At the time I was getting ready to sell my house close by, so I wanted to see how the market was. The Open House experience was superb. I followed the house on Redfin and just a few days later the house became Under Contract, and then it was sold at a very good price. When it came to my time, I called Jerry up. He came fully prepared with everything. He provided me full market research, analysis, selling strategy, listing preparations, city compliance/clearance, and a full marketing plan. Everything was well-thought out. Right after the listing, Jerry hosted an Open House event. We received a number of very good offers. Jerry was excellent in the offer selection and the negotiation with buyers. Within just a month, the sale was successfully closed with a very good price. Jerry is sharp, driven, knowledgeable, and transparent. I'd highly recommend Jerry to anyone who needs expert help in Real Estate. He has everything that you need.

Eva and Angel made such a big difference in our home buying and selling experience. We had…read morepreviously worked with another agent, but we weren't making progress. The guidance and support we received from Eva and Angel felt like a totally different level of service. Angel helped us purchase our new condo. She thoughtfully walked us through the pros and cons of each property. When we found the one we loved, we were ready to bid aggressively. Angel actually advised us to offer less than we had planned, explaining that we could still secure it without overpaying. She was right! We got a great deal, and we absolutely love our new home. Eva then handled the sale of our previous condo. Timing was a major concern because we wanted to minimize how long we'd be paying two mortgages. Once we closed on our new place, Eva put our previous condo on the market and had it in escrow in less than two weeks over asking price. We were thrilled. Their support also went well beyond buying and selling. They helped us with moving logistics, making the entire transition so much easier. We didn't realize real estate agents could provide this level of service. We're so grateful we found Eva, Angel, and their team, and we wholeheartedly recommend them

Selling our home was a huge decision, and I took choosing the right real estate agent very seriously. I did a lot of research, interviewed multiple agents, and from the moment I met Eva, I knew she was the one I wanted representing us. Eva is truly exceptional. She is thoughtful, kind, incredibly professional, and an outstanding negotiator. She and her team guided us through every step of the process and made what could have been an incredibly stressful experience feel manageable. There were a few dicey moments during negotiations, and that is where Eva really shined. She knows exactly what to do when things get tough. She stayed calm, strategic, accessible, and always made us feel like she was completely in our corner. She went above and beyond for our family in ways I will never forget. What impressed me most is that Eva combines expertise and professionalism with genuine kindness. You never feel like you are just another transaction. She cares, she listens, and she works incredibly hard for her clients. I genuinely admire Eva, and I am so proud that we chose her to represent us. Looking back, I cannot imagine having gone through this process with anyone else. I would not even consider working with another agent. If you are looking for someone to sell your home, especially when the stakes are high and you need someone who can handle the tough moments, hire Eva. You will be very glad you did.

And I'm so glad we hit it off right away. Her expertise, taste and experience was crucial in helping us sell our home (closed in a month & over asking).

We trusted her the entire way, which meant we could rest easy during escrow. We have finally closed and are so excited about our new chapter.

She helped me navigate the ups and downs of the LA housing market as buyer for almost a year. This was a journey, not just a transaction, and she was there every step of the way. She always took the time to understand my evolving needs, she brought her expertise and professionalism together in all aspects of the process. Her approach is always genuine and sincere and she's just fun to work with. She has a designer's eye and a massive talent for helping someone visualize the potential in something, always with an endless supply of good ideas on strategizing, renovating, decorating, you name it. She makes the whole process of buying a home bite-sized and not so daunting. And she has tons of referrals for lenders, contractors and pretty much anything, many of whom I've used and are all equally amazing in their own right. But it all starts with her. She knows her stuff and does everything at the highest level.

She's easy to work with and highly collaborative. She has a great support system around her which enables her to accommodate our circumstances (contractors, staging, escrow, etc). She laid out the proposal from start to finish and it's really impressive how on point it was. Where she really shines is her attention to detail from an interior design perspective to ensure your home draws the maximum amount of attention and opportunities. Throughout she was hands-on with checking in on the property, inspections, and giving me the rundown of each open house session. If you're looking to optimize your home buying or selling experience, I would highly recommend Alex. She has competitive commissions and it's definitely money well spent.

From the very first meeting, Mike Chou demonstrated that he was a go-getter. He was the third real…read moreestate agency we interviewed, and he was immediately so different from the others. He said, "I can send someone over to get measurements. You pay that person directly. Measurements are something you'll need whether you work with me or not. There's no obligation to work with me." And the measurement person came over a couple of hours later. He said the same thing about the driveway: "The driveway needs to be resurfaced. It would be good to have at least one bid so you know the scope of the project. There's no obligation to work with me or the contractor." Then a contractor came over, took measurements, and gave us a bid. This was all within a few hours of meeting with Mike. This hustle was very impressive. From this stellar beginning to when the house sold, Mike as always pleasant to work with and available for calls, texts, emails, or online meetings. You can't go wrong with Mike Chou and The Chou Team.

But along with the definitions of those specific words, you also will see a reference to Kenya Reeves-Costa. Believe it or not, that is a shortened version of her name, as her full name is "Kenya Teresa Sarah Francine "Francy" Keller-Reeves-Costa" but that's too long to fit on a business card. And perhaps that reference in those definitions would hav been hand-written in, but no less accurate. Jokes aside, Kenya is a consummate professional with a crack team at her side: she's diligent, excellent at follow-up, a proactive advocate for her clients and a solid negotiator.

It has been a few months since we moved into our new home. I wanted to let the whirlwind of the home search and purchase process cool off a little bit before writing this review. I love our new home and our neighborhood and Kenya played critical role in helping us get here.. She took the time to show us enough properties to get a solid sense of what we were looking for and the things that were important to us. She also threw a couple of houses in the mix which helped us zero in on what we didn't want lol. Once we did find the house that we were very excited about, Kenya walked us through the process of making an offer, getting inspections, negotiating etc. Unfortunately the seller's agent proved not to be operating in good faith and we had to withdraw the offer. Kenya quickly pivoted and was able to use a connection she made earlier to get us access to another home in the neighborhood before it was even listed. In the end, the second home was a much better fit for us. It was a much better experience working with the second agent and sellers and the timing worked out well. This is my first time buying a home and Kenya and her team made a very stressful few months as pleasant as possible. I'm grateful to have had her on our team!

We had been to many open…read morehouses in the area due to our search for a home with a range of experiences from not greeting us or talking to us at all to being totally friendly and answering our questions, but not being able to answer because they weren't the actual listing agent and didn't know much about the property and everything in between. However, something was very obviously and immediately different about Laura that we hadn't seen. You can tell that she really loves what she does and is passionate about the process. I was impressed by her compassion towards us, her care and attention to the property and her sellers and even having an extra event and inviting the neighbors. Who does that? Anyone would be lucky to work with her and I would definitely recommend her.

Keller Williams has been involved in major class-action antitrust lawsuits regarding real estate…read morecommissions, agreeing to a massive nationwide commission settlement (including a $70 million agreement covering multiple claims) and a $20 million homebuyer antitrust settlement (Batton) alongside RE/MAX. They also faced smaller telemarketing and spam lawsuits under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) them up and see the amount of class action lawsuits. I had to interact with this team because they were selling the home I was purchasing. It was a straight forward CASH purchase of which I have made several in the last few years. On average I have paid around $2000 max in escrow closing fees. These agents demanded we use an escrow company ( I can only assume they get a back end payment on it since they fought so hard for it) that wanted to be paid over $4000 for a straight cash purchase. this is a typical part of how companies and agents like these make extra money on the backs of their customers. we had to spend a couple of days pushing back to get the cost in line. and although we finally did, my guess is that their actual client paid the $4000 without knowing they were paying way too much. When I needed basic information about the house I have always received, they initially refused, claiming I had not "ingratiated" myself enough to warrant that help. apparently ingratiating yourself is paying DOUBLE what it costs to close escrow. the greed is so typical, they most likely got paid by the owner over $50k, then gouged her for an additional $4000 in escrow. I sold a $2.5M house and my agent Arivva only charged $15K and $2000 for escrow. These people are part of keeping one of the best kept scam secrets in real estate, you don't have to pay a percentage of the selling cost, there are companies (that are the future) doing it for a flat fee, and secondly you don't have to pay insane escrow costs. all those people raving how great this team is, are omitting a key fact, they overpaid for them in thousands and thousands of dollars.
