I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience as a buyer purchasing a condo in Hermosa Beach with the incredible help of Devra Zandell as my realtor! From start to finish, Devra's dedication and expertise made the entire process both enjoyable and successful. Devra negotiated fiercely on my behalf, ultimately securing fantastic credit at the close of escrow and successfully getting me the condo under list price! Her strategic approach and deep understanding of the market truly set her apart. I felt supported every step of the way, and her commitment to my needs was evident throughout the entire journey. The excitement of owning a piece of Hermosa Beach is overwhelming, and I couldn't have done it without Devra's guidance. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, tenacious, and friendly realtor, I highly recommend Devra Zandell. Thank you, Devra, for making my dream of beachside living a reality! read more

Very unconstitutional. This real estate agent is very disrespectful. I had called her office twice to ask her to please pick up and never to distribute flags to my mother's home again. It's is extremely disrespectful to leave flags laying on the ground. Her blatant disregard and respect when I've called her office is unfathomable. I would never do business that has such disregard for our country and great nation and then doesn't have respect for citizens that ask to be respected and not have flags with her advertisement dropped on the ground as litter. This is very shameful. I had called her office in 2023 and asked that she not deliver flags to my mother home but she has intentionally disregarded. I realize she didn't place these flags but instead hired a kid to place them. If someone truly respects our countries flag and all the blood and sacrifices that have gone into giving us our freedoms it is the persons duty to ensure those placing flags on their behalf places the flags correctly. Therefore I stand by my review as these flags should have NEVER been distributed this way and for those that have requested not to receive flags, their request too should be honored. read more

Devra has the experience to help anyone feel more comfortable with making a life change of home ownership. She goes beyond your expectations of a realtor. I found her to be an invaluable source of advice on preparing property to sell. She is very patient and understanding of her clients.

She has connections to help you with your needs for repairs or upgrades down the road. She can make a stressful situation into a calm, easy and smooth transaction. Devra is "Priceless"! read more

Devra helped me buy my first home. Her experience and knowledge of the area were crucial to secure a deal in this crazy market. As a first time buyer I had tons of questions and Devra made sure to explain it all, making this intimidating process easier. She also came up with creative ways to make my offer stand-out even with less than 20% down payment in a really competitive seller's market. Lastly, after my offer was accepted Devra and her team made sure to schedule all inspections in a timely manner so we could close escrow in time. Thanks Devra for making it all happen! read more

Thank you Devra for a great year. we had three amazing transactions with you In 2021. You sold our home in Hermosa and found two perfect condos for us with ocean views. You were always there for us during all three answering questions and giving great advice. You even provided boxes for our move . We have bought and sold many properties in the last 40 years, Devra has been the most professional and caring agent, we have ever had. Jan F read more

Just bought my dream home in Hermosa Beach and Devra was amazing. We found her in the South Bay Axxess book (which is awesome) and from the very beginning she was great to work with. She really read the Market well and when we got into a bit of a bidding war for our house she gave us the advice and used her experience to help us close the deal. Her knowledge of the South Bay specifically was key as we weren't really sure about budget and location and she was an enormous help dialing us in and deciding between Redondo, Hermosa, Manhattan, etc. I'm always a little skeptical with realtors but I have to say she is a good, honest, hard working person that gets the job done. Thanks for everything Devra! The house is amazing. read more

Devra was great helping us sell our house in a short timeframe. The process was easy and smooth and she handled everything while we were out of state which was huge for us. She managed to sell the house over asking. She went above and beyond, Devra even helped us find our rental house and handled everything with the Landlords so we could focus on packing. Now we just need her to find our next house!! read more

I interviewed several realtors to help me purchase a property for my business. Devra is amazing! She was very diligent in helping me find a place and negotiated a wonderful deal. She walked me through every part of the transaction and even after escrow closed, she checked in with me on a regular basis to make sure I was happy. I referred her to her friend who she helped sell a house to in Hermosa Beach. This lady is amazing and will go to all lengths of the earth for you! Thank you Devra, I can't wait to use you again for my next purchase and sale. read more

Devra Zandell delivered on her promise and sold our beautiful home for over asking price! She made this process seamless, and since we received multiple offers Devra helped us select the best buyer for the property. Devra is full of energy, professional, responsive and cares about her client. She keeps line of communication open during the entire process. She has an excellent professional network and introduced us to the key professionals who helped us get our property ready for the market in a record time. I would recommend Devra to anyone who wants to sell their property fast and get the top dollar for their home. Devra's contact info: Mobile: (310) 408-4247 Email: devra@dzandell.com Webpage: http://devrazandell.com/ "When it's time to buy or sell, then it's time to call Zandell" read more

I have worked with Devra before when I bought a house and recently hired her again to sell my house. She was able to get me the highest amount of money for my home in the shortest time. I like how she pays a lot of attention to detail. She walked me through the paperwork which can be extensive and explained everything. Devra communicates all the time keeping me informed each step of the way. You can tell she really cares about the transaction and your satisfaction. I would definitely recommend using Devra for any purchase or sale! Thank you ! read more

Devra is a fantastic partner in finding and securing a home. My husband and I were new to the South Bay area and Devra gave us all the insider info, and with that direction we were able to find a home that we are so pleased with. From the beginning of the process she listened to our goals and worked with us to find just the right place to build our family's future in. One of the many things I appreciate about Devra is that she is communicative and responsive through all channels. There is nothing more assuring when going through a daunting and overwhelming process than having someone who responds to your email or text in a timely manner. All of that said, Devra is also a lovely person and a pleasure to work with. Know that you are in good hands with her. read more

I referred my cousin to Devra who sold her house within a week for well over asking price!! Devra is extremely detail oriented. She follows up and gets the deal closed. She's awesome. We love her!! read more

I would give Devra 1,000 stars if I could! Devra's years in the business give her an incredible wealth of knowledge. She knows the answer to any and every question and a solution for any situation or issue you run into. Her sparkling personality, endless bounds of energy, and genuine care about getting her clients into their dream home are priceless qualities you want in your realtor. In a seller's market, Devra was able to get our offer for our dream home chosen over 3 other offers that were on the table, including an all cash offer! Even though our offer had contingencies. Ours was a tricky transaction but Devra made it feel completely seamless for us. She acts as your shield, protecting you from any buffoonery that inevitably goes on behind the scenes during a real estate transaction. Devra has assembled herself a dream team of real estate. From her assistant to her chosen mortgage agent, Anouheh Moghaddam with Movement Mortgage (who was able to get our jumbo loan approved in 2 week from start to finish!) to her escrow agent, Sandra Shustak at Palm West Escrow in Hermosa Beach, everyone was a consummate professional and at the top of their game. They all made us feel as if we were their most important client and they were always available to us whenever we needed them throughout the transaction. Buying and selling a house is one of the most stressful experiences you'll ever go through. Why not work with the best in the business? Someone who knows how to navigate tricky negotiations and handle those you get stuck working with through the transaction who are less-than-good at their job. If you want to be sure to have the smoothest experience possible (oh, and come out with the best financial outcome possible), you need Devra as your realtor! read more

Our real estate agent we used for years moved on to retirement. My wife and I wanted to assist in helping our daughter and her husband obtain a property in the south bay. We decided to use Devra Zandell simply because she came highly recommended. Devra was energetic, positive, patient and professional. She lined up houses to see in our price range guiding us all the way; keeping in mind that we had a particular budget we needed to meet. It was a couple of weeks of looking when we located a house just two blocks from our residence. This is where a good agent makes their money. We wanted the house. There were four bids on that property. Devra guided us toward presenting a package to WIN the bid and we did. You can't go wrong with Devra. She was great. She also was very helpful in providing artisans that we needed. (i.e. electricians, plumper's, contractors and movers). Devra on more than one occasion would say "I got your back". She sure did and we will use her again the next time we decide to buy or sell. read more

Devra and Wayne Craig helped us buy a townhouse in Redondo Beach In an environment with almost no inventory in our target zone. The quality of the property exceeded our expectations. We had a short escrow of only ten days. This was the smoothest real estate transaction we've ever had thanks to the professionalism of Devra and Wayne in helping us define our target area, identifying potential properties, shaping a successful and economic offer in an environment with multiple potential buyers and coordinating the logistics. We have three more upcoming real estate transactions where we will use Devra because of our high level of confidence in her . read more

Great all around experience. Very happy with the outcome. Devra did a great job and was always available and helpful with any questions or concerns we had. We definitely recommend her services to anyone in the area! read more

Just concluded the sale of my mother's home, Devra was our realtor. Initially we wanted to sell as is to someone who wanted to fix and flip, but didn't get a good enough offer. Instead with Devra's help we found contractors to make the place look great (excellent prices and quality work) and was able to get it on the market before the summer crush of homes for sale. She was involved every step of the way, keeping everyone on track to get things done. We received multiple offers on the first weekend open house and the price rise pretty much covered the house makeover costs. Devra's a bundle of positive energy, her team provides great support, especially Sandra Shustak at Palm West Escrow. Selling a home is not the most pleasant thing you will ever do, but having Devra and her team on your side makes for a much better experience. read more

After a lengthy search for a realtor who fit our needs, we chose Devra Zandell. Not only did she help us secure an all-cash offer for our property within days, escrow was closed before we knew it. She took the time to walk us through each step of the process, especially when things were initially unclear. What could have been a very stressful experience was just the opposite. Thank you Devra for allowing us to continue with our daily lives, as we felt confident you had everything under control. Our transaction could not have run more smoothly! So glad we chose Devra Zandell to represent us. read more

Devra sold our neighbor's house last year and we were impressed with her performance. We interviewed her for the sale of our home this Summer and her "comparative market analysis" and marketing plan was so thorough and professional, there was no need to interview any other realtor! Devra is a small tornado of positive energy! Buyers and sellers love her enthusiasm. Not only is she friendly and easy to talk to, she's also a very experienced realtor. She knows how to work with all the parties to keep the transaction moving forward. And she's a great negotiator, which came in handy several times. Devra also has a team of contractors that fixed up our house before the sale. With one exception (a contractor that over-booked himself) the contractors did a great job. When a couple of problems came up, Devra was on the phone to resolve them quickly. The contractors worked to ensure that we (and Devra) were satisfied. And we were! Our house was sold within 3 days with multiple offers. It was a smooth transaction and I'm so glad we had Devra on our team. I felt like she was looking out for our interests every step of the way. What more can I say? She's a great realtor and I highly recommend her services. read more

5.0 star rating I do not spend a lot of my Time on "Social Media"...nor do I review on Yelp unless there is something Really Important to share. I do use Yelp Reviews to access restaurants, carpet cleaners, etc.and so I rely on Real, Honest reviews. Which brings me to Devra McVicar-Realtor Extraordinaire!

Devra and Donald really are the Dynamic Duo! They seem to be everywhere in the South Bay and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any of your real estate needs. I don't know anyone who would work harder to get the deal done. Their knowledge of the South Bay is a great asset, second only to their drive and determination. read more

I am so grateful for Devra. She is my real estate angel. I was THINKING of selling my 1 bedroom condo in hopes of getting something bigger. I thought I would have to stay in my condo for a while longer before I could get an offer that would make it worth my while to sell. I guess I had put that thought into the universe because, out of nowhere, I received a letter in the mail from Devra indicating she had clients that were interested in buying a condo in my building. This letter, that literally fell into my lap, started one of the easiest real estate transactions. The buyers made me an all cash offer I couldn't refuse. Devra walked me through the selling process, taking care of me throughout. Within a few short weeks, my condo was sold. Easy peasy! I really appreciate Devra being so proactive. This quality has put me in the best position to find a bigger condo more suited to my needs. I will definitely have Devra help me buy my next condo. She is super knowledgeable about real estate, the buying and selling process, and the South Bay. I would recommend Devra for your real estate needs. She's great! read more

When it came time to sell our condo, we interviewed many realtors. We chose Devra based on her marketing plan, experience, but most of all her character. She went out of her way to ensure we had all of our questions answered. She is very responsive to texts which I think is important. Our house sold for higher than expected and the transaction was smooth. Will definitely use her again for our next real estate venture. read more

After interviewing several realtors I hired Devra to sell my house in Hermosa beach. She was so thorough and walk me through every part of the deal. She help me to understand about negotiating the items the buyers wanted and still got me over asking price. I then asked Devra to years later to help me find a home close to the beach. She got my offer accepted quickly and was amazing! She negotiated a terrific deal for me and I can't say enough great things about her. I will use her again and I have referred her to lots of friends. Thank you Devra!! read more

Thank you Devra!! read more

We worked with Devra in 2014 to sell my husband's condo and purchase our home in Torrance, CA (see previous review). When it came time to sell THAT home, we contacted Devra again, as she stayed in great contact with us since the purchase! Thanks to her hard work and networking, we had an offer BEFORE the open house, and well above asking price! The open house went amazingly well, and brought in multiple offers. Thanks so much to Devra - we'd definitely recommend working with her! read more

Devra is amazing! She helped us get into our house in 2010 and just sold that same house for us. She got us the best price possible at that time we bought our house thanks to her great negotiating skills. On the other end, She sold our house in less than a week for over our asking price. She was very professional, great at networking, has her finger on the pulse of the market, and a pleasure to work with. She works very hard to represent her clients and We wouldn't hesitate to use her again in any real estate transactions. Thank you Devra! read more

Devra Zandell from Re/Max South Bay epitomizes professionalism in Real Estate. Not only does she pay attention to detail from beginning to end, she made us feel like we were her only client. Devra was there every step of the way, answered our questions quickly and guided us through a complicated 1031 exchange process. She was our advocate, and truly had our best interests in mind. She is a bundle of energy, has a very positive, outgoing personality, and really made this scary process as easy as possible once we found the perfect property! Even after the official closing of escrow she is still following up with us to make sure we have everything we need. I highly recommend giving Devra a call if you need someone to trust with selling your home, or with helping you find your perfect new home! read more

I don't think I can put into words how impressed I am with Devra and her level of service, but I'll try. First, Devra is incredibly positive and optimistic. The home buying process can be an emotional rollercoaster, especially for a first time home buyer like myself. She was so encouraging and actually made the whole process enjoyable. I felt like she was just as excited for us to get our first house as we were. We didn't have a large budget, and I was worried if my husband and I would ever find anything in our price range. Devra was confident that she would find us our dream house and she did. I'm writing this review from my new house that's so nice I still have to keep pinching myself. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Devra. She got nearly every offer we put in accepted. In fact, the last offer we put in was accepted simply because the selling agent knew about her amazing reputation! She worked so hard on our behalf we felt like we were her only client. When it came time for inspections, she knows all the best inspectors around. Since this was our first home, my husband and I had no idea how to navigate the escrow process. Devra made it easy for us. Even now, after we've closed, she's still helping us by giving us recommendations for services we need (electricians, termite service, etc.) In every step of this process Devra has been amazing. I cannot stop recommending her to my friends who are beginning to look for houses. If you need a realtor, Devra is the absolute best in the south bay. read more

Cant speak highly enough of a particular agent at Remax - Allegra Levy. She was proactive, attentive to our needs, never pushy, and always professional. She truly went above and beyond our expectations - filmming walk thrus on her phone when we were unable to attend, making spreadsheets of our options with thoughts and figures, giving advice, and many more professional touches. She was always upbeat and helpful at any hour of the day. Her youthful enthusiasm was so refreshing in a sea of sour pushy agents. We can't thank her enough. Word to the wise - if other agents are driving you batty, or the process of finding the right place is getting you down, or its all a bit daunting, or you dont know where to start, or you know exactly what you want - Allegra is your agent. read more

Devra has been amazing to work with. She is fast, friendly, energetic and has great communication skills. Most importantly, she is an honest, trustworthy person that we would recommend to anyone in need of real estate services. Devra helped us with a couple of real estate transactions over the last couple of years and provided top-notch service. She is very professional, hard-working, organized and always kept our best interests in mind. She has thorough knowledge of the South Bay and surrounding areas and is committed to doing a great job with every step of the process. She was also able to recommend a very good trust attorney, whose service was invaluable during a very trying time. We highly recommend Devra for any real estate needs. read more

Devra is amazing! We have been working side by side her for the sale of our property in Hermosa Beach. Devra helped us prep the house to get it ready for market which resulted in selling the home in 4 days after hitting the market with multiple offers and received over asking price! We currently live in Arizona and communication with Devra out of state was flawless. She is 100% knowledgeable about the market, 100% honest, and 100% professional. I actually call her my friend now because she is so warm and friendly. I would recommend Devra without a doubt! read more

Donald and Devra are two of the nicest real estate agents I've met. With great personalities, awesome communication, and tons of knowledge about the housing industry, i couldn't have found 2 better people to help list my house. Not only did they come and meet with me at my house to talk about specifics, but they showed me what could be improved to help get the house sold. They kept me in the loop with every agent that came by and even told me their feedback on what everyone was saying, so we could make improvements if needed. They were awesome! I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends needing to sell or buy a house right now. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Devra, she made our home buying & selling process easy and enjoyable. A few years ago, my wife and I were in the market to purchase a single family residence and sell our town home. Devra walked us through every step and she made things very clear and easy for us to handle. Devra helped us look at 50-60 homes in a matter of a couple of months. She really helped narrow down our search and we quickly had an idea of what we were looking for in our next home and where we would like it located. When we found our dream home, Devra was just as excited as we were! Devra has a true passion for real estate, you can really tell she cares for her clients. She helped us get the house inspected top to bottom and helped us put together an offer. She also helped get us in touch with contractors that could help remodel our house. She made the whole process smooth, it is a testament to her hard work how much she cares about the people she represents. We are friends to this day and when we decide to purchase another home we would be fortunate if she would be willing to help us again! read more

Recently I bought a place with Donald and Devra as my agent. What can I say -- I looked at around 10 places and with their help was able to broaden my criteria from a 2 bedroom condo to a 3 bedroom. Donald was very helpful with all the details and made sure I got as much as possible in buying a place. There was one place I really liked that someone else's offer was accepted but it fell out of escrow and Donald was on it ! He and Devra submitted a solid offer and got accepted ! They kept me informed through the whole process and answered all of my questions. I am so happy that I got to have 2 realtors with great communication, and almost instant availability. And did I mention Donald is hilarious and now I have 2 more friends for life. read more

We would like to recommend Donald and Devra McVicar for your real estate needs. They were delightful to work with! They are energetic, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, efficient, etc., etc! We were tasked with selling my Mom in laws home after she passed. The home was in decent condition, but basically, had not been undated in 40 yrs. The McVicar team was very helpful in assisting us to get the house looking good and market ready. In a matter of 4-5 weeks, the house was transformed into a very nice, move in ready, home. They used a variety of marketing venues. They held multiple open houses. Pretty much after each open house, we received an offer! We do not live in the area, but the McVicars made it easy for us to manage from a distance. Lots of communication going on! They were super sensitive to our needs. They were just super! read more
