A native of Mexico, Luhanda Garvin comes to Gibson International with a background in property management. She has a great deal of experience in understanding contracts, transactions and the many details that go into the sales and leasing process.
Luhanda was drawn to residential real estate because she enjoys working with people and the connections she makes. “I find it very exciting and work hard to be proactive on behalf of my clients,” she says. “Owning a home is one of the most important purchases a person will ever make, so I listen and get to know my clients in order to learn their needs and lifestyle. I am here to ensure they are completely satisfied with the process and find a home that is a great fit for them.”
Luhanda’s fluency in both English and Spanish is an advantage to clients, particularly as more international buyers enter the market. Her bilingual skills can provide an additional comfort level to both buyers and sellers, and are invaluable when it comes to marketing and showing a property, and during negotiations and closing.
A resident of Santa Monica, Luhanda is well networked and familiar with the area’s schools and neighborhoods. Married to a geologist, she is the mother of two young girls.

Highly likely to recommend - I'm a first time home buyer and I am so glad I went with Luhanda as my agent. She is incredibly sharp and knowledgeable about the industry and knows exactly what to do to serve her clients. However, on top of that (and most importantly because I found this was a rare commodity in real estate) she is incredibly honest and upfront. She always looked out for my best interest (which a lot of agents will not do especially when a seller's agent tries to represent both you and the seller) and she used all of her agency's resources and knowledge to make sure I got exactly the result I wanted. She was extremely patient with me throughout my house search and made millions of phone calls (never once being annoyed or bothered) and diligently helped me find my dream home. On top of all the work that was required to find me my "dream home," she did everything in her power to help me get through an incredibly difficult escrow. I can happily report that I am currently typing this review in my dream home that I got for a reasonable price all because Luhanda moved fast in putting in the right offer, counter-offer, etc. She will take care of everything for you and hold your hand through every step - which is incredibly important to anyone who is intimidated by the process. I'm an attorney and I thought I knew how to handle the piles of paperwork involved in a real estate transaction but I was completely wrong and I could not have done it without Luhanda. I realized how important it was to have someone on your team who is looking out for you interest throughout this process. One last thing I can say about Luhanda is that she is an incredibly honest and nice person who makes you feel comfortable but she does not leave her "bite" at home. She's fiery and will quickly call up anyone trying to take advantage or overcharge you throughout this process. The escrow company, the mortgage company, the inspectors, agent on the other side, all have money to be made from the buyers and sellers of a home so it is so important that someone is looking out for your well being and of course your pocket book! I whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent - you will not be sorry!

Highly likely to recommend - Luhanda is not just an amazing realtor, she's a stager with great taste, a helpful "right hand" at times of stress (she even helped me pack up boxes for the move & coordinated a handy man & plumber to fix a few things) and trustworthy advisor (always looked out for my best interest-not hers). This is just a few examples of how much Luhanda went the extra mile for me, exceeding expectations in every category! I recommend Luhanda 100% and will use her services in the near future :)
