When we decided to put our Newport Beach house up for sale, we contacted Art Rivera of Berkshire Hathaway. Why? Because about 15 years ago he acted as our realtor to sell a house in Irvine. He knew the market, and we received top dollar for our particular neighborhood. In preparing our Newport Beach house for sale, Art had all the contacts needed to get the job done quickly, and at reasonable prices. While we were working on the Newport Beach property, we decided to also put a Nellie Gail Ranch property on the market. Once again, Art gave us excellent advice as to what we needed to do to present that home in its most favorable condition. Now we had two homes, in different markets, ready for sale. Art held some "pre-" showings, which immediately resulted in interest by realtors and their clients. Both properties sold within days of coming formally on the market, and we closed escrow on both of them within just days of each other. One of the properties sold for well over what we thought it would bring! We can't say enough good things about Art. He's the best!

Just wanted to thank you for the excellent job you did in selling the two properties for our family group. I'm sure it was difficult dealing with so many different owners on two properties at once, but you handled it so smoothly. It has been a tough couple of years for me and my siblings following our parents' deaths, and we are glad to now have the sale of the houses behind us. We appreciate your professionalism and expertise which resulted in such successful sales.
