Chelsie/mitch T. bought a home in Burbank, CA

" John helped me and my fianc with our first home purchase. He was professional, informative, and accommodating from our first meeting. We were lucky to have found our perfect first home within two months. John went above and beyond our expectations by being very accommodating to our hectic schedules. My fianc had to leave town for an emergency at work a week before Escrow was scheduled to close and John helped expedite the process of our final paperwork to make our close smooth despite the last minute plans. I would recommend John to all my family and friends looking for a home as he was so understanding to our needs and helpful in this exciting and stressful time in our lives. Thank you John Calvo!"

Janice T. bought a home in Los Angeles, CA

" John helped me purchase my first home. As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and John was always very patient and understanding with me and was able to give me great advice. Unlike with previous agents, I always felt comfortable with his advice and never felt he pushed me to make decisions just so he could make the sale. He was very thorough every step of the way, and made sure I understood every step of the process and every piece of paper I was signing. It was a pleasure working with John, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone for their real estate needs.

Dr. Jason R. bought a home in Altadena, CA

"It was my pleasure to be represented in the largest business transactions of my life by John Calvo. He is the epitome of professionalism in demeanor, attitude, work ethic, and skill. I've had the good fortune to work with John Calvo on 2 home purchases nearly a decade apart, and on one home sale. He made the entire process straightforward and I was left, in all cases, with the feeling that I had gotten a good deal. I would not consider buying or selling property in the Pasadena/Northeast LA area without the help and guidance of John Calvo. I recommend him as highly as possible and with no reservations."

Karla/carlos D. bought a home in San Fernando, CA

"John: My husband and I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all the knowledge, patience and professionalism you provided us with during our search. We were at the end of our rope up until you were referred to us and gave us newfound hope that we too could find our perfect property. We were extremely blessed to have you as our agent because now we reside in a home that we consider our "dream home". Thank you for even being there when we signed our closing docs. We can't thank you enough and you will forever be "the man" that extended a handful of kindness and patience to a couple from Los Angeles that longed to be part of the American dream. Much love and blessings to you, your company and your family."

Daniel C. bought a home in Los Angeles, CA

"Words cannot explain how much you helped us during our first homebuying process. From the first walk through, and respecting our requirements, as well as recognizing 'B****** Mortgage's' unethical loan practices to referring us to Bob, Charlie and Kevin. It showed us your outstanding commitment and work ethic. Even more, your advice for purchase price and 4.5% seller concession paid off. Thank you for fighting for us on the home repairs, the appraisal, and even when the seller failed to accomplish some of the repairs, you sent out your own contractor to complete the repairs. Your availability at all times along with your thorough explanations and advice on home ownership made our home-buying experience less arduous. Your representing us has been a blessing and a prime example of the attributes we believe a real estate agent should have."
