Sophia De La Vara

I know that selling a home can be an incredibly stressful experience but having someone who is dedicated, responsive , and truly willing to fight for you is priceless!! Sophia negotiated and worked with my bank and attorney to complete my sale and I’m incredibly grateful for all her hard work and commitment for never giving up and helping me get to the finish line . Sophia and her team stayed on top of every detail and never stopped working towards the goal of selling my home and all cash offer ! She went above and behind to get my home sold when it mattered most.

My wife and I first met Sophia and Alora at an open house that we toured in the Whittier Friendly Hills area. Sophia and Alora gave off a very warm and welcoming presence and asked us general questions about what we were looking for in a home. We exchanged contact information and from that point forward, started our home buying journey. Alora was engaged from the very beginning and we kept in touch over the next couple of months and did courtesy check-ins every 3-4 weeks. Once my wife and I got more serious about purchasing our next home, we reached out to Alora. We toured countless numbers of properties across the Whittier, Fullerton and Brea areas and she was always punctual to appointments and already came in with research and data on the property. She also offered valuable insights and shared her professional and personal opinions which is something that should never be overlooked when you're working with agent. You need someone that can chime and offer their feedback to make sure you stay focused and on track. Once we got ready to submit an offer, Alora was quick to get something drafted and talk us through any questions we had. Her communication between us and the seller's agent was pleasant and transparent and she always kept us in the loop during the offer submission process. Once our offer was accepted, the escrow process was just as seamless and effortless. Alora did a masterful job at keeping everything organized and on-time. We closed nearly 10 days earlier than expected thanks to perfect execution. If you're looking for a team that listens to what YOU want and what YOU'RE looking for, look no further. Sophia and Alora will treat you well. They are experts in the Whittier Friendly Hills area and know a lot about the community. We're so thankful for the time they spent with us and helping us find our forever home.

Working with Sophia and her team - Alora and Erica - was such a great experience from start to finish. She was always responsive, no matter how many questions we had, and was endlessly patient throughout our home search - which lasted several years. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for and never pressured us into settling for anything less than the right home. She was also incredibly accommodating to our busy schedules, making herself or one of her team available whenever we needed her and making the entire process as stress-free as possible. What could have been an overwhelming experience was actually enjoyable because of her professionalism, kindness and dedication. We couldn't have asked for a better agent and are so grateful for everything she did to help us find our home. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond.

We couldn’t have made a better decision than choosing Sophia and Alora for our Agent! They always put 1000% effort into anything we asked and showed up with every detail. They went above and beyond in finding our home and was so patient with us throughout the whole process. This isn’t just a side hustle for them, it’s truly their career and they put their heart in soul into every customer. Thank you Ladies so much for all your help and dedication to our family!

Sophia is a very responsive agent, day or night she will answer you. Her knowledge of the market reflect the many years she’s been in the industry and the time she’s spent learning the ins and outs. She is very professional and above all also she sincerely cares to bring about the best experience possible for her clients.

Recently, I had to sell my sister’s and brother in-law’s home because they had both passed away. Unknown to us, both of them were closet hoarders. Although I knew there was a lot of stuff in their house, the two bedrooms that were always kept closed to visitors were stacked to the ceiling! We didn’t even know where to start. I called Sophia and she was like a miracle!!! She researched and knew every home that was similar in size, age and attributes. She was able to tell me how long they were on the market before selling and was very knowlagable of every sale in the area. Sophia and her team came in, looked at the house, made all the arrangements for cleaning, for an estate sale, for taking care of getting the house painted inside (badly needed and at a very reasonable price), cleaned, windows were washed & things that did not sell were donated. Sophia even had someone to come in & clean up the yard. Everything was taken care of by Sophia and her team at a very reasonable cost. I never dreamed that selling this house, which my family had lived in, and accumulated stuff for 60 years could’ve been so easy. I can never thank Sophia enough, not only did she get top dollar for the house, she made all the arrangements for needed work and repairs. Sophia was extremely professional and made this house so desirable that as soon as the “Fixing up” was finished, she held an open house and had 11 offers on the house that very weekend. I never realized selling a home could be so painless. I have sold a few homes in the past, but it was always a hassle and a lot of work for me. Sophia came in, took care of everything and got top dollar. I could not have asked for anything more.
