Edward U.

Writing a review for a real estate professional can sometimes feel cliché because so many reviews use the same generic phrases. But I believe the greatest endorsement is when a client chooses the same agent not only to purchase a home but also to sell it years later. That speaks louder than any five-star rating. Five years ago, I decided to spend my retirement in California. Although I was living on the East Coast, Edward Uriarte made the entire home-buying process so seamless that I didn't even need to fly to California for the closing. His professionalism, communication, and attention to every detail gave me complete confidence from beginning to end. After I purchased the house, Edward continued to help by connecting me with reliable contractors and local professionals. He made what could have been an overwhelming transition remarkably easy and ensured I had everything I needed to settle comfortably into my new home. After the devastating fires, I made the difficult decision to return to the East Coast. Selling the house was far more emotional than buying it, and I will admit that I was not the easiest client. I struggled for months, unable to decide whether to stay in California or move back east. Throughout that entire process, Edward remained incredibly patient, never pressured me, and always respected my timeline. He looked after my property as if it were his own, and I trusted his judgment completely. When I finally decided to sell, there was never any question about whom I would call. Once again, Edward handled everything with exceptional professionalism, allowing me to complete the entire transaction from New York without having to travel to California. He guided me through every step, protected my interests, and worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome under difficult circumstances. Today, Edward is no longer simply my real estate broker. He has become part of my extended family and someone I am proud to call a friend. If you are looking for a real estate professional with integrity, dedication, outstanding communication, and genuine compassion for his clients, I recommend Edward Uriarte without hesitation. Whether you are buying or selling a home, you will be in the best possible hands.

Edward made our first home purchase far less intimidating than we expected. We’re first-time buyers and specifically wanted someone who knew San Marino well and could walk us through the process, not just the transaction but what it’s actually like to live here. Edward did both. He’s patient. He never pushed us toward a decision or made us feel rushed, which mattered a lot given how new all of this was to us. There was a house we assumed was out of our range and almost didn’t bother seeing. Edward encouraged us to look anyway. We saw it the day after we first spoke with him, our offer was accepted within six days, and a month later we owned the home. Beyond the buying process, he’s given us a steady stream of recommendations for settling into San Marino, which has made the move feel a lot smoother. If you’re buying in the area, especially for the first time, I’d recommend Edward without hesitation.

We feel so grateful to have had Edward as our real estate agent during this big transition for our family. From the very beginning, he truly understood our needs and advised us with so much care and expertise. When he had a good feeling about a particular buyer, we trusted his instincts—and thanks to his guidance, we closed on an offer above our listing price! What stood out most was how present and available Edward was every step of the way. He answered all our questions thoroughly, checked in regularly, and kept us updated throughout the process. His calm and grounding presence gave us the space to focus on moving our family while feeling completely supported in selling our home. We were especially touched by his motto, "What Moves You” because selling a home really is such an emotional journey. Edward didn’t just handle the logistics flawlessly—he held space for us, and that support was truly invaluable. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent, and when the time comes to buy or sell again, we know without a doubt that we’ll be calling Edward. Thank you, Edward, for making this experience smoother, more successful, and far more heartfelt than we ever imagined.
