5 stars is not enough to accurately rate Henry! He is a fantastic agent--extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with and well connected to the market. Henry recently helped my family sell a home; a transaction made more complex by the fact there was a tenant involved and that my husband and I live on the East Coast. Henry guided us throughout the process and held our hands with respect to complying with all of LA's regulations related to selling a home with a tenant. His patience, expert advice and friendly demeanor made a difficult process much easier. Whether buying or selling, if you want a great outcome--work with Henry! read more

Couldn't be happier with Henry's assistance selling an inherited house in Highland Park. This was a difficult transaction as the home was occupied by long-term renters. Henry walked us through the process, helping with referrals and locating a patient buyer willing to offer a fair price for the property. Henry's service went above and beyond a simple sale, helping us out with inspection issues and dealing with elderly sellers. read more

We were lucky to be referred to Henry with a house that needed work, he had resources and referral for contractor after contractor who were all excellent! His strategy for pricing our house was solid and worked better than we could have hoped achieving a sale far above our asking price. Henry had answers for my questions from plumbing to paint, roofing to flooring I felt like I had a member of the family taking care of the house and that was priceless. Knowledgeable, well networked, quick to communicate, and strategic everywhere I needed help Henry was able to provide assistance. I could not have achieved the outcome I did without him. I have absolutely no reservations recommending him to help. read more

As first timer buyers, we knew what we were looking for. It was THIS or THIS, if not, definitely THAT. Enter Henry and Yu-Ling. They saw our young family of four, listened to our options, and said, "Ok. We get it." Fast forward 4 months and we are proud home owners. We would never have imagined this come to fruition during this 2020 climate. But Henry held our hand and guided us thru every single, little part of the process. He answered every call, every question, big or small, crazy or dumb. Thank you Henry. Thank you Yu-Ling. We are truly grateful. Salud! read more

Henry is a remarkable agent - the most thoughtful and capable person we've worked with in any of our real estate purchases or sales over the past 40 years. He put in the effort to understand our needs, and he was immensely helpful in navigating every step of the way. And now that we have closed on the purchase, he continues to be helpful with advice on every aspect of settling in. We've worked with a lot of realtors over the years. All were competent. Henry is the only one that we continue to think of as a friend after the transaction was complete. read more

Henry did an amazing job guiding first time buyers (us) through a tricky (horrific) pandemic real estate market. We looked at many homes over six months and when we were finally ready to pull the trigger he zeroed in on what the seller was looking for and structured an offer that was strong enough to be accepted on the first try without over paying. Henry is friendly, laid back and patient with a wealth of experience. Highly recommend read more

If you are looking for a very serious realtor, that will work tirelessly to find you YOUR home, will patiently accompany you to find that gem, that he is also a genuine human being that knows his field inside out, then do not look any further. Henry Plascencia is the person you need and you want. Henry has been a wonderful guide and support during the process of looking for and FINDING our home. He went above and beyond the call of duty.... TRULY! We command and recommend him with no reservations. We wish you a good hunt, with Henry :) read more

Henry is the bee's knees. How do I know this? Because I worked with a succession of four other (not-so-hot) realtors before finally getting smart and deciding to go with Henry. What was the difference? Henry's always more interested in making a customer than making a deal. In fact, that's how I ended up working with him at all: he was representing sellers on two houses that I tried to buy as a first-timer, and in both cases, he made it a priority to be so up-front with me (the buyer... not even HIS client) that I felt better taken care of by HIM than my own agent at the time. Later on, when Henry was representing me as a buyer and I was putting in offers, it was so refreshing to NOT be pushed into a property I wasn't sure of. Again, his philosophy is that he'd rather have you happy and have a deal he's put a ton of work into not go through than make his commission and have you locked into a deal or property you end up regretting. It's the precise opposite of the high-volume, high-pressure go-go sales tactics that I'd experienced with other realtors. The house I finally bought ended up being a complicated deal (as I suppose most are), but throughout, Henry was the calm captain of the ship. I felt safe and protected. Every question I had was met with a straight forward, easy-to-understand answer. He was the consummate hand-holder. And the deal, which I suspect was a big headache for Henry, got done seemingly without a hitch. But wait, it gets better. Henry hooked me up with his preferred Mortgage Broker. Not knowing any better, I just took his advice. A couple of years later, when I decided to take advantage of lower rates and re-fi, I figured I'd better do some due diligence and find my own lender this time. Between Yelp, word-of-mouth and every other Mortgage Broker resource I could take advantage of, who do you think came out as the go-to guy? Yup. Henry's recommendation all along. Want more? Way above and beyond the scope of his job description, Henry actually helped guide me through major renovation. He connected me with contractors, laborers, architects, explained how to get permits, and even came out to the HOUSE (LOOONG after the deal was done) to help me figure out what I was doing. Even now, more than 4 years after I bought the house, Henry still continues to be a resource I call on if I need referrals for workers or have any questions not just about home buying, but about home OWNERSHIP. A final note. The house Henry helped me buy and hand-held me through fixing up has appreciated mightily. Frankly, I owe a good deal of my net worth and financial security to Henry. (Well, him and a whole lot of unfettered, barely-regulated, artificially-low interest-rated capitalism). I cannot even IMAGINE ever working with another realtor. I recommend Henry to everyone even THINKING of buying or selling. And so I recommend him to you too. Trust me. After you've worked with Henry, in Los Angeles, you will never need another realtor again. read more

Henry is absolutely amazing and would recommend him to anyone of my family or friends! I met Henry through a friend and within the first meeting, I was thoroughly impressed by his market knowledge of the immediate area I was looking at, preparedness for the meeting (he came with a solid list of listings) and understanding of my needs. By the second week of us meeting, I was in escrow. This certainly wouldn't have happened if it weren't for us meeting Henry as I've been in the market looking for the past year with various other realtors. As a realtor, he played a very intricate role in bringing the seller and listing agent together to reassure that they were selling to the right buyers (despite another cash offer) which helped us win the bid. During the due diligence process, he provided a lot of guidance and recommendations to help set the appropriate expectations on budget. And more importantly, he goes above and beyond subsequent to the closing process to ensure we're all taken care of in terms of documents and questions. Henry is our trusted realtor and we certainly will be engaging him again on all our future real estate purchases in LA! read more

When you are ready to "level-up" to a premier realtor, Henry should be your first choice. From the first meeting when he presented a detailed sale plan to our last call congratulating us on the official close, he was always professional, detailed and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. At every step of the (often complex) process he made sure we understood and were comfortable with the plan he had established. He was always available for questions and amazing at follow-up. Truly the best experience we've had selling a home- wish we had found Henry sooner! read more

I want to extend a formal acknowledgement of appreciation for the excellent support and service that Henry provided throughout the process of selling our condo in Glendale & purchasing our home in Glendora. Throughout the entire course Henry went the extra mile in providing the supportive services needed to finalize the sale & purchase of our new home. He walked us through every step of the process and contacted the individuals whether it be a, mortgage broker, or a fellow realtor in order to expedite the process. Your expertise, professionalism, and patience help us tremendously to sell our condo and find a new home in less than 60 days you are hands down the best at what you do! Buying or selling a house can be an extremely traumatic ordeal, but you have thoroughly "de-fused" our experience and provided an entirely positive and very smooth experience. We sincerely appreciate all the advise that was given to us ! With sincere regards and heartfelt thanks, Mendson Family read more

Henry Plascencia - Compass Real Estate - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Pasadena, California

I have known Henry for over ten years, and at this point I consider him a part of the family. He is wonderful and everything you could want in a real estate agent. He is very knowledgable, dependable, kind, supportive, and will give you the utmost confidence when deciding whether to purchase a property or not. His professionalism and honesty make Henry the only real estate agent I would ever want to work with. read more

Henry is truly as good as it gets. Aside from being sharp and extremely knowledgable about real estate, Henry is also generous with his time and really cares about his clients. He has helped me purchase three properties in the last ten years, and I'm sure there will be more in the future. Even when we're not actively searching, Henry is a constant resource of information and advice, and has also introduced me to many other fantastic vendors who have helped me along the way. He is honest, genuine, and a joy to work with. After working with him for this long, I'm proud to consider him more than just an agent, but also a friend. read more

Henry helped us to sell our house and found us a great house where we live very happy. Henry was excellent and very professional. He really knows the business!! read more

Henry is as professional as they get. He's full service; helping you before, during, and after purchase with anything he can. He takes care of all the complexities and details, and patiently answers all your questions multiple times. We bought our first home with him ten years ago and in 2015 sold that home and bought another with him. The purchase of our new home was contingent upon the sale of our last, so it was super complicated and he just made it all seem so easy. Henry is a great negotiator and gives you the advice you need even if it isn't the advice you want to hear. He helps you get past the emotional reactions. We thought we made a lot of money on our last house thanks to the way Henry priced it and staged it, but after looking at the bids we made ten years on other houses we realize just how well we did. Each of these houses we second-guessed dropping out of the bidding process. Now looking at what we bid, what they sold for, and what they're valued at today, we realize just how good his advice was as the appreciation on these homes were a fraction of what we gained on the one we ultimately bought. It's just such a pleasure working with such a classy guy. read more

Buying and selling a home can be an extremely stressful process, but working with Henry alleviated all of my anxiety. Henry Plascencia is a consummate professional in all aspects of the real estate business. He understands the market. He listens to and understands his clients' needs. He knows the importance of marketing via traditional and social means in order to showcase a property. Henry helped me buy and sell homes in 2017. He gave great input to prepare my previous home for listing. He did his research providing a professional book of the state of the area, neighborhood comps and historical purchases. Through his community of brokers, I received multiple offers. The home went for over asking. It closed in 30 days with a strong buyer putting in 50 percent cash into the property. A month later, it was time for me to purchase a new home. Henry walked me through every step of the way. He spent time talking with the other broker to feel out the seller's expectations. Henry advised me on the purchase price and the strategy to get the home. In a competitive area like Studio City in Los Angeles, homes usually sell on the first day of open house, over asking, all cash. With Henry's help, I not only purchased the home below purchase price, he worked hard to get me cash credits from the seller. Since our working relationship, Henry and his family have become friends. He never falters despite the ups and down of a transaction. He keeps his cool and finds strategies to meet his clients' goals. Henry is not only there to sell a home. He's there with you throughout the journey. read more

Oh Henry! Where do I even start? Five stars is not enough. The hair alone deserves a star or two. In all seriousness, Henry truly is the best agent I've ever worked with. My husband and I made 12 offers over four years with other agents before we came across Henry, and 6 weeks later, the deal was sealed and we had bought a house. He's got all the attributes you want in an agent. He's ridiculously knowledgeable -- a true local expert. (And his memory is ridic. He'd always say stuff when looking at a property like "I remember seeing this house when it was on the market 6 years ago, and that tile over there is new." Who remembers that?? Henry, that's who.) He's focused, honest, personable, responsive, and just generally fun to be around. And most importantly, he will get you the house (or sell it, if you're offloading a property), and he'll walk you through every step of the process. read more

Everybody loves Henry, everybody in the real estate community knows him and respects him, which makes things much easier when you are a first time buyer. You know after talking with the selling agents at your first two open houses, that you have the right person by your side. In a very competitive market like Los Angeles, where homes sell quickly, over asking price, all cash, we manage to find the right property at the right price: it wasn't easy with a few ups and downs, but Henry managed with his cheerful personality, his genuine love for what he does, to make the whole process as stress free as possible. Henry is very responsive, well connected and trustworthy. He goes above and beyond: now that I am a home owner as soon as I have a problem/question or I need a contractor, I know who to reach: my friend Henry, the 24/7 realtor, has always the right answer. I would recommend Henry without reservation. read more

As a first time home buyer, I worked with three other realtors before being referred to Henry. Two of the three were too inexperienced, lacking connections and knowledge of the market, and the third was only interested in rushing me quickly towards a purchase. Henry worked with me for nearly a year and a half, tirelessly showing me houses, never pressuring me, always looking out for my interests. The property I ended up buying had 25 offers and took six months to close. (It was a short sale.) There's no doubt in my mind that my offer was accepted and the deal finally closed in large part due to Henry's hard work, diligence, and character. He is a consummate professional, and a charming and friendly guy, very knowledgeable about repairs and renovation (critical when sizing up a fixer). He continues to provide support, even months after closing. I give him my highest recommendation. read more

If Yelp only had more stars to give to Henry. He deserves at least 100 stars! That might not even be enough. We met Henry at one of the many open houses we saw weekend after weekend, and we are so glad we had him on our side. He has been more than just our real estate agent on our journey to buy our first house. He is a friend, giver of amazing advice, a pleasure to work with, and a miracle worker! We were searching for the impossible home to find in such a competitive market in East LA and he not only found us our home, but our dream home. We already closed escrow, and Henry is still calling us to check on things and make sure we are happy in our new home. read more

Henry just worked with my wife and I to buy our first home and we couldn't have asked for someone better. Beyond the fact that he is just fun to talk to about homes, he is honest and dependable, smart and incredibly knowledgeable, and completely trustworthy. He made this very complicated process so much easier for us. And just as important, he fought for us along the way and gave us the tools and knowledge to make decisions we felt confident in. We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Henry and now we live in our dream home and have no regrets!! I cannot recommend Henry highly enough. read more

When my girlfriend and I first walked into the open house for what is now our current home, Henry was sitting at the kitchen table, representing the seller. We had been going to open houses by ourselves for a few weeks, and we were shopping for both a house and a real estate agent to represent us. We absolutely loved this place from the moment we walked in, and even though Henry represented the seller, we trusted him more than any of the other agents we'd met during our search! (...and we met a lot of agents.) Sometimes you have to go with your gut over conflicts of interest and all of that, and I'm so glad we did! Over the next month, Henry navigated some tricky waters between a highly emotional and completely inexperienced young couple (us!), my girlfriend's nervous parents back in Ohio (who couldn't believe how little you get for your buck in L.A. and were unfamiliar with and extremely concerned about common California issues like termites) and a professional seller/flipper (who had done a great job renovating the house, but after we had agreed on a price, proceeded to neglect it, and failed to perform repairs he had contractually agreed to:/) Let's just say that this was not an easy task, but Henry worked extremely hard to make everyone happy, and succeeded. He has gone above and beyond what you could expect of him. He helped us organize our move, and to this day he's still checking in on us and recommending people for gardening, repairs, upgrades, etc. when things come up. But perhaps the most important thing to mention, is that at no point did we feel pressured by Henry to make any rash decisions. Along the way he made suggestions for how we could determine whether this house and the area were right for us- such as, "Come back at night and see how you feel" and "Go ask the neighbors or anybody on the street about the area". He wasn't telling us what to think. He was helping us make the right decision for us. That approach makes an enormous difference when you're making such a big decision! Thank you, Henry. read more

My wife, daughter and I sold our home in Los Angeles just this past May and moved out of state where we purchased our new home. Henry Plascencia was our listing agent and sold our home for well above asking price with 5 multiple offers! We have known Henry for many years. We lived in the same neighborhood for a long time and had talked to him over the years while we were sorting out what we wanted to do when we grew up. If you're searching for an absolutely amazing realtor whether you are buying or selling - look no further than Henry. We can save you time and energy by vouching for him 100 percent and then some. Henry is amazing. His wealth of information about real estate is impressive, he is incredibly professional, personable, likeable, has great hair, heart melting smile, and just as much as he is extremely serious in business he knows the real pleasures in life are about home, hearth and family and fun. Henry spent many hours consulting with us about properties we were looking at out of state for over a year. He showed us properties in Northeast Los Angeles and South Pasadena for many months in 2014. We leaned on him for information and insight. He gave so much of his time to help us, and although there was always a material benefit to helping us work out our next home, he was there I believe because he is first and foremost a good, solid person who cares about his clients. The guy is a superstar! Selling or buying can be stressful in the most ideal circumstances. Changing your life completely is risky and stressful. Moving out of state is a really big deal. Having Henry on our side made absolutely everything we were trying to achieve and DID achieve that much easier. There were a lot of details in both our new purchase transaction and in selling our home - I like to know almost every possible outcome in every situation and while I may have exhausted a lesser realtor - Henry answered every single question I ever had. Henry, as you may have read in other reviews, has countless resources of contractors and professionals you may need to help you in any real estate transaction or home renovation, addition, building, or developing scenario. I don't think there are often business opportunities out there in the world where you can combine a sense of security, trust and have a true sense of friendship all at the same time. With Henry - you get it all - for reals. There are other realtors out there. I've done my research. My advice, GO WITH HENRY!!! You'll be happier in the process and happier in the end. read more

Working with Henry to find our first home in the Eagle Rock area was fantastic! He really helped us along the way to navigate the real estate market. He showed us several locations, compared homes so we knew what to expect. There was a bidding war for the house we ultimately bought so we wrote a personalized letter to the owner . With Henry's expertise and guidance, we were able to buy our starter home in one of the best neighborhoods in the Eagle Rock area. We recommend him as a knowledgable real estate agent in the Los Angeles area. read more

Henry is more than an agent--he's an advocate, someone who's truly in your corner. We've worked with him both as buyers and sellers and on both ends of those deals, he was truly phenomenal. As buyers, my wife and I are pretty picky/quirky/weird, and Henry was patient, bringing his amazing market knowledge to bear on everything we were looking at. When we finally found the right place, we were able to pounce on it with his help, getting a great deal. Then, from insurance to renovations, Henry just always seems to "know a guy" who's perfect for the job. We just sold our place with Henry and it was just as great. From pricing to negotiations to inspections and repairs, he always knew the right thing to do. On top of all this, he's a great guy and a real pleasure to be around. I wish we could take him with us to the Midwest!!! read more

Henry is an awesome guy to have in your corner when dealing with buying and selling a house. My wife and I have now known Henry for over 11 years. We bought our first house through Henry's efforts as a buyer's agent, and recently bought our second house with his support. Henry also helped us sell our previous house, and coordinated help with finishing touches in landscaping and sprucing up. He is a tireless and knowledgeable ally and really looks out for his client's intrests. He's half contractor, half psychotherapist, half life coach, half networking guru, half financial adviser, and all results. There is no way that we could have accomplished so much in getting the home of our dreams without his hard work and perseverance. Henry, thank you very much! read more

5-Star Experience! Henry is a professional realtor with what I believe to be almost 20 yrs experience. This is quite an accomplishment in this industry as well as in this highly competitive and volatile L.A. Realty market. He is a professional whose knowledge and awareness of shifting values in emerging neighborhoods gives his clients the advantage when faced with making decisions about the often largest financial and emotional investments in their lives. Henry's reputation for being a tireless fountain of patient knowledge preceded him when we reached out to him as first time buyers. Many realtors squirm at the sight of a 1st time buyer, but Henry meets you where you are to lend as much or as little as you need. We needed a lot. Of Time, of showings, of resources, of options, of answers. Henry helped us find our first home in South Pasadena. It was a great home that we lovingly updated over a few years (with Henry's continued assistance with referrals for contractors and cost/benefit advice!). As our family grew, Henry helped us hone in on the timing for the next move. He gave us the confidence to make an otherwise scary leap that paid off for us quite profitably. Our 1st home sold in multiple offers over asking in 2010. With the leverage of cash in hand, Henry helped us find a home in a fabulous Pasadena neighborhood that was initially over our budget. His advice to us and professional approach with seller and seller's agent netted a successful negotiation and our happy home. We're not sure what's next, but Henry remains our Realtor on Staff, For Life! read more

Henry goes above and beyond in his role as agent and I can't recommend him enough. He's been my realtor for a purchase and a sale and he was always incredibly knowledgable, responsive, and helpful. Every time an issue crept up, he was immediately on it and had answers to every question I had. When I entered the home buying process I was relatively naive - but Henry always gave me confidence that things were being handled properly, efficiently, and toward the best possible outcome for his client. He's the best. read more

Gold standard! Whether you are looking to buy or sell your home, Henry Plascencia will exceed all of your expectations. He is exceptionally knowledgable, unquestionably trustworthy, and importantly, a seasoned pro in getting the deal done. Henry is all about helping you to achieve your goals. He listens, advises and guides, without an ounce of pressure. Then when you're ready, Henry goes into action and is there for you, every step of the way. We never imagined getting this level of service with a real estate agent but Henry is no ordinary realtor. When we needed to sell a property while dealing with a loss in our family, Henry took care of everything. From prepping the house to the listing, Henry was efficient and caring, ultimately getting us the best price and a quick close. For our new home purchase in one of the most competitive markets, Henry's guidance and patience throughout the process was invaluable. Henry was a coach, counselor and a go-to resource directory, 24/7. Henry got us into the right house -- a true home. Even after the closing, he's been there for us and offered "if you ever need anything, please let me be your first call". That defines his approach and caliber of service. We could not be more thankful to have had Henry by our side and could not recommend him more highly to any of you looking for an exceptional realtor. read more

If you want an agent who will support, advocate AND deliver, stop looking and work with Henry. Three years ago he helped my husband and I sell our home in Atwater Village (an emotional sale for us, topped off by a squirrely buyer), and handled it all with incredible calm, grace and professionalism. Over the last 2.5 years we'd been searching for a new place (during which time he never rushed, forced or grew impatient with us) and finally found it in Monterey Hills. Henry proceeded to helm the most stress-free purchase ever, and we had our keys in record time. When we had questions, he answered them swiftly and thoroughly. When we had concerns, he heard us and offered valuable perspective and insight. When we got our keys, he was as thrilled for us as were were! He genuinely loves what he does and that passion shines through. We can't recommend working with Henry highly enough! read more

I worked with Henry on the recommendation of two friends, both of whom sang his praises. I now understand why. As a first-time home buyer the process can be overwhelming, but Henry is a consistent source of clarity and calm. He knows how things work, he's always happy to explain what's happening or what the next steps will be, and he's interested in you finding the right home. Always genuine, never sales-y or pushy. As he said to me: "I live in the neighborhood. I want us to be able to say hello when we see each other at Trader Joe's." He's just a good guy. Even after the sale, Henry has been great with recommendations on painters, cleaners, HVAC folks, and anything else we needed. I've already recommended him to another buddy of mine...and will definitely use him again if we ever move. read more

Henry Plascencia helped my husband and I find, buy, and get settled into our first home. When we met Henry, he took the time to really listen and understand what we were looking for in a home. He was very responsive and well connected in the real estate community so that he was able to work quickly to get us a showing or provide us with more information about the listing. We valued his opinion because we could tell he really wanted us to buy a house where we would be happy and not regret our decision a few months down the road. He spent many evenings talking things over with us about pros/cons of listings, neighborhoods, finances, etc. He never made us feel pressured or that our concerns/questions were not valid. He has a talent of explaining situations clearly to people like us that did not have a whole lot of experience in the world for real estate, inspections, and home repairs. We strongly recommend Henry!! read more

My fianceé and I found Henry while researching Highland Park on the internet. His name kept popping up on listings and in search results. As we neared out move to LA, we decided to come out and pay him a visit. We met him early last year at his office in Los Feliz. He had an in depth conversation with us about what we were looking for in an house. He then drove us to a number of available properties and discussed the neighborhood, the options, the pricing and many other details. We decided on a short sale, which took months and aggressive follow up to bring to closure. He stayed with us patiently, keeping his calm, and only bringing us good news, while dealing with the rest. We eventually decided the house had fell into disarray and pulled out the deal. He patiently helped us out of the deal. We found another house, and invested another couple months, constantly asking questions, fighting fires, making offers, checking with contractors, inspectors, etc. We ended up losing the other house, due to our unwillingness to over pay for the property. Finally this spring, we found a house that fit our requirements. He quickly answered the phone like the first time we called him early last year, and pushed the process through (the house required a trip to Probate court, where he masterfully analyzed the crowd allaying our fears of overbid), helping us with all of the hurdles along the way. He got a great deal on the house, with a more than decent accommodation from the seller for a number of issues he helped us find via a few types of inspectors. After the purchase, he remained helpful, bringing us options for contractors, service people, vendors, mortgage brokers, you name it. What more can I say? These days you don't need a realtor to FIND your house, you have plenty of internet resources to do that, especially in a big city like LA. However you certainly need one to help you with everything else involved in the process. I don't know how we would have done it without Henry. read more

Henry was a blessing sent from wherever you believe blessings are sent. Seriously. He came into our lives and showered us with expertise, patience, and honesty. Everything that the previous reviewers have written is exactly true. You cannot say enough to describe the way in which Henry peacefully and even joyfully guides you through the potentially stressful experience of purchasing a home. He has extensive knowledge, experience, and connections, not to mention his charismatic nature which makes everyone fall in love with him. I would recommend him to ANYONE buying a house in the greater Los Angeles area and would never dream of using another realtor. read more

I love this office, the agents and staff are professionals, and informative.

I can't imagine working with a better agent than Henry. He found us our first home - a condo in Los Feliz - five years ago, and now he sold that same condo for us (for well over asking, with multiple offers - yay!) and he's found us our first house! He helped us navigate a tricky market, and was incredibly patient with us. We looked for over a year and a half and put offers in on 4 other houses before getting ours. He knows the Los Angeles area so well and is very honest and forthright about his opinions. He never tried to push us out of our comfort zone (if bidding got too high on certain homes he would tell us if he thought we'd be overpaying for something - he never pushed us to pay more just so he could make the sale) and he was also very honest about neighborhoods, steering us away from certain homes because he didn't think the area was up to our standards. He goes above and beyond, helping navigate and manage selling some of our furniture to the buyer of our condo, and even helping out with finding a contractor for our new house. He even went so far as to do the initial walk through with us with our contractor, after we had already purchased the home (when he had nothing else to gain), just because he's a super nice guy and genuinely loves what he does. We will definitely use him again when it's time to move, and we have, and will continue, to recommend him to all of our friends. I can't imagine any real estate agent working harder for us and sincerely wanting us to be happy. He is the best! read more

Five stars isn't even adequate. We recently decided to sell our beloved home in Los Angeles and after much research, we reached out to Henry (he sold our neighbor's home for over asking price a year ago). We wanted an honest and sharp realtor who could do the job for us while we were living out of state. We have zero regrets with our choice. It was a difficult decision for us to list our home, as we loved our little gem so very much and Henry was empathetic with our emotional decision and above and beyond professional. He made the entire process easy and even enjoyable, which is an odd thing to say when saying goodbye to a home that was so much more than a house to us. He answered all of our questions before we even had to ask them and we sold our home for well over asking price with an incredible 12 offers, which far exceeded our expectations, as our sweet little home had only one bedroom. Henry worked hard to market our home in the right way and always was sure to communicate regularly with us. We are now selling a home in a different state and only wish Henry could work with us, as we have found that exceptional realtors are very hard to find. Henry is meant to do what he does and you will be lucky to work with him. Thank you, Henry! read more

We are first time home buyers and met Henry at an open house. Having worked in real estate for a few years in NYC, I could immediately tell how smart, knowledgeable, and on it Henry is -- so we asked him to work with us. We closed on our dream home yesterday and he made the experience completely transparent and uncomplicated. He also has an encyclopedic knowledge of real estate, home ownership, renovations, and anything else you can imagine related to buying a home. He is responsive and attentive - and we always felt taken care of. He was our best advocate in this process and helped get us everything we wanted. We trust him completely and we're walking into our new home feeling confident and secure. I have several friends who have bought in LA over the past year, and not a single one of them have had the experience we had with Henry. We feel fortunate to have had him as our agent. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

My wife and I have worked with Henry on three transactions. He represented us in the purchase of current home in 2008, sold our former home later that year (after the financial markets collapsed); both in the Mount Washington area of Los Angeles; and again this year (2015), he sold my mother's home in Alhambra. Henry is a consummate professional. His expert knowledge of trends and current conditions in the local real estate market is spot-on; his clients get an honest and reliable estimate of value. He has a deep network of specialized associates (estate sale, painting, home improvement, hauling, etc.) who go great work for reasonable fees on those matters that frequently are needed for a home sale. For our first sale, Henry arranged a private and public open house from which the ultimate buyer emerged. For the second sale, a single open house surfaced the ultimate buyer. Both transactions executed without incident, Henry was diligent every step of the way. He is always reachable, and is always prompt to return calls, texts and e-mails. I have recommended Henry to others in the past and am happy that he asked me to write this referral now. You will be in no better hands than his for your real estate transaction needs. read more

Henry is a JOY to work with. He is incredibly knowledgeable, resourceful, friendly, and experienced. My husband and I were looking for a house in LA while living in NYC. We were lucky enough to find Henry who streamlined the whole process for us. He was able to check out houses for us before we flew out to look in person. He would take us on virtual walk thrus via face time and send pictures and videos. Henry is full of useful information and advice that exceeded our expectations. He was communicative and responded to all our emails and phone calls promptly. He was able to get things to happen very fast - recommending amazing inspectors and helping us after we closed with advice and recommendations. He loves his job and is excited as we were about the whole process. I can't imagine a better realtor to work with and can HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in the area. Every person we met had nice things to say about him - even other realtors. Henry is the best. read more
