What Others are Saying…
“Aaron’s professionalism, trustworthiness, and knowledge in the field were extremely helpful in the sale of my home and the purchase of a smaller replacement home concurrently. I was amazed how skillfully he coordinated both sales as I was able to move directly from my old home to my new house. He answered my questions and assisted me in the transfer of my tax basis from my old to new home, which will save me hundreds of dollars annually. I’m so glad I selected Aaron and highly recommend him!”
-Christy Ragge
“We used Aaron to help us sell our home and buy a new one because we knew that he’d use technology to
market our house. We got multiple offers and sold our home for over asking price in only a few weeks. He also helped us
negotiate a good price on our new home. We have already recommended him to friends and family because we trust him and he’s great to work with.”

Dear Aaron,
We are writing this letter to express our deep gratitude for representing us in the sale of our home. You made the complex process of a short sale seem extremely uncomplicated. We appreciated your attention to detail and your enthusiasm to help us.
We have dealt with other realtors in the past however; they were no comparison in service and commitment. We also respect your knowledge of the real estate market and new technology to help in the process. You were extremely responsive and available which says volumes about the type of work ethic you possess.
Again, we are nothing but pleased with your performance and would most definitely recommend you to everyone.
Sincerely,
Shawn and Gia Youngblood

“I do thank God for the blessing of this hard working man of integrity…”

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter as a follow up of the sale of my father-in-law’s condo.
Aaron is my Realtor and I just have to express my gratitude for this kind, diligent man. He has been consistently working by my side since May 2010 preparing for his sale.
I faced many issues in the “project” of selling this condo and I don’t think that it would be sold now if I had any other Realtor working with me during this time. Aaron has been professional with his suggestions, patient in his expectations, and always respectful of my time. He was involved over and above what I would have expected in making sure the contractors [who were working on the condo] finished their job to code, which was sometimes very frustrating for me because of their lack of following through on the job. I felt Aaron always had my back covered.
Aaron is reassuring and calm. He found a wonderful buyer who waited patiently until the time of closing. I am sure this was due to Aaron’s encouragement to the buyer that this sale would indeed go through. The sale was made as simple for me as possible and I am grateful it is done.
Thank you Aaron, for seeing me through this. I do thank God for the blessing of this hard working man of integrity in my life.
With gratitude,
Kathy (and Joe) Fiktarz
I’d like to say that it was a privilege to help Joe and Kathy with the sale of their condo. They were great clients and I wanted to make sure that they received the highest level of service. I look forward to working with them again in the future!

“He was, simply the best real estate agent we have ever worked with in buying a new home.”
September 25, 2010
RE: Aaron Zapata, and the purchase of our home in Yorba Linda
I wanted to send you a quick note and provide you with some feedback on Aaron Zapata. Aaron was our agent during our recent relocation from the Chicago area to SoCal. One of the highlights of our recent move was working with Aaron on finding our next home. He was, simply the best real estate agent we have ever worked with in buying a new home. He was professional, always prepared, and listened to what we were looking for, in our next home. We had a very small window of time to try and find something that fit into our schedules and we actually purchased the first home he took us to. He knew exactly what we were looking for and made the most of the limited time we had for house hunting. We also had some very challenging issues in working with the seller of our new home, along with the agent, and it got even more complicated with the seller and agent of the home our seller was buying. Aaron carefully navigated through the sticky challenges with the other parties and we ended up with the house we wanted. We also had some unique challenges in getting through the financing part of our new home purchase and Aaron did a great job in working with our mortgage company and helping us move that process forward as quickly as possible.
Besides his thorough knowledge and understanding of the real estate market in SoCal, one of his strengths is his people skills and handling difficult issues, in a high-stress environment. We appreciated his calm and consistent approach no matter what the circumstances were, as we had some stressful situations in this transaction. I would highly recommend Aaron to any of my peers at work, or friends or family who are relocating to this area.
Sincerely,
Jim and Lori Cureton

“I won a small victory.”
Thanks for making a special effort to get the property info to me this morning. I was appealing the county assessor’s tax bill… I won a small victory – he knocked thousands off the base valve thereby saving me a few dollars. Every bit helps.

“When there were possible issues, you pointed them out, clarified ambiguities, and also provided me options.”
June 4, 2010
Dear Aaron,
It’s been several months since you helped me finalize my home purchase for my relocation, and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the personal touch you gave me throughout the process.
From the beginning, you took the time to understand my needs and took care of all the little details. You refined the home search process by asking the right questions, and taught me about the real estate market dynamics and nuances. Most of all, I truly appreciated you facilitating the mortgage, home inspection, and escrow processes as it helped reduce some of the stress of settling into my new job.
While I understand that you have many people to take care, you treated me like your number 1 client whenever we interacted (whether in person, on the phone, or by e-mail) because you provided timely delivery and looked out for my interests. When there were possible issues, you pointed them out, clarified ambiguities, and also provided me options.
Your real estate expertise and experience have been invaluable in meeting my relocation needs. I am confident that you will continue to provide this excellent service to others as you have to me.
My best wishes to your continued success.
Sincerely,
José Low
Human Resources Manager
“Aaron did everything possible to make sure that the stressful process of selling my home went very smooth.”
I was referred to two selling agents from my neighborhood from the relocation company handling my move. After meeting with the two agents, I clearly decided on which one of the two I would select. Since the two agents suggested selling prices didn’t come within a certain tolerance, the relocation company referred me to Aaron Zapata for a third opinion. I ended up choosing Aaron over the other agent I was so excited to work with because in our initial meeting he was timely, organized, and seemed so confident he could quickly sell my house.
Even though Aaron was busy going to jury duty, he was able to get my house up for sale with in a week. Sure enough, I got an offer on my house at the first Open house as Aaron so confidently predicted. All through out the negotiation and escrow process he kept on top of all the details and was very helpful in providing me sound advice.
I would highly recommend Aaron Zapata to anyone that has any Real Estate service needs. He was very professional, experienced, and did everything possible to make sure that the stressful process of selling my home went very smooth.
Sincerely,
Melinda Weber

“Aaron showed what it takes to be of value to a client.”
My wife and I have moved 11 times in 15 years due to job relocation. We have always been provided a realtor with varying degrees of ability and effort.
Our move from LA to Chicago presented a unique problem. Namely, I was out of town and my wife was out of town. As a result we needed a independent and organized realtor.
From the first contact Aaron stood apart. He made timely contact, was thorough, knowledgeable, and focused. He staged our house, he stayed in constant contact despite distance and time zone differences. The end result was multiple offers in a short time period.
Relocation is stressful. Aaron showed what it takes to be of value to a client. He was outstanding and exceeded our expectations.

“Aaron found us our first home!.”
“We would not be in this house without Aaron.”
There can simply no doubt that without Aaron Zapata as our real estate agent, we could not have bought the home in which we currently live. Aaron did a phenomenal job negotiating and talking through the sale with the other parties involved. He gave us clear guidance through the home buying process, though never telling us what we HAD to do, he gently guided us into the best possible scenario. What was most amazing was Aaron’s willingness to work with us at seemingly any time of the day or week.
We embarked on this new adventure with Aaron in December of 2008, when we first called him to ask if he could help us find our new home. After seven months, ten offers and more than 100 homes viewed, one of the most difficult and complex real estate transactions was complete. Because of Aaron, we are now in the home that is perfect for our family.
Through the tenuous and nerve racking experience of purchasing a short sale Aaron walked us through the process step by step. If there is an easy short sale, this was not it. At times, we wanted to throw in the towel. Aaron, however, was there to take our numerous worried phone calls and help us sort through all of our options. Not once did Aaron get impatient with us, nor act like our questions were silly or ill-founded. Every time we contacted Aaron, he was happy and upbeat and ready to answer our questions. Aaron is a very hard worker who strives to make all of his clients happy with their real estate transaction.
Not only was Aaron there for us, he was there for the transaction. As it became clear that this escrow was about to fail, Aaron made a phone call everyday to the parties involved. As the “drop-dead” day approached, he made as many as four calls per day on our behalf. We know that had we not had such a persistent realtor working for us, the deal on our home would have never happened.
There are many real estate agents in the Southern California region from whom to choose. We are convinced that Aaron Zapata is the very best. For anyone who wants personal attention to real estate needs, we highly recommend Aaron. He will not disappoint.
Sincerely,
Konrad & Deborah Hack

“He was timely, professional, and very organized.”
I was referred to three selling agents for my neighborhood from the relocation company handling my move. My task was to interview all three and provide them information about the selling of my home. I chose Aaron Zapata because at our initial meeting he was timely, professional, and very organized. Out of the three agents it was clear he did his homework and took the time to visit the surrounding properties to obtain a fair assessment on the recommended selling price. I immediately felt he would be honest and minimize as much work for me as possible and he quickly gained my trust.
In preparation for listing my home, he spent hours working to get it staged for showing. He even got down on his hands and knees, in his dress shirt and slacks to adjust my sliding closet doors to run smoothly on the track. He also picked up and put things away, while I packed for a mini vacation and let me leave for my vacation while he finished up. He also prepared a virtual video tour and provided ample marketing materials.
One initial assessment Aaron made was that my property would have multiple offers within the first week of listing. His knowledge and experience proved itself, we had 3 full price offers in the first 2 days! Throughout the negotiation and escrow process, Aaron did a great job providing updates when necessary and took care of all of the details which made the whole process seamless. He always made himself available and provided honest sound advice.
Aaron Zapata was very professional and made me feel like he really cared and I would highly recommend him for any of your Real Estate service needs!
Sincerely,
Nancy Degler

“He put in the extra time to make sure I was informed…”
I recently worked with Aaron Zapata to purchase my first home. I closed escrow just over a week ago on a condo in Fullerton and couldn’t be happier with my property.
We began working together nearly 6 months ago and spent a great deal of time trying to find the right property. I was in the market for a very competitive price range at $250,000, and Aaron was very helpful in finding properties for me to look at and being available to view properties on my schedule. We made multiple offers on short sales, bank repos, as well as traditional sales, and when we finally got an offer accepted it was a great price in a great location.
Aaron was very pleasant to work with and I felt that he put in the extra time to make sure I was informed about the properties I was looking at, and was looking at a range of properties to truly get a feel for what was on the market. Out of all the properties we looked at and placed offers on, I’m truly happy I ended up with the one I did, and it was Aarons’ perseverance that got us there!
In closing, I’d be happy to recommend Aaron to any prospective clients. He was great to work with and got me just what I wanted for under my budget!
Sincerely,
Julie Fitzpatrick
