When we found Mina, our family was going through one of the most difficult and emotional times in…read moreour lives. My mother-in-law was in the middle of a divorce and needed to sell the marital home. None of us had ever been through the home-selling process before, and we were overwhelmed, anxious, and hoping to find a realtor we could genuinely trust. From our very first conversation with Mina, we felt an immediate sense of relief. She spoke with confidence, knowledge, and compassion, reassuring us that we were in capable hands and she absolutely delivered on that promise! Given of the unique circumstances surrounding our sell, we had obstacles but throughout the entire process, Mina consistently advocated for our family's best interests. She handled every challenge with professionalism and determination, always going above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, she was able to successfully complete the sell of our home in a timely manner while protecting our interests every step of the way. We are incredibly grateful to Mina for her guidance, support, and unwavering commitment. Mina is truly exceptional at what she does, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate real estate professional!

Mina is personable, devastatingly detailed, and thinks well past the point of purchase. She starts…read morewith the why -- why you need this house, in this location, at this price point -- and works forward: the right comps, a ruthless negotiation, and the right team around her through inspection, renovations, and the networking after. I appreciate an agent who understands the big picture of your goals and pushes back on poorly framed assumptions. Mina does both. Our search was tight and efficient -- search to close in about two months. If you want an agent who can tell good from great, Mina is that person. And she'll help you find great.

If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about his clients, Andrew Mason is the person…read moreyou want in your corner. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, a LOT of nerves, and a very specific list of things we were looking for in a condo. We spent more tiem than most keeping an eye on the market and waiting for the right place, and Andrew was incredibly patient through all of it. We never felt pressured or rushed. Instead, he helped us stay focused on finding a home we truly loved and felt good about. Then, when the right condo finally came on the market, Andrew jumped in as our guide through the process. He got us in for a showing within 24 hours, helped us put together a strong offer within 48 hours, and guided us through every step with so much confidence and expertise that what felt intimidating suddenly felt manageable. Our offer was accepted quickly, escrow was smooth, and just 15 days later, we were homeowners. Andrew is thoughtful, responsive, and somehow makes a stressful process feel fun. We really felt, and still feel, like we can trust him in what is the biggest decision of our lives so far. We always felt like he was looking out for us and giving us honest advice, not just trying to close a deal and move on. And any time we were with him, he was never rushing out the door. He was patient and always answered our (many) questions. We're so grateful for his help, and in many years when we are ready for an upgrade, know that he will be our first call.

Sitah was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and proactive throughout the entire process. Her deep understanding of the local market and strong relationships were absolutely critical--she was able to uncover an off-market opportunity that we never would have gotten without her. She guided us through a smart, strategic offer that ultimately secured the home. I truly felt supported and confident every step of the way and would highly recommend Sitah to anyone looking to purchase a home, especially if you want an edge in a competitive market.

I had a great home buying experience working with Alyssa. From the first time I reached out to her,…read moreshe was consistently helpful and had great communication. My partner and I were first time homebuyers and didn't know anything about the process. I met with Alyssa and she walked me through the basics in a way that I could easily understand. She got us set up with the Compass app so we could search for homes through the app and let her know ones we were interested in. For every home, she followed up with the seller's realtor to get the status of the home. She went with us to open houses or set up private showings. It's such a big purchase, and having someone knowledgeable about what to look out for was super helpful. She let us know pros and cons for the homes we looked at and it really helped us make a decision. Once we found a house we loved, she put in the offer and took charge from there, which I appreciated. She explained the steps in escrow and kept us updated along the way. We had to counter offer and her advice on was probably what got our offer accepted! Alyssa helped set up the home inspections, plus contractor inspections to get quotes for repairs. I didn't have any experience with this, so being able to rely on her and her trusted contacts was invaluable. The closing process was very smooth and we ended up with a great house. The whole Ito Orio group were great throughout the entire journey - always sending updates, getting signatures, communicating with all the parties, everything was seamless. They all made the process super easy and I'm especially thankful to have had Alyssa's guidance during the process.

My husband and I initially were looking on our own and were having such a difficult time due to the craziness of the housing market recently. Once we were connected with Scott, everything was less stressful and he was able to help us navigate the home-buying process from start to finish. My husband and I also are not originally from the South Bay area so having someone who grew up here and is familiar with the area was extremely helpful! Communication: Easy peasy! Scott was always easy to reach and promptly replied if any questions came up. Expertise: Scott was able to answer any questions that we came up with based on his knowledge and previous experience. He was able to clearly explain the process and paperwork to us non-real estate folk and provided us with insight throughout the entire process. Overall, we had a great experience working with Scott! He is so friendly, easy to work with, and gets the job done! We honestly do not know if we would be able to have purchased a home without his assistance. We highly recommend working with Scott!!! Thank you so much, Scott and the Ito Orio group!

We had interviewed…read moreseveral realtors in the West LA area to help sell our family home while we were quite a distance away. At our initial meeting we could tell that Ray was a straight shooter, insanely knowledgeable on all things real estate with deep expertise regarding the Westside and how to achieve the ideal outcome beyond all expectations. We put our trust in Ray, followed his guidance every step of the way and WOW the results were exceptional ! Ray made what could have been a very challenging process a simply amazing experience. We needed painting done, yup, he took care of that well below what it would have cost us, needed a plumber, yup he got that too, wait we needed to move all the furniture....OMG he got that done, multiple times saving us countless trips and expense hiring our own professionals....We saved thousands simply by working with Ray AND to top it off his strategy to sell the home was brilliant ( a bit scary but we went with it); resulting in a crazy fast sale, not to mention an ultimate offer and closing price that was approx 200K OVER the asking price. We never expected that but once again Ray delivered so far beyond our expectations. Rays the real deal, no one can top his super service and outstanding results. I never really saw the value of any realtor over several past home sales but holy cow...this was different. If you are searching for a realtor go no further. We highly recommend Ray as the very best you will ever find if you are looking to list or purchase a home. WOOOHOOOOOOO.....so lucky to have had this entire experience with Ray !

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. Si están buscando representación de primer nivel y quieren realmente disfrutar el proceso de compra, no duden en trabajar con 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.

Each had a 6 month exclusive and neither had produced a formal written offer. Within the first week after signing with Maggie's firm, she brought me two. After a month of negotiation I had a signed lease. And when it comes to negotiation, her intuition is spot on. I've read the glowing reviews from her other clients and I have to agree wholeheartedly with every bit of praise and compliment used to described this dynamo. Her professionalism and work ethic is simply amazing. I know I was amazed.

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.

I really didn't know what to expect going into the process but she made it feel easy. A few highlights: RESPONSIVE - She replies almost immediately to every text and email. When it came to closing, she was on top of all parties involved. PROFESSIONAL - There is no BS and no time wasted with Sue.
