Ehlers Real Estate was an absolute game-changer for us! Christian Ehlers and Diane Soriano hit the ground running with a comprehensive market analysis, armed with hard data that set our expectations high. Their expert guidance on probate proceedings kept everything on course, while their marketing magic sparked a frenzy of interest, resulting in an offer that blew our minds - and then they worked their negotiation magic to make it even better! Throughout escrow, they were our rock, keeping us in the loop and on track for a seamless closing. Their communication was top-notch, leaving us feeling empowered and informed every step of the way. If you want a real estate partner who delivers beyond your wildest dreams, Ehlers Real Estate is the way to go!

Christian Ehlers and Diane Soriano helped us maximize our trust sale from day one. They advised us against doing a complete remodel, not based on emotion, but based on the comparable sale prices of other similar condos that had sold in remodeled versus as-is/original condition. We quickly saw that the time, stress and money involved in a remodel. We cleaned up the unit and Christian and Diane had it on the market ASAP. They held several open houses, communicated with the buyer agents, and kept aggressively marketing the property, and negotiated the price with interested parties. Additionally, they made sure we stayed in close contact with the other professionals (the attorney, etc) so there were no surprises during escrow. In fact, during escrow, the buyer's agent tried to renegotiate several terms; Christian and Diane fought hard and we gave few, if any, concessions. All and all, I felt that Christian and Diane were warriors fighting to protect me in this sale, and that they did so successfully. If you are considering selling a home in a probate or trust sale, I strongly recommend you contact Christian and Diane to list your home!

Christian Ehlers is a wonderful realtor, and we highly recommend him to support real estate needs. I initially contacted Christian on LinkedIn at 7 a.m. on a Saturday, and he responded immediately. We were interested in a foreclosure property, which did not work out. However, my husband and I were impressed with Christian's quick response, real estate knowledge, and personable demeanor, so we again contacted him a few months later. Christian immediately set up a meeting to understand our needs and wants and discussed the best way he could support us. This is a tough and fast market. However, Christian maintained frequent contact with us and provided information on every home we expressed interest in, while highlighting possibilities. Christian helped us navigate next steps once our offer was accepted, including inspection, closing, and follow-up discussions; we couldn't have done it without him. Christian is a warm and engaging real estate agent who was an asset to our family as we purchased a home in the LA area. He's the best!

In 2021, Christian assisted us in selling a commercial piece of property in Santa Ana, CA. It was impressive that Chris had cash buyers waiting to bid on the property even before it was officially listed. We closed within 14 days from the time we opened escrow and way above the asking price. At that point, I was in absolute awe of Chris, not only because of his expeditious accomplishments, but also because of his thoughtfulness, knowledge and professionalism of the market. Now in 2023, my sisters and I decided to sell the property we inherited that was our parents' home in Jamul, CA. It was bittersweet for my sisters and I, but I knew Chris would be very compassionate with this transaction. I reached out to Christian again since in my eyes he ranks at the top of the list of the quality professionals. Chris and I knew that this was going to be a longer listing since the market had slowed down and this particular property would appeal only to certain types of buyers due to the location of the property being pretty isolated. That said, I had full confidence in Chris knowing he would be on top of this, never neglecting a day to advertise the property, getting in touch with his contacts and keeping me constantly informed. The one thing you can rely on is that Chris' response time is absolutely immediate and never leaves you in the dark. Chris did not fail us this time either. He had many open houses and made the long trek from LA to Jamul in person to greet the perspective buyers and brokers. He also was very thoughtful, courteous, patient and resourceful of the timings of the open houses with our tenant who was residing in the house at that time. Chris' great personality, his attention to detail, communication and negotiation skills, but most of all his dedication and determination brought us the right buyer for the home for the right price and closing. I strongly urge you to engage this superb advisor/agent and amazing person, Mr. Christian Ehlers!

With a poised finger on the pulse of the real estate market Christian guides an another client to victory. Anyone in need of the best agent in Los Angeles? He’s right here.

My wife and I recently bought a home in San Pedro, and we enthusiastically give Christian Ehlers our very highest rating. Christian is so knowledgeable about the Los Angeles area, and he was able to quickly find properties for us that most suited our needs. He was very engaged and thorough from the beginning, taking us out for coffee to learn about our desires and preferences, and then taking us to showings whenever a great match came along. He took the time to explain the most important parts of our purchase agreement, and was our go-to when any issues arose during the process (at any time of the day or night). Christian is positive, professional, and fun to work with, and we feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him on our home search! Fantastic and kind, 10/10, 5 stars, with our best regards, thank you so much Christian!

About a year ago, Christian told us that it made sense to sell our home. Even though he could have pushed us to purchase a home in a super-competitive market, he instead advised us to rent for about a year, and take the substantial equity that we gained from selling our home to put a larger down payment when the home prices stabilized. We listed with him and got top dollar for the sale of our home then; before looking for a new home Christian took the time to make sure that we understood there had been a market shift due to the increased interest rates. He explained how this would change how we looked for a house, and even though we've been through this before he made sure to keep us educated and informed each step of the way. Once we had been on the market looking for several months, we found "the" home that a matched our criteria. Christian negotiated a price that was a bit under the original asking price, securing us the deal even though there was one other buyer making offers on the house. He was able to keep all of our contingencies in place, so we didn't get stuck with any surprises once escrow closed. Of course he helped coordinate the inspectors, was proactive with keeping an open line of communication with our lender, and made sure that he protected our interests throughout the transaction. Thanksgiving landed in the middle of our escrow and delayed the loan a few days, but he got us the loan extension without us even having to worry about it. We are blessed with great new neighbors in a friendly neighborhood, living in a wonderful home with great bones after a stress-fee and smooth escrow, all thanks to Christian's representation. There are a lot of other agents out there, but I don't know many who have Christian's level of experience, education, negotiation skills, and ability.

Having recently transitioned from the active service to the guard, after two years, finding our first home was proving to be quite difficult. Upon beginning to work with Christian, my wife and I began to have a better understanding of the what’s and how’s in searching for our first home. As a veteran himself, it was a pleasure to work with Christian; he vested himself into learning more about what we needed as a family and provided professional insight to assist in our making a final decision on our now beautiful home. The entire process felt alien to my wife and I, but from viewings to finalizing escrow, Christian remained on top of every task and detail, always keeping us informed of any changes & updates, explaining any hesitations on our behalf and teaching about the process along the way. No question was left unanswered, and late night calls of doubt were always responded to with assurance (there were a few). Mr. Ehlers’s attention to detail was always on point, making sure to always cross t’s and dot i’s for the sake of making the experience as pleasant as it was for us. We highly recommend working with Christian. His representation on our behalf helped us beyond the scope of this review and believe his work ethic goes above and beyond. When the opportunity presents itself (and we absolutely aim to), we hope to have Christian Ehlers represent our family in future real estate endeavors.

Christian was a wonderful realtor and helped us immensely throughout the 18 month process of searching for a home and eventually buying the right home for us. He never pressured us, managed the communication with sellers professionally and was always available when we needed. His associate Diane was just the same and goes to Christian's ability to find the right people to work with.

This was the third real estate transaction that Christian helped me with. I wasn't really planning on selling until he told me what he thought the property would sell for - and it actually sold for a bit more than what he predicted. As he did in the other transactions, Christian sat down with me and told me what to expect and how the process would unfold. He guided me through the entire process, coordinated with the tenants in the four unit building, made sure all the disclosures took place, and basically made the whole sale plug and play from my perspective. I highly recommend Christian to anyone who's even considering buying or selling a multifamily property, especially if you're using a VA loan.
