Ruthi & Matt buy their second home

I met Ruthi and Matt through a mutual friend who invited Ruthi and I (separately) to her book & wine club in Fullerton. Ruthi and I certainly had a lot of interests in common, such as community outreach and the impact we want to leave on the world around us....

We were looking for a real estate agent, an interior decorator / consultant and, hopefully, a project manager. We got all 3 and the results were outstanding!

The house that we were selling was a little dated on the inside and needed work on the outside. We talked with a few real estate agents. It seemed that all they wanted to do was sell our house, in pretty much the existing condition, with minimal involvement. We were willing to spend some money if the return would be justified. But, we needed a lot of help.

We lucked out by finding Rebecka. She gave our house a walk-through and immediately recognized what needed to be done. My wife and I loved her ideas and decided to give Rebecka our full trust. We agreed on a budget and a timetable. One of the best things was that, since I am out of town a lot, Rebecka said she would coordinate all purchases, installations, and repairs. Our timetable was achieved and our expenses ended up in-line with our budget.

We had already purchased a smaller home and mostly stayed away from this house during the "transformation". When Rebecka "invited" us to see the house as it would be presented for sale, I had to blink a few times to see if I was dreaming or not. She had staged it magnificently, taken care of the inspection and maintenance issues, and completely redone several of the rooms. She had poured her soul into our house - as if it were hers.

When we listed the house, we immediately received multiple offers. We were extremely happy with the sales price.

If you are looking for a professional realtor who understands the market, is very serious about her work, cares about you, and goes "the extra mile", Rebecka (we call her the "Realty Doctor") is a must!

She went over and beyond our expectations in all aspects. Helped with negotiating, but was also very honest about letting us know if the house was right for us. She will do whatever it takes to find you your dream home at the right price and be there to help us with the escrow process until final closing.

Rebecka is honestly the best out there! She is thorough, kind, patient, experienced and intelligent. She will explain the entire process and answer any questions you have. She helped me with the purchase of my first home and is currently helping me with my next purchase.

I was extremely impressed with Rebecka Forrester as our real estate agent. When we decided to sell our house, we knew that we had a major undertaking - to make our house look more attractive – both on the outside and inside. We, therefore, searched for a realtor who was willing to work with us, give us ideas, and help us maximize our investment. Rebecka carefully described how she worked and then outlined what she wanted to do. We agreed with her philosophy and her specifics. She treated the house as if it were hers and basically, became our remodeling contractor. She negotiated with a dozen different suppliers and managed the purchasing, buying, and installation of everything while sticking with to our initial budget. All we had to do was okay each project and then pay the bills when she forwarded them to us. She went far and beyond what I would expect a realtor to do. The entire remodeling took less than 3 weeks! When we did our walk through (as prospective buyers), we were totally amazed at the transformation of the property from a house to a castle. Not only was the place crisp and clean, the staging was done so well that we almost wanted to take our house off the market.
We got several offers extremely quickly and eventually sold the house for virtually the original asking price. We found this to be incredible in such a “down” real estate market.
I recommend Rebecka very highly.

I met Rebecka when she was listing a home in the complex where I lived. I was looking for a place to buy since my landlord was selling my house and we could not come to an agreement on purchase price to stay. Rebecka took me through the whole process from start to finish. She lined up numerous homes to see within my price range in the areas that I requested. We found a home in Fullerton that just had a 60K price reduction and we jumped at that opportunity and we were able to close escrow in less than 30 days. Rebecka even helped me line up some contractors to make upgrades to the property after we closed escrow and before we moved in. Rebecka was fantastic. I cannot recommend her highly enough. When it comes time to sell my home Rebecka will be my first and only call.
