I couldn't be his client because I was looking for a leasing agent and his firm doesn't provide the service. Regardless, he took so much time and care to educate me on the LA market and helping guide me in a meaningful way.

Ray Lyon has to be the most spectacular realtor anyone could ever hope for. We had interviewed…read moreseveral realtors in the West LA area to help sell our family home while we were quite a distance away. At our initial meeting we could tell that Ray was a straight shooter, insanely knowledgeable on all things real estate with deep expertise regarding the Westside and how to achieve the ideal outcome beyond all expectations. We put our trust in Ray, followed his guidance every step of the way and WOW the results were exceptional ! Ray made what could have been a very challenging process a simply amazing experience. We needed painting done, yup, he took care of that well below what it would have cost us, needed a plumber, yup he got that too, wait we needed to move all the furniture....OMG he got that done, multiple times saving us countless trips and expense hiring our own professionals....We saved thousands simply by working with Ray AND to top it off his strategy to sell the home was brilliant ( a bit scary but we went with it); resulting in a crazy fast sale, not to mention an ultimate offer and closing price that was approx 200K OVER the asking price. We never expected that but once again Ray delivered so far beyond our expectations. Rays the real deal, no one can top his super service and outstanding results. I never really saw the value of any realtor over several past home sales but holy cow...this was different. If you are searching for a realtor go no further. We highly recommend Ray as the very best you will ever find if you are looking to list or purchase a home. WOOOHOOOOOOO.....so lucky to have had this entire experience with Ray !

From our first consultation, Sue really listened to what we were looking for, respected our price range, and provided seasoned advice that lead us to make our own educated decisions and not get too caught up in the emotion of home buying. I really didn't know what to expect going into the process but she made it feel easy. A few highlights: RESPONSIVE - She replies almost immediately to every text and email. When it came to closing, she was on top of all parties involved. PROFESSIONAL - There is no BS and no time wasted with Sue. RESPECTED - When we would share who we were working with at open houses, all the listing agents knew Sue and based on their reactions, respected her as well. Her strong network helped us on multiple accounts. PERSISTENT - Sue fought for us. We would have never ended up getting the dream home we did without her persistence.

After a few conversations, I knew she was someone who would go above and beyond for her clients--and she proved that tenfold. Isabelle became my agent, and from day one, she gave it her all. We faced a tough market with stiff competition, bidding wars, and more than a few disappointments. Time after time, homes slipped through our fingers to buyers with deeper pockets. I'll admit, I was ready to give up. But Isabelle never let me lose hope. She kept encouraging me, making call after call to listing agents, and even making the long trek from Venice to Pasadena just to show me a home she thought might be "the one." Thanks to her tireless work and unwavering belief, we finally found and secured our dream home. I truly don't believe this would have happened without Isabelle. She went above and beyond--far beyond what most agents would do. In fact, we wouldn't have been able to afford the home without her resourcefulness and determination. Isabelle is more than just an outstanding real estate agent--she's become a friend for life. If you're lucky enough to work with her, know that you're in the best hands possible.

We were very picky buyers but Trevor was extremely patient and understanding - above and beyond.

Once we were in escrow he made the process easy and walked us through each step. Highly recommend!

She was extremely patient with us, and helped to walk us through and explain every process so we felt comfortable throughout the experience. Her knowledge of real estate around Santa Monica is incredible. We had such a great first experience that we used her to help sell our home in 2019 as we were moving out of California for work. Again she hit the nail on the head with helping us though the entire process not only with pricing and setting up the listing, but helping coordinate with contractors and a stager to present as best as possible and as a result was able to get us well over asking in a quick turnaround which is exactly what we needed. Even when there were some bumps in the process, she went above and beyond to make things easier on us and personally handled many of the tough conversations with HOA, new buyers, etc. I would highly recommend Heather and appreciate so much all that she has done to help us with our first home purchase and sale!

It's hard to put together words to describe the experience that Chad provided in my new home buying…read moreprocess, but let's just say I'm beyond impressed. First off, speed, when it comes to quickness on every phone call or text being answered within minutes. Every piece of the contract and documents were handled immediately. Every aspect of the inspections were scheduled quickly, and then after purchase rescheduled to complete anything necessary the day the keys were handed over. I truly don't think there's a quicker agent out there. The professionalism Chad holds up, at such a young age, I feel is unmatched. Yet all done so in a friendly and comfortable feeling way. I had 10+ other agent connections to choose from and glad I made this decision. Not to mention the $50k seller credit that was achieved for repairs found during inspections. Overall I can go on an on about how happy I am with everything, but I can't speak more highly of this experience, and will happily refer Chad to any and all looking to buy a house. Oh, and the celebration dinners are the cherry on top! Thanks Chad for everything you do!

Simply put Chad was amazing. There are a few things that I want to highlight (among many). We have…read morebeen looking for a home for over 3 years. Before we met Chad we had been working with another agency for about 1.5 years. Our prior agent clearly lost enthusiasm to work with us over that time period. At the end, it felt like a long-term partner losing interest in a relationship. And then we met Chad and his team by chance at a showing. Immediately thereafter Chad shared with us off-market listings that met the characteristics that were important to us, and his level of enthusiasm and responsiveness was consistently at a high level throughout our entire odyssey. With each home that we had interest in, he took the time to explain his recommended approach and the underlying rationale, and answered all of our questions no matter how minute or silly. When we identified the property we ended up closing on, Chad brilliantly guided us with a strategy that led to immediate acceptance of our offer before even the first official open house. There were some identified issues with the property during inspections, and Chad negotiated a significant drop in purchase price and seller credit. He went above and beyond to get the best deal for us. We had pre-arranged travel plans and had an extremely tight schedule to close and move before traveling, and Chad persisted in communicating with our loan agent and we were able to sign documents in time to close in time. Finally, Chad has continued to arrange quotes for the work that needs to be completed in the new home all while organizing work that needs to be done on our current residence to sell as well. I feel so at peace traveling knowing that Chad is here continuing to oversee all aspects of preparing both homes. I can't speak highly enough of Chad and would recommend him wholeheartedly and unreservedly to anyone that I know.

They looked out for our best interest and fought for us and difficult negotiations with the seller's team to make sure we were getting the best deal we possibly could.

We don't have the luxury of time or finances to rebuild in the Palisades, so we've decided to relocate to Carlsbad, CA to be closer to family. Deciding to sell our lot in the Alphabet Streets was a heart-wrenching decision but who to list it with was never in question. Mike Edlen and his team (Tati is the BEST!) were there for us every step of the way. Every time I called Michael, he would pick up the phone and say in his friendly voice, "hello Sharon Sutton, how are you and what can I do for you today?" While we had an idea of what we wanted to list our lot for, Michael suggested a different strategy. We listened to his wise council and within a day we had multiple offers (4 then then another later). From the moment we hired Michael's team to closing escrow (in 21 days!), they held our hands and answered our most outrageous questions. This was the one phase of this long and anguishing journey that began on January 7th that I knew and trusted we'd be taken care of, and we were. Thank you, Michael (and Team Tati), for being such a fine, upstanding person who truly believes in helping others. It was a pure pleasure doing business with you. Jack and Sharon Sutton
