    Cricket Yee is the real deal…read more Buying a home is stressful. Cricket made it feel manageable - and even exciting. She is responsive, sharp, organized, and incredibly calm under pressure. Whenever something unexpected came up (and in real estate, something always does), she handled it immediately and strategically. She fought for us during negotiations, kept everything on track during escrow, and explained every step in plain English. We never felt lost or unsure about what was happening. Beyond the professionalism, she genuinely cares. You can tell she wants her clients to win, not just close. If you're buying or selling in LA, call Cricket. Period.

    I worked with this agent to list my rental properties in Winnetka, CA. My properties were not…read moreadvertised correctly on key platforms, including Apartments.com, Homes.com, and Zillow, which are among the most important channels for marketing rental listings. This negatively affected visibility and inquiries. When I raised these issues and requested corrections, the agent declined to address them, stating that it would take too much time and that technical personnel were unavailable. As a result, the inaccuracies remained unresolved. When I continued to follow up regarding these issues, the agent terminated the agency relationship, which caused delays in marketing my properties. She also suggested that my listings be transferred to more junior personnel within her brokerage rather than handling the matter herself. In addition, I gave clear instructions to restrict access to a separate furnished studio unit with valuable contents and specifically requested that the lockbox code be changed so contractors could not enter. Despite these instructions, after termination of my agreement she willfully made the key accessible to the contractors. In my experience, her conduct was unprofessional, including failing to correct listing errors, not following clear instructions regarding property access, and terminating the agency after concerns were raised. Based on my experience, there were significant lapses in responsiveness, follow-through, and adherence to client instructions.

I don't live close to the rental house I own, and each showing meant a two hour round trip for me. Not to mention following up with visitors, running credit reports, etc. My friend finally suggested I contact an agent to show the property. Sophia had great reviews online so I called her. I could hear instantly how transparent and easy to talk with she was. Once we got started, Sophia was highly professional in how she followed up with me and guided me through the process. I had questions about how to market the house and whether it required upgrades. Sophia was an excellent source of advice, always saving me from unnecessary expenses. She made herself available to me whenever I had questions or concerns. Within 2-3 weeks she had met several people for me and I was able to find my new tenants. Even then, she continued to provide insights and advice that helped in ways I didn't know I needed help. I was relieved of anxiety because I knew the listing was in good hands with Sophia. She communicated to me regularly, ran people's credit reports, provided a lease for us to use and got the tenants' signatures for me. Of course I don't want another vacancy, but when that day comes I know exactly who to call now. Thank you, Sophia.

    It's funny how things work out sometimes. Sophia (and Lillian) were standing at my gate when I was…read morecoming out of the garage. Startled at first, these two beauties identified themselves and explained they had been trying to introduce themselves for quite some time, but could never catch me at home. I invited them in to see the house and spent a bit of time talking and getting to know them. Sophia loved our home and asked if we were at all interested in selling. We had just redecorated and were enjoying the newness of the project, but took her card and promised to keep in touch. Fast forward three years later, and after convincing my husband it was a good time to sell, I reached out to Sophia. Let me just say that in the three years since we'd first met, Sophia (with no pressure at all) always kept in touch, checking in with me from time to time. So sweet! So I called her and asked "Are you still selling homes?" The rest is history, and let me tell you, it went lightning speed fast! She and her colleagues, Lillian and Andy, took us from settling on an asking price, finding us a rental home, full staging, BEAUTIFUL photos . . . with an astounding $401K over asking. Never, and I mean never, did I expect that to happen. We closed on January 2, 2025 and I believe I am still in shock. She held our hands the entire way and was always, always available by phone, text, email and in person. I miss her, Andy and Lillian too. It was a lot of fun! Please do yourself a favor . . . hire Sophia. You will not regret it. And I promise you that after she sells your home, you will miss her.

From our first consultation, Sue really listened to what we were looking for, respected our price range, and provided seasoned advice that lead us to make our own educated decisions and not get too caught up in the emotion of home buying. I really didn't know what to expect going into the process but she made it feel easy. A few highlights: RESPONSIVE - She replies almost immediately to every text and email. When it came to closing, she was on top of all parties involved. PROFESSIONAL - There is no BS and no time wasted with Sue. RESPECTED - When we would share who we were working with at open houses, all the listing agents knew Sue and based on their reactions, respected her as well. Her strong network helped us on multiple accounts. PERSISTENT - Sue fought for us. We would have never ended up getting the dream home we did without her persistence.

    My experience with Inbal Ben was extremely concerning…read more I contacted her about a specific rental unit that was being advertised. She initially provided details and mentioned there would be a showing. Within just a few hours, she suddenly informed me that the unit had already received a deposit. Immediately after that, she began pushing alternative properties -- every single one priced at least $1,000 higher than the original listing I had inquired about. The timing and sequence of events raise serious red flags. Presenting an attractively priced unit, confirming interest, and then quickly claiming it is no longer available -- only to redirect potential renters to significantly more expensive options -- strongly resembles a bait-and-switch tactic. Whether this is a pattern or not, the experience felt misleading and highly unprofessional. Renters are making major financial decisions, and this type of conduct erodes trust. If you are considering working with Inbal Ben, I strongly recommend extreme caution. Verify availability in writing and do not assume that advertised listings are genuinely obtainable. Transparency and integrity matter -- and in this case, both were seriously lacking.

    We have worked with many different realtors to both buy and sell. Tamara (and her business partner…read moreDarren) are far and away the best that we have worked with. I can say without hesitation that we had no complaints working with the two of them and would recommend them to anyone who is in need of a realtor. We worked with Tamara and Darren to sell our house. The house needed a bit of work to be ready to sell and the work involved in coordinating was considerable. Before we could even begin to stress about this, Tamara and Darren let us know that they would take care of all of this. My experience with previous agents led me to be a bit cynical about this, but true to their word Tamara and Darren alleviated every bit of stress for us that they could. They contacted plumbers, painters, repairmen, stagers, etc. Quotes were collected and presented to us. Once we reviewed and gave the OK, Tamara and Darren coordinated the work and timelines to be sure we would be ready to list as soon as possible. They checked in on the home when we were unable to and just went above and beyond. They were a calming influence when we faced unexpected challenges and always offered insights and options without judgement. Their strategies in marketing, staging, and listing the home resulted in a quick sale at over 20% of the list price! We could not be more happy with Tamara. You'll be lucky to have her on your side.

When I couldn't sell my property on the market, I tried, but it was a 5 unit rent controlled building in Santa Monica - it was just tough, I turned to Larry and Brian Weiner. I was involved in another real estate transaction before, where I saw these guys. So I figured I'd give it a try. Amazing team, amazing professionalism and service. It was a hard to sell multi-family property and they came through. I'm planning to use them again. If you are an investor or an owner in Los Angeles county or near and need quick results - go with Flans and Weiner - these guys are good. Boris Dorfman Lending Bee, Inc dba LBC Realty

    Having a loved one pass away, and being left to sell their home is not as easy as you might think…read more I am so thankful to have been referred to Flans & Weiner Real Estate Auctioneers. They are very knowledgeable of trusts, and probates. This company has been helping people like me get that type of property sold in a timely manner for years. I met with Brian Weiner and was impressed with him. He explained everything in detail to me on how he would proceed and what I could expect from him. I signed with Brian the middle of August and the home was sold and escrow closed in the middle of October. Keep in mind every sale and property is unique. I had never been to an auction before and an auction for a home, I had no idea about that at all. Brian told me it was an experience that I would never forget, and he was right. Just amazing. Thank you Brian - you made things so much easier for me. If I ever have to take care of another family member's home after their passing, I will be calling you for your help.
