“Always available, answered all my questions and was pleasant to work with.”

“Working with Jake Sullivan was an outstanding experience. His professionalism and deep understanding of the market were evident in every interaction. He guided us through the entire process with confidence, always staying ahead of the curve and ensuring that we made informed decisions. His expertise made the journey smooth and stress-free, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner in navigating the real estate market. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.”

“Jake went above and beyond for us and he was absolutely amazing during the whole home search process and then kicked it into over drive when we went to purchase. it was our first time purchasing a home and the detail Jake goes into to explain the process from top to bottom taking nearly all of the stress and worries off of our shoulders. he was in constant contact with us when a home hit the market that fit our wants and needs. once we summitted our offer he went to work setting up all things we needed to do in order to close in a timely manner right away. once our inspection came back he protected us by helping rectify issues we had. Jake was on it with our lender getting everything prepared so all we had to do was sign and we were set to go. I can say without a doubt if Jake wasn't our realtor we would still be blindly submitting offers with no sense of direction, we are truly grateful for Jake as he is a true professional and is great at what he does. I've been telling everyone I know if you want to buy or sell a home Jake is the guy to go with.”

“Jake is awesome! As first time home buyers not knowing the ins and outs, he really helped us understand the full process. He also secured the deal for us and we were not the highest offer! We are so lucky to have had Jake representing us, we now have our dream 1st home! HIGHLY recommend”

“Jake went above and beyond in all aspects of my sale process.He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and kept me in touch throughout the process. I highly recommended Jake”

“This was a second time working with Jake. 5 years ago I purchased a house with Jake and when it came time for me to move and I wanted to rent my house out, I trusted Jake. Entering the rental market was a bit of a daunting task, so many things I didn't know about, risks to learn and mitigate, and on top of that I had to move cross country in a bit of a rush with what felt like not enough time for transitioning out of the house. A problem that was only alleviated because I had Jake on my site. I was able to leave town, without my place rented out yet, knowing that my agent would have my back and everything would be taken care of. Jake kept me updated every step of the way as applications started coming in, answered every question of mine, was incredibly patient with my mannerisms and characteristics, and was completely professional to me the client and all who toured the place. For anything Los Angeles related, I would go to Jake 10 out of 10 times.”

“My husband and I were looking for our “forever home” and hired Jake Sullivan as our Real Estate Agent. As we knew this would be our last home, Jake put up with a lot of location changes and even the type of home we wanted to buy and took it all in stride and with good humor. With Jake’s expertise we found our new home and couldn’t be happier. He not only found our home, he also negotiated down a selling price that the seller said was “non-negotiable”. Jake is not only an excellent and knowledgeable agent, but also a true gentleman who we now call a friend.”

“We highly recommend Jake Sullivan. We met him at the open house of the home we purchased. We appreciated that he was super knowledgeable about the property, the area and also what to expect as we were first time home buyers. We liked him so much that we asked him to represent us in purchasing the home -- he represented both the seller and the us, the buyers. Jake was always transparent, patient (we had A LOT of questions) and approachable. He went above and beyond by contacting 10+ chimney inspectors (apparently December is a busy time for chimneys) to ensure we would receive an accurate understanding of the state of the property before the closing. He also addressed another concern of ours and contacted friends of his to answer questions we had about the local schools before we made an offer. Through the purchasing process, he was timely and reliable on all the interactions with us. We highly recommend Jake as a real state agent in the South Bay!!”

“It is our pleasure to recommend Jake Sullivan from Berkshire Hathaway as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. We worked with Jake as he sold our house in San Pedro in August 2022, because we decided to move out of state. Jake had an initial meeting with us and took diligent notes regarding our specific needs regarding selling my house, timing etc. He is highly talented technologically and made excellent use of his marketing skills and used social media very effectively to promote our home on line, and reach as many potential buyers with in a large geographical area, in and outside of San Pedro. A master with the contract negotiations and personal skills, Jake found a buyer very quickly and our house was sold. Throughout this home selling process, he was able to work with both the buyer and us, to agree to closing date and terms of sale that were beneficial to both. Jake is a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were his only customers, although we know that was not the case. He always returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. He is also highly personable with an engaging personality. Jake was honest about some minor changes that we needed to make to attract buyers quickly, and his advice worked like a charm. We are pleased to recommend Jake Sullivan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is hands down the best in the business in our opinion, and if we ever need to move again, he will be our first choice in real estate agents. Regards, Ed Gentile”
