I couldn't be his client because I was looking for a leasing agent and his firm doesn't provide the service. Regardless, he took so much time and care to educate me on the LA market and helping guide me in a meaningful way. If I am ever in need of the Realty services he offers, I will immediately contact him. My future self will be thankful to him for getting to save the time on searching.

Sue was the right choice. As a young couple looking to buy our first home, much less in the…read moreextremely competitive Pacific Palisades market, we really didn't know where to start. From our first consultation, Sue really listened to what we were looking for, respected our price range, and provided seasoned advice that lead us to make our own educated decisions and not get too caught up in the emotion of home buying. 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. RESPECTED - When we would share who we were working with at open houses, all the listing agents knew Sue and based on their reactions, respected her as well. Her strong network helped us on multiple accounts. PERSISTENT - Sue fought for us. We would have never ended up getting the dream home we did without her persistence.

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.

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.

Even though we've been through the home-buying process before, this transaction threw some serious curveballs our way. We were dealing with a massive headache and constant delays with the underwriter that threatened to stall the whole deal. On top of that, Anita managed to successfully negotiate certain contingencies for us--which is incredibly rare and difficult to pull off in this specific market. Every time an obstacle popped up, she was already on top of it, protecting our interests and pushing the process forward. Anita is sharp, highly proactive, and exactly the kind of advocate you want in your corner when a deal gets complicated. If you want a realtor who actually delivers and knows how to navigate a tough market, go with Anita.

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.

I'm not one to pass our recommendations easily, but Maggie recently helped my family relocate to…read morethe Los Angeles area, and I can't recommend her enough. 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.

Like a lot of people, the idea of selling a home and buying a new one felt overwhelming to me…read more Augustine and Amy Um delivered exceptional results at every turn and kept everything running smoothly and efficiently throughout. When it came time to sell my condo, they knew exactly what needed to be done. Augustine identified smart, cost-effective cosmetic improvements and staged it in a way that made it stand out among several other units for sale nearby. His eye for detail and deep knowledge of what buyers are looking for made an immediate difference. When challenges came up with negotiations with the buyer and dealing with my HOA, they handled everything quietly and efficiently. I barely had to think about it. Finding my new home was just as seamless. I described what I was looking for, and they delivered. Augustine moved with a precision and efficiency that I didn't know was possible in this process. Nothing dragged, nothing was left to chance. Their reviews spoke for themselves and lived up to every word. I always felt informed, never overwhelmed, and completely taken care of. The fact that we sold my condo and found my dream house within six months says everything about the level they operate at. Augustine and Amy are first class. If you want someone who knows this space inside and out and treats every client like a priority, they are the ones to call.

Moving has often been cited as one of the most stressful life events, but I can honestly say that…read moreour transpacific move was relatively stress-free thanks in part to Amy and Augustine Um. With the recent sale of our home, we have now had the true pleasure of working with Amy and Augustine twice and highly recommend them for all your real estate needs. We could not have asked for better stewards of our home once we had moved out of state: they oversaw repairs, staging, and other aspects of the selling process as if our home were theirs, providing regular updates via e-mail and text to show our home's transformation. (And, importantly, they stayed within our budget while accomplishing these things!) Whenever they detected a hint of anxiety or doubt in our correspondence, they were always willing to jump on the phone to assuage our concerns--whether they were in the midst of celebrating a holiday with their family or in between showings with other clients. As they often remarked, "Let us worry about it for you; that's our job." We sincerely appreciated the care and empathy that Amy and Augustine brought to every interaction with us. That's what makes Amy and Augustine so special: although the home-buying and -selling processes are fundamentally predicated on financial matters, Amy and Augustine understand how emotional the experience is and can be. Despite the shifting economic and political landscape of LA over the past year, Amy and Augustine succeeded in securing a sale price that exceeded our initial expectations and that nicely aligned with their comparative market analysis. Whereas other houses in the neighborhood languished well beyond the average days on market and/or suffered multiple price reductions, Amy and Augustine delivered on their promise of selling our home without major compromises or concessions. It's clear to us that their acumen, knowledge, and expertise made possible what we thought would be improbable in turbulent times. Working with Amy and Augustine to sell our house reconfirmed what we already knew to be true: they are a dynamic duo, a real estate force to be reckoned with.

We…read moreknew this was the right decision after our first meeting where she made us feel welcome during the start of our first home buying experience. Kate spent extra time talking things through and could not have been more accommodating. We used Kate's mobile app during the home search and would routinely mark homes as Favorites, plus add Notes with questions. Kate and her amazing assistant Ashley would respond very quickly, providing comps and asking if we would like to be accompanied on an open house. When it was time to put in an offer on a home, Kate and her team went into overdrive. Kate was all over the process with her quick and informative responses. She orchestrated the entire process seamlessly, working closely with us, the loan officer, seller agent and other third parties. From scheduling all of our inspections, to negotiating with the seller, and finally to picking up our keys! We never felt pressured but always felt supported throughout the entire process.
