What clients say

My home didn't sell the first time

We had already been on the market with another agent and our home did not sell. Once Ray showed us his written marketing plan and exactly how he planned to create demand before the property even went live, that concern disappeared. We listed with Ray and the home sold.

Previously my mom tried to sell her home and the realtors had the house listed for 120 days and no results. With Ray, the house was listed and sold within 45 days. He had a plan and he worked it every single day.
— Dan Ledesma
Our first agent put the home on the MLS and waited. Ray did the opposite — he called us every week with feedback and had buyers through the door in days. We closed within the 88-day window he promised.

Sold in Whittier

Ray knows Whittier. He priced our home for the neighborhood it was actually in, not a wish, and we had an offer in three weeks. Honest, responsive, and straight with us the whole way.

From the other side of the table

I referred a client to Ray and he treated them like family. Kept me in the loop from the first call through closing and paid my referral fee on time. That's how referrals should work.
— Patricia Carrillo
As an agent, I only refer to people I trust to protect my client. Ray is on that short list. He communicates, he closes, and he does what he says.

As a professional real estate appraiser, I’ve had the opportunity to review and analyze countless agents’ pricing strategies and valuation approaches. It’s rare to come across someone like Ray Fernández-Silva.
What truly stands out is his deep understanding of property valuation—despite not being an appraiser himself. Ray consistently demonstrates an impressive ability to price homes accurately based on true market conditions, not guesswork. His listings are strategically positioned with solid data, and more importantly, they perform.
I’ve personally observed how his recommended list prices translate into successful sales, and how the offers he prepares are not only competitive but well-supported with detailed market analysis. That level of preparation and precision is exactly what leads to accepted offers and smooth transactions.
Ray approaches every listing and every offer with a level of research, discipline, and market knowledge that aligns closely with professional appraisal standards. His ability to interpret market data across Los Angeles County, Orange County, and Riverside County is truly impressive.
If you’re looking for a real estate professional who understands value at a high level and backs every recommendation with data and strategy, Ray is someone I would highly recommend.

I had my property on the market 2437 Sierra Bella Drive in Corona, CA with two so-called “local expert” agents, but they couldn’t get my home sold. Then, I hired another agent who also struggled to make progress. Frustrated and exhausted, I finally got in touch with Ray Fernández-Silva, Mr. 88 Days—and that changed everything.
Ray came in, interviewed us, and gave us the precise strategies and negotiation tactics we needed. Despite not being from the neighborhood, he provided more insight than any other agent we had worked with. His approach to marketing, pricing, and negotiation was unlike anything we had seen before.
Thanks to Ray’s expertise, persistence, and guidance, we finally sold our home at the price we wanted—even after it had been sitting on the market for a ridiculous amount of time. Ray structured a counteroffer with the right terms, which ultimately led to an acceptance. Today, our property is sold, and we can finally move on with our lives.
Ray is a true professional who knows his numbers, his stats, and his craft inside and out. Whether he’s from the area or not doesn’t matter—he understands real estate, financing, and negotiation better than anyone we’ve met. If you’re thinking of selling or buying, don’t hesitate—call Ray!
Ray, we will forever be grateful for what you did for us and our family. Thanks to you, we can move forward in peace and leave this stressful chapter behind. Thank you, Ray!

We cannot stop singing our praises about Ray. My husband and I decided to apply for a mortgage to buy a house in the spur of a moment when we realized how expensive a new rental would be, so we went into the housing market completely unprepared and unaware for what house shopping would entail. We feel so fortunate that Ray was with us to guide us and take care of us—he even showed us what to pay attention to during open houses. As someone who is easily swept away with aesthetics, I always felt so secure because I knew that Ray was checking on floors, water pressure and the likes for us during house showings (it was like we could just focus on the fun stuff, and we also learned so much along the way). He is extremely resourceful when it comes to writing offers—he does not simply overbid, and always gave us sage financial advice. I will always appreciate how careful he was with our money and our investment, and he always made sure that we were submitting sensible offers that were likely to end successfully. Most importantly, he always made sure that we would be happy with the house we bought. We feel very lucky that several of our offers where accepted, and feel great that Ray always got so many responses from listing agents—he is extremely communicative, diligent, and proactive. I truly appreciate how much he followed up on all the offers we submitted; he was always gracefully patient, approachable, and responsive.
We bought our house with an FHA loan, and in the beginning of our journey, I had thought that we would have to settle for a starter home, but working with Ray has made me realize that it’s ultimately all about your realtor. He works hard to create a fast close if it’s what his clients want–he closed escrow in less than 3 weeks (such a boss) and got us repairs that we wouldn’t have even dreamed of asking for in this current market.
He is extremely professional and has great interpersonal skills that I feel truly facilitate transactions for his buyers.
Even after our move-in, he followed up to remind us about setting up our utilities. Ray truly takes care of his clients. Call him. He is going to make your dreams come true.

Working with Ray and his team has been an absolute pleasure! If you’re looking for a Southern California realtor who truly understands the Los Angeles and Orange County markets—especially those stunning coastal beach areas—Ray is your guy. His expertise in both buying and selling homes is matched only by his incredible negotiation skills and forward-thinking marketing strategies.
From the very first conversation, Ray’s customer service was exceptional—he took the time to understand our goals and provided clear, actionable advice every step of the way. He’s not just a real estate agent, he’s a trusted partner who makes the process enjoyable, stress-free, and, yes, even exciting!
If you want someone who will go above and beyond to get results while keeping the experience upbeat and professional, I can’t recommend Ray and his team highly enough. They’re simply the best in Southern California real estate!

Capable—Ray negotiated a selling price significantly more than we expected. He also negotiated a price less than the asking price on our new house.
Consistent—Ray and his team stayed in close communication with us throughout the process of selling our home and buying another, both in the city of Norwalk in Los Angeles County. He laid out a plan for us and kept us apprised of what was going to happen next.
Compassionate—Ray never hesitated in showing us as many homes as we wanted to see. He made us feel like we were his only clients. After we moved in, Ray and his team even catered a house warming party for our family and friends!
In all, we were very pleased with Ray and his team. He took the stress out of what could have been a very stressful process.

I recently sold my multi-unit apartment property in Mojave, Kern County with the outstanding help of Ray Fernández‑Silva. Ray expertly marketed the apartments and handled every step (pricing, open houses, & negotiations) making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Ray’s knowledge of the Mojave and Kern County real estate market shone through. He understood the unique appeal of owning apartments in this area, including factors like rental demand and investor interest. His guidance helped us secure a strong offer quickly.
From our first call to the closing day, Ray was proactive, communicative, and professional. He answered all my questions (sometimes late at night) and made sure I felt confident at every turn. Thanks to his dedication, we sold the property faster than expected and at a great price.
If you’re selling an apartment building or any property in the city of Mojave, Kern County, I highly recommend Ray Fernandez‑Silva. He’s truly “Mr 88 Days” for a reason!"

My wife and I were buying a house for the first time together and we searched on our own for months without finding anything that met the things we wanted for our increased family when our son was born. Then my wife remembered that Ray had previously help her buy her first home. It was an instant progress as Ray met us on the first day and showed us 3 houses on the first day. His professionalism and honesty and thorough approach to mirror our search to the homes that met our requirements and price range were the things that impressed me most about him. He showed genuine interest in making sure we got our dream home in the neighborhood we wanted. He was present throughout the process and provided exceptional service to us in following up and making sure the paperwork was processed as timely and accurately as possible. Even after we closed, Ray continued to ensure that we were happy with our choice and he kept in constant contact to offer any assistance we needed for all minor services we needed in our new home. Professional, friendly, punctual, thorough, very knowledgeable, articulate and absolutely personable are some of the things I’d say about him. Totally happy and satisfied with the service he provided us and continues to provide us as we settle into our new home. I’d highly recommend him to anyone that needs a realtor of Ray’s excellent service and professionalism.
Very happy client,
Sam Mballow & Veronica Urenda

Ray was patient (he showed us at least 13 houses), answered all our questions, and displayed tremendous knowledge of the selling and buying process. Ray never pressured us.
We sold our house at 22K over asking and transitioned into our new house very easily. We highly recommend Ray and his team to handle your real estate needs. You can trust Ray Fernandez!
