Dan was great! He was always on time to every showing we went to and very polite. He communicated and updated me constantly with new information throughout the entire process. He explained things very clearly to me when I was confused or foggy about certain tactics or information. He would go into detail of his strategies and break it down for me when I asked why he was saying this or that. I had no idea real estate was so complex!

Compliments for Josie Davis

Highly likely to recommend

04/25/2017 - John B.

I had been looking for a place for several weeks, when I came across a townhouse listed with Josie Davis. My schedule was very busy at the time, so Josie rearranged her schedule to show me the unit. Although the unit fit my needs, there were a few items that would prevent me from signing the paperwork. One of the items was parking for a long wheel base SUV, that I use for work. The available parking would not fit my personal vehicle, along with the SUV. Josie worked several days to find alternative parking that I would be satisfied with. She actually found a great space, at no additional charge, for me. I can't say enough about her attentiveness, punctuality, and work ethic. I am sure that I would still be looking for the perfect place if it weren't for Josie. If I were allowed to give 10 stars, I definitely would.

Compliments for Christopher Pickett

- Mamta

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 Michelle Levin

Highly likely to recommend

- Jaelyn J.

We initially met Michelle by chance as she was the listing agent working on a property that sparked our interest. How lucky we were! Michelle worked tirelessly to help us find the right starting home for our upcoming relocation to LA. She was always responsive, highly knowledgeable about the area and really listened to our needs and priorities. Michelle understands that buying or leasing a home is about more than simply finding a place to live – she has truly gone above and beyond, both to ensure we found a house we loved and also to add context and make connections related to all of the broader community considerations that really help to make a new city or new neighborhood begin to feel like home. Michelle is really exceptional and we look forward to staying in touch and working with her again.

Compliments for Josie Davis

Highly likely to recommend

- Huntington Union

Josie made a deal happen that I didn’t think would make it. She found me a multi unit building that was off market. She handled the complex and stressful deal in a calm and logical manner and protected my interest every step of the way. The other agent was very difficult and the escrow officer was slow and didn’t do a good job. Josie stayed on top of them and managed to push through the circus of a deal. We had squatters on the property and Josie did everything needed and beyond, to get every piece of documentation we needed to be protected. I didn’t think the deal could close. Every day I thought it was over but she pushed and was very thorough in her paperwork. She also recommended I start drinking Chamomile tea for my stress! She calmed me down and I got a great deal on the building. She is definitely a bulldog. She was attentive to everyone involved in the transaction and made the impossible, possible.

Dan was a huge help in helping me purchase my first home and made the process super easy! I was travelling across the globe when escrow opened, and Dan was willing to help me make sense of all of the craziness of escrow and was always there to answer all of my questions, even while I was 9 hours ahead. I could not have done this process without him. Thank you Dan!

As a first time homebuyer Chris made the process very easy for me. It was a seller's market at the time but I still feel Chris helped me get a great deal on my place. I provided only 3 requirements of the home and he met them all. Was very respectful of my time and did not send me properties outside of criteria. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated individual to work with.

James was great! This was my first home purchase and I was very new to the process. He made me feel I was the number one priority at all times. He made all the effort to get us in to see new listings quickly and even found a couple that were not on the market. His communication and industry knowledge were incredibly impressive and made the entire process so easy! Big thank you to James and his support team!

- Meg B.

I first met Chris by calling one of his listings in the Hollywood Hills. A couple years later Chris sold my house in the Hills and helped me buy my house in Orange County. During that process, Chris was not only impressive on his knowledge of the area but also on his true partnership he forms with clients. He is super transparent and does not over promise but does over deliver! Over the course of this time and beyond, Chris became a trusted and respected friend of mine. I have not become friends with folks in real estate deals - Chris is a special case!

Compliments for Tressana Alouane

Highly likely to recommend

- Dr. Olivia C

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 Rick Tyberg

Highly likely to recommend

- Josh & Liz B., Toluca Lake

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.
