She was always available, she was laser focused on our transaction, and with her recommendations, our house sold within a week with multiple offers for way above, asking in a middling market.

Mike Bary was unable to sell our home…read more Mike Bary was unable to rent our home. Mike Bary needed to involve a third party, Figure8 (who was lovely and did a fantastic job securing tenants and managing the property), to finally secure tenants. Mike Bary included a clause in the lease agreement that he would be owed 4% of the sale price if the tenants purchased the property, which they eventually did. We foolishly signed this contract giving 4% of the value of our home to Mike Bary for simply making an introduction to tenant. Our real estate attorney noted that he had never seen such a large commission for simply making an introduction to a buyer in his many years of practicing. We would never work with Mike Bary or The Agency in a real estate transaction in the future.

For the past 4 years they have all been PHENOMENAL. Before Blackstone, us tenants (in a 5 unit…read morebuilding) were terrorized and abused by our landlord. When she finally gave the reigns to Blackstone, everyone's life in the building changed. Everyone who works at Blackstone knows how to manage a property with professionalism, approachability, integrity and efficiency. If something needed to be repaired, either Anton would come out himself or a trusted vendor would be there the same day. The communication was always impeccable; Gaby and Yuri would always follow through and take care of all/any issues. And a big shout out to Dante, the property supervisor, he handles even the most complicated situations impeccably. Blackstone runs like a smoothly oiled machine and they truly are fair every step of the way doing the right thing on behalf of tenants and property owners. They know the laws and they really do work in accordance with them. What I admire about Blackstone is they know how to deal with particularly difficult property owners and tenants with ease and class to resolve any issues fairly for both parties. For any building owner out there scouting for a management company, look no further than Blackstone. And any tenant who is lucky enough to live in a building managed by Blackstone: count your lucky stars. These guys deserve the recognition they have because they're outstanding every step of the way and outshine any other property management company in LA. If I could give this review 10 stars, I would.

It's been many years since I've had to search for a new apartment, and I was a little nervous about…read morehow the whole apartment-hunting game had changed since my last time around. So I decided to look into using an apartment broker, to take some of the burden off myself and let a professional handle things instead... After looking at a few different firms online, I got good vibes from The Rental Girl (TRG), a boutique real estate agency here in Los Angeles, that also handles apartment searches. I liked the fact that the company is on the smaller side (around 20 or so employees, I believe), so that you really get their full attention. And for me personally, it was also a big plus to support a women-owned business. For apartment searches, they offer a couple of options: 1) You can sign up on their website to access listings on your own. or... 2) They also offer a concierge service, where they take inventory of your specific needs and wants and then do a customized search for you, which includes setting up walk-thrus, handling paperwork, and basically taking charge of all the less-fun aspects of looking for a new apartment. Their concierge service is made up of a team of people who each cover a different area of Los Angeles. For the area I was looking in, I was assigned a terrific, friendly dynamo named Itza Campos. She took great care of me every step of the way, serving as a sounding board (and even a therapist at times, lol) as we considered various apartments, before landing on just the right one. It was a true pleasure working with her and I really can't thank her enough for all the help she gave me! TRG concierge service isn't inexpensive -- it's equal to the price of one month's rent on your new apartment -- but I have to say that I consider it money VERY well-spent. Itza made the whole process fun and basically painless. I would recommend The Rental Girl without hesitation for anyone who wants help in finding the perfect place to live. Thanks again to the great team at TRG, especially Itza!

We do not live in the area, so she did everything to prep the condo - arrange the repairs, the termite, the cleaner, etc. All we did was - "approve" on the phone.

Will Tiao and his team stand apart from the competition in LA. They have had years of successes in…read morereal estate sales, management, and development in key parts of LA. It is because of their sterling reputation that my partner and I entrusted Will and his team with our purchase and sale of three different types of residential properties: condominium, single family residence, and multifamily property. From our experiences, here are top three reasons why we recommend Will and his team and would use him again for our next purchase or sale: 1. Will is a great advocate when it comes to negotiating offers and counteroffers and in dealing with other parties. His stunning background in international trade policy and Hollywood comes into play here at the client's advantage. Will helped us strategize and obtain good outcomes on all of our sales and purchases. 2. Will is a great advisor. His strong local knowledge about the neighborhoods and local regulations is founded on his brokering, property management, and development experience in LA. From neighborhood safety, zoning, entitlements, easements, to landlord-tenant matters, we knew we could count on Will and his team to get it right. 3. Will is a great connector and has deep connections in the real estate industry. He is just one speed dial away if you need a solid connection to a handyman, a CPA who advises real estate investors, a real estate attorney, or a home staging specialist. We've consulted with everyone Will has recommended and have been happy with them all. Will and his team have handled all of our matters expeditiously and to our great satisfaction. We wholeheartedly recommend them for any residential matters in LA.

His advice and suggestions during the recent process made the transaction essentially effortless on my part. Ray coordinated everything: a light touch-up of the property with a handyman, had it staged beautifully, then finally worked his contacts for advance previews. The results paid off. In a challenging market, we fielded multiple offers with several over-asking. Westside RE buyers can be finicky and make last minute changes, but Ray handled that with grace and patience. His 5 stars are well earned!

This is my personal experience, and I'm sharing it so others can be informed.

It's still a popular tourist attraction and you can see it all from the sidewalk. The interior design is a mix between art deco, pink neon, the Chrysler Building, Italian modernism, a chic speak easy, Trump Tower and a velvet Palm Springs mid century living room.
