Mariel Sabado – Keller Williams Realty

Mariel is EXCELLENT — She’s thoughtful, assertive, and diligent when it comes to her clients needs. She is the sweetest, CALMEST, warmest person you could ever meet. She sold our Cerritos condo for the price we wanted in a timely manner! I really can’t thank her enough for keeping me SANE throughout the entire process! I would love to have her as my Buyers agent, but unfortunately I couldn’t take her to Oregon with me!
We first met Mariel a few years ago through mutual friends. She was a wedding coordinator at the time, and I needed some recommendations. A few years later she expressed interest in our families home buying needs! She was now a realtor, perfect!
My husband and I were looking to buy. Nothing serious. We were outgrowing our condo in Cerritos that I’ve owned for almost 10 years. I called her to just see what was available. She kindly showed us a few houses one weekend. I felt very comfortable working with her, I didn’t feel pressured, I felt motivated to buy! Mariel walked us through the steps. She connected us with a great lender to find out what we could realistically afford.
Well, a few months later, I decided to accept a job offer in Oregon and needed to SELL! Of course, I chose Mariel.
Being a first time seller, I didn’t know what to expect but again, she explained everything. Signing the paperwork was scary but she explains what everything means to your comfort level.
It was crunch time! We had about 3 months before my job started. She recommended some minor upgrades that would make our property/​listing more valuable/​competitive. Coordinating a huge move out of state and completing some upgrades ourselves was a terribly stressful and emotional time for me. Mariel was always there for us for guidance and she was able to keep me and my hubby in check! (kind of like a wedding coordinator).
We listed our condo and received offers within days! I felt safe knowing that Mariel was taking care of business back in Cali. She even went above and beyond to replace a light bulb, install the CO detectors, and check our mailbox for us! Although our first offer backed out, Mariel reassured me that we will sell. Time is money and she didn’t waste any time! After our second open house, we landed the perfect offer and a shorter escrow and CLOSED the DEAL!
I highly recommend Mariel as your realtor.

We worked with Mariel as first time home buyers, and we couldn’t be happier. Mariel is very professional, knowledgable, reliable and very responsive. Mariel provided great suggestions and recommendations throughout the entire process. She worked around our schedule and explained/​clarified each step of the home buying process to ease our worries. Mariel was also a great mediator between us and the seller’s agent, and ensured we all stayed on track to close escrow in 30 days (and we did!). Mariel was fantastic to work with and we highly recommend her, especially for any first time home buyers.

Two words: Amazing Agent!
One day, my wife and I received a message from Mariel asking how are we doing and are we planning to buy a home anytime soon. For those who don’t know, she was our wedding coordinator almost exactly 3 years ago. We’ve been somewhat looking at homes but not really serious because we thought we weren’t qualified and too it’s difficult. Mariel simply asked us to just take a look around areas that we would like to live in because it doesn’t hurt to see what’s out there. After spending one Saturday looking at few places, my wife and I really like one particular condo. At the time we weren’t even serious about that condo because we were thinking there’s no chance for us to get that place because of the competitive market. Mariel consulted and gave us a push and said lets just put in an offer with a personal letter and see what happens. Little did we know, the seller loved our story and accepted our offer over others. Thanks to Mariel’s referrals to home loan, inspection service, and other resources, everything went smoothly. She was extremely helpful, thorough, and quick throughout the entire escrow period. We were very happy to close escrow on a timely manner, all thanks to Mariel’s excellent service. We highly recommend her as real estate agent, especially if you’re first time home buyer. Also, she’s very charming to work with =)
