His professionalism was off the chart but he was also very personable. I didn’t feel like I had to be guarded expressing my likes and dislikes. If you need a realtor who is willing to g the extra mile do not hesitate to call him.

Mr. George Fotion is one of the best Real Estate Agents I have ever known. His knowledge of the market, his expertise in the area, his promptness, and willingness to help is all you need to make the purchase process simple. I’ve already recommended him to one of my good friends. When I am looking to buy again I will not hesitate to call him.

George Fotion is a great agent. He knows the southern California neighborhoods and the real estate dynamics exceptionally well. We were searching for homes in either the Long Beach or Palos Verdes area and he was extremely helpful in listening to our goals and narrowing the selections down to the perfect properties.

George was an absolute delight to work with. His deep understanding of the Rancho Palos Verdes area was unparalleled, providing us with invaluable insights about the local market and recommendations of great inspectors. On top of this, his infectious humor made the process not just informative, but also highly enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend him for anyone seeking a knowledgeable real estate experience in the south bay area.

George Fotion has been my go-to person for all of the buying, selling, and research I've done in the greater PV area. As a professional real estate investor, I can easily say there is no one more knowledgeable in this business than George. He brings an incredible amount of expertise, personal knowledge, and care and attention for his clients to each and every transaction he's involved in. Not to mention he has a fabulous sense of humor and ability to pinpoint exactly what you're looking for. Look no further than this man for any of your real estate needs. Thanks for everything George!!!

We've been working with George Fotion for over a year and, despite the housing market being an absolute fustercluck thanks to COVID, he has been with us every step of the way. George has a unique style for getting things done with his passionate gungho-ness and that was exactly the type of real estate agent we needed to navigate this temperamental housing market. Thanks to him and his hard work and steadfast dedication, we are now first time homeowners! Absolutely recommend George as the go-to guy if you're in the market to buy a house!

I am writing this review to communicate how amazing of a job George did for my parents in helping them sell their house in Rancho Palos Verdes. I researched a lot of brokers/agents for my parents, but what drew me to contact George was the significant number of reviews from people in the same situation as me-elderly parents that were selling their home on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Those reviews were glowing and after working with George I can definitely see why. From day one, George has been the knowledgeable, ethical professional my parents needed to help them with their sale. His deep history of living and working on the Palos Verdes Peninsula provides him with a depth of understanding of the local housing market I did not find in any of the multiple other agents/Brokers that I interviewed. In addition, his understanding of the broader economic trends, the psychology of buyers and sellers, and his ability to communicate this information in a way and everyday person can understand were huge plusses. I can’t say this enough, George’s communication skills are amazing-we always felt informed every step of the way, and he truly forms a partnership with his clients, ensuring they always feel heard. To top it off, his marketing strategy was amazing, producing a huge volume of showings and multiple offers to buy my parent’s property. This review wouldn’t be complete without talking about how great of a negotiator George is. Throughout this process George’s ability to negotiate with Agents and their buyers is something that really wowed my parents and I. To sum it up, from the day my parents signed their listing agreement to the day their escrow closed George had our best interests in heart and delivered amazing service. I would highly recommend George Fotion as a real estate broker for all your real estate needs.

George made this entire process so easy. As an assistant, helping with purchasing and selling a home is such a pain, and agents don't always make it simple for assistants to get their jobs done. George was incredibly responsive and made the process on both the selling and buying side as easy as it could have been. I could not recommend him more highly!!

My brothers and I have been involved in wheeling and dealing in real estate all our adult lives. We hardly ever use realtors, but we hired George to sell a house in Palos Verdes because none of us were around.

It turns out that George was the best realtor any of us have ever run into! And, his clients got the house because of his novel and very interesting way he wrote up the offer; it put them first among multiple bidders.

He is the only realtor that I would recommend to a friend!

When it comes time to select a real estate agent in the South Bay, George Fotion should be your first choice. Throughout the process George was friendly, knowledgeable, and hands-on, meeting with us when needed and openly communicating at each step. His ability to analyze the area housing “Comps” and strategize on how set the list price were spot-on. Together we determined that listing “as-is” was the best approach for this specific property. George provided terrific resources to handle property photography, property clean-out and even a moving crew. Having dealt with many agents on numerous properties in the past, integrity and responsiveness are key traits we look for . . . George possesses both of these. George’s efforts yielded multiple offers within a few days. Clearly the best real estate professional we have ever worked with.

Call Realty w George Fotion went above and beyond all expectations. We never met George in person but his quiet, unpretentious efficiency and professionalism was the reason we picked him, and boy are we glad we did!!! We took his advice, allowed him to strategize, and sold the house for 200K above the listing price in 2 days. George knows Palos Verdes, he knows the market, and he knows what he’s doing. Thankyou Call Realty and George Fotion for making everything so smooth and profitable.

George is a true professional who is passionate about his work. He has extensive knowledge of both real estate and the PV Peninsula. Always a pleasure to work with!

George represented us in the purchase of a home in Palos Verdes, and we highly recommend him. From our initial interaction through closing, he was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and trustworthy. He gave thoughtful, accurate, and timely responses to our many questions. The depth of his experience in the local market and skill as a realtor proved to be a tremendous value as we navigated a hot market with limited inventory. We never doubted his integrity—he steered us away from problematic properties and cautioned us against overbidding.

From talking to us on Christmas Day about making an offer to putting us in touch with vendors, George has consistently gone above and beyond for us as clients. His insight was invaluable in negotiating and ultimately making the right to decision for our family. You can’t go wrong with engaging George as your agent.

To my surprise, George was able to sell my house! My husband found George through recommendations and I reluctantly agreed to put our house on the market thinking it was never going to sell. He was able to sell our house without any open houses and we even stopped showing the inside after the first two weeks. He was able to make the process as non-intrusive as possible. He was very professional and kept us informed. The whole process was very easy and it speaks to his expertise and experience in the local real estate market. Thank you George for taking such great care of us.

We reached out to various agents in the South Bay (Palos Verdes) in our search for a home in the area. George was the most responsive, energetic and passionate. So, we hit it off. He patiently educated us the market conditions in the area, and it did not take long before he understood our parameters as he showed us various homes we were interested in. Of course, he was responsive via texts, calls and emails as we discussed the homes visited. At no point during the process that we felt pressured to enter into contract. He even advised us against a home that we liked because he felt obligated in letting us know the lack of comps to support the listed price in the specific neighborhood.

Fast forward a month or so later, we regrouped with George
once we identified a target. He was quick in providing a very candid assessment of the pros and cons, and gave us his gut valuation of the home. He also used web analytics from an in-house database of unique user views of the property, and incorporated that into his negotiation tool on our behalf during the contract process. He consistently pushed the bank and appraiser to meet the deadlines for closing. It is worth emphasizing that we came out of the process trusting George ever more in his integrity and diligence.

George came recommended to my mother by family friends who were impressed with his honesty and professionalism on the seller’s side during their own home purchase transaction. In our experience with George, he equaled and even surpassed their assessment, going to great lengths to assure my mother of a low-stress, positive home-selling experience. In helping my mother through the process of selling her home, George maintained a positive, patient and professional manner at all times, leading to a smooth transaction and closing. George negotiated strongly on my mother’s behalf, anticipated problems before they occurred, and consistently worked in her best interest. We are absolutely pleased with the outcome of the sale. His brochures and virtual tour for my mother’s house were outstanding.
George not only knows the Palos Verdes market, but is completely trustworthy and honest and a pleasure to work with. I feel truly lucky to have had George as my mother’s realtor.
Sincerely,
Alison Cocotis

George did a wonderful job selling our home. It was well marketed and we experienced a steady flow of potential buyers. We had great communication throughout the entire process. He is a nice and is very easy to work with. Highly recommended.

George helped me purchased my beautiful home in RPV. He provided exceptional service and expertise from making a very informed decision in the beginning to financing and explaining meticulous details about the home. He is very knowable about the housing market, extremely patient in explaining even the smallest details, very responsive in answering phone calls, texts, and emails. And most of all, just nice to talk with. I would definitely recommend George if you are hunting for a house, considering investing in the real estate market, or making a decision to sell.

We sold our parents’ home thru George Fotion, who’d provided a market valuation estimate of the house for our mother a couple of years earlier. George is a truly warm and caring individual with an uncanny understanding of the Palos Verdes real estate market (locations, home values, buyers, and sellers), a rock-solid process for producing successful sales, and a Rolodex full of great support people. George helped us understand the strengths of the house, advised us on how to address its weaknesses, and provided names for landscape services, repair and inspection contractors, and staging as an integrated team. He provided us with a well-reasoned sale price, two dozen would-be buyers, and five offers. Despite a challenging environment, we sold the house at its suggested list price. Even so, beyond simply doing the job of “selling” the house, George was always ready to answer questions, provide information, insight, and advice, and support the emotional side of this challenging transaction. Palos Verdes is blessed to have George there, and we have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who’s selling a home or looking to find one in the area.
