Trina Rufo, First Team Real Estate

"Trina was a pleasure to work with. She helped us find a home in Southern California while we were still living on the east coast, which itself was a challenge! As soon as we planned a short trip to visit homes in our desired area, she made sure to immediately contact the appropriate personnel so that we would make the best use of our time and have the best chance to find our next home. And once our offer was accepted, she was a FANTASTIC liaison between everyone involved (loan officer, seller agent, escrow officer, us, etc.) - she made sure that everyone was on the same page and was an excellent communicator. She has a wealth of property knowledge and provided us with such valuable insight during the home-buying process! She put us at ease during this transition, and we would highly recommend her to others."

"The best decision my family made was hiring Trina. She handled every aspect of the sale and a new purchase of a home with outstanding professionalism. Her knowledge of the market is exceptional. Our home for sale was under contract in 5 days, and we closed on our new home just 6 weeks later. Her communication is excellent and she continuously advocated for us along the way. What a blessing to have Trina on our team!"

"Trina assisted my Mom purchase a new condo and sell her long time home. Since my Mom had not bought a home since the 1970's it was a very stressful time in her life. Trina was exceptional in her professionalism, communication and kindness. She was always a phone call away and was willing to answer any question that we had. Selling a home is not an easy process especially a home that has been in the family for 90 years but Trina made it painless. If you are thinking of buying or selling call Trina and you won't be disappointed. She is the best!!!"

"Trina is excellent, I highly recommend working with her. She worked with us to narrow down exactly what we were looking for in a home, adjusting our search criteria frequently as we discovered things we liked and didn't like. She was flexible and patient with our timeline and schedules, which alleviated our stress in a process that tends to be very stressful. When we placed an offer and began going through inspections, she helped us schedule everything. She has so many contacts and knows the area so well. As first time home buyers, it can be very overwhelming, but Trina explained everything and made sure we were cared for and comfortable throughout the entire process. She is professional and so kind, I cannot speak highly enough of her. If/ when we buy again in the future we definitely plan to work with her again."

"Trina is truly an expert real estate agent. She helped us navigate the purchase of our first home and was communicative, knowledgeable, and advocated for us every step of the way. She knows the Long Beach market well, and her connections allowed us the opportunity to purchase the home of our dreams off market. She made the process go incredibly smoothly and took the time to explain everything in detail along the way. I would recommend Trina to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! We couldn't have done it without her!"
