My wife and I worked with Lotti and Italo to buy a 2-beroom condo on Glendon Avenue in Palms. After living there for several years, we worked with them again to sell it and buy a 3-bedroom condo in the building next door. After several years there, we worked with them to buy a house on Tilden Avenue and to rent the condo (they found us an excellent tenant). When the tenant left after two years they helped us sell the condo. After 10 years in the house, we decided to move to a rental apartment in the Marina and IF Realty represented us in selling the house.
When we were looking for a house to meet our multiple requirements I grew tired of looking and wanted to settle for a house that seemed to come close. Lotti strongly advised us not to buy it, for excellent reasons. I was impressed by the fact that she was out to make sure we found the right house, not grab a commission. Despite her advice, we made an offer on the house. Fortunately it was not accepted. A week later we found the perfect house and bought it at a good price. (The first house finally sold at a lower price than we offered.)
IF realty represented us in a total of 6 transactions, 3 buys and 3 sells. They were patient, had a deep knowledge of the Westside, and pointed out things we would not have seen on our own. In addition, Italo meticulously went over every piece of paper involved in each transaction and, in every case, discovered at least one error in the paperwork of the other side, enabling us to correct the defects before they screwed up the sale or purchase. read more
