Hirano Homes Group | Keller Williams South Bay

I contacted Derek from a previous sale I saw online in my area and listen, he was absolutely amazing! From the beginning to the end I was very impressed with all of his services. If you are looking for an agent to sell your home hes the man, I promise! Five Stars Plus.

Derek was wonderful from the beginning until the sale was finalized. I actually contacted Derek. He was not one of the many realtors that reached out to me after seeing my brothers probate case. My brother passed away in California and where I live in Ohio, Derek made this process extremely accommodating. With the many questions that I had he was always very quick and kind to answer. I feel like Derek was a friend that I never met and I would highly recommend him. -Jodi S. From Ohio

I was referred to Derek's firm by a friend, and I could not have asked for a better team to work with - Derek and Mia were diligent, friendly, communicative, and always felt like they had my best interests in mind. As a first-time buyer I came into the process with a lot of uncertainty, but Mia did a great job of helping me to understand the home-buying process as a whole, and was always available to answer any questions and concerns that I had. During the offer and escrow processes, she kept me informed of the timeline and the forms to expect, and was always in communication with my lender and the other parties to keep everything moving smoothly. I greatly appreciated Derek and Mia's expertise and support throughout the whole process, and I definitely recommend them for anyone looking to buy or sell in the south bay!

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience working with Derek and Mia of Hirano Homes. My wife and I were able to find our forever home in La Mirada, and we couldn't have done it without Derek and Mia. I mean literally could not have done it. We had our offer accepted over other higher offers because Mia gave up her Sunday morning (on Super Bowl Sunday no less!) and drove out to an open house we liked to scope it out and chat with the selling agent. From the opening zoom consultation all the way through until we finally got the keys to our new place, Derek and Mia were there every step of the way to answer all of our questions and provide helpful information without ever being too pushy. They helped talk us through different scenarios and options for selling our current place and how that would impact our buying experience. When we went to open houses, Mia would come too (which one of the selling agents told us does not happen very often), and helped point out things we might not have noticed. When we were ready to put in offers, they would send us a report of comparable homes so that we knew the offer we were thinking of made sense. Once we opened escrow, they set up a timeline outlining all the key events and dates, from inspections to removal of contingencies to final walkthrough. All in all, Derek and Mia are so great to work with. They are both so friendly and personable while also bringing a great deal of knowledge and experience about all things real estate. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell!

My wife and I were referred to Derek by a friend who had worked with him to buy their home a handful of years back, and we are so glad we decided to work with him and Mia! As we started our search as prospective first-time homebuyers, Derek and Mia were really great out of the gate, answering our questions and helping us refine our own understanding of our needs and wants so that we could assess properties with focus and confidence throughout our search. We are somewhat indecisive people in general and it took us a bit to build up this skill, but Derek and Mia were consistently patient, communicative, and upfront with their perspective. Unsurprisingly, 2023 was not a great year to be searching for a home. But despite our search lasting over a year Derek and Mia stuck with us through it all with the same degree of care and enthusiasm as when we had first started. Anytime we made an offer, they were transparent with any concerns but always reaffirmed their support to help us do what we wanted to do. They struck a great balance here for us -- we didn't want to succumb to paying more for any property than we thought it was worth (despite so many other buyers doing it) even if it meant being on the hunt for longer, and it was great that we never felt resistance or pressure to compromise on this goal. Escrow was also a breeze due to being prepped in advance regarding forms to expect and timelines to follow. They were very organized and it made things flow as smoothly as we could've hoped leading up to closing. Long story short: these two are great at what they do, they know the South Bay really well, and they are great folks who I am so glad were a part of this milestone in our lives. Looking forward to next time!
