Pete C.

Pete Castro helped immensely with every step on the path to selling my home. From an extensive list of stager, painter and tradesmen recommendations to up-to-date knowledge of neighborhoods, comps and pricing to an absolutely boundless wellspring of energy, enthusiasm and professionalism, he was always there for us, ready with an answer or advice or a recommendation. Pete helped me buy my first home nearly twenty years ago and he helped me buy my new home two weeks ago. He also helped me sell that first home quickly at nearly $100k over asking. I wouldn't trust anyone else with a decision this important. Pete is the absolute best.

Pete & Maile were both very helpful through the process of buying our new home. Any questions that we had along the way were answered quickly and precisely. The nice part of the Pete and Maile partnership is that typically one of them is always available for a quick question/answer. Another advantage working with the Castro Group is that they have lots of years of experience in the neighborhood and have built relationships with other brokers. I would highly recommend the Castro Group for your next real estate transaction.

Pete is a real estate magician! With a whirlwind decision we went from idly looking at out of state properties to suddenly needing to sell our West LA home in a hurry. Pete set up a home estimate, a consultation with a home staging expert, photography, videography, and virtual tour capture within days of contact. He made sure we could get maximum impact within our set time frame and with minimal preparation cost. We were show-ready and listed in a week and a half. Private showings went smoothly and were grouped together to make sure we weren't too inconvenienced when we had to vacate. When you're in the middle of both buying and selling a home, it's really nice to have someone value your time! Our house was marked as a Hot Home on Redfin right off the bat and we received multiple offers well over asking within 4 days of listing. Post-sale process was smooth and communication remained excellent throughout. Escrow closed right on time and with no issues whatsoever. Pete even went the extra mile and took care of the house even after we'd moved out of state before closing. It's invaluable to have a real estate agent that really knows the neighborhood and can make a property really shine. Pete works his butt off for you, really listens to your priorities, never pressures you to make one decision over another, and gets top dollar. I wouldn't dream of going with any other agent in the West LA area!
