As a first-time house seller in Los Angeles, there were a lot of unknowns involved in the entire process. I was intimidated about holding my own and getting a fair deal for my property in such a competitive and cutthroat market. Luckily, Sebastian Stofenmacher eased my worries and helped me swing an excellent deal, all the while helping this newbie out and giving me very good tips. He was professional while also being friendly. I felt comfortable asking him any question that came to mind, knowing he would clearly explain it without judgement. When it came to the actual sale, he fought for me and helped me stick to my guns without being rude to the buyers. It was refreshing to see a broker do business in an honest and fair way. I would recommend Mr. Stofenmacher to anyone looking to sell their house, especially if it's your first time or you're not confident in your ability to negotiate a fair compromise with a buyer. read more

I have experienced significant issues with Edgestone Real Estate and property manager Jonathan Stofenmacher. Management relies on an 'inspect and delay' pattern regarding maintenance, consistently failing to address urgent life-safety issues and habitability concerns in a timely manner. They have also attempted to unilaterally alter lease-mandated services and lack basic professional follow-through. I cannot recommend their management services. read more

Jonathan is always on it regarding maintenance request! THANK YOU!! It so easy with the new app portal to pay your rent and communicate with property management! read more

Edgestone made buying a home easy. We were buying in a difficult competitive market with bidding wars. Edgestone made sure we got the house we wanted and helped guide us through mortgage process. They made a lengthy process seem easy. We are so happy in our home and couldn't have done without them. Highly recommend :) read more

The guys at Edgestone are without a doubt the most knowledgeable realtors in the entire LA area. They are successful for good reason, number 1- they ALWAYS answer their phones, no. 2- they ALWAYS find you the property you're looking for and no. 3- they ALWAYS sell your property for the top dollar you want. But to put the frosting on the cake, they go above and beyond with assistance...Not only did Sebastian get me a surprisingly fantastic price reduction on the house I wanted, I didn't even have to show up at the closing because I was out of town. I arrived back and Sebastian handed me the keys to my new home! He even took care of negotiating some repairs I wanted and got them done before I even got back. You could not ask for better service in any way! read more

I took my friend Sougnia to Edgestone a month ago as she was ready to buy a her first house and I was recommended to this company by a friend who has already purchased a property with them. I must tell you that when I saw the agents I almost walked away, they are SO YOUNG! but then I realized I am the one getting too old. We had an amazing appointment with them, they had photos, prices and details of all the potential properties. My friend and I had such an amazing learning moment about real state!. They took us the same day to see some of the properties and after a month and two offers later, she is finally in escrow! Thank you guys! your are the best and will make sure to keep recommending you. read more

When my father passed away, he left us with two homes in fair condition. One was the one we grew up in and the other was his final home - so we cherished these. We did not want to put money into repairs or cosmetic improvements. Our estate attorney recommended Matias from Edgestone Real Estate. Other realtors suggested "investing" into improvements, yet Matias told us there is a market for these type of homes. He was very knowledgeable and educated us on the current market. I told him I don't like open houses, I want the serious buyer to approach him to request an appointment - he agreed. With each offer, he would meet via conference call with us to discuss. As the executor, I was faced with many emotions I did not expect. Matias was supportive and understanding maintaining his professionalism. That really made an impact. We sold one home within three weeks of the listing, but the second home took a little longer. Matias kept us informed and hopeful. I would highly recommend to anyone selling or buying a home. Thank you Matias! read more

Sebastian proved he is above the rest. When we first met to talk about listing my property he gave us a target range for the sales price. He presented a plan/strategy to get us there. After listing he showed he was able to execute the plan and get us top dollar for our house. The part that impressed me the most was during the offers and escrow period where he was able to negotiate aggressively in our favor. When reviewing the offers he took his time to sit down with us and explain the pros and cons of all the offers, spoke to the lenders to make sure they were properly qualified etc... I would recommend Sebastian to anyone looking to sell a property. read more

Can not thank you enough for all your professional help and impute. I worked with Edgestone Real Estate to sell my house and buy a new one, they were fast and efficient. They delivered all that they promised. I sampled a couple other realtors before finding Edgestone team. They helped me to buy my new home after showing dozens of properties over the course of two months. Here are the highlights: 1. They is suuuper knowledgeable about LA neighborhoods, and even blocks/streets of a given neighborhood - very important when it comes to a home's true value. And this is true for a good chunk of LA - 2. If you're interested in buying a run down home and fixing it up yourself then you're in luck, they have immense experience with these types of properties and can help guide you through the process. 3. If you're looking into buying a multi-unit property to live in and rent out the extra units they also have a lot of experience with that. Not only is they are excellent realtors, they are extremely friendly, and will not push you to buy something you don't want. read more

I used Edgestone to sell my condo a few years back and I had a wonderful experience. They were helpful, knowledgable, and easy to work with. I will be using them for all my future real estate needs. read more

It was my great pleasure working with Matias of Edgestone on the sale of my Century City condo. Matias was patient throughout a long process and worked hard to achieve a sales price that was reflective of all the value we had created in the space. He gave us great advice as we negotiated with several buyers and helped us choose the one that ultimately closed. He guided us through escrow, closing, and dealing with our complicate HOA. The amount of care and time that went into our listing by him was more than any broker/agent in town would have given - no question about it. Also, the quality of photography and virtual tours he invested in for our listing was top notch. I could not recommend Matias and Edgestone more wholeheartedly. read more

You only call SEBASTIAN STOFENMACHER when you want the best real agent in Los Angeles

I was looking for a great Realtor and Rental Specialist in the Los Angeles area. After much research I found Sebastian and his team. I hired them to manage my family's 42 unit property in South Los Angeles. They did an exceptional job in both dealing with Tenant repairs, and getting our rents/returns increased significantly. I highly recommend them to anyone needing property management assistance; especially if you have a property in a Rent Controlled area. read more

I feel so fortunate to have found Sebastian and his amazing team. His experience and knowledge were fundamental in the successful marketing of our home. His management of the entire sales process was amazing as he kept us informed (and optimistic) of each and every development as it happened. He didn't miss a beat and made us feel like we were his only client. Without a doubt, he has our vote as the best Realtor in Los Angeles. read more

SIMPLY THE BEST After I received my cash settlement from an accident ten years ago I was finally able to buy a home. In Los Angeles, there are hundreds maybe even thousands of real estate agents out there but only one agent like Sebastian. At first I didn't know what I wanted or even where to start. Fortunately Sebastian was so professional, he took the time and patience to help us find a place we can call home. Let me just say the place we found was our dream home. It had the open floor plan, a spacious kitchen, gorgeous view and a bathroom that you don't mind spending hours sitting on the toilet in. Sebastian knew what we wanted even before we knew. As I've stated before I rarely give reviews other restaurants but when service is above five stars I make the exception. If you want to buy a house, you call Joe Blow down the street. But if you want to a buy a place you can call home, Sebastian is the one I would recommend. read more

Sebastian and Matias are very experienced and helpful. They are knowledgable, patient and timely with all my inquiries. They also speak Spanish, which I imagine can be helpful. I will definitely use them for future purchases and sales read more

The Edgestone Real Estate team was great - they did not disappoint! My wife and I turned to Edgestone and Sebastian when we needed help finding a home. They kept us informed every step of the way. When we finally found our home, Edgestone made sure we got the deal done. We love our new home. Thank you Edgestone! - Matt & Becca read more

Called him around 7PM on a weeknight about a listing and he answered the phone. Told him I had a few questions and he said "no problem." He's so informative and engaging that it prompted more questions. When I kept talking, he seemed completely unfazed that we'd been on the phone beyond "a few questions." Very nice, helpful and generous, qualities in very short supply these days...Thank you!! read more
