Investor / 1031

"We recently worked with The Garibay Group on a series of 1031 exchanges. We worked closely with Shakir on finding and visiting single and multi-family properties and Luis and Kala did a great job of supporting Shakir and me through the many offers and our final purchases. Everyone at The Garibay Group was very responsive and professional and it was great working with them on these very deadline driven transactions."

"Luis helped my boyfriend and I purchase our first home, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the experience. At 22 and 24 years old, we had no idea where to start. After being brushed off by another realtor, a friend recommended Luis, and he immediately made us feel like our goals mattered. From day one, Luis took the time to get to know us, understand our situation, and connect us with trusted resources. We had only 60 days to decide whether to buy a home or renew our lease, and Luis confidently told us he would help us find the right house—and he did. Throughout the process, he was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and dedicated. Whether it was an evening showing or a late-night phone call, he was always there to answer questions and guide us through every step. He negotiated on our behalf, advocated for us, and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel manageable. As a young, unmarried couple with a modest budget, we sometimes felt overlooked, but Luis never judged us. He genuinely cared about helping us achieve our dream of homeownership. Thanks to him, we found the perfect starter home, and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Luis to anyone looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond. We will 100% use Luis again when we are ready to upgrade in the future!"

"Luis just helped with the purchase of our second home as well as selling our house. What should have been a stressful process was smooth sailing thanks to Luis’ professionalism and his ability to navigate the process with ease. Luis was always available and quick to answer questions. I will definitely use Luis again and highly recommend him. I would give him 10 stars if I could :)"

"I was referred to Luis Garibay by my brother and I am so glad I was. I had been looking for a home for a couple months. I did not have an actual Realtor because I could not seem to find one that could or would consistently help me find a home. Luis was the first to really listen to us. Find out exactly what kind of house I was looking for and where, and anytime a home came on the market that matched my criteria, made sure I knew about it immediately. Luis is also incredibly personable. On top of being exceptionally good at his job he felt like a friend after the first showing and certainly is a friend now. It took about 3-4 months with numerous showings. Luis worked hard for me and never gave up even when I almost did. I am happy to say I am in my first home now, thanks to Luis efforts and I'm very grateful. I love my new home. I always recommend Luis to anyone who wants a realtor who takes them seriously, cares that you, the client, gets exactly the home you are looking for rather than quickly trying to "sell" you for a commission and move on and will work hard to make sure that you not only find a house, but your home."

"Luis was so patient and always so positive during this whole home selling and buying experience. He helped me find my first home a few years ago. He was the person I immediately went to when I decided to sell that and find my new home. I had very specific needs and when it looked hopeless to me after a couple months, he dug in and helped me find the perfect one!"

"I wish I could give Luis more than 5 stars because he was nothing less than fantastic. This wasn’t our first home purchase, but in fact our third. Luis was recommended to us by a long time friend of his and I am so glad we chose him. We were relocating inland from the coast and we had a time frame to buy a house because our prior home sold in 5 days. Luis was patient, kind and understanding. He showed us homes on Sundays even though it wasn’t something he normally did because we came from over 3 hours away. He showed my husband and I well over 15 properties before we found our current home. Choosing the right realtor is key in and real estate transaction and Luis is the best. If I could have had him sell my previous home I would have. Luis will definitely be my first call when the time ever comes to buy another home. You won’t regret choosing him. He is truly amazing."

"Luis is so amazing to work with! Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor! He was SO helpful through the entire process, offered to do things above and beyond what his job title even is, and really knows his stuff! Thank you so much Luis for helping us sell our home! (We got a full price offer two days after it went on the market!!!)"

"My partner and I began looking into buying our first home because our family is growing! We felt pressed for time, but didn’t know where to start. Buying a first home can be very intimidating, but working with Luis Garibay made us feel very confident throughout the whole process. Luis is very professional and knowledgeable in what he does. He explained everything really well and answered all our questions, even ones we didn’t know we had! He’s a great listener and communicator! We appreciate how he has continued to check in on us even after purchasing the home. We are in love with our home and super happy with the decision we made! We highly recommend Luis with the Garibay Group to anyone who is looking to begin their home buying process."

"Luis Garibay was amazing at finding us our first home even when we were in a different state. He took time to answer questions even when he was on a family vacation. Luis also Face timed us for tours of houses. We will be using him again in the future."

"Luis was a great help in my experience as a first time buyer. He was prompt and available to help throughout the whole process, even traveling in from out of town several times to be present for the showing, inspection, and pre-closing walkthroughs at times that worked for my schedule. All my communications with him were clear and straightforward, and he was active about getting necessary contacts and information from the sellers and property management. As I was navigating the process with family members in another state, Luis was helpful in keeping us all updated and in the loop each step of the way!"

West Salem

"Luis Garibay did an outstanding job of helping my husband and I buy our first home. Our lease on our apartment was ending very shortly and he still managed to help us find our home with such short notice. He always made time for us and any of our questions and showed us a variety of houses. He also paid great attention to our reactions on each house and could instantly tell how we felt about each one. We ended up purchasing a beautiful home in West Salem and my kids could not be happier! He still stays in touch as well to see how everything is going for us. Thanks again for all that you do!"

"Looking for a realtor? Your search has ended here. Luis is the best I’ve ever dealt with. My wife and I were trying to juggle the sale of a home and purchase of a new construction property. I initially had anxieties about timing and making the dates work. Luis came in and laid out the plan and everything went exactly how he said it’d go. He negotiated with a home builder who was pretty difficult. He got us a good deal and great assurances. I could write a novel about my experience, but it’s easier to sum it up that he is the BEST around."

"We were very satisfied with Luis's handling of our home sale. Even with a very tough market with high interest rates he attracted a number of interested parties. He cautioned us on a prospective buyer who wanted a lower sale price and a number of pre-sale changes to the property. He dealt with the eventual buyer efficiently and kept us fully informed as the home sale process progressed. We would recommend Luis to any potential buyer in their search for a new home.

He got creative and resourceful to ensure everything went smooth. Luis is a man who is very dedicated to his profession and his clients. I cannot recommend him enough. I will never use another real estate agent. I promise, if someone works with Luis on buying or selling property, they will feel the same."
