Eddie Ramirez

★★★★★
"My wife and I have known Eddie for about 20 years. When we decided to put our income property (apartment building) on the market, we did not hesitate to call Eddie. This property has been in my wife's family for more than 80 years and we felt that Eddie would understand our attachment to it and selling it was a bittersweet decision. Eddie provided us with every assurance that he would treat our property with the respect that it deserved and he delivered on that promise. His knowledge of the market, pricing strategy, and advice on the best offer was nothing less than outstanding. He was always available during the escrow process if we had any questions, handled all of the scheduling issues for inspections, and appraisals. His proactive approach to the marketing made the difference. Once we went live on the market, he had all of the information available that potential buyers would need when deciding to write an offer. When asked by friends and family if I have a good recommendation for a real estate agent, I always recommend Eddie." -Jim & Sheri

"Eddie is the BEST! Stop searching and hire him. For real. We were working with a realtor before Eddie who pushed us too far out of our comfort zone and was just trying to make the sale. Eddie was not that. The moment we met Eddie he felt more like a friend or family member than a realtor. We had similar interests like hiking and food so catching up with him was always fun. Eddie is also a lifelong local with SO much knowledge about the area - We were looking in Pasadena, Highland Park, and Eagle Rock - though his knowledge of all the surrounding areas was so impressive - we also looked in Echo Park and Altadena. The market was not easy and Eddie had nothing but patience while he worked with us. You could tell that Eddie had our best interests in mind at every step of the way, and even found some red flags on properties that we could have overlooked. And then there is the story of how we actually got our house. One thing to know about Eddie he is extremely connected and sits on various boards in the community. Those connections completely paid off by winning us our home! We had put in an offer on a house in Oct and were outbid. A few months later the owner had a personal situation come up and had to sell quickly and Eddie knew the previous seller’s agent and the current seller’s agent. With all those connections we were the first people they called to put in an off-market offer and we won! - All contingencies intact with a credit at the end. We now have a beautiful home in Eagle Rock. Eddie helped us with every question we had, helped us find a loan provider, and even continues to help us find great contractors for some of the work we want to do around the house. I can not say enough great things about Eddie and his kindness, knowledge, and work ethic. We had no idea how much of a difference having a great realtor can have on the home-buying experience and our life as a whole. He made the somewhat complex and scary process easy and approachable. You will be in great hands!" -Ryan & Polly

"The best thing that happened to us in the process of buying a new home and selling our existing home was meeting Eddie Ramirez! Daunted by the dilemma of needing a bigger home in Eagle Rock, we encountered Eddie at an open house. He asked us what we were looking for and began to strategize how to make finding the home we needed a reality. As we searched for homes, he scoured the neighborhood for any potential off-market sales. After looking at several homes, with Eddie always available to be there offering his pros and cons, we finally landed on the perfect house for our family. From making the offer to closing the sale, Eddie was by our side with very careful insights and razor sharp attention to detail. Multiple times throughout the transaction he would tell us “My job is to protect you”, and we always felt that. Eddie takes an extremely thoughtful approach to the process of buying and selling homes, and has developed a very strong base of people to work with from start to finish. And it is clear when you meet them that they all have the utmost respect for him. When we hit a snag with our lender, Eddie knew someone right away who knew how to work with our small business income and find us a loan. And all throughout what is a very stressful time, Eddie has a measured, calming presence and knows how to keep things in perspective with good humor and a smile. Once our new home was purchased, and it came time to sell our previous home, we got a much fuller picture of why Eddie is the best. He counseled us on what repairs would best show off our home, again with a fantastic, professional roster of people to get the work done quickly. Eddie created a streamlined schedule to get the house ready and on the market, and a strong strategy to appeal to multiple buyers. His strategy paid off and we fielded multiple offers quickly are closing at a price we are happy with one month after going on the market. But there are two key things that for me, make Eddie different than any other realtor I have worked with. The first is that he can deliver news you don’t want to hear in a positive and constructive way. In any transaction you will get some of your hopes dashed, and Eddie always tells it to you straight and finds the bright side. The second is that when we were in a strong position as sellers with multiple offers, he encouraged us to pause and consider the feelings of the potential buyers when making our counteroffer. It really showed me how much he understands that the selling of a home from one family to another is a deeply personal and meaningful thing, and not just a transaction. In a market where you are constantly edged out by home-flippers and people trying to get the most for themselves, it’s nice to know there are people like Eddie. I would encourage anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home to give him a call. You will be in very solid hands and, like us, you may also make a new friend." -Doug & Tyler

"Eddie Ramirez of DPP Realty was recommended by a friend who represented her both in the sale and the purchase of a new home. Eddie did the same for us. He is the consummate professional, very hard-working, knowledgeable and so very easy to work with. He did a beautiful job of marketing our home and was able to get us an excellent price. LaLa Klopping is a DPP agent in our neighborhood who worked with Eddie and was so gracious in helping with many details during the selling process. Both Eddie and LaLa were available to solve any issue very quickly —which an incredible asset. On the purchase of our new home Eddie knew the market in our desired area very well. He is an excellent negotiator. We were so pleased with how everything turned out. Eddie is always available to solve any problem big or small and if that isn’t enough he stays in touch after the sale to help with any services that might be needed. We can’t recommend him highly enough. Guaranteed you will be happy if you choose him as your realtor." -Leslie and Eric

"We worked with Eddie as first time buyers and I can say with confidence that he helped us find and negotiate for the best fit in a home for us. Even through my incessant scrolling of Redfin, Eddie was the one that introduced us to the house that became ours! We got the sense that Eddie truly cared about helping us find what worked best for us. He was extremely responsive and helpful as we put in multiple offers (even one while we were on a camping road trip in and out of cell service). He does not hesitate to answer our multitude of naïve questions as first time homeowners and continues to be a resource even post-closing. Eddie found a good balance of offering input when it was helpful while also letting us find our own way. He's also a great hang for those open houses!" -Aaron & Nicole

"We could not be happier with our experience with Eddie. He listed our silver lake property in July 2021 and sold it 15 days later for 15% over list. But those are just the numbers and do not reflect the resourcefulness, expertise, and reliability Eddie brought to the table. from qualified vendors to design decisions to marketing to negotiating you couldn't do better. we used our proceeds to purchase another home and chose to have Eddie represent us as buyers as well. Once again, his resourcefulness was indispensable. We closed on that home - in an extremely competitive market - on Oct. 1. Eddie is both kind and respectful AND a strong businessperson/negotiator. We'll miss spending time with him" -Dino & Julie
