We had narrowed down to 2 potential realtors as our listing agent to sell our home. They were both highly experienced and with great reviews. Eventually we decided on Trina and we were extremely grateful that we did! She knows the neighborhood well and priced our home accurately. More importantly, she believed in her assessment and definitely conveyed that conviction to the buyers. We actually chose a lower listing price than the one she suggested and the house was sold above her suggested price. Besides bringing us the highest price for our home, Trina was delightful to work with. She ALWAYS responded to phone messages, texts, emails promptly. Even when she was on appointments or in meetings, she would let us know immediately when she could get back to us. She was also very patient and happy to answer any questions or concerns we had, never made us feel we were bothering her even when we were bugging her every few minutes. We really enjoy her personable energy. Although she was very professional in all the business dealings, we felt like she was our friend. If you are looking for an experienced realtor with great insights and someone you enjoy working with, we highly recommend Trina!

Our neighbors referred my husband and I to Trina and we are so grateful they did! Trina is nothing short of communicative, knowledgeable, and professional when it comes to the evolving housing market. She truly cares about her clients and always gives her honest opinion; we have the utmost respect for her transparency and never felt like we were being pressured into anything. One house we toured had visible mold on the walls and Trina immediately advised against even considering it – and this demonstrated to us that her motivation was client satisfaction over the commission. She takes the time to answer all questions or concerns no matter the time or day of the week. When we had communication issues with the escrow company, she was on top of it even on a holiday weekend! During our time with Trina, the housing market was very competitive – and still is. After over two months of visiting houses with her and getting several of our offers declined, we were sure we’d have to revisit the search at a later time. Trina reassured us that we would find something, and we did! Not once did Trina ever make us feel like we were wasting her time, she made sure the house checked all of our boxes, and always reminded us not to settle. We always felt like she was in our corner and had our best interests at heart, because of that we will always recommend her to friends and family!

I can't recommend Trina enough when buying a home! Not only is she extremely professional, she will fight for you and represent you when you're buying your home. She has helped us buy two homes now in the past 10 years and I will definitely use Trina for any other future real estate needs!

Trina helped us buy our first house in Lakewood during this crazy seller’s market! She’s a terrific agent. She’s honest, patient, always one step ahead and knows how to handle any hurdles we encountered which made our buying experience stress free! She’s always available to answer any questions we had even when she’s on her vacation. I would highly recommend her and if I were to buy any other properties, I would definitely go to her again!

I first met Trina at an open house in Long Beach, and she ended up helping me with my first home buying experience a few years ago. She made it so stress free as she was so very helpful, that when my wife and I decided we needed a bigger home for our family, I knew right away that Trina was the only person we were going to call. She made my wife and I very at ease with the entire process, and she was always available to answer our questions (and we had lots!) She was patient, and very knowledgeable and trustworthy! She has a way of making you feel like she would always have your best interest, as she absolutely does! My wife is now a believer that there are still honest and good people out there in the real estate world! Thank you so much Trina! My family now has a beautiful home, all with your help!

Trina was my realtor helping me locate my first home in California and I will say she was the BEST realtor I have ever worked with (speaking in comparison from buying homes in another state). She not only helped me through every step of the process but made it personable too. She really tried hard to understand us and what we were looking for and when it came down to negotiating for the home that we wanted she was on it. The best part is she made us feel that we could ask any question and not feel as it was a "dumb" question. She is not only a remarkable realtor but a tremendous person overall. Thank you for making this experience seamless and pleasant.

I WAS a first time home buyer and was lucky enough to connect with Trina Rufo. I have heard of her as she helped a couple of my coworkers find their first or forever homes with her. With this competitive market, she helped me get my first condo with my first and only offer. I know on average buyers make several offers on several places. But I was fortunate enough, with Trina’s guidance, to make this process seamless with just one offer on the home I immediately fell in love with. The biggest takeaway while working with Trina is her knowledge, her connections, and experience. She knew people within the Long Beach area that can fix and address any of my requests or concerns. She is your biggest support and advocate. And you’re relationship with Trina does not end, even after closing! Things always come up in regards to your home once you move in. And she’s always quick to respond and guide you to the help/assistance you need. She is incredibly thoughtful and always looking out for your best interest. Lucky to have worked with her and would confidently refer her to any of my friends and family. Trina, if you’re reading this, thank you so much for everything!

All I can say is…LOOK NO FURTHER! Trina Rufo is incredible!! She helped my husband and I purchase our first home. We got into the market during a time when the competition was beyond fierce and while the pandemic was still raging. During my first phone call to Trina she immediately started explaining what the market was like and what we could expect during the process. She spent a considerable amount of time answering my questions before we even decided to hire her. Our journey was long and had some big ups and downs. Trina was there to help us through it all. She is very invested in each of her clients and treats you like you are the most important client she has. She is always available to answer questions and is extremely responsive. She will not leave you hanging for days and more often than not routinely answers texts, emails, and phone calls within minutes (or seconds). She works tirelessly and was available at any hour (because sometimes our negotiations went late) and on every day of the week…even while she was on vacation. She never pressured us into purchasing something that was not right for us and took a lot of time to help us find a place that fit our family perfectly. She is HONEST and has INTEGRITY in a profession that seems to breed dishonesty. She has a wonderful reputation amongst her colleagues and maintains relationships with other realtors that are invaluable when it comes time to put in an offer on a property. It gives Trina great joy to assist others in finding their dream home. She loves what she does, and it shows. I would recommend Trina to anyone. Trina will always hold a special place in our hearts and will be the first person we call if we ever decide to move. Thank you Trina!!
