Rob McGarry

I am one of Rob’s tenants and everything has been handled in an extremely professional way, including viewing, application, move-​in, and beyond. I truly appreciated his flexibility and responsiveness throughout the process.

Rob is deeply knowledgeable about the South Bay real estate market. He works hard and makes sure he is always available. He is friendly and really makes it easier to get through the the homebuying process.

Rob was an absolute pleasure to work with in buying our first home in Manhattan Beach. We worked with Rob for over two years in trying to find the perfect home for our growing family. He was very patient with us and was extremely responsive to our many questions. For two nervous first time home buyers, Rob made the process absolutely painless, and we can’t recommend him enough. He genuinely cares for his clients and his advice was spot on throughout our entire buying process. Even once we closed, he’s continued to offer his advice and vendor recommendations. You can’t go wrong with Rob!

Rob went above and beyond the call of duty for us on numerous occasions. Even 1 year after the purchase of our home, he took the time to help us with a vendor issue. We had very specific requirements for the house we hoped to buy. Rob patiently worked with us for 1.5 years until we finally found the HOME we wanted to buy. We could always count on Rob to give us an objective, honest perspective on houses we were considering. Rob’s deep knowledge of the South Bay, plus his extensive connections were extremely valuable during the process. We are so thankful for everything Rob!

It was a pleasure to work with Rob on the purchase of our first home. Rob is very knowledgeable about the South Bay Area and helped us find the perfect city for us. He’s very attentive, responsive, and patient. He’s also very well connected in the community. Rob went above and beyond by providing great recommendations for contractors and vendors to help make the home our own. You’ll be in good hands with Rob.

Rob was an amazing partner in my home search and purchase. He went above and beyond in every aspect from beginning to end, which resulted in my finding a great house, at an amazing price and with a seamless contract and closing process. During the home search Rob was always a step ahead of the game finding places that met my specifications before or as they hit the market. Since inventory was low at the time his knowledge of the area and market was paramount. This allowed us to be the first to see and bid on potential homes and ultimately resulted in us getting an accepted offer on the perfect place at a below market price. As a new buyer in California I wasn’t completely sure of how the process works and I was admittedly a bit overwhelmed. Thankfully, I was in good hands with Rob. He was present and involved in every tiny step along the way making sure that I understood the process, as well as making sure that I was protected and making smart decisions. I had no idea it could be so easy!!! In addition, Rob went the extra mile making sure that I had all that I needed to get settled in my new home, from utility contacts to specific vendors for repairs and upgrades. I highly recommend Rob to anyone searching for or selling a home. He operates with great professionalism and integrity and it is very evident that he loves what he does!

We truly cannot thank you enough for all of your support, knowledge and dedication while buying our first home. Not only did you make the process fun and exciting, you also helped make it practically stress free! You always made yourself available, had awesome communication, and made sure we were on top of our responsibilities as well. We absolutely love our new house and we are enjoying the process of making it our home! Thank you again for all of your expertise, and when people ask us who our Realtor was we will proudly say, Rob McGarry!
Thanks for all of your support!

Rob was amazing. We met him at an open house and contacted him once we got
serious about buying in the South Bay area. Rob was very knowledgeable about
the South Bay market and was very honest with us about houses/​neighborhoods
he thought we would like/​hate/​should consider, etc. based on our expressed
needs/​wants. This helped us to narrow our search more quickly and also made
us feel that Rob was honest and forthright with us, and not simply looking
to make an sale to us.
He was also incredibly helpful throughout the offer/​negotiation process. He
negotiated really effectively, returned calls to us and worked on the
negotiation well before and after normal business hours in order to make
sure the deal happened and to keep us apprised of the process. Rob was also
very honest with us throughout the inspection process and escrow. His
knowledge of this whole process and experience with local inspectors,
mortgage lenders, etc. was a huge help because it ensured that we were
working with people that were not ripping us off and who had great working
relationships with Rob already. We still rely on Rob for recommendations for
services we need around the house — chimney sweepers, plumbers, carpenters,
even a nanny.
Rob was a joy to work with and my husband and I will surely use him again
when it comes time to sell our home and buy a new one. He made the entire
house buying process as easy as it could be and we felt like we were in good
hands throughout the entire experience. We could not recommend him more
strongly.

Rob was recommended to me by a friend who had a great experience with him, and I am glad to have gotten to know him. Rob is such a professional. From his newsletters (which are very well researched and informative) to his integrity to his hard work and responsiveness, I certainly give him my highest recommendation. Specifically, he advised that I hold on to a rental property for an additional year, despite the fact that such a decision did not really benefit him — he was really looking out for my best interest. Like I said, he does a ton of research, and so this combination of knowledge about the market and his integrity make him a great person to trust when buying/​selling a home.

My husband and I would definitely recommend Rob to anyone looking to buy a home in the South Bay! His extensive knowledge of the area’s neighborhoods and schools was so helpful to us, and he has many well-​established personal relationship with other agents, as well as contractors, painters, landscapers, and many other people who were very valuable to us in the process of choosing a house and turning it into our home.
Most importantly, Rob was patient. He never tired of finding and showing us different properties, even when our priorities (and our budget) changed a few times over the several years that it took for us to make our final choice. We feel very lucky to have had Rob as our realtor, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use him again in the future.

Rob has excellent knowledge of the real estate market in the South Bay. His years of experience make him great at negotiating and resolving any issues that come up during a transaction. When assisting buyers, he gains an excellent sense of what specifically you are looking for and does a thorough job of filtering through options for you until you find exactly what you want. I would definitely recommend Rob to any friends and colleagues looking to buy or sell in the South Bay.

Rob is the best in the South Bay and I have the house to prove it. I have a great place to live and I made an awesome investement.
I have worked with multiple Real Estate Professionals in the South Bay and elsewhere. Rob s the realtor I want on my side through a home purchase or home sale.

Did he make the process easier for me?
Absolutely!
Was my market knowledge valuable?
Well, I’ve got the house to prove it. We got the best house in the best area for the best price. Can I ask for anything more?
In what ways did he go above and beyond to help you?
Rob has a skill to hear what you say and respond to your comments with productive home searches. I didn’t waste my time looking at bad houses. We saw the houses that fit my interests and needs. Then, we worked through the buying process with ease.

Rob was on top of all the details. He returned phone calls and emails promptly. He
steered u to a reputable lender that closed on time with no glitches. Was a fine «go between» for us and the selling party and their agent. He was able to explain details
in easily understandable terms. After escrow closed he followed up to make sure everything was to our satisfaction.

Rob provided outstanding customer service to us during our home search. He listened to our needs, was extremely thorough in helping us find what we wanted and provided great advice along the way. Rob’s knowledge and insight of the South Bay market was instrumental in making the buying experience smooth and seamless. We highly recommend him.

Rob has a lot of patience :)
We started our journey of looking for a home a year ago. it took us 7 months to find one we could agree on. Our situation was a little different; my parents were giving us the downpayment (part investors int he home) and so he had to deal with 4 opinions. He worked extra hard to make sure we understood the pros and cons of every home, area of town, and price point. He has so much knowledge of the area and the market.
He was able to help us (much like a therapist) figure out what was most important to us. We did find the perfect home for us. We put in an offer below the asking price, but we really couldn’t afford to stretch much more than that. With negotiations from Rob and a heartfelt letter, they accepted the offer. He helped us through the inspections and escrow process… and it was such a smooth, non-​stressful experience. We are so grateful for his help and expertise.
