When we decided to sell our house in Woodland Hills after living in it for 16 years, we interviewed five real estate agents who specialized in our area. All of them were experienced, successful, easy to talk to, and had very impressive sales plans. Although we liked all of them, we knew that Armen was going to be THE one. He had a clear vision of how he would market our house to bring us the highest price. He had a plan to advertise our house to our neighborhood and community, as well as a much larger scale, online globally. Armen speaks multi-languages which became very helpful later on since he was able to communicate with different buyers in their language. He was well networked with local lenders and was able to get the pre-qualification letters immediately for each offer we received. He did not settle for less. The bottom line is, he sold our house for more than what we listed it for. And this was after just one open house with multiple offers, (one offer even came from overseas using Armen's global internet marketing). The escrow closed 30 days after we accepted the highest offer, and he followed up with us daily on every detail until the day escrow closed. He is very thorough, firm, and consistent to get the best results for sellers like us. We probably called Armen at least 50 to 75 times with questions during the entire selling process, and he personally answered his phone every single time with the exception of twice, and then he called back within five minutes. That is called SERVICE! Also, his company recommended a super knowledgeable real estate agent for the area we were moving to 100 miles away, and that entire transaction went just as smoothly. So now, Armen is not only our real estate agent we can recommend to other folks, but he is also our life-time friend and we highly value his skills, knowledge, and honesty. Thanks Armen!

In 2009 I asked Armen to assist my family in finding a house in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. The price of homes had dropped and the interest rates were low. However, even though there was a good inventory of homes available for sale, many investors were buying the homes in my price range as quickly as they became available. Armen quickly went to work for us and on weekly basis arranged for potential home viewings. We were impressed by his ability to quickly understand our needs and focus his efforts on showing us properties that had a high chance of being liked by us. As a result we were able to write several offers within a couple of months. Unfortunately , because it was a buyers market all properties had multiple offers and it was very difficult to win a bid. Armen however didn't give up even though we almost did. With his help we found a short sale property that was the best we had seen up until that point and had to move very quickly to make an offer that got accepted which was pleasantly within our budget. Since the short sale process can be very tedious and drawn out it took over 7 months to complete the sale and close the escrow. During this process Armen gave us prompt weekly updates, contacted the seller and their banks to move the process forward, and stayed on top of all the details every step of the way. He gave us great advice on how to approach lenders and what documents to have ready ahead of time so that we were ready to close the deal as the short sale process advanced. After the seller's banks gave the approval we were able to close the escrow in 10 days and move to our new home immediately. Armen certainly masters his business and is an expert in his field. We have been referring him to everyone we know for their real-estate needs and questions. Thank you Armen. Steve and Lily Avanessian 818-326-8970 read more

A professional and excellent seller-experience! Among many of the usual needs as a seller, my unique ones were around the timing of sale, hands-on operational support, and navigating around specific administrative procedures - and they were all met with great professionalism. The fundamental expectations of a seller agent wrapped with a high level of attention to detail on even the smallest of matters (but important to me) were delivered - indeed a gift! The 5 most notable areas of excellence in working with Armen were: 1) the marketing approach that suited my timeline; 2) the practical recommendations on handling the ins-and-outs of preparing the property from open house through to final inspection; 3) the sales approach, negotiation and communication that was fair to all parties involved; 4) the speed and succinctness of communication in email and over the phone; and 5) the quality of the trouble shooting on administrative matters. From the day of listing to close of escrow it took just 38 days. Overall, I felt the key success factor above all else in working with Armen was the feeling of trust. The trust factor prevailed throughout the entire seller-experience which was paramount when we dealt with matters that were as planned, as well as when we dealt with matters that couldn't have been foreseen and needed pragmatic solutions. At the start of the seller-experience all I wanted was an agent who would treat and sell my property as if it was his/her own, and by the end that's what I got and much more...so I'm a happy and satisfied client! read more

Armen lives in my neighborhood. I had a sudden, unique and tragic reason for having to sell our beloved property. I needed an agent who would be understanding about the marketing constraints I had to impose -- no open houses, for example -- to be able sell a house in the context of a sudden family illness. Armen knew my immediate neighborhood, so I looked to him first to navigate the transition of selling a residence I had no prior plans of selling anytime soon, and getting buyers to understand the uniqueness of our "pocket." It was a circumstance that required an agent of persistence, understanding and compassion. Throughout the selling campaign, with a collapsed deal in the interim, Armen was always patient, composed and resourceful. After Jay Powell cranked up his war against the wrong kind of inflation even further in late summer of 2023 as I was going to market, Armen worked hard to generate interest when properties shopping cooled dramatically after the (ridiculous) Sept '23 rate hike that froze people with 8% mortgages. He withstood my pressures to kickstart activity. And we got traction, found buyers and negotiated a transaction to a smooth finish. The market was at the time dysfunctional, my need to sell was suddenly instigated, and I could not support an ideal marketing campaign. Armen coped with all of it with understanding and effectiveness, never losing his cool, and got the job done. Phil read more

When it came time to purchase our home, we were incredibly fortunate to work with an outstanding real estate agent who made the entire process smooth, informed, and stress-free. From start to finish, he was a true advocate for us--always ensuring our best interests were front and center. What stood out most was his honesty and realistic guidance. He never sugar-coated things or pressured us into decisions. Instead, he provided thoughtful insights, explained all our options clearly, and helped us feel confident every step of the way. His professionalism, knowledge of the market, and attention to detail gave us peace of mind, even during the most nerve-wracking moments of the home-buying process. We always felt like a priority--he was responsive, dependable, and incredibly thorough in every aspect of the transaction. He made sure we understood each part of the process and was never more than a quick call or text away. Knowing we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared made all the difference. We wouldn't hesitate for a second to work with him again in the future, and we've already started recommending him to friends and family. Beyond being a fantastic agent, he's someone we truly trust--and that's invaluable when making such a big life decision. Thank you, Armen! Can't wait to have you over for coffee! -Ane and George read more

To sell our house, we were looking for a professional realtor with experience and a strong knowledge of the local market. Armen was that professional. When it came time to sell our house, Armen started by explaining the entire process. He developed a plan including preparation, pricing, showing and closing. Armen offered suggestions to prepare the house for marketing, including landscape maintenance, cleaning, minor repairs and collecting documents. At each step, he offered lists of tested, fair and reliable people who could perform the work. When the house was ready to go on the market, he created a website, helped stage furniture, took photos, and prepared a virtual tour. He explained pricing strategy, listed the home, held open houses and quickly received multiple competitive offers. Armen explained each offer in detail and obtained counter offers resulting in sale of the home over asking price. After an offer was accepted, there were a few small bumps but Armen thoroughly explained and quickly handled them. The sale closed quickly and efficiently. Throughout the process, I never had to call Armen for information because he kept me informed every step of the way and was always professional. If you are looking to buy or sell a house, Armen is the real estate professional for you. read more

Armen is the consummate professional. He is also that rare person who you will become (if not already) friends with during your transaction and keep in touch with. I must have called him well over 100 times during our transaction and he almost always answered his phone and provided me with up front, honest and clear advice. Even on the rare occasion he was unable to answer my call, he would call back almost immediately. He is truly engaged at all levels in every transaction/sale/listing/buy/etc. along the way at all times. On several occasions, he recommended various strategies (which worked!) to save money and obtain the best possible price for my property. Throughout the process Armen was there to hold my hand, as I come from a highly functional financial background; I therefore had a lot of technical questions. He never misled me and always happily without reserve provided thorough and accurate responses to my every question and assistance for my every need. In my honest opinion, Armen represented me in the same fashion as he would represent his own family member, or even himself...never shying away from any issue or challenge that arose. I unreservedly recommend Armen to represent you in your current and future real estate transactions, no matter how complex. read more

My wife and I met Armen when we were in desperate need for somebody to help us find a place to rent while looking for a place to buy, he was kind enough to offer us a no contract month to month rent while he was helping find our future home that took us almost three years to find. He was very patient, understanding and compassionate taking the time to show multiple addresses and putting multiple offers on some that were accepted but we ended up changing our minds for various reasons. Armen did not give up on us and was determined to help us find a place of our own, until we finally did and with his expertise he was able to get our offer accepted by the seller however it did not stop at that, he even referred us to bankers that were able to secure a loan for us at a rate lower than what our bank of 34 years had offered us. We would definitely recommend and refer anyone we know to Armen, not just for his professionalism and experience but for his honesty, tenacity and warm heart that made us feel like family. Thank you Armen, it was an honor meeting someone like that is a treasure to know and a valued family friend. read more

Armen is a highly professional Realtor with great communication skills. I had an opportunity to work with Armen on the property in Thousand Oaks. Armen was assisting me patiently for more than eight month until he found the desirable house I was looking for. Armen's experience in the real state industry was extremely advantageous. In order for us to qualify for the loan he leveraged his connections and referred me to several loan officers for the loan processing. During that processing time, Armen would stay on top of the process and would keep me posted with updates via email, as well would collaborating with me over the phone. Every conversation or update on the loan status/escrow, Armen would't hesitate to call me- along sending me an email with the latest instructions. I am beyond thankful for your service, Armen!
