Testimonials

Anna was instrumental in helping our family of five find the perfect home and I whole heartedly recommend her. Every step of the way was seamless because of Anna. She was extremely knowledgeable about the entire process of buying a home and ensured my husband and I were educated home buyers. She shared her expert insight into the area, she was patient in walking us through each neighborhood (pros/cons), diligent in highlighting potential homes, she listened to our feedback about each listing and incorporated the feedback into future suggestions, she was organized throughout and was incredibly detailed in the escrow process. I never worried that we would miss something because Anna is on it!! We truly felt like we had someone in our corner who would advocate for us and who had our best interests at heart. We couldn’t be more thankful for Anna and more happy with our home!

Working with Anna Rivas has been an absolute blessing. She handled the trust sale of my parents’ two properties — a process filled with unique challenges and unexpected hurdles — with incredible professionalism, patience, and grace. Anna tackled every obstacle head-on, always keeping me informed and calm no matter how complicated things became. Her communication, dedication, and genuine care went far beyond what I ever expected from a realtor. What stands out most is her calm and reassuring composure throughout the entire journey. I always knew I was in good hands. I’m so grateful to now call Anna not just my realtor, but my friend. She was truly a Godsend in one of the most emotional transactions of my life. Honestly, I wish I had more properties for her to sell — I already miss our weekly calls and her positive energy! Thank you, Anna, for your integrity, compassion, and commitment. You are one in a million!

Anna has been absolutely amazing to work with! She is experienced, professional, thorough, courteous, flexible and always on top of everything. This was our first home purchase and she provided us great advice, walked us through everything and made sure we were comfortable the entire process. Cannot thank her enough for all her help.

We made the move from Toronto, Canada to Redondo Beach, California this past January which in itself is a big deal, and more so when you don't have a clue about the area you are moving to. It was with a huge sigh of relief when we met Anna Rivas who helped us to get to know the area as a local, with respect to mapping out various neighborhoods and the benefits of each. In helping us find our dream home Anna listened to all the things that were important to us and executed them all with thoroughness, efficiency, and great attention to detail. In a matter of a week, Anna found us the perfect place with all the amenities we wanted! Anna made (what could have been a stressful and daunting task), quick and painless. Anna is a sweet, caring, and very thoughtful person (she frequently sends us useful links about what is going on in the area, activities that our kids might like to try, and has been an invaluable resource with respect to best doctors/dentists/hairstylists in the area). We have learned so much about the neighborhood from her that we feel like we've been living here for years instead of two months. Professionally, Anna is a stand-out agent. She has gone above and beyond the requirements of a real estate agent. Her attention to detail is incredible (ie: when it came to fixes that had to be taken care of before taking possession of our property), she noticed things I would never have seen and communicated all to the owner to get repaired. Her effective way of communicating didn't go unnoticed when Anna also had to liaise with the owner to get certain documents in order that we were not familiar with coming from another country. I highly recommend Anna Rivas for your real estate needs, she has your back and it is apparent that she loves the work she does. We were so fortunate to meet Anna and if it weren't for her, we would never have found our 'slice of paradise '.

Earlier this year we reached out to Anna to have her help us find and buy our house. While this was our first time purchasing a house, we had some second-hand experience from friends and family. Fortunately, Anna was incredibly helpful, organized, and thorough in educating us on the entire home buying process. She took time to understand why we wanted to buy a house, what we were looking for, and where were wanted to look. She drove us around to look at many listings to give both her and us a better idea of what we like and didn't like. When we found our house and were ready to put an offer, she gathered as much information about the seller and her motivations to craft our offer letter. She included a small gift along with the offer. The seller told us she was flipping through offers, just looking at prices, when she came across ours. She said Anna's letter (and ours) caught her attention and gave her an appreciation of why we wanted to buy her house. She also said that the small gift was a very thoughtful gesture and went above and beyond the other offers she received. After she accepted our offer, Anna walked us through the escrow process and was with us the entire way, even celebrating with us on the day we got our keys. The best summary I can say for Anna is what our seller's agent told our seller: she said that if she was half as good as Anna, she'd be doing a lot better. She prepares well, she knows what she's doing, she offers her honest opinions when requested, and she's a lot of fun to work with. We're definitely going to work with her again when we're ready to look for another house!

Anna is everything you would want in an agent. She is very involved in the South Bay community, so she has an extensive network and truly knows the area. She is friendly, engaging, and proactive. She listens, pays impeccable attention to detail, and has excellent communication skills. She is incredibly patient, always had our best interests in mind, and made sure we felt completely comfortable from the beginning to the end of our home search. As first-time homebuyers, this whole process was incredibly daunting. Anna provided us with multiple resources to guide us. As you can imagine, we had tons of questions. Anna took the time to answer each and everyone and explained everything to our satisfaction. Anna took us to many homes and refined her recommendations each weekend based on the feedback we gave. She called us one afternoon encouraging us to visit a house that we had previously viewed online but which, in our minds, did not meet the criteria for what we wanted. Based on Anna’s encouragement, we visited the house, and immediately realized she had found us our dream home. Anna gave us advice on how to strengthen our offer and it was accepted within 24 hours. We had a very aggressive timeline for closing and Anna made sure everything stayed on track by working closely with all parties involved. Anna helped make what we thought was only a dream, a reality. We can’t recommend her enough!
