Compliments for Christopher Pickett
Highly likely to recommend
To be a homeowner (as a single woman-of-color-immigrant-lady boss-first-time-home-buyer) has always been a vaguely ludicrous, perhaps even completely unattainable dream. But, in 2017, Chris Picket helped turn that dream is reality. I had been searching and putting in offers in the LA area for 1.5 years before I met Chris. I would also making it to the top tier of the offers, but was inevitably muscled out by cash buyers. I felt I had no business calling Chris has he handles multi-million dollar properties and A-listers within the Hollywood community. Nevertheless, I called up Chris out of the blue and explained my situation. He said first-time homeowners were his favorite and that he wanted to help me find the right home. Chris is the type of business partner who listing agents really enjoy working with - he doesn't nag, he doesn't try to manipulate you and he's fair. He's calm, organized and doesn't lose his cool. So he's great to work with no matter which side of the table you're sitting on. Fundamentally, he helped me structure a winning deal that the buyer couldn't say no to and he's known as a closer. He and his staff were prompt and attentive to all my questions - which really helped move things along. Chris also happens to be exceptionally talented and a kind Real Estate Agent, who provided a quality experience and a good humored one. I wasn't traumatized, rather when I closed, I felt empowered.

Michelle was great! Knowledge supreme. She knows the market and areas you are looking for. She knows LA!! There were multiple offers on our house that we bought and she fought for us to get our home that we love. She’s awesome! Truly easy and kind!

Steven's attention to detail is exceptional. He's gracious with a wonderful sense of humor which made us feel comfortable while viewing the property.
Compliments for Tressana Alouane
Highly likely to recommend
Tressana is, simply put, in a league of her own. As a first-time homebuyer, I had a million questions, a million concerns, and a million different priorities – often in conflict – all of which could have driven many agents away. But with kindness, knowledge, passion, and honesty, Tressana was my unwavering advocate in finding, and eventually purchasing, the home of my dreams. She is thoughtful, smart, and inspires her clients to hone in on their most authentic house-hunting objectives, and with patience, commitment, and good cheer along the way, end up exactly where they should. Character and integrity along the way makes a huge difference in any sort of business, and Tressana has it in spades. I’m so grateful for her guidance throughout my purchase, and know that whenever the time comes for another real estate transaction, she’ll be the first person I call.
Compliments for Amy Davis
Highly likely to recommend
Contrary to the many horror stories of buying your dream house in Los Angeles, Amy Davis made our first-home purchase process stress-free and quick. She is the perfect combination of contradictions: book smart and street smart, laid-back but detail-oriented, attentive and patient. Over ten-years later, we still keep in touch with Amy and are definitely recruiting her expertise again as we get ready to sell that house she helped us buy in Laurel Canyon.
Compliments for Christopher Pickett
Highly likely to recommend
Chris is an absolute pro! I could not recommend him more highly. Buying/selling a house is such a sensitive process, and Chris brings a keen sense of strategy, strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail and clear communication to make clients feel comfortable through the inevitable ups and downs. Everyone who crossed paths with me also complimented me on his work. He brought 500% to the process. If you have a chance to work with him, don't miss it!
Compliments for Michelle Levin
Highly likely to recommend
Michelle has worked with my wife and I for over a year to find a home for our family of five, and the process has been nothing short of extraordinary. Not only does she know the LA market inside and out, but she responds immediately and enthusiastically to all correspondence as if she doesn’t have any other clients. On top of that, Michelle takes a creative approach to home buying to help her clients get into the home of their choice at terms that might not seem feasible at first glance. She has thought of and presented so many creative solutions to help us close on our home, and she has the relationships and negotiation savvy to actually make her great ideas come to fruition. Michelle is a true partner and the only person that we’ll ever work with in the LA market. We’ve only worked with her to buy, but when the day comes to sell she’ll definitely have our listing as well.
Compliments for Tressana Alouane
Highly likely to recommend
My family had worked with Tressana once before, but this was my first time working with her. She was always professional, helpful, and went above and beyond to help me get the property I wanted. I had the added wrinkle of being in Africa for the first 2 months of the home search and therefore couldn't be there to look at the houses myself or always be available a the right time. She worked with other members of my family to look through all of the homes and narrow them down to just the few she knew I would be interested in. She even put all of my forms online so that I could sign them electronically as I couldn't be there in person. She was a true expert and went above and beyond to find me the property I wanted. Plus, I got a very nice gift after the process was all done!
Compliments for Rick Tyberg
Highly likely to recommend
Thank you doesn't quite cut it, but we'll give it a try. Thank you for celebrating our new home with us, for selling our first "real" house, for the beautiful tequila, and of course your years of friendship. How did we get so lucky?! Love and good vies to the end of time!
Compliments for Tressana Alouane
Highly likely to recommend
Tressana helped me purchase my first home. I would have been completely lost without her. She goes above and beyond for her clients and always has their best interests at heart. She is honest, hard-working, and genuine. She was always available when I needed her and responded in a timely manner. She has a lot of knowledge and expertise of the west side and could pinpoint the weaknesses and red flags of a property. Once my offer was accepted, she was even there during some minor inspections that I was unable to go to because I was out of town at the time. I would recommend her to any friend and will definitely be calling on her in the future for any other purchases or sales.

Oliver was fantastic and really understands the Los Angeles real estate market. Having been to many open houses, we choose Oliver because he was personable and intelligent and I felt like he really engaged well with potential buyers (so many other agents are not as friendly and I wouldn't want them selling my house). He made the whole selling process from start to finish seamless. We had a lot of balls in the air and Oliver was great at juggling our needs- both financial and family (we did not want to uproot our family without a place to go). Additionally, Oliver and his team helped set up our home for showing and a photo shoot and did a great job marketing it. Oliver was also very strategic but ensured that both my husband and I were comfortable with the strategy. Within the first 48 hours after showing, we had 12 offers. We have local aggressive real estate agents on the buy side and he stayed very professional and maintained effective working relationships with everyone. In the end, we got 14% over asking and on got more dollars per square foot basis compared to other homes the same size in our proximity. The other benefit to working with Oliver is that he responds to you directly over phone or email- whatever you choose. He is easy to reach and you do not need to go through assistants to get to him- which is not the norm. He did a great job on the sale of our home and even helped advise us on the buy side. We had already committed to another agent for the buy side of our transaction. However, the transaction was very complicated and Oliver was able to help us navigate through to maximize our benefits and minimize our risks. I would wholeheartedly recommend Oliver without reservation and would definitely use him in our next transaction.
Compliments for Lori Michelle Marks

We highly recommend Lori! Her positive attitude, extensive real estate knowledge, and dedication to our needs set her apart from the rest and we write this with pleasure! We cannot recommend her enough; she was able to see around corners and negotiate a deal that was beyond our wildest dreams. She is excellent at what she does and we feel very lucky she represented us. We will use her again.
