Las Casas Realty, Inc. - Los Angeles, California

I'd been a tenant of George Izquierdo's (President of Las Casas Realty long ago) for about 15 years. Over the years of my tenancy, George had mentioned several times that one of the missions of Las Casas is to help people get out of being just tenants, and into homeownership. I always felt that homeownership was unattainable for me. George kept letting me know it was not. He would tell me stories about how he started with his first home, and it was truly inspiring. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and interest rates tanked, George gave me a call to let me know that it was a perfect time to buy. I faltered for a bit, being nervous (and frankly, scared) of taking on the responsibility that owning your own house entails. That said, George had on many times helped me out in many ways to help me save money for a down payment. I still faltered, but eventually took him up on his offer to help by getting me started with an agent. On the Yelp page, it says that George is “an artisan of a different kind… He sees a prospective buyer and sculpts until he creates a homeowner.” I couldn’t agree more with that statement.

When the time came, George set me up with Andrew Izquierdo at Las Casas, and we started working together on finding a house for my fiancée and me. Always upbeat, eager, and positive, Andrew helped us navigate the process from start to finish. We first met with Jeremy Maresca, who works with Las Casas and was helping me out with the loan process. I was prequalified and then preapproved quickly, and was kept very well informed throughout the process. Jeremy, Andrew, and George were always available to talk and answer questions, no matter the time. My fiancée and I went to look at a variety of homes with Andrew. He never had an issue driving out far to meet us, during the week or on the weekend, and working with the sellers' agents to make the process go smoothly. He was also there to help ease my concerns and worries, and keep us sane throughout the process.

Eventually my offer was accepted on a house, and then we closed escrow. That was an amazing thing to see, and it couldn’t have happened without Las Casas Realty. Andrew and George helped me with finding local handyman and painter resources in our new area to start making the house our own.

All in all, I have nothing but good things to say about Las Casas Realty, George, Andrew, and Jeremy. I was impressed and humbled by the generosity, helpfulness, and tenacity of these fine people and their company. If you are looking to buy or sell, please do contact Las Casas Realty first. They've been helping people for decades (since 1978 if I’m not mistaken). They helped me buy my first home, and they can help you too.

Warning! Do not waste your time with David De Anda from Las Casas Realty inc. This agent is very unprofessional and extremely unreliable. I've been trying to lease a property that he is representing and it is almost impossible to get a response from him, all I get is excuses. The only time that I got a reply within a reasonable timeframe was on my initial contact but every other time that I needed to get an update on the status of my application it was almost impossible. I had to contact other people in his office in order to be able to speak to him regarding my application.

He kept telling me that he will call me back, but never did on multiple occasions, he kept saying that he was waiting to hear from the owner of the house but when I finally spoke to the owner of the house it also seemed like the owner was having a difficult time getting David to do things within a reasonable timeframe. My overall experience dealing with David De Anda was extremely frustrating and I would not recommend his services.

David lacks basic communication skills and respect for other people's time. If you value any of those two things then I would recommend you go somewhere else if you have the opportunity to do so.

I saw a few other negative reviews online about David De Anda from Las Casas Realty and thought that maybe it was an isolated incident with the other people that had communication issues but after dealing with him for almost 2 weeks I can confirm that he indeed is a headache to work with. STAY AWAY!!!!
