VB Realty Group – Keller Williams Pacific Estates

We love Vivan, we have now bought two properties through her and sold a third. Our last home purchase went on for months, we must have looked at at least 50 houses. The market in our price range was also very competitive and a lot of our offers were outbid. But we finally got our dream home, and I never felt like Vivan was frustrated or annoyed with how long it took, how many homes we wanted to see, or how many offers we wanted to write. Vivan always made herself available at the last minute to look at a house and she offered help finding inspectors and professionals when we asked for it. Its important to us to have a collection of people that we can trust when purchasing or remodeling a home. We count Vivan as one of these people and a friend.

My husband and I met Vivan when we were in the market for an investment property. New to real estate investing, Vivian met with us to share her expertise and get an understanding of our investment goals. After viewing numerous properties, we decided on a short sale single family home. Vivan was proactive, professional, personable and patient as she walked us through the lengthy short sale process. For anyone in the market to purchase real estate, we would definitely recommend Vivan. She works hard for her clients and always has your best interest in mind.

I am in my beautiful home all because of Vivan and Brenda! My fiancé and I literally had no idea of what it took to buy a home and Vivan and Brenda were there for us every step of the way. I couldn’t have felt more safe and willing to ask questions even when I felt they were silly. Vivan explained everything in a way that we were able to understand and she always made sure to put our needs first while being completely honest with us. During the search for a home, she was always in constant contact with us and went out of her way to work around our crazy schedules. They were not only amazing with us, but they worked well with our lender and the sellers of the home we bought. This was extremely helpful because it made the ENTIRE process smooth and hassle free. They even were great with our kids! Even after we were moved in, I still feel comfortable texting or calling Vivan whenever I need to and I know I will get a quick response. (I love that about her). Vivan and Brenda are just amazing people and I am going to use them as my realtors for as long as I can and would refer them to anyone!

Brenda helped my husband and I purchase my first home, showing us one home was all it took we found the perfect one for our family. Brenda was able to help us with a lender she recommended which was also great to work with. Brenda is awesome to work with and will go above and beyond to get the best deal for her clients. Her communication skills are amazing and she is accessible whenever you need her. I definitely recommend Brenda to all my friends and family. Thank you so much Brenda

Thank god I came across Brenda during my search for a home, she was so resourceful and made my condo purchase a very smooth and pleasant experience. So If you’re looking for an agent you found her.

Vivan and Brenda are the BEST! We worked closely with Vivan for about a year and half to find the home in which our family currently lives. We looked all over the place trying to find the right property that would both meet our size needs (I was pregnant with our first child at the time), our desire for a good area in which to raise a family, would meet FHA requirements and would fit into our budget. She was always quick to get back to me and had no problem putting the search on the back burner (but not completely on hold) for a bit while I had a baby. A year after our daughter was born she’d found it and the process went so smoothly I could not be more pleased.
I’ve recommended Vivan and Brenda to my best friend who had them help her and her husband sell their condo. She said she’d never worked with realtors who were so helpful and genuine.
I recommended Vivan and Brenda to my mother in law who has been considering selling her house and downsizing for 2 years. Though she is still undecided on what she’s going to do, she says she’s getting closer to deciding to sell and will only contact Brenda and Vivan because she loves their blend of professionalism and friendliness. She’s worked mostly with Brenda and says she loves that she never feels pressured, only informed and supported.
Vivan and Brenda are two truly exceptional people who will look out for the client in a manner that is comfortable, professional, reliable and trustworthy. What more can you ask for?

Brenda walked us through the selling of our townhouse in Buena Park with not one hiccup. For anyone needing a realtor we recommed her 100%. She has kept in contact with us long after the sale. We now consider her a family member. Thank you Brenda for the smooth sale

There is not a better real estate group anywhere. Brenda and Vivan are amazing and the real deal. Most agents do not bother to walk you thru all the details and fine print. They do and make sure that you understand the entire transaction process. They listen and take the time to make sure you find the home of your dreams. Why bother with part time agents that really have no clue when you can use the best it will save you time and money in the long run! The are truly the A Team!!!

Brenda and Vivan are amazing! One of my best girlfriends worked with VB Realty to sell her house, and had a wonderful experience, selling it for more than the asking price, and above the current market. I was planning to sell my house, but was in no hurry. This turn of events lit a fire, and with Brenda’s coaching, I was able to box up the clutter and turn my house into a beautiful show piece rather quickly and list it within the month. Brenda and Vivan are true professionals who pulled out all the stops when having my house photographed, advertised and shown. Brenda became a partner in the process, and walked me through each step, helping me to manage my expectations. When it came time to review offers and ultimately make a final decision, Brenda’s guidance was invaluable. In the end my house also sold above market, moving day came and went without a hitch, and I am happily ensconced in my little rental home, awaiting the perfect time to have Brenda and Vivan help me find my forever home. An event that could have been frightening and miserable, ultimately turned into one of the most positive of my adult life. Thank you Brenda and Vivan!

We chose VB realty group initially from the great Unilocal reviews, and couldn’t be happier with our choice! Vivan was our buy-​side realtor and from the first meeting, she explained things in a way we, as first-​time home buyers, could follow easily. Very professional, and returned our calls and texts promptly, even outside of normal working hours. She always had useful tips for what could and could not be changed about a prospective home. In fact, she is now a good friend of ours, because she works to earn your trust and is a genuinely warm and caring person. We were confident enough to go with her suggestions for home inspectors and contractor because we could trust her. She is an excellent communicator, and works well with other agents and lenders to let you know what to expect as the process unfolds. We saw a few homes every week based on our schedule and ended up with a lovely home in about 2.5 months. She was patient as we examined different choices and priorities, and never rushed us to do anything. The VB group are really motivated to see every client as part of a community, and even invited us to special events and gave us a housewarming gift! Overall, Vivan made the business of buying a home stress-​free and memorable. Very highly recommend.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Vivan Ainis and the VB Reality Group! They were referred to us by a friend, and being first time home buyers we didn’t quite know what to expect. We were amazed at the time and effort Vivan put into helping us through the process. She quickly became more like a friend rather than just our real estate agent. With her help and support we found a place on our first weekend looking and our offer was accepted in just a few days. She ensured escrow had everything they needed every step of the way and was always available for questions and support at all hours. I know we could not have had a better experience buying our first home and we would highly recommend this team for any of your realty needs. Vivan is the best!

Viv is by far the best you could ever hope for in a real estate agent. She is dedicated, thorough, incredibly receptive and worked harder than anyone I know to find us the perfect home.
My girlfriend and I are first time home owners, and the search can be quite a painful and frustrating experience. Being 1^st time homeowners, I think we were a little paranoid (maybe even beyond reason) and questioned absolutely everything, wanting to make sure we were getting something worth what we were paying for. Even with both of us being very analytic and knowing what we wanted, we still needed someone to guide us through the entire ordeal.
After having a somewhat negative experience with a different realtor, Viv pretty much held our hand throughout the entire process and talked us through anything we asked or anything she thought would be worth discussing. She was straightforward with things that required so, and solved every doubt we had. Her recommendations and insight were always valuable and we could not be happier having had her help us throughout. Being new to every single form, inspections, «common» purchasing practices and dealing with the sellers and their agents, this could not have gone any more smooth than it did.
If you are in search for a new home, VB Realty Group is DEFINITELY where you want to go. You will find unparalleled service and they will for sure find the perfect place for you.

I have to say that looking for my first home to purchase has been a more than wonderful and pleasant experience working with Vivan. It all started when there was an open house on Labor Day weekend and I stopped by to meet then agent, Vivan.
I asked Vivan lots of questions on that day and she was able to answer on the spot. I then decided to seriously consider going through the process of applying for a loan. Vivan put me through the loan officer and we are off to getting the pre-​approval letter within 2 – 3 days (considering it was a 3 day weekend). An offer was then submitted and accepted by the seller and voilà.
During the entire process Vivan was a true professional and very helpful at answering any questions I had and also at providing ALL the documentation needed in making this purchase. Since this was my first home purchase and it went very well I would not change agent if I were to consider selling my place and/​or looking to purchase elsewhere.
Thank you very much Vivan and VB Realty for making this purchase as smooth as it can be :)

We can’t say enough good things about Vivan and Brenda at VB Realty. If we could give them 10 stars we would. We were dreading selling our condo. Our previous experiences with realtors had not been great. However, Vivan and Brenda made the process painless.
Six months before we put it on the market we contacted VB Realty. We let them know that we wanted to sell as soon as our tenants’ lease was up. Vivan would call us every couple of months to check in. And anytime we called them with questions they responded quickly, even if it was the weekend. Because of the constant communication we were ready to hit the ground running as soon as the tenants vacated.
Vivan and Brenda explained very clearly what we needed to do to get top dollar for our place and gave us realistic expectations. Their knowledge and advise paid off better than we ever hoped. Our condo was only on the market for 6 days and we had 5 different offers to choose from. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. They even made signing paperwork easy. We live in Northern California and never had to leave the comfort of our home.

I met Brenda at an open house before I had chosen a realtor. She asked lots of good questions and offered great suggestions of areas she thought would be a fit. She later followed up to see how I was doing but was never pushy about becoming a client. Once I decided to work with Brenda and Vivan, there team work was great. They were both very up to speed on what was happening in our home buying process and covered for each other very well.
They did some neat things, such as a Duffy boat cruise, that made the experience of working with them even better. Whenever an inspection or other activity had to be done at the house we were buying either Brenda or Vivan or both showed up.
My wife and I both really enjoyed working with VB Realty and would highly recommend this dynamic duo.

My wife and I toured homes with Brenda from VB Realty. She was very professional and helpful. We chose VB Realty because of their reputation in Long Beach, some friends of ours recently closed on a home using them and they raved about their experience. Brenda brought a perspective on property that we just didn’t have and we are so appreciative of that.

A great friend told me about VB Realty, and I am so grateful. I highly recommend VB Realty if you are in the market for a Realtor. They are a dream team when it comes to Real Estate. Brenda showed me a couple of properties that we planned on renting out and I couldn’t have been happier with her showings. She has amazing ideas and is full of positive energy. They have invited me to their customer appreciation events and are so kind. They do truly appreciate their customers. Their website is very helpful and a great representation of their professionalism.

Vivan made the process of finding my first home smooth and educational. Upon our first meeting, I instantly felt confident in her representing me and keeping me informed. Being a property virgin, I had no clue what steps to take and she helped me every step of the way.
I never felt any pressure from her in regards to putting offers in or not. She makes it very clear that she is here for me, and never influenced me one way or another, but rather, always kept me informed. Even when I decided to switch directions and look for a condo as opposed to a house, she made the adjustment willingly and understandably.
If I had to do it all over again, I definitely would. And I’d definitely do it with Vivan and Brenda in my corner!

If you’re looking for a realtor to do a great job searching for your new home and help you through the madness of escrow and the aftermath of it, I couldn’t suggest anyone more personable and hardworking as Vivan. We switched our search location many times and she stayed willing and as passionate to find our dream home. Previously we worked with another realtor for 6 months and immediately we noticed a huge difference when we switched to Vivan. She helped us find a home in 2 months! She also connected us with her contractor who to this day helps us with the final renovations of our new home. I usually don’t write excellent Unilocal reviews but this one was definitely worth writing!

We recently closed escrow on our first home and we are so grateful that Vivan was our agent throughout the process. Vivan is an excellent communicator who is highly knowledgeable about her field with an eye for details. On top of that, she is simply a lovely person and a joy to work with!
When we first met with Vivan, we had meetings with other realtors scheduled. But after meeting with her, my husband and I felt confident enough to cancel the other meetings and go with her company. She came off as smart, professional and dedicated. But, there was also a certain x factor– she came off as a genuine and trustworthy person. When you are going through a complicated process like buying a home, you want to make sure you have professionals at your side you connect with and trust.
Throughout the process, Vivan was endlessly upbeat and friendly. She was a great listener, asking a lot of questions about our ideal home and really listening to our desires. She was also a great communicator, making herself available by email, text and phone. In fact, during the escrow process, she was my number one contact! A typical day went like this– I would email her with a question as soon as I got up. She would shoot back with a text. I would call her on my way home from work and the day would end with an email from her reminding us of the next deadline.
She is great in a pinch. When the seller of the property wouldn’t let the lead inspector in, I quickly called up Vivan. She was on it in a flash, calling up the seller’s agent and sorting out the mess to get the inspector in.
Vivan is also an endless bounty of knowledge about her field. But she is also smart enough to know what level of explanation is needed. She’s great at delivering concise, clear information.
I was recently listening to a friend recount her experiences with a different realtor, saying that she liked her realtor just fine but didn’t love her realtor. I can easily say that I loved my realtor!
