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.

He got back to me 10 minutes later and within a day we were searching for homes. He helped me hone in on what type of home we were looking for, and spent extensive time combing through options, answering calls and texts DAY AND NIGHT, and meeting me in person to look at homes. He is VERY PATIENT, and respects your price point. He won't try to upsell you and he will work HARD to FIGHT for the right price for you! Anyone who knows anything is aware that Ken is a legend in the industry, AND the kindest man. We are very happy with the Silverlake duplex we purchased and the next time we are looking at properties, we will not hesitate to call Ken and work with him again... AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU! Go work with Ken! :)

Direct, clear in her explanations, and always on our side, Abbe was the consummate professional and partner from the first to last day of this experience. Buying and selling a home at the same time is double stressful, but the ease of working with Abbe made it absolutely manageable, and even sometimes enjoyable! I recommend her unequivocally.

I wrote the review based on my experience with him and the rude treatment I received from him once he found out my mother is a real estate agent. He has called my personal cell phone, reached out to me on LinkedIn, called my workplace, and even emailed my manager at work via LinkedIn (and God knows who else). He is harassing me and I am writing this review to document his actions in case he continues to bother me.

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!

Communication was great along the way and Steve (their transaction manager) does an amazing job at making sure that all required documents are completed when they're supposed to.
