Success Stories

We selected Gil Rivera to sell our home because he was a local agent. His prompt response and knowledge of the area proved to be invaluable! Gil's expertise in the market allowed him to assist us in the proper pricing of our property which in turn allowed us to sell our home in 6 days!! Gil has been a true professional throughout the process. He replied to all questions or concerns promptly and made the whole process easy! We would highly recommend Gil Rivera to handle all your real estate needs.

Gil Rivera was amazing! On time, on purpose, on target! His marketing and pricing strategy proved to be picture perfect. After excellent advice on how to best stage the home for showing, within one week on the market our home had three competing offers. The Buyers bid up the property over the listing price and when the banks loan appraisal came in under our sales price Gil was on top of it, with a letter to the lender who raised the value $5,000.00. Then he followed up on glitches to keep the transaction moving along, gave us expert advice on how to best handle the buyers repair demands, closing the deal on time. I would not hesitate to recommend Gil’s services to anyone.

Thanks for the great service and advise on the sale of our Mom's home. It was very important to my family that we work with someone who would be patient with our 92 year-old Mother who was selling her home of over 58 years. From the start, you were on-board and provided us with excellent advice on the sale. You made yourself available as needed and were quick to respond to buyer inquiries which I think really helped with the sale, Working with you directly, I was able to accomplish most of the required tasks during non-work hours, which was a tremendous help to me. It would be my pleasure to endorse your service to prospective clients. Best wishes for the Holiday Season.

GIL is a Great Probate Sale Realtor! I want to let you know I am happy to give a recommendation for him. My father recently passed away and I had Gil's help with selling my fathers house in Fullerton. My father did not have the property in a trust so we did have to go through the court and probate. Gil was very easy to work with through the entire process. I followed Gil's advise to list the property quickly and found he was correct in advising me we would not need to put a lot of money or time into upgrades. We had multiple offers on the property and we closed the sale with the highest offer that was made. We sold for MORE than the Probate Court Appraiser said it was worth! I would be happy to use Gil's services again in the future when ever I need to buy or sell.

My mom had worked with Gil years ago on refinancing and liked him very much, When it came time to sell our place she chose to work with him again. It was the best decision she ever made. Gil provided us with helpful tips on how to present our home for pictures, which turned out beautifully. Our place sold in 3 days and for its asking price. Finding a new home was a much harder battle. There were specific requirements that my mom needed for her new home which were hard to find. after countless days and nights with working with Gil, my mom was able to find a home. He never gave up on her. His dedication like that makes him an amazing realtor. I'm looking forward to working with him when it's time for me to find a home.

Honestly, Gil was everything we needed in a real estate professional. Answered every question we had. Addressed every one of our concerns. He was always prompt in returning messages/e-mails. He went the extra mile to help us sell our property. Gil made the entire process much easier and less stressful than we ever hoped for. We highly recommend Gil to anyone needing representation. No question Gil is our guy for our next deal

Moved out of CA! Gil helped us through every step of selling the home we raised our children in. At all times he is professional, helpful, attentive, and kind. We appreciate that he made a stressful and emotional major life change as easy as possible for us.

Gilbert helped us with our first home purchase in 2011 and found for us an amazing 5 bedroom, 3 bath home! In 2015, our family decided to downsize and contacted Gilbert once again. This time the project included the SALE of the property and the process of finding 2 more properties to invest the equity from the sale. This was a task that required a trustworthy realtor that would take the time to explain the process, to assist with options and find accommodations of a rental until the new purchase. This required a person of integrity with loyalty to us that was interested in the success of this project. The home sold about 2 months later and the first investment home was purchased by Christmas of 2015...I remember that day like it was yesterday! Gilbert when above and beyond to get us into the property on Christmas Eve! The third phase of our project started soon after, and although the 3rd property has not been purchased due to my stubbornness, Gilbert has continued to show the same professionalism and positive attitude as he did on the very first day of this project. I can honestly say that Gilbert has exceeded my expectations, has always been honest and truthful, and prevented us from making a wrong investment. Gilbert has taken the time to explain different options available, has educated us on special assessment taxes in new homes, the positive and negatives of looking at short sales, defects discovered in different properties, and helping estimate expenses on homes. Gilbert has been more than our agent, he has been a friend and will be the person that will help our kids with their home purchases. Thank you Gilbert. J. Paz

Gil assisted us in both the sale of our former home and the purchase of our new home.

Most importantly, Gil is a good, honest man with whom anyone would be blessed to associate when it comes to these types of transactions
