Google Review

We had an incredibly positive experience with California Lending & Realty, especially with Michael Thomas as our agent. As first time homebuyers new to California, we really needed someone trustworthy to guide us through property values and neighborhood options. Michael provided all the information we needed to feel confident in making our offer and navigating the homebuying process. He also helped us resolve unexpected issues that came up along the way and went above and beyond in the service he delivered.

Michael has been, hands down, the best real estate agent we've ever worked with. He’s extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. Over several months, he remained friendly, accessible, and responsive even while on vacation. His dual expertise as a mortgage broker was a huge bonus. I would gladly work with him again and recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Thanks so much, Michael.

Michael made selling our home an easy, successful process. He was professional, responsive, and well informed throughout. Our sale was part of a relocation, and Michael managed to sell the home quickly and even above asking price. We’d highly recommend him to anyone.
