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 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 Tressana Alouane
Highly likely to recommend
Tressana was extremely pleasant to deal with. Not only did she know the details of the real estate market in my area, but she was very responsive and always answered my calls immediately or returned them within hours. She has been helpful even after the closing of escrow! I will definitely seek her out for my real estate needs in the future!
Compliments for Mark Douglas
Highly likely to recommend
Mark has been incredible to work with. He really took the time to understand our needs and desires. We spent a long time viewing homes and understanding the market and NEVER ONCE felt pressure from him. He made us feel like finding the right home for our family was his only goal. Once found, his negotiating advice was solid. I have already recommended Mark to close friends and associates looking to understand the Westside Real Estate market.
Compliments for Steven Roffer
Highly likely to recommend
Steven did an excellent job negotiating my home purchase in West Los Angeles, given the extremely competitive market and difficulty EVEN finding a home in this market, he was able to meet my requests and criteria, locate and property, and close all in under 30 days. This is a nearly impossible feat in this market. I will definitely be recommending him to others and using him again.
Compliments for Steven Dubin
Highly likely to recommend
Patience and good humor. When we didn't know exactly what we were looking for. Discernment. Steven figured out what we were looking for before we did. Success. When we all understood and he found it.
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.
Compliments for Steven Dubin
Highly likely to recommend
Steven is a fantastic person to work with. He's always honest, he will never take his client to see something that he believes is not a good investment. When you work with Steven he treats you the same way he would want to be treated. It's hard to find an agent who is so honest and open like him in LA.
Compliments for Rick Tyberg
Highly likely to recommend
If I can sum up Rick Tyberg in one sentence, it would be ON THE BALL. Rick is a guy who knows what he's doing and doesn't leave a single stone un-turned. In our transaction with Rick, his attention to detail saved our bacon on more than one occasion, as we were dealing with a buyer's agent who kept trying to sneak little extra things into the contract; when he called them out, they tried it again in a different way, but once again Rick was there with a fine tooth comb to make sure our interests were protected. Rick's lived in LA his entire life and knows the market, so his wealth of knowledge was incredibly helpful. Above all of that, he makes the process fun and enjoyable along the way, while also ensuring you get the best possible deal. I'd recommend Rick in a heartbeat.
Compliments for Pia Wolfe
Highly likely to recommend
Rick & Pia went above and beyond in helping sell my home. They helped in giving advice about remodeling and even went as far as talking to the contractors for me. Rick’s expertise in studying comps as an appraiser helped in strategizing how to market my home which got me almost 10% over asking. Their service and knowledge was outstanding and they are my Real Estate Advisors from now on.
Compliments for Mark Douglas
Highly likely to recommend
We have known Mark Douglas since buying our first home in Bel Air almost 8 years ago. Mark came to us through a trusted referral source and has evolved from being our agent to a great, personal friend. He continues to assist us with our housing needs. The prime, Westside Residential Real Estate business has run in Mark’s family blood for decades and being indigenous to the neighborhoods makes him an ideal asset whether you are buying, selling or simply prospecting. Personally, we really enjoy Mark’s company, as he has been a friend first, transactional second….and that is hugely appreciated.
