About Tonia Arey

I'm originally from NYC and at a fairly young age my family moved to Sherman Oaks and eventually settled in Agoura Hills.  During my high school years I found a passion for the ocean mostly below sea level and obtained my certification in SCUBA on Catalina Island. I pursued this passion as I moved to Santa Barbara for my first two years of college at SBCC and when I wasn't in class I was once again, below sea level.  From there I transferred to SFSU and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology while also living at Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe.  After college I settled into a career in the field of Kinesiology and although rewarding I also found it to be too repetitive and was looking for a career that offered exciting changes just like the change of a swell in the ocean and when the wind changes and brings in a snowstorm and I found that excitement in real estate.  From my experience in Kinesiology working with a diverse population with cultural differences, I've learned how to present myself to an ever changing demographic that one finds daily in real estate and nearly eight years later I welcome the challenges on a daily basis and wouldn't want to be doing anything else!

Tonia was essential in finding and securing my home. In today’s voracious market where homes are listed and sold in days, Tonia is always engaged and available. She can help craft and deliver offers at a moment’s notice and is precise, diligent and thorough when delivering those offers. Whether you are a novice or a pro she is quick to match speed staying professional and personable throughout. She dealt with my numerous questions with patient kindness. Walking me through the basics of offers and inspections she was courteous, knowledgeable and realistic, tailoring advice to my specific situation. And my loan officer went out of his way to compliment Tonia’s professionalism. Do yourself a favor and work with Tonia when finding your next home.

I had been working with Tonia for over a year looking in the Woodland Hills/Calabasas area, over that time Tonia demonstrated phenomenal local knowledge, a great deal of patience and a keen, determined desire to get the right home at the right price with the right contingencies to suit the age & condition of the property. She responds to messages and calls instantly, writes great offers quickly and efficiently and provided an all around great purchasing experience. If you are looking for someone to find the best property to suit your needs, within your budget in the Woodland Hills, Calabasas, Santa Monica Mountains area then I can’t recommend Tonia highly enough.

Amazing lady! In all phases of 2 transactions ( sell residence, buy residence) Tonia was on top of everything. The buy of the next house had difficulty with the other agent. Tonia was persistent in getting what we needed including a close on time with a somewhat uncooperative seller. I highly recommend Tonia as either listing agent or buyer's agent. She has the utmost integrity.

Tonia is my new 'go to agent'! I called off Tonia's sign on this listing and wasn't committed to any agent so I did some Q&A with her to see if I felt comfortable with her representing me along with the seller. My questions were challenging and I had a lot of concerns due to the state of the home and what sold me on Tonia was that she listened and was honest. If she couldn't answer a question she told me that and said she would do some research and she would always call me back in a very short time frame. Everytime that I called Tonia she answered and I called her a lot. She never left me hanging and she performed this way during the entire 45 day escrow. Tonia made me feel like I was King and I never felt that she was taking advantage of the seller or myself. When it was time to do the request for repairs and to negotiate other aspects of the sale Tonia would always say that she has to consider the best outcome for each side and she never revealed her sellers stance so I know she did the same for me. I've dealt with a lot of agents but none of them compare to Tonia- Tonia is an outstanding agent in every aspect of a real estate transaction.

We have had the opportunity to work with Tonia twice in the past two years. When looking for our home in West Hills in 2016, Tonia always made herself available to take us to the dozens of homes we wanted to see. Once we found a house and went into escrow, she helped guide us through the process, and was very knowledgable and patient with all the questions and concerns we had. A year and a half later, we called Tonia again to help us sell the house, as we needed to move out of state for job relocation. She moved quickly to help us get it on the market, and facilitated the entire sale process. Since we had already moved out of state, Tonia was always there to make sure the sale went smoothly, coordinating multiple open houses and showings. Once we went into escrow she coordinated with the buyer for all inspections, appraisals, contractors, and anything else that needed to be attended to. It took a lot of stress off of us knowing that Tonia was there when we couldn't be, to take care of everything. Tonia was amazing to work with, and we highly recommend working with her.
