Compliments for Tressana Alouane

Highly likely to recommend

- Peter C.

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 Amy Davis

Highly likely to recommend

- Sean S.

My husband and I had always dreamed of having a second home in Maui, however with the market being 2000 miles away it seemed too daunting — until we enlisted Amy. Not only did she locate our dream property, she handled all of the logistics, which can be challenging given the complexities of real estate rules and laws on the island. Amy handled everything, making what proved to be a rather complex process a breeze for us. We’re grateful for her.

Highly likely to recommend

- Andy P.

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.

Compliments for Michele Moses

Highly likely to recommend

- Hugh K.

Michele is a true professional and a genuine person who is a joy to work with on a day to day basis. She is balanced in her assessments of value and worked hard to deliver a great end result above the list price and immediate comps. She brought her experience, judgment, relationships with staging companies and contractors, and consistent hard work throughout the process. Michele managed the entire sale process on the ground in LA as I am based in the NYC and she proved completely dependable and trustworthy. She provided frequent communication along the way and worked with me to make key decisions in partnership at key junctures. Once the contract was signed, she worked closely with the buyer side, their inspectors and contractors and managed the process during escrow to get us efficiently to the closing. She will be an amazing asset and a great partner to have during a sale or buying process.

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.

Compliments for Josie Davis

Highly likely to recommend

- Jack F.

We met Josie about six months ago at an open house and she impressed us with her knowledge and approach to selling a home. We decided to ask her to list our home and she did a wonderful job while representing us through the process.Her communications were frequent and supportive of our expectations. Her personality and ability to be persistent while remaining pleasant and professional we believe made a material difference in a successful sale.

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 Tressana Alouane

Highly likely to recommend

- Chris H - Senior VP NBC Universal Theatrical

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.

07/11/2017 - Jonathan W.

I highly recommend using Josie as your real estate agent. She went above and beyond in helping me not only secure the home that I wanted but in making sure that I got the best deal possible. She proactively suggested and negotiated several critical amenities/terms on my behalf, and continued to remain involved and highly accessible post-close to ensure that all the agreed-upon conditions were being met. She was always extremely responsive to calls, texts and emails, and reacted quickly to resolve any unexpected issues that arose. And on top of all that, she's very genuine and easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate in using her again or recommending her to friends/family/colleagues.

The owner died in the premises and, as trustee, I had to HAZMAT clean it up and then update the entire premises including repairs required by HAZMAT. Tressana was both able and willing to guide the work requirements, remodel etc. Then, when she listed the condo, it was sold in less than a week for all cash, AS IS. A wonderful result at a price higher than market in the area for recent sales.

Compliments for Rick Tyberg

Highly likely to recommend

- Adam W., Los Angeles

Rick is a professional in every sense of the word. When purchasing my current home not only was he able to find the property that fit exactly what we were looking for. He was instrumental in negotiating with the previous owner and lowering the price significantly. In my estimates Rick saved us approximately 20% from what our property was listed for.
