"Ashley and Jonathan are truly the best. As a first-time home buyer, I had no clue what I was doing. They walked me through every step and were always available to answer any questions I had. They also had a very similar work ethic and approach as me, get things done! They stayed on top of everything and would follow up immediately if things weren’t moving forward in me purchasing the home I wanted. Plus, you get two agents instead of one, what’s not to love? They made the process as stress-free as possible and were a true joy to work with. I deeply recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy (or sell) a home. I could not ask for a better experience in buying my first home. So happy! "Brandon Robinson

" We recommend Ashley Novak and Jonathan Schulz as superb realtors, without reservation. Ashley and Jonathan handled the sale of our former home in Westlake Village, CA. From the moment we met them, we were impressed and excited by their youthful energy and desire to work with us. Once we signed the agreement, there was no doubt about their commitment. The home ultimately sold for top dollar for our development. They maintained their high energy for the entire period of the listing and through a challenging closing. Ashley and Jon were highly strategic in their approach to the sale of our home. They clearly understood and appreciated our efforts to improve the property, focusing on a more Modern style. They gently, but enthusiastically demonstrated to us their strategic approach to their home listings which involved a combination of up-to-date resources for marketing our home in the community (and more broadly) AND a personal commitment to work as hard for us as they could. Throughout our listing contract, Ashley and Jon graciously hosted weekly open house showings, sharing the property with over 200 prospective buyers. Each contact was followed up in a timely manner. They also handled individual showings with aplomb. Ultimately, we had two complex, concurrent offers. Both were carefully and expertly managed by Ashley and Jon resulting in a sale at the top of the neighborhood range. " Michael Goldberg

"It was great working with Ashley and Jonathan! Ashley was very patient while showing me properties; she answered all my questions and was very reassuring throughout the escrow process. Jonathan is very thorough and helped me navigate the inspection phase during escrow. This husband and wife team are dynamic and very active throughout the whole process. Being a Marine Corps veteran, I felt I was able to trust in Ashley as she is a veteran as well. She is very knowledgeable about the VA loan process. I just knew I was in good company with Ashley and Jonathan."Cindy Ruiz

"We made an excellent choice by deciding to work with Ashley and Jonathan and would do it again in a heartbeat. They helped us sell and purchase a new home back to back. They are incredibly professional, responsive, and knowledgeable about the real estate business. They both are excellent agents but bring unique expertise and perspective to the table, which makes them a power team (but you pay one commission ;) They have great resources to make your property look incredible in the listing and a network of professionals that you’ll need along the process of selling and especially buying a place. This, among other things, made our experience very seamless. They were also very genuine, friendly, and kind but are also great negotiators and know how to play the real estate game."Agata McGill

"Ashley always stayed on top of what next steps we needed to be focused on throughout the whole process. From sending us listings to showing us properties and eventually walking us through the escrow process we always knew we could lean on her expertise when needed. If she didn’t know something off hand she would get the answer for us quickly. Would highly recommend"

"My husband and I decided it was time to downsize last year. After living in our home for 32 years, we knew what we were looking for, but according to two other real estate agents there was nothing available to fit our specifications. Both kept directing us toward condos we made clear we were not interested in. We decided to try another agent, Ashley Novak. It was clear from the start that Ashley was a different kind of agent. She listened intently to our wishes, took notes and said she would get back to us. Within two days she got back to us and said she had found what she felt would interest us. She said the construction was not complete, but if we wanted to see it she could make arrangements. We went to see it that week and knew immediately it was what we were looking for. To make a long story short, we bought it and Ashley was there every step of the way guiding us through the process and keeping us updated on paperwork This is the sixth home we have purchased and I must say Ashley by far exceeds the other agents with which we have worked."

"Ashley was my agent (buyer-side) for my first condo purchase in 2017. My search parameters and location parameters were pretty tight but Ashley was wonderful in finding various options. She was patient, thoughtful, and thorough when presenting a potential place. She took into consideration my likes and dislikes very well and incorporated them through the search process.
When we found the place, she was very active. She was able to discuss the situation with the seller’s agent and helped us get the apartment in a multiple offer situation. During the closing process, she helped a lot. She organized everything and walked me through the paperwork diligently. She made the whole process much smoother.
Ashley was a great agent. She took a lot of care to ensure I got what I wanted. She made the process seem less transactional. I would recommend Ashley Novak as an agent." - Jaideep

"My sister and I have used Ashley for 2 moves and our experience with her has always been amazing. She gives you access to rental properties that only are on MLS and it's completely free to you! She is helpful, responsive and really explains all you need to know in regards to rental properties. I have recommended her to all my friends and I would definitely use her again if i ever moved again." - Bianca
