Thanks to Fred and Rene at arrivva for helping me with a house purchase – from answering countless questions, providing a ton of online resources, to ensuring every detail was taken care of. Their guidance, professionalism, patience, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Efforts truly went above and beyond, and better support couldn’t have been asked for.
Special thanks for their innovative fee model, which made the experience even more positive and cost-effective. arrivva’s services will certainly be recommended to anyone in need of a top-notch real-estate buyers agents.

We had an outstanding experience working with Arrivva to purchase our home in Santa Monica. Fred and Rene supported us every step of the way, guiding us through the entire home buying process with valuable insights and advice. By working with a broker who charges a flat fee and returns 2.5% at closing, we saved a significant amount of money, which we can now use for repairs, closing costs, or remodeling—it’s cash in the bank, thanks to Arrivva’s innovative business model. We highly recommend their services and will definitely use them again in the future.

We were 2 experienced buyers that had everything lined up (inspectors/comps/etc) but didn’t want to pay the buyer’s commission.

We went with Arrivva and placed bids on quite a few properties and eventually one got accepted.

Arrivva was the perfect fit for us and we saved a good deal of cash.

Working with Fred & Rene was a breeze. My wife was a bit skeptical with me picking this agency, thinking there were “discount agents providing discount service”, but she ended up really liking them: they were always very responsive on slack, and had great insight regarding pricing & negociation.

It’s weird to think that a flat-fee commission isn’t more common (at least for the buyer side), but I’m glad we picked this agency!

edit following response from owner: I definitely didn’t consider you as discount brokerage, but my wife just couldn’t understand why other were charging more 🙂

Worked with Fred & team to put in offers on a few houses before finally getting our forever home. I found Fred & team had great knowledge of the different neighborhoods in the Bay Area and were great at pulling comps and knew what it would take to definitely win each home we put an offer in on (we just weren’t willing to go as high for the first few places we put an offer on until we found the perfect place). Communication was over slack which worked really well and found the team was always responsive. The savings on the buyers fee is what helped us win the house by being able to pass that savings back to the seller. Would definitely highly recommend Arrivva.

Fred and his team were AMAZING. We found our dream home and they helped us navigate the process through closing (which we did ahead of schedule). They were lightning fast at communicating with us and the lenders, and we got compliments from the seller’s agents about how great it was to work with them. Best part- they charge a very reasonable flat fee and they refunded us the agent fees at the end. How could you ever go back?!

I had a great experience with Fred and Rene from Arrivva inc. I’m the first time home buyer but I knew what particular area I was interested in and what properties I would like to see. If you like me don’t hesitate to do your homework, shortlist properties and arrange showings then Arrivva would be a great choice for you as well. Fred and Rene gave many advices and shared their honest opinion, were super responsive on slack to answer any question. They timely prepared offers, professionally handled tough negotiation process, many counter offers, discussions and debates with seller agent, without pressuring me but they defending my interests, and finally we got a best possible deal and closed smoothly.

Arrivva is industry changing! I highly recommend Fred and Rene from Arrivva as real estate agents. They were instrumental in helping me purchase my dream home and went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. From competitive offers to resolving issues with construction projects and legal matters, they were always there to support me every step of the way. And the best part is that we even received a $100k rebate after closing! Fred and Rene are professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to their clients. They have a deep understanding of the local market and are able to provide valuable insights and guidance throughout the entire process. I was impressed by their attention to detail and their ability to navigate complex situations with ease. Overall, I had an excellent experience working with Fred and Rene from Arrivva and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area.

Google needs to change the rating system to allow more stars. If they did, Arrivva would be first on my list to receive them. Arrivva keeps a low profile due to their disruptive business model upending everything that is traditional and broken with the real estate commissions. The terms seem unbelievable and I will be the first to admit that five alarm fire bells were going off when I first found Fred, but this company is absolutely legitimate. First time home buyers that require a lot of hand-holding may wish to pay the full 2.5% to help supplement their buyer’s agent’s monthly Porsche lease payments, but for the vast majority of us with family and friends that know what they’re doing, Fred, Rene & Arrivva is the homebuying hack of the century, especially for this area.

HI enjoyed working with the Arrivva team because they are very efficient, knowledgeable, and transparent. As your realtor, Arrivva can reduce your costs with their commission rebate. As your mortgage broker, Arrivva can reduce your costs by getting you a very competitive interest rate with minimal closing costs. The Arrivva team uses Slack instant messaging, which is a very efficient communication tool that helps get things done quicker. Arrivva is great for experienced buyers who are capable of doing their own research, but since the home buying process can always have complications, Arrivva will ensure that the process goes smoothly because Fred, Rene, and Jen are always on top of everything and are very responsive.

I’m a first-time home buyer. We’ve been working with Fred and the team for almost 6 months. We’re on the picky side, and because of the weird market condition, our search is still going. But Fred and the team have been extremely patient with us; we never felt rushed like when we worked with other agents. Communication has been extremely quick through Slack. Our offers were also prepared and sent out very quickly. We’ve also learned so much about the house-buying process from Fred since I started working with him. He’ll be the unbiased answer to any question you have. We’ll definitely keep working with Arrivva in the future.

Fred and his team are great for any experienced buyers who already know in/outs of the home-buying experience. Or otherwise, if you are going for new construction, then they are a perfect choice. We received our rebate in 2-3 days after closing without us asking for once. Fred is super responsive on slack, but you might have a hard time getting him on a call without scheduling an appointment (I am assuming he is dealing with a lot of people at once).

Amazing team of realtors and brokers. They know what they are doing. Fred was there with me throughout the closing and made sure we met the closing deadline.

This is how real estate should be! I have experience with both traditional buyer’s real estate agents and those offering rebates. First, if you know the area and know what you want, you definitely want to use a service that offers you a rebate at closing. Among these services, Arrivva is by far the best – full service with a fixed fee! When I first contacted Arrivva, Fred got back to me instantly, and we had a Zoom meeting the same day, also with Myda, who is local in WA. There is no upfront cost to start working with them. They have a showing agent who can show you properties, unlike other companies that are not, or they will charge you extra. On top of that, Arrivva has a fixed rate, so we received more cash back than we would have with other firms. What impressed us most was how efficient they were in communicating and being on top of the process from start to finish. They helped review the documents and gave us advice throughout the process. We like working with them much more than those traditional real estate agents, and we highly recommend their service if you’re looking to buy/sell your home.

We used Fred and his team to finalize an off-market sale of an income property. Fred was great every step of the way. Super responsive, knowledgeable and patient. You can tell Fred has spent a lot of time and energy identifying the inefficiencies that plague real estate transactions. As a result everything with Arrivva just seemed to work BETTER. But most importantly he got the job done and made the transaction as stress free (as possible) for me!

As second time homebuyers, Arrivva, Fred and Myda worked well for us. We bid on one property, and successfully closed the deal despite requiring fairly major concessions after the inspection. While we were going through this, there was never any pressure to complete the deal without us hitting our must-haves in the inspection negotiations with the seller. Fred is a good choice for someone who prefers to do their own property research, and doesn’t want an agent following you around to tell you where the bathroom is. Besides going to open houses, we toured 5-6 property via showing agents that arrivva hired, and this worked well. Fred is responsive via slack, and it wasn’t an issue to have a video chat or phone call when needed to clarify something. You do need to do your own research when it comes to what to bid, and Fred is very transparent about this. You also should carefully double-check any purchase contracts. In my experience, no agent is ever going to be a better advocate for your interests than you are, so this wasn’t a problem for us. I think at times Fred may be bit over-confident about his knowledge of the market in particular neighborhoods, but he does have a great high-level view of the market from doing such high volumes and knows how to put together competitive bids (and this isn’t just a high bid, but getting clean pre-approvals and fast closes.)

Great experience with Fred & the Arrivva team. This is the buying agent model of the future! First off, you do need to be willing to do a bit of your own legwork, as they aren’t local experts for every neighborhood in the state. But if you already know which neighborhood you want to purchase in, or even better, know which house you want to put an offer in on, and primarily need help around contracts and the closing process, it’s perfect. They communicate primarily via Slack, which is easy and quick, and a great way to store all important documents. We’re getting a check back from Arrivva for $34k! I can’t even imagine paying that much for the old school local model. Would use again.

Fred and Rene fit with our free style home search perfectly, we don’t need to find our dream home immediately and we are open minded to explore everything without preset image, although we know somewhat what we would like to have and enjoy. We tour open houses once awhile and run the potential candidates by them and they gave their honest opinions and feedbacks, they are very forthcoming to point out some things we might have ignored but could be important in the long term. After searching a challenging year for buyer, they patiently helped us finally bought one home Which ticks most of the boxes. They always put our best interest in heart and tried to navigate the very difficult market everyone is well aware of if you are a buyer. Now we can finally start to enjoy our new home. Thanks Fred and Rene!

He was extremely patient and solution oriented when some challenges (outside of his control) arose. He is an expert at understanding the financing market. He has multiple lenders he can turn to in order to ensure the customer gets the best rate possible. Outstanding experience.

After our first meeting I said, “the only thing I don’t understand is why everybody doesn’t use you.” I still don’t understand! I was initially worried Fred’s flat-fee model would mean flat-fee service, but I always felt like I was a highly valued client. Fred works in Slack where messages are usually answered or acknowledged within minutes. And when things get complicated he’s more than happy to hop on a call. Fred was always upfront and honest and gave amazing advice about our bid strategy. He and his team were always ahead of deadlines and made sure I was prepared as well. And the results speak for themselves: we put in the *lowest offer* and *won* against several higher bidders because we were able to give back the buyers fee (over $45k in value to the seller in our case!) What other agent can help you win bids while spending less money?! If you already plan to scour the listings and feel you have a handle on finding value in the market – go with Fred. He will be a great shepherd through all the legal stuff.

But beyond that I was pleasantly surprised by the prompt responses to any queries and just the whole communication process via Slack. No waiting for phone calls to be returned. All docs, pointers, Q/A in one place on the slack channel (rather than distributed across emails).

Fred and his Arrivva team were stellar. Fred took care of contracts and offered years of industry wisdom, while our agent Rene took care of the buying process and interfacing with the other parties.

They are super ethical, responsive, direct with observations, and are smart with technology in a way that saves me time and effort.

Would not recommend to a 1st time homebuyer that wants white glove, handholding service. However, if you’ve bought a place before, and take issue with the fact that agents make tens of thousands of dollars from your purchase, then look no further than Fred. This is the best deal on the market by far if your purchase price is more than 500K. In this day and age and armed with a plethora of excellent online tools you have all the information you need to find the place you want, visit it during open houses (with one of Fred’s local agent or not), and then electronically communicate to Fred with your offer details. Electronic signing of the offer in your inbox 30 min later and get back to other business. Rinse and repeat until you win a property. And you’ll get the support you need along the way as long as you ask the right questions. The process is driven by you, which means you have to do your own research. A lot of it, on many wide ranging topics related to real estate, and it’s going to take a long time. But since you’re going to do that anyway, isn’t it time that you should be (heavily) compensated for your time invested in the process at the close of escrow?

Fred is the best in the business. Fred helped with the purchase of the property. In this tough market of real estate, you need someone on YOUR side and Fred is the man! You will hear a lot of used sales car man speeches from the “traditional” (I call them “old fashioned”) real estate agents who pocket an insane amount of commission and really don’t have your best interest at heart. In a hot seller’s market there so call “negotiation skill” is limited to “bid more” (it’s not their money anyway). With Fred: – I like the transparency in fees (more power to YOU the buyer), efficient use of technology for communication, – his expertise in the whole real estate process, and – his straightforward and no-nonsense approach to real estate transactions.

Fred was perfect for our home purchase. He helped along the way, talked us through (as first time home buyers), and provided great value. Fred is available, great a communication, and helped guide us through a tough market. Fred is clear upfront on what he is able to deliver on, and particularly if you know how to use Zillow to find your home, Fred is effective and delivers strong value for the price.

Fred help me purchased my dream home. Fred is a long time resident and realtor of SF Bay and knows the area on the back of his hand. He provides honest insights on the homes we visited. The good but also the bad. His opinions are honest and he’s not like the kind of people(like 90% of the buyer agents) who sugar coats everything for a quick buck. Also in my case we had to deal with a highly difficult/incompetent title company, hired by the sellers agent. We were almost past the closing date but thankfully Fred take over and navigate thru all the parties and drove the communications. We eventually closed on time thanks to his proactive approach despite the ineffectual title company and he seller agent who just sat on the sideline watching me and the seller sweat. Last but not the least , as some one in tech, I like the way he always utilize modern technology like slack when handle communications and documents. Clean and organized. All that for a fraction of the price regular agents are charging. I will not hesitate use him again for future purchases.

I decided to use Fred because of his flat rate fee. This, when compared to paying the traditional listing agent’s fee of 3%, saved me tens of thousands of dollars! Fred spent a lot of time showing my home in a fairly short period of time, and did it without using an associate. Very personalized, full service treatment.

Worked with Fred for 5 months to buy a house in LA. He is based in SF but does cover the LA market. Fred was honest, friendly and patient to work with and very prompt at paying the commission rebate after close of escrow. We got $15k back in the rebate and this is probably the easiest $15k I will ever earn. There were some bumps on the road and you may not get the full service that you might get with a traditional agent e.g. we had no agent at any of our viewings. But this is a small cost to pay when you are getting a significant rebate that you would not normally get. In short, if you want to save a lot of money – especially if you are already somewhat familiar with the home buying process – then I would strongly recommend.

We recently bought a house with Fred and I would highly recommend him to others. If you are the kind of person who looks for houses on Zillow and Redfin and like to do your own research, Fred is the guy for you. In an industry where buying agents charge a hefty commission for essentially writing a contract Fred’s flat fee approach is refreshing and hopefully the future. Fred was very responsive throughout the process and was able to negotiate very well on our behalf. There were some hiccups during the buying process with the property visual inspection but Fred was able to negotiate with the sellers to get what we wanted fixed. When there were delays in getting things fixed post the sale Fred helped us talk to the seller’s agents and get that taken care of. At that point Fred probably didn’t have to help us as the deal was done, but he did and advised us of the best way to move forward. Overall, we were happy working with Fred. We got to see all the houses we wanted to see and were able to get a house which we wanted.

Fred is hands down the most honest, ethical, kind-hearted, and thoughtful professional in the real estate business. I interviewed over 30 brokers and agents prior to deciding to engage with Fred, and time and time again, he’s proved his worth many times over. It’s worth noting that he is frequently called on by CNBC to offer guidance on the state of the market and is licensed in 4 states – a rare feat for any broker or agent! First, you deal with him directly, and for someone who is as busy with clients as he is, you are treated as if you are his only client. Fred embraces technology like no other, but still understands the importance of a human connection and is always available for a chat or to provide insight, guidance, or feedback. He works tirelessly to make his clients happy and creatively identify ways to get you what you’re looking for with patience throughout the process. Second, and unlike most if not all other real estate “professionals” I have encountered over many years, Fred simply does not lie or misrepresent a fact in order to effect a sale. It’s just not in him – he’ll be honest to a fault at every part of the transaction, which is a very rare trait. Home or investment property buying is a major life decision and Fred does everything in his power to look at every angle and de-risk your investment in a way that is more reflective of a financial advisor. Unlike most other brokers and agents, he’s not looking to just make a sale and move on to the next client. He genuinely wants to teach and educate, as a caring family member (with expert knowledge) would do. Equally important here is that Fred’s counterparts on the other side of the table were often times incredibly rude, offensive, egotistical, and would do or say many false things in order to move toward an offer or sale. Fred dealt with this crop of difficult folks with poise and professionalism in a manner that impressed me every single time. He looks beyond the egos and focuses on the facts in a transparent fashion. He has a sense of perspective that I have never seen in the real estate business – do no harm. His commitment to open and honest communication and transparency is something I wish he could advise state boards on. Simply put, he’s seen it ALL. Been there, done that, in many states and territories so he knows the ins and outs in a way that surpasses the silly “local experts.” Fred is also a researcher and has available to him tons of public information about each and every area you’re looking in – most agents I spoke with were living in the stone age of technology and had no idea how their value was different except for nonsense speak like “full service” and “local expert” which really has no value. Remember, you don’t need to pay someone $50K to tell you if it’s a busy street and how good the schools are – it’s all easily determined yourself! My case was challenging as I had a very specific set of criteria in multiple geographic territories in coastal CA spanning 4 counties. Needless to say, very few if any local agents or brokers could have nailed this anywhere near as well as Fred, and he’ll be the single person I refer everyone to and the only person handling my transactions going forward. I highly recommend Fred with zero reservations and encourage “traditional agents” to learn kindness, fairness, professionalism, and economics from him as well. He is the best in the business!

Fred never asked our preferences or helped us searching a house and constantly said “comps don’t mean anything”. He is too busy to answer any questions and will most likely respond with “I don’t know, slack me!” to most of the questions like “When can we talk?” Or “is the house prized right” or “what would be a good amount to put an offer”. Imagine who would create a slack channel and will chuck their clients out of it just for asking questions about the very first offer they are going to make. My 2 cents, just to get a better refund, don’t put your self respect at stake! Edit: Writing a non contingent offer isn’t contractually impossible specially in a competitive market like this! Glad we got the last minute help from another realtor. Clients asking to write an offer should be considered serious buyers, they aren’t wasting time either and might have thought this through. Also we don’t believe chucking people out of the slack channel is a great way to terminate the contract.

Working with Fred was great. My wife and I started our search for a house back in July 2019. We did not have a specific city in mind at first, so Fred helped guide us through what each option had to offer, as well as what to expect on price. While we did not find a house that worked for us at that time (and put our search on hold for several months as a result), Fred was ready to jump right back in when restarted the process at the start of 2020. This ended up being the difference in us ultimately getting the house we purchased in February 2020. Because of Fred’s responsiveness and knowledge, my wife and I were able to beat out 17 other offers for the house we bought, with Fred moving fast to make sure our counter-offer would meet what the seller was looking for.

We submitted our initial forms and information through an online portal and communicated and submitted followup documents via Slack. All documents we signed using DocuSign. Fred’s compensation model is very different from other real estate brokers. He charged us a flat fee and returned the rest of his commission to us as a rebate. The flat fee is the same regardless of how long it takes to find a house or how much the house costs. It was great so get some money back at the end to use for furniture! When my husband and I found a house we liked and decided to put down an offer, Fred was on his way to Europe for a vacation and I was away on business.

Fred is an extraordinary real estate broker. We did almost all of our house search using saved searches on Zillow, and went to open houses as they came up. Fred set up a personal Slack channel for us so we could stay in touch and exchange links and documents. Once we decided to make an offer on a house, Fred took over the reins and guided us through the process through to closing. The internet, and especially MLS aggregators like this one, is changing the way people shop in the real estate market. Fred is the only agent/broker who is keeping up with the new way things are getting done. He supports buyers who are capable of and want to do their own home searches. He charges a flat fee, which aligns his incentives with yours, especially in these crazy Bay Area market conditions. He sets up a personal Slack channel for you, which is the perfect way to communicate and organize the inevitable mountain of documents that you pick up along the way. He’s super responsive. He’s a straight shooter. He’s a broker, which means he’s not an agent working for (and sharing commission with) a brokerage. You don’t get many opportunities to work directly with a broker. Unless you need an someone opening doors for you every weekend, you want Fred to be your buyer’s agent.

This was the best home buying/selling experience I have had. Fred and his team made the experience as easy and stress free as possible. Throughout the process I felt as if I was working with someone who was extremely competent and was one of the best in his profession. Fred is passionate about his job and the result is excellent service.

Fred’s the best! He really knows this town, block by block, and is on top of the market. Listens to what you’re looking for and won’t waste your time trying to sell you on properties that don’t fit your criteria. Super-quick response time, and hand-holding as necessary. We highly recommend him!

I was looking to purchase an affordable apartment for my daughter. Fred responded to my inquiry and suggested various alternatives but did recommend one. I purchased the recommendation and have been very happy with it. He represented my interests very well and kept my objective intact, which was to provide a decent and safe location for my daughter during her college experience. He established a personal relationship with me and was interested in creating a long lasting partnership.

I had an excellent experience with Fred Glick as my realtor. He helped me find my first house and because it was first time experiencing the Real Estate World I appreciated how patient and honest Fred was with me throughout the entire process. He was very knowledgable and did not hesitate to let me know when a house was not right for me whether it was price, neighborhood, structurally, ect. Lastly Fred has a great personality which helps because buying a house is stressful and a little comic relief is always appreciated.

Fred Glick is one of the most knowledgeable realtors in the Philadelphia region. He was very helpful to me in my quest to find a medium sized house in a very specific area. He is also one of the nicest people you would every want to meet. Kudos to Fred Glick!!!

My husband and I LOVE Fred. He’s hilarious, but he really knows his stuff. It’s rare that you meet a funny, personable AND passionate real estate/mortgage person. He lives and breathes this stuff and he makes the whole process seem not stressful at all. While our friends were pulling out hair buying houses, we felt this was so easy. Amazing what a good agent can do!

Fred has helped us find a place for three years in a row and I can’t recommend him highly enough. In fact, any time I know of someone in the area who is looking, I tell them to call Fred. Before we found him, we went through the typical process of searching independently while also using the brokers who pop up here and there but don’t ever follow up or find good properties – the process was a nightmare until we stumbled upon Fred one day and he started helping us. He has unrivaled local expertise and a great network among the other agents and property owners, not to mention good intuition to know what his clients would or wouldn’t be interested in. He’s also great about time management and making sure he respects his clients’ time. Without a doubt, go with Fred.

Nothing but great things to say about Fred–he has helped me with both sales and rentals. He has found excellent tenants twice for my rental property, both within 2 weeks of listing, at my asking rental price. His knowledge of the Philly market is extensive, and he has given me good advice in the past. Highly recommended.

Fred Glick help me not only get an apartment, but a safe apartment. Being new to the area, I didn’t know which neighborhoods to look at and was frustrated with other brokers until I met Fred who found me a trendy, affordable apartment in a great neighborhood.

Fred went above and beyond the call of duty at every step. He has tremendous local knowledge and was able to find me a property 1 block from Rittenhouse Square for approximately $250/square foot even though it normally costs at least $400/square foot in this neighborhood. He advised me on not only purchasing the property but also on refurbishing it (even to the point of taking me to places to buy furniture, countertops, new wood floors) even though most realtors consider the job done at the point of sale and are not concerned with what happens afterwards. I have recommended him to my colleagues and friends.

Fred is the finest Realtor in the Commonwealth. Once he decides to take you on as a client, you’ll be in great hands and will be dealing with the best, brightest, and most honest, the industry has to offer. He is a “superagent” by every definition.
