The new home!

My wife and I were impressed with Spencer from the very first meeting. We met with Spencer at his office. As we were leaving, we looked at each other and agreed: This is the guy we want to work with. Spencer helped us buy our dream home and sell our former home. His expertise and calm manner helped us take some pretty major steps, including purchasing a new home before we sold our current home. Spencer's advice was right on the money, and both transactions went as he predicted. He worked tirelessly to make our purchase happen, and advocated for us with the seller's agent, who was evasive and less than truthful. Spencer kept the sale of our old home on track, even as the COVID-19 lockdown began and things got strange. Whether buying, selling, or both, Spencer Wall is the guy you want!

Spencer has been true to his word from when we met him. He's helped us on at least three separate real estate projects in Laguna Beach this past year. The last one, a fixer upper in Top of the World. We had heard of his reputation before we met him and he came through for us just as expected. We will work with him again in the future.

See all

They were completely committed to helping us get the most for our home, achieving more than we ever thought was possible. Having sold multiple homes in the South Bay, we can say without a doubt that we've never had an experience as seamless and supportive as this. They handled every aspect of selling our home in Manhattan Beach and went far beyond expectations; connecting us with incredible contractors, helping with landscaping and staging (they have unbelievable taste!), and checking on the house after we had already moved across the country. They are brilliant, have magnetic personalities, and above all, are truly kind and compassionate people. You are in the absolute best hands with them. We will always be so grateful to Piper and Karen for making our MB sale and cross-country move possible!

We packed all of our stuff and moved to Montana, leaving absolutely everything in the hands of Karen & Piper. They closed our home after the movers finished (we were already in the airport on our way to Montana). They made sure to stage the home to make it look like a million dollars. They have impeccable taste. They got us a huge amount of offers just after two days of our house being listed with all of the offers way above the listing price. It was amazing how they marketed and showed our house. I never thought we could get that much for our property. We honestly just followed all their suggestions because we know how efficient and smart they are. They are not only trustworthy but the most professional real estate agents you are going to find. I wish I could keep working with them in the future, but we aren't planning on buying or selling any more property in Southern California. They genuinely care about performing the absolute best work that they can provide. They are passionate about business and people.

I am a home seller in Laguna Beach. I tried using a smaller real estate office at first to sell my…read morehome. Needless to say, they were unsuccessful. So I began looking at which realtors in the area were the biggest marketers. After all, that's what I wanted- someone who would promote the heck out of my house. In comes John Stanaland and my entire experience as a home seller turned from disappointed to enthusiastic. First, John answered my call personally. He then made an appointment with me to meet at and inspect my home. He was on time for the meeting and that means a lot to me. John is a smart guy and he really knows the local real estate scene. I gathered this about him in our first meeting. Therefore, I have him the listing. Almost immediately John and his dedicated team, including Arianna and Trevor (Stanakid), got to work. They began holding open houses nearly every single week. Every time, they would walk the home and help to come rely prepare it for showings. I also liked that they would bring several people to the open house to watch my things while strangers roamed the place. That have me a sense of security. Most importantly, John and his team took the time to understand the less obvious and particular selling points of my home. They then prepared and distributed wonderful literature complete with great professional photos to prospective buyers. Arianna was the main agent assigned to my home sale. She is a true professional and certainly conducts herself in a manner appropriate for selling high end beach real estate. I felt Arianna was able to quickly understand the intentions of prospective buyers and then acted on the ones she felt should be acted upon. John's personal marketing that he spends so much money on week after week is what eventually brought the buyer to my home. As difficulties arose, John and Arianna were there to meet them head on. Today, my home sale closes and the ppf I am receiving makes me very happy. I offer John and the Stanaland my highest unqualified recommendation. I would not hesitate to use their services again or to recommend them to my friends and family. TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THAT YOU CANNOT GO WRONG USING THE STANALAND GROUP!!! I saw another posting from what appears to be an angry person. After this very positive experience with John and his team, I find it very hard to believe the negative posting was actually left by a client who utilized his services. I would place my bet that the negative posting was left by a competitor or someone else with a misguided axe to grind.

He keeps sending me unsolicited spam. I call his number many times and get poorly done voice mail…read more No return calls. It was very unprofessional for a person selling million dollar homes to not even answer the phone or have an assistant answer the phone. I also want to know how he got my email address. I read a review where someone was happy he sold his house in 4 days. Either a fake review or a uninformed person. A house selling in 4 days is UNDER PRICED. Home owner probably had no clue on what the market was in his area.

From our very first conversation, it was clear it wasn't just a transaction -she truly cared about finding the right home for my family. The home-buying process can be overwhelming, but Missy made every step feel manageable. She listened carefully to what we were looking for, asked the right questions, and never once pushed us toward something that didn't feel like a fit. Her knowledge across every area we were looking in was impressive, she knew the neighborhoods, the market, and exactly what to look for. What really set her apart was her communication, how deeply she cared, and her negotiation skills. She wasn't just checking boxes, she was invested in us as people not just clients. When it came time to negotiate, she advocated fiercely on our behalf and made sure we got the best possible deal. She was always responsive, proactive about updates, and honest when it mattered most. When we hit bumps along the way, she stayed calm, solution-focused, and kept us moving forward with confidence. We found a home we absolutely love, and I genuinely don't think we would have gotten there without Missy's expertise and dedication. If you're buying or selling, do yourself a favor and work with Missy, you won't regret it! Gabbie

In reality, after a month of lowball offers, deals falling apart, and absolutely none of the promised bidding-war fireworks, he suggested we reduce the price even further , despite similar homes, many not nearly as nice as ours, selling for more. We were completely perplexed. Every time we asked what was going on, there seemed to be another explanation about something supposedly wrong with the house, but never much acknowledgment that maybe , just maybe, the strategy itself wasn't working. At some point, when your beautiful home starts being treated like the last dented can in the clearance aisle, you know something has gone sideways. So we parted ways, took the house off the market for a few weeks, regrouped, and hired Kathe. The difference was immediate. From the moment Kathe walked through the door, she understood what made the home special. The custom woodwork, the huge back patio, the classic kidney-shaped pool, and all the little details that gave the house character. Instead of telling us what was wrong with it, she saw what was right with it. And we loved that. She brought in stagers, added her own personal touches, repositioned the home properly and , this is the part we particularly enjoyed, suggested we actually raise the asking price by $10,000 over our original listing. The minute the house hit the market, we received multiple offers. It sold in a freaking WEEK for nearly $40,000 more than what we had originally been asking. Talk about night and day. The entire experience with Kathe, albeit a very quick one, was an absolute pleasure. She understood the home, understood the market, and most importantly, knew how to present it in a way that made buyers see what we had always seen in it. We genuinely could not recommend her more highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. And when the day eventually comes to say goodbye to our current house, there won't be a dramatic realtor audition process. We're calling Kathe.

Kathe knew the neighborhood, knew the potential buyers and just got to work. She raised the asking price and one week later we had multiple offers over asking.

Just a consummate professional with huge negotiation skills.

As a very satisfied client of Russell's, I'd like to counter what I consider to be erroneous…read morecomments made by this individual. If you're considering engaging Russell or South Coast Realty, you owe it to yourself to read on (especially if you're facing potential foreclosure). To begin, let's set some perspective, context, and facts - in place. First, perspective: We would agree that we all face varying levels of life disappointments. It's inconceivable to me that someone who's currently blessed to be on the buying side of the equation for a + $1M home for their family, would consider the need to transition their "dream" to some other home...a"loss". Really? Added, trying to disrupt the livelihood of another based solely upon half-understood facts, fueled by personal emotion. Second, context and facts: Foreclosure sales can be extremely difficult to navigate with the various banks, who in theory, manage them. This often overwhelmed system further extends to the courts of jurisdiction and legal entities, to tax authorities and sometimes even homeowners associations. There's no way to conduct a purely scientific (or traditional) sale process in the midst of so many variables during a foreclosure mitigation process. I know. My wife and I have sadly faced one ourselves ( a calculable loss however, compared to the more incalculable things we've also "lost" in our own private story). Important to note; in our process the bank conglomerate ended up party to a lawsuit themselves as a result of not conducting protocol according to prescribed law. My point? Things go array despite best efforts and projections. Russell surely had every reason to expect a foreclosure sale to be delayed based upon historical patterns and even real-time data. The fact that it did foreclose doesn't equate to a "lie" as you stated. It was an educated opinion. People like Russell who've been in business successfully for over 30 years with no complaints on their record, don't make impulse or "unethical" decisions that can tarnish their reputation on the alter of a single deal. In fact, in our case, thanks to Russell's win-win-win approach we were able to avoid the foreclosure and short-sell the property in a way where everyone was taken care of best as possible. Don't equate earning money for such complex services synonymous with "greed" simply because the outcome or process doesn't please every party, every time. Another point: since the home did ultimately sell in foreclosure, its ownership transferred & it became the responsibility of an asset manager who's job is to sell it quickly and (often) for cash only , with no contingencies. I'm not sure if you were an all cash buyer who had no intention of performing inspections & seeking repairs, but this clearly may have also been a factor. These are the risks those who 'flip' are willing to absorb. Further, it's important to remember it continued to be the agents' fiduciary responsibility to their client/s (the new owner & the buyer) while still try to earn the business. Plus, I'm confident Russell still did what was possible to assist the former owners, regardless. That's just being a good business person & what keeps him in the game to help other families who 'have' been able to mitigate the foreclosure, like us. Ultimately, the 'flipper' (also not the bad guy) helps facilitate things so that yet another family finds their dream home. That "flipper' probably also invested more into upgrades before listing it for the market price. This too, is smart business. And frankly, not everyone is cut out for the demands and stresses of taking either of these roles. No one was 'hurt' by the transaction. It's the poor folks who lost their home who were hurting overall, of course. Much due to the greed you refer to, but happening at the level of authorities and regulators we put our trust in - who failed us all. And this is the point...because the families Russell reaches "outside his area" (like us) who are on course to lose their home anyway, are instead offered help in practical and legitimate ways (not "lies") using lender cash incentives or help with modifications (requiring no fees upfront) & deploying other helpful measures many brokers don't even think about, let alone facilitate. As to you, I don't desire to come across as insensitive. I acknowledge your 'disappointment', wish you the best, & hope you've already found the right home for your family. But in light of this perspective, I'd encourage you to reconsider & rescind your disparaging characterizations (which can negatively influence other families in trouble to choose a less-effective agent). In closing, for anyone who's considering hiring Russell's firm to help them with their impending foreclosure; through personal experience I would highly recommend him and his team. He's experienced, honest and trustworthy, and can be depended upon to achieve the best possible outcome for your family.

Do not trust him to represent you ethically. Does not respond and acts and does everything a real…read moreestate agent shouldn't do. Definitely don't waste your time with him or his listings if he still has any.
