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.

I can't say enough great things about my real estate agent, Scott Price. My Ocean Park Santa Monica…read moretownhouse had been rented for 9 years, and when the tenant finally vacated, the property was in rough condition. What initially felt overwhelming became completely manageable thanks to Scott's vision, guidance, and hands-on involvement throughout the entire process. Scott didn't just list the property; he curated the complete transformation of the unit before it went on the market. He helped oversee every detail, including installing beautiful sheer curtains, replacing outdated doorknobs, upgrading every old coffee-colored outlet to clean modern white Decora outlets throughout, selecting and installing 12 new light fixtures, coordinating all new paint, updating the bathrooms with new vanities, faucets, and mirrors, and replacing all of the carpet. The end result was stunning and completely transformed the feel of the home. Most importantly, Scott's strategy and execution delivered incredible results. We received an offer for $101,000 over asking price after just 6 days on the market, and we closed escrow only three weeks later. Truly remarkable, especially in what many would consider a challenging market. Scott is thoughtful, detail-oriented, hardworking, and exceptionally knowledgeable. I'm incredibly grateful for his expertise and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell property in Santa Monica.

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.
