Success Stories

Pueblo Ln, Topanga – The owners could no longer afford the property due to recession. The short sale was approved and they walked away with $5,000.00 towards their relocation expenses. We were also successful in settling the delinquent HOA dues for less than half of what was owed.

Elm Park Ave, Rialto – The homeowner passed away and left his home to the Family. Unfortunately they owed more than what it was worth. We were able to negotiate $8,000.00 to go to the Trust which assisted with attorney & relocation expenses. We also settled back HOA dues for $2,000.00 which was half of what was owed.

Apache Ln, Topanga – The homeowner moved out and relocated for retirement, and could no longer afford the home. We successfully negotiate the short sale and the Seller was able to walk away with just over $11,000.00

Lyceum Ave, Los Angeles – This one was wild! We received approval with the current Lender and right in the middle of closing they service released it to another Lender. Keep in mind the approval letter was expiring and we negotiated $5,400.00 which was going towards relocation assistance which the Seller desperately needed. I reached out to the Vice Presidents with both Lenders and was able to get the new Lender to honor the approval letter. It was a win win for everyone.

Toni, I want to formally thank you and your crew for doing a stellar job in assisting with a very challenging client and short sale which as you know was at the end of its life. Not that I have to tell you as you already know, but William on your team did an amazing job and stayed on it to the end and beyond. I appreciate you and your efforts and will gladly give testament to the service you offer. Truly, Zan

I called Toni because I was interested in leasing in Santa Monica. She asked if I was interested in buying, and I admitted to her that although my husband and I would love to own a home in that area we didn’t think we could afford it. Toni was so nice and welcoming. In fact, she told us she was confident that she could get us a short sale in our price range. A few months later she did! Even though we were first time buyers and needed to be walked through the bidding and transaction process Toni got us in an amazing home in no time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor. – Shelley Watson, Santa Monica

I cannot speak highly enough of Toni Patillo and her team. When my wife and I bought our first home ten years ago, we thought we were securing our piece of the American Dream. And instead it almost cost us everything. When you’re faced with debt and foreclosure every day, it has a way of weighing you down. After our first consultation with Toni that burden was lifted, and for the first time my wife and I felt like there was a way for us to survive this. Toni and her short sale manager and negotiator Jason know what they’re doing, and you can just tell that they actually care about helping people. Since short selling just over 16 months ago, my wife and I have already bought another home. I can’t thank Toni and her team enough for helping us lose this toxic debt and giving us the ability to move on. – Jorge L., Los Angeles

Toni & her team are the best at what they do. If we ever know of anyone located in the LA area needing a short sale, or needing to buy or sell, they’re the first and only that we will refer. Their team genuinely cares about every client. If you’re in a position of needing a real estate agent, don’t hesitate to contact them. – Glen Henderson, Realtor, Keller Williams San Diego

WOW! Toni is an amazing broker. Highly experienced in closing complex transactions, she is a master short sales and probate. After my father passed and I was named as an executor I was totally overwhelmed, especially when I found out there was no equity left in his home. I am so glad one of my family friends told me about Toni. She truly cares about her clients and takes the time to deal with people personally and to walk them through the process of selling every step of the way. She made me feel like I was her first priority at all times! Her staff was knowledgeable and courteous too. She completed my short sale/ probate transaction in three weeks, even after other people told me it couldn’t be done and I was better off letting the house foreclose. I would highly recommend her and her team to anyone. – Ruth Middleton, Glendale

I would like to highly recommend Toni Patillo as a real estate agent. She facilitated the process of my purchase of a duplex in the Los Angeles area. Upon meeting her, I would immediately have described her as a warm person eager to assist me in the home buying process. In fact, she referred me to a lender, whom she worked closely with and trusted. Her referral was most helpful as he was able to approve me rather quickly. Toni was more than knowledgeable about real estate law and gave me advice accordingly . She made herself readily available and returned all of my phone calls expeditiously being of the utmost assistance in my need to clarify any and all of my questions. I commend her for her professionalism during the escrow process and am thankful that she assisted me through what could have been a very hectic process. Most importantly, escrow closed in 45 days. – Hazel Rappino
