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.

Lori is one of a kind. My family had been really struggling to sell our family beach home. In the midst of lawyers, previous agents misinformation, and family chaos, Lori was able to clear up any misconceptions we had. We look forward to Lori getting this house sold for us. Thank you for your above and BEYOND work ethic and your never failing responsiveness!

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.

Being a designer/builder, I have had the privilege of having met numerous agents, acting on my behalf, listing and selling my work. Guy is presently the selling agent of my choice. He takes the time to completely understand all the attributes the home offers. He is very professional and personal with interested parties and takes the time to guide and explain the project to its fullest. I have complete trust and confidence in Guy Hector, representing my work.

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.

My family had worked with Tressana once before, but this was my first time working with her. She was always professional, helpful, and went above and beyond to help me get the property I wanted. I had the added wrinkle of being in Africa for the first 2 months of the home search and therefore couldn't be there to look at the houses myself or always be available a the right time. She worked with other members of my family to look through all of the homes and narrow them down to just the few she knew I would be interested in. She even put all of my forms online so that I could sign them electronically as I couldn't be there in person. She was a true expert and went above and beyond to find me the property I wanted. Plus, I got a very nice gift after the process was all done!

I am a very busy person and not a lot of patience, so looking for a house to rent is not an experience I look forward to. Josie made it easy. She only showed me houses she thought I would like, and once we found the house she worked hard to get me the rental price I felt good about. In addition, she made herself available every time I called which was great.
Compliments for Pia Wolfe
Highly likely to recommend
Rick & Pia went above and beyond in helping sell my home. They helped in giving advice about remodeling and even went as far as talking to the contractors for me. Rick’s expertise in studying comps as an appraiser helped in strategizing how to market my home which got me almost 10% over asking. Their service and knowledge was outstanding and they are my Real Estate Advisors from now on.

We have known and worked with Oliver for the past 9 years. During that time we have bought a home, rented a guest house, rented the home, and recently sold the home with Oliver. We continue to work with Oliver on investment property over the greater LA area. He has a combination of good personal sense and business sense. He has worked with integrity and speed. We highly recommend him as a realtor and expert on local properties and markets.
Compliments for Michelle Levin
Highly likely to recommend
Michelle has worked with my wife and I for over a year to find a home for our family of five, and the process has been nothing short of extraordinary. Not only does she know the LA market inside and out, but she responds immediately and enthusiastically to all correspondence as if she doesn’t have any other clients. On top of that, Michelle takes a creative approach to home buying to help her clients get into the home of their choice at terms that might not seem feasible at first glance. She has thought of and presented so many creative solutions to help us close on our home, and she has the relationships and negotiation savvy to actually make her great ideas come to fruition. Michelle is a true partner and the only person that we’ll ever work with in the LA market. We’ve only worked with her to buy, but when the day comes to sell she’ll definitely have our listing as well.
Compliments for Ernie Carswell

Ernie is truly the best. He and his amazing team made our selling and buying experience seamless. They were there every step of the way to help answer questions and put our mind at ease. They took amazing photos and had our Loft sold 5 days after it hit the market… and for above asking price. We closed in two weeks!!! The whole process took us three weeks… who does that!!!! Ernie and his team were just as helpful in finding our dream house. Within two weeks we put an offer in on our dream home, closed three weeks later and moved in.. The whole process took us less than 7 weeks from sale to purchase to move in.. Amazing…. Ernie is not just a realtor but a friend for life….
