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.

We were incredibly impressed with the job that Mark did for us. He handled both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new one. On the sale, he developed a very successful strategy that produced ten bids and maximized our sale price. On our purchase, he took the time to learn what we wanted, was proactive in showing us properties in a very tight market, and helped us emerge with a very desirable house after negotiating well on all of our deal points. We would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat.
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 Michelle Levin
Highly likely to recommend
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 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
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!
Compliments for Rachel Rocconi
Highly likely to recommend
Rachel is a textbook example of what makes for a great buyer's agent. We were first-time homebuyers and also looking at properties remotely. Rachel turned out to be the first and only agent we worked with and guided us confidently throughout the whole process. Once we had our eyes set on a property, Rachel really made us feel comfortable and helped us strategize on placing competitive offers. Afterwards, we really relied on Rachel as we were mostly remote during the escrow process. She coordinated all inspections, made numerous trips to the property in our place, and overall was extremely communicative. Most importantly, Rachel somehow seemed to be always available and easy to reach. I frankly never expected to get so much attention. Even after we closed, she continued to follow-up and offer help in coordinating repairs that were negotiated in the offer. I would not hesitate for one second to recommend Rachel.

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!
Compliments for Michele Moses

Michele is a world class agent. She is a delight to work with in what is usually a mind numbing experience. Having gone into the process of home searching alone would have been a nightmare. Michele was able navigate the landscape with ease and help keep our nerves at bay as she helped find the home of our dreams!
Compliments for Mark Douglas
Highly likely to recommend
My family and I have used Mark for several real estate transactions (7 to be exact). Each property had unique circumstances and covered areas ranging from Sacramento, Culver City, Westchester and Pacific Palisades. In every situation, Mark knew the landscape and how to negotiate. He had contacts and connections at every location and guided us through several contingencies and multiple escrows in order to close deals that were fair and beneficial to our family. Many of these transactions were achieved while our family was dealing with significant unforeseen circumstances, and Mark not only acted in our best interest, but also as a friend during some difficult times. Without reservation, I would recommend Mark for all of your real estate needs and witness for yourself the level of professionalism and integrity. Whether selling or purchasing a home, Mark has proven time and again that he is up to the task and will provide excellent, personal and knowledgeable service
Compliments for Steven Roffer

Throughout the past several months, Steven has been there every step of the way. He has always answered every call or email no matter what time of day or night it was. His professionalism, mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. I never felt that he was just trying to sell me a house, but that he was a mentor to answer my questions and help me to make the best decision for my family. I would highly recommend Steven to anyone that is searching for a new home or Selling. Thanks again to Steven Roffer and his wonderful team for being such a pleasure to work with.

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!
