Buying a home is an incredibly stressful process but Cece helped make the process easy and fun. I…read moream so grateful to her for her knowledge, professionalism, and help in making everything go seamlessly. This is the 3rd home we've bought and we've worked with three different agents. Cece is by far the BEST. She is knowledgeable about the market and knows of so many off market listings and those coming soon. She would go above and beyond - driving me around and telling me about the different neighborhoods, the schools, and the subtle differences in the communities we were looking at. When the market was quiet, and there was not much for us to look at, she would physically drive through the neighborhoods we were interested in and research the owners of homes under construction to see if they had interest in selling. She is detail oriented and always professional. She is always available for us and responds right away. We love working with Cece so much that we recommended her to my brother and sister-in-law and she helped them buy their first home. We were so impressed with Cece through the buying process that we are also working with her to list our previous home for sale. Cece is an incredible agent and I cannot imagine working with anyone else. In addition to finding an amazing agent, I also feel that I found a new friend. I highly recommend working with Cece to both buy and sell.

Darby helped make our relocation experience from San Francisco to Los Angeles excellent! Her…read moreimmense knowledge of the West LA area coupled with her expertise in the home selling/buying process is really what made us feel comfortable the more we worked with her. Buying our first home went extremely well thanks to Darby and I would highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling, particularly in West LA (we bought in the Mar Vista / Venice area). In addition to her real estate knowledge she was available 24/7 and is probably the most reachable person I have ever worked with on anything: replys to emails at all hours, night or day, returns calls right way, etc. Finally, when it came time to put in our offer, she was assertive in the way she packaged our deal and through tough negotiations ended up getting the house for less than we expected, and getting repair credit that I didn't expect. Overall, she is someone who works quickly and has your best interests at heart--she is a fighter and you'll be glad she is fighting for you!

Working with Cory Holtzman and his team has been a truly unique experience. Firstly, I met Cory at…read moreone of his open houses - he followed up with me, one of the only realtors who did from the many open houses we went to. Cory was also the only one who took the time to really understand what our quite specific needs were with regard to shopping for a new home and selling our existing one. I would describe my husband and I as very particular, high performance clients who are very demanding and Cory was with us every step of the way. Endlessly patient. His closing comment on almost every phone call was, "If you need anything at all - let me know", and he truly meant it. Our property sold within the first week on the market and with multiple offers. All due to Cory's market knowledge and experience particularly in the area of Cheviot Hills. We ended up buying an almost finished new construction property that Cory brought to us before it went to market due to his relationship with the builders. He always went in to bat for us and worked tirelessly to make make sure we reached a solution we were happy with whenever any issue came up with the 'pre-sale'. Cory has excellent connections within the industry and I'm almost certain we would not have been in the house we ended up buying had it not been for our introduction to his mortgage broker recommendation, Shelly Logemann and her team at RPM mortgage. Due to personal circumstances ours was a long, labored and challenging loan application process and Shelly was unbelievable in her professionalism, skilled ability and patience. We literally had 2 other mortgage brokers tell us what we were trying to do was not possible before Cory suggested Shelly, and she took the challenge and made it look easy. I can't thank her enough, and Cory's relationship with her made the process of communication and getting the deal done instrumental to its success. Throughout out this year long process, I have come to understand that Cory doesn't see his clients as transactions - he sees them as relationships, and ultimately when it comes to making what is often the biggest investment or divestment of your life - that makes all the difference. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you Cory!

Further - I've called his office / emailed his office 3 separate times, asking him to stop. Nothing has helped. My issue with his dropping leaflets at my front door is that I travel regularly - and leaving anything at the front door - for days at a time - is a clear indication for criminals that there's no one home. His lack of concern is enough of a concern for me that I would look elsewhere for a sales representative.

Todd is terrific. He's knowledgeable, straightforward, reliable-- and all the other things you…read morecould want from a realtor. But here's what sets him apart: While we were buying our new place in Redondo Beach, the other realtor for the sellers leaned over to me and whispered: "Wow. You got lucky. Todd is GREAT." She was right, too. Todd sold our condo, got us into a great house, connected us with a terrific loan broker, and did everything with a personal touch. He drove from Santa Monica to Redondo in the middle of the day to help us scout places. He stopped to answer every single question, and he truly cared if we got the house we wanted. I'm not saying the whole point is to impress all the other realtors in town with how GREAT yours is, but maybe it is, a little bit. He's extremely good at what he does, and it's obvious to everyone who works with him-- even his competition.

I wanted to make the right choice in a professional that will serve and protect the ones I love. Knowing Tamara through leadership with the California Association of REALTORS over the years I have always been impressed by her skill, ability to connect with people and using the latest technology to serve her clients. After doing my research I found a impressive background on Tamara that confirmed my decision to refer her to my mom and aunt to help with the sale of my grandmothers home. From beginning to end she handled the entire process with care and diligence. My mom is not very Tech Savvy and being over six hours away Tamara was able to guide her step by step through the process and make sure she was informed and taken care of. She was able to provide options that fit my family's timelines and objectives. She was wonderful at keeping everyone in the loop and answering any and all questions for my family. My mom told me many times through the process that she felt so at ease that she had someone she could trust to manage everything with us being so far away. If you are looking for a fantastic REALTOR in South Bay/ Westside Area Tamara and her Partner Chris with Beach Real Estate Group are by far the best choice you can make!!! They are amazing communicators and negotiators. From the little details to the big picture, they cover it all. Their professionalism is superior and they are fantastic at reviewing all available options and giving the pros and cons to each scenario so that you can make an informed decision. Thank you Tamara and Chris for making it a wonderful experience for my mom and aunt!!!!

Tamara is the best of the best and we could not have asked for a better realtor!…read more This was our first time selling a home and didn't have any experience going into it. That was not an issue because Tamara did a great job holding our hand during the process. She came to our first meeting well prepared, with a formal proposal that included market comps, a marketing plan, timeline, etc. We left our first meeting feeling confident in Tamara and she lived up to (actually, she surpassed) our expectations. Our home sold for above asking in just 14 days (from listing date to close of escrow). She did a great job keeping us up to date during the entire process, providing relevant knowledge to assist us in the sales process and instead of giving us suggestions, would provide us informative insight so that we could make the best decisions for our family. During this process, she also assisted us in purchasing a home as well. We knew our criteria for a new home was difficult (specific location, layout, budget, timeline, etc..) however, she was patient, understanding, optimistic/positive and relentless. She made it her priority (or at least that is how we felt) to find us THE house, no matter how many houses she had to show us. When we did finally find the one, we faced MANY difficult challenges (this is an understatement to say the least), however, Tamara fought for us and did anything needed to ensure we were able to call this house our home. We are certain that if we had gone with any other realtor, our chances of winning the bidding war (there were 7 other bids, including all cash offers) and successsfully closing escrow (we faced EXTREME difficulties during the process), would haven been slim. We are proud to have had Tamara as our realtor and highly recommend her.
