Compliments for Tressana Alouane
Highly likely to 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.

I’ve had the pleasure of having Michelle represent me. She is an incredibly smart, organized and dynamite go-getter. She takes the time to listen and truly understand her client’s feelings and concerns, and then skillfully works toward the desired goal in a manner that works for you.

Selling a house can be overwhelming and stressful, but Oliver and Elizabeth make it as simple as possible. They are prompt, communicative, professional and savvy. They helped us stage and massively declutter our home. Elizabeth, who has an amazing eye for staging, helped with placement of furniture, decorative items and lighting. Oliver brought in a gardening team that not only artfully pruned and weeded, but did light masonry work to fix and widen our brick walkway, added a drip line to make our yard completely irrigated, and added plants to fill in areas and add color. These efforts helped the appearance and increased the value of our home. By the end, our home looked far more spacious, inviting, cleaned up and ready for a photo shoot worthy of a magazine piece. They know exactly how to price a house. Our home sold quickly and at a price that far surpassed our expectations. We placed the price higher than I imagined we would and ended up with an offer far above asking. Additionally, when the buyers inspection was complete, Oliver was able to negotiate in our favor. Oliver and Elizabeth presented a time line explaining the entire process from start to finish. There was never a snag or unexpected event. All paper work was filed promptly and all emails and phone calls returned immediately. What can be an emotional process remained very simple and low key. They are delightful, considerate and intelligent people that made the experience as easy as one could imagine. Make the right choice and hire them! You will be happy you did.

Tressana is a great agent. Unlike other agents I used prior to Tressana she personally showed my condo to prospective buyers rather than just having the buyers agent show it. I would highly recommend her if you are serious about wanting to sell your property. I'm sure she will be just as professional and dedicated if she is representing you as a buyer.

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.
Compliments for Josie Davis

She did a great job negotiating and keeping me in the loop, went so far as to be working at 11pm reviewing contracts with me. It was a difficult process finding the perfect home and she helped me get one I truly love.
Compliments for Tressana Alouane
Highly likely to recommend
Tressana is extremely pleasant and greets you with a smile. She represented me on a dual agency lease deal. She is very responsive, always answered my calls/texts, and available to accommodate my schedule. She has been so helpful. I called her about the property only seconds after it came on the market and she not only answered my phone call and my questions but accommodated to show me the place in less than 24 hours. Tressana took pride in representing me and truly made me feel that she cares deeply for her clients. She is the person to get you ahead of the real estate game, work to get you the deal and seal it with a smile.

Selling your house in LA is easy. Selling your house in LA and getting the best deal possible - not so easy. The best part of working with Oliver is that he can steer the ship around all the pitfalls that cost you time and money. Buying and selling real estate is always a give and take, but without good representation - you'll be giving - a lot. We were very happy in our case. We finished above asking price and in record time. I estimate we had a 50% shorter start to close time than the average home sale in LA right now. So we finished quickly and didn't come off asking to do it. Oliver is a great deal maker and strong negotiator with solid relationships. Unless you're a real estate pro yourself, I would recommend you partner with Oliver on your next transaction. Oliver will position your home for the most expedient sale, get you max value, and do it all with minimum headaches for you. I recommend this agent.
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 Christopher Pickett
Highly likely to recommend
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 Mark Douglas
Highly likely to recommend
We had the good fortune of working with Mark Douglas to purchase our first home. We were relocating from New York City with three small children and Mark was our man on the ground. Mark’s guidance helped us figure out exactly what we were looking for in a neighborhood and a home. When the perfect opportunity arose, Mark acted swiftly to make sure we did not miss out. He negotiated a phenomenal deal and put our family in the perfect place. He is honest, hard-working, knowledgeable and can be trusted. He is so much more than an agent to us, he’s a great friend.

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!
