We rented an apartment at 320 Hermosa Avenue six months ago. With Alex Smith he charged us $500 for…read morea 620 square-foot apartment which did not need to be painted. They also charged a $750 in commission fees. I have never heard of anything like this, but I guess that's just what they do. When we moved into the apartment, the whole apartment was not painted. It was touched up with a different color white We moved out, took several pictures and left it immaculate and they ended up painting the entire apartment for $500 when you live in an apartment you should do a walk-through when you first rent from a landlord, that did not happen there was no walk-through so we took pictures of the entire unit. The unit was so disgusting. I spent two days cleaning it. The prior owner's mother went in there with Windex and paper towels and cleaned it. That's not how you clean a unit. Tou use chemicals such as comet and the list goes on. The charges that he charged us was not acceptable to us. We were very fair. There was no heat in the unit except for the fireplace which is since off enough heat to do partial of the living room. The stove is absolutely horrible. Excessive grease on stove. mold underneath the bathroom sink. I would never rent from this person again Smith properties.

I highly recommend Palos Verdes and Southbay Realtor, Sep Ebrahimi; 5 Stars is not nearly enough…read more Sep worked closely with us on all aspects of selling our Palos Verdes home. His strategy and approach worked exactly the way he outlined. Sep helped us achieve the outcome we wanted, supported us at every step along the way, made it easy, and helped us close escrow in record time as we were working on a very tight deadline. I highly recommend Sep. He is extremely effective, someone you can trust implicitly to represent your interests and maximize the outcome you want. He is also a wonderful human.

Thanks to Sep I was able to buy my first home and it was exactly what I was looking. Here's why I enjoyed and valued Sep's expertise: - Sep cares - Sep listens to priorities and provide you with options within those parameters - Never felt that Sep was pushing me towards any specific home - Sep takes the time to educate and for someone analytical and data driven like myself it helped me significantly to make the right decisions - Sep has integrity and you can rely on him

Karen Anderson was the clear standout after I diligently interviewed three other agents to sell our…read morebeloved Carson home after owning same for over 50 years. She was immediately the most credible: prepared, data‑driven, and confident without any salesy pressure. She's an old‑school professional using today's technology to drive results. We appreciated her weekly updates without having to ask. We had just two weeks to prep the house, including a full exterior paint job, and Karen made the entire process turnkey. She hired and coordinated all the vendors so we didn't have to search or manage anyone ourselves, including a digital video tour that really showcased the property online. She obtained our pre‑approval for every expense before moving forward and stayed within our projected budget, which we greatly appreciated. One of the biggest selling points was Karen having her own staging furniture. But because of the size and layout of our house she brought in an outside staging vendor on her own dime so the home would show at its absolute best. Bravo Karen. No cutting corners with her. From there, she handled everything: prep, paint, staging, photos, video, pricing strategy, and negotiations. The home sold after the first open house, in one week, and over asking price. Claudia was the point person at the Open House and she was upbeat, polite and professional. As someone who watches both cost and value very closely, I can say without hesitation that Karen fully earned her commission. If you're serious about getting top dollar with minimal stress, interview a few agents like I did--but in the end, trust the one who gets it done. When you only have one shot at selling such an important asset, don't gamble with it; hire Karen Anderson. She's the Gold Standard of real estate agents.

I told my coworker the other day "if I could hire Karen Anderson to manage my life, I would." My…read morecoworker has no idea who Karen is, and I didn't care because there is not enough I can say to how amazing a job I think the Prestige Team do. I have worked with her team twice now, the first time to buy a house and the second time to sell a house. The funny thing is, I wasn't even planning on buying a house yet when I met Jonathan on her team. I was just dipping my toe into what was happening in my area and looking for maybe hiring an agent. I walked into an open house hosted by Jonathan and immediately liked his vibe. I also loved the vibe of the house, so much so, I was sold twice over. I hired him and bought the house. After that, I have reached out to both Jonathan and Karen for recommendations on work to be done, and they never fail to have qualified people I can hire. When I was ready to sell another house, there was no doubt in my mind who I was going to hire: The Prestige Team. Karen has walked us through the process, informing us in realistic terms how much the house should go for, she has hired and managed updates to the fixtures, bathroom, and kitchen, not to mention painting and gardening and electrical, and has kept us in the loop with bids. Now that the contract has already been signed, I can say I would have given her a higher commission (maybe . . . my partner would probably have something to say about that, though). In other words, HIRE THE PRESTIGE TEAM. If I could be more glowing in my review, I would!

L'mar is an amazing agent. Not only does he know the Playa Vista/Del Rey area really well, he is…read morealso proactive and super-responsive. He worked with us until we found the perfect place for us. Plus, he helped find someone who could expedite financing (which ended up being important in this market). We had many fits and starts, and a few heart attacks. L'mar guided and calmed us down through the entire journey. Even though he clearly cares about his clients, his style is one of a "straight-shooter"; he will be honest, even when it isn't what we want to hear. But, honestly, I prefer that, since it saved us from wasting our time and energy. In my experience, other agents either don't know the potential pitfalls, or refuse to be the bearer of bad news. L'mar delivered. He went way above and beyond to get us exactly what we wanted and needed, and he seemed to always be one step ahead of the game - and what other agents were telling us.

After viewing his client's property, I sent my bid details to him, along with his associates who showed the property. But I didn't hear back from L'mar for days. So after tracking him down, he admitted that he failed to do what was necessary to present an official bid to his client. I would later find out that he got into a competition battle with his own associates that showed his listing - who he now claims aren't a part of his team. Then he asked if we could go over some additional terms of my offer, which I was fine with. But I felt the need to confronted him about how poorly he had handling my offer and our verbal agreement. That's when he got upset went back on his word about representing me. L'mar tried to change the narrative and suddenly act as if I was asking him to do something he never agree to. But on the contrary, I was simply following his lead. I never once had an issue about handling his representation officially. L'mar was willing to do whatever necessary to avoid taking responsibility for his actions. I just wanted to share my experience. I am a disabled Air Force veteran and this is my true and sworn testimony.
