ELVIA & EDDIE —
A Team You Can Trust
Husband and wife, brokers, investors, and owners of Reliable Real Estate Company, we bring over 60 years of combined experience to helping families make the right real estate moves.
We know what it’s like to juggle a first-time purchase, sell a family estate, or navigate a cross-country move because we’ve done it ourselves. That’s why every client feels like family. With care, integrity, and hard-earned expertise, we guide you through every step of the process, no matter how complex.
RELIABLE REAL ESTATE
— your one stop shop.
Family-owned and operated for over 30 years, Reliable Real Estate Company is built on solving problems and making real estate simple. From buying and selling to complex situations like 1031 exchanges, probate sales, and equity rollovers — we provide the strategy, negotiation, and expertise to get the job done. Wherever your goals take you, we’ll be there.
OUR SPECIALTIES
At Reliable Real Estate Company, we’ve spent over 30 years helping families and investors navigate even the most complex real estate situations. Many clients don’t realize how much strategy can go into buying and selling until they face these unique circumstances — and that’s where our experience becomes your advantage.
Probate Trust Sales
As probate and trust certified specialists, we are trained and credentialed to handle these sensitive sales with care. Whether it’s avoiding probate court by preparing a trust, or working directly with the court, attorneys, and escrow once probate has begun, we know how to protect your loved one’s hard-earned equity. Our role is to simplify a complicated process and make sure you don’t lose value in the midst of legal procedures.
Equity Rollover, Upgrading Downsizing Strategies; Prop 19
Whether you’re ready to upgrade into your dream home or downsize to something more manageable, your equity is your strongest tool. We’ve done this ourselves and know how to time the market, negotiate aggressively, and make strategic moves — even if your current home is sold “as-is.” 55 yrs +, fire victim, or severve disability we can help transfer your tax base to your next home in California. Our expertise ensures your equity works harder for you in your next chapter.
Contingency Sales Selling Buying at the Same Time
Selling one home while buying another can feel overwhelming — timing is everything. We’ve not only helped countless families with this process, we’ve successfully navigated it ourselves while moving cross-country. With the right strategy, clear communication, and expert management of both escrows, we ensure a seamless transition so your family never feels “in-between homes.”
Buying Selling Investment Properties using 1031 Exchanges
Maximizing profits requires careful planning. We specialize in 1031 exchanges, helping you roll your gains into new properties while preserving valuable tax advantages. Our team guides you step-by-step, making sure you don’t miss opportunities to save money and build long-term wealth.
AS IS Sales
Not every home is picture-perfect — and that’s okay. When selling “as-is,” the goal is still to maximize your return. Here’s where many homeowners make a costly mistake: selling directly to investors. At Reliable Real Estate Company, we take a different approach. We advocate for you by strategically marketing your home to end-users — families looking for a primary residence who are willing to take on projects themselves. These buyers are often ready, willing, and able to pay top dollar for your property, even in as-is condition. The result? You get the maximum possible value for your home without unnecessary updates or repairs.

Highly recommend and this is why. My elderly parents met Eddie & Elvia at an open house, and though that house didn't end up working out for my parents, Eddie & Elvia jumped right away to search for the perfect home.

Thanks to the help of Elvia and her Family team (including her husband-Eddie), we have been able to sell over a dozen of my Father's properties. In many extraordinary instances, she has gone above and beyond to meet our customer needs
