Ash Hammad – First Trust Real Estate

The desire to get out of our downtown apartment and into a house came overnight for us. We saw a cute little place on Redfin that seemed like it would be perfect for our two small boys. Next to the home was a picture of Ash, so we contacted him and made an appointment. We immediately built a strong rapport with him, and now, three months later, we are excited homeowners, ready to write the strongest review we can for this extremely helpful, patient, and personable agent.
* Ash helped us navigate through offers on 3 different houses.
* He is persistent without being pushy.
* He is extremely well connected with other reputable professionals in the field, which helped us every step of the way with our loan, inspection, and closing paperwork.
* He has a great, knowledgeable partner that acted as our notary.
* He was very transparent about his communication and progress with other agents.
* He worked around our busy schedules, full time jobs, and two small children.
* He was always available to meet, talk, text or email.
* He hung out with us in person after open houses and inspections and really talked through all of our concerns, helping us weigh the pros and cons we were facing.
* He clearly has a lot of experience to draw upon and was able to offer relevant anecdotes to help us think about the decisions we had to make.
* In the end, the very best part was that when we finally found the right house, he was as excited as we were.
We highly recommend Ash Hammad.

Update:
Ash also helped a few years back with short sale, and incredibly patient walking us through what was then a difficult process.
I continue to work with him and seek his counsel anytime I have real estate related questions. He is the best and a trustworthy person you can depend on when making one of life’s bigger decisions.

My wife and I still think back with gratitude to the time Ash was our agent in our first home buying experience. He was so personable, professional, and patient when addressing our needs, whether it was looking at listings or explaining home buying concepts. We could really trust that Ash was an advocate for our best interest during the negotiations with the seller. We gladly endorse Ash Hammad and give him our highest recommendation.

I can’t say enough about Ash. He’s honest, professional and knows his business. He helped us sell a home, buy a home and refi on our current home. I often ask him real estate questions that have nothing to do with him and he always responds quickly. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, call Ash.

Ash is not only any amazing real estate agent, but he’s also a quality individual. He’s honest, responsive, caring, patient and always willing to go the extra mile in making his customers happy. We purchased in Orange County, and though Ash was located in Pasadena, he always made himself available in person or by phone anytime. He’s a very savvy negotiator when it comes to dollars and cents. He will get you the best deal whether you sell or buy. I studied the local market for 2 years before I bought, and Ash was still able to shed light on so many other things I never accounted for. I give him 5+ stars and recommend him to anyone out there looking for a terrific agent. I will be using him again. Thank you Ash!

My husband and I are thoroughly pleased with every aspect of Ash’s service; working with him was a breeze! We interviewed several real estate agents before settling on Ash and we saw the difference right away. Ash is honest and not pushy at all. This was our first home purchase and Ash was super patient & answered all of our questions every step of the way. We purchased in an area relatively far from his office but he was always prompt and wiling to drive out whenever we requested– I’ve was also quite educated on our local market! Ash is an excellent negotiator and helped us gauge what offer would be the best to submit. Ash also helped our friends purchase their home and they got a killer deal on an amazing home, thanks to Ash’s negotiating. Rest assured, he will not disappoint! Excellent service– excellent choice in an agent.
