Working with Paige, Emma, and the entire team was honestly such a great experience. Selling my…read morefamily home was very stressful, but they made the whole process feel so much more manageable. They were always there to answer any questions I had and constantly reassured me along the way, which I really appreciated. Our home needed some prep before going on the market, and Paige really stepped in and took that on. She handled the design side, coordinated painting, got the landscaping done, and basically managed everything to get the house ready. It took so much off our plate and made a huge difference in how the home showed. They're incredibly knowledgeable about the Santa Monica market and always knew exactly what the next step should be. Beyond that, they're just genuinely great people. So easy to talk to, super personable, and you can tell they truly care about their clients. I'm so grateful I got to work with them and would 100% use Paige, Emma, and Pardee Properties again.

Amazing team! I sold my house at the very first open house and closed in 30 days of that showing. I…read morehad 15 offers. All over asking. Final offer was multiple 6 figures over ask. This team is not f'ng around! Pro tip: Paige's core competency is negotiating. She knows how to construct a deal and negotiate so best practice would be to follow her advice on listing price, prep needed, staging, etc. 10/10. Would highly recommend!

Terry went over-the-top in communication and finding us exactly what we were looking for in a new home. He was always there for us, no matter how late we've called him. He was patient and guided us so well through the steps of first-time home buying. As the manager of this office, Terry is an expert in the market and has a lot of connections. There were so many things that he took care of behind-the-scenes, like finding the best inspectors, negotiating contingencies, and dealing with escrow which kept us stress-free during the process. We are so happy we chose Terry as our realtor, we could not be happier with the entire experience of purchasing our home!!

My guy & I were looking at property to lease for a second home in Marina del Rey. Unfortunately,…read morethe weather was a big deterrent, it was cold and very rainy, which curbed our hunt. 1 day before returning to Texas we walked into ReMax. We were greeted by Sandra, (Sandy) Lew, who took us to the conference room & asked what we were looking for. We gave her our wish list & she immediately went to work trying to find our "dream" home. We drove to one location an hour later which had a lot of our preferences. Sandy stayed late to scan her data base even tho her mom was visiting from out of town. She sent us emails later that evening to confirm we had 2 appointments for showings the next day. Both of the showings were great. Each offering different perspectives of living in Marina del Rey. We were extremely impressed with our choices & filled out applications within hours of departing to LAX. Sandy is an absolute gem. She's personable & a very hard worker with attention to detail. It's obvious she loves her work. She's eager to please & will go the extra mile to accommodate her clients. Not like other brokers/Realtors we had contacted during our search who were less enthusiastic and actually challenging to connect with. We highly recommend Sandy Lew for your Real Estate needs in Marina del Rey & surrounding areas.

Melanie was honest and informed, giving great advice on small improvements that helped our place rent quickly, and she always struck the right balance in helping us make decisions.

Her team was also wonderful to work with--responsive, organized, and just as kind and professional as she is. We felt supported every step of the way and couldn't recommend them more highly.

This guy "Ofir" is a liar and horrible businessman. I rented a property on Airbnb and asked ahead…read moreof time if there was construction - to which he said no. Then arrived on site to a massive renovation happening next door. I called him to ask him to please refund since he was not honest about the situation and he told me to stay on site a night and we'd deal with it the next day, to which I said no. He then wrote a very nasty and misleading review on Airbnb about my stay even though I was only onsite 15 mins. AVOID! These are scammers only interested in making money, not honoring the guest. Here is proof he was lying: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1T3rjUNGn09JdJyrSXdBb75g3CTCHlWZ0?usp=sharing Also he wrote this nasty review on my airbnb (which is the only bad one out of 30) and it just shows what a misleading and disgusting person he is: We were disappointed with our experience hosting V. Throughout her stay, she expressed dissatisfaction with the property and, unfortunately, made repeated threats to leave a negative review. V mentioned that the scent of cleaning products was too strong, but we explained that we prioritize sanitization between each guest to ensure a safe and clean environment. This has never been an issue for previous guests. Additionally, she mentioned construction next door. We personally checked the property earlier in the day, and there was no active construction at the time. While it's possible the neighbors were doing light work, there was no disruption during her stay. Despite our best efforts to accommodate V and address her concerns, she continued to insist on a full refund and threatened a bad review. We ultimately had to reach out to Airbnb for assistance due to the ongoing threats. We always strive to provide a positive experience for our guests and are sorry that this stay did not meet her expectations.

Ray is amazing! Honestly, I generally don't even like real estate agents…read more.. Ray deserves 6 stars. I couldn't be his client because I was looking for a leasing agent and his firm doesn't provide the service.

Ray Lyon has to be the most spectacular realtor anyone could ever hope for. We had interviewed…read moreseveral realtors in the West LA area to help sell our family home while we were quite a distance away. At our initial meeting we could tell that Ray was a straight shooter, insanely knowledgeable on all things real estate with deep expertise regarding the Westside and how to achieve the ideal outcome beyond all expectations. We put our trust in Ray, followed his guidance every step of the way and WOW the results were exceptional ! Ray made what could have been a very challenging process a simply amazing experience. We needed painting done, yup, he took care of that well below what it would have cost us, needed a plumber, yup he got that too, wait we needed to move all the furniture....OMG he got that done, multiple times saving us countless trips and expense hiring our own professionals....We saved thousands simply by working with Ray AND to top it off his strategy to sell the home was brilliant ( a bit scary but we went with it); resulting in a crazy fast sale, not to mention an ultimate offer and closing price that was approx 200K OVER the asking price. We never expected that but once again Ray delivered so far beyond our expectations. Rays the real deal, no one can top his super service and outstanding results. I never really saw the value of any realtor over several past home sales but holy cow...this was different. If you are searching for a realtor go no further. We highly recommend Ray as the very best you will ever find if you are looking to list or purchase a home. WOOOHOOOOOOO.....so lucky to have had this entire experience with Ray !

One of the things we appreciate most is how proactive they are about protecting our bottom line. They always go the extra mile to get multiple bids and competitive pricing to keep maintenance costs down without sacrificing quality. They're exceptional communicators who truly take the time to resolve issues fairly for both us as owners and for our tenants - a rare balance to find in this industry. Their dedication really shown through during a complex and time-consuming repair involving our main drain. They took the lead on sourcing several plumbing companies to find the best price and monitored the entire project closely until it was completed. If you are looking for property managers who treat your investment like their own, look no further.

I honestly couldn't believe the transformation he made to the unit before listing it. Scott has a true artistic eye and knows exactly where to invest money to maximize ROI without wasting time or money on unnecessary repairs.

My Ocean Park Santa Monica…read moretownhouse had been rented for 9 years, and when the tenant finally vacated, the property was in rough condition. What initially felt overwhelming became completely manageable thanks to Scott's vision, guidance, and hands-on involvement throughout the entire process. Scott didn't just list the property; he curated the complete transformation of the unit before it went on the market. He helped oversee every detail, including installing beautiful sheer curtains, replacing outdated doorknobs, upgrading every old coffee-colored outlet to clean modern white Decora outlets throughout, selecting and installing 12 new light fixtures, coordinating all new paint, updating the bathrooms with new vanities, faucets, and mirrors, and replacing all of the carpet. The end result was stunning and completely transformed the feel of the home. Most importantly, Scott's strategy and execution delivered incredible results. We received an offer for $101,000 over asking price after just 6 days on the market, and we closed escrow only three weeks later. Truly remarkable, especially in what many would consider a challenging market. Scott is thoughtful, detail-oriented, hardworking, and exceptionally knowledgeable. I'm incredibly grateful for his expertise and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell property in Santa Monica.

Since being introduced to vacation rentals back in 2012 I refuse to stay in hotels when traveling…read more I came across Globe Homes through a recommendation from a friend, who had stayed in one of their downtown properties for about a month for business. I was happy to hear this vacation rental company had homes to rent in Anaheim near Disney. I wanted to plan a weekend getaway with my family so I contacted Globe and spoke with a representative. I couldn't believe how affordable the prices were for a two night stay, compared to a small hotel room, for a house with a pool, game room and kitchen privileges, not to mention walking distance to the actual park. After making our arrangement with reservation's I was able to speak with the Guest Service Manager, Nicole, who answered all my questions and eased any worries I had. Since I have a little one she offered to put a portable crib (pack-n-play) in the unit and make sure there was enough towels for both the bath and the pool. The amount of follow through and updates that I received before I actually arrived was so refreshing through a customer service standpoint. Once my family arrived we had a tad bit issue with the air conditioner and cable box (mainly because I don't watch much TV at home) but as soon as I called the office they sent a guest service rep, Nick, over to help. He was able to walk me through the steps and show how to reset the cable box and wifi router if any issues happened in the future, which they did not. The AC did have trouble and needed a tech which was unable to make it during our visit. Honestly though Globe provided several floor fans and the house already had ceiling fans so the temperature was really not an issue. Not to mention we were at the Parks all day. Long story short....my family had a blast and are already planning another Disney trip with Globe Homes. I wish they had properties all over because after our amazing experience I don't want to stay with anyone else. Thank you guys for the memories!!!
