I used The Agency twice in December 2019 (as the buyer) and July 2020 (seller). I represented…read moremyself in the purchase as I am a licensed real estate broker in a foreclosure purchase of a very nice home. It was a complicated purchase so it took a while as foreclosures have no disclosures and it was a hillside property so there were numerous inspections involving engineers, consultants and more. As the buyer, you are pitted against the selling agent because you wanted to get the best deal. Well, Austin Brunkhorst from The Agency couldn't have been better to deal with. He was always professional during tense periods which including dealing with negotiations with the banks and inspectors. Alex Brunkhorst was also part of the my transaction in July 2020 and was amazing to work with. One transaction was 7 figures (more than double the other) and the other was 6 figures, and they treated both with equal care. So when I had to sell my house months later, even though I had originally considered other agencies, one that specialized in modern homes, I changed my mind and chose Austin because of his temperament and how he handled everything. His sister Alex Brunkhorst was also involved and she was amazing as well. He also referred the title company, and I was happy with them as well. I'm a broker, but I don't work in the market regularly. Our house that we were selling was not a regular house, but a house (tear down) with approved plans. The market was a pandemic market, which was unpredictable, and seemingly great for houses ready to go, and not so great for ours. Developers were hot to buy our house at a discount. An owner/user MIGHT want our house at the price we wanted, but there weren't a lot of people who wanted to take on a project. His team helped us figure out pricing, photography and more. We listed the house Monday night and had a full price cash offer Thursday. We had back up offers in case the first offer fell through. COVID delayed closing because the city was slow with the title report but it was still as smooth as it could be. I look at the low ratings for the Agency and want to say that the Agency is big. Obviously there are excellent, average and mediocre agents everywhere. I kept in touch with Austin after they sold me my house. You just have to find and pick the right agent for you. I have referred the Agency to two of my neighbors already.

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.

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.

Ray Lyon has to be the most spectacular realtor anyone could ever hope for. We had interviewed…read moreseveral realtors in the West LA area to help sell our family home while we were quite a distance away. At our initial meeting we could tell that Ray was a straight shooter, insanely knowledgeable on all things real estate with deep expertise regarding the Westside and how to achieve the ideal outcome beyond all expectations. We put our trust in Ray, followed his guidance every step of the way and WOW the results were exceptional ! Ray made what could have been a very challenging process a simply amazing experience. We needed painting done, yup, he took care of that well below what it would have cost us, needed a plumber, yup he got that too, wait we needed to move all the furniture....OMG he got that done, multiple times saving us countless trips and expense hiring our own professionals....We saved thousands simply by working with Ray AND to top it off his strategy to sell the home was brilliant ( a bit scary but we went with it); resulting in a crazy fast sale, not to mention an ultimate offer and closing price that was approx 200K OVER the asking price. We never expected that but once again Ray delivered so far beyond our expectations. Rays the real deal, no one can top his super service and outstanding results. I never really saw the value of any realtor over several past home sales but holy cow...this was different. If you are searching for a realtor go no further. We highly recommend Ray as the very best you will ever find if you are looking to list or purchase a home. WOOOHOOOOOOO.....so lucky to have had this entire experience with Ray !

I had a deeply disappointing experience working with Peter Maurice, Zizi Pak, and Barnet Gold…read more During a property transaction, I was misled, and ultimately lost my deposit after contingencies were removed--despite serious discrepancies. I raised these concerns, but felt that these agents closed ranks rather than working in good faith to resolve the issue. In my opinion, this was not ethical representation. I strongly encourage buyers to proceed with caution or look for agents elsewhere in Beverly Hills who will prioritize transparency and client advocacy. This is my personal experience, and I'm sharing it so others can be informed.

I would not recommend working with Keith Adler based on my experience. Perhaps he has gained more…read moreexperience since then, but at the time, his negligence and attitude made the process unnecessarily difficult. While he presents himself as having 30-35 years of real estate experience, much of that appears to stem from flipping foreclosure homes rather than representing residential buyers. During the purchase, he was unable to provide the level of guidance or organization required, especially for a deal with a short escrow period. Some basic responsibilities, such as scheduling inspections, were left to me. He even left town during a critical window and only returned after I raised concerns. Toward the end, when questions arose about overlooked tasks, he became defensive rather than constructive and seemed unfamiliar with much of the standard paperwork. In hindsight, I likely should have ended the relationship sooner, but as a first-time buyer, I was advised to stay the course. I now see that decision led to more complications. He should not have been assigned to a time-sensitive transaction, and it's clear he needed more training and oversight from his brokerage, Rodeo Realty. Even after closing, issues persisted. For example, I had to retrieve my own keys from the listing agency. Ultimately, I handled many aspects of the process that should have been managed by my agent. This experience would have gone far more smoothly with someone more experienced or better supported.
