Professional Demeanor and Sensitive

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the professional demeanor and sensitivity of Humberto during the recent sale of our property. We have experience with buying and selling property for some time now and can attest that this recent experience has been truly rewarding.

It is amazing how calm and professional Humberto is even under the most strenuous conditions. In addition, this is one of the few Realtors that offer access any time when we had questions, comments, or concerns. As we told Humberto when we closed escrow "Kind of sad that we won't be talking on a daily basis".

Our thanks does not seem to be enough. We will try to stay in touch and certainly will send others to Humberto every opportunity that we have.

Our most gracious gratitude and respect.

Luz and Larry Monteilh

Absolutely Competent Realtor

I wish to express my gratitude and absolute confidence in Humberto Lopez. Not only as an absolutely competent realtor, but a no nonsense, level headed, logical advisor. If you are looking for a realtor, I recommend him with the highest certainty that you too will be extremely satisfied.
I was tasked with having to sell my deceased mother-in-law's home in a foreign and totally unfamiliar real estate neighbourhood and market. When I met Humberto he put me at absolute ease. He only asked questions and made sure that he fully understood my concerns and prerequisites before he made any suggestions of any kind.
When it came to pricing the house for sale, Humberto once again asked intelligent questions. Such as "How fast do you want to sell it?" I was really impressed with this.
From the moment we signed the listing agreement with Humberto, he took care of every last detail and anticipated every situation and followed up on and kept me informed all the way through.
A few things that really made trust Humberto:
1 - When I asked him which offer I should accept, he never tried to push me or peddle me on the one that would have made it easier for him. He argued the pros and cons of all the offers and he let me decide. I can not express enough how this reinforced the integrity and honesty that I innately knew that Humberto had and continued to demonstrated.
2 - Humberto cares as much about us the sellers as he did the buyers. There was an issue where an invoice for some agreed upon work did not get paid out of escrow. Even though Humberto had already been paid, he still followed up to work this issue out, even when it was really not even his problem.
3 - This was a complex sale, as we had to jump through hoops with the city due to their complex requirements just to be able to sell a house, Humberto got bids from contractors and made sure that this was all taken care of.
4 - This was a sale based on a death of a loved one. Family members were hyper sentisitive and bereavement continued throughout this process. Humberto had this uncanny ability to be sensitive to all the siblings needs and never pushed on anything. In a word, Humberto Lopez was absolutely brillant during the entire process. So much do I no have a new trust for consummate professional and a newly made personal friend in Humberto, that I would hire him to be my buying agent in my neighbourhood. (A neighbourhood he has zero knowledge of). I trust Humberto so much that I would still feel he would serve all my needs and go above and beyond. If you are thinking of selling or buying a home, it is with the strongest encouragement and endorsement that I recommend Humberto Lopez.
If you wish for intimate details of the many issues that Humberto handled during this transtion. Or if you wish me to authenticate anything in this letter, please feel free to call me or e-mail me.

Helped set our minds at ease

In 2012, my wife and I begin a very stressful search to purchase a home. We were a first time buyers with no experience in making such a large investment. We started off with a couple different agents that were not helping too much and we were having no luck.

I was fortunate enough to have been recommended Humberto Lopez and acquire the services of his company Century 21-A Better Service. I was shown many properties in my price range and in areas that I was interested in. This helped set out minds at ease because we finally found an agent that was willing to work for us. When we did find out home, all procedures were explained to us and we were advised how to proceed throughout the entire process.

We had a much better experience with Humberto Lopez/Century 21-A Better Service and now we are too highly recommend their beyong helpful and professional services.

Humberto Was Very Knowledgeable And Had Great Spirit.

While visiting an open house my family and I met Humberto Lopez. I had worked with prior realtors and was not tooo pleased with their service. When we met Humberto he was very knowledgeable and had great spirit. We decided to make him our realtor; immedialtely after he began collecting our paperwork, approved our loan, and began searching for homes. After looking at a few homes he was able to find us something that we were happy with. I always told fom prior realtors that we wouldn't be able to find a home in the area that we wanted Humberto made that happen for us!

The waiting process after your offer has been submitted can be very nerve wracking but every time we spoke to Humberto he put us at ease. He always kept us up to date on where we were in the process, sat down with us and went over ous calculations, and always followed up on our questions and concerns.

Buying your first home is not easy, especially finding an agent that you can trust and confide in. Since we were provided with excellent service from day; I've recommended Humberto and his team to my family and friends. Each one of them has closed escrow and has been happy with his services. Its always a great pleasure to work with someone so enthusiastic. Humberto Lopez and the team at Century 21 A Better Service Realty make is their job to help you meet your goals rather than their own.
