Ray is great. He's a great communicator, and he's very quick. He stuck with us every step of the way, and was patient, encouraging, and very involved as we scouted various properties.

I was looking for a rental in the Los Angeles area while temporarily out of the area. This is not easily done and finding a real estate agent willing to help is not always easy. Ray heard I was looking for help and called and asked what I was looking for, sent me a list of places, and made calls to check availability and make appointments. This was a great help in my housing search.
