My partner and I have been thinking of buying a bigger house for a while now. We loved our first home, so we weren't in a rush. That said, we made a hobby of going to open houses every weekend. We have looked at so many homes. We have met so many real estate agents. We met Lupe Quintero at one of the open houses. We had exchanged contact information with a few agents who would send us listings that they thought we would be interested in. Lupe was one of these agents. One of the most significant differences with Lupe is how personal she was when we connected with her. It wasn't automation or too much fluff. She invited us to look at potential listings but never pushed. She remained tenacious and transparent not just in the beginning but throughout the entire process.
Finally, we saw the perfect opportunity to buy a diamond in the rough. It had the bones of our dream home. We knew that attempting to buy this home would be tricky. Buying a home is stressful. Selling a home is stressful. Trying to sell your home and buy a home is very stressful. It takes perfect timing and a lot of trust. We quickly decided to jump on the opportunity, and we knew immediately what agent we wanted to have in our corner. We needed someone with the energy to stay consistent through the process and the creativity to think outside the box to make this happen. She also works closely with Remy Gomez, our Sr Loan Originator. Side Note: Remy is pretty amazing and worked just as hard for us! They worked with us, helping us navigate the sale of our house and get into our new home. They gave us options I don't think anyone else could of, and I am thrilled to say we closed on our forever house yesterday! At the beginning of this process, I spoke with my partner about why I wanted to work with Lupe. There are so many great real estate agents that we have met. And what it came down to in this market is if we were in the ring with someone on our side, we wanted it to be her. She is in it to win it!

We just finished up our third transaction with Raeid. He will always be our go to, he always goes above and beyond to help us find our homes and ease our minds along the way. This last transaction wasn't the easiest and he was able to make things happen in the short time frame we had. He is excellent at what he does!

I can’t put into words how much we value Raeid and his team. He went above and beyond throughout the entire process and continued to be a resource after we closed on our first home. He is a local who has worked in the business for a very long time, and has realistic expectations for how everything should go. You will never feel pressured to do anything, but once you’ve got your sights set, he is a tenacious negotiator who will always do what’s best for you. I can’t recommend Raeid highly enough.

It was a pleasure to work with Raeid. He represented me in a very professional manner.. He was alway available to answer the many questions I had. Very knowledgeable about the area we were interested in. I would certainly recommend Raeid to anyone looking to purchase property in the Monterey/Watsonville Coastal area. He was really just an amazing person to work with!!

Raeid is the best Realtor in California, hands down. We met with Raeid after getting his contact information from my husband's father. His dad had already bought two homes with Raeid's help and has talked highly of him, so we decided to give him a call. We had no idea where to start or what we needed in order to qualify. We had met with him at the end of 2021 sometime in Sept/Oct. We went to his office (which is nice and clean btw) where he explained to us the process and what was needed. After doing our taxes in 2022, we contacted him again and let him know we had everything we needed to get pre-approved. We worked with his finance department to get the pre-approval, and once we got a number, we were ready to start looking at houses. He listened to everything we were looking for and got houses lined up right away. He even messaged us back late at night when we would send him listings we were interested in. He knew we were expecting our first baby, so we were eager to get into a house by the time she was born. We saw many houses, but found the perfect one within the month, and had the offer accepted from the owner in about a week. He scored us a spacious 5 bed 3 1/2 bathroom home behind Target in Watsonville for 890K! I don't think any other realtor would've got us such a deal. Raeid is laid back and easy to talk to. He answered any and all the questions we had, and listened to what we wanted. We really didn't do too much, his team did all the work.The whole process in general was smooth. It was a pleasure to work with Raeid and his team and will do so for future investments! :)

I really enjoyed working with Raeid. we are new to the area and unsure of just about everything- neighborhoods, traffic patterns, etc.

Raeid patiently showed us about 20 homes, explained how to make a competitive offer, and eventually helped us close on an amazing home in an area we love.

With a difficult/limited market and a time crunch with my growing family I did not think that we could find ANYTHING in our budget and still be able to stay in Watsonville but Let. Me. Tell. You… I could not have asked for a better Realtor & Lender than with Lupe Quintero & Remi Gomez.

As first time home buyers, they made this experience not only smooth but enjoyable. From day one they were able to accommodate a same day meeting and made us all feel like family. They are extremely communicative and there was no question too big or small that they couldn’t answer.

I was recommending them to close friends and family before we even found a house, this is how much confidence I had with them during the process. We looked for less than a month and this dream team was able to help find us a home and make a deal to stay within our budget.

You will not be disappointed if you chose to work with their team. I can not thank them enough.

We were very fortunate to have found Lupe Quintero as our Realtor.

Throughout the past few weeks, I found that purchasing a home was a difficult project and a complex experience. However, Lupe was there every step of the way during the process. She always answered every call or email no matter what time of day or night.

Her knowledge of the real estate market in the Central Coast area was very evident. Her professionalism, mentorship, honesty, and hard work ethic were much respected and appreciated. We never felt that she was just trying to sell us a home. Instead, we always felt that she was our mentor who could answer our questions and help us to make the best buying decision for our family.

We strongly recommend Lupe Quintero as your Real Estate Agent.

Sincerely,
Raquel, Jesus and Napoleón Rodriguez

I don’t know how to put into words how grateful we are to Lupe and her team.

Lupe came recommended to us by several people we know, and she did not disappoint. Her efforts and work ethic blew us away. When we were loosing hope in our search, Lupe uplifted us and helped us find our second home. Thanks to her, our dreams are coming true and we found a beautiful home for our family.

I would rate Lupe 100 stars on here if I could. She completely exceeded our expectations. Not only all of this, but she is incredibly personable, down to earth and a pleasure to be around. Thanks Lupe!

It was less than 3 months time my wife and I walked into his office and met him to shaking his hand for helping us buy a home. As first time buyers we had a lot of questions he always made time to talk. Even now that the deal is done he still checks up making sure we’re adjusting comfortably to our new home. Fast, friendly, reliable, diligent, good coffee, aggressive in our favor. when Rahied says he wants to get you into a home he means it.
This was our first time buying a home he made it look so easy it makes me wonder why I waited so long. My advice to anyone ready to buy a home when you do business with Rahied, hold tight it’s going to be the fastest roller coaster you’ve ever been on. I highly recommend Rahied to anybody who is serious about buying a home.

After living at my house for 20 years and knowing for over a year that my growing family needed a bigger space, I finally decided to put my home for sale. With our current housing market, the fear of the ‘what IF’ had kept me on the fence for a long time. Nevertheless, I picked up the phone and called Raeid. Why him? Simply because of his reviews on google (THANK YOU everyone before me)!!

Raeid sold my home in less than a week, BEFORE putting it on the market, AND $50k over asking price! He found the right buyer who is now renting the home back to me until I find my next family home.

From the moment we met, Raeid came off as a personable, honest, straight forward, hardworking individual. Although he buys and sells homes for a living, he is not a salesman, which I love! He has a positive attitude and even in this crazy market, he is confident that he will find my family and I the home we are looking for, no matter how many homes we must see. His realistic perspective, market knowledge, and being quick on his feet give me the confidence that we will. All I can say is Thank you Raeid! I couldn’t have done this without you 😊

I highly recommend Lupe Quintero! I've purchased my first home with Lupe as my agent and she exceeded my expectations! The search was long and tough during this unpredictable market, but she remained consistent and made it all worth while! She is very knowledgeable and loves what she does and in return provides exceptional, quality work. Buying a home in itself is stressful, but she made it a pleasing and unforgettable experience. She is patient and genuinely wants the best for her clientele. I am confident that if you choose to work with Lupe she will exceed all of your expectations.

Raeid has been our realtor for over five years and we wouldn't have it any other way! Our last purchase was quick, easy and efficient. He was professional in all of our transactions and made sure we knew the status every step of the way. His relationships with auxiliary staff makes the process very smooth and even though we are still in the midst of COVID-19 there we no issues. I would highly recommend him for your real estate needs. Thank you Raeid!

Raeid is a great broker. He sold our condo when our previous realtor was unable to do so. He also sold my borther in laws home when his realtor was unable to do so. He gets the job done and knows the market very well. I highly recommend him for all your home buying and selling needs. He has the resources to market your home and is a very hard worker.

We were very fortunate to have Raied as our Real Estate broker. He helped us purchase an investment property in Watsonville , ca. He was able to get our offer accepted on an off market property. While our friends were complaining about not being able to find a property, being out bid, and complain how they have been searching for 6-12 months and not being able to secure a property, we were able to get our offer accepted, do our inspection's and close within 30 days all from the comfort of our home in San Diego.

Raied was so attentive and available. Though we live in San Diego we were so comfortable with the constant video conferences, and updates that we didn't feel the need to see the property in person prior to closing. During the inspection, he made sure to conference us in to be apart of the inspection and we were able to ask the inspector and questions we had.

We would highly recommend Raied to anyone looking ot buy sell. Hes a master at his craft. His professionalism , advise and expertise were evident.

We cant wait till he calls us with for another off marekt property so we can do bussiness again because if was so easy and painless investing with RF Realestate.

Raeid is a genuine human being in the competitive and crazy world of real estate. I walked into his office at a young age of 23 with an aspiring idea to get into the real estate market. He knew nothing about me but took the leap of faith to help me land my first property almost instantly; that was almost 9-years ago and since, we have been working together to sell and buy multiple properties. I personally hold myself to high standards and have respect for very few individuals; Raeid is the BEST at what he does in the South Bay and I invite you to reach out to him and see how fiercely and fearless he handles any situation in the Real Estate market; you will not be disappointed. Raeid, thank you for everything you've done for me and my future, there's no words that can describe how thankful I am my friend. Thank you.

Raeid Rocks! He was able to help us find us a great investment in Watsonville, California.

We sold a property and were doing a 1031 tax deferred Exchange. We had a short period to identify a replacement property.

With the market being as crazy as it is, we were concerned that we wouldn’t be able to complete the exchange, which would have been very costly.

Raeid was able to find us an off market property, get our offer accepted, and close the transaction, all within the allotted time.

Raeid was confident with being able to secure us a property. Not once did he seem concerned. We were stressing, but once he assured us that everything would
work out, his calmness and confidence put us at ease.

He and has staff were extremely knowledgeable, professional and diligent.

We have referred family and friends to Raeid and will diffidently use him
In the future.

Raeid has been our family realtor since he helped us purchase our first home 10 years ago. We were so happy with his service, that had him help us rent this first home and sell it. Recently, he helped us find the prefect fixer upper with tons of potential that ended up being the home of our dreams. The kind of service provided has always been above and beyond any other realtor we have met.

We are grateful to have Raeid as our agent. He has a clear understanding of the real state business which was the extra help we needed to buy at this crazy current house market. He is well related, resourceful and will go the extra mile to advocate for his clients. Raeid was my agent 16 years ago, when I bought my 1st home, we did not hesitate to have him as our agent again. He is very familiar with Santa Cruz County and its surrounding areas, as well as current house market and financial options. Even if you are not ready to buy, Raeid will guide you to achieve your goal when you are ready. He made the processes of become homeowners much easier. He also speaks and writes fluently in Spanish wish was of great help to include my husband in the process. We would highly recommend Raeid Farhat for all your real state business needs.

I also like that he is very ethical and respectful. Throughout both purchases, he was very kind and patient. I never felt pressured. He made buying a home a delightful experience. I'm confident that Jose will exceed all of your expectations.

Being helped by Jose for the second time. First time when we purchased our first home 7yrs ago and for our recent second purchase. Jose is always very professional and always has time for his clients. He is always there for you, answers all your questions and gives you recommendations. He always advocates for his clients and he really cares and makes you feel like family and not just another transaction. Also, love the office always very clean and very warm welcoming environment.
