Client Testimonials
Compliments for Mark Douglas
Highly likely to recommend
I have worked with Mark in the buying and selling of three properties. Mark was proactive in his approach to locating a home for us, many times finding a match for us before it was on the market. He is clearly well respected by his peers, allowing for smooth working relationships before and during the escrow process. He was very patient through our searches and part of our team all along the way.
Compliments for Guy Hector
Highly likely to recommend
Being a designer/builder, I have had the privilege of having met numerous agents, acting on my behalf, listing and selling my work. Guy is presently the selling agent of my choice. He takes the time to completely understand all the attributes the home offers. He is very professional and personal with interested parties and takes the time to guide and explain the project to its fullest. I have complete trust and confidence in Guy Hector, representing my work.
Compliments for Steven Dubin
Highly likely to recommend
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 Russell Dunn
Highly likely to recommend
This is a second review for Russell, since this time I was a seller. Honestly, just save yourself any further trouble/searching - Russell is the agent you MUST have, no matter which side of a transaction you are on. More than anything else, he tells you the truth and gives you his honest opinion. What he tells you is NOT based on the commission; It's what he believes in his heart, because he looks at the long game and knows that repeat clients and constant referrals are the key to success.
Compliments for Steven Dubin
Highly likely to recommend
Steven helped us navigate a rather complicated negotiation which required a level-headed realtor with extensive knowledge of the market and purchase process. Despite many hurdles and challenges, we closed on our home thanks to Steven's unparalleled expertise. If you are looking for a seasoned professional to help you buy or sell a home, my wife and I cannot recommend Steven enough.
Compliments for Michele Moses
Highly likely to recommend
Michele is the best! She really helped me and my roommates understand the lease process and was also fun to work with. She was very patient and really connected to what we were looking for. She found us a great lease and at the price we wanted. Michele was also looking out for us the whole way and got the landlord to make some much needed repairs and updates to the unit which was beyond our expectations. I know I will absolutely use her for all my real estate needs in the future and highly recommend her.
Compliments for Tressana Alouane
Highly likely to recommend
Tressana was our Listing Agent for our home in Mandeville Canyon. She is an amazing blend of knowledge and integrity. She guided us deftly through the whole process from preparation to sale. She was a real joy to work with, tirelessly answering every question. Our home sold in 10 days with multiple offers, well above the average for the neighborhood, and above what we dreamed we might get. Her professionalism and expertise is what made this possible. Her guidance through all the paperwork was timely and sensitive while her conscientiousness and pleasant personality removed significant pain from the process. We highly recommend Tressana.
Compliments for Tressana Alouane
Highly likely to recommend
Tressana was extremely helpful at all stages of the selling process. She totally organized the preparation of the house for sale, which turned out to be a complicated process because of the accumulation of 20 years of clutter, and transformed it into a bright and attractive property. She has a great range of important contacts when it came to the contractors we required for repairs - electricians, painters, stagers, and tradesmen of all kinds - and she was always on top of them to make sure the work was done in a timely way, and was done properly and thoroughly. She was not just trying to make the place just superficially more attractive, but respectful of the needs of the buyer too. The marketing process, including the photography and all aspects of the listing, were perfect. She knows all the relevant regulations inside out and was 100% correct in all her estimates of how things needed to move forward. She was tactful and honest and forthright in her negotiations with potential buyers and kept us in the loop at every step. Her judgment about the timing of the sale and the offering price proved to be totally sound and the net result was that we sold it for quite a bit above the asking price in a matter of a few days after it was listed. She was so thorough in her presentation of the property that the escrow proceeded with no contingencies and was closed within the projected time frame. On top of all this, she is simply a delightful and personable realtor who really goes out to bat for her clients and goes above and beyond in her efforts to serve them.
Compliments for Mark Douglas
Highly likely to recommend
We had the good fortune of working with Mark Douglas to purchase our first home. We were relocating from New York City with three small children and Mark was our man on the ground. Mark’s guidance helped us figure out exactly what we were looking for in a neighborhood and a home. When the perfect opportunity arose, Mark acted swiftly to make sure we did not miss out. He negotiated a phenomenal deal and put our family in the perfect place. He is honest, hard-working, knowledgeable and can be trusted. He is so much more than an agent to us, he’s a great friend.
Highly likely to recommend
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 Pia Wolfe
Highly likely to recommend
Pia and Rick are a formidable force that you want on your side when it comes to home realty. We were first time home buyers and it was their knowledge, professionalism, and energy that helped us land our beautiful home. Their teamwork is perfection. Rick provides real time data, is extremely detail oriented and also an experienced home appraiser. Pia listened to our story, helped us look for a family community and would go so far as talk to neighbors to learn more. They were with us each step of the process, and allowed us to confidently buy in an extremely high pressure market. In fact, we were able to obtain instant equity. We could not be more thankful and happy with our first home purchase.
Compliments for James D. Likens
Highly likely to recommend
Our family are so thankful for the work done by James. We really enjoyed working with him, he did such an amazing job. Incredibly responsive, and made the entire process so easy for us. I really couldn't recommend James more to all of our friends and family that are looking to sell or buy a home.
