Philip Nastasi

Bruce and Trudy Epstein Letter of Recommendation -- Oct 2014 October 25, 2013Dear Phil,As I sit here this evening, exhausted from lining all of the kitchen and bathroom shelves of my new home, I am reminded that we have in fact found just the perfect home, thanks to you. I figure that this is so, that it is the perfect home, because it only took us two years to find this house, the one that fits our needs, and we are thankful to you for having stuck by us and guided us the entire time.Before meeting you, we met a number of real estate agents at their open houses but Philip you were the only one that promised to call us and then actually did so. Your follow-up was immediate and professional and you tirelessly maintained that level of commitment the entire two years. Most of all, Philip, you helped us keep on a steady course the entire time. When we got frustrated that we hadnt found our home after so much time, you were reassuring and skillfully steered us around the pitfalls of settling for a home that really didnt meet our needs. In the middle of a turbulent real estate market, one that garnered multiple offers on every home, many of them cash offers that we could not compete with; you kept us moving forward without regrets of the homes that passed us by.What is amazing to me is that youre so knowledgeable and you work with the utmost integrity and honesty, not to mention energy.lots of energy! You cautioned us about streets that were too noisy or busy, houses that would require a lot more time, energy, and money to repair, which in the end has saved us money. You exemplify all that is positive about being a professional real estate agent while keeping your clients best interest at the forefront, and for that we thank you so very much.I offer my heartfelt thanks and highest regards to you. So please, continue to answer your phone with Hello, this is Phil with Rodeo, as I will never again answer back, Hello, this is me without a house!Best,Trudy Z. Epstein, OTR/L, HPCS

Jon and Jina Payne Recommendation Letter -- Oct 2014Dear Phil,Thank you for your tireless effort in helping us realize the dream of home ownership. We had nearly given up after unsuccessfully searching for two years for our first house. Normally we would not have considered using the sellers agent but after speaking with you at the open house and the forthright manner in which you interacted with us, we had confidence you would work as hard for us as you did the seller. You proved our faith was justified by making the deal happen and by going above and beyond to make sure our questions were answered and our needs were met.. We appreciate you and all you have done on our behalf. We would have no hesitation in recommending your services to our friends and family, which is truly the mark of satisfaction.With gratitude,Jina and Jon Payne

We have now moved more times than we care to mention, and have worked with numerousrealtors along the way, which I believe makes us an expert on realtors, and which ones to work with.Having you as our realtor, made the moving experience enjoyable, and quite frankly easy.We have never had the privilege of having a realtor take on as many task as you did during the sale ofour home. The web site was outstanding and we sent it to all our friends, the brochures were top notch,with quality pictures, and a personal touch on the description of our home is what made it stand outfrom the rest of the home for sale in our area.The real proof of your expertise was in how quickly you found the perfect buyer for our home. Evenwhen the inspection and appraisal didnt go our way, you stepped in, and up, and made what could havebeen a deal breaker, result in a sale. The surprise too many, was how quickly this took place (less thanone month), we cant thank you enough, it made the move back to Florida that much easier.Not only were you our realtor you became a very close friend. We would strongly recommend you toanyone selling a home. You are a true professional, and a man of integrity, your word is what you standbehind, and I might say deliver upon.Thank you for everything,John M Bailey &Michael L Angell

Siciliano Letter of Recommendation- 9361 Balcom Ave -- Aug 2016July 15, 2016It is not often that you find a true professional like Phil Nastasi, not only is he an expert in the real estate market, he is personable, responsible and thorough. His marketing methods are phenomenal and he sold our house in just a couple of weeks. He had a keen eye for staging both the inside and outside of our home which was instrumental in the quick sale. He was careful in screening potential buyers to make sure the deal would go through. Phil made himself available at all times making an emotional process smooth and palatable. There are a lot of realtors servicing the San Fernando Valley, but in our opinion Phil stands head and shoulders above the rest. If youre looking for a realtor whos going to represent you every minute throughout the process, youve hit the jackpot with Phil Nastasi!!Sandy and Jerry Siciliano

Michelle and Cornel Carasimu Yelp Review for Philip Nastasi -- Oct 2017Review for Philip Nastasi Just the Perfect Home at Rodeo RealtyMichelle and Cornel C.5.0 star rating10/16/2017Yelp ReviewMy husband met Philip Nastasi at an Open House in our neighborhood. At that time, we had our house listed for sale with a different realtor. A few months had past and our house hadnt sold and we decided to give it another try with Philip. What a great experience! We worked with 2 realtors before, but none of them compare to Philips professionalism and dedication. He came to our house and presented us with his action plan and great marketing tools. He hired a professional photographer and also made a virtual tour for our property! He hosted a open house for agents before opening it up to the public and was present at every open house he hosted for our property, informing those who stopped by about the improvements weve made throughout and the highlights of the property. He was always happy to answer any questions we had regarding all the contracts and always made himself available to us. Every time I texted him, Philip always answered back within minutes! Even though he was representing other clients aside from us, we always felt like we were his only clients considering all the support he gave us. At closing, he left us with a specially made CD with pictures of our property as a keepsake. All I can say, Philip is the best agent we have worked with and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an agent. Thank you, Philip!

Barbara P A Yelp Review For Philip Nastasi -- Dec 2017Review for Philip Nastasi Just the Perfect Home at Rodeo RealtyBarbara P.5.0 Star Rating Yelp ReviewNovember 28, 2017I first formally met Philip Nastasi in October of last year. But my husband Larry had many conversations with him before then. Our house was on Encino and when the door was open in my hubbys Man Cave (the garage), Phil would stop by and just visit and chat with him.Last fall Larry & I had started to discuss the market changing and moving somewhere else smaller, and to be honest cheaper than California, since we were both on a fixed income. We had lived in Northridge since 1995 and our home was great as our kids were growing up and then having kids of their own, but eventually we realized we were not using half of the house anymore. Kids and grandkids had grown up and we needed a smaller home just for us and our fur babies.Larry talked to me about Phil stopping by a few times throughout the years and he had said when the time comes, he would like to consider Phil as our realtor. He explained he felt he was very ethical, knowledgeable, not pushy, and just a very down to earth guy. So, in October of 2016 we had a sit down with Phil and I liked him immediately. He was very thorough, answered every question we had (and we had a lot), especially since we already had a terrible experience with a realtor several years ago. We both felt comfortable and we advised Phil we would readdress this in the beginning of the year.Phil kept in touch with Larry just to catch up and visit. I proceeded to travel to Florida where our daughter lived and where we had agreed we would plan to focus on homes and to make our new journey in life.We had decided at the beginning of 2017 to consider making our listing official. We talked to Phil several times in between tried to get things ready before listing officially. He was there every step of the way. Unfortunately, as things progressed my husband started to show signs of severe illness. So, I postponed listing our home to focus on Larry. Unfortunately, Larry passed away in April. After dealing with this, I contacted Phil to let him know I indeed was ready to list our home for sale. He came over immediately and was very consoling and held my hand all the way. There were several things that needed to be completed in the house to pass inspection, outside electrical issues, repainting, completing garage, finding estate sale referrals, updating smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, termite inspection and repairs. And the list goes on Phil connected me with terrific and reasonable licensed contractors to help me get these repairs done. He also picked up the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and installed them himself!He continued to follow up daily on how progress was, and what else to do. He listed quickly, and I even met his wonderful wife, Anne who is just as terrific as Phil is. The end result was because of this man helping me to stay focused during the most difficult time in my life, my house sold, and I also have two terrific new friends.Philip Nastasi Jr. is not just a real estate agent, he goes over and above to ensure everything is completed and he walks through every inspection, including during appraisal. If you are ever looking for someone who goes above and beyond to make selling your home easier, I highly recommend Phil. There is no one out there in Southern California better! Thank you, Phil

Zillow Review from Julia and Barr P -- Jan 2019 Highly likely to recommend -Zillow Review01/02/2019 jmcilhennypSold a Single-Family home in 2018 in Northridge,CA. Local knowledge: Process expertise: Responsiveness: Negotiation skills:It is my pleasure to provide a letter of recommendation for Philip A. Nastasi, Jr., REALTOR with Rodeo Realty Inc. Philip represented my husband and me in the sale of our home in Northridge, a sale that closed escrow in September 2018. When we moved to Northridge almost 12 years ago, we became of aware of Philip as a very busy and well-known real estate agent in our area. When the time came for us to sell our home, we immediately knew that Philip was the best choice. His years of experience and neighborhood expertise made the selection easy. We were not disappointed. At our first meeting with him to discuss pricing and marketing, we were impressed. His advice to prepare the house, his robust marketing strategies, and his energetic commitment to sell the house were exceptional. He delivered on that commitment. When we opened escrow, his customer service skills were especially appreciated as he advised us and navigated some unexpected bumps. Philip Nastasi is an excellent real estate agent who made the home selling experience a positive one for us.
