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 Tressana Alouane
Highly likely to recommend
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.
Compliments for Steven Roffer
Highly likely to recommend
Steven was able to help us find and purchase a new home and sell our current home (including staging, listing, marketing and emotional support!) in a matter of 4 months. Un-heard of. Steven is a man of high standards, is passionate about his work and making sure that his clients are taken care of and their needs are met. We highly recommenced him for your real estate needs.

Dan was AMAZING! He was very knowledgeable of all the areas we looked at including the best restaurants and coffee shops that I could walk to. I must have asked him 50 questions and he had an answer for all of them. He even held my dog while we were touring properties! I will definitely use him in the future and have recommended him to my closest friends.
Compliments for Steven Dubin
Highly likely to recommend
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!
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 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.

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 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 Tressana Alouane
Highly likely to recommend
My wife and I bought a condo as our first income property, and Tressana made it a great first experience as she was quick and knowledgeable professional that was ready to make it the best she could at a moments notice. She had a professional bearing but was always friendly. Her detailed understanding of the contract and requirements gave us the confidence to make the right decision in a timely way. She also found an excellent real estate inspector that helped verify the propertys conditions. Her excellent work helped to clear the way to a satisfying real estate purchase. Mariola and Christopher
Compliments for Pia Wolfe
Highly likely to recommend
We started looking for homes when the pandemic started and could not find anything we liked. The one home my wife liked had just gotten into escrow. Pia stayed in touch with the listing agent and we got the property on the same day it fell out of escrow and her persuasive methods helped us in not having to compete to get the home. Rick’s knowledge in Appraising & Construction was extremely helpful during the negotiation and inspection process. He was tedious at negotiating price and every single item in the inspection report. They are a powerful duo in the real estate industry and any client will be in the best hands.
Compliments for Steven Dubin

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.
