Buyer
We were first-time homebuyers in a fierce housing market, and we loved our housing search experience - thanks to the ease, comfort, and preparedness we felt working with Mercedes. Dare we say, we enjoyed our search and even when our first sale 'fell through', Mercedes was there to pick us up and get us ready for the eventual purchase of our wonderful family home! She has expert knowledge of all the intricacies of the homebuying process. She was knowledgeable, proactive, able to anticipate our needs, and a pleasure to work with. Thanks Mercedes!!

We had the pleasure of working with Mercedes Van Pelt to sell our 91-year-old mother’s home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her exceptional service. Coordinating with three siblings living in different cities could have been complicated, but Mercedes made it easy. She was always friendly, patient, and truly listened to all of our concerns and priorities.
Mercedes brought deep knowledge of the market and offered accurate, informed advice while respecting our need to make our own decisions. She was a clear and steady communicator—responding quickly by phone, email, or text—and she explained every step of the process in terms we could all understand. She also helped us screen over 30 offers and pick the best one that we ultimately closed with, saving us a ton of time. From listing to closing, she kept us fully informed and confident in the outcome.
We would absolutely recommend Mercedes to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, and we’d work with her again in a heartbeat!

Mercedes is truly worthy of her "MVP" moniker and her team/network is just as exceptional. My wife and I have limited experience purchasing a home, however, this was our first time selling. At first, we thought, due to the competitive market, the house would sell itself. Very quickly we learned the time, energy, responsiveness, and dedication required would be substantial, that and more is where Mercedes nailed it! Similar to other reviewers, we met with three other Realtors® before deciding to work with MVP. Mercedes helped us navigate intricacies we didn't even realize existed and expanded our knowledge in other areas. Her strategies and tactics ultimately exceeded our selling goals. Finally, her network of contractors and staging companies are professional and supportive. Stop looking for a Realtor®, and call Mercedes.

Mercedes helped my mother in what will hopefully be her last move to San Pedro. Mercedes was a comforting and expert Realtor® that helped guide my mom through the process of finding her new home. She took the time to take several calls to walk my mom through options in the various areas we were looking for, spent time explaining pros and cons, and was always very upfront about her own thoughts to ensure my mom understood any concerns she had with the areas or homes. Mercedes was incredibly communicative and confident in her approach which gave my mom (and I) confidence through the process. We appreciate all the details she uncovered and made us feel comfortable through the entire process. I would recommend Mercedes to all my friends and family!
