CLIENT REVIEWS

During one of the most difficult and trying times in my life, they pulled off the impossible! It was during the recession. They made the selling of my mom's home (my childhood home) one of the fastest & easiest experiences! Thank you!

- William and Gale

Just so you know - Peter and David cannot only sell you a house, but sell your house, and they can make a difference when it comes to your loved ones, and in their time of need - being instrumental in the sale of their estate, for which we are personally grateful, in so many ways...

- Nancy Hathaway

As an architect, I can easily say that Peter and David are enormously talented and a pleasure to work with. They have great vision and when we worked together, it was truly a collaborative process, resulting in wonderful living spaces.

They always went above & beyond for us. Can't imagine having done it without you. Thanks for the advice and vision and creativity and persistence! So glad to have met you and love being your friends and neighbors.

Peter and David were so incredibly helpful and patient in helping us with purchasing our first home. We are so grateful to them! Thank you!

- Emily & Evan Smith

Usual story - Aging woman in the midst of a divorce, having to sell the family home alone. But I wasn't. David & Peter took such good care of me. At one point, my then 96-year-old mother said "When they turn out to be the usual jerks, I am going to be so disappointed." But they never were. I'd be happy to say more.

- Laif Swanson

I met Peter & David many year ago through mutual friends, and pretty instantly felt like they were family. When I found out they were realtors, I knew they'd be the guys to help me find my first home. Their expertise, dedication, and compassion guided me through the intimidating process, and I'm thrilled to say they made my dreams come true!! I'm grateful every day that they're a part of my life. I'm in love with my home and with Peter & David.

- Cindy Basco

Peter and David are wonderful! They understand the neighborhood and support what we are all about!

- Susan and Jack Reynolds

We had a terrific experience when we sold our condo. David and Peter were super attentive!

- Kathi Smith

Through all of the work we did with David and Peter, in the stressful mores of both purchasing a home and selling a home, one thing remained true, which was the level of kindness and calm that they brought to ever interaction with us. We felt like we were not only in expert hands, but extraordinarily wonderful and kind hands. We are proud to now consider David and Peter not only our realtors, but our friends. They are two of the most lovely human beings I have had the pleasure of knowing.

- Julian Wass and Jenace LaMarque

Wow! I can't find a word to describe Peter & David. They are genuinely compassionate with integrity and a heart of gold. They have a huge piece of my heart.

I came to Peter through the recommendation of a colleague of his who was retiring. For me it was a most fortuitous happening. From our very first meeting in my father‘s home, which we would come to sell for far beyond what I thought it was worth, to our final meeting in a Starbucks off Colorado Blvd. Peter was never short of consummate professionalism. I was in the position of having to sell my father’s home from 3000 miles away. This being the case I had to trust my realtor entirely. Peter coordinated basic repairs to the home, its staging, to me a surprising bidding “war”, and the home’s ultimate sale. He was patient with my lack of technology and guided me through the entire process with patience and humor. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone who wants the best.

After my husband and I decided to put our South Pasadena house on the market, we reached out to Diane and Peter for their real estate expertise and experience. Both of them and their team helped us with every step of the sale, including advising us on timing, recommending critical home improvements to make the house more appealing, and connecting us with trusted professionals to complete improvement projects and inspections. Since we moved out of the house before it went on the market, we relied on them to oversee staging and last minute repairs. With their help, we received an offer within less than a week and wrapped up escrow in less than a month of putting the house for sale. We would highly recommend Diane and Peter and their team for anyone looking to purchase or sell in the San Gabriel area!

I just want to thank everyone at Peter Martocchio & Associates for the amazing jobs you all did in selling my house. Working with all of you was a stress-free joy; the staging was gorgeous; all details were taken care of well in advance, and everything was perfectly orchestrated. It was even fun!
Thank you all! See you next time!

My Best,
Stuart Spikerman

I would highly recommend working with Peter Martocchio & Associates. I sold my Pasadena house of almost 20 years with seasoned professionals David Goldberg and Peter Martocchio and their associate Lorraine Escalante. They provided grounded and realistic advice, top-notch service, and amazing support from the start through closing. They are an outstanding team.

- Michael Ruszczynski

Peter and Diane shepherded the sale of our parents’ home in South Pasadena, and we could not have asked for a better team. We knew the house was a valuable asset, but our parents had lived there for many years and it was very dated. Because I live out of town and my sister is extremely busy, we needed people we could trust to take charge of the process, get the house ready for market, and maximize the sale price. Peter and Diane completely transformed the house in just over a month, handling everything from start to finish. The result was incredible. Between the renovation work and the staging, the house looked so beautiful that many people hardly recognized it as the same home. Once it hit the market, Peter and Diane managed the constant flow of interested buyers and the many questions that came with them with total professionalism and calm. They then expertly guided us through 14 offers and helped us choose the right one. In the end, the house sold for more than $700,000 over asking, all cash, with a 10-day close. Beyond their skill and effectiveness, Peter and Diane bring a rare combination of real estate expertise and genuine human kindness and compassion. Any buyer or seller would be fortunate to have them on their side.
