“I wanted to write this review because I had a great experience working with Marissa Joven at Pasadena Views to purchase and sell my home in Pasadena, CA. When I first moved to CA, I was touring an open house and had the good fortune of meeting Marissa. I had experience buying homes in other states, but knew I needed to learn about the CA real estate market. Upon meeting Marissa I was immediately impressed by her knowledge of the local market and her welcoming personality. I made an appointment so we can get acquainted, and afterwards I knew I found the person to help with my house hunt. Marissa took the time to get to know my real estate needs; and educated me on the CA real estate market. Marissa was easy to work with, and she proved to be adept at real estate. She demonstrated excellent negotiating skills and made sure all the details of a real estate transaction were taken care of. I believe with Marissa’s help I was able to get the home I wanted in a very competitive market. I couldn’t have been happier. … Fast-forward two years later, I took a job out-of-state and had to relocate. When it came time to sell the home I loved I didn’t hesitate to ask Marissa for assistance. Once again, she proved to be a very valuable resource as she took the time to understand my needs, help me price my home, negotiate offers, and manage the real estate transaction. She made suggestions to get my home to sell for top dollar and quickly. And, at times when the buyer and their agent were acting dysfunctional, Marissa was able to provide clarity and keep the sale moving along. Her advice and guidance was exceptional. I couldn’t have asked for a better business partner for handling my real estate needs and I wouldn’t hesitate to utilize her services again or recommend her services to friends and family.” – Mario S. via Yelp
