Customer Reviews

When it came time to sell our home, we knew Edwin was the right choice. We had previously worked with him when purchasing the property?he was the listing agent?and were impressed by his professionalism and attention to detail. This time was no different. Once again, Edwin exceeded our expectations. He is attentive, knowledgeable, and brings a wealth of experience and strategic insight to the process. Thanks to his expertise, our home sold in less than two weeks. He has also built a trusted network of profes

Edwin went above and beyond helping us selling our home in La Canada Flintridge! He was very engaged from beginning to end, guiding us through the process in a very timely manner. He coordinated the staging, photography, matterport, and even produced multiple promotion videos! He hosted multiple open houses including catering! In the end we received multiple offers and were extremely happy with the results. Edwin treated us like family, we would highly recommend him!

Edwin definitely walks the walk. He puts his years of experience behind his marketing and sales approach. His beautiful photography and videos drove excitement about our listing which generated a lot of traffic to our house. That, in turn, generated multiple offers. Who doesn't want multiple offers?! He initially gave us an estimate (which was well above other realtors we interviewed) and he beat his own estimate! He was at every showing of our house and never passed it off to an associate. He also never me

We are very pleased that we had a chance to work with Edwin. Buying a home can always be a very challenging and emotionally draining process but during this unprecedented competitive market you may need all the help you can get. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is who you choose to represent you. If you are looking for a home in Glendale/La Crescenta or nearby areas, Edwin is an excellent choice. He is local and will always make time to show you a home even on short notice. He has been facili

Edwin and his team have been very accommodating and professional. We reached out to him to sell one of our rental properties. Because of Edwin?s knowledge and expertise he was able to sell the property for over $30k above the asking price. His team was very attentive and took good care of us. My wife and I are very grateful to Edwin and his team!

Edwin Ordubegian was our real estate agent for the recent sale (8/2023) of our home in Glendale, CA. We highly recommend him as an agent. He is extremely personable, generous, knowledgeable, energetic, and committed to selling your home. He went above and beyond all we expected and our home sold above asking price. Thank you Edwin!! Sincerely, Barb & Howard Perino

Edwin was such a pleasure to work with! Edwin far exceeded my expectations as a real estate agent, whatever question I had, he always had an answer. Edwin was always punctual, communicative, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Highly recommend Edwin as a realtor, 5 stars through and through!

Working with Edwin was a delight! He helped our family find the perfect home and negotiated the deal for us. The transaction went very smoothly and Edwin handled everything from A-Z. I would recommend Edwin to all of my friends and family!

(And on the plus side my kids said he was honest and funny:) You simply can't go wrong!!!! Thanks again Edw

USE EDWIN. Edwin had to drag us through parts of the process that were not what we expected but in the end were part of the best possible representation we could have had. We had a complicated contingent deal that we are certain would not have happened if not for his diligence. If we ever decide to sell our new home, Edwin will be the first person we call. This man does not sleep, does not care what day of the week it is and will be more worried about your outcome than you are. And, he does it all with a s

Edwin was fantastic! He was on top of the transaction every step of the way. He fights for his clients to ensure they are protected all the way!

A very passionate and energetic person. Edwin had our interest in mind, and made sure we were happy. He gave us sound advice and encouraged us throughout the process. He is known by most agents in the area he works, and is well respected. Thanks to his help we were able to find a great condo.

Edwin is an outstanding agent. He treated us unlike any agent. He was aggressive and we ended up getting the home that we wanted. Thank you Edwin!

Edwin did a fantastic job selling our Glendale condo within days of listing it and more than 10% over asking. He literally did everything from staging it to getting the minimal repairs done. Easiest real estate deal we ever did.

Very professional agent very knowledgeable and helpful great attitude and always smiles and happy

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
