"Fred is very professional and knowledgeable with vast experience in the Pomona area.

He is not the least expensive Realtor, but I believe in 'you get what you pay for' and he is worth every penny. He markets the property like no-one else, got us an amazingly high sale price too. I would recommend him over the dime a dozen discounters any day. S.D.

They’re game plan to sell our home not only worked but far exceeded our expectations with multiple offers.

When we first started looking for our home as first-time buyers the COVID-19 pandemic was in its early stages and these were unprecedented times.

After listening to what we wanted in a home, Dawn and Fred quickly understood exactly what kind of property we were looking for, helped us with daily updates on new properties and were almost as excited as we were when we found our property. Fred and Dawn clearly helped represent our interests in the buying process and readily answered any questions we had. We had a great experience with home inspectors suggested by Dawn. She was very knowledgeable about the type of home and meticulous herself in documenting any flaw in the property to bring back to the negotiating table with the seller. Throughout the whole process and even after the sale, Fred and Dawn were extremely personable and helpful while also being very professional. We would recommend Fred and Dawn Van Allen to anyone in a heartbeat.
