Little did I know we would fall in love with the first house we saw! During the entire searching and buying process, I felt no pressure. Her knowledge of properties and areas made her a great source of advice. In the buying process, I constantly found myself amazed at the amount of work she took upon herself for us. We felt like we were her only clients, though I know we were not! Her creative solutions to every snag we encountered and her always calm and cheerful attitude allowed us to end up in a house we could not have dreamed of even a few months ago! I can't say enough good things about Karen.

I had the great fortune of choosing Rodman Amiri to represent me in purchasing my home in Newport…read moreCoast. Rodman is a true professional. He leaves nothing to chance by handling every aspect of the transaction himself never delegating a thing. His attention to detail is remarkable. He read through every document that was sent to us even the lengthy HOA documents. He caught an error on title that no one else saw. He also worked diligently with insurance providers to get me insured in time despite our short escrow. As a high value property in a fire risk zone this was a remarkable feat as anyone familiar with California home insurance can attest to. Rodman takes great pride in his work and knows how to negotiate the best deal possible while keeping both parties on good terms. He knew how to address each party's concerns in a calm manner that was reassuring to everyone involved. Attached is a photo of myself on the left and the seller on the right on closing day. As you can see, we both walked away from the deal very happy and I credit that 100% to Rodman's exceptional professionalism. I look forward to working with Rodman again when the time comes. Thanks for everything Rodman! You're the best!

The whole process was a challenging one (not brought on by anything we could have controlled). Oscar stood by me, communicating each step along the way. He tolerated my anxieties that crept up, and did what he had to do to get the transaction done--always keeping my interests in mind. I would like to thank him for being a hardworking, honest buyer's agent and helping me buy a home that I am very excited about. If it weren't for Oscar, I never would have known about the property, as I wasn't even considering Manhattan Beach as an option. Funny how life works!

Buying a property is a big, daunting task, but Forrest made sure that the entire process was smooth, seamless, and as stress-free as possible. He was incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, efficient, thoughtful, responsive, and on top of things throughout the entire process, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience knowing that he was our agent.

We literally moved out on a Monday, cleaned the place on Tuesday, and Forrest did 5 highly qualified showings over the next 2 days, resulting in a nearly full price offer without us having to do any work. When the closing got bogged down due to various delays, he advised us on our options, aggressively nudging the buyer, and in the end, we were able to get the deal done. We never had to reach out for updates, he was always proactive and quick to respond. He really understands the market and never loses his cool. I highly recommend Forrest whether you are buying or selling.

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 cannot say enough good things about Alex and Eileen. My wife and I called Alex after seeing an…read moreopen house we liked, and within minutes, he drove there, got all relevant info from the listing agent and connected us with a lender so we could get an offer in the next day. We didn't get the house, but needless to say, we were impressed! Fast forward a few weeks, and after taking us to numerous open houses, Alex helped us find "the one." He strategized with us to come up with the winning offer, then guided us through a difficult escrow in which we found major problems with the property. Alex kept us calm, and in the end was able to facilitate seller concessions to fix all issues (quite a feat in this seller's market)! My wife and I now have the South Bay property of our dreams, and I am positive that no other agent in the area would have gotten our offer accepted, and closed escrow with such favorable terms. Most importantly, Alex conducted himself with skill, integrity, humor and candor. We cannot recommend him enough! Finally, his assistant Eileen was also amazing! She scheduled and organized all our inspections, and spent hours with us and keeping track of all the findings. Anytime we had a question she had an answer, or knew who to ask. In Summary, you cannot go wrong with Alex Smith Realty - you'll receive first-class service and leave with a new home and two new friends!

This property management company is a red flag. My current…read moreroommate and I were looking to move out and found the 2b/2b at 2223 Pullman Ln in Redondo. We first went and saw the unit (downstairs unit facing the street) during an open house. We were in contact with the company through email in which they were wanting us to sign a lease although we had never seen the garage. We had asked a few times to see the garage before signing the lease because why would you sign a lease for somewhere where you haven't seen the entire place yet? Tim kept ignoring our questions in the email and kept asking us for a lease start date. There must've been some miscommunication there. One of the front office ladies met us at the unit once more so that we could see the garage before signing the lease and giving a deposit. She told us that Tim would be meeting us and he was also showing the unit to somebody else and to meet him there at a specific time. When I called back to confirm, she then changed the time and was being very suspicious on the phone, leaving out information and not answering my questions in full. When we got to the unit, only the lady showed up and Tim was nowhere to be found. I asked her if Tim would be showing us the unit like she had told us, and she told us no, said he was unavailable. The way that she was answering us was very unfriendly and cold, and I suspect that she was lying to us from the beginning about the property manager meeting up with us again to do a final walk-through and document anything else that needed to be fixed or changed before we moved in (the stove needed to be fixed during the open house and the closet doors were broken). I had read some reviews online about this company but so far Tim seemed ok, but I wanted more information. My roommate and I went to talk to some neighboring units where we learned that there was a history of mold in the unit and that the unit has seen turnover every year due to this issue and that last year they had to tear out a big piece of a wall in the bathroom due to the mold issues and ultimately that's why the previous tenants had moved out. We were notified that the mold went all the way to the other units in front and all the way to the units upstairs along the wall. We reached back out to the property management company to give them a chance when we found out and to ask if a mold inspection had been completed since the previous tenants after they moved out. The property management company ghosted us after this. There are laws regarding notifying possible tenants before signing a lease of prior mold issues and that was not followed, even after given the opportunity to do so after finding out. I pray that whoever is in that unit now is not suffering with health issues due to the undocumented and unresolved mold problems the entire building seems to possibly have. Tim and his front office assistant lady are dishonest, sketchy, unfriendly and down right morally corrupt people if they allowed more people to move into this unity with remedying the mold issues. I would not recommend this property company to anybody.

I represented the buyer on this purchase and I had never worked with Village View Escrow before, but from the first initial call with Kyle and Kory, I knew that this would be a great one. Kyle and Kory were quick to respond to emails, phone calls, and always made sure that we had everything we needed for both sides. They were diligent in retrieving documents (even HOA documents that sometimes takes a while, we got it immediately!), and they even went the extra mile. You see, we had to get loan docs out and signed since my client had a medical procedure the next day. It was a VERY tight time frame, they received the loan docs at approximately 2:30 pm.....they scheduled a notary to my clients at 3pm...and they did it! They also kept me up to date on the entire process, and even after we closed they followed up to check up to see how we were doing and if there was anything else that we needed. I also have to commend Michelle, because she also had a huge part in ensuring that this transaction was smooth and successful. This is a phenomenal escrow company, and you can truly tell that each individual cares about their clients and associates and want to make sure that everyone has a great experience. Remember that there are a lot of moving parts in an escrow, listing agent, buyers agent, lender (who has multiple divisions who are a party to the transaction, and the buyers and sellers, among many others....so this escrow company made sure that all moving parts were taken care of Thank you Kyle, Kory, and Michelle for truly providing exceptional customer service.
