We recently used The Halton/Pardee Leasing team to lease out our home in Venice for a long term lease. Keri, Josh and Lisé worked together to find us a great tenant. They accurately predicted what our home would lease for and how long it would take to get the property leased. They were very thorough in vetting the tenant and handled the whole application and leasing process flawlessly. The way they work as a team is really great because they are always available to handle every issue or concern. I highly recommend Halton/Pardee to handle your leasing needs. I also strongly recommend them to sell your home as well. We have used them in the past to sell an investment property for us. read more

I have just got the keys for my first home in Los Angeles and I couldn't be happier. About six weeks ago I was passing the Halton Pardee office on Ocean Park and stepped in to talk to them about the kind of home that I was looking for. I wasn't sure I could find it, competition for homes in my area is tough. My realtor Tommy Nocera listened carefully to what I wanted from a home and he understood what my priorities where. The home I have brought was the first one that he showed me, but he understood that even though it was a perfect fit I had to be sure about it. He took time to show me different houses, he understood when I fell in love with a beach cottage, but he also made sure that I didn't go crazy and end up with a great home but no money. And eventually when the time was right he brought me back to the first house we looked at. Once the offer was accepted he talked me through the alien land of Escrow, inspections and reports and helped me negotiate a great deal. If you are looking for a home in west LA Halton Pardee has to be your first choice, they have extensive local knowledge, a great portfolio of properties and fantastic realtors, I can't recommend them more highly.

We have worked with Tami and team for 2+ years now. I have never before worked with such fast moving, and savvy team. Tami and team are very well known and respected in Venice, Marina Del Rey and Santa Monica and were able to help us sell two of our properties for a higher than expected price per square foot in less than 3 weeks. They laid out the process nicely so we knew exactly what to expect at each point and told us how we would shift strategy depending on market reaction to the listing. Having said all this, what I do admire about Tami's team is that they're highly focused, with no room for anything but professional work. This had made my experience with them super pleasant time after time. And did I mention they give 10% of their profit back to your charity of choice? They're nothing short of awesome. read more

We couldn't have been happier with Kerry Ann and Eric and the rest of the Halton Pardee team. Impeccable is the best word to describe their quality of service from their great handymen, housekeeper and referrals for stagers and painters to the extreme patience showed by Eric to my literal hundreds of questions I asked during the selling process to Kerry Ann's great insight into the market and strategy to get the target number we desired. It almost seemed too easy! The whole process from decision to sell through escrow only took two and a half months. If you are thinking of going with someone else it's worth the meeting to see what they can offer as they are VERY competitively priced, have great recommendations on easy repairs/updates that will triple their value and their services are far better then can be offered by an individual broker. I haven't experienced their service on the buying side yet but I would definitely sell with them again! read more

After I lost my job a few years ago, my husband and I decided to try and sell our house that my husband bought in 1979. We interviewed several agents in the area but chose Tami because she really understood the difficult decision it was and saw the value in our very unique house in Venice. At the time there was more inventory than demand so we were not able to get the price we wanted. However, along the way her team was amazing and even though we decided to take our house off the market after 6 months, she was totally understanding and did not pressure us in any way. When we decide to list our house again, she will definitely be our go-to gal and I could not recommend her more highly. read more

For about two years I was on an independent search for a single family home or a duplex in my price range on the West Side of Los Angeles. When I finally found the family compound of my dreams - a house with a legal guesthouse on a large lot in Mar Vista - I was not surprised that it was being sold by Halton Pardee Partners. They have grown to dominate the real estate market here, which gave me a slight prejudice against them. But I quickly learned they are dominating with good reason: they are friendly, forthright, strategic, hard-working, communicative AND they are nice. They work in teams, so there is always someone available to find an answer to your question. The people they train for their teams are organized and have great social skills. All of this made me glad I chose to go with their buyer's agent, Katie Pardee, and her assistant/team member, Emma Russell, even though it could have been a conflict of interest to use the same firm as the seller. Katie had the escrow company, the necessary inspectors and the repairmen at her fingertips. She made the appointments, expedited negotiations with the seller and left me with a clean property, as well as a list of handymen, housekeepers and utility companies to call. I admire her work ethic and I would choose her as my agent again were I to buy another property. read more

First there is Tami, who, in addition to being a simply wonderful human being, is an incredible agent. She sold our house in Marina del Rey for well above the market, and made the whole transaction simple. And then there are Kerry Ann, Katie, Elizabeth and the entire team at Pardee Properties, who are fabulous whether you're buying or selling. We're looking now, and I can honestly say that part of the joy of seeing properties is the opportunity to hang out with them. How much do we love all of them? Well, we've referred a lot of good friends and business associates to them. That tells the story. read more

Pardee Properties represented me in the sale of a Venice Beach income property. They were professional & responsive & made the process go smoothly. I felt their marketing of the property was extensive and their attention to detail during the transaction was key in making escrow close smoothly. read more

Tami and Kerry Ann helped us sell our home in Venice. These people know what they are doing. They were extremely professional, knowledgable, and helpful every step of the way. The pictures they took of our place were beautiful and the marketing materials they produced were impressive. This is a top-notch operation. Highly recommend. read more

Liz Bourneouf at Halton Pardee & Partners was a tremendous help for my wife and I as we went through the purchase process of our first home. We'd been in touch with several real estate agents prior, but Liz was different. She immediately knew what we were looking for, wasn't pushy, and completely supported us through the purchasing process. She was readily available day or night to answer any questions we had. We couldn't have asked for a nicer buying experience. Thank you! read more

Not sure how much I can say about the wonderful experience I had with Michelle Berryhill without you assuming I'm her father. We were buying a condo in Playa Vista under construction while living 2500 miles away in Florida. I so much wanted to be there and watch the progression of the construction but that wasn't possible. I was never disappointed having contracted with Pardee to represent us in our purchase. Michelle, of course, did all the required things necessary for the purchase of our condo. However, she did so much more. She was doing weekly reconnaissance of our condo and sending us pictures and videos of the progress. She was continuously communicating with us and the construction supervisor to give us progress reports. She really made this long distance new home purchase so easy and made us feel like we were almost there. We truly felt Michelle was always looking out for us and I would in fact be happy to call her my daughter. She is amazing. read more

Tami and her team are just fantastic to work with. Everyone there is extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive, and they make what can be a very complicated and stressful process a whole lot easier. I've worked with them as both a buyer and a seller and I can't recommend them more highly. I also love their charitable giving program! Just a great company and great group of people. read more

After searching for a home for over 2 years, we finally found the right home in the right neighborhood with the help of Pardee Properties. Tami Pardee and Kerry Ann Sullivan helped us to to sell our Venice home and referred us to their associate Patrice Allchorn because of her familiarity and expertise with the Palisades area. Patrice was warm and encouraging from the very start. She sent us listings on a regular basis and accompanied us to many open houses and private showings. She respected our decision-making process but also shared her insights and expert opinion to guide when needed. Like any home buying venture, there were challenges and stressors, but Patrice remained supportive, steady, and motivated. Once we found the right place, Patrice helped us to shape our plan with a strong offer that secured us our home. She was extremely active during the escrow process and was in very regular contact with our lender to mitigate any delays. If you are looking to sell your home or make a purchase, there is NO reason to choose anyone but Pardee. Do it. You won't regret it. read more

This is the first time we have used Tami Pardee. We had a great experience working with her. She and her team are professional and get the job done. If you want your house sold at the best possible price, this is the agent to use. She also helped us buy a new home and was able to get it for us, even though there were multiple other people who wanted it. Tami is a problem solver and has the edge on her competitors. Very very knowledgeable about the current market. Highly recommend!! read more

Holy moly, Katie Pardee--you are my hero! My husband and I recently purchased our first home in Venice, CA. The seller was 'emotional' and there was no shortage of twists, turns and unexpected waters to navigate. Katie was equal parts teacher, coach and saint, and we felt so confident backed by her expertise and advocacy. The generosity of time and spirit on the part of the entire Pardee team was extraordinary. They were literally available to us 24/7. Not to mention they know all the best finance dudes, inspectors, repair guys, you name it. And they're a great community member who gives a percentage of each sale to your choice of local charity! Pardee was recommended to us by multiple friends, and I can undoubtedly see why! I'm confused as to why anyone would choose a different partner for the wild ride that is Venice real estate. THANK YOU KATIE AND TAMI FOR EVERYTHING! read more

I've never had a better real estate experience, than with Pardee Properties. My family has bought and sold many properties over the years and we have worked with several agents in all different areas- I have to say that NONE of them even compare to Tami and her team. From start to finish, our experience was easy, comfortable, and with full guidance and support. Not once did we feel like they didn't have our backs or have full knowledge of all angles of this intricate deal. We are so appreciative of their hard work, honesty, and professionalism- they are seriously the best of the best and I can't imagine using any other brokerage than Pardee Properties. Simply amazing! read more

Pardee Properties is a group of dedicated trust worthy people. Today it is hard to find people you can believe will do what is right for you, they are the people to believe in. The Pardee team puts clients interests first. It may be unusual to say a realtor is compassionate but they are caring people who give back some of their profits to various charities. Professional, professional, professional. read more

We could not be happier about our decision to work with Pardee Properties to sell our place. We had a marathon day of interviewing six brokers, and as soon as the last one left, our choice was clear: go with Tami and Kerry Ann. They knew exactly which buyers our place would appeal to, the small additions that would make it even more desirable (they even gave us an inexpensive shopping list at IKEA for the items we needed), and had the listing up and running in no time. It not only sold within two weeks, but broke the price-per-foot record for the neighborhood. Throughout the process, communication was frequent and clear. As I said, we could not be happier. read more

Working with the Pardee Group was amazing! They are very personable and easy to work with. They put my needs first and seek the best interest for me. There is a reason Pardee Properties is top notch in Venice ! read more

Had a great experience with Nancy Osborne and Brian Chung when selling our Venice condo. They were incredibly responsive, know the neighborhood, did a great job in managing the sale while we had a tenant in place, and were generally fantastic to work with. You won't find a better team in the area, and I would use them again on the buy or sell side in a heartbeat. read more

I found every aspect of my interaction with Tami and her team to be beyond my expectation. She was already familiar with the property I was selling. She came in knowledgeable, realistic and prepared. Every deadline was met or beat. All the guesswork, gruntwork and nitty gritty of handling a real estate transaction was handled smoothly and with a minimum of unnecessary back and forth or confusion. And everyone was friendly. I wish I could say something bad to make it seem like I wasn't paid to write this. But it is all true and I really can't find a nit to pick. read more

Tami, and her staff are wonderful. It made selling our house so easy. It was in need of some repairs (paint, refinish floors, etc) before sale, and the contractors that Pardee uses are exceptional. Prompt, friendly and of the highest quality. I would highly recommend Pardee Properties to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. And a special 'thank you' to our Pardee Agent, Penny Muck, who kept us up to date on a daily basis of the progress of our sale. Thank you to everyone at Pardee Properties!! read more

We worked with the amazing Pardee Property team with the buying and selling of a house. Needless to say, it was quite a stressful undertaking BUT Justin and Tami made the sale of our house so easy and stress-free. The entire transaction would not have happened without them and we are now in our dream home and are so happy. If you are looking to buy on the westside this is the company to work with. They are knowledgable and so helpful. Justin made our transaction enjoyable with his calmness and humor. We miss talking to him and love everyone over there. Thank you, Justin, Tami, Katie and team!! read more

A second review of Halton Pardee: shortly after the sale I wrote about in May, Halton Pardee helped me buy another property, and once again the experience was everything I could hope for. Jeremy clearly understood the market, was amply aware of all the options, and tirelessly worked to make the transaction as painless for me as possible. I would have no reservations about recommending Halton Pardee to anybody. read more

i would not recommend Pardee if you are in the situation that is not straight forward... divorces, multiples sellers, deeds... The customer service is just not there to support it or even understand. My experience was just horrid no matter how much warning I gave Tami and Penny in September it could be complicated. Everything was delayed, my co-seller was playing, canceling and or straight up not doing open houses and Pardee could not do anything about it specially after he requested yet another agent Tiffany to represent just him even though in side conversations she was OUR agent and she was making decisions on OUR behalf without me actually knowing because Penny was the one i met as my agent. Nobody was on the same page. Also, the entire pricing strategy was kept in secret from me for 3 (three!!!) months and house was put up for more than $300K the market could support. However, the moment the house did not generate any interest for one open house i was cornered immediately to reduce the price. It was not until December i by coincidence learned the conversations about the price i should have known in September after i insisted on actually meeting Tiffany as my agent too. Despite the ladies being sweet, Tami even gave me crystal purple heart in september with a promise that everything will be ok (I have not seen her since) they did not want to put any bounding agreements onto the paper, our MOT was a bust after our listing agreement was shortened from 180 to 60 days and expired right before xmas. Only my insisting and threat to switch agents got them a bit serious...but then they went overboard and have their lawyer writing up 'agreement' about 3 open houses a month and email-only correspondence, which was immediately broken again with only 2 open houses in january and text msg and calls flying left and right... After the house finally got an offer in February it was $500K lower than we started with :( but also the disclosure process was managed so unprofessionally when our notes were just slammed together hand written into Docusigns, no guidance, no editing, no follow up ... Buying and selling condo previously, this was the most butchered transaction i remember so far. There was a moment i wanted to report them to BRE for their info concealment, value misrepresentation, no advance notices, equal representation was a joke so was pressure to sign contract with buyers i was not comfortable with! Have i mentioned to be wary of their sweetness and gather all the facts before you decide to do business with Pardee? Please, do yourself a favor and save yourself tons of money, time and frustration :) read more

I cannot recommend Pardee Properties highly enough! My husband and I just closed on our first home -- a townhouse in Santa Monica. As anyone who's looking to buy on the Westside knows, it is REALLY hard to get a place right now. There aren't many places for sale, and any decent property that hits that market gets multiple offers way over asking and, all too often, the dreaded cash offer. Well, when the townhouse we just purchased hit the market, it was so great that someone made an offer without even seeing it (i.e. before the open house). After the open house, there were six offers total, and one was all cash. I am certain that we would not have gotten our place if it weren't for Cassandra Monnastes, our agent from Pardee Properties. It started with Cassandra arriving at the open house thirty minutes before we did so that she could check out the place. Once we arrived, she went through the place with us and did not express her opinion until after we stated ours. I really appreciated that because it really doesn't matter what your agent thinks about a place if YOU don't love it. Nobody wants an agent trying to convince you to buy a place. Anyway, I told Cassandra that we loved the place and that we HAD to have it. Only then did she tell us that she agreed, and that it was a really special unit. From there, Cassandra expertly navigated when to submit our initial offer, and assisted us in coming up with the price. After that, we received a general counter from the seller that was rather aggressive in its terms. Cassandra never tried to talk us into going forward and/or accepting the terms of the counter. Once we told Cassandra that we were all in, Cassandra was invaluable in determining how much the property would probably sell for and what it was worth. This was critical information when deciding how much to offer. Keep in mind that you are bidding in the dark -- you have no idea what others are offering. And you want your offer to be high enough that you get the place, but low enough that the property still appraises if you're getting a loan. Cassandra also made sure that we wrote a letter to the seller and included a photo of ourselves. Long story short, WE GOT THE PLACE EVEN WITH AN ALL CASH BUYER COMPETING FOR IT. This wasn't the only property we saw with Cassandra. She never once tried to sell us on a place. She was supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable, aggressive, hard-working, and cool. She also has great taste. She's helped us beyond just the purchase of the property. At my request, she recommended an interior decorator, a contractor, ideas. The bottom line is this: if you are looking to purchase property anywhere in Los Angeles, but especially on the Westside, you're making a mistake if you go with anyone other than Pardee Properties. read more

Justin Alexander and Tami Pardee where nothing short of amazing! They know Venice and positioned the unique features of our property and location to sell our place at top dollar. We had a challenge for them to sell in 14 days so we could leverage the proceeds for another purchase. They delivered a sales price 16% above market average, executed under our tight deadline, were always present when our home was shown, and negotiated a 10-day lease back for a $1 to make it effortless to move into our new dream home only .5 miles away. Justin and Tami were simply remarkable to work with and always represented our property with class. Mark, Sir Winston and I are forever grateful! read more

Stormie Leoni (and Halton Pardee overall) was a total pleasure to work with. I entered into the situation a bit resistant and distrustful -- of the world of real estate agents generally, and even more so because we were selling our house in the context of a (friendly but emotionally difficult) divorce. Not only was Stormie a strong advocate and negotiator, but she also handled our situation with enormous sensitivity, positivity and good humor. She kept us fully informed and gave us helpful advice every step of the way. I always felt confident that we were in good hands. Our house sold quickly, quite painlessly and for as high a price as we could have hoped for! I would highly recommend her to others looking to sell their homes. read more

Tami Pardee is the best person to sell your house. She makes everything easy, returns every phone call, knows how to get you the best possible price for your property, and her staff are all very nice to deal with. If you want the best, call Tami Pardee. read more

My wife and I simply love working with Pardee - specifically Penny Muck as our selling agent and Tamara Mattox as our buying agent (see below). We recently completed the sale of our very unique Santa Monica art gallery-inspired home, and are extremely pleased with the results. Selling Agent Penny was absolutely instrumental in every aspect of the sale process. We decided to put the house on the market in early-December, but had a planned 6 month sabbatical starting almost immediately with the holidays. Penny worked with me in the weeks leading up to our departure to organize a slew of contractors to accomplish the necessary polish for the sale. She had great ideas and connected us with some of the people who came and performed the work. It was startlingly easy for us, but must have been a real chore for her. She also spent a huge amount of her time once we had departed supervising the work done on significant projects like interior repainting, roof repairs, resurfacing the floors, staging of furniture, working with our movers and storage location, deck construction and gardening. She was professional, friendly, available, brilliant and truly made the process work through her diligence, communication and work ethic. I like that Pardee structures their organization to allow agents to solely work on selling (other agents represent buyers). This seemed to really keep Penny focused and highly informed on the status of the market - all to our advantage. Pardee also went all out on the marketing front... everything from beautiful photography to print media to a strong online push (including video). Because of the unique nature of our house it did remain on the market for a few months, however the level of effort by Penny and her team never lagged. We always felt informed and comfortable that everything possible was being done. After about 3 months we had a meeting with Pardee senior staff and Penny to discuss the fact that it hadn't sold. The outcome was a full re-marketing of the house with a slightly different pitch. This included new photography, print media, re-staging of the house and a gallery-style art party - thrown by Penny and Pardee while my wife and I were traveling. It was extravagantly marketed and catered at their expense. It was truly far beyond the norm for a real estate agency to do something like that. I'm sure the other reviews mention it, but after escrow had closed we received surprise gifts... His and hers Linus bikes, a Timbuk2 messenger bag and a book to remember the old house. We were blown away. We can't thank Penny enough - it truly was a complicated sale, and I don't think anyone else could have done it. Infinite thanks to Penny and Halton Pardee Purchasing Agent: Tamara Mattox at Halton Pardee was incredibly helpful in finding our new home! She efficiently scheduled 10 home visits within 3 days and successfully met our extremely tight timeline of about two weeks from start to finish. She even helped us negotiate a significantly better price . We also really enjoyed spending time with her. She has an awesome attitude and really helped us understand the process and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. We found her to be incredibly honest and easy to talk to. She found a perfect house for us and we could not be happier. We will use her as our next purchasing agent! read more

I have a rental property on the Westside, and Pardee Properties has been my listing agent three times. Each time I was very satisfied with their services and with the tenant they found for me. This past summer, I worked with John and Penny who are a great team. The entire process was painless and positive. They got the listing online and the signs up in a very timely manner and started showing the property right away. I was informed of each showing in advance. John always arrived early at the property to get it ready for showing. He was both very friendly and very professional...and very patient when there would be a no-show or last-minute cancellation. But it only took about 2 weeks to find a great tenant. The application and contract signing process went quickly and I am very happy with my new tenant. John and Penny were accessible throughout the entire process and were always available to answer any questions I had. And the couple of times I walked into the office, I was greeted warmly. They're all just a very nice group of people who seem to really enjoy what they're doing. I would not hesitate to recommend Pardee Properties, and especially John and Penny, for anyone looking to find a great listing agent for their rental property. read more

Wow! This team puts on a classy open house and is customer service driven! I have used them on both sides and have been drawn to the service and knowledge they offer. read more

Developer of 6 small lot subdivision homes Culver City adjacent in the City of Los Angeles. We brought in Pardee to market our project's edgy design and up and coming location just east of Helms Bakery. They met our high expectations and their responsiveness, marketing expertise, boots on the ground presence and overall representation of our project was excellent. Conversations were team oriented and we always felt like a priority. Highly recommended. Jonathan and Kerry Ann were our main contacts. Nice people and very competent. read more

Please see Michael G's review from 8/5/15! Having gone through the home buying process with him, Rachael, and the Pardee team, I can only echo his remarks! Rachael and her team provided excellent client and process management and were an overall pleasure to work with! read more

Fantastic to work with! Highly recommended for your real estate needs! Very knowledgeable and able to ensure the process went smoothly and kept us informed through the entire process. Went over and above to guide us into an extremely successful transaction. I would certainly recommend to all in the area. Tami has a unique edge in this booming area and her years of experience shined through in making this process highly successful. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Penny Muck and John Owens who helped lease my home in Venice. They were fun and easy to work with and totally on top of their game. From advising me on how the house needed to be prepped, to suggesting people to make repairs, writing the listing, photographing the property, home showings, contract negotiations -- I couldn't have felt more taken care of in the whole process! They made an otherwise stressful process, super-easy, and I couldn't be more grateful. read more

I can't begin to tell you how much we loved our experience with Pardee-all thanks to our realtor Matt Freeman. Matt found us our new house, sold our old one and during the process felt like a member of the family. Moving houses is stressful! Having Matt there to guide us through the process and make everything easy on us was exactly what we needed. His experience was invaluable as was his kindness. Bottom line, he was our rock. read more

We hired Pardee to list our home after meeting with Kerry Ann and Tami. They were energetic, knowledgeable, friendly, and highly accommodating of our schedule. Our home needed a little extra work to get it ready for market and Kerry Ann was there every step of the way to help. We could not be happier with the strategy, execution and results that they provided for us. read more

Katie and her team always exude a high level of professionalism. They always negotiate in a Fidelity National Home Warranty for all of their clients, which is going above and beyond the call of duty. All of my business interactions with them have been such a pleasure. Liz and Courthey are always on point. read more

An absolute pleasure to work with, the experience with them is like working with a personal concierge service. They anticipate your needs and take care of them before you ask. If and when something needs to be taken care of, they are more than glad to do it for you. Anything that needs to be done at or for your home, they will bid out, supervise and take care of for you. And before you can ask for an update, they have already emailed you one. On top of that they know the market better than anyone. Their marketing materials including the videos and photos are the best I've seen. Highly recommend and would certainly work with them again. read more
