From beginning to end, Mrs. Zarghami has been such a blessing to our family. She never gave up on us and through uncertain times, she kept our best interests at heart. Not only that, she made sure she found us a great space with our children in mind as well using many resources to make sure we had what we needed. By far, she has been the best realtor we’ve ever teamed up with and as an Army Veteran we have lived in many places! I would recommend her and her team to ANYONE who wants an honest, upfront realtor that will be with you every step of the way. Just amazing and we can’t thank them enough!!!

Rita and her team are with you throughout the entire process of buying or selling your home. They explain every detail along the way; no question left unanswered. Once the transaction is complete, they continue to check on you as a client and person. We know for fact, as we consider Rita a very close family friend and our life long realtor. We can always rely on Rita and her team to give us very accurate information. She and her team have answered major to minor questions whether there was a sale or not. Their team sends out informative home buying information throughout the year, every year. You can definitely count on Rita and her team to put their clients first. Unknown fact: The Zarghami team takes time every year during the Christmas holidays to do a non-profit toy drive for under privileged children, in our local areas. What a dedicated, giving and amazing team!!! Thanks for all you and your team do to help your clients.

Lakendra Gaffney, is my Home Relator.
I must say, she came highly recommended from my lender. She certainly worked exceptionally diligently, to represent me, as a client.
She was always available to reach... I never had to run her down, to communicate with her concerning issues or any misunderstandings, I had with the buying process. She was extremely astute in the way she guided me through my contracts, forms and deadlines. I feel so blessed by God, that he sent her my way.
Thank you, Lakendra!

I was in a bind as I had to sell my house in a hurry. I entered into a contract and hadn’t listed my house.
Rita and Keyvan to the rescue. Not only did she get my house sold but did it in 3hours. Not saying they will do this every time but the effort was put forth and I got more then I originally thought I would.
A great pair and exceptional communication.
They will hold a special place in my heart and will handle my other real estate needs without question.

Rita is the best. She is very nice and professional. It’s not easy being a first time homeowner, but she made me feel at ease. She is very knowledgeable and detailed when showing homes. She strives to make sure you get what you want. Every time we viewed a property she looked for signs for problem, things that needed to be fixed, and the construction of the property. Rita is awesome and it was a very pleasurable experience. She was recommended by a friends and I will recommend her to others as well! Go with Rita. You won’t be disappointed!

There are some services in which you can do yourself or go with an amateur. When buying a house, an average realtor is not what you want. If you want someone with years of experience who will steer you in the right direction then Rita and her team are the choice.

This was a difficult sell. My mother is in a nursing home in California. I reside in Ohio and the house being sold was in Texas. There were several hurdles to overcome through the entire process and Rita and Keyvan went above and beyond to get this house sold. They were easy to deal with and communicated extremely well. I would encourage anybody to talk to this team. They did a great job.
Thank you

Rita exceeded expectations throughout the entire process and was incredible through every stage of of selling our home. She was an ally, friend, and advisor and helped us navigate a difficult time to sell a house! We felt like we were constantly “ahead of the curve” in every step of the process, which was entirely due to Rita’s thoroughness and dedication. We always knew Rita had us covered. We cannot imagine a better experience and cannot wait to refer other people moving forward.

We couldn’t be happier with our new home, and I would highly recommend Rita for anyone looking to buy or sell. She’s absolutely wonderful to work with!
