I first met Jerry's team hosting an Open House event a few months ago in the heart of the San…read moreGabriel Valley area. At the time I was getting ready to sell my house close by, so I wanted to see how the market was. The Open House experience was superb. I followed the house on Redfin and just a few days later the house became Under Contract, and then it was sold at a very good price. When it came to my time, I called Jerry up. He came fully prepared with everything. He provided me full market research, analysis, selling strategy, listing preparations, city compliance/clearance, and a full marketing plan. Everything was well-thought out. Right after the listing, Jerry hosted an Open House event. We received a number of very good offers. Jerry was excellent in the offer selection and the negotiation with buyers. Within just a month, the sale was successfully closed with a very good price. Jerry is sharp, driven, knowledgeable, and transparent. I'd highly recommend Jerry to anyone who needs expert help in Real Estate. He has everything that you need.

He was also generous in connecting us with trusted vendors before we even signed a listing agreement, which gave us the flexibility to decide whether to sell or rent during a slower market. His marketing package was comprehensive, including a professional website, aerials, videos, 2D and 3D floor plans, bilingual marketing materials, and even included professional cleaning. Everything was coordinated in a timely manner to prepare for Coming Soon, Listing, and Open House weekend. Jerry also hired wonderful people. Mandy, his marketing assistant, was friendly and incredibly easy to work with. She had a great eye for showcasing our home and was speedy and attentive with all the detailed edits on the website, descriptions, photos, and flyers. Photographer Michael captured the house beautifully with a variety of angles and brilliant lighting, and Justina went above and beyond in cleaning the house, windows, and garage. In addition to his team, it's obvious that Jerry has solid working relationships with his recommended vendors. Everyone gave the impression that they would treat Jerry's clients well with proper attention, fair pricing, and diligent work to present our home well. Yumi created a thoughtful mood board that helped us visualize how the staging would look. She was generous in sharing design advice and honest about what would and wouldn't work, even for areas we planned to decorate ourselves. Mr. Zhuo rearranged his schedule to make sure everything was finished in time and done in a quality manner knowing Jerry's professional standards. He was very responsive, humble, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable. All the preparations paid off when multiple offers came in. Jerry walked us through multiple strategies, shared his recommendations, and was flexible in going with what we were most comfortable with. Near the finish line, Jerry took the initiative to come up with a solution that got buy-in from all parties and sealed the deal before the weekend. We greatly appreciate him for that! Jerry's support went beyond what's expected of a real estate agent. Throughout the process, he helped check on our house and even brought quality food to feed our neighborhood cat. We are truly grateful for that, especially knowing how busy he was. It speaks to Jerry's kind character, which makes him even more nice to work with.

And I'm so glad we hit it off right away. Her expertise, taste and experience was crucial in helping us sell our home (closed in a month & over asking). Then we became buyers; she was patient with us the entire process, answered many frantic text messages filled with questions, crazy ideas and doubts. We trusted her the entire way, which meant we could rest easy during escrow. We have finally closed and are so excited about our new chapter. Grace may be excited to finally be rid of us after 1-year with us, but we will miss her! Thank you Grace!

I was a tenant at one of the properties Jeremy managed. Jeremy and his team went above and beyond…read moreour expectations during our time at the rental. We've rented throughout LA for the last 12 years and have experienced all types of management, from working directly with the owners to large property mgmt companies, and Jeremy has provided the best experience thus far. Every and any service issue was met with a prompt response and quick resolution. As a family with a small child, attentiveness and communication are things we value as tenants when it comes to things that need to be addressed. We never had issue with not getting a response and were always updated and aware of progress. It was such a pleasure to have Jeremy as our property management and would highly recommend.

My husband and I recently met Laura at an open house in Sierra Madre. We had been to many open…read morehouses in the area due to our search for a home with a range of experiences from not greeting us or talking to us at all to being totally friendly and answering our questions, but not being able to answer because they weren't the actual listing agent and didn't know much about the property and everything in between. However, something was very obviously and immediately different about Laura that we hadn't seen. You can tell that she really loves what she does and is passionate about the process. I was impressed by her compassion towards us, her care and attention to the property and her sellers and even having an extra event and inviting the neighbors. Who does that? Anyone would be lucky to work with her and I would definitely recommend her.

The Berns team was a dream to work with on our condo sale. From the very start, Jason and Laura…read moreBerns immediately stood out to us for their professionalism, responsiveness, and well thought out plan about how they would sell our property. They also reacted to us touring them around our unit in real time, and I felt more confident as they were honest with what they would do or change from the outset, rather than saying what they thought I might want to hear. They have deep expertise, selling over 100 properties a year, so they have a very good beat on the current market and what works to sell your home to meet your goals (in our case, we hoped to reach a certain price quickly because we already had plans to move out). The team is deep and goes beyond just Jason and Laura. They have several other team members that specialize in different services, as well. We interacted with Alex and Mike who helped us ready our property for the open houses, and were always available to answer questions. If you wish, they will also put together a "transformation contract" where they will pay up front for work to be done to the property (e.g., painting, handyman jobs, staging) and then will take their payment out of escrow after the property sells. Also, the team does not take any percentage of those quotes - all the money goes to the contractors. To me, this not only reflected their confidence in their ability to sell the property, but also was just genuinely helpful from a cash flow perspective, while also supporting local contractors. We went this route, and it was quite amazing, as they managed everything from scheduling, to letting people in the house, payment, etc. It was a seamless process. Then when once we got an offer, their transaction manager, Alma, was super helpful in answering all of our questions about the closing process. I was initially a little concerned after we signed to work with them and I saw all the other properties they were currently selling as pretty much all of them were substantially more expensive than our property as they were luxury single family homes. In other words, I was worried we could be seen as lower priority because we wouldn't make them nearly as much money as sales of these other properties. However, not once during the entire process did I feel that way in practice. Our questions and concerns were always responded to immediately, and above and beyond what I expected. I had a fair bit of anxiety during the process as it was the first time we had sold a property, but Laura was there to sooth my anxieties and help me through every stage of the process. Jason, Laura and the entire team are not only pros, but just great and kind people. I cannot think of any feedback I would provide in a constructive manner as we were very happy, well informed throughout the whole process and ended up with a result we were very happy with. I would absolutely work with the Berns team again and recommend them whole heartedly.

Allie is incredible!…read more After relocating to Los Angeles from Washington State, my husband and I spent weekends touring open houses around LA to get a feel for different neighborhoods - and to meet realtors we might want to work with. By total chance, I scheduled a last minute tour through Redfin for a home in Alhambra, and Allie was the agent assigned to me. It ended up being the happiest accident. From the moment we met her, Allie's candidness, warm personality, and sense of humor made us instantly comfortable. We knew right away that she was the person we wanted guiding us through this process. Even with our relatively small list of home requirements, we had one big challenge: finding something between Pasadena and Beverly Hills that fit our (small!) budget. Allie approached it with creativity, deep market knowledge, and thoughtful suggestions that helped us explore areas we might not have considered on our own. We made offers on two homes before landing on the one that was truly meant for us. Through every twist and turn, Allie's honesty, expertise, and steady reassurance kept us grounded. She took the time to explain each step, advocated for us, and made us laugh when we needed it most. I'm so grateful we stumbled upon Allie. We'll absolutely work with her again -- and we encourage everyone we know to do the same.

The five things that come to mind when I reflect on our home purchase with Allie Altschuller of…read moreClarkliving are, professionalism, patience, knowledgeable, understanding and resourcefulness. It was obvious from our first call with Allie that she was extremely knowledgeable of the Pasadena/Altadena area, and where in each of those communities we would feel most at home. From that point on, Allie helped not only to find the perfect home for us, but she also brought in the right team to help identify key items to negotiate a favorable sales agreement. All of this speaks to Allie's negotiating skills, attention to detail, communication and problem-solving skills. It was obvious Allie had a deep understanding of the local market, and was aware of current trends and property values in the neighborhoods that would suit our lifestyle. This was key to our success in finding our new home, as we are moving to SoCal from another state. In far less time that we expected. we found our new home. Then Allie took over to close the deal. During our negotiations, Allie's communication skills and empathy shone brightly in ways that resulted in a very favorable final sales agreement. Allie was also able to identify the issues that mattered most to us and found solutions that were consistently more than satisfactory to us and the seller. Allie was able to explain to us the California real estate market, the sellers' perspective and the new realtor commission environment, which really helped ease the stress of buying a new home. It seemed like Allie was looking out for us like we were part of her family. And Allie didn't leave us after the ink dried. She has continued to be our guiding light in finding solutions to make our new home move in ready, finding the right professionals for the right job. I can't think of any way that Allie couldn't have helped us more.

It is impossible to do Irina justice.

Irina is one of the hardest working, smartest, and most competent people we have ever met. She has a ton of experience in the LA area and we regularly ran into sellers' agents who were huge Irina fans or former mentees. She has developed an arsenal of strategies to set buyers apart in a fiercely competitive market; we absolutely would not have been able to get our house with a different agent. On top of all that, you get the Irina Team. From financing to inspections, she's put together a dream team of professionals. Everyone she recommended was amazing at what they do. Finally, Irina is a deeply empathic and kind person. She figured out what we were looking for long before we did. And even though she has extensive experience, she remembers how overwhelming things can be for a first time buyer. From start to finish she had only our best interests in her mind and protected us from multiple pitfalls and bad decisions. Irina and her team were recommended to us by family friends and we will be forever grateful to our friends for that. We hope we just did the same for you.

We purchased our first (and maybe forever) home in May with Irina!…read more Ok, let me backtrack to 5 years ago when our journey began. My husband and I had met with various real estate companies in the Pasadena area. We felt a bit shuffled around with the larger companies and didn't feel that they provided much of a personalized service. We weren't' expecting anything out of the ordinary but wanted more than what was readily available online through redfin, zillow, etc. I knew with confidence that Irina would be our realtor when she provided a lot of useful information even during our initial consultation. We learned a lot from her just by viewing the properties together. Her insight and experience guided our decisions on which properties to make offers on. She was able to strategize and present a very competitive offer to the sellers. Unfortunately, things did not work out for us and we agreed to put a pause on the home buying process. 5 years later, we decide to contact Irina and see where our luck/future/destiny takes us. A lot had changed within those few years. We wanted a bigger house in the suburbs and the market was more competitive with interest rates rising quickly. We knew that there wasn't much time to waste if we were serious about buying a home. We basically spent most of our free time searching and viewing properties. Multiple, competitive offers were made and we were outbid everytime. Irina would tell us not to worry because it would work out if it were meant to be...! Long story short, we found our home after a couple of months. It was in the neighborhood of our choice and a much bigger property than we had anticipated. Can I just say that I was more excited that we purchased it for much less than what it was listed for? :) We were on vacation in Japan for the last part of escrow and we kept in contact with Irina and her team. The entire process went much more smoothly than what I had expected. I'm going to list the top few reasons why you should choose Irina and her team when purchasing a home: -easily accessible via phone/email -responds very quickly and knows your concerns before you even need to express it to her. She will email you with updates about everything you ever need to know -her team will put together an amazing, competitive offer -provides great advice Thank you Irina and your team for our first home!! We are so grateful and blessed to have had an incredible team of amazing people working with us throughout the entire process.

The closing was seamless and Ken followed up afterward to make sure we were settled. We could not have asked for a better realtor and will be recommending Ken to all of our family and friends.

He was always responsive, whether it was a quick question or something more involved, and we never felt like we were on our own. It honestly felt like he had our back the entire time. We're really grateful for everything he did to help us get our first home. Couldn't recommend him more.

Why a three well- if you are a seller she's great but if you're buying a house she's selling hmm -…read moreshe's tough and everyone knows it so that's great for people trying to get the most out of their sale - but is the quality that goes into the work of the house before the sale or the people who work for her quality- or are they all friends she's trying to give a job to ? Non industry professionals she's trying to turn professional with your money at hand. And if you are a seller she's gotta make that commission. So she will get you top dollar - Basically she's good- but car salesmen good and last I checked a house is a very important sale that doesn't come with a bumper to bumper warranty. Also she prides herself on being Altadenas biggest fan, but is selling every single lot she can- ( that could be the new slogan) everyone has to do what's best for them- but if I was crowned ms Altadena I would assume it felt a little uneasy like it does for ms thein and Do - I get they may trust her because she sold them the house and they want to go live with their grandkids and blah blah, but man did those vids she posted seem like she chomped at the bit to put out tragedy in her wallet. Additionally this team can hold a grudge with a buyer or seller if it doesn't go well for expect to call and get a person - you'll get a voicemail and not a return call. Ex agents that I have as my realtor that used to work for her have also tried to keep connections professional and at least alive and she doesn't return calls to even them. Last but not least - you will see how she is from this review when instead of ignoring it and letting people like George over there speak their peace she will have a retort to undermine and try to make her look superior all though at the end she will be sure to say passive aggressively "we wish you the best"Laughable. Sellers she's great! Buyers - how you treat people in business is how you show up in life- that's all I gotta say
