Compliments for Tressana Alouane

This is the second real estate transaction I have done with Tressana. She is simply the best. This one was a purchase of a vacation rental property in Palm Springs. Her knowledge of the market was only surpassed by her ability to find the absolute best people in the dessert - from inspectors, to property managers, to city officials - she worked hard to make sure each person we interacted with was on top of their game. Tressana treated my purchase as if it was her own. She goes over and above. The sellers agent even commented that one of the reasons our offer was accepted was because of how professionally it was presented. He knew how easy she would be to work with simply from the offer! The purchase was smooth and Tressana was available through every step. I highly 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.

Tressana was amazing. She's so personable yet incredilbly professional. Every step of the process of the sale of our home was thoroughly explained and took all the worry out of the process. Everyone she recommended - from painters to stagers were the absolute best of the best. And, while we were sad to sell our first home together, she guided us through every offer and counter offer with empathy and ease. I highly recommend her to everyone!

Michelle sold our estate in Encino in one day! She is an incredible agent , dedicated, and hard working. She walked us through the process of everything with such kindness, knowledge, and made the sale of our family home an easy project. I would highly recommend Michelle to any of my family, friends or work colleagues. She had the right buyers, and is so incredibly honest. I can't thank her enough for making the sale of our home a class act.

Compliments for Russell Dunn

Highly likely to recommend

- Neil S.

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.

I met Steven over a year ago, when I started looking at buying a property, and he has been extremely helpful, knowledgable, responsive and patient throughout this process. We closed escrow just over a month ago, and I felt so at ease and comfortable throughout, as Steven guided me through each step in the process, and always responded to my questions/concerns promptly. Steven has been in the field for decades and his professionalism, expertise and work ethic is apparent. Steven and his assistants are excellent and I highly recommend them! Thank you!

We highly recommend him as a realtor and expert on local properties and markets.

Thank you Tressana, Thanks to Tressana’s professional approach we sold our condominium in Woodland Hills very quickly. Her real estate knowledge paid off extremely well, even during pandemic concerns. Also, she cooperated with the buyer’s agent to make the transaction very smooth. In the past she helped us to buy a house, our primary residence in Santa Monica. A few years later she assisted us in purchasing a condo. Every time we needed real estate help, we were very confident that her expertise would be right for us. We always appreciate all her suggestions and recommendations. Her warm personality and honesty makes her a very special person, and we are proud to be friends with her.

We have had the pleasure of knowing Tressana for years so when it came time to sell our home we knew just who to call. Tressana made the process easy, enjoyable and kept us well-informed. We additionally were attempting to sell our home during the COVID lockdown with a contingency deal hanging in the balance. Needless to say it all worked out and Tressana made it happen. We would recommend her to anyone considering selling or purchasing. Great experience, great person.

I would give my highest recommendation to Oliver and his partner Elizabeth. They helped my wife and I find the perfect home. We were drawn to Oliver because of his character, honesty and professionalism. Over the several months we spent looking at many houses together, my wife and I never felt rushed or pushed into buying a home we did not love. Once we found our perfect home, Oliver and Elizabeth were there every step of the way from the initial negotiations till closing. Throughout the entire process, we felt like Oliver had our best interest in mind and negotiated strenuously on our behalf. Buying a home in Los Angeles can be daunting and overwhelming task. Dealing with Oliver and Elizabeth was a breath of fresh air. Knowing they were in our corner alleviated much stress and allowed for a wonderful home buying experience.

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.

Steven Dubin sold my home quickly and efficiently, with zero drama! He then showed me houses that met all my requirements and was so patient with all my questions. He was incredibly respectful and took the time to walk me through every step of the home buying/selling process. He was also impressively knowledgable about selling a home and when buying, he knew about each neighborhood, and shared his keen understanding of architecture and building, which was so helpful. He was also delightful company and a pleasure to spend time with (he always had refreshments in his car on hot days!). I strongly recommend Steven Dubin when buying or selling a home!
