Rick and his team really are second to none. When you are making such a big change In your life of course there are stresses and a level of anxiety but having someone like Rick in our corner made it as easy and seamless as possible. We knew from our first listing meeting that he would be our agent because he came and sat with us, took interest in our home and family goals and outlined a plan that he followed and successfully sold our home in record time and for the highest price in our neighborhood. I have a unique career and work lifestyle and he was able to work around it without making me feel uncomfortable at any time. I can’t say enough about the Rick Ojeda team, we are lucky to have them on our side!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Rick and his team are a class act. From the moment I chose Rick to sell my property, he hit the ground running and never looked back. Rick listens to your concerns and then acts on them immediately, he is always responsive, has incredible attention to detail, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. I can’t wait to do another transaction with Rick! I could not be more pleased. A big thank you!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
We had a very successful transaction with Rick and his team. In fact escrow closed today! He listed our property and had multiple offers well over over asking price in a couple of days. Amy Castillo was also a pleasure to work with and Superstar Scott Carmody is a rock star. I would highly recommend Rick and Pacific Union without hesitation. Thank you to all involved!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Rick, Amy & Scott did an amazing job selling our Mom's condo! Scott is a great negotiator and got us more than asking price! In addition, they helped with staging and every detail involved in this process. They were quick to respond to the many questions we had. I recommend them without reservation.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Rick and Amy did a nice job navigating the complicated process of selling our home and then assisting with finding a new one on the other end. We have used Rick for 4 transactions now (buying and selling) - that says something! Realtors are a dime a dozen (no offense intended) so when you find one that works - loyalty counts!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Rick Ojeda was precisely the real estate agent we needed. Ours was more than the ordinary purchase of X home on contingency of selling Y home. Making matters even more complex, Rick represented us as buyers and sellers--and he represented the people on the home we were buying. And, there were all sorts of contingencies, the details of which I will spare you. Rick sorted it all out, and he did so with utter and complete care, patience, transparency, and professionalism. I give him the highest possible marks, and not because we always agreed on everything but precisely because we did not. How he managed those moments when we wanted to do A and he suggested B served us better than we could have possibly hoped. The short of it is you absolutely cannot go wrong with Rick; he is a real estate agent par excellence and we recommend him highly and enthusiastically. Finally, his assistant, Amy Castillo, was simply superb. She made the process of selling one house and buying another--and all within 45 days--seamless.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
This has been our second time using Rick. We first used him when we moved out to Los Angeles and needed to purchase a home fairly quickly. Him and his team stopped at nothing to ensure that we found a home that suited all of our needs. We decided to move back to San Diego and didn't hesitate to reach out to Rick again to sell our home. Honestly, we would not have used anyone else. Rick reached out to us immediately and advised us on what was needed in order to get the best price possible. Our house went on the market the first week of January and we had an offer two days after it was listed over the asking price! Rick and his team are fantastic! Rick was also able to help us find a realtor in San Diego to help us purchase our new home. We would highly recommend Rick and will definitely send anyone his way who is looking buy or sell a home in Los Angeles.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
WOW!! is the only way to start our review of Rick Ojeda and Amy Castillo of Pacific Union International. Rick's can-do attitude without the typical salesman cockiness was refreshing and real. We interviewed several other agents about selling our house before we met with Rick and the difference was obvious from the outset. Rick came in with a strategy that cost us almost nothing, yet we sold the house for well over the asking price in just a few weeks, while the other agents told us the only way to sell our house would be by spending thousands on redecorating and staging just to get our asking price. Rick and Amy really listened to all of our concerns and provided an incredible level of communication and customized service through the entire process. Their thoroughness, friendliness, and professionalism are amazing! If you are looking for an agent to help you sell your house, look no further than Rick Ojeda and Amy Castillo. They’re the best!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I worked with Rick on the sale of my condo on the Wilshire Corridor. Rick had recently worked with several other people in my building and had gotten record sales prices. Rick was able to help set a price that made the unit move almost immediately (two weeks until we got two offers on our asking price). Rick and Amy from his team handled all the details, minimizing the work on my end. I would highly recommend Rick to others out there looking for a residential real estate broker.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
As a New Yorker, I relied heavily on Rick Ojeda and his team to assist me and my business partner living in Beijing with the purchase of our first California property. Rick’s assistance was invaluable. I needed someone who knew what my needs were and who could communicate and coordinate effectively so I could make knowledgeable decisions. I initially engaged another agent, but after speaking with Rick, I knew he was an expert and had the pulse of the market where I was looking to buy. I decided to go with Rick and his team and I am grateful that I did. We had a rocky escrow with a variety of challenges. Rick kept us engaged, informed and calm. He got the deal done to our satisfaction. What is even more impressive is we trusted him to have our best interests in mind while also representing the seller. It takes a special agent/person to manage and honor both sides of a deal so that a win/win situation is created. Thank you Rick! … [Read full reviews on Zillow]
There are not enough words of appreciation and accolades to describe our experience with Rick and his team. The whole team is extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable, responsive and committed, making sure all our needs were met. They were truly a pleasure to work with and they made what can be a very complicated and stressful process a whole lot easier. I have worked with many realtors before and now that I have found Rick and his amazing team, I will never use anyone else. His assistant, was especially meticulous regarding scheduling appointments with inspectors and other service professionals. She handled all the paperwork. She was always on top of everything. She always returned calls promptly and was an excellent resource for other services and vendors. She was truly incredible in all sense of the word. We highly recommend Rick and his team to anyone who desires a class act professional agency that gets the job done! … [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Like every pragmatic but still dreamy house hunter, we knew that having the best real estate agent is a must in order to be represented well in such a competitive market, especially in high end homes. Rick Ojeda’s team was the right choice. We just finalized the purchase of our dream home, and I could not emphasize the importance of Rick Ojeda's involvement in the success of our deal more. Every so often, stars line up to make one's life difficult, and in our case stars could not have been more perfect in making our transaction close to impossible. Rick was a champion in communicating with the seller's broker and creating a proper dialogue in resolving all the issues related to the site, house, our loan delays, and seller's personal timelines. My wife and I constantly talk about how much we owe our good fortune to finally own our dream home to Rick Ojeda.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Rick and his team did an exceptional job of selling my home. I have completed a number of real estate transactions in the past and this one was by far the easiest. Rick provided exceptional service. He immediately responded to all of my emails, texts and phone messages. Any item that arose was handled immediately and with the utmost of professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend Rick to my friends and family. He is a class act!!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I would like to offer my gratitude and appreciation for my team headed by Rick Ojeda. I felt confidant from our introduction to the conclusion of the sale of our Encino home. It sold after a week on the market above the asking price! Everyone knew the process intimately from the staging of the property, the inspections, the negotiations, to the prompt closure of escrow. The process was flawless. In addition, they exceeded my expectations by helping me find a wonderful condominium in Santa Monica. Each member of the team is a professional in the broadest definition of the word. They are really good guys! I like them. I trust them. I will definitely use they for my next home purchase. I offer my enthusiastic endorsement of my team from Partner’s Trust without hesitation.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
In selling my house, Rick was flexible and professional. He worked well in partnership with a local realtor, he was accurate in his assessment of the asking price, he assured that my home was beautifully photographed and presented online, and he was crystal clear in his presentations of the required documents. Furthermore, he was personable and enjoyable. In supporting me in the purchase of my new home, Rick’s approach in making an offer, both in valuation and timing, was excellent. He held closely with me during a somewhat extended and tense negotiation, and his final strategy for bringing in the purchase was a stroke of genius. His delight at my success in obtaining the home I desired was genuine and heartwarming, bringing a wonderful touch to the closing of our work. And his final gesture - all paperwork on a computer disc - was truly welcome!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I had the pleasure of working with Rick Ojeda twice. The first time was to purchase a condominium and the second time was to sell my family home. Both experiences were terrific. As a buyer Rick showed me many, many different properties, had my best interest at heart and actually saved me money!! As a seller Rick knew exactly how to market my home and how to manage the multiple offers I received the first week. Rick handled EVERYTHING professionally, personally and with ease…there are no hassles. For me as a busy professional and mom the service and convenience are five-star!!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
When we wanted to sell our home, we had to choose from among several agents we knew and respected, so it was a tough decision. We are far more than satisfied with having chosen Rick Ojeda. From start to finish Rick was extremely professional, doing his homework and advising us from a solid foundation of knowledge and experience. And he consistently demonstrated integrity as well as caring. He made listening to us as important as informing and guiding us and we always felt heard when we expressed concerns. Rick truly made the process easy for us. One of the things that I personally very much appreciated was Rick’s calm, even in the face of unusual challenges — and there were several in our transaction. While things mostly went very smoothly, a hitch came up two days before escrow was supposed to close and I came close to melting down. In the midst of the issue, Rick very calmly made suggestions and provided potential solutions that helped me get back into balance so we could get everything resolved and proceed. Rick was always prompt and responsive to our questions, and was knowledgeable about most things we wanted information on. But, just as importantly, he did not hesitate to point us to others if we asked something he was not expert in. Rick was always on the spot when he was needed and took us from listing to closing in just under 30 days. I would enthusiastically recommend Rick and his team to anyone considering selling a house. … [Read full reviews on Zillow]
