★★★★★
"Emilia Arau is the best real estate agent I have come across. My condo was sold in 6 days, above asking price! Emilia is dynamic, knowledgeable, efficient, able to manage property repairs and staging before listing (has a great team behind her for this), is an excellent communicator, good advisor, she basically calmly but efficiently walks you through the process, wastes no time, is totally present and pleasant and is always available. I would not have done this sale any other way. And the amazing part is, i never met Emilia in person and was 6000 miles away during the entire prep and escrow! It was yet all very smooth and punctuated by lots of little update and WhatsApp chats. She made it work for my far away situation. I am very thankful." - Kathleen L

She guided us expertly, was always positive, friendly, caring and upbeat, promptly answered any questions we had (and we had a lot), cleared up our doubts, helped calm our uncertainties and basically held our hand throughout the whole process. Her step by step guidance was just what we needed and, in great part thanks to Emilia and her team, everything went very smoothly.

"I met Emilia through a family friend about 2 years ago when I was first looking to rent an apartment. Since the very first time that we met, she automatically captured exactly what I was looking for. She really listens to what it is that you like, dislike, preferences, budget, etc. She is great at getting back to you promptly, which is so important in these cases as properties get taken so quickly. Emilia also helped get into my first property as a home owner! This was a very exciting, yet, intimidating process as I had absolutely no experience in this, but Emilia guided me through every step of the way, and helped me get into a beautiful home at an amazing price, which she helped negotiate. Not only does she work closely with you, but she also works very hard behind the scene to get all paperwork, legal documents, etc. in perfect order for it to be a smooth process for her clients. She is an expert in her profession and I highly recommend her to anyone (renting, first-home owners, high-end clients, etc.) she is very experienced on all levels, and is more than willing to work with anyone. Thank you, Emilia for all of your help and amazing work!" - Manuela E.

"Emilia is the most amazing Agent. Not only is she warm and wonderful to work with, she is a genius and an expert at what she does, deftly maneuvering through all of the facets of the real estate process. We found Emilia through her hard work for another client. She hand delivered a letter about her clients to all the condos in the area with the chance that one owner might be thinking about selling. We were impressed and emailed her immediately. She called us back in 15 minutes. The rest has been amazing. We just closed a home in Glendale. We are beyond excited. I highly recommend Emilia to everyone I know looking for an Agent. Best of luck! " - Peter G

"Emilia shared with me her extensive knowledge of the real estate market in my area and was professional, warm, and friendly throughout the entire process of the sale of my condo. Her detailed action plan resulted in excellent communication, and she stayed on track without being pushy. Emilia rolled up her sleeves and got involved with every aspect of preparing my unit to sell for top dollar which she ultimately did. Before the first , I had one offer above asking and shortly afterwards two more offers as back up. I was especially impressed with and grateful for Emilia's real estate expertise and attention to details. Emilia continuously provided step-by-step over site of all the players involved in the sale of my condo and the entire real estate process. This was significant and very important to me, as real estate deals and moves rank very high on the stress chart. Emilia's real estate experience, work processes and work ethics gave me peace of mind and assurance every step of the journey. Although Emilia’s professional competencies in the real estate industry are beyond reproach, I recommend Emilia Arau, Realtor, with John Aaroe Group, because she eliminated the stress associated with selling my condo and demonstrated that she "worked for me".

She will produced the movie of your dream-, answer your calls like you are the investor and treat you like you are the star on the red carpet… right after she hands you your Oscar! For the non-film buyer this means Miss Arau is highly effective, organized, communicative, responsive, very knowlegadble of the LA area and a win-win negotiator …all with a charming personal touch. Emilia explained to me very clearly every single step of the prices (at lest 5 times)!! She gave my space when I needed it and held my hand at crucial times. I was a first time buyer, ignorant and terrified. We ran into each other at a party and asked her to help me rent a apartment or a room!! ha!... It took me a few months to even understand what I wanted but after following her great guidance, I can happily say my story ended with an epic finale in my lovely and affordable Culver City home!! ." - Natasha P

"Oh Emilia! I made her through so much in such a short amount of time... Not only did she found the best listings matching my picky attitude, she also became like a therapist or mother, listening to me whine and complain, advising me on the right fit for my current situation and speak high of me to landlords who without her would probably not have listened to me and only care about the facts. Emilia brings more than just experience with the local real estate, she has tact and personality that encompass most agents I have met. Thank you for helping me with my case, and helping find a new home, you're the best!" - Fabiene

""Emilia not only helped us purchase a new home, but found tenants for our previous home all while we were traveling on the other side of the planet. She's a one/two punch of integrity and negotiating skills. A non-stop, bundle of energy that's constantly on top of all aspects of the transactions, even those which traditionally may not fall under her purview. Above all else she's your ally, cutting through the BS and patiently understanding the emotions we inevitably allow to creep into these experiences. Can't recommend her enough." - Marcos C.

Emilia served as a competent and supportive adviser on the process of preparing my place for renters, she organized open houses and connected well with potential renters. It was a pleasure working with her. Now my place is rented out and this makes my research trip less stressful. Thank you Emilia for your professionalism, knowledge and kindness!" Zofia L.

★★★★★
"Emilia is an exceptional realtor and a wonderful person to work with. She is knowledgeable of her market and dedicated to making sure her clients feel comfortable, informed, and prioritized. My husband and I were under a very tight deadline selling our home and she masterfully put together a timeline that got our house spruced up, staged, and on the market in a little over 10 days, and an offer in hand shortly thereafter. She was always quick to respond to our questions and offer solutions and made us feel confident in the process every step of the way. I can't recommend her enough!" Lacy M.

★★★★★
"I honestly had already given up on finding a home. I was working with other agents who didn’t do their best at finding me a home. I honestly forgot the idea of finding a new home. Emilia and her team surprised me immensely because they were able to get the first house I was interested in. Thank you so much Emilia for your professionalism and always having a positive attitude. You are definitely the best agent I have met! My family and I are so grateful for making our dreams a reality. " Blanca N.

★★★★★
"Emilia was excellent to work with from start to finish. She expertly helped me to navigate some twists and turns that came up during the search and purchase process. I really valued her advice and counsel. She knows the local market better than anyone. She gave sound and solid advice on constructing the offer and negotiating the purchase agreement. Emilia also gave excellent recommendations of other professionals (e.g., inspector, mortgage broker, etc.). Emilia always kept me informed and was always easy to reach and quick to respond. Lastly, she's just a really nice person and fun to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend Emilia!"

★★★★★
"Emilia was an absolute asset in the search and final purchase of my first home! Being new to the home-buying process, Emilia guided me from start to finish on what to expect and how to stand out with competing offers. She was incredibly responsive throughout, and during the search would work with my availability to see homes. Emilia "fights" for you and isn't afraid to call out discrepancies in listings. She is the embodiment of why you get an agent to represent you. In a field of bland, and sometimes robotic, Emilia has character and stands out from the rest!/i>"
★★★★★
""From start to finish Emila was an absolute rock star! She came in with vision, and we received an offer in one week. Emila is very sharp and knowledgeable. Even after receiving an offer she did not let her foot off the gas pedal. Unfortunately our initial offer fell through, no fault to her. She was able get an another offer same day, and open escrow the following day. We also were closing on a home we had an offer on, and Emila was able to communicate with all parties and get it done. Highly recommended Emila 1000%!"

★★★★★
"Emilia was a rock in guiding me through what turned out to be a much more fraught process that I anticipated. All the way through she was available (even when traveling) when I had questions or worries. I would not have trusted anyone who wasn't as familiar with this very particular market as she is. It was like having a strong tree at my back. Escrow has closed and she's still helping with referrals and advice."

★★★★★
"Super Emilia!! First, she was able to find the best tenants for our home. When we decided to sell she was very professional and efficient. As we live abroad Emilia demonstrated excellent solve problems skills. Compass has one of the best Agents. Bravo and Thank you Emilia!"

★★★★★
"Emilia helped us buy our current home, and then to sell our previous one. She is a fantastic advisor and negotiator—and keeps everyone on task with thoughtful follow-ups and a caring, listening ear. Her team is also amazing—as buyers she helped us be financed at the speed of light. When other units were slow to sell, ours closed timely and on price-point because of Emilia’s skills. You will never meet anyone more savvy, creative, and talented as Emilia. She knows the market, and how to market. She helps everyone at the table be their best—and makes dreams happen. Thank you, Emilia, for your commitment to client care and successful transactions."
