Initially Kathren was delightful, professional and responsive. My father hired Kathren for the sale…read moreof my parents home in Downey. It took my father years to feel comfortable with someone. She called my father quite a few times until he finally agreed to sell their home. We agreed that I would be the primary point of contact. She agreed and promised to personally assist in the purchase of a new home. He told her so many times he wanted her to be in charge of the purchase. This was my parents 4th and 5th RE transaction but being much older (70&75) they were mostly concerned that their contingent sale be timely and smooth. Kathren outlined a timeline for us. Everything seemed fine. The home was photographed,listed and sold rather quickly after all its a sellers market. The home was turnkey and in the desirable North Downey area. My father reiterated to Kathren that the toughest part for HER would be to find a new home for them. She insisted "I'm the right person for the job." My parents physically signed the offer on their home then shortly thereafter, without warning, she invited another agent she said would "help her" search for homes. I was clear my parents were not happy about this but She said she would still be there and "heavily" involved and kept using the word "...absolutely, Rolando I will be able to find you a home. Well, unfortunately and needless to say that was the very last time I or my father ever saw her, or even heard from her by phone. She resorted to long text messages, flaked on viewing of the homes, I searched for homes on my own and even found the home my parents wanted. She sent maybe 2-3 emails (automated looking) with homes that did not match my parents requests. She did not call me or my parents. She said she thought it would be best for him to help my parents since she spoke limited Spanish. My parents have been in this country for over 50 years and my father, a retired businessman, can definitely speak fluent English and they had me alongside every step, every meeting. She ONCE went over their disclosures by video but only once. Everything else she left to me. The first time she said she had a calendar conflict and next thing you know she just abandoned my folks. She clearly didn't care about my parents. She did a bait and switch. Kathren clearly lacks work ethic, professionalism and common decency. Had my parents not been smack in the middle of their last ever real estate transaction I would have had them cancel. I took the extra work on because I wanted to protect my elderly parents from unnecessary stress. She had no idea that the contingent purchase did not take place on time. My parents items were in moving trucks for 5 days. They had no place to stay and again, this is something my parents asked her to keep a close tab on. They asked her to be sure this didn't happen. The buyers agent on their home handled her and at the end my parents got stuck with the fees involved. This had to do with lack of communication from her. At this point we didn't have a choice but to hold the moving trucks hostage. We had threatening calls from Uhaul. It was an expensive disaster. I got a brief text apology but not even a decent call. She charged my parents 4.5% of 700,000. It was poor value and very little work on her end. She left the tough part to me and in the end she never once set foot in their new home. I looked on her business Instagram page and she claims to have "heavily pursued another property.." far from an honest real estate agent. It took me a long time to get around to writing this review because I was so upset this happened to my parents but I just don't want this to happen to anyone else.

With our first home search being in a competitive market, my wife and I were expecting to give…read moremultiple offers and have a lot of rejections before we'd actually close on one. Mel helped us avoid that by giving us the right mindset on the market and a strategy on placing an appealing and strong offer that we were both comfortable with. We didn't have to search for months with the "let down" routine. The seller accepted our first offer with certain protections in place. While the price was right, they had a bit of remorse and were unwilling to help the transaction close as escrow challenges came up. Mel and her team of expertise kept the deal going by providing us with creative solutions. Even after the paperwork was signed and the keys handed over, Mel and The Local, followed up with a list of contacts to help us with our transition. We recommend Mel to all our friends that are in the house hunting market. She had our interest as a top priority, was very responsive with communication and never made us feel pressured to do anything. She even gave us the sweetest gift bag to celebrate. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mel and we will definitely have her guide us house on our sale and next home purchase.

If you are shopping for a realtor, literally stop searching! Melissa is your gal!…read more Melissa sort of fell into our lap, as our original realtor moved and then referred us to her. I honestly wouldn't have wanted it any other way as Melissa was a gift to us! She helped us sell our condo for WAY over asking price and was with us every step of the way in our search for a single family home. From the moment we initially met, I felt so much peace and confidence about our future endeavors with her. Not only was she so kind, but she really took the time to listen to our wants and needs, and then make them come true! She has many connections and helpful people in her radius, too. Her communication was above anything we've experienced (and we've dealt with other realtors). We never felt like we were just another customer. She was there for everything; from the painters touching up our condo, to the final walk through of the home we purchased. I could go ON and ON about why I'm thankful for Melissa, but I'd say, you should just experience her for yourself. LA is beyond lucky to have her in the market. It is possible to sell OR buy with Melissa by your side; even in this current crazy market!

Why a three well- if you are a seller she's great but if you're buying a house she's selling hmm -…read moreshe's tough and everyone knows it so that's great for people trying to get the most out of their sale - but is the quality that goes into the work of the house before the sale or the people who work for her quality- or are they all friends she's trying to give a job to ? Non industry professionals she's trying to turn professional with your money at hand. And if you are a seller she's gotta make that commission. So she will get you top dollar - Basically she's good- but car salesmen good and last I checked a house is a very important sale that doesn't come with a bumper to bumper warranty. Also she prides herself on being Altadenas biggest fan, but is selling every single lot she can- ( that could be the new slogan) everyone has to do what's best for them- but if I was crowned ms Altadena I would assume it felt a little uneasy like it does for ms thein and Do - I get they may trust her because she sold them the house and they want to go live with their grandkids and blah blah, but man did those vids she posted seem like she chomped at the bit to put out tragedy in her wallet. Additionally this team can hold a grudge with a buyer or seller if it doesn't go well for expect to call and get a person - you'll get a voicemail and not a return call. Ex agents that I have as my realtor that used to work for her have also tried to keep connections professional and at least alive and she doesn't return calls to even them. Last but not least - you will see how she is from this review when instead of ignoring it and letting people like George over there speak their peace she will have a retort to undermine and try to make her look superior all though at the end she will be sure to say passive aggressively "we wish you the best"Laughable. Sellers she's great! Buyers - how you treat people in business is how you show up in life- that's all I gotta say

I was doubtful given the highly competitive market and since this would have had to be done virtually. I was connected to Lamy and she put my mind and anxiety to ease right away.

Lamy has a strong work ethic- she was punctual for virtual tours and calls, she was responsive to our endless questions at all hours of the day, she was highly organized and followed through with every task. Lamy did not overpromise on anything she could not deliver. She was not pushy and made sure we were comfortable during the entire process. She was patient with us and explained the process and paperwork thoroughly. She also worked with us on how to strengthen our offers. I want to highlight that Lamy took the extra step to connect with the showing agents and asked what was important to the sellers. I believe this left an impression and ultimately helped us with purchasing our home! I highly recommend Lamy and her services. She is reliable, trustworthy, looks out for your best interest and most of all, she will deliver! She has a huge heart and cares about her clients.
