TESTIMONIALS

 

"I recently completed the purchase of a multifamily property in San Diego with the help of Twana Rasoul. From the beginning to the end, Twana was there to guide me through every step of the process. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a ton of questions, which Twana was able to answer patiently, promptly and in detail. He is one of the best communicators I know, not only using different methods of communication effectively and being timely, but also always ensuring that I fully understood what was occurring and that I felt comfortable with my decisions. He also has a great sense of humor! Thanks to Twana's strategic and negotiating skills, I was able to secure a property on my second offer! I never expected this to occur in this hot hot seller's market! I would highly recommend Twana to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate in the San Diego market. In addition to his expertise in investing in multifamily properties, Twana can structure a winning offer (that will stand out) for any buyer using his experience and strategy. He will also negotiate very effectively on behalf of his clients, a skill that separates the very best realtors (such as Twana) with the rest of the pack. To reiterate, I enthusiastically recommend Twana to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in the San Diego area. He is more than just a real estate agent and investor. Twana is also a mentor and a friend."

"Thank you Twana for everything that you've done for me these last few months. I am lucky to have found Twana on BiggerPockets, and he has helped me successfully close on my first ever property, a duplex that I plan to house hack in. From the very first phone call until the keys were handed over, Twana was incredibly knowledgeable, savvy, responsive, patient, and all around an excellent resource to ask questions and raise concerns to. He also is a go getter, takes the initiative, and acts quickly and with finesse in critical moments, especially in a hot market like San Diego. As a first time home buyer, I had no idea what to expect. I literally had no clue on how to find a good investment property, what neighborhoods to look in, how to structure an offer and negotiate, how to fund deals, how to close on a property, and more. The questions were endless, but Twana always patiently answered my questions and was encouraging throughout the whole process. I learned so much just from working with him and attending webinars hosted by his team, and am grateful for the knowledge and experience I gained by going through this process. I really appreciate everything that Twana has done for me, and look forward to working with him again in the future!”

"Finding Twana was easily one of the best things to ever happen for my future. I can't thank Twana enough for helping us find our first investment property and helping us become homeowners. Not only was it easy working with him, but he took the time to explain things to us when it seemed like we had a million questions and things going on. In just under 2 months we found an amazing property, put in an offer, closed and moved into our new place before Christmas. As newcomers when it comes to real estate investing, Twana made sure to show us the numbers and help us understand our investment from putting in the offer to 30 years down the road. I appreciate Twana's helpfulness, his winning attitude and his unwavering knowledge for the real estate world. I look forward to working with Twana on our next investments!"

“I would like to thank Twana Rasoul for the incredible....and magical work he has done for our family! Within 3 days... we were able to lock down the property with him! He is truly a professional and has great influence/negotiation skills. I don't know how he does it, when nobody else can! We have had 2 agents prior to him, were looking for a month....and were tired of going to open houses and failing each time! We lost every house we submitted our offer on. With him...we did not go into overbidding war, as other agents would recommend. We did not lose on equity here.. as many people today do! We were able to buy a house that is excellent for our family - great peaceful community, great schools, no remodeling needed! Twana has a strategy in mind when it comes to real estate. Truly, as investor himself, he understands the game. This is not average real estate agent but only the top 2%. As hot as San Diego market is, he was able to do it with high speed and top quality! I can't recommend him enough! I can't wait to do more deals with him and invest in SD as well.”

“Twana was recommended to me by a friend of mine in the investing community and I will forever be grateful! Making the move from the Temecula Valley down to San Diego in historically one of the most competitive housing markets we’ve ever seen was a little crazy on my part but Twana was up for the challenge and did not disappoint. We first connected middle of February and as of April 4th I got keys to a house I’m stoked over! He was kind, communicative, available and aggressive in critical moments that I know made a difference in making my offer stand out when stacked up against similar offers. Additionally, when my appraisal came in short (which we anticipated), he was really effective in negotiating the final price. If you are looking to jump into this market I could not recommend Twana enough. Throw in an amazing lender and the right attitude and you’ll get into a home in no time!”

“The number one thing I would say about Twana is there is no one I trust to negotiate in real estate more than him. On top of that, he is extremely timely, honest and knowledgeable. Twana is the expert in his marketplace and goes out of his way to secure the best deal possible for his clients. Twana is not just another agent in San Diego who will put you on an email list and send you useless listings. He learns exactly what you are looking for and doesn't waste your time with anything less than the best deal for you. I learned about Twana through word of mouth when I arrived in the San Diego area and he quickly became a friend of mine. After reaching out to him, Twana learned exactly what I was looking for and sent incredible opportunities my way that no other Agent could. He surpassed his exceptional reputation and is someone I couldn't recommend enough. Twana is the reason I now own a Triplex in San Diego, and if you are in San Diego you need Twana on your team. Twana it has been an absolute pleasure working with you and I will see you on the next deal!”

“Twana was an awesome real estate agent! He helped me find the 4plex of my dreams. Even when I thought someone outbid me he contacted me 2 weeks later and said it was mine and we were under contract because he followed up and stayed in contact with the other realtor! He also got me 7k in credit from the sellers! I would highly recommend to others who are looking for a multi unit property!”

“Where do I start.. I found Twana through BP super late one night and noticed he was also in San Diego. I slid in his DM's and we chatted for an hour that night at like 11pm. That alone showed me how serious he was about his business/work ethic. Reminded me a lot of myself, actually. My main question for him: should I go invest out of state in the midwest or should I do a house hack here in San Diego? What do you know, with his limitless knowledge, he has experience with both of the above, a true real estate lord. he advised against the out of state option because I could "grab so much more real estate here with an owner occupied loan". Fast forward one month and I now own a tri-plex here in San Diego. Its rented on AirBnB and it's getting that midwest cash flow we all strive for. Twana, you pointed me in the correct direction, you're like a father to me. All jokes aside, Twana was more than awesome. I like to move fast in life and he got the deal done about one month after I first reached out. Some things you might get while working with Twana: - Knowledge - he personally owns MF properties in San Diego so he is speaking from experience - Multi Family Experience - I turned down RE agent friends because they did not have the 2-4 unit experience. - San Diego reputation - his reputation not only helped us get the deal, but allowed us to get some seller credits at closing. He had worked with the listing agent before and she new he could close the deal. - Great Communication - he was always a text away, and responded quickly - "Hand Holding" experience - if you are new to RE like myself and have a million questions, and want to actually learn some of the process behind the scenes, work with Twana. He is great at explaining things and doesn't mind it. - A great house warming gift - not promised but if you are handsome you might get lucky! Thanks man!”

"Twana has been an exceptional agent. As a first-time home buyer and beginner investor, I was trapped in the analysis paralysis phase that we all I have before starting our journey. Twana has been extremely helpful every step of the way. Originally, I was stuck in a position where I eagerly wanted to start real estate investing purchase a rental property. But I also needed a place to live and to get out of renting. I live in San Diego and with the prices here and only so much available capital, l I was considering buying a SFH and using the remaining capital to look into out of state investing. I had considered house hacking before but I just couldn't find a nice multi-family property in San Diego that is in a good area. I have a wife and expecting a child and needed somewhere that they could feel safe. And that's where Twana showed me that it was possible. He revealed to me how is currently house hacking a duplex in San Diego and that he also had a family so a safe location was important to him. This was how I knew that he understood what I was looking for since we shared similar familial living situations. From there he sent me multiple listings of properties that would fit my category and was quick and efficient with all of my requests. We eventually put an offer for a duplex in an area that had huge potential growth in SD. It was my first time going through an offer and he guided me and explained everything throughout the whole process. The first offer eventually didn't fall through, we both didn't like the direction the seller was going with their counters. So, we called it quits on that one and decided to move on. Just as we moved on from the first offer, he instantly sent me a listing that just popped onto the market that very same day. This listing was an even better opportunity than the first one and we were able to move quickly and have them accept our offer before they even got to their weekend showings. In this hot sellers’ market, it was amazing that we did not have to get into a bidding war with other buyers. Throughout the escrow process Twana has been responsive and informative on the whole process. He was able to negotiate for us and get the seller to agree to the whole request for seller credits to fix up a few minor things on the property. We were able to close on our property in a little under 3 weeks and are excited to get started on making this property both our first home and investment property."

"Twana has incredible market knowledge and understood that I was looking for a multi-family. He has experience house hacking himself, so he was truly the perfect agent for us. This was our first home purchase, so I had a lot of questions that he responded to promptly. I would analyze deals and run them by Twana to ensure I wasn’t missing something or things to be aware of moving forward. We put in roughly 9 offers in one month and he was spot on for each of them. When closing on our property, he had critical insight to negotiate appropriately that led to both parties being happy with the end result. It was a big bonus that he has experience with VA loans and a suggested lender with great rates. I have no doubt that Twana can help any homebuyer and I would recommend him to my family and friends."

“Amazing experience start to finish. Twana is a rockstar. We just bought our first home and Twana was a calm voice of reason in a hectic real estate market, and helped keep us grounded in reality (and mindful of our goals) while we were learning the ropes. He spent time getting us up to speed on the market and how to correctly shop homes, guided us to properties that aligned with our goals, made sure we weren't over-extending ourselves or overlooking high-cost pitfalls, and made himself available whenever we had a concern or question. Post-purchase we're still in touch, and he's graciously offered us his connections for projects we're doing around the home. 10/10 experience, and we're already recommending him to our friends.”

— Christopher B.

 

“Twana is the best agent for a new homeowner and budding real estate investor like myself. He was patient when I asked thousands of questions and waded me through the journey of finding the perfect place. Twana is very knowledgeable of the San Diego market and will always provide his honest opinions based on his expertise. You should have Twana on your side for your real estate investment journey!”

— Mimi M.

 

“When we decided to buy a fixer out of town I knew I needed an agent with real world experience in buying and fixing. Twana has been great every step of the way. From the beginning stages of writing quick offers, then a somewhat troublesome negotiation and closing, and finally great recommendations for renovation work. From start to finish it’s been low pressure and sage advice! Very happy with my decision to choose Twana and I hope to work with him again soon!”

— Brandon G.

 

“This will be our first purchase of a property where we were completely out of state for the whole process. It couldn't have gone better! Twana had no problem doing many many virtual walk-throughs on a schedule that worked for us. He made it seem like we were his only clients and was very open with sharing his local network of rockstars that he works with. I felt he was calm, confident, and knows San Diego like the back of his hand. We are happy to have him on our team and will be using him for our next house hack! Highly Recommend!”

— Max M.

 

“Twana is an outstanding agent. He’s responsive, generous with his time, and always put our interests first. He helped us get an investment property during a very competitive market and without his guidance and diligence, we probably wouldn’t have been able to get it. Twana knows the San Diego market very well and since he’s an investor himself, he understands the numbers and what makes sense for investors. He wants what is best for his clients and is not pushy about “making the sale." I absolutely recommend him to others and would work with him again.”

— Katrina R.

 

“Twana gets offers accepted, period. He brought incredible value to every step of the purchasing process. His offer strategies won me contracts for multiple 2-4 unit properties at a time when there are dozens of offers to compete with. From the day we first got on the phone, he shared his own experiences with me, listened to my needs and goals, and gave me the confidence that I didn't need to know everything about real estate myself because I was working with an expert. He validated my gut feelings when I wasn't interested in a property (for whatever reason), never made me feel like I was competing for his time, took the time to educate me, and wrote many MANY offers on my behalf even when it was a long shot. I learned so much from working with him and landed an amazing property because of his savvy. Twana's reputation in the community means that he gets lots of off-market deals sent his way, and because he's an investor himself, he approaches real estate strategically. I recommended him to a friend for a SFR purchase and they closed on a house within a month of working together when she'd been looking for 9 months before that. He's a real pro, and a real delight, and I look forward to working on more deals with him in the future.”

“Twana is an amazing agent. Knows real estate through and through. An investor himself and investor friendly. Extremely hard working and diligent. He is very responsive, even at late hours! He found me an off market duplex in an extremely competitive market. I highly, HIGHLY recommend working with him. He is the best!”

“Going into my first time purchasing real estate couldn't have been an easier experience. Twana and his team really helped guide me through the process, gave me honest advice, and even when things didn't go quite as planned his team went ABOVE AND BEYOND to support their client. I highly recommend him to ANYONE starting out, or seasoned in investing in real estate in San Diego. I will be using him for all of my future endeavors. To the entire team, THANK YOU for everything from explaining all the details of every step to me, having unmatched communication and timeliness, and to the integrity that you all showed throughout the transaction. I am forever grateful. It is rare to find a team with all of the qualities yours possess.”
