Despite some health and life obligation issues on both sides making for a bumpy start, with persistence, patience and effort we were back on track and the whole thing came together, we closed escrow and are now preparing to fix the place up so we can move into it. I like that my agent is a fighter like myself and it was a refreshing to see someone who can step up against the other side and in the process manage what can potentially become a problem.

Comments: “Bob is great. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and a great advocate for my needs. He actually listens to your needs/concerns and takes them into account, which is something that is sadly not done as often as I’d wish. I’ve used him for two homes and will use him to manage our rental, as well. We also recommended him to a friend and, after trying both Bob and multiple other realtors, they went back to Bob and used him for their home purchase.”
And, his fees are the lowest – we saved over $20,000 compared to full rate brokers!”

I would definitely recommend Bob for all real estate needs. He was knowledgeable about the area and I felt that he was generally concerned about my needs and concerns. The sale of my condo went smoothly because Bob took care of all the details which I really appreciated. If you need a real estate agent in the Marina del Rey area I would highly recommend Bob as your first choice.

Comments from anjrucohen: “I’m biased as I’ve known Bob for maybe 25 years. That being said, he was really conscientious every step of the way. No hiccups that’d be attributable to him or any of his people, though my place took what seemed to me like a long time to sell.”

Comments: “He is honest, fast, efficient, is excellent in communication, not just with the sellers, but with the buyers, also. He is fully transparent and keeps everyone concerned up to date on the status of the transaction and document status. As a former realtor, myself, I would say that he is not just a good agent, but a GREAT agent. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to hire an agent in the Marina del Rey area.”

“Bob is super knowledgeable and plugged into the Marina Del Rey community. Definitely someone worth chatting with if you’re thinking about the Marina. He helped me find this property shortly before it went to market and also with selling it at an all time high comp relative to other units with the same square footage.”

Comments: “I would rate Bob a 10 but then there would be no room for improvement. My property was handled efficiently and buyer identified quickly. The whole process of hiring Bob until close of escrow took 60 days. Also, he saved us, I believe, 3% sale commission.”

– We were first introduced to Bob and Cheryl Herrera when we purchased our townhome in the Villas. They represented the seller and thereafter we got to know Bob and Cheryl through various functions and were impressed by their commitment to the community.
– When it came time for us to sell our unit, we interviewed several brokers, including the one who represented us in our previous purchase. We chose Bob and Cheryl because of their superior knowledge of the area, the local real estate market, their commitment to service and fact that they are able to save the homeowner money throughout the transaction. Their method, efficiency and commitment to service clearly make them the “go to” realtors in Marina del Rey.

We have been using Bob and Cheryl for many years to lease our condo in the Marina and, once again, they came through with flying colors to find us perfect and qualified tenants. Bob and Cheryl and their very professional staff go the extra mile to do whatever needs to be done to make everything work smoothly. Cheryl always has effective staging ideas and Bob even climbed a wall to make sure our sign was perfect! We have used them many times over the years and we will continue to recommend them to all our friends.

“I have nothing but praise for the way the whole process went with Bob & Cheryl as my agents – start to finish. The house was sold quickly at above the asking price and the whole transaction was done professionally. All of my questions were always addressed quickly. It was a very good experience and I would recommend Bob & Cheryl to anyone looking for a real estate agent.”
Sincerely,

Bob and Cheryl are highly professional realtors who always go over and above the call of duty to make sure your experience, whether it’s a listing, a purchase or a lease, is perfect.
Beth B. from Venice-West Ballona
Bob is extremely knowledgeable about history and current landscape of realty in the Marina del Rey area. He effectively helped us negotiate with the sellers to arrive at mutually agreeable terms given the age and condition of the home. His team was also great at helping us navigate through a couple of unexpected pitfalls during escrow. As first-time home-buyers, we were fortunate to have Bob by our side!

Bob and Cheryl are the best knowledgeable real state agents in the Marina area. I know cause they have ‘Bought and Sold’ for me for the past 24 years. The rest of the Crew are great as well. They all have the INTEREST of their Clients FIRST. Thanks guys for all the BEST DEALS you have handled for me. Love you guys!

Hi Bob,
Thanks again to you, Cheryl, Connie and Paula (and the rest of the team) for everything : – )
I chose the services of Bob and Cheryl Herrera of Professional Real Estate Services upon the recommendation of my mother and I couldn’t be happier. Bob, Cheryl and their entire team are top-notch professionals. They know their sales area in and out and have seen and have experienced it all. Also of great importance is that they are skilled at dealing with the various HOAs in the Villa Marina area and surrounding MDR community. But beyond their expertise in real estate matters, it’s their personal attention, care, warmness and humor that sets them apart from the competition. I felt like a member of the family was helping me to sell, not some just some random stranger…Calls, emails, texts were always returned in a timely matter; and no question was too dumb or went unanswered. And talk about hard-working, I even caught Bob working on his supposed day off upon several occasions!
We successfully completed the sale of a townhouse in Marina del Rey for top dollar and in a very short period of time. I am happy, the buyers are happy, the sun is shining. What more do you need? You will not go wrong by enlisting the services of this very fine real estate team.

Hi Bob,
I cannot believe we are there! Been a long road and I truly appreciate all your help and the help of the totally professionalism of your peeps, including Paula, Delinda and Connie.
Wow! you are very fortunate to have such a terrific team. Oh and also I am grateful for the help of that ‘eye candy’ Armando. He’s darling.

REDFIN Review: June 8, 2017
Bob & Cheryl Herrera of Pres Realty have shown themselves to be true professionals in every sense of the word and we were very impressed with their follow thru and commitment to getting the job done. As sellers, communication skills from the agent is a crucial part of the relationship that must be made and even the most mundane of questions we had got answered in a timely and patient manner. Now that they have sold our condo, we miss the interaction and relationship that we had with Bob & Cheryl as we became good friends with them and learned to value their judgement on many different matters.
We cannot recommend Bob & Cheryl highly enough.

Bob,
Thank you all for your exceptional support, expertise and services provided throughout this process!!! Nothing comes to mind with respect to constructive criticism other than BRAVO to you all.
Wishing you all the very best. Again, thank you for all of your efforts. It was a tremendous pleasure working with you all.
Alicia Cordova
Thank you both!!!
It was a seamless short sale experience working with the two of you.
Thank you for your professionalism and expertise in getting my house sold and paperwork complete in such a short time frame.
I will definitely pass your information along when I hear of anyone in need of assistance with their home.
Many thanks,
Joanne
Saved $14,490, Brian McKeany
Without Bob and Cheryl, not only would I have not been able to sell my home, I probably would not have been able to keep my sanity – but I’ll get to that shortly. They are truly a dream team when it comes to selling your home: Cheryl focusing on the preparation, promotion and advertising, and Bob specializing on the offer, negotiation and closing. Not only do they do their jobs extraordinarily well, but in some cases, like mine, they go above and beyond the call of duty. Let’s just say that I encountered one of those extreme situations where the buyer, the buyer’s agent, and their broker did everything in their power to make the sale of this home a complete nightmare. If Bob and Cheryl had not stayed on top of the situation and taken all of the out-of-the-ordinary steps to safe-guard and protect my interests, all the while dealing with some of the most outrageous and unethical behavior that most writers in Hollywood couldn’t dream up, two things would now be certain: I would not have sold my home, and I’d probably be a in a mental institution. Bob and Cheryl, my family and I thank you!
Best wishes,
Brian
Saved $12,400, Mrs. Sandy Potash
Dear Bob, Cheryl and Hector,
Your extraordinary services and efforts were remarkable! I was delighted when you brought me a buyer within one month from the date of listing. I was also pleased that not only did you save me additional costs in maintaining a vacant house but also your innovative program in your listing agreement of 4%-2%-1% on commissions saved me $12,400. Your commission was only $6200 rather than $18,400! which would have been the fee for other brokers to market my property.
Thanks!!!
Saved approx. $ 3000, Mr. John Stone Jr.
Please extend my thanks and congratulations to the entire PRES team on a job well done. By any measure listing my house with PRES has been an unqualified success. While I saved the tidy some of nearly $3000 in commissions, I received service that was second to none!!

Dear Bob,
Now that the dust has settled, I am writing to inform you that I truly appreciate all the hard work you, Cheryl and Hector did to not only sell my family home, but also finding me a great income property and giving me a free loan that saved me $3000!!!
We lived in this house for 25 years and your team managed to find a buyer in less than two weeks, we saved $7560 !!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Attn: Bob Herrera
We want to thank you for your efficient and professional service during the sale of our condominium. We interviewed four realtors before deciding on your service. We were not only intrigued by your 4%-2%-1% commission scale, but were also impressed by your experience in the market and your “relaxed” selling style. I would recommend your service(and have) to anyone planning to sell or purchase property.
Saves $12,000 over 5 years!! Laura Sable
Dear Bob,
I should have written this letter 5 years ago when you first helped me not only on the purchase of my home but with the loan as well. I remember this transaction to well because the seller was so challenging. I can’t believe that two agents canceled their agreement with her. I was impressed by your negotiation skills, which allowed me to receive an accepted offer and close the deal. Since then you have successfully shopped and gotten me three additional loans with a savings of over 35% with great terms.
Respectfully,
Laura
Saves Thousands, Mike Powers
Dear Bob,
I am glad I chose you as my realtor. I decided to have you represent me because you were highly recommended and I had heard about how much money you save your clients with your 4%-2%-1% listing agreement. Boy were they right! Your 4%-2%-1% listing plan really saved me a lot of money. You and Cheryl really made me feel like I was your most important client. You can rest assured that I will recommend you to my clients and friends!
Sincerely,
Mike Powers
Saves over $3000, George Adler
To whom it may concern: I have purchased and sold nine units in the MCC and have employed three different agents. On a unit that closed escrow today I decided to engage the services of PRES. My concern with their lack of familiarity with MCC unfounded. I found PRES to be accommodating, on time, considerate of my needs and problems and familiar with the intricacies of the MCC peculiarities. With their extensive advertising program my unit sold within two weeks. I will certainly use them in the future.
Respectfully,
George Adler
Saves $6500 in 3 days! John Fiebig
Your team at PRES did a great job! I can’t believe you sold my home in only 3 days and at full price!! Bob, you and your team are genuine people and you definitely know your business. You 4%-2%-1% plan saved me over $6500 that will help me with my moving cost, etc. Once again, thank you for your professionalism and kindness.
Sincerely,
John Fiebig
P.S. Please thank your team on my behalf!

Saves over $6000! Gail & Bruce Toien
Dear Cheryl and Bob Herrera,
I am writing to express my appreciation for everything you and Bob did to successfully sell our home. The time and effort that Bruce and I put into interviewing listing agents and the companies they represented definitely paid off. We are both very happy we decided to have you two and PRES represent s. It is beyond my comprehension why anyone would sell their home with agents and brokers that charge a 6% commission. As for us, we are grateful that we saved over $6000. Your 4-2-1 % is remarkable!!
Sincerely tour clients,
Gail and Bruce Toien
Happy Buyer Saves on Loan! Dawn and Simone
Dear Cheryl and Bob,
It would be so easy to compare you-and favorably-to other real estate agents we’ve met; but it’s just not in good taste. We’d rather thank you instead: thank you for returning our calls; thank you for finding answers to our questions, for helping us make the right decisions, giving us advice when we asked for it, and always supporting our choices. We wish it upon all our friends to find you as their agents! Thanks again, and we look forward to seeing you.

Saves $3380, Lou Holguin
Dear Bob and Cheryl,
I have been meaning to write this letter of appreciation for a few weeks, yet I have not managed to find the time. I want to thank you both for always having the time to make me feel at ease with your customer service. After interviewing several agents I choose to have you represent me during the sale of my home because of the fact that you and your team have extensive experience in every facet of real estate and also because of your 4-2-1% selling agreement. I will definitely refer PRES to all my friends and family Once again thank you for quickly selling my home and saving me thousands of dollars.
Best regards,
Mr. Lou Holguin
Great Loan!! Claudia Kadota
Hi Bob,
Thank you very much for getting me my new loan. Your thoughtfulness meant so much. I’m very happy with your services and appreciate all the good work you did on my behalf. I will gladly recommend you to others. I plan to refinance my loan with you and look forward to working with you on other loans as well. I’m very happy with my new home! Thanks for all of your help.
Bob is the best. He’s accessible, honest, helpful, knowledgeable…very experienced.
