and her team. They are truly amazing." - Lisa and Hector via Yelp

Seller:"My wife and I along with my Mother in Law decided we were done with condo living and wanted to look for a property with 2 homes on it. My wife and I had been in touch with Becky Robertson from Pasadena Views already because we were passively looking for our own property. Becky has been a pleasure to work with on the sale of our condo as well as the purchase of our new house which we are now in escrow on. On top of that Becky is helping us sell my Mother in Law's condo as well. She listened to our feedback on the type of property we were looking for and really honed the search. Everything about the experience has been positive. Becky and her broker, Irina came out to our place and gave us tips on how to stage and it worked!! Their marketing was great, from terrific photos to a website dedicated to our property. We had an over market offer the first day and three total offers within the first 48 hours of it being on the market. Buying and selling can be very stressful and Becky made it very easy. She is always very quick to respond and kept us informed through the entire process. I highly recommend working with them if you are doing either. They are very professional and very open and honest." - Scott & Hillary via Yelp

Buyer: My wife and I bought our first home two months ago with the help Irina and Marissa and we couldn't be happier. The process started with Irina sitting down with us talking us through the entire home buying and escrow process before beginning the search, so once we found the place that we wanted we could immediately move forward without any confusion on what happens next. Both Irina and Marissa were very respectful of our what we wanted in a home (Big Kitchen!) and whenever something came on the market they were sure to let us know. Marissa was always able to fit our schedule for viewings and arrived promptly. (Sorry that I was always a few minutes late, it was my fault every-time!) We felt very comfortable discussing the pros and cons of each property, and Marissa was always understanding if we ended up being a little nitpicky in our decision making. When we found our home it was love at first sight, when I said we would like to make an offer; Irina and Marissa stepped into overdrive to have the paperwork ready for us in a few short hours. The escrow process happened in a blindingly fast 3 weeks, during which Irina and Marissa were always a quick email or phone call away if there were any questions or concerns. Now we have been living in our new home for two months and couldn't be happier. 5 stars seems too low to give them. I found them highly professional, courteous and very experienced with the Industry. They were able to give a pair of first time home buyers an amazing chance in a market that was very disadvantageous to us. I would definitely recommend to any family or friends who are looking into buying or selling homes in the Pasadena.
