Trinidad Gaeta-RE/MAX Top Producers

My husband and I were looking for a home in LA (we are based out of SF). We ended up making a sporadic trip to LA and we ended up working with Trinidad (through Redfin).
Trinidad was quick to respond to our request to view a place and immediately gave us a call in the evening to schedule an appointment for the following day. We spoke briefly about what we were looking for including price point.
The next day we met with Trinidad at the property that we wanted him to help show us. Little did we know he came prepared and went above and beyond in his duties. Instead of just showing us the home we requested to see he had a couple of other options printed out for us to review and select. This was mind blowing and shows just how great of an agent he is. We spent the day with him and he showed us some other properties of interest. Throughout all of our property walk through he provided us with honest and clear suggestions and advice, which we greatly appreciated.
The reason why i said this was mind blowing was because we had met with another agent before we met with Trinidad that morning. This was also through a Redfin referral and this individual just came to show us the property and left immediately afterwards. He didn’t seem too interested and when we had asked him if he could check on a few things for us, he never ended up getting back to us. ever.
We ended up taking a lunch break and told Trinidad he didn’t have to tag along with us anymore out of respect for his time and also because we realized for the price point we were at and the type of property we were looking for there was very low inventory in those criteria.
Even after Trinidad left, he kept constant communication with us during lunch via text and sent us some more viable options after he dug a little deeper when he went back to his office. WOW!
In the end we went with to a property ourselves and really liked the location and wanted to see the inside. It had a lot of promise. We ended up creating an offer, however, we did not close (as there were some issues with the property that we couldn’t come to terms with the seller/​listing agent). Despite doing all the leg work of and going back and forth, Trinidad was never pushy about us following through with our offer. It was based on our gut feeling and in the end he was the one that took the pressure off of us and told us maybe it’s not the right property and we can always keep looking.
When you’re looking for an agent, there are a couple of things that you want in an agent:
1. An agent that has your best interest at heart and won’t pressure you into anything you want.
2. An agent that you can trust and get good vibes from. As silly as this sounds, agents get a bad rep for being sales people, but the truth of the matter is that they are and some agents out there are really just there to seal a deal. You want an agent that has a conscious and won’t just bull shit you. You need to feel comfortable!
3. An agent that is accessible. This means that they’re not going to wait even 24 hours before texting, emailing, or calling you back. When you’re in escrow and things get real you want an agent that’s going to give you all the answers you need and if they don’t have the answers they’ll at least reply and let you know they’re going to find out. Buying a house isn’t cheap and the last thing you need is an agent that doesn’t act. Time is of essence when you’re in contract.
4. An agent that can be professional but also have fun. Trinidad was always very easy going and as silly as it sounds had a very soothing voice. It was rather relaxing and it also helped that he had a sense of humor and sarcasm.
Trinidad is everything mentioned above and though we didn’t get the house, the experience was great and we would highly recommend using Trinidad as your realtor.
P. S. As a reference to some of the other reviews, Trinidad met with us without ever asking for a pre-​approval or seeing us before hand to pass any judgement about whether we were a good fit. When he had met with us my husband and I he was basically going into it blind, but still did his homework beforehand and was prepared for our meeting and set aside the day for us — no questions ask.

I met Trinidad while I was shopping for a rental property. I was new in town and looking to get back in the real estate business. I really liked his professionalism and asked if he was looking for team members. We sat down and I was offered the opportunity to join his team. It has been a blessing working for the Trinidad Gaeta Team. Since joining his team I’ve been consistently opening and closing transactions month after month. Fast forward 6 months and I am now a homeowner again thanks to the opportunity Trinidad offered me. I’m so thankful and excited moving forward and can’t say enough about him; a great leader, mentor, businessman and now a friend for life! I guess I can now say, if you’re looking to buy or sell call US! God bless.

I’ve known Trinidad for years and had a wonderful home-​buying experience with him in 2012. After browsing the real estate market in my area I decided to put an offer for a home in the Claremont area.
The home was a short sale and took about 4 months to close! The seller had so many complications but Trinidad was consistent in ensuring the sale went through.
With his bargaining help, advice and expertise in the greater Los Angeles market, my home is worth double!
I highly recommend reaching out to Trinidad when you’re ready to either buy or sell your home. He understands the market/​region so well and will do the seemingly impossible to get the job done!
I’ll be reaching out to him again when I’m ready to make my next investment.

I referred him a buyer to find a home and exceeded all my expectations. Within 2 weeks, he had found them a home and got them money for repairs and closing cost. Afterwards, I got a call from the buyers thanking me for referring them to Trinidad.

Trinidad was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was very professional and seemed to know the San Gabriel Valley area very well. I would recommend working with him.

Trinidad was both friendly and business minded. He is very knowledgeable about his trade and assisted me in selling my home. He has a high level of energy. He tends to all the business, answered questions, found a buyer, and was my advocate in all areas. I consider him a friend; one whom I can trust and depend upon that he will do all things necessary, and do them right and fast. I have used him in several transactions and have recommended him to my family and friends, who also have been happy with his service. I wouldn’t use anyone else!

Super unprofessional, always on his phone didn’t care much about us, up until he found out we were approved he seemed excited! Lol by that time we just wanted to leave.

Horrible experience here. Just because I came in a t shirt and jeans they told me that they don’t lease to my kind. I’m not sure of that was a racist remark but I’m very offended. Am not dealing with them ever again.

Very professional Realtor, solid advice backed by experience
