Tiffany McGuinness, Realtor

Tiffany is a God send and I am forever grateful that I met her and chose her to help us in the purchase of our first family home. Before I met Tiffany, I came across many other agents via open houses or referrals, but they always came across as too pushy or like a used car salesman. I found Tiffany via extensive search on Yelp and what drew me to her were the key words “integrity, diligent, hardworking” which proved and held true in my experience with her.
The first time I messaged her on Yelp, it was late at night, but she responded right away to set up a time to chat over the phone the next day. From the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew right away I could trust her with this important next step of buying our first home. Tiffany is well connected, knowledgeable of the market, and resourceful. She always made time to explain and answer any questions I had throughout the process. She is also very funny, down to earth and really made me feel comfortable speaking with her. She made sure to understand my needs, goals, and must haves for a home, and always kept my budget in mind. She always kept me and my family’s best interest at heart, and not just making a sale. She represents both sides, both as a professional but also as a friend that cares about you.
Tiffany helped me get an offer accepted right away despite multiple offers on a charming “mini fixer upper”. We started escrow and after inspections, found that it was a bigger project than I would be able to manage. Rather than just pushing a sale, she made sure to acknowledge me and my family’s needs. Although I felt conflicted to walk away from this home, Tiffany reassured us that we would find another that we know would “be the one”.
A few weeks later, we found another home with all our must haves from our list. Tiffany guided us to move fast and put together an offer. Yet again, Tiffany helped us get our offer accepted despite multiple offers, and not simply by just making a bigger offer. She helped us draft a personable letter to present to the seller. She also connected me to her preferred lender, who helped me get approved for loan, and just made the duration of the process smoother. Tiffany never pressured us or was pushy. She however, made sure we were on track on navigating what seemed like an endless amount of paperwork in buying a home! She has good communication and coordination with all persons involved. And because if this, we were able to close escrow within 21 days! How awesome is that!
And now we have the keys to our new home... we are beyond grateful and thankful to have had Tiffany on our team. She is not only our realtor but a friend! Very highly recommend for anyone looking for a home in the South Bay Area!

We feel soooo incredibly fortunate to have had Tiffany as our real estate agent throughout our home buying journey... and it was quite the journey! Tiffany was recommended by a friend and from our very first phone conversation we knew she was the perfect match for us!!

Throughout the entire home buying process, Tiffany was understanding, very responsive, and we felt no pressure from her whatsoever. She was always just a call away, ready to provide guidance and answer our numerous questions, no matter what time of day it was. If we didn't know better, we would have thought we were her only clients! She gave us the space and time we needed to make decisions so we felt confident that every choice we made felt right for us. This was huge for us!! Tiffany's genuine personality and her desire to understand our needs made this whole stressful process of buying our home exciting (even if it was a little scary too!)

If you're in search of a real estate agent who not only knows the ins and outs of the market, but who also genuinely cares about you, look no further than Tiffany. With her by your side, you'll not only find a house; you'll find a true home and a friend for life! Thank you, Tiffany! (You’re truly the best in the business!)

Excellence. Pure and simple.

First impressions… Tiffany is a genuine and caring professional with exceptional market knowledge. She listened to us and what we wanted and truly cared about what we had to say. She is kind, but also a real go getter!

My mom is 83 years old and she lost her husband 3 years ago. She was getting tired of living alone and wanted to try a new adventure. It was time to sell the house to be closer to family. There was a lot involved getting the house ready and even more moving parts to make it all happen. Saying there was a lot to do is an understatement! If it wasn't for the dedication and support of Tiffany, it would have never happened! Mom would have given up and stayed. Tiffany patiently walked us through every step and, believe me, there were a lot of moving parts! She was amazing at strategy and problem solving. She has top notch killer instinct negotiating skills. This woman should be an attorney! She has confidence and knowledge of finance, law, contracts, and the everything about the entire process and that made her stand out. What an experience!

I am truly grateful for Tiffany and Arpi for coming into our lives. The outcome after the fact is that mom is happy now! She is smiling and good! Sometimes the grass is really greener on the other side! A house is just a house until you make it home. Your home is where your heart is. Follow your heart and surround yourself with good people. Tiffany McGuinness is good people. She's not only the best, she's family. 💕

Very happy to work with Tiffany! We interviewed several RE agents, and we all agreed that she was the best fit for us. She sold my in-laws home, so we had a couple of layers that she had to communicate with, and she did an excellent job. We were always on the same page with next steps. Her communication was great; very responsive and honest. Integrity is big in this business, and she showed the utmost integrity, having my in-laws best interest in mind and always doing what she said she would do! Her market strategy was on point, and we accepted an offer 8 days after listing, and sold it for $25k over ask! Very good in this market. I highly recommend Tiffany and her team, they are all great people and work hard for you.

My wife and I bought our very first own house with Tiffany in December 2021. We could not have chosen a better real estate agent to help accomplish this milestone. We did not realize what an emotional rollercoaster we were about to experience and Tiffany was there for us every step of the way. She is very good at what she does and we love how transparent she is with us. She helped passed every hurdle that came up during escrow. She is very familiar with housing market in South Bay area and is well-known around the community.

There are many things that makes her special, but our favorite aspect about her is that she takes time out of her busy schedule to answer any question we had (and we had many). She is very pro-active and gets things done. She provides many perspectives from her experiences so that we can make the best decision that is for us. We never felt any pressure from her. Tiffany always made it felt like as if we were speaking to a friend during this whole process, so we had many laughs along the way (which was needed). If you are looking for someone who cares about their clients and be able to emphasize with people on many levels, Tiffany is the one. Without a doubt, my wife and I would highly recommend Tiffany to anyone who is looking to buy a home.

Where do we even begin?! Buying a home is such a stressful and intimidating process to begin with as a first time home buyer but having a real estate agent like Tiffany made the entire process feel so fun, seamless and exciting! She was highly recommended by a close friend and I’m so glad we reached out to her. We clicked right away during our initial conversation and she was really easy to talk to.

Tiffany and Gia are the dream team to help you buy your house! We asked to view a house Sunday night and they were able to fit us in Monday morning and submit our house offer by Monday evening! They’ll go out of their way to not only help you find your home that not only met needs and preferences. Gia and Tiffany you truly went above and beyond for my sister and i could not be more grateful. Thank you thank you for going on this journey with us.

Tiffany McGuinness represented me during the sale of an inherited property. Throughout the process, Tiffany remained prompt and responsive and I felt reassured that she was on top of everything. Right from the start, Tiffany seemed invested in finding the right buyers along with getting me the best possible selling price. From the professional photos, listing write-up, and her overall attentiveness to the property, Tiffany was able to attract thirty potential buyers for viewings within the first weekend of the property listing. We received multiple offers and the property was sold within a week of the listing for well over asking price. Once escrow opened, Tiffany remained extremely engaged and helped to push the process along by keeping other parties accountable and on track. She kept me informed every step of the way without being prompted. Although Tiffany has a large client base, I truly felt like her top priority. Working with her was the best experience I have had with a realtor and I highly recommend contacting Tiffany for all of your real estate needs!

Tiffany McGuinness is the best! We are so grateful to have found Tiffany to help guide us through the already competitive home-buying landscape, made all the more complex by COVID-19. We had heard that the market was tough and we were already bracing ourselves for a year long search and many rejections before we found our first family home. We knew we would need someone who was knowledgeable and resourceful to help us maneuver through this process, but wanted someone whom we’d feel comfortable with as well. Enter Tiffany! She is easy to talk to, genuinely interested in hearing our thoughts and kept us focused in our search. Knowing Tiffany was on our side, we felt confident as we searched for our new home. Through each step of the way, Tiffany was responsive, accessible for our questions, providing guidance and insight when requested. Tiffany also tapped into her network and ultimately helped us find an off-market house that checked off most of the boxes on our list. As soon as we decided to go for it, she helped us get a competitive offer together. We were up against multiple offers and some difficult sellers, but Tiffany was a pro in the negotiations, making sure to protect our interests through the whole ordeal! As we went through escrow, Tiffany took care of any issues that came up and brought solutions to the table even when the seller’s agent wouldn’t. We were able to get the keys to the house in less than a month and are so ecstatic! We can go on and on about Tiffany, but the bottom line is we can’t say enough great things about her and highly, highly recommend her!

Tiffany is the best Real Estate agent in South Bay, full stop.

My fiance and I started our home buying experience lost and confused (like many in the first-time home buyer category). Tiffany completely turned that around for us. To start off this relationship, she got on call with us for the first time at 9:30p on a Sunday night and spent over an hour walking us through the entire home buying process. She provided a framework for us to begin strategically looking for the perfect home, saving us loads of time weeding out properties that would most likely be a maintenance headache in the future. After we finally met in person, we asked about any Exclusivity Agreement she may have, to which she responded 'I don't make people sign those. If you like me, you like me.. If not, no big deal. ' Sold us on the spot.

From our first call to our offer acceptance, we spent less than 30 days, completely due to Tiffany committing what seemed like every waking hour helping us find and tour properties. She took every phone call, text, email we sent her direction and was always patient with us. She did an incredible job writing our offer letter and got us into our #1 choice property in a tight window of only 7 days on the market.

We could not physically be happier with amount of time and effort Tiffany dedicated to our home buying experience and would recommend her to absolutely anyone look buy or sell their home in the South Bay. Shes Trustworthy, refreshingly candid, and always in a good mood. As friendly and engaging as she is in her Real Estate element, Tiffany is a friend you'll want to have around in your day-to-day life as well.

I found Tiffany on Yelp, read the reviews and decided to hire her. Simply put, she is amazing...it was my first home purchase and she walked me through everything, was available and responsive almost any time, day or night. In a highly competitive market she somehow got my offers accepted, helped me make tough decisions, remained calm through some tough negotiations and ultimately got me the house I really wanted. And throughout the whole stressful process of home buying, she kept her sense of humor and actually made it enjoyable. I would highly recommend Tiffany whether you are a buyer or a seller.

I worked with Tiffany to purchase my first home. It was a pleasant experience as she was proactive with everything, and there was no pressure during the process. She has a dedicated team she works with (lenders, home inspector). She was quick to respond to concerns I had during the process, and was transparent as well. When there were some items that came up in the home inspection, she coordinated having a plumber and electrician to come to the home within a couple days to provide quotes of what the repair work would cost, and provided some negotiation with the offer price.
I would highly recommend Tiffany as your home buying agent!

I highly recommend Tiffany to be your real estate agent!

She helped us narrow our search and identify the must-haves (location, short commute, school district, square feet, layout, etc.) in our first home. She is very knowledgeable about the nuances of the South Bay, as well as the Westside/Beverly Hills market.

The key characteristics that make her successful are: 1) VERY detail-oriented 2) ALWAYS accessible and responds promptly through phone, text, and/or email 3) we felt comfortable working with her 4) she will always fight for you.

Identifying a home and closing escrow can be a difficult and stressful process because it affected by market conditions, multiple offers, inventory, loan approval, and other factors that may be beyond your control. When looking at potential properties that we did not 100% like, Tiffany would say, "If it doesn't feel right, it is not the one." She was never pushy and we never felt pressured to submit an offer.

Not only is Tiffany very experienced, she is also a skilled negotiator with her creativity and people skills. She had to go back and forth with the seller's agent, but in the end, our offer was accepted well below the asking price. Tiffany was able to get us additional credit from the seller during escrow.

Because of Tiffany's recommendation to her preferred lender, we received a relationship-based interest rate with almost 0 closing costs. Her hard work, dedication, and ability to work with people allowed us to close escrow early.

We highly recommend Tiffany and hope she can help you find your next home!

Tiffany blew away all my expectations of what a real estate agent could be. She is incredibly hard-working, knowledgeable, and honest. When you hire Tiffany you also get her wonderful team and they are just as professional, hard-working, and diligent. Tiffany does a great job in helping buyers be realistic about their budgets and the market, and when the time comes, come up with offer strategies that are fair market value, competitive, and accepted! If your offers haven’t been getting accepted in this competitive market, consider getting Tiffany and her team in your corner.

Tiffany came highly recommended by our Estate Attorney when the time came to sell my mother's home. I was not fond of the idea of using a realtor that I did not have a previous relationship with, but I value the opinion of our Attorney and she had his total trust and faith. I went ahead and took the meeting with Tiffany at the property where we had a lengthy discussion and I discovered we were both on the same page when it came to the master plan of getting the best price for the property. I followed her advice and did some work on the house in all the important areas to improve the appeal and function of the home. Her guidance and direction ultimately landed us almost $100k more than the initial appraisal. Tiffany's advice on "The important" improvements and timing to getting the home on the market were spot on and landed us an excellent buyer. Tiffany's extensive expertise and service did not end at getting the home into escrow. Tiffany formed a plan of action with excellent communications through the entire escrow process handling EVERYTHING but our signatures! This was the easiest and most pain free real estate transaction I have ever been a part of.
I am beyond satisfied with the entire transaction and I cannot recommend her more for your real estate needs.

Tiffany is a realtor who will truly worked hard and earned her commission. I researched various social media sites looking to find a good realtor to represent my elderly mother in the sale of our family home of 50 years.

We met and interviewed Tiffany to see if she was the right realtor for us. She came prepared with information about our market area, she knew the market, the sales, the listings. She also presented a strategy for the sale. We liked what we heard, she was confident and her approach made sense.

Tiffany coached us for a few weeks on staging the home, removing extra clutter and ensuring the home would show as well as possible. The photographer she used was excellent, the pictures really represented well.

Where Tiffany really earned her paycheck was in the interactions with the buyers realtor. The buyers realtor was licensed but didn’t work in real estate and was inexperienced. Issues and false expectations by the buyers realtor made the interaction challenging but Tiffany managed and controlled the entire process.

She was great to work with and I truly appreciated her dedication, and the fact that this wasn’t her first rodeo really helped.

She also gave my Mom a beautiful memory book, which was well received since the home held 50 years of memories.

Tiffany helped us get our first offer accepted for our dream home in Lomita in only two weeks. After hearing the long drawn out searches and multiple rejected offers that our friends went through, we were expecting the same thing. But a bit of luck and Tiffany’s expert negotiation skills made all the difference. Everyone said that buyers would have to waive the appraisal contingency on the offer just to be competitive in this environment, but Tiffany knew better given the property we were looking at, and we still got our offer accepted while minimizing risk. Her trusty team helped us get to the finish line smoothly and quickly. Throughout the whole process, she went above and beyond for us in countless ways and we could trust her candid opinions. I recommend Tiffany and her team for anyone looking for a house around Torrance.

I often sit in my house and wonder if any of this would have been possible without Tiffany as my buying agent, and honestly, the answer is a resounding no. I cannot say enough great things about Tiffany and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking to buy a house! Being a first-time home buyer, I was nervous about the entire process and had a ton of questions. Tiffany helped answer all of my questions throughout the entire process (even before I chose her as my real estate agent). Her down to earth and fun personality made me feel super comfortable and at ease throughout the entire journey. It was like trying to buy a house with your caring big sister who wants the best for you but won’t be afraid to give you her honest opinion if she thinks your veering against your own bests interest. She warned me that it would be a very emotional rollercoaster but I always felt that I had the absolute best coach on my side to get me through whatever came our way.

Tiffany put me in contact with her amazing lender, Irvin, who was phenomenal in being understanding of my financial situation and giving me a variety of options that I felt comfortable with. The funny thing is that literally within minutes of me sharing my preferences and must haves for my home search, Tiffany said “I just found the perfect home for you!”. Did I believe her? Absolutely not. Did I take a look at the house and fall in love with it…yes! The rest is history with Tiffany’s exceptional skillset and knowledge of how to structure offers, order necessary repairs and everything in between. She empowered me with tons of knowledge and I always felt that I had all the information needed in order to make decisions and sign documents. Tiffany puts you in the driver’s seat and shares her honest feedback as she 110% genuinely cares that you pick the right home and you don’t let the home buying emotions deter you from your goals. She was able to get my offer accepted despite being a first-time buyer with a not so ideal down payment. As soon as we got in escrow, Tiffany was ahead of the game to ensure that there were no hiccups that could delay our short escrow timeline. Tiffany wears multiple hats to make sure that you have absolutely no buyer’s remorse. Selecting Tiffany as your agent also gets you an amazing team that works around the clock to get you to close on your house on time.

Despite Tiffany being a super busy all-star, I never had trouble getting a hold of her. The best thing is that again like a big sister, I have built a lasting relationship with Tiffany where I can ask her about anything, even the color of my bathroom tile (which she definitely did help me with I’ll add). I interviewed a lot of great agents but when I talked to Tiffany, I hung up the phone and I just knew that that was my agent. I now realize how blessed I was with that decision. I recognize that I had a unique situation in finding my home so quickly, but also know based on Tiffany’s personality that she will make it her personal objective to help you find the perfect home no matter what it takes. Please do not hesitate to contact her. I would recommend her to my family and closest of friends and would be happy to answer any questions you may have on my experience with Tiffany. I know that I have found someone for all my future real estate needs and when I just want to chat with an all-around amazing person.

Tiffany was wonderful to work with on our first home purchase. She and her team helped us through the entire process. Super informative especially during this very competitive market for buyers. She was our advocate and helped us get our foot in the door when we might not have been able too with someone else. She had helpful recommendations, advice, and jokes! We will come back to Tiffany and her team in our future. So happy we found Tiffany. Highly recommend!

Tiffany did an excellent job selling my condo in the Torrance area. I was a long term owner (decades) and had lots of stuff to get rid of and cosmetic work to do for a sale. Tiffany helped me with both, making my life so much easier with that part of the sale.

She did an excellent job on the sale it's self; we got a ton of offers in the first week of the listing. I got a good 10% + over the asking price, which was more then I was expecting when I did my own research. We closed in about a month with no headaches, at least for me. Tiffany handled everything, defiantly made the right choice in picking her to be my agent.

Tiffany was such a pleasure to work with that my husband and I trusted her to not only find our dream home, but to help us sell our townhouse. Anytime i needed her she made herself available despite the time of day. Our escrow was really long and she was great about educating us and keeping me, a very pregnant buyer calm. When we sold our townhouse the buyer pulled out and Tiffany showed us what a marketing genius she is by posting ads and sending email blasts along with having an open house. Within a few weeks we had another buyer ready to go. I highly recommend Tiffany, her knowledge and negotiation skills will help you obtain your dream home, or sell your home for a good profit!!
