I was a first time home buyer who was dreading looking for a home that was the right size, good location, and affordable. Jerome Ball helped guide me through the minefield of Los Angeles real estate purchasing and we bought a home that exceeded our expectations. Jerome's access, speed, research, attention to detail, and ability to close a deal are what I found to be qualities that separate him from other agents. When I first started my search for an agent, I contacted seasoned agents who had great reviews and specialized in certain areas I wanted to live in. What I found is that it took a day to get in contact with them and some simply we're too busy to look at new homes on the market. In the LA real estate market timing is incredibly important. Jerome understood those requirements and was incredibly accessible and very fast. Whether it was phone, text, or email, Jerome was always available to answer any questions or contact me with new information. He was also extremely fast to inform me of new homes on the market and show them as quickly as possible. Jerome was a very good researcher also. I was certain which city and area of Los Angeles I wanted to buy. However once Jerome understood my needs, he was able to find a new and upcoming area that met my same needs and was much closer to the area I worked. He was also able to manage my expectations. There were times when I was excited after seeing a home and I would want to put in an offer. Jerome would research comparables and also tax records to see if there we're any issues of concern and sometimes advise against making an offer based off that research. If I was with another agent who was just looking to make a sale, they would've just gone forward with the sale. Jerome wanted to make sure I got the best home possible. Jerome's ability to close the deal saved my thousands. The drama begins when you finally found a home and have to make an offer. Minutes after a home went for sale and before it hit Redfin and Trulia, Jerome notified me and scheduled a showing asap. By the end of the day an offer was in and by the next morning Jerome worked the sellers agent to get them to say yes. I can't tell you how important that was as the coming weekend would've initiated more views and probably much higher offers. Jeromes attention to detail further saved me thousands. I wasn't prepared for the roller coaster that was 30-day escrow. Jerome made sure to get the sellers' agent to agree to important addendums. Pretty soon there were costly repairs that came up where the selling agent would try to balk by saying "the house is sold as is." But it was Jerome's important addendums to the purchase agreement that made sure I was protected from those costs. I strongly advise you work with Jerome Ball if you are looking for a home in Los Angeles. He came through for me to help me purchase my first home and exceeded my expectations. read more

Jerome was extremely easy to work with and overall a great resource! As first time home buyers, he took time to help us understand the process, and even met with us several times to go over what we were looking for. He listened really well and always had our best interest in mind. The best part was how quickly he always got back to us, and often would set up house showings the same day they became available. Jerome was quick to respond even on weekends, and honestly was the key to our offer getting accepted on our dream home. There are a lot of realtors out there that get their license too easily, and Jerome was one of the few that you could tell really knew his stuff. We will be keeping his contact information for the future! read more

Jerome went out of his way to help me find a rental in California. I live in Chicago and he would look for places everyday for me and would check them out in person since I couldn't. He is so efficient and kind and would always get back to me with any questions or concerns I had. I finally flew to California to see for myself some places and again he went out of his way to help. Was so nice meeting him in person because he's just as much of a hard worker and honest guy that I thought he was over the phone and through emails. He really cares for his clients. I would highly recommend anyone looking to buy or rent a place to contact Jerome. read more

I have been meaning to write a review for Jerome for a while, he helped us purchase our first home in Los Angeles in Jan 2016. We met him at one of his open houses and found him to be very honest and personable. After listening to our requirements he immediately said the house we had walked into wasn't what we were looking for. We hired him and it was a great decision. The fact he was so direct and not pushy made him really easy to work with, not to mention he was very responsive. This is what you need in a realtor since the market can move fast. Jerome is not just about the deal, he really takes the time to understand what you're looking for, is very thorough and you can tell he cares about you loving your purchase. We love the condo we're living in, thanks Jerome!! read more
