Meet the Team

"Friendly, knowledgeable, and caring, Amber Rueda is an amazing agent. She sold several lots for me in an undeveloped area with efficiency and expertise. Providing many helpful resources, Amber helped me get through some otherwise difficult transactions. Not only did she research possible problems with the land, but she also took aeriel photographs and even close-up pictures by horseback. She was quick to communicate with me, keeping me abreast of the process. She dealt with buyers with expertise, obtaining strong selling prices. Although the process of selling undeveloped land was unfamiliar to me, she walked me through every step in the process guiding me with great advice! Amber Rueda is top-notch and has my highest recommendation! "

"Panos is a superb realtor! He represented us in a long-distance purchase in the Marina and made everything go smoothly. Panos takes his fiduciary responsibility to his clients very seriously. He is detail-oriented, doing everything possible to protect our interests, using a thorough, in-depth knowledge of all things real estate - the market, legal requirements, and building/structural issues. And, he is very resourceful, able to find someone to do whatever you need or want done. We also found him very responsive, answering all of our texts almost immediately. We highly recommend Panos! Bob and Jane W,"

"Buying and/or Selling a home can be a very stressful experience, yet this home sale was probably the smoothest one I’ve experienced and that is no doubt because of Amber! She knows her stuff and was on top of everything! She fought to get us the right price and even went above and beyond and helped with the curb appeal of the home. She was always available for any questions and expertly explained away any concerns or confusion. If you are in the market and need a realtor, I implore you to give her a call!"

"Monica has exceeded every expectation that I could have had for a realtor. She helped me to navigate every challenge that arose with compassion and professionalism. She explained in detail, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and made solid recommendations when needed. It was easy to talk to her and I felt like I could truly rely on her the entire time. She got multiple offers on the house within days and we were able to close quickly. I’m grateful to have had her help because few people would have gone to the lengths that she did. Monica was the only part of this entire process that didn’t stress me out. I didn’t go into my realtor search looking for a personality match but I just got lucky. 10/5 stars. I would absolutely hire her again!"

"Super responsive, professional and pro active. Selling and buying a home can be a stressful and anxious process. Panos and his team made it that much easier and painless. Highly recommended "

"Panos is a very trustworthy person who has a very broad understanding and knowledge of the property market in Los Angeles. Panos helped me figuring out the pricing of my unit perfectly. Like every property seller, my reality vs the market reality were different and he made me see the reality hence ended up selling the unit in a timely manner. If I ever buy or sell in Los Angeles, Panos would be the only person I will work with and the only person I can recommend to any of my prospective buyer/seller friends."

"Aria Properties represented us on a recent purchase of a condo. Their staff were very professional, considerate, caring, and on top of every fact of the transaction. We were extremely satisfied, would use them on our next transaction, and would highly recommend them. Thank you Aria Team!"

"Panos Papadopoulos is an extraordinary Real estate agent dealing with luxury residential properties. I have had many interactions with Real estate agents over the years, but I have never worked with anyone as professional or thorough as Panos, and I am very particular. I highly recommend Panos, whether you are a seller, as I was, or a buyer. You will be exceedingly well represented as he is absolutely ethical, thoughtful, with a focus on details that keeps sight of the transaction and what it will take to get it done, and extremely efficient. When it came time for us to sell our luxury residence in Marina del Rey, because I had worked with Panos on a lease transaction in the past, I did not want to work with anyone else to handle the sale of our luxury high-rise condo there. Panos was very thoughtful in developing a very smart sales strategy and exceedingly professional in keeping it on track, resulting in a closing in June 2022 on schedule. I knew that Panos would give our transaction his full attention, and what he told me could be trusted. During these difficult and challenging economic times, Panos is a very thoughtful Real estate agent you can trust, as you cannot afford to lose a transaction in a changing economy and marketplace. Panos is associated with Aria Properties in Marina del Rey (949) 235-7315. "

"My tenants had just given their official move-out notice, and I needed to update my condo, market and show it to prospective new tenants. It had been a while since I’d done this, and I was feeling overwhelmed, to say the least. Rick helped me through every step of this process. As soon as we spoke on the phone, he provided helpful suggestions on how to modernize my condo and make it stand out in a crowded marketplace. After our walkthrough, he provided valuable contacts for me such as a handyman (who can do anything!) and a company that does a beautiful job of refurbishing kitchen cabinets. It was like having an interior decorator and leasing agent rolled into one. He was extremely responsive and really cared about helping me find the right tenant as quickly as possible. With Rick’s help, our condo now looks gorgeous, modern, and sleek, and I found a tenant in no time at all. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Rick or Aria Properties. He will be the first person I call the next time I need to find new tenants or sell or buy a property. Thank you again for everything Rick! So glad I found you!"

"I’m so glad we found Rick, Panos, and their team! Everyone worked so hard for us, above and beyond our expectations. I’m 100% sure we would not have found our home without him. We had a very specific area in Marina Del Rey we were looking at and he got us exactly what we were looking for and the price we wanted. His attention to detail and experience made the process so seamless. We closed a couple of weeks ago, and his team continues to provide support and assistance with their second-to-none network. I realize now how important it is to have an experienced real estate agent, someone who has that network to know what hasn’t even hit the market yet. I'm so sure they’d know before we even looked at a house that we’d like it or not, but they’d always accompany us, no matter where we found something to look at. There is so much more I could go on about, but suffice it to say, I will never question our decision to have Rick and his team on our side!"

"Although there were many real estate agents who approached us to represent our property for sale, Panos has risen above the competition as one of the most knowledgeable and conscientious Real estate agents I have ever met. From his first introduction to the property until the final papers were signed, Panos showed incredible patience and attention to detail that made the often tedious and sometimes complicated real estate transaction seem effortless. There was no question that was too mundane, nor any idea that was not seriously considered as he masterfully helped us to market our property, ultimately finding the perfect buyer for our special home. We are profoundly grateful to Panos for leading us to a successful sale during these complicated times."

"Panos is the classiest agent we have ever encountered. His team was superb at not only finding the house of our dreams, which was off the market (we didn’t like anything on the market and had been looking for months with various other agents) but making the entire process seamless and even enjoyable! We feel extremely blessed to have met Panos and Russell. Thanks to them we will soon be moving into the home Adrian. They could not have been more helpful with the process, truly going above and beyond any expectation, we could have had. I’ve already recommended him to my friends and will continue to do so. If you get a chance to work with the Aria team, go for it. It’s unlike any other real estate experience. Pure class."

"Working with Panos and the Aria team was a true pleasure, one of the most unambiguously positive business experiences, I have ever had. We were moving from DC to LA and had one weekend ( during the pandemic) to find a place. We ended up finding a true dream choice, within our price range. Panos has a world of information, and contacts that open up infinite choices. He has the ability to supply information, and important assistance, analysis, guidance, that is truly from understanding us, not pushing his own agenda. And on top of it, this was actually an enjoyable experience, with not only gaining a beautiful home but a friend. I could not recommend Panos and Aria more highly!"

"Panos and his team exceeded our expectations in all regards. Panos's work ethic, communication skills, and knowledge of the Silicon Beach market are unprecedented. He made us feel extremely comfortable, went above and beyond with data about the general market, and was available at all hours. I could not have felt in better hands. The entire process of the transaction went seamlessly and we were taken care of at all levels. I highly recommend Panos and his team."

"First found Aria Properties due to their reviews and location. Panos and Rick sold me their initial presentation detailing how we were going to proceed in selling the property. Communication was great - they constantly kept me in the loop and provided updates. Absolutely phenomenal services and knowledgeable team. The reassurance and peace of mind are priceless. No doubt, you will be in good hands trusting your property to Aria properties. Highly recommend."

"Just had my second closing with Aria Properties - first as a buyer and now as a seller. Both times, I had an excellent experience. Panos and the entire team are extremely professional and knowledgeable, guiding me through every step of the process. Panos in particular is a great communicator, negotiator, and problem solver who was able to navigate around any challenge. I highly recommend him!"

"Rick is incredibly professional, attentive, and genuine. We worked with him to lease our new home, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. It didn't matter what time of day, he responded to our questions quickly and always worked with our schedules. He made a process that can feel so stressful, absolutely seamless. We will definitely work with him again in the future."

"Working with Panos to buy a condo in Marina Del Rey was a wonderful experience. We were in Washington, DC, during the pandemic, and Panos made the process as stress-free as possible. We ended up with the perfect place for us. He is the most responsive, professional person I have ever dealt with in all our real estate transactions. I cannot recommend him highly enough!"

"There are not enough adjectives to describe the incredible, painless, efficient, and informative experience my husband and I had with Panos Papadopoulos and Aria Properties. My husband stated he wants to buy another home just to work with Panos and his team again. Our words for exceptional service are. It was an absolutely, positively spectacular experience."

"Working with Rick was a real pleasure. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, and made himself available for any questions we had. We felt very supported throughout the process - it was super smooth and stress-free. We most definitely will suggest Rick to anyone we know who is looking for a Real estate agent. Thank you for the outstanding service!"

"Macy was my buying agent for our family home in Brentwood. He expertly identified a perfect list of properties and once we found our dream home, got us an amazing deal even after there were multiple offers on the property. When I think of someone who I want on my side to get a deal done in spite of challenges that come up with sellers, Macy is our guy."

"Rick is an energetic, positive, knowledgeable person that will go above and beyond to help you with your needs. He sees what needs to be done and gets it done. Rick is perfect with communication in making sure he gets back to you in a timely manner and keeps you updated. Rick is easy to work with no matter what kind of schedule you have."

"Rick was very professional and down-to-earth. Within 4 hours of listing our property, he found us a great couple to rent our house. Russell made the process extremely easy and smooth. I would recommend anyone to seek him out in helping you rent, buy, sell or lease. We will definitely be working with him in the future. Thank you, Rick."

"Rick Dergan from Aria Properties went above and beyond helping my family find our new home. Our situation was highly stressful and had in itself unique obstacles. Rick brought a sense of calm and guided us with the utmost care, compassion, and professionalism. We felt like his only client is forever grateful."

"Rick helped me lease a rental unit that I own. Rick was communicative throughout the process. Covid made renting the unit a bit challenging, but Russell also came up with creative ideas to generate more interest in the unit and was able to get it rented quickly. I would recommend working with Rick!"

"Panos and Deniz at Aria did a terrific job. Supremely knowledgeable, responsive, and kind. Helped me navigate a large amount of paperwork and to-dos as a first-time buyer and keep the deal on track despite some problems beyond their control. I highly recommend them."

"We had an excellent experience working with Rick and the Aria Properties team! Incredibly responsive and focused on our needs throughout our lengthy search and purchase process. We would highly recommend Rick and his team to prospective home buyers."

"Rick is a fantastic Real estate agent. Professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to help me close on a property in LA. Thoroughly recommend if you are looking for a trustworthy, stellar partner in your property search."
