My husband and I recently bought our first home in Redondo Beach with Todd Pearl as our realtor— what a great experience! We were referred to Todd by a friend who also bought with him. From our first conversation to delivering the keys, Todd was extremely responsive, personable, and professional. He first met with us for over an hour to get to know us, our lifestyle, and a sense of what would be most important to us for our first home. He then sent a customized e-mail list of new listings every day, quickly arranged showings, and patiently talked through the pros/cons of each place.
His expertise was immediately apparent when we put in our bid— he helped us craft an offer that would appeal specifically to the seller and gently coached us through the negotiating process. Todd guided us through the appraisal, inspection, and price adjustment on a short escrow timeline, making sure that we fully understood every step along the way and graciously answering all of our questions. After the sale was official, Todd continued to check-in with us and gave us a list of recommended plumbers, contractors, etc. to get us started.
As first-time home buyers, Todd educated us about the whole process and helped us to feel confident in our decisions every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier in our new home!
Thank you for everything, Todd— it was a pleasure to work with you!
worked with Todd, and just like the others we were not disappointed. He put in
a lot of work to help us short sale our condo. There were quite a few mishaps
that were out of all of our control, but he never let that affect his work
ethic or effort he put into helping us. He stuck with it for over 7 months
trying to sale this property and always kept us in the loop and a positive
attitude the whole time. In the end, he was able to sell the condo for the best
deal possible, and made the process as simple for us as he could. Whenever we
have a real estate need we always turn to Todd because we know we are getting a
knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated person.
You can tell just from speaking with Todd that he is an expert in his field. On all the viewings that we went to, Todd was able to provide numerous insights. Topics included info on local schools and parks, good and bad design choices for renovations, potential issues with a property that might cause trouble later, etc. Todd was always honest and direct when he gave his opinion. Also, while I didn't enlist his services as an attorney, his legal background also gives him that much more insight on the homebuying process.
When I finally did decide to put an offer on a home, Todd was professional and very quick to act. My property was a short sale, so Todd worked with all parties involved in order to move my bid along toward escrow. It was a very complex escrow process, but he was commutative with me every step of the way and was very clear with me about the things I needed to get done to move the short sale process along. During this time he was always happy to answer all of my questions, and always quick to give me status updates as things progressed.As a first time buyer on a short sale property, I thought I might have been getting into more than I could handle. But Todd made the whole process from start to finish as pleasant and stress free as it could be. Needless to say, I will be going directly to him the next time I buy or sell a property. Thanks Todd!
I had 3 sons, a 98 year old Grandma, my wife, a bunch of animals, and myself to get situated in a downsized home in California, while I worked and lived part time out of state in Kentucky. I had to start my new job right away and didn't have much time to oversee the details of coordinating the sale of our house in Redondo Beach. Todd handled so much for me, well above what a Real Estate Agent normally does prior to the staging and listing of a house. Todd assisted us in getting in touch with all the necessary trades and he dealt on my behalf with my companies relocation company, Paragon. He was so respectful of how important my time was and how limited my time was in between trips.
In short, Todd's super professional Web Marketing, Pricing advice, Staging, and Brokers open, created a lot of interest and our home sold at list price, in just one week! We began to shop for our new home all in the same window of time, bought a place, and also began all the necessary escrows all while keeping us in line and compliance with the relocation companies requirements. .
Todd handled all the details for both the purchase and sale. Todd kept the first time buyers, who purchased our home, escrow on track, the sellers, who's home we bought on track, and he and I agreed that I would require one week of temporary living at a local Residence Inn. Todd was there to assist my wife personally on all the necessary details, while I worked in Kentucky. He even managed to get the house Termite treated without us having to move Grandma, the pets, and the crew out more than once.
As usual, as the escrows were nearing their close, the new buyers had issues with their close and the seller of the Townhome we bought, did not have anywhere to go because her purchase escrow was also experiencing delays. This is when it got really interesting.
I told Todd I can only be home for 9 days, so we needed to close the sale of our home, close the escrow of our purchase, move into temporary housing, move out of our home, and move into our new home all in the 9 days!!! The new buyers were having issues, so they actually closed very close to our purchase escrow, so the move was almost ideal. Todd scheduled and coordinated most of our appts. with both Escrows and Relocation Company for us. He followed up with a call after ever apt to insure everything went well or address concerns.
Our escrows and closings went so well, that we actually felt bad for the other two parties, because Todd did such a great job keeping everything on track, that it kind of made the other agents look a little bad. LOL!
We only stayed in temporary housing for one week, closed the sale of our home up to the requirements of our relocation company, moved out, closed the purchase, and moved Grandma, the pets, and the whole Huante crew as planned in that one trip home.
Even though I would get a little stressed out trying to keep my wife happy while I worked out of state, Todd constantly provided my wife and me reassurance and honesty, all while he remained so calm, patient, and professional. At the close, the Real Estate package Todd provides in a binder and CD is incredible. It summarizes the transactions very clearly and assisted us very well during the filing of our income taxes. Looks like something you see from a major corporation.
In closing, please accept my personal recommendation of Todd Pearl for all your Real Estate needs. Since Todd is a Real Estate Attorney and Broker, he highly exceeds all the normal qualifications of an average Real Estate Agent.
I am an Executive for Toyota Motor Sales, USA, so my time at work and free family time is very precious. Todd Pearl, with Pearl Properties can handle any difficult situation and will respect your time, schedule, and family needs better than any other Real Estate Professional I know. If you are buying or selling a home, you need Todd Pearl!
homeOnce the searching was over, Todd relentlessly managed all the details of the transaction. He gave us a timeline for the full escrow process and explained everything, helped us find a direct lender that could work with our complex financial situation, and continually followed up with both us AND the lender to make sure everyone had all necessary information to get our loan approved. It's really amazing how Todd never stops working for you--not after you're under contract, and not even after you close the sale! He continues to be a great source of info for me whenever I have a real estate question, even though I don't plan to buy or sell anything any time soon.
Todd Pearl is not the typical real estate agent. I felt like I was not just a commission for him. I believed that he was truly there to help me purchase a good house. I knew basically nothing when I began looking at houses with him. Now I know the defects a prospective home buyer should look for as well as the good aspects when inspecting a house. I also know how to make an offer to a seller without insulting him or her. Last but not least, I know how to negotiate in regards to repairs that are required. I have a wealth of buyer knowledge to share with friends and family but I would rather send them to Todd Pearl since he is the expert.
I have an experience I would like to share because there is a positive side to it. Also because it confirms my belief that Todd Pearl is a perfectionist. During the daylight savings time change which began on March 14th, he had been sick at home for a couple of days. But he did not fail to show up for our scheduled appointment on Monday, March 15th. He unknowingly showed up about 30
to 45 minutes late because he had not set his clocks ahead one hour. He promised to never be late for another appointment and to make amends for his tardiness. A couple of days later, he reminded me again of his promise which let me know that he was more concerned about it than I was. That is something I would have done also, since I am also a perfectionist. Even though I believe perfection does not exist in this society, I strive to be perfect and so does Todd Pearl. That is a good quality for a real estate agent to have. It tells me that he takes his business serious. He gives it his best effort.
I am grateful to him for not cancelling the appointment since he was sick. That appointment to show me a house was for the house I was fortunate to be able to purchase with Todd Pearl?s expertise. As they say, timing is everything.
If you want a real estate experience and education that you will never forget, call Todd Pearl. I will remember this forever, not just because it was the first house I purchased by myself but because it was an enjoyable learning experience.
I give Todd Pearl an A++ rating because he is a unique Real Estate agent and human being.
Sincerely,
Anna B. Graham
"Thank you for your review (deleted member name). It was my pleasure helping you acquire your first home Feel free to continue to contact me with any questions, concerns and for all of your real estate needs."
I've recommended Todd to my friends and coworkers and they've have great things to say as well.
"Thank you for the kinds words. It was my pleasure assisting you with your first home purchase. Keep in touch and I will for sure."
Todd Pearl is the most intelligent, trustworthy, and honest real estate professional I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I say this as a former loan officer, the owner of three investment properties, and a (new) personal residence. Todd is quite simply the best there is.
Before I met Todd, I had been searching for a good real estate agent for ten years, but he is in a league of his own. As a trained attorney, his integrity is second to none. On several occasions, Todd dissuaded me from buying houses he didn?t feel were right for my family. It would have been easy for him to let me offer too much money for the wrong property, and walk away with his commission. However, Todd helped my wife and me buy the right house, in the right neighborhood, for the right price, just in time for the birth of our first child. We couldn?t be more grateful for his assistance, advice, and guidance.
Todd stands out among his peers for so many reasons, that it?s simply not possible to adequately express them all in a short testimonial. With Todd, you never have to worry if things are going to get done on time, they just do - Todd ensures it. Ultimately, Todd means what he says, does what he says he?ll do, and is always thinking ahead to protect your interests in a real estate transaction. As an active advocate for professional ethics in the real estate community he has earned the respect of others and is a steward of the South Bay.
Todd embraces and leverages technology to make your experience as a home buyer more pleasurable, and ultimately, more efficient. With Todd, I was saved the hassle of printing, signing, scanning, and faxing mountains of documents; everything was handled quickly and efficiently using DocuSign. With Todd?s iPad in hand, he keeps all of the information you?ll need at his fingertips: inspections, reports, photos of properties, contacts, and the list goes on. As a working professional, this made the home buying process much easier to fit into my daily schedule.
My home buying experience has shown me that Todd is a resource that I will rely on long after the close of escrow, and I look forward to using him for all of my future home purchases.
"I am so happy that the purchase worked out like it did. From starting the home search from abroad and vieiwing homes with your friend to finding a home for you in the Golden Hills (your preferred location), the end result could not have worked out better. I enjoyed working with you both and look forward to our continued relationship going forward."
Every step of the way, Todd was able to advise us of the available options, warn us about potential issues and on at least two occasions managed to save us considerable expenses (e.g., recommendations for vendors to get the house ready for market and more importantly, saving us from having to make a cash contribution to our short sale lenders). As stressful as the whole process was, we were confident in Todd's ability to think ahead and plan for contingencies. This was quite evident especially during our short sale negotiations. We were incredibly impressed when Todd and his short sale negotiation team managed to close a deal that included quite favorable terms to us (and the buyers) despite the fact that one of our lenders was a notoriously tough one, and also that we lost our original buyer at the last minute! We had other unforeseen drama that nearly put the whole deal in peril at the very end (due to delays from the buyer's bank) and almost ended up in a foreclosure auction, but Todd managed to handle that as well -- almost magically.
We cannot imagine going through the short sale process without Todd, and we know we probably would not have closed if it hadn't been for him and his team. We wholeheartedly recommend him and certainly plan to use him in the future.
