Eileen was wonderful, experienced and knowledgeable during our rental home search. We lost our previous rental home and everything we owned during the Los Angeles fires in January. We needed to find a new home quickly so that we could restore some normalcy for us and the kids. Eileen was so caring, thorough and responsive. She helped us secure a new rental very quickly and was a great laison for us with the other realtor and property owner. And she also followed up with us in the weeks after our move to make sure we were happy and doing ok. I would highly recommend Eileen if you are searching for a new home in the greater Los Angeles area. Thanks Eileen! read more

We finally purchased a home in September 2020, which is nothing short of a miracle considering the LA market and COVID. Eileen really came through for us, constantly arranging showings (a real pain because of the pandemic, and she was always very cautious and safe on that front) and communicating with listing agents on our behalf. When we were in escrow on our house, she managed to get us thousands of dollars back from the sellers during negotiations, which we thought would be impossible in such a seller's market. We LOVE our new space and are so grateful to be where we ended up. Thanks Eileen! read more

Fantastic Agent and Amazing Person! We were incredibly fortunate to have met Eileen, especially since we were inexperienced and first time home buyers. She gave us a very thorough introduction and explanation to the home buying game, and she landed out dream home in this very competitive market in Los Angeles. She is, hands down, an incredible strategist when it comes to putting in offers - she uses her well connected resources, effectively communicates to all parties, and is a great coach for approaching offers. When we went through escrow, she went above and beyond for us - she thoroughly reviewed our inspections, negotiated for credit where it was due, and guided us through the endless amounts of first time learning experiences. We've met a few other agents at the beginning of our home buying process, so we can assure you that Eileen stands out among them all. Best of all - Not only is she a fantastic agent, but she's also an amazing person with an approachable, reliable, caring, and friendly personality. Highly recommend, enormously thankful, and happily enjoying our new home!! read more

Eileen was helpful and patient while I renovated my father's (inherited) home and prepared it for rent. When the time came she did a great job representing my side, knowing how much time and money I had put into making it a great place for the right tenant. Eileen is direct and honest and cuts to the chase, which makes her the perfect person to represent a client, be it on the buying or selling side. She also knows her market, which helps clients who have questions and need guidance. I highly recommend you follow her on IG: eileenlanzarealestate to get a sense of her working style. read more

I cannot put into words how thankful my wife and I were to have worked with Eileen on helping us find (and close on!) our very first home here in LA. From the very beginning, she was just on top of EVERYTHING. We had an initial sit down to talk about neighborhoods, our budget, etc. and she worked to put together a plan that felt so us, so personalized and yet so professional. She sourced homes for us to check out and it wasn't uncommon to me to receive emails from her in the middle of the night with updates or just checking in. She was also very much in tune with what our priorities were when looking for our home. We have a three-month-old son and already thinking about school districts is something she was quick to suggest, being a dedicated mom herself. She came to the table with vendor relationships and recommendations which proved to be invaluable. People who would go out of their way to pull ME aside and tell me how much they love working with Eileen. How often can you say that about your real estate agent? On top of everything else, Eileen guided us through the entire process with a smile. Besides her sharp professionalism and attention to detail, she brought personality, humor and levity to every single day, something that two nervous first-time buyers appreciated so much. I guess it goes without saying, but Eileen will be our agent of choice for all of our future real estate endeavors. Cannot. Recommend. Her. Enough. read more

Last year my husband and I decided we were ready to start looking for our first home in Los Angeles. After asking for recommendations, we got lucky and were referred to Eileen Lanza at Keller Williams in late November of 2013. Right away we could tell she was a great match for us. During our first in-person meeting we discussed the entire house-buying process and told her about about ourselves and what we were looking for. I appreciated how up front she was during that initial meeting as she told us what would be possible with our budget and what wouldn't be, and explained the ins and outs of the process. Her general attitude and approach made us feel feel confident that we'd find something perfect for our needs and we'd have fun along the way. At the end of our first meeting she told us she would find us a house by February and indeed she did! Throughout the time we worked with her she sent us listings and recommendations of places to visit and was always available and quick to respond to our many, many emails. She helped us narrow down our options and really figure out what we were willing to compromise on and what we weren't. After searching for a few months, we found a great place and made our first offer. With her guidance, we were able to close on our dream house within a few weeks and navigate the potentially overwhelming pile of paperwork and logistics associated with home ownership. We couldn't have done it without her and would happily recommend her to anyone and everyone, not only for her real estate expertise, but because she is a pleasure to work with! read more

We could not have found a better agent for our real estate search in Los Angeles. Buying our first home in this city was an overwhelming task, and it was comforting to have an expert on our side who was willing to fight for us throughout the entire process. We stumbled upon Eileen out of chance, inquiring about a house she had listed. Unfortunately, that home wasn't for us, but Eileen worked hard for 6 months to find us EXACTLY what we were looking for. The journey wasn't easy, and we had some disappointing bumps along the way. Yet, through it all Eileen was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and very honest. She expressed her opinions on each house and the neighbourhood, and never tried to push us into a sale for the wrong reasons or make an offer that wasn't smart. And just when it felt like there wasn't a house out there for us, she found our perfect little home, in a perfect neighbourhood, with all the character and potential we were hoping for. Even after our offer was accepted, Eileen was truly a bulldog, and fought for us during a challenging escrow process and uncooperative bank. We may not have gotten through these obstacles without her advice and expertise. After all is said and done, I consider Eileen more than just a real estate agent, I see her as a friend. We are excited about our new home, and will definitely work with her again when the time comes. read more

Eileen was super extra gold star fantastic! She helped me and my wife find the perfect house, and made the entire process super easy. She walked us through all the different parts of the home buying process before we even started looking, and was always available to show us properties that weren't open houses. We loved how she didn't rush us into a purchase and was totally understanding when we had a mini freak out and pulled out of an offer in the middle of bidding. In the end we're so glad we found her and got a house that was absolutely perfect for us. read more

Eileen is a wonderful agent that really fights for her clients. If you really want a friend who will constantly go to bat for you with the other agents, sellers, inspectors, loan brokers etc. she is the one for you! We were very specific about they type of property we were interested in. It took us about a year to finally get what we wanted. She stuck with us despite having some beyond challenging obstacles with lending. We just closed escrow on a great place that took over 3 months to finally close (not a short sale). She had us into her office to explain much of the home buying process with us. If she doesn't know something she will do what she can to find out. I never once felt like she was worried about herself but instead was only concerned about what we needed and were looking for. When our deal was about to go sour she even chipped in her own funds to help placate the seller and lobbied so our loan broker and selling agent would do the same. We can not say enough about a great friend and we look forward to working with her again in the future. read more

Eileen Lanza is an amazing agent and a good person. I have dealt with many agents in my past and they were unsuccessful with selling my Hollywood Hills property. Eileen is professional, proactive and diligent. She won my confidence and trust, especially when we received multiple listings less than a week the property was listed. I can be high strung but Eileen held my hand through the hold process. I highly recommend her services and look forward to her assistance with my future real estate needs. read more

We've known Eileen for years and share a passion for real estate, so we were excited to finally work with her on a home purchase. She worked creatively and collaboratively with us to find the right house in a tight market on a tight turnaround. She's great to have around in those stressful times in the process - warm and funny. She opened her contacts up to us, helping with everything from a chimney contractor to an amazing loan broker. We tell everyone in Mid-City to choose her. read more

Eileen is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and she was helpful in selling our condo. She is responsive and professional. Her commitment and hard work is evident every step of the process. Her thoughtful demeanor also results in a pleasant transactional experience. Eileen is definitely someone you are looking for to buy and sell properties! :) read more

I want to take this opportunity to tell you a little about my Real Estate agent, Eileen Lanza, should you be fortunate enough to work with her in purchasing or selling your home. I sought out Eileen's assistance to purchase my first home and it was no easy task for her, yet she made it extremely easy for me. To begin with I was interested in too many areas of the city. Eileen helped me focus my search to the areas that would best fit my wants and still fit my budget. In addition, I was nervous about the whole process and Eileen was very patient with me, addressing all my concerns and answering all my questions. If you are seeking an agent in making one of the most important financial decisions of your life, Eileen here to help you. There is never any heavy pressure to make you feel doubtful or uneasy about your decisions to pass or make an offer on a property. She is straight forward, pleasant and professional at all times. This was my first Real Estate home purchase and I am confident in saying it would not have been so exciting and painless without Eileen's support and assistance. I am also confident in saying I will work with her again in future purchases and whole-heartedly recommend her to all my friends and family. -Margarit Avedikian read more

Eileen helped us with our new home. She was patient, kind, and most off all listened to what we needed. She was fair, honest, always available and guided us in the right direction. We are so happy with our home and that we found Eileen! read more

As first time buyers, the anticipation of starting the home buying process was both daunting and stressful. My husband and I have known Eileen for many years, and working with her to purchase our first home seemed second nature. I am happy to say that our home buying experience was enjoyable and relatively stress-free. We also were able to work out what I consider to be a fantastic deal on a beautiful house in our target neighborhood. I am certain that we asked a million questions and required a lot of training in the real estate process. Throughout the entire transaction Eileen provided us with useful non-biased information and support. Looking back on the experience, I am absolutely floored that such a "big" purchase and seemingly stressful life event was actually fun. I credit a lot of this to Eileen's dedication and personal touch. I hope this is our last house, because we absolutely love it. However, if we were ever to look again, Eileen will be our choice of agent once again. We've recommended her to a few friends already. Nancy & Kurt Muller read more

My wife and I were first-time home buyers, and were nervous about buying a home in a volatile market. Eileen was recommended to us by a friend, and we're so glad we used her as our agent. She is friendly, knowledgeable about the area, professional and informative. She patiently walked us through the process, and always had time for our questions. Most importantly, we valued her integrity. We were interested in a house that, looking back, wasn't worth the price we would have paid for it. She could have pushed us and sold us that house, but she encouraged us to hold out for the right house. Getting us into the right house for us at a good value was more important to her than making a quick commission. I also found that her referrals for loan agents and inspectors were fantastic - they were professional, honest and on top of details. Bottom line: She works for you, and she's someone you can trust. read more

Four years ago our family had a condo to sell. We contacted Keller Williams Realty Larchmont looking for an agent to help us price our condo. Somehow we were connected to Eileen Lanza. She met with us, providing current comps in the area. She was very knowledgeable of the area and the particular building. Eileen was friendly, easy to talk to, and most definitely not pushy! Our first meeting was a pleasant encounter where we learned how to improve the condition of our unit to get the maximum sale price. Eileen would check in with us periodically to see if she could help us in any way. However, due to family situations, we were not able to list our condo until this year. We contacted Eileen again after 4 years of on and off communications and told her we were finally ready to list. She told us what we needed to do to spruce up the property to get our asking price. After we did our part, she listed the condo and sold it within a week! She always checked in with us during the closing process, even continuing to show the property just in case. Her professionalism, friendly demeanor, and knowledge of the real estate market made her the perfect choice as our selling agent. We were fortunate to have met Eileen and her staff. We thank her so much for helping us! read more

We used Eileen to sell our home and buy another one. She is all the things the other reviews say. Completely professional, dedicated, calm, resourceful and knowledgable. Always making us feel like we were her only clients and willing to go above and beyond in every way. I highly recommend Eileen whether buying or selling a house! read more

My husband and I have used Eileen Lanza at least 5 times over the last 5 years. She has helped us buy two properties, sell one property, rent a property, and rent out a property. While she is great in every area, her honesty and integrity are her strongest suits, which is not always easy to find in someone who is working on commission. She always has her client's best interest at heart, and she does not pressure you to buy or sell if you are not comfortable. She is also always accessible and responds to client's needs right away, which has happened even when she has been out of town. We can't recommend her highly enough, and obviously have been happy enough to use her for multiple transactions over the last 5 years. read more

I'm not sure what to add to all the glowing reviews of Eileen that I already see here, other than to say that they're spot on and more. Eileen is not at all your average realtor... by that I mean she's someone you can trust 100% to look after Your interests, focus on Your needs, and truly care about the outcome for Your family. She has immense patience, understands the complexity of the decisions that have to be made, and helps guide you through, holding your hand all the way. We've worked with other realtors before and have never felt the level of comfort and trust that she earns so naturally. Are there other good agents out there? Sure. But to combine all of Eileen's experience with the level of personal support she offers is truly unique in Los Angeles. We were very fortunate to work with her on our most recent move, and look forward to calling her as soon as we're ready to buy again. read more

Super nice, fast, efficient and organized!!! Highly recommended!!!

Eileen is amazing! She guided us from start to finish and turned a daunting process into a dream experience. She was friendly and professional, and she answered all of our questions every step of the way. Thank you, Eileen, for helping us sell our home & find our perfect dream home! Eileen's experience, professionalism, and patience is unmatched. I will recommend her to everyone! Seriously, just talk to her, and you will see. read more

It is hard to overstate how fortunate I feel that we found Eileen to help us buy our first home. I was a little nervous going in, because not only was it our first home-buying experience, but I didn't have any leads or referrals when it came to selecting an agent. But thanks to online reviews, we set up an appointment with Eileen, and it was an easy decision to move forward with her assistance. Eileen is smart, professional, and knowledgeable, but also funny and incredibly likeable. Especially once we got into the swing of things, I came to SO appreciate how valuable it was to be working with an agent that I just liked so much as a person. What a complete chore this process would have been -- in an already somewhat stressful home-buying journey -- if I'd felt any hesitation or awkwardness in giving Eileen a quick call/email/text and working through any number of scenarios with her always-helpful advice and counsel. And perhaps most importantly? Eileen is HONEST. I once toured a home with her that more or less fit what we were looking for, but it smelled quite strongly of cigarette smoke. I figured that the smell would satisfactorily dissipate with airing out, change of flooring, etc., but Eileen advised against putting in an offer -- she had a friend who bought a former smoking home, and the smell still lingered more than a year later. Obviously, if Eileen was only focused on "closing" our deal and moving on to the next buyer, she needn't have shared that advice. But at no point along our journey did I ever question for one moment that Eileen had anything but my family's best interest in mind. That's the kind of priceless trust we relied on with such comfort when, ultimately, we needed to decide how high of an offer to put in on a house that we knew would be receiving multiple bids (and that we really hoped to call our home). Eileen counseled us to the range that she thought might win the day without extending ourselves into territory that was, in her assessment, too high for the particular property. And, or course, she was right! We are so excited to finally have our first happy little home, and so grateful to Eileen for everything she did along the way to make it possible. I will be recommending her to everyone I know. read more

Eileen Lanza was hands down the best agent we could have worked with to find and buy our new home. She was there every step of the way helping us through a tough and unusual negotiation between us and a developer. We were so impressed by her enthusiasm and willingness to go above and beyond in addition to her business savvy. We will without a doubt be using Eileen again when it comes to buying or selling a home. read more

I wanted to write a letter of deep appreciation on behalf of my family. Buying a home for the first time is supposed to be a very exciting time; for us it was extremely wrenching. The stress of leaving our old home combined with having only 40 days to locate a new home and go through escrow could have very well ended in murder or divorce. Your calm approach turned my dread into excitement that not only could we do this, but also you would find us the perfect home. You listened intently to what both my husband & I had envisioned our dream home would be. You asked all the questions I would never have thought of to spare us the tediousness of not having to look at properties that would not be right. My favorite story from this whole experience is from the one & only day we looked at properties. You had five houses scheduled & told me the last one was a surprise, and it was one you were sure we would love. I do not know what magic you had up your sleeve, but the surprise house is now ours & the fact that it was not even on the market was truly astounding! Then, once we fell in love with the house, with lightening speed you had Gary Sayble, our loan coordinator, working out the best finance deal possible, followed by all the necessary inspections all lined up in a single day to make it easy on my busy schedule. You made it possible for us to close before our 40 day limit - a feat of professionalism & real estate savvy. I would like to say I have had friends who have not had such remarkable agents. It has cost them time & in some cases, a great deal of money. I tell all my friends in this market where agents really care only about the sale, it was grand to have someone looking out for my family & who deeply cared that we find the perfect house. We are so in love with our new home & great neighborhood. Eileen, I thank you sincerely for the gift of your real estate talent. Please feel free to show this letter to any future clients and please allow them to call us. It would give me great pleasure to tell them about everything you did for us, and to give you the highest of all possible recommendations. May your future be filled with as much joy as you have given my family. Sincerely yours, Kari S. read more

I only have praises for Eileen. She has been instrumental in every way to finding tenant for our house. We live out of the country and we couldn't have orchestrated the whole process of finding the tenant and getting the house ready for the tenants without Eileen's top quality professionalism as well as her personable approach. We lived in the NYC and London in the past 14 years and have rented 10+ homes, her service and commitment to her job has stood out above all. read more

We asked Eileen to assist us in finding a new home in Hancock Park. She found us an incredible home in a highly competitive market. She successfully worked through the bid process with us being the winning bidder, while making sure we did not overpay. During the actual sale, the Seller was quite difficult and she navigated us through the various challenges, allowing us to close on the house while still getting our needs met for the actual purchase. Always professional and a wonderful person, Eileen is a great asset to have on your side. read more

Eileen is the consummate professional. She was great from the beginning in finding me a house, through the offer, negotiations, further negotiations after inspection right on through escrow and finally closing. I'm moving from the east coast and was not available during the whole time so communications were key. And they were great. She kept me totally informed through every step in the process and always responded immediately when I texted, phoned or emailed her. I highly recommend her - wish there were more than 5 stars. read more

Eileen was a consummate professional. Lovely, responsive and dependable. I needed two broker opinions on 2 properties (for a living trust I had to revise) and the timeline was tight. She came over, took pictures for both properties and had beautiful reports done within 2 days. In my brief dealing with her she was just a dream. Then she followed up a few times to make sure my attorney was pleased with the reports! Really can't say enough nice things about Eileen!!!!! read more

Eileen had our Mid-City house sold in less than 6 weeks last November. She went above and beyond every step of the way. From getting it ready to sell in less than 2 weeks, pricing it right and making sure it was listed/seen in as many places as possible, setting us up with a great escrow agent -- basically guiding us seamlessly through the entire process - to ultimately finding us our rental home. A great professional experience! She will definitely be our first choice when we decide to buy again! read more

Eileen was a delight to work with during the purchase of our rental property. She is a highly professional realtor who took time to explain and answer all of our concerns and questions we had about the purchasing process in a timely and personable fashion. Eileen is an excellent communicator, highly efficient, and extremely knowledgeable in her field. A year after purchasing our rental property, Eileen was able to swiftly fill a vacancy in our duplex. Her thorough understanding of marketing methods, advertising, and media were integral to locating multiple prospective tenants in a swift manner. Eileen's attention to detail, ability to act quickly and understanding the needs of the buyer are the main reasons why we will continue to use her services in the future and why we would highly recommend her to potential sellers and buyers. read more

A seemless and absolute amazing experience we had with Eileen Lanza as our realtor in the Hancock Park Mid-Wilshire area. We recently sold our home and could not have been more happier with the hard work and dedication that she put in to making it happen in a timely manner. Eileen's knowledge of the Larchmont / Mid-Wilshire / Hancock Park area was invaluable and she really helped my husband & I navigate through the stress of selling and moving. She always made me and my family feel like her #1 priority. I am confident in saying that if you are looking for a realtor in the Larchmont/Mid Wilshire/Hancock Park adjacent area to either buy, sell, short sale, or even just to ask a question about the housing in the area... and you want a realtor that isn't just about making a sale, but someone who is kind, trustworthy, and dedicated to you as a client. Do not look any further!! Run to the Keller Williams on Larchmont and ask for Eileen Lanza! read more
