When my husband and I needed to chose a realtor to handle the sale of our home in Burbank we wanted someone who was familiar with the town, would make suggestions on what we could do to the house to maximize its potential, would aggressively market our house even though it wasn’t the biggest on the block, and would be open to using social media to reach out to potential buyers.  We were familiar with many of the local agents but had not yet met Judy when I came across her San Fernando Valley real estate blog.  I immediately liked her sense of humor and appreciated her knowledge of the local and national markets.  I felt as though she would be someone who could guide us through the most important business transaction we might make in our lives.  I sent an inquiry of interest to Judy through her website and she responded immediately to set up a meeting.   When we sat down with Judy what we liked was that she was interested in our expectations and goals and she also took time to walk through the house on her own to get a feel for it.  She also mentioned a few things she thought we could do to show the house to its best potential, i.e. staging.  We had recently spent a lot of money upgrading the house and were averse to spending any more, but Judy had some persuasive reasons for why she thought it was important.  She was clear the final decision would be up to us, but we did feel confident in her expertise (and ultimately had the house beautifully staged as she’d suggested.)  Although we had some apprehension about signing with an agent we’d picked somewhat randomly, we can now say that we had a great experience with Judy.  She kept us frequently updated, worked hard to build interest in our house, used social media to promote the sale status and held a festive Open House that made people want to hang out at the house.  She made sure we understood each piece of paper we had to sign and kept track of all pertinent dates.   The sale of our house was very fast and rewarding.  In today’s market, you need someone forward thinking who knows what needs to be done in order to get an above average result; Judy proved to be that person for us.

Check out my video testimonial from Greg & Allison in the May 2011 section of my blog at http://sfvrealestate.blogspot.com!

"This was the first home we purchased. We were not concerned about finding the right place or whether we could afford it. Our biggest concern was finding the right agent to carefully walk us through the whole process and fight for us to find the right place and price. Judy Graff was exactly this person. People don't realize how much time and personal information you end up sharing with your agent, so it's very important to find an agent that you can trust and get along with. We were lucky to find that in Judy."
-- First-time buyers

"Judy was enthusiastic and always made sure I had the latest information to make the best decision whether selling or buying.  She assisted me in selling property after a divorce. She was very professional and was able to be a mediator between my ex and myself during a difficult time.  After the sale of these properties she assisted me in purchasing a new house that met all my expectations.  I would highly recommend Judy to anyone looking for an agent with high standards and the tenacity to get you the best deal."
-- Peter H.

I came to Los Angeles in 2009 and was renting an apartment in Burbank for the last two years.  I finally decided to purchase a home but I really had no idea where to start.  My cousin highly recommended Judy to me as she had recently used Judy to purchase her new home.  I am so glad she did.

Judy Graff has been one of my most efficient, pleasant and supportive agents you could find.  She really has her client's best interest at heart.  She isn't your average real-estate agent.  She explains everything in clear concise terms and also raises red flags when she believes the deal isn't in the best interests of the client.  She is also one of the most effective communicators I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with; all the way through closing and even after!  You will never feel like you're in the dark.  Integrity in this industry is hard to find these days.  I'm glad we found Judy.  

And our new home is wonderful!

-- Pranay P.

Judy has been so amazing in helping me find my first home/condo! She was always helpful and positive with the whole process, even when it seemed like I might never find the right place for me. When I finally had an offer on a short sale property, she was so persistant with the bank, HOA company, escrow company especially when things were lagging on their end or when we hit bumps in the road. She would call them every day to check the status on their end and make sure they were moving along with the whole process. She made sure to always communicate everything with me that was happening whether big or small. All of her efforts paid off as I now own a beautiful condo! I would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thank you Judy!!!

-- Gina Ghiglieri

Thanks so much for all your efforts on my recent short sale! Your dedication and perserverance were excellent and gave me so much peace of mind.

-- Bianca Sanchez
 
Once we decided we were ready to purchase a home, the scariest thing for us was not about the money or finding the right home.  We were most concerned about finding the right real estate agent to work with.  We wanted someone who was going to look out for our best interest, educate us and negotiate the best deal possible.  We didn´t know anyone who could give us a referral, so we spent a lot of time going through newspapers and the internet searching for an agent.  We eventually came across Judy´s website and found it to be very informative and helpful, so we called her up and set up an appointment.  After our first meeting, we knew she was the right person for us as she was very professional and knowledgeable.  Plus we liked her and that´s important because you end up sharing personal information and spending a lot of time together.  She did a lot of "hand holding" and educated us every step of the way.  We first met her in late January 2010 and closed escrow on May 4, 2010 on our brand new condo in Studio City. We´re truly grateful to you Judy and will count on you again when we buy our next place.   

-- Julie and Michael Nomoto

I contacted Judy in September 2009 to begin to explore the idea of selling our house in Burbank and buying a new place where we could "down size" because our youngest child is about to graduate from high school.  I have worked with several real estate agents on two previous home purchases, but Judy's expertise was really remarkable.  She was patient--letting us work through issues at our own pace--but her initial advice was always right on target; we came around to her suggestions every single time.  She knew precisely when to assert herself, when to let us explore on our own, and she saved us lots of headaches and lots of money.  We made offers on two properties but she helped us learn there were significant issues that would have caused these to be unwise investments.  Rather than encouraging us to buy simply because prices were low, Judy really understood our situation and actually encouraged us to rent rather than make a purchase that we would have later regretted.  She advised us on what we needed to do to sell our house quickly.  We got a number of offers within a matter of days and sold the house for the price we wanted.   It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend that anyone considering buying or selling a home work directly with Judy.  She's the best!

--Melinda Utal-Martinez

There is no way to completely express our gratitude for Judy Graff.  Having helped us with our first home purchase 5 years ago, our experience was so special there was no way we would have dreamed of going anywhere else.  Once again Judy went above and beyond even when this particular escrow seemed to be exploding in our faces.  She held it together and though the sellers were difficult she handled everything with aplomb and alacrity.  We are so lucky just to know Judy let alone have her represent us!
--Ross and Tracy Necessary

Thank you. Thank you...Thank you!!!  You've been our angel throughout this entire process -- we would not have found home without you.  Let us know when you're ready for [us to adopt you]!
--The Ingalls

"As a first time home buyer I felt very happy working with Judy. She walked me through every step and guided me with my home search and purchase. Judy is very hard working and dedicated and her knowledge about the neighborhood makes her stand out from the crowd.  I would say Judy Graff is the best real state agent I have ever met. Thank you, Judy!"
--Abhishek Gupta

"Thought I'd give you my testimonial here; since I've been both buyer and seller.  Simply put: Judy Graff is truly at the top of her trade! She not only has all the expertise and experience you would hope for and expect; but more importantly, she possesses such profound  intangibles that make either buying or selling a painless and rewarding experience. Five years ago, Judy guided me through my first home buying experience with an amazing and intuitive understanding of my every question and concern. Her talent and patience led me to a beautiful home in Granada Hills that had my name on it the moment I walked through the door.

Fast forward to three months ago when it was time for me to sell my first home and move on: I knew only Judy would find me the perfect buyer during one of the most difficult periods in Southern California's real estate market. Once again, she was there every step of the way to make sure that my needs were met.

To sum up, my long winded yet, well deserved praise of Judy...She is EXTRAORDINARY!"

-- Martin Kutney
 
"Just a quick note - for now - to say "thank you." Selling a home for even the most stable of families is a HUGE project, especially in this market. Selling a home when the owner/wife/mom is 2,000 miles away is heart-wrenching.  You found me this home 9 years ago - and we were so happy there. Thank you for helping us find a new family who will also, I am sure, be happy. Be well. God bless."

-- Patrice Jordan


"In the current housing market, most agents are focused more than ever on the sale. An exception to the stereotype is Judy Graff. Judy approaches the task like a matchmaker, finding the right home for the client. For us, she evaluated the Burbank market, researched the options and narrowed them down to the homes that fit our taste and needs. Through this tailored approach, she helped us find a house that was better than we had imagined--and her advice, diligence and attention to detail made the process seem effortless--even fun. For some, realty is a job; for others it's a career. For Judy, it's about establishing a long-term relationship between her clients and their home."

--Mark Meloccaro


"Judy Graff is truly a standout in the crowded world of real estate brokers and agents. We interviewed several agents before we decided to work with Judy; herexperience, energy and thorough understanding of today´s difficult real estate environment were evident
from the start.

She listened to our needs and concerns, and she helped us find the perfect house in Burbank. A long-time expert on the area, she alerted us to the property early-before it was even shown to brokers in the community. In addition, as the house was a complete rebuild, Judy acted as our advocate with the builder
to ensure that the finish work was done to our
satisfaction.

She also sold our previous home in Hollywood. Although the market was on the cusp of a downturn, Judy continued to strategize to get that house off our hands at a fair price. Not to mention, she became a real friend during our long professional relationship. Judy really went above and beyond her responsibilities as our representative in so many ways.

If you are in the market for a dedicated professional in real estate, we can´t recommend Judy Graff highly enough."

-- Barbara and Jeff Wise


"It was a distinct pleasure having Judy as my Realtor; she worked hard and found the exact property I wanted in the Burbank Ranchos. I found the entire experience working with Judy enjoyable and easy, an especially challenging feat as at the time I was living 200 miles away from my new home. Judy listened to my house hunting wants and needs and effectively found properties so as to maximize our time looking at properties. Judy consistently conveys the highest standards of professionalism yet is warm, caring and supportive. Her attention to detail is remarkable, her communication awesome! This is by far the smoothest escrow I have ever been through. Although I can´t think of ever leaving my wonderful home in the Ranchos, I can´t imagine being represented by anyone other than Judy Graff!"

-- Melanie Haug

"House hunting and selling in Burbank was a far more pleasurable experience with Judy by our side.  Her expertise and professionalism came through in every phase - getting our home ready for sale, finding the perfect new home, making an offer, finding a buyer, and escrow.  We never walked into a situation unprepared.  She proactively followed through on every detail, worked easily with all the players and became tough as nails when needed.  Judy, thank you for your terrific advice, the passion you gave to our endeavors and of course, the fantastic results.  You set a worthy standard for any profession and we are truly grateful.."

"She rocks!"

-- Ivan Taylor
"You are the best real estate agent in the world!!!! No if's no puns, no buts, no ors!"

-- Tony Roggero

"As a first time home buyer I felt so lucky to be working with Judy.  With all her years of experience she was able to answer my neophyte questions and
assure me through the whole nerve-racking process.  I knew she was someone I could trust to help me make the BIGGEST purchase of my life. Thank You, Judy!"

-- Laura Schwemer-Calnan 		  
"From putting our home on the market to closing the deal, Judy Graff was so helpful. Detailed, organized, and right on about market values. Her humor made the process so much easier."

-- Robert & Yvonne Cseko 		  
"As a first time home buyer I was overwhelmed by the whole process. Judy was a life saver - she walked me through every step and guided me with MY best interests at heart. She was always available and ready to help. (And trust me - I had a lot of questions!) I honestly don't know where I would be without her - probably still renting! Thanks Judy for all your hard work and helping me find my first home. You're amazing!"

-- Kim Mackey 
  
"How can you say 'thank you' to me? I am the one who is indebted to you and will never, ever be able to thank you enough. You are truly the most caring (and loving), honest, sincere, and dedicated realtor I've ever known. You really wanted me to get the maximum $ from the sale of my house -- and we did..."

-- Marian Dos Santos		  
After meeting literally a dozen real estate agents while looking at homes in the Burbank/Glendale area, I met Judy at an open house.  Immediately I could tell she wasn´t "slick" or "phony" like many of the other agents, nor did she treat me like a complete idiot (even though when it came to real estate I truly was).  Judy took the time to find out about me, my lifestyle and what type of home I was looking for and together we searched the area until one day she found my dream house.  The negotiations for the home were difficult, and I was overwhelmed with the entire process, but Judy didn´t abandon me, and really worked hard to make sure I got the house and a fair deal.  If it weren´t for her stick-with-it attitude coupled with her reassurances that everything would be okay, I wouldn´t have this house today.  Judy, if I haven´t told you lately, THANK YOU for making my house dreams come true!

-- Paula K. Allen

  
"In the spring of 2003 I endured the nerve wracking adventure involved with selling my home. I was fortunate to secure the services of Judy Graff, a splendid realtor who not only knew every nook and cranny of the housing market but was able to translate it with encouragement and confidence. She is insightful, experienced, friendly and obviously respected for her knowledge and ability to relate to nervous buyers and sellers. She helped me tailor my marketing and obtain the highest price. I have found my realtor."

-- Tom Allard

"As first time homebuyers, we couldn\'t have found a more perfect fit for our experience than Judy. Her professional, accommodating manner was so encouraging throughout the process that we never had any anxieties from writing the offer to the close of escrow. Realtors are not hard to find but someone as genuine as Judy is a catch. We'd recommend her to anyone."

-- Ross and Tracy Necessary

 
"We met Judy at an Open House In Burbank. It was love at first site! She was so engaging and personable that we immediately felt at home.

Judy is a friend and partner!"

-- Joe Newell and Brad Herron
  
"I have bought and sold real estate in Canada and the United States for many years and Judy Graff is the BEST agent I have ever worked with.When my wife and I met Judy a few years ago at one of her Burbank open houses we felt an instant connection with her as a real person and not one of those pushy car sales person types.She was great at listening to our real estate needs and responded with a thorough plan to help find the right home for us.Her patience and knowledge has only been matched by her kindness and hard work.Thanks to Judy we were able to buy a house that finacially increased tremendously in a short period of time.Judy was also able to sell our previous house very fast and above the market value.Judy`s fine qualities as a real estate agent are only exceeded by her greater qualities as a real person.We are proud to call Judy and her husband Steve our friends.You would be just as lucky."
 
-- Ken and Juliet  Schacter

"I'm the guy in Texas you called today about rentals.  I can't thank you enough for being so considerate and taking time out of your busy 
schedule and returning a phone call for a person who can't do business with you.  If that's how your treat non-clients, i can only imagine how well you serve those with whom you do business. Thanks again."
