Success Stories

Toni Patillo is my real estate agent. She helped me buy my first home. She has been very professional, caring and helpful. It has been a great experience. Today I will get the key to my house. She has helped make it happen. Also I would like to mention that she was the seller’s agent as well, which I understand is exceptional! I highly recommend Toni! – Nicolette Janssen, R.D.H.

When the property sold, it was way over what I had expected to receive. You also took care of and explained the paperwork and procedures so that I could understand what was going on. Thank you again for your excellent Salesmanship and professionalism. – Anne Smith

Dear Toni: Thank you for being with me every step of the way. Your excellence in service is invaluable. As a first-time homebuyer your calm, consistent professionalism got me through a challenging process. The information you provided indicated that not only did you care about me making the right decision in the current market, but that you cares about my future as well. I am grateful for our relationship. Toni you are to be commended for the hard work that you do. And I wish you continues success and prosperity. – Eunice E. Vines

From our first conversation to the close of the transaction you are the quintessential professional that I was told of. You worked swiftly to locate what I was looking for, I am still amazed that you found me exact dream place in my price range. – Lisa Avery

Toni, It appears that we won’t be working together after all, and that is disappointing to me. As I told you on the phone a month ago, when the Lee’s offer was originally presented, I was very impressed with your approach to the short sale process and your professionalism. That opinion was reinforced by the manner in which you handled and expedited the acceptance of their offer and the opening of the escrow. I was excited to finally have a listing agent that “got it”, and was willing to follow-up on a sale after escrow was opened and didn’t just move on to their next project. I’m happy to hear that you have a back-up offer and will be able to take advantage of the short sale approval that you do have in hand, you deserve to benefit from the hard work that you have put into the process to date. In any case, I just wanted you to know that your efforts are noticed and appreciated by those of us who aren’t even your clients, as the level at which you operate is far above the standard that we see in our industry. I wish you continued success and look forward to having the opportunity to work with you at some point in the future. – Jeff Scott, Loan Officer, Pacific Funding Mortgage Division

I just want to take this time to thank you for your diligence, professionalism, excellence and care. As you know you facilitated me in my first home purchase just over a year ago and I’m so very happy. Most recently you listed my uncle’s home through the Probate process and delivered stellar results. I must admit the overwhelming response to your marketing strategy was staggering, not only did we get what we wanted but we got 20,000 over asking and closed the transaction within 15 days. – Vinette Bond & Linford Bond

To Whom it May Concern: I am writing this letter to articulate my appreciation and gratitude to Ms. Toni Patillo for being my guide in purchasing my first home. I had a “Dr.” of real estate whose bedside manner, intellect, personality, and knowledge of the professional was impressive. Once Toni had a chance to sit down with me individually in order to understand what I wanted as a client, within weeks’ time she showed me a several condos and houses I found very appealing. One unit I liked so much, we made a strong offer (within my budget, yet strong enough to let the buyers know we were serious) that was accepted and within 45 days of meeting Toni I had the keys to a wonderful first home. In all likelihood, Toni’s “Dr. Magic” is not always as swift given the white-water rafting adventure of real estate in Los Angeles. Nonetheless, Ms. Patillo is an excellent river- guide to have. She does not put clients into a cookie-cutter mode of what they should want or get. Instead, Toni assists her clients with feeling comfortable with what is best for them. In fact, Toni eased my fears about spending beyond my means (which one can easily be tempted to do in West L.A.) and that is why I chose her as my agent. She was the first agent out 6 or 7 that I spoke with that made me feel valued even though I wasn’t spending half-a-million dollars on a home (and she even made creative investment and buying suggestions I previously had no idea existed). I recommend Toni to any potential buyer, especially those “first timers” and anyone who wants an extra attentive, reachable, patient, “and not afraid to explain the nuances” broker. – David O’Neil Washington, Ph.D

Dear Tom, I just wanted to thank you for referring us to Toni and William. What an amazing team! As you know, we’ve had this property on our backs for seven years. It’s not pleasant to lose so much money, but it could have been infinitely worse if it hadn’t been for William and Toni. They worked their magic with the bank, and now we’re free from any further liability. We’re forever grateful to you for being a crucial link in this daunting process. I can’t tell you what a relief this is. – Mary and John Roberts

Hi Toni! We got a call from William today with the great news that our house closed. I do believe that meeting you and your team was providential. Through the entire experience we felt held in such a caring and secure place by you all. And now I sit in a place beyond gratitude and it is amazing. The world needs more people like you. You are the healers. William is such a fantastic human with a huge heart and a loving soul. I love you and really hope we see you very soon. Let it be known that it is people like you and your team that give people hope. I want everyone to know about you and I want to scream it from a mountain top. Peace and Blessings, Edi and Joni
