If you are looking for professionals to sell your home, we do not hesitate to recommend the best real estate agent we know… —

They are very knowledgeable, internet-savvy, have a distinctive marketing plan, and a great follow-through. They kept us informed with weekly activity reports including feedback from other realtors and potential buyers who toured our home and also details of where, when and how our property was being advertised and marketed. They sold our home in 2 weeks at a higher price then we were even hoping for in a falling market!

In-depth knowledge of the local real estate market —

The Shoket’s are the best real estate agent we know. We have used the services of many agents in California due to our frequent relocation jobs… Irina has in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market, has a distinctive marketing plan, great property exposure on the internet even to international buyers. But best of all, when you sell your real estate with Irina and Jeff, they become your trusted advisor, your passionate advocate, they have your best interests at theirs heart.

You made us feel very comfortable —

I wanted to write you and share with you what a wonderful experience we had with you on our long pursuit to find the home of our dreams. You were very patient with us. Although our expectations were high (and sometimes maybe unreasonable) I never felt on hint of frustration from you. You made us feel very comfortable. In addition, once our home was found, deposit down, that is when you really started to show your expertise and your follow thru was suberb. For this we are truly thankful and if we ever sell or buy a home we will call our #1 real estate agent.

Meeting you was no coincidence! —

Dear Irina,

We can’t thank you enough for helping us find and purchase our first home. As first time homebuyers the process was extremely intimidating. But with your guidance we were surprised at how smoothly the transaction went. It’s difficult to put into words how thankful we are to have worked with you. We hope that sharing our experience will help to explain how much we truly appreciate you.

Nathan and I believe that everything happens for a reason. Meeting you at an open house that we stumbled upon and decided to check out, in our minds was no coincidence. After a short conversation, we set up an appointment to meet the next evening. In less than 24 hours you had arranged for us to view a handful of properties. All of which were exactly what we had discussed the day before. You had also prepared a Homebuyers Guide, complete with information on the process, terminology and a map of the area. We were more than impressed, knew that you wanted our business and would work hard for us.

In addition to being first time homebuyers, we were also new to the area and not familiar with Conejo Valley. You took the time to show us around, pointed out parks, shopping centers, hiking trails and easy ways to get around town. As a resident of Conejo Valley we knew you’d be even more knowledgeable about the nieces neighborhoods (in our price range) and have personal experience on the best places to go and what to do. You were also able to share your network of local professionals. Introducing us to our Loan Officer and Home Inspector who are as thorough and professional as you are.

Throughout the process you were always available to show us properties, take our phone calls and patient in answering our countless questions. You made us feel as if we were your only clients and anything we needed you were there to to make happen. We felt comfortable and never rushed or pressured into buying a home. During each viewing it was as if you were looking for a home of your own, giving suggestions on upgrades, furniture layout, ect. The entire experience was truly a team effort.

After we decided to make an offer, we were confident knowing that you were representing us. You were honest, gave sound advice and helped us to negotiate a deal we felt comfortable with. You asked for additional items in our offer and additional information upon inspection that were wouldn’t have thought to ask. It was obvious that you had our best interests in mind at all times. You were stellar with communication and followed up on a daily basis, never leaving us in the dark about the status of our offer.

Having started to search for a home only a couple months ago, it’s hard to believe we’re getting the keys to our perfect first home today. We’re extremely grateful for the team that helped us along the way, but most importantly, we are grateful for you Irina. We can honestly say that what started off as a business relationship has developed into a friendship and we look forward to having you and your husband over for dinner in our new home.

As first time homebuyers we were nervous, scared and excited at the same time to make such a big commitment —

We met Irina at the Open House in Thousand Oaks, as we just started to think about our first home… but that year we didn’t buy because we were not ready to commit and the time was not right for us. Irina listened to us and advised us what was in our best interests and what we were comfortable with at that time. She helped us to find a house for lease in the neighborhood we always wanted to live…

A year later, Irina helped us to buy a perfect home for our family in the same neighborhood we liked so much. As first time homebuyers we were nervous, scared and excited at the same time to make such a big commitment but Irina was with us every step of the way: during the whole process of buying, finding the perfect home, making an offer, getting a loan, negotiating the deal with the seller, removing contingencies and closing escrow, and also after the home became ours…

We maintain wonderful relationship with Irina and refer all our friends with pleasure and confidence to our Realtor for life, Irina.

You sold my house in 3 weeks and in a slow season! —

I am quite happy with the way everything worked out.. When I listed my house with you, I felt very special as if I was the only client you were working for. Impossible of course, but the personal touch goes a long way and I always felt you were looking after me every step of the way... You worked relentlessly to achieve this goal. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone I know.. Thank you very much.

We were on the brink of foreclosure —

Irina was referred to us by our friends. In 2010 we were on the brink of foreclosure due to our distressed situation (my husband’s unemployment and shortly after that my husband’s illness and huge medical expenses.) Having two small children our situation was dire, I didn’t know what to do, and was desperate after we were denied mortgage modification… Irina told us about HAFA program, successfully sold our property through the short sale transaction and negotiated the best terms for us. Irina had great empathy, patience and understanding of our situation. She has been patiently educating us through the process while skillfully presenting our case to the banks and diplomatically negotiating with a buyer’s agent. We are very thankful to have her to represent us during our most difficult times. We were able to move on with our lives and move to Pensylvania close to my family. I have a job now and my husband’s health is slowly improving… Thank you, Irina

I was very impressed with your genuine kindness and respect in the process —

I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for all your help in the search for my home. Your enthusiasm and diligent efforts to find that home was very apparent, and I must say I was very impressed with your genuine kindness and respect in the process. You truly care about people and I think that is probably the most important thing I can say about you!

I will highly recommend you to others as the professional realtor that will make their home buying experience, both successful and pleasurable.

My best regards to you Irina and continued prosperity and blessing in everything you put your hands to!

We were so afraid and apprehensive of everything —

We were so lucky to meet Irina at the Open House in Thousand Oaks. As first time home buyers we were so afraid and apprehensive of everything…. Irina has been so understanding, so wonderful and so helpful with our search and purchase of our new home. She made what seemed so complicated and overwhelmingly scary, so easy and enjoyable. We love our home and we are so happy to raise our two little boys in a safe friendly neighborhood and for that we thank our realtor and now friend, Irina, who helped us to become proud homeowners and change our lifestyle…

Your honest guidance was very refreshing —

I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate all your help with the purchase of our home. Your honest guidance was very refreshing.  Many of the agents we have worked with in the past put great pressure on reacting quickly and emotionally with our purchases. You provided us with solid intelligence from the onset, good knowledge on each property but ultimately let us decide whether it was the right home to purchase without the typical agent push. Your ability to stay on top of the details and be very accessible throughout with great tenacity toward the negotiation is much appreciated.

They Deeply Care About Their Customer —

“Irina was there for me every step of the way – from researching the market to showing me multiple listings between Pasadena and Thousand Oaks to writing an offer to closing the escrow. She is truly a real estate professional of the highest caliber, knows the market extensively, communicates clearly, and negotiates tactfully and confidently. But most importantly - she deeply cares about her customer and puts the customer's interests first. She navigates all possible complications skillfully and leads you along the complex process of home-buying to the house of your dream. I am in my dream house today because of Irina. No questions about it.”

– Andrei Nikitin

We had our property on the market for MONTHS —

We were frustrated and were ready to give up until we were referred to Irina Shoket. We were so fortunate to meet such enthusiastic, creative, knowledgeable & caring agent like Irina! All of a sudden everything became EASY! Not only she did a detailed inspection of our home and told us EXACTLY what needed to be done before putting the house back on the market in order to sell it quickly for the best price, she actually staged our house accentuating the best selling features of the house so it started to look like a model home… and you might know the rest of the story with a happy ending – We sold our property in three weeks and moved on with our lives in North Carolina!
