The SoCal Agent Team - Realtors Arbi & Val Sarkissian - Sherman Oaks, California

Wow, wow, wow. Not sure where to even start with this review. Val Sarkissian absolutely rocked it out as my agent. She went above and beyond and then some.

I came to Val originally wanting a rental and then shifted to purchasing. We looked at houses for months. Literally, months. This gem of a human came with me to everything from fixers that probably should be leveled to mild touch up houses to absolute pieces of art. We saw it all and she never complained about the drive or time spent once. We went from Burbank to Glendale to Pasadena to Altadena and back. We laughed a lot. Working with Val is like working with your badass boss bestie. You have a great time, but you’re also getting sh*t done. She is sincere and dedicated with a fantastic personality.

The level of service is five star. Her communication is thorough, timely and precise. The house I ended up buying… we weren’t the first or second highest offer, we were in the middle and with Val’s rockstar attitude, persistence, communication and get er’ done attitude with the seller’s agent - they ended up taking our offer and we closed in 17 days with a 7 day inspection period. It was tight.

17 days is no joke, it is a ton of paperwork, time and energy in a VERY short amount of time. Val didn’t blink, she was fantastic and lined EVERYTHING up that needed to be done. I never felt worried about the timeline because I knew she and our lender had my back. She went the extra mile and then some.

Post-sale, there was an outstanding issue between the original seller and the city regarding a fence. Val didn’t bat an eye, took the bull by the horns and dealt with it herself. Before, during and after sale - Val has been and continues to be there.

On top of her realtor badassery, Val also has an eye for design. She has a degree in interior design and my god, the woman has great taste. She had some truly fantastic design ideas for my house and for the many houses we toured. Best part, they weren’t bank breakers.

I cannot recommend Val enough for the purchase of your next home or sale of your next property. Her thoroughness, attention to detail, warm personality and experience will leave you feeling cared for and in great hands.

Thank you, Val, for everything!

Val and Arby Sarkissian were great to work with. They were instrumental in helping us get our very first home in Burbank. We looked a ton of homes and they were always super patient and supportive of us. They were quick to answer questions, go to a last minute showing, explained the whole home buying process, gave us on tips of what to look out for. We felt they always had our best interest in mind. There is no way we could have done it without their help.

Working with Arbi and Val was an absolute delight. I needed to rent out my home quickly, and I couldn't get a tenant in before I had to leave on business. So after having two conversations and meeting Val once, I left my house in their hands.
They were kind and generous with their time and treated my home like theirs. They kept in constant communication and were great collaborators. When we finally found a tenant, they handled everything and ensured the new tenant was comfortable.
I will always be very grateful for their caring professionalism. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Val and Arby are AMAZING. Val was incredible as she walked us through buying our first house in a crazy market. She held our hands as we asked her countless questions, gave her honest opinion when we needed it and made the whole process seamless. Val and Arby are both so knowledgeable about neighborhoods and we knew that we could trust their opinions, information and feedback.

We look back at our house buying experience with a smile and a whole lot of thanks for this dynamic duo. If you’re thinking of buying a house, they should be your first call!

Val and Arbi are an amazing team! Val was the lead agent that we worked with while searching for our new home so most of our interactions were with her, but when Arbi was involved he was very helpful as well.

Val is the reason we are in our home now. She worked tirelessly with us and for us throughout the process. She was so supportive and honest, while giving us the space and support to make the decisions that were best for us. She never made us feel like we were taking up too much of her time (even when we were) and spent many days and hours with us looking at homes. She was a sweetheart to our kids and they loved her too!

Without hesitation we would recommend Val and Arbi. They are genuine, hard working people who make a difficult process feel achievable. We wouldn't work with anyone else!

I would recommend Val & Arbi a million times over for all of your real estate needs! We bought during the pandemic, which had many of its own challenges… after looking for MANY years with Val. She was never pushy. I had actually given up when she found the perfect house for us. Home buying is an overwhelming experience and super stressful, but everything I needed, they provided to me.

Arbi and Val helped us to buy our first home. They were super helpful, made the buying process easy and assisted and supported us in every step along the way. Even long after we bought the house they were available for questions and regularly follow with us to see how we are doing in our new home. They a great realtors and especially great human beings. I’d highly recommend them to anyone who wants to buy a property.

Experience: 10/10. There is nothing this team won't do, even post-sale. We've maintained communication and even got the help with an issue that came in after having moved in. Val and team quickly moved to help us resolve the problem. We felt so heard and supported.

They're knowledgable team that is available 24/7 to assist throughout every step of this process.

Thank you so much for your help with buying our home. As a first time home buyer you and your entire team made the process simple and easy to understand. We appreciated your patience and expertise. Your hard work helped us find our dream home, and we couldn’t be more grateful or excited about this milestone. Thank you again for all your care and attention. You’re the best!
