“Shanna is top notch and so easy to deal with! She answered questions for me on various unrelated topics that weren’t even for the reason I hired her, like 1031 exchanges etc. I would highly recommend her to anyone that has unresolved real estate issues. She is professional with a ‘neighbor like’ friendly approach.”

Pete Smith

“Rebecca was an incredible help in our FSBO home sale. She was responsive and easy to work with, offered sound advice throughout the process, and saved us a lot of money during contract negotiations. I can’t recommend her or SoCal Realty highly enough!”

Ryan

“I have been working and referring clients to Shanna now for just over 2 years. She has always gone above and beyond with assisting them to all extents. Her extensive knowledge of the Real Estate industry from a legal perspective is impressive and has saved many clients from hardship that could have happened without her support! Whether the client needs basic/simple feedback or representation to very involved and complicated transactions Shanna is always there 100%. Being a Mortgage Lender myself, Shanna is a golden egg to have in my sphere and is on the top of my list as in referring my clients to. She has also been a great resource for myself and my colleagues in the industry. Thank you Shanna!!”

Danielle

“Rebecca reviewed a commercial lease for me. She was very thorough and pointed out various areas of concern and proposed ways to negotiate the lease in my favor. She was friendly and didn’t make me feel dumb for all the questions I asked.”

Autumn

“Shanna is hardworking and thorough in everything she does, which translates well in the legal field. As a real estate agent, I have sought the advice and counsel of Shanna on numerous occasions. Each time she provided sound advice and presented options for me and/or my clients. I have never questioned Shanna’s knowledge of real estate law, and am thankful she is always available to assist me.”

Rich

“Rebecca is a smart and capable champion who tackles issues with rigorous determination and exemplary professionalism. I retained her as my attorney in a contentious and drawn out legal battle that required lengthy depositions and negotiations, extensive filings, and court appearances due to an exceedingly hostile litigant. Rebecca was always well prepared and left the opposition in ruins; watching her catch the other side in lies during deposition questioning was glorious. She was very thorough and provided sound advice throughout the duration of the process, answering all of my questions, and helping to put me at ease during a very stressful time. I highly recommend her counsel.”
