After over 50 years in the Palisades, my husband Jack and I are bidding this magical town a fond…read morefarewell. We don't have the luxury of time or finances to rebuild in the Palisades, so we've decided to relocate to Carlsbad, CA to be closer to family. Deciding to sell our lot in the Alphabet Streets was a heart-wrenching decision but who to list it with was never in question. Mike Edlen and his team (Tati is the BEST!) were there for us every step of the way. Every time I called Michael, he would pick up the phone and say in his friendly voice, "hello Sharon Sutton, how are you and what can I do for you today?" While we had an idea of what we wanted to list our lot for, Michael suggested a different strategy. We listened to his wise council and within a day we had multiple offers (4 then then another later). From the moment we hired Michael's team to closing escrow (in 21 days!), they held our hands and answered our most outrageous questions. This was the one phase of this long and anguishing journey that began on January 7th that I knew and trusted we'd be taken care of, and we were. Thank you, Michael (and Team Tati), for being such a fine, upstanding person who truly believes in helping others. It was a pure pleasure doing business with you. Jack and Sharon Sutton

I was anxious about this remodel since I needed to post my condo for sale as rapidly as possible. Everyone I dealt with, from Christine to Gustavo, Cesar, William, and Arturo was professional and helpful. The day after my remodeling was complete - and on the eve of our listing - I noticed a couple of other areas that needed attention. I called Christine and she was able to send workers the following morning and fix them - truly above and beyond! I recommend them very highly.

I have worked with Dan Fagan of CBI Commercial real estate for approx. 12 years…read more Dan has both sold and assisted me to acquire several businesses, mainly nightclubs, bars and restaurants over that time period. Dan has the highest level of work ethic and professionalism I have ever experienced. He truly caters to his clients every need. He keeps on top of the deal points, deadlines, etc and reminds you to do so also! Dan has also always had a great repore with both buyer and seller (and I've been both) which helps get the deal done smoothly. I can't recommend Dan enough. When I have recommended Dan to my friends or business associates, they have had the same successful experience.

Highly recommend working with Michael to anyone looking for a commercial space.

We didn't consider any other realtors to represent us and that was a smart decision. The experience of having them sell our home was above and beyond all we could have hoped for.

We wanted to find someone we could really trust to oversee the process, and we were extremely lucky to have Todd and Kelley represent us. They coordinated everything seamlessly, from cleaning/staging to hosting open houses to connecting with buyers' agents and getting insight. Also we want to note that it was very easy to communicate with them. We got frequent updates every step of the way, and they were transparent about the entire process. We also found their expertise to be super helpful. We had talked to several agents, and it was clear they were the most experienced and knowledgeable. They are local to Culver City, so they had a firm grasp of the market and buyers, which helped us strategize. Thank you, Todd and Kelley, for the support. We highly recommend considering the team for your needs.

Kate came highly recommended from a friend of ours and we are very happy we took that advice. We…read moreknew this was the right decision after our first meeting where she made us feel welcome during the start of our first home buying experience. Kate spent extra time talking things through and could not have been more accommodating. We used Kate's mobile app during the home search and would routinely mark homes as Favorites, plus add Notes with questions. Kate and her amazing assistant Ashley would respond very quickly, providing comps and asking if we would like to be accompanied on an open house. When it was time to put in an offer on a home, Kate and her team went into overdrive. Kate was all over the process with her quick and informative responses. She orchestrated the entire process seamlessly, working closely with us, the loan officer, seller agent and other third parties. From scheduling all of our inspections, to negotiating with the seller, and finally to picking up our keys! We never felt pressured but always felt supported throughout the entire process. Now we are living happily in our new home and could not have done it without Kate and Ashley. Thank you!

Her time and commitment dedicated to marketing my property was top notch. She truly went above and beyond my expectations in every way. Making the decision to sell a "primary" residence is not an easy one but we moved through the process assuredly. She would not settle for low-ball offers or short cuts to make her life easier, which I found refreshing. I plan to use her for a rental property next and would highly recommend her to anyone interested in buying or selling a home with confidence!

We found Margaret on Yelp after we had a terrible experience with another agent we found on yelp…read more(she shall not be named). We wanted someone to help us buy a house, apparently to SOME agents that is a lot to ask... especially if you don't have a big budget. Unlike our previous agent Margaret sent us listings every day, personal emails about which ones she liked and why and times we could go with her to see them. She treated us as if we were her only clients and we were her highest priority even though I knew deep down neither of that was actually true... When we put an offer on a house after having been pre-approved we found out our mortgage broker had make a HUGE mistake. We lost the house and all hope of homeownership. Margaret came to the rescue with a new mortgage broker referral, new listings, and a positive outlook. A few weeks later she found us the perfect house.... well almost. Margaret found a few things wrong with it, things even the inspector missed (she's brilliant like that) so we decided to offer a few thousand below asking in a VERY competitive market. I was worried we were asking too much from the seller but Margaret kept assuring me and I trusted her. After much negotiation Margaret got us the house for well below asking and later a huge closing cost credit on an AS IS contract. I think she even surprised herself on that one! I have to say when I first met her I thought she was a tad on the quiet side (especially since I'm a tad on the obnoxious side) but like others have said, don't let that fool you. Though she comes across as sweet and unassuming she's a real shark when she needs to be. She never gave up on us and for that we owe her big time. Thanks Margaret for all your PATIENCE, support and free therapy sessions. You were a lifesaver in more ways than you will ever know.
