Working in sales myself, I thought I understood negotiation and relationship management well until I went through the home-buying process with Scott Price. From day one, Scott stood out because he didn't just try to sell me a house; he genuinely took the time to educate me on every step of the process. He made sure I understood what to expect, what pitfalls to avoid, and how to evaluate properties with a critical eye. His honesty and transparency were incredibly refreshing, especially in such a competitive market. Scott was never afraid to point out issues in homes that other agents might have glossed over just to close a deal. That level of integrity built a tremendous amount of trust and gave me confidence that he truly had my best interests in mind. Thanks to Scott's expertise, strategy, and network of valuable resources, I ended up finding an incredible single-family home in Culver City that checked every box. What impressed me most was his negotiation skills because he was able to secure a major price reduction and got my offer accepted literally just before another higher offer came in. Without his timing, persistence, and tactical approach, I genuinely believe I would have lost the house. On top of that, post sale Scott has stayed highly involved to make sure everything goes smoothly with my transition into home ownership. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, even for someone experienced in sales, but Scott clarified the entire process and made it feel manageable from start to finish. He's knowledgeable, connected, honest, strategic, and absolutely relentless when it comes to advocating for his clients. If you're looking for a real estate agent who will educate you, protect you, and fight to get you the best possible outcome, Scott Price is the person you want in your corner. read more

I recently bought a townhouse in Santa Monica and had a fantastic experience working with Scott Price. From the beginning, he did an excellent job clarifying the entire home-buying process and breaking things down in a way that made everything feel simple and manageable. His guidance made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. Scott also helped me secure a great deal on the property and was a strong advocate throughout negotiations. He even negotiated a sizable credit back for repairs, which was incredibly helpful. On top of that, he connected me with reliable contractors to handle a few fixes after closing. Overall, Scott was knowledgeable, proactive, and easy to work with. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely helps simplify the process and looks out for your best interests! read more

Working with Scott Price was a first experience for me. Scott worked closely with us to understand our needs and helped us understand the type of buyers who would be drawn to our property. His strategy to help us achieve our goals were created with intention in a thoughtful manner that honored our home and neighborhood. Furthermore, the preparation work to get the house ready to market was tailored to our home's unique appeal. Scott had a good understanding of how to position our property in today's market. He mapped out a sensible, well-structured plan and executed it smoothly, resulting in seven offers and a final sale price that exceeded our expectations by over 25% above asking. We closed escrow in just over two weeks which left an impressive mark on not just us, but neighbors in our neighborhood. Throughout the process, Scott's communication was impeccable. He was on top of every single detail, no matter how minor, and kept us informed and confident from start to finish. Questions were answered before we even had to ask. His responsiveness and precision was greatly appreciated and definitely meets the expectations any seller would have. The process from beginning to end was paired with genuine professionalism and care. If you're considering listing your home in Los Angeles and want a Realtor who will exceed your expectations in every way, we recommend Scott Price, who is truly in a league of his own. read more

This is my second time selling with Scott (you can find my previous review here) and again it was a great experience. Scott helped me sell a West LA condo in 2020; the process was seamless and it got sold above asking price. This year, when I planned to sell a house in the area, I did not hesitate to reach out to Scott again. He is highly knowledgeable, detail oriented, transparent, truthful, and responsive. He was not only my real estate agent, but also a project manager who happily walked me through every step of the way. He tailored the selling strategy to each property and exceeded my expectations. He is skilled in attracting quality and serious buyers in order to get the top value of your property. The 2025 real estate market is in a state of uncertainty and there are houses in the neighborhood that are just sitting in the market, yet Scott was able get me multiple competing offers in just days of listing, and sold it within a 14-day escrow at more than $500,000 above asking price! If you are searching for a real estate agent to sell your property, reach out to Scott and just talk to him. He won't pressure you but he will give you great advice to consider before moving forward with your process. read more

Scott Price guided my husband and me through a home purchase that took several years to come to fruition -- because we were THAT picky. We encountered multiple setbacks and challenges, but Scott was patient and helpful every step of the way! He never pressured us to buy a home that wasn't quite right for us. Instead, he always pointed out any potential issues or details we may have missed during the open house. It felt like we were touring houses with a trusted friend, rather than a real estate agent. That said, we wholly trusted Scott's real estate advice and professionalism, as he thought about potential properties with multiple considerations in mind: how to choose the right home for our family; how to negotiate strategically; potential rental income; and future resale value. I have worked with and interacted with other real estate professionals, and found that Scott is the most knowledgeable about the local housing market (LA is competitive and nuanced). And by far, Scott is the most hardworking and hustles on his clients' behalf! We were in constant communication, and I truly felt like we were a team working together to get through the many steps of house hunting and escrow. Even though we have already closed on this property, Scott continues to check in with us to make sure that we are satisfied with the purchase and the service that his trusted contractors and business contacts are providing. He and his team have provided stellar client service, all around! My husband and I have already recommended Scott to others who are starting their home search, as we know Scott will be a valuable partner to them! In the future, when we are ready for another purchase or sale, we will surely reach out to Scott again. read more

Scott Price is a consummate professional. Choosing the right person to help my family sell our home was a decision I approached with care and caution, interviewing several agents before I decided on Scott. From our first conversation, it was clear he was the right person for the job. He showed exceptional attention to detail as he meticulously outlined each aspect of the home sale process. He also showed himself to be a thoughtful, caring individual who takes the time to get to know you and understand your needs. Scott certainly came through. I'm grateful for the outstanding job he did during our home sale--a challenging process that took nearly a year and a half due to a prior issue. His unwavering dedication and expertise guided us every step of the way. I could count on him to communicate with us clearly and thoroughly and to equip us with the information we needed to make the best decisions possible at every turn. He coordinated staging, arranged for powers of attorney to be signed, and managed countless other tasks with precision and care. His ability to handle these complexities with ease simplified what could otherwise have been an overwhelming process. Thanks to his efforts, we secured a full-price offer on our home, a testament to his market expertise and strategic approach. I'm so thankful to Scott--for his patience, professionalism, guidance, and support throughout this process. I can't recommend him highly enough to anyone who's in need of a skilled, dedicated real estate professional. read more

Believe the hype! I'm not at all surprised to see a perfect 5 star rating with 250 reviews for scott. He is an immaculate professional who is clearly on your side and in your corner every step of the way. I've dragged poor Scott through a home search over 4 years now, including countless lost bids and cancelled escrows. Never once has he tried to pressure us into buying a property he didn't believe in. He will always be real and honest with you - pointing out issues with a property, and guiding you ever step of the way. His philosophy is to build lasting life long relationships with all his clients. Coming from LA, his network of recommendations is invaluable and endless. He's got a guy for everything. I could not give a higher recommendation. Hire this man. He's more than worth his weight in gold. read more

Amazing work and great job replacing lighting in the kitchen everything the next day that put service requested thanks.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Scott Price by our side as we navigated the real estate landscape in Marina del Rey. Scott's care, thoughtfulness, and unwavering patience made all the difference in our home-buying experience, especially since our home had burned down in the Palisades fire and we were desperate to find a new home fast. From the outset, Scott was attentive to our needs and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for in a property. There was never any rush or pressure from Scott, but he also worked while he was on vacation with his family to find us a place because he knew we were anxious to find something quickly. We were grateful Scott was able to negotiate a large credit back from the Seller to take care of several issues that came up on the inspection reports. One of the highlights of working with Scott was his ability to connect us with fantastic contractors who helped us with necessary repairs and remodeling. His network of professionals helped transform our new home into the space we envisioned. Scott's dedication to ensuring our satisfaction went above and beyond our expectations. His thoughtful approach and genuine concern for our happiness made the experience meaningful for us. If you're looking for an agent who combines expertise with heart, and is a terrific tennis player, Scott Price is the agent for you ;) read more

Scott is one of the best and trusted real estate agents I've ever worked with. Not only does he advise you on the property pros and cons, but he also gives you the time and space to make your own independent decision without pushing you. Scott is someone you can rely on during the closing process because he's always quick to respond to messages and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks. Scott also continues to provide advice after closing the house. One of the best pieces of advice was to get my roof done sooner rather than later. This was very helpful because I did the roof right before the recent heavy rain storms. I've worked with Scott for the past 5 years, and I strongly recommend him as an agent, given his professionalism, trusted advice, and outstanding customer service. read more

In the past 10 years I have known Scott, he has demonstrated his love and passion for representing Buyers and Sellers.

I've known Scott Price for around 8 years, and he's been a huge help to me when it comes to anything I've needed in real estate. He's thoughtful and strategic about how to put deals together, and he always inquires to learn more about my situation before he provides advice. I ask lots of questions, and Scott is consistently helpful and patient with his answers. My family bought and sold a property recently. Scott was insightful and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend connecting and working with Scott Price if you are planning on buying or selling property in Los Angeles. read more

I first met Scott in 2015 when he helped with the purchase of my home. I was working with another agent under his group at the time, and he stepped in to assist once I entered escrow. They both were of great help throughout the year, as the first home ended up falling out of escrow but I ultimately was able to purchase my current home under their guidance. I felt appreciative as well to Scott since we kept in touch since then and he was helpful with other real estate issues I have discussed with him. In the past, I couldn't imagine leaving nothing but a stellar review for him. In fact, I had a 5-star review posted here previously for the other agent and him. This all changed when it came to my attention that he had not been truthful with me in the past. While I did receive an apology, I felt that the trust built over the years was taken advantage of. As a CPA, I understand that clients value not only the knowledge and expertise that a service provider can offer, but also trust and integrity. It is for that reason that I would be reluctant to recommend Scott Price as a real estate agent in the future. read more

I posted here a decade ago when Scott helped us buy our PDR home. We were looking to make some upgrades to our home and didn't know where to start. I have kept in touch with Scott, requesting a plumber reference here, a window cleaning service there... and he always made a solid recommendation. So when it came time to get some upgrades we figured we would start back with Scott. Same service as I came to expect from our previous interactions. He was engaged, responsive and followed up to make sure my needs were met. He didn't make any money from these referrals but this is what a good business does and how they operate. I love when I meet someone who just LOVES what they do and this is what I feel I have found in Scott and his partners at compass. We will sell our home eventually and nobody else will get our listing. read more

My wife and I were first time home buyers that were initially intimidated by the whole process. We decided to meet with Scott based on all of the heartfelt reviews, and now we have the pleasure of sharing our own experience. Scott was very professional from day 1. He met with us, gave us an introduction to the home buying process, explained the role he had with us, gave his insights on the current market, and helped us develop realistic expectations. His responsiveness and honesty really stand out. Whenever we had the slightest interest in seeing a home even if it was simply for learning purposes, he would respond with inside information and help us schedule open house appointments where applicable. On the occasions he was able to join us, he would give us his detailed analysis regardless if it was positive or negative, and it broadened our knowledge significantly in the home viewing experience. There are so many details we simply cannot un-see any more! It was very apparent he wanted to make sure we made the right buy and not just a quick one. We chose to be dedicated to Scott as our agent through the whole process despite the other agents that tried to represent us. He does expect exclusivity if working with his team, and we have absolutely no regrets! We actually had the unicorn experience of winning with our first offer in this dramatic sellers' market. It truly could not have been done without Scott. During escrow, he anticipated every limiting step and would advise accordingly. He has a multitude of resources that helped us get through escrow and even his reputation gave the seller's agents confidence that it would be a smooth process. When working with us, Scott really treated us as friends and not just clients. In fact, Scott continues to be a resource for us as we quickly learned that home ownership comes with a flood of new information (and scammers!). We expect to have him at our family gatherings and hope to work with him again in the future. read more

We purchased our second home with Mark Mendez, and just like the first time around, he went above and beyond as a realtor to make sure we were able to obtain an amazing deal even in today's difficult market. Seriously, search for Mark Mendez in the reviews and they'll all say the same amazing things, for a very good reason. Mark will put you in the driver's seat while supporting you 150%, and at the same time will offer his advice and wisdom to make sure you are doing what is best for you. He is not afraid to push a little to make sure you get what you what, all while retaining an unparalleled level of professionalism and courtesy to everyone involved in the transaction. His easy-going personality and level-headedness kept us grounded during stressful times, and he is always responsive and quick to address any issues that arise, and works hard behind the scenes to make sure the process goes smoothly. I'd work with Mark for every future real estate transaction! read more

When we were looking for our first home more than 5 years ago, we saw a home listed by Price + Hou. After seeing countless homes during our search, we really enjoyed how professional and seamless the viewing experience was from a buyer's standpoint. Fast forward 5+ years, when we were looking to sell our home, Janice was one of our first calls to see if she was interested in working together. I appreciated Janice's transparency and realistic view on the current market. I loved that we were on the same page from the start and she made what likely is a stressful process as stress free as possible. We had some international travel coming up and we were able to work through our commitments to ensure there were no delays in the selling process. Janice and her team are extremely efficient and easy to work with. From the date we had our open house to close of escrow, Janice got it done in exactly one month. She was able to find the buyers and strategically "read the room," to get us the highest reasonable bid on our home. I would recommend Janice to anyone looking to sell in a heartbeat. Cannot thank her enough for making it so easy. read more

When we decided to sell our Culver City townhouse, we did our research on different agencies. In fact, we interviewed multiple agencies ranging from Redfin, boutique agencies, to big-name companies--and Scott blew away the competition. We were impressed by his professionalism, preparedness, and the fact that he promised us clear communication and brutal honesty. Also, unlike any of the other agents, he was genuinely interested in what our priorities were aside from just the selling price, which indicated to us that he understood selling a home isn't just another business transaction. We called him back the same day to ask him to represent us. Aaaand it turns out that we never even had to go on the market! Janice represented a couple who made us a solid and fair offer, saving us from having to stage, clean, hold open houses, etc. Throughout the escrow process, Scott and Janice were on. top. of. it. Scott and Janice replied to our e-mails and texts at lightning speed. We received updates in real-time as they received them, meaning we were getting e-mails and texts at all hours of the day, any day of the week, which we really appreciated. Scott made sure we were all on the same page at all times and checked in with us even when there were no updates. Scott and Janice also did a great job of keeping the representation as separate as possible, meaning Scott actively advocated for us and Janice for the buyers. Another way that Scott went well above and beyond: we discovered, after opening escrow, that we needed to get extensive work done on the townhouse. Scott didn't miss a beat. Without us even having to ask, he reached out to multiple companies, set up appointments for estimates, and met with each vendor so that we did not have to take time from work to be there. All we had to do was pick the provider, and he handled the rest. Even when the company tried to give us some difficulties he went to bat for us in a way that I firmly believe no other agent would have. What could have been a nightmare escrow process went shockingly smoothly...all thanks to the hard work of Scott and Janice. All this is to say, we are so grateful for Scott and Janice. They are truly dedicated to their clients and it's clear from their other stellar reviews that they excel at what they do. Thank you again!! read more

Janice was absolutely phenomenal & instrumental in the selling of my home, not only in the preparation and maximizing of its marketability, but also in securing a beyond expected sale price and making the entire transition smooth and easy. Her expertise and insight into how to go about the prepping and selling process was so instrumental and really put me at ease the entire way. Her knowledge and familiarity with different options and scenarios really put us at an advantage and I couldn't have been happier throughout the whole process. It was seamless and stress-free! Who knew the selling process could actually be enjoyable?! Her entire team was so friendly, astute, and attentive. You really get the whole package when you sell with Janice & her company. I'm so glad a friend recommended her to me because she is really quite exceptional at what she does. If you're looking for someone to sell (or buy) with, this is it! read more

There's a reason these two have the Yelp reviews they do, and I'm happy to contribute. I was a first-time buyer, and my friends recommended the agents who sold them their first home as well. I'm so grateful for the recommendation...I can't imagine a better experience than the one I had with Scott and Janice. They just made all the right moves at every step of the way. They're not only consummate professionals and experts at their craft, but what so unique about them is that they're also real human beings. They filled me with industry knowledge, gave me sage advice at all turns, and put zero pressure on me throughout-always making sure I was looking at things from all angles and helping me reconcile hopes, doubts and fears. When we finally entered escrow, they were total pros. They kept me out in front of everything, went to bat for me when they needed to, and managed the relationship with the selling agent and sellers perfectly. These two are the best. read more

Loved working with Mark Mendez, who was assigned to me immediately after I inquired. And he was always highly responsive (very quick response, even though he's busy!) and was very open and honest about some of the homes we were looking at, even though they were pricey. I so appreciate that. He always gave sage advice and I always felt that I could trust him! Highly rec... read more

Scott and Janice worked with us to sell our home in Leimert Park. First off, my wife and I are not easy customers. We're demanding, high-strung, and require a lot of communication. With that in mind, we were also looking to sell our house in the middle of a pandemic. We interviewed several real estate agents and we chose Scott and Janice because they were the most professional, prompt, and courteous group we interviewed. They did not disappoint. They sold our house for more than we expected, and they took care of our house like it was their own, while we were across the country in Nashville. There were some challenges on the buyer's side and they helped us navigate those with a great strategy and timely advice. I don't know that another agent group would have had the patience and commitment to nail it as Scott and Janice did. If you're shopping around for realtors, you should be aware that so many agents sell you the moon and the stars. Very few deliver. Scott and Janice did. read more

We found Price and Hou online when we were looking to relocate from San Francisco down to LA. We weren't sure exactly where or what we were looking for, but knew we wanted something on the westside. After a couple false starts with other realtors we knew we were in good hands with Scott. Immediately he started breaking down the different neighborhoods customized to our wants and needs. He didn't sugar-coat anything and was always able to point out the good and bad of a house that we didn't have the experience to see. He was a very straight shooter and I appreciated that. We never felt rushed to get into a house. Scott brought the same passion from the first house we saw to the one we eventually found. He even Facetimed us into a house or two when we couldn't make the trip down from SF to see them in person. We highly recommend Price and Hou on here as well as to our friends and family. read more

I think first time homebuyers often walk into the process wondering if realtors are "worth" the fee the seller pays. I don't know if all realtors are. But Mark is. Mark was informative, tenacious, patient, and above all: effective. We look forward to working with him again on future real estate transactions. We started seriously looking for houses in February 2021. Christina was pregnant with baby #2 (due date rapidly approaching) and Los Angeles was experiencing a brutal, unprecedented sellers market. So of course we thought: "Hey, this is a great time to buy a house!" We wanted a realtor who knew the market and could give us maybe just a hint or two while we (of course) figure it all out on our own. 'We're smart people,' we thought, obliviously. 'I'm sure we can pretty much figure this out on our own, right? How bad could escrow be?' It's bad. It's a good thing we found Mark. Mark perfectly fit what we needed, even though we didn't know we needed it. He gave us a foundational understanding of what was going to happen, what the risks were, what to consider, and how to approach this historically nuts LA market. Mostly he listened. Sometimes he prompted us with questions or with his thoughts, which invariably, frustratingly, turned out to be exactly correct down the line. I think the worst feeling you could have during homebuying would be "I'm not in control, and this thing is accelerating". Feeling like you're at the mercy of a totally opaque market, or lenders looking out for themselves, or the whims of a seller, or termite breeding seasons, and you need to act now or lose everything forever. Mark gave us the guidance and focused attention to detail we needed to feel fully stable and in control of the process. There was never, ever a point where we felt ignored or like things were happening without us knowing. Do you like wondering if someone read an email? Or being uncertain who should be doing what right now? Or feeling like "I really want to ask a question, but is 9pm too late"? Then don't go with Mark. He was exceptionally available and communicative at all times. Almost frustratingly so: where does this guy get off doing strategy phone calls with us night after night, or negotiating seller credits at 7am on a Saturday? He's making the rest of us look bad. One anecdote: when we were grappling with how far geographically to look, and whether a long commute time with young kids would be too difficult, he asked his wife (also a mother with a long commute) to hop on and give us her thoughts. I'd like to think this level of attention is special for us because we're just super cool and lovable people, but I suspect it's actually, you know, garden variety extreme professionalism and customer focus. Maybe. Ultimately, our homebuying experience was this: we saw one house and loved it, we put one offer in, we accepted one counter and then successfully closed. Mark assures us this is more an exception than the norm in the current market, but I choose to believe it's some kind of dark realtor magic on his part. Escrow was in many ways challenging but we always felt that Mark was laying out a safe path for us--not forcing us down it. He kept us informed and in the drivers seat, while buffering us from having to dealing with a lot of the underlying complexity and frustration of the process. read more

I am very happy to have sold 2 homes (and bought one of them) with Scott Price in 13 years. In every interaction, communication, every step of the process, Scott has been thorough, compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, and has tirelessly helmed the transaction to a favorable result. Scott always works for your best interests, he will shine the best possible light on your home in the minds of the prospective buyers. We received several compliments from other agents that Scott "really knows how to show a home" and he does. Scott and his team are knowledgeable, have a deep grasp of the current data in any neighborhood you need, or any home type - condo/townhouse or house. And perhaps more importantly, since not every decision in real estate is a walk in the park, Scott will keep you abreast of any potential hiccups and provide insightful, well-reasoned advice based on years of experience. Scott and his team care, and it shows, and have earned our family's trust and will always have our business whenever our family needs to move into a new home. read more

It has been a distinct pleasure to work with Scott Price. simply put, Scott is the best. If you are lucky enough to work with him, consider yourself in good hands! I have bought and sold quite a few properties over the years and in a world (like the real estate world) where ethics seem to be a low priority, Scott has an abundance! Scott is also patient, helpful, knowledgeable, and personable. And he is not afraid of hard work. He drove back and forth to my property picking up mail, getting extra keys made and connecting me with cleaning crews, handy men and stagers. He does whatever it takes to get the job done. He is also very responsive, if you have questions or need his assistance, he gets to you immediately, you don't have to ask twice. He was also easy and fun to work with, I was very grateful to have him on my side during this sales process. read more

My review is extremely long overdue. Scott and Janice have helped us with 3 different real estate transactions. Each of them were extremely challenging and I am a very anxious client. They are the epitome of professionalism. Always calm, cool and collected. They have gone above and beyond, holding my hand during each home sale and purchase. I would have given up on becoming a home owner a long time ago if it weren't for them. There are no words to describe how grateful I am for Scott and Janice. I now consider them personal friends and recommend them to everyone. read more

Scott and Janice's team deserves more than 5 stars. They've delivered fantastic results for our family over the past 5 years. We found Scott online when we were planning to sell our condo in 2015. So far Price + Hou has served as our agent to sell 3 properties and buy 2 properties. They have never disappointed us and have earned our complete trust. We just sold our property right in the middle of Covid-19. It's been extremely challenging to close the sale during the lockdown period. But Scott pulled it off. Scott and his team went above and beyond to help us plan the sale, set expectations, and clean and stage the house. Through effective marketing and open house, we received 7 offers including 3 all cash offers and several of them were way above the asking price. We will absolutely continue to work with Scott and Janice for our future property transactions. read more

I had a great experience working with Scott to make my first home purchase a smooth and easy process. I first met Scott at a local coffee shop, and right away, he stood out from other realtors I interviewed because he came across as genuine and authentic. I'm extremely detail-oriented, and I expressed to Scott that I would have a lot of questions over the course of the process. Scott was always willing to answer any question I had - no matter how small or insignificant it sometimes seemed. Scott was always patient with us, and he checked in at numerous points throughout the process to ensure that we were happy and comfortable with whatever was going on. We never felt any pressure from him to complete a purchase. I'm very grateful for having found Scott, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home! read more

Mark Mendez is a master of his craft and an all around great person. He helped my family purchase a great place in the Westside the middle of a really tight sellers market. We got the place due to Mark's skill and knowledge, not by simply having the biggest budget. He knows his stuff, but is also in tune with understanding emotions as you go through the process. He is eager to educate and support his clients during what is typically a stressful time. There were some very big bumps in the road during my purchase, and Mark went so far beyond his role to help out and be involved. Any other agent would have washed their hands and said "that isn't my issue." There are so many things to consider when buying or selling a home, and I will always have Mark in my corner. You will not be disappointed to have him in yours as well. read more

Scott was absolutely perfect! Professional, friendly and super helpful during the entire process. People like Scott make Santa Monica a great place to live and own a home. Scott is super quick to respond, very organized, knowledgeable and patient with all questions. Most importantly, Scott gets it done! We have no doubt that we will work with Scott again for our real estate needs. Thanks again Scott for all you help with our home in Santa Monica! read more

We couldn't have been more lucky to have worked with Scott and Janice on the sale of our home. They were always available, thoughtful, and proactive in protecting our interests and making the most of our project. Everything came off without a single hitch thanks to their attention to detail. We will always come back to Price + Hou. read more

I highly recommend this team. I worked closely with Mark and he delivered on the following: -I loved the efficient communication through compass. It definitely set me up for success as I was able to organize all my searches and communicate with mark via notes and comments. Getting quick feedbacks from Mark on each place also added a lot of value during the search phase. -I loved the fact that I didn't feel rushed. From the onset mark wasn't operating like a sleezy sales man trying to rush me to buy the first house we saw. So I appreciated that. -I had a good experience with the lender Mark recommended (all western mortgage). They were quick in meeting my needs and I liked the online platform they used to organize all my documents and tasks. -once the process moved to escrow, mark definitely utilized his time and experience to book my appointments for the inspections, got me a $1500 credit, made sure I received the most up-to-date document on my parking space from the HOA to prevent any misunderstandings down the line, saved me a couple hundred dollars by wisely choosing my fund date to be on a Monday rather than a Friday...all small details that add up and can go a long way. -Mark was patient in educating me on the process along the way. He was willing to work around my schedule for most appointments and jived well with my sense of humor. -Mark had created a google drive folder with all the documents which helped me stay organized! In general mark is detail oriented and systematic so it made it easy to stay on top of the million steps. There were a lot of other subtle things I've left out to not make this review a book but again try this team out if you're looking to get agents that will watch out for your interests. Good luck! read more

We love Scott & Janice. Though technically Scott has been our agent for a home purchase 4 years ago and its subsequent sale last month, Janice is a great partner in which they tag-team efficiently. Scott understands the market and makes his strategic recommendations based on expertise, but also listened to us and still took our lead. Great communication overall, and he has great rapport with the other agents. We took advantage of the Compass Concierge service which was helpful in paying for quick renovation costs. Would use again and highly recommend. read more

I can't recommend Scott Price highly enough, and here is why: After living in a condo in Downtown Los Angeles since 2008, I decided it was time for a bit of normalcy and quiet for my personal sanity during COVID 2020, and a plot of land I could call my own (and dig my toes in some green grass in a yard). I decided to move to somewhere in the middle of the city (Miracle Mile, Hancock Park, West Adams, etc.). I had always wanted a yard, a BBQ island, and potentially a jacuzzi of my own. I think it was when the Lakers won in 2020 (I was there in the crowds in '09 and '10, and it wasn't so rowdy), and then when the Dodgers won (by the Grace of Gibson) that I knew I had to GTFO DTLA. I have to admit, it was rough to start when I started to look for homes in July. The market in Mid City Los Angeles is competitive to be polite and downright vicious at the minimum. Homes in Q4 of 2020 amid the pandemic were being listed and sold within 2-3 days in the hot markets of West Adams, Bevererlywod, La Cienega Heights, Picfair Village, Faircraft heights, Carthay Square, Miracle Mile, Mid-Wilshire, Dockweiler, Wilshire Park, and Hancock Park. I burned through six different agents from July through October. I'm picky: I'm no stranger to high-stakes negotiations and pretty financially disciplined. I don't like wasting money, but I will pay top dollar for quality. Every single one of those agents disappointed me in some way. They broadcasted directly or indirectly that their interests were not 100% aligned with mine: a consideration of short-term commissions over long-term relationships. Some were just pushy. Some were lazy and didn't want me to look at more than a few homes. Your real estate agent SHOULD be like your hair-stylist, private banker, club promoter, or wealth manager. A good working relationship is a must and will pay long term dividends. My equally excellent loan officer Dean Vu at Chase warned me from the start: "Don't go with your sister in law, your mom, your cousin, your friend from college, get a real F*&*iing professional and pay the usual amount." Many of them weren't great communicators, decent at sales, but incredibly bad on the tactics of buying a house and how to assess intangibles that were a win-win situation for the agent and me. A lot of them tried to push me to buy the first home I saw. Don't skimp or think the RedFin discount will help-- it won't. Don't try to split the commission 50/50 with your sister, mom, brother, or in-laws say it's an easy way to save. It won't be, especially for an ultra-competitive market. You will lose long-term because unless those people have sold for years, they will not know how to assess correctly, and that will hurt you with maintenance and other surprise costs in the future. After I turned to Yelp, and I called 3 of the top agents in the area. Scott Price stood out because someone else I respected very much as a former colleague had given glowing reviews. He did not disappoint. He's an amazing communicator and is the opposite of lazy. He is a real estate expert and a total geek about home construction. He can talk your ear off with details about roofs or foundations. I now can eyeball whether a neighborhood or home will likely have residents who will make the homes' value go up or down. I can tell this from the sidewalk to the little detail about chimneys, the windows, the lawn, cars, parking situation, the business surrounding it, trees, and the windows' conditions. I can now mentally estimate the cost of structural repairs, future maintenance costs, and whether some renovation is possible. I've learned to ask the right questions, and my eye for real estate assessment has grown without the price of a costly mistake. I also know how to tell real original vintage Spanish tiles on a roof and how they were made (ask him). We looked at over 7 homes in person, and he taught me how to even skip this step. I almost purchased a home over 200k over what I wanted to buy. Still, he made sure I drove around the block, and we found an auto-body shop less than 100 feet away from the backyard and the master bedroom. Scott is the ultimate teacher and guru. He is an everlasting professional who owns multiple properties of his own. He can tell you with a glance whether something is up to code and ball-park how much it will cost to maintain. Don't skimp on your first house purchase. It is a significant investment. If you value your time and want to increase your own capabilities, you can do no better than Scott Price. Real estate is a long term commitment, and Scott is a long-term thinker and a person you want on your side. Don't skimp on one of the more critical decisions in your life and go with Scott Price. read more

Scott was amazing - staying on top of every step of the sale of our house. From renovations to final closing, he was an awesome guide and advocate. If you're looking for a realtor who knows the west side and can help you navigate the complexities of a home sale with experience and patience, look no further! read more

I previously wrote a review after working with Mark Mendez to buy a new home. We were so happy with our experience with Mark and his team that we of course went back to Homes by Price + Hou when we were ready to sell our West LA condo. Scott Price advised us at every step along the way, including on how to prepare the condo before listing, the best price point to drum up the most interest, and how to handle negotiations with potential purchasers. We always felt that we were in great hands. Within a week of listing, we had received 14 offers and went into escrow significantly over our list price (and at a price that beat our own personal expectations). Escrow went smoothly, of course -- Scott and his team were consummate professionals the whole way through. It feels like we somehow "won" the crazy LA real estate market BOTH as buyers and sellers with Homes by Price + Hou. We are so lucky to have found these guys! read more
