Even under the best circumstances, selling your first home is an emotional experience. There are countless decisions to make, and success often depends on quick action, clear communication, and trust. While those qualities are essential, working with someone you genuinely like and can laugh with makes all the difference. Having had a poor experience with other brokers and hearing others talk about how valuable having the right person can be, it was really important to find the right fit. We interviewed several over the course of a few months. Robbie was, without question, the best part of our experience. Whether it was late in the evening or while he was on a family vacation, he was always there when we needed him. If we needed a resource, he had one and would take the extra step of making sure the vendor was being responsive and needs were being met. If we needed advice, he thoughtfully walked us through the pros and cons of every option without ever pressuring us toward a particular decision. He was personally involved every step of the way and was regularly checking in, never overstepping and always making sure we were comfortable and informed. We wish there was a Robbie in every area of our lives - capable, professional, focused on the big picture and the small details, great sense of humor and just a pleasure to work with. Robbie also represented us in the purchase of a new home and was incredibly skilled at balancing both transactions simultaneously. He kept everything moving smoothly, stayed on or ahead of schedule, and somehow managed to be in multiple places at once. His organization, responsiveness, and attention to detail gave us confidence throughout the process. Although the purchase ultimately did not go through due to circumstances on our end, not his, one thing is certain: when we find the right home, we already know who we'll be calling. We genuinely look forward to working with Robbie again and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home. read more

Working with Robbie Sikora of Compass was an absolute masterclass in real estate professionalism. Selling a property is rarely simple, but our situation involved the added complexity of two separate Trusts with two out-of-state trustees. Robbie navigated these logistical hurdles with such poise and expertise that the distance never felt like an obstacle. From the very beginning, Robbie's comprehensive approach stood out: Market Expertise: In an uncertain market, his deep knowledge and strategic insights were invaluable. He knew exactly how to position the home to attract the right buyers. Marketing & Showings: The marketing materials were top-tier, and he managed the showings with a level of care that made us feel completely at ease. Negotiation: Robbie is a sharp, effective negotiator who clearly kept our best interests at the forefront throughout the entire process. What truly sets Robbie apart, however, is his willingness to go above and beyond the standard duties of a realtor. Since the owners were out of state, Robbie stepped in to manage the heavy lifting--literally. He personally supervised workers, coordinated essential repairs, managed a full clean-out of the property, and even oversaw the move-out of a piano. He handled every issue that we couldn't be there for in person, treating the property as if it were his own. If you are looking for a realtor who combines high-level strategy with genuine, hands-on dedication, I highly recommend Robbie Sikora. Anyone would benefit from having him in their corner. read more

Robbie Sikora is amazing. I had to take care of my mother's estate which included selling her house. The clean-up, organization of paperwork, and the disposal of items from her house was a daunting job. Amidst this, I had to find a real estate agent. Another daunting task. Then, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Robbie Sikora. He was a kind, enthusiastic, straightforward, honest, and well connected person. He was very thorough and prepared. For each of my tasks, he knew of, or found, the perfect person to connect me with. Whether I was looking for an appraiser, an insurance agent, or an organizer, he found just the right person to help me out. Throughout the whole process, I felt extremely well taken care of. Robbie did an excellent job of selling my mom's house and he consistently went the extra mile. read more

We have worked with 3 realtors in various years, and Robbie is the best one. He brings all his extensive knowledge as a realtor, HOA Board member, homeowner, and your advocate. As he is touring a property, he sees things that we wouldn't have and asks questions we wouldn't think of. Robbie also is very responsive, available, patient, and on top of all the details. He truly listened to us- what we wanted and our price point. His goal is to make you feel like his only client and he delivers (I'm not sure how!). We were able to buy our apt in a competitive market because of his savvy strategy (although we miss seeing our friend). I recommend him without reservations. read more

Robbie is amazing!! He is one of the most caring, attentive and savvy professionals I have ever worked with in any field! He helped me find the house of my dreams as a first time homebuyer, walked me through every step of the process, and did a great job negotiating the final deal. I feel tremendously fortunate to have worked with him! I cannot recommend him enough. I cannot recommend Robbie enough!!! read more

Selling and buying a home is one of the most stressful thing you can do. We're so happy we picked Robbie Sikora to guide us through it! What could've been a rough experience happened quickly, smoothly and successfully. That's due to Robbie's professionalism, his network of contacts, his ability to work with everyone, and his great personality. He listened to our concerns/anxiety patiently and was never condescending, despite having done a million of these transactions. Jamarr on his team is excellent too! Can't recommend them enough. And we broke the record price for our condo complex! Thanks Robbie! read more

We couldn't have asked for a better person to help us find our first home. Robbie made us feel like we were his only clients. He's super knowledgeable, responsive and personable. He truly treats his clients like family, and I never questioned if he had our best interests in mind. As first time buyers, we had A LOT of questions with which Robbie was incredibly patient and clear. Especially for first time buyers, the home buying process can be tedious and overwhelming, but Robbie made each step manageable and clear. Additionally, Robbie's connections for brokers, inspectors and repairmen have all knocked it out of the park. I would recommend Robbie to everyone buying or selling a home. read more

We recently purchased a cozy bungalow in Venice and it seriously would not have happened without Robbie. Getting an offer accepted in any market can be challenging and it takes a seasoned professional to navigate it. Robbie is in a league of his own! Even though we worked with him from the east coast, we felt as though we were Client #1. Our process was smooth and every detail was handled efficiently, calmly and with good humor. We felt as though we were working with a trusted friend. Real estate can be a very tense time for people since it involves so many high stakes issues. Working with Robbie was actually a joy and the absolute best real estate process we have been through. read more

Robbie made buying our first home easy and smooth. Robbie was extremely responsive to us, regardless of the time or frequency of our requests. He took us on numerous open houses and had great relationships with all the sellers' agents. Despite buying a home in a tumultuous time for the housing market, we were able to buy our dream home and we wouldn't have been able to do that without Robbie. We will definitely be using him for our future home buying/selling needs and recommending him to all our friends. read more

Robbie Sikora helped me through a difficult stretch. My father died suddenly a year after my mother passed, and amongst the myriad tasks that go with handling an estate, I had to sell his house. To make matters more difficult, although I grew up in that Santa Monica house, I now reside in north San Diego and making the trek north to Santa Monica is a big commitment between my work and family responsibilities. Fortunately, I was referred to Robbie to handle the real estate side of things, and the sale could not have gone better. First, Robbie referred me to an excellent appraiser. Second, the house was in terrible clutter, and Robbie referred me to an excellent cleaning service that took care of all the junk my dad had been hoarding for 50 years. Next, Robbie utilized his network to determine if there was a reasonable buyer without going to market. During this time, the housing market had cooled and interest rates rose, so it was unclear what we could get for the house. My desire was to get the house sold quickly, and the process of staging and shopping it on the open market was not particularly appealing to me. But, at the same time, I obviously wanted to get a fair price for it. To my absolute delight, Robbie found a buyer that came in at the appraised value even though this was significantly more than the Zillow estimate. At the end of the day, I could not have possibly hoped for a better experience with a realtor, and I recommend with my upmost confidence that there is not a better westside realtor than Robbie Sikora. read more

Robbie is a terrific agent who goes above and beyond for his clients. We met Robbie in 2016 when he helped us purchase our first condo, and we called him to help sell it when we were looking to move into a house in 2022. He's extremely friendly, candid, caring and user-friendly. He's super knowledgeable about the market and has excellent contacts and people skills. We've found him to be incredibly trustworthy, available, responsive, accessible and resourceful. He helped us with a strategy that resulted in us selling our condo for more than we expected. And despite issues we faced that were out of our control during the escrow process, Robbie did whatever he could to help navigate us to a close. He's the BEST person to have in your corner, whether you are buying or selling. read more

Robbie just helped us buy our dream home in Santa Monica. He was everything we could have hoped for in a realtor and more--incredibly knowledgeable, endlessly helpful and available for our many questions, a smart, savvy negotiator, and a kind person who operated with integrity every step of the way. It was so reassuring as we made the biggest purchase of our lives to feel like we were in the best possible hands. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

Robbie is truly a one-of-a-kind real estate agent. We are so incredibly grateful that he helped us find our dream home in Los Angeles! This was actually our second time purchasing a home with Robbie (he was our agent with a condo we purchased in LA in 2016) and it's also the second time that we purchased a home after just one offer. Robbie truly exceeded our expectations; he helped us navigate a challenging market with low inventory yet we never felt pressured. We had our sights set on this home and it was the first offer we made in an incredibly hot market (Spring 2022)- we were against multiple offers, but because he forged a strong relationship with the selling agent, it certainly helped our chances. We are both very busy professionals and we were worried about the amount of time that it would take to purchase a home and all of the details, but Robbie was incredibly resourceful- he helped us find an incredible lender (after providing multiple options) who was very responsive, quick, and had the lowest interest rates out there. He also helped us find reputable inspectors and scheduled everything for us so that we didn't have to worry about anything and so that we could have several inspections done within 10 days to be even more competitive in the market. We seamlessly closed on our home and could not imagine a process that could have gone more smoothly. Robbie is very organized; we always knew what the next steps would be and he is always available via phone, text, email, etc- we felt supported throughout the process in both our purchases and selling our condo as well. While Robbie's intelligence, skill, resourcefulness and organization were important to us and helped us attain our home, it's his incredibly caring and friendly character that mean the most to us. It always feels good to be on a call with Robbie- he makes you feel and know that you are supported and in good hands. He genuinely cared about my husband and me, proactively checking in on us and ensuring that we felt cared for. I highly recommend that you work with Robbie to purchase or sell your home- you will be so happy with the decision! read more

We have known Robbie for about 3 years now. We met him when we were buying our current home, and he was representing the seller at the time. We were really impressed by his kindness, compassion, professionalism, knowledge and really just felt that he was a genuinely wonderful person. Fast forward and we didn't have to think twice when we started looking for more properties - we went with Robbie! This is our first time working with him as buyers, and I can say that he made the process so easy for us. He was constantly communicating and updating us, answered every question we had, was incredibly diligent in making sure all parties were on track and on the same page. He gives honest advice/feedback and can always be relied upon. I cannot recommend Robbie enough - he is simply a class act! read more

As a resident of Santa Monica himself, his expertise in the area was extremely valuable -- we strongly recommend working with Robbie for your next real estate venture! read more
