Gustavo Cardenas Realtor Berkshire Hathaway Probate, Trust, Relocation Certified "Voted South Bays Best & Nextdoors Favorite" - Rolling Hills Estates,

Ryan N.

I had the opportunity of working with Gustavo last year, and he brought more than just real estate services—he brought a sense of calm, purpose, and integrity to every interaction. Grounded in his faith, Gustavo approaches his work and relationships with humility and sincerity. He listens deeply—not just to respond, but to truly understand.

Gustavo’s communication is clear, thoughtful, and respectful, and he always carries himself with a positive, gracious attitude that makes people feel valued. Whether you’re navigating a transaction or simply sharing a conversation, Gustavo’s character shines through. I recommend him to anyone looking for a Realtor, because he’s more than that, he’s a whole hearted person that makes the efforts to create good into the world.

I really wanted to hate Gustavo, but oh man was I wrong! We were three sisters dealing with moving our aging mom to a senior center and figuring out what do do with the RPV house we grew up in. One of us called Gustavo early on, before Mom and I had finished going through 65 years of treasures (or junk, depending on how you look at it). It would be another six months before Mom and I finished up and I was finally actually ready to start looking for a realtor. We looked at a ton of websites and reviews and talked to our three strongest candidates. On our final day of cleaning out, Gustavo came out to the house and I immediately knew what my sister had known 6 months before: he was our guy. Super professional, super knowledgeable, easy to talk to and work with. He worked so hard to be there for us (all us sisters AND our mom) every step of the way. He answered every text or email within minutes, even the one I sent on a Friday evening at 9pm. He has an amazing bunch of people to help get the job done (landscape, cleaner, handyman, stager, photographer….) and we got the house on the market in a few weeks. We had 4 offers and closed escrow in 14 days. His wise advice throughout the listing/offer/counteroffer/negotiation process kept us all relaxed because we knew we were in good hands. I’m glad it all went so smoothly, but honestly I’m gonna miss him now that it’s done.

Gustavo Cardenas of the Berkshire Hathaway agency did an outstanding job as our realtor, from day one to final sale, and it was always a real pleasure to collaborate with him. The circumstances were special: my uncle passed away and, as the administrator under probate, I needed to sell his condo in Rolling Hills Estates, California -- but I live in Illinois.

With every detail, Gustavo took the time needed to get the job done in the best manner possible. For starters, we needed to clean out the condo. Gustavo and his wife took a couple hours to walk me through the condo -- every room and every closet -- using a Facetime connection. I then told Gustavo what to do with the furniture and possessions, which he took care of according to my wishes. He then hired a skilled contractor to perform a light renovation, which hit the sweet spot of making the unit desirable for a buyer without spending too much. Finally, Gustavo used a trusted company to stage the unit with attractive furniture. (Gustavo also handled the sale of my Uncle's car through Carvana, which involved extra forms, a smog check, and a jump start from his car.)

The sale of the condo involved the usual steps plus additional probate paperwork. Gustavo was fully knowledgeable about every detail. Importantly, he used his savvy as a realtor to attract many potential buyers, and ultimately secured an excellent sale price.

In summary, Gustavo Cardenas is an outstanding realtor and great individual. I recommend him enthusiastically and without any reservation. - John

To put it simply, Gustavo is a joy to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional, but beyond that he is just a genuinely easygoing, friendly, compassionate and honest person.

From the beginning to the end of the transaction, Gustavo displayed a high level of expertise. His marketing and market analysis were on target, he paid close attention to every detail, and demonstrated his willingness to go above and beyond expectations over and over again.

Gustavo has a knack of making even difficult situations seem easy. His positive energy takes all the stress out of what could be a complicated transaction.

I liked that Gustavo quickly responded to all of my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor able to treat all parties with respect.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Gustavo, and I would recommend him to anyone, especially first-time home buyers.

Gustavo's expertise was matched by his thorough research, which proved invaluable. In some cases, his diligence uncovered critical information that sellers hadn’t disclosed.

Above all, Gustavo is patient and gracious. He consistently prioritized our best interests, presenting information without putting pressure on us, and expertly guided us through the challenges of this competitive market. We hope to work with him again and will always be grateful to him.
