His advice and suggestions during the recent process made the transaction essentially effortless on my part. Ray coordinated everything: a light touch-up of the property with a handyman, had it staged beautifully, then finally worked his contacts for advance previews. The results paid off. In a challenging market, we fielded multiple offers with several over-asking. Westside RE buyers can be finicky and make last minute changes, but Ray handled that with grace and patience. His 5 stars are well earned!

Scott se tomó el tiempo de explicarnos cada detalle de los contratos, enseñarnos cómo funciona el mercado local y darnos consejos valiosos para poder competir en el mercado de Santa Monica, que no es nada fácil. Buscamos casa durante casi un año, y en todo ese tiempo Scott jamás nos presionó. Siempre estuvo a nuestro lado, guiándonos con paciencia y motivándonos a tomar una decisión inteligente, nunca una apresurada. Y definitivamente valió la pena. Gracias a Scott encontramos exactamente lo que estábamos buscando, y además logró algo muy poco común: consiguió que aceptaran nuestra oferta antes de que la propiedad saliera oficialmente al mercado. Scott también negoció un crédito enorme a nuestro favor por parte de los vendedores y además nos recomendó y coordinó las cotizaciones de varios contratistas para la remodelación que queremos hacer. Estamos realmente impresionados con el profesionalismo, conocimiento y dedicación de Scott. Durante este último año no solo ganamos un excelente agente, también ganamos un amigo. Hemos disfrutado muchísimo trabajar con él y todo el proceso fue mucho más agradable gracias a su apoyo constante. Si están buscando representación de primer nivel y quieren realmente disfrutar el proceso de compra, no duden en trabajar con Scott Price.

Absolutely stellar!…read more What sets Scott apart is his warmth, care, professionalism, and responsiveness. We've worked with other agents, but Scott is truly head and shoulders above the rest, and we found our perfect home because of him. He guided us through every step of the process, taught us what to look for, and helped us with all the paperwork and procedures. At first we felt overwhelmed. The market was tough, and we couldn't find a house that met our needs within our budget. Every week Scott picked out the best options for us, and he met with us every weekend. He's smart and very attentive. He took notes on all our comments and preferences and remembered every detail. He's also completely honest, never afraid to point out problems, and always ready to fight for us. By the end, we knew we could trust him fully. During the negotiations he fought hard to get us what we asked for. He put together a detailed list of repairs, worked with the inspectors and other professionals, and followed up on several items the seller hadn't delivered. He has a great network and was able to recommend a specialist for every issue. In the end, even under pressure to close on schedule, he secured the credit we needed to add vents to the crawl space and extend the gutters. When our house hunt was over, we had found not only our perfect home but also a new friend in Scott.

It's now been several years since we purchased our home, and I still think about what a great experience we had with Anita and Hugh. If you're buying a home, use them--you won't regret it!

Even though we've been through the home-buying process before, this transaction threw some serious curveballs our way. We were dealing with a massive headache and constant delays with the underwriter that threatened to stall the whole deal. On top of that, Anita managed to successfully negotiate certain contingencies for us--which is incredibly rare and difficult to pull off in this specific market. Every time an obstacle popped up, she was already on top of it, protecting our interests and pushing the process forward. Anita is sharp, highly proactive, and exactly the kind of advocate you want in your corner when a deal gets complicated. If you want a realtor who actually delivers and knows how to navigate a tough market, go with Anita.

We had to move quickly and didn't have time to scout neighborhoods, or even visit the properties before making a decision. Maggie gave us detailed reports on neighborhoods in a language we could understand, ran all over the greater L.A. area to look at properties, and sent detailed videos on all our target properties. We ended up thrilled with our neighborhood and property even though my family had never set foot in the area or house. It's a true testament to her many skills. There are many people have knowledge, skills, and understanding of the market, but in addition to those requisite skills Maggie has a sincere dedication to her customers that sets her above the competition. It's very rare to find someone with all those traits in any field, and if you are in the realty market in L.A. I highly recommend connecting with Maggie.
