We feel so lucky to have worked with Samantha as our both buying and selling agent. Thanks to her…read moreexpertise, experience and dedication, we quickly sold our previous home and are now in the home of our dreams. The thought of simultaneously buying and selling can feel daunting, but she walked us through the whole process. I feel like I'd gained a friend on the "inside" who was working for me and truly looking out for my welfare. If you are in the market to buy or sell, I wholeheartedly recommend Samantha.

We first met Samantha when she showed us a house on the market back in the Fall of 2017. We liked…read moreher immediately. From that day forward, whenever we asked her to show us a house she instantly made it happen. Most importantly to us, she always followed up by obtaining and relaying the answers to every question we had on each property. In the spring of 2018, we thought we were finally ready to sell our beloved home and find a new home. She didn't just leave the search up to us. Everyday Samantha sent us listings of properties we might be interested in. She made herself immediately available to show us homes whenever we asked. She always accommodated our schedule. She never rushed us through a showing. And again...she followed through, obtaining all the information we needed on each property. When putting our house on the market, Samantha didn't make any excuses when we didn't like the first pictures taken. She brought in another photographer and got us the most gorgeous photos. She had our house on the market within a week. She and her always available and very knowledgeable assistant Sherri went through the contacts with us with a fine tooth comb. Samantha is exceedingly trustworthy. With kid gloves and endless patience, she and Sherri answered every question we had. In not the strongest sellers market, Samantha had us a full price offer within 3 weeks. Unfortunately, at that time we also had some medical concerns and it proved too much for us to handle both situations at the same time . With deep compassion, Samantha pulled us off the market and released us with kindness. So there was no doubt in our minds who we would call when we really were ready. In the late summer on 2020, Samantha agreed to put us back on the market at the highest possible asking price. She had us listed in less than a week. She refused to put a lockbox on our house and personally showed our home to everyone interested. At the same time, she took us down to the San Diego area every time we wanted to see a house we were interested in. When our house didn't sell immediately, Samantha remained focused on the uniqueness of the property and was determined to be patient and get us the highest price. In under two months she got us exactly what we wanted. She also helped with every difficult aspect of the even more unique property we made an offer on in SD. Samantha is not only well versed in everything real estate related, but she also has a background in mortgage loans and building construction. She has boundless energy. She never forgets anything. She gives you her undivided attention. Even when dealing with us, as very emotional sellers, and an extremely difficult selling agent in San Diego, she never got rattled. She personally troubled-shot every challenge. She often said to us; "I just want everyone to be happy." We knew that was her true motivation when we watched her personally go to great lengths to make sure the buyer of our home was also getting a house completely in order. Samantha didn't represent them and they didn't ask for any extras ... Samantha did everything she did for them out of the goodness of her heart. She loves people. She loves what she does. She's one in a million. We will forever be grateful to have found this wonderful lady who lovingly guided us through one of the most challenging transitions of our lives. No way could we have done it without her. Thank you Samantha. You are a diamond in the "rough" real estate industry!!

Sam the broker owner micro manages every agent there. Tim Mallon has to be the worst broker advisor…read morethat an agent can have. He will get you to spend hundreds a month on unproven real estate gimmicks and companies. One of which went out of business in only a year after he showed me. The brokers are all arrogant and completely wrong with the trends of the real estate market. Twelve years ago they pushed the bogus and untrue notion that the real estate market would crash. Even citing a retiring bank CEO at the time. Such utter & unproven nonsense. I wouldn't trust them with my house. Since leaving this utter and complete mess of a brokerage, I've closed over $3M in sales. You're better off going to C21 Peak in Granada Hills. I'm surprised that they're still in business.

As someone who lives in the neighborhood, we thought Linda was the realtor for us. We felt anyone who would take their time to connect with her neighbors and community would work hard for the business. And we were right. We sold our home in 5 weeks to a difficult buyer. Linda remained the professional she is through the whole process. We can't thank Linda enough for all that she did to close the deal. This was due to her years of experience, a knack for buyer's therapy!!!, and professionalism. She was awesome through the whole process and any one would be remiss if they didn't use her services.

We just closed a deal with Ms. Mack in record time and the whole process couldn't have gone any better! We cannot speak highly enough of Ms. Mack--she is simply outstanding! From our first meeting, Teresa impressed us with her deep knowledge of the real estate market, her professionalism and above all her genuine care for her clients. Teresa took the time to understand exactly what was needed for the sale of our aunt's home and she went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, strategic and successful. She is not just a realtor--she is a trusted advisor, advocate, and problem-solver. Her attention to detail, strong negotiation skills and calm presence made a huge difference at every step. What really sets Teresa apart is her integrity and commitment. She doesn't push for a quick sale--she works tirelessly to get the right results for her clients. Teresa Mack and Pacific Playa Realty is the team you want for the best outcome of your real estate experience. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor or selling your home, we wholeheartedly recommend Teresa Mack. She's the kind of professional you want on your side. And as a bonus, she is just the nicest person ever and such a joy to be around! Thank you, Teresa, for making this experience so positive. You truly deserve more than 5-Stars! Candice & Daryl H.

Honestly, I've no idea what anyone who ranks Ms. Mack below 5 stars is on right now. I feel like…read morethey should maybe get off of what my grandmother would call "the stuff." She's a broker and has also been my buyer's agent since late 2021 and helped me navigate through the crazy-volatile value environment that Inglewood is in right now. I fell in love with the second place we visited, but it was overpriced and not a great deal, but it was within line of site of the stadium so I got sprung. Then the appraisal fell through and--just like a breakup--I was despondent and depressed, walking around like sad Charlie Brown with Peanuts Christmas Special music in the background. YOU know what I mean... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oabcM9SOF-E But she kept me going, kept showing new options, then found one that we closed on for a LOWER price on a BETTER property. She's everything a good broker should be: smart, strategic, aggressive, is plugged into EVERYONE in the space, knows LA like it's tattooed inside of her eyelids (ouch, God: I hope that's not why!), EXTREMELY good at communicating and keeping clients up to date and will feed listings with her POV on whether they're priced appropriately and what to watch out for. I've been investing in real estate for over 20 years, have worked with nearly a dozen realtors in that time (agents and brokers) and she's without peer. Not planning on making a change anytime soon (EVEN if that "inside eyelid tattoo" thing is real...because, I mean: YIKES. Who does that?). She's the broker Gotham deserves AND the one it needs right now. So you'll hire her. Because she can close it. Because she's not weaksauce. She's a professional realtor, a watchful protector. A kick-butt broker. [cribbed from "The Dark Knight," props to Christopher Nolan. Seriously: hire her: you won't regret it!

An "Exceptional" Experience--If You Enjoy Disappointment!…read moreSelling my home with Renee was truly a remarkable experience--if by remarkable, you mean selling for $60K less than the original listing price after nearly six months on the market. Oh, and let's not forget the most hilarious part: my home, which is 600 square feet larger than my neighbor's, sold for just $10K more--except they managed to close in 1.5 months, while mine dragged on for half a year. But hey, their home was cozier, had better upgrades, and was just overall superior, so clearly, it's my home's fault. Now, Renee was fantastic at making the process smooth and staging the home beautifully. She moved fast, which was impressive... until I realized that staging and speed don't mean much if your actual selling strategy is a disaster. Here's where things went downhill: 1. The Staging Fairy Tale Renee was so passionate about staging, comparing it to dating--because, apparently, selling a house is just like putting on makeup and getting your hair done. And yet, after all that effort, staging did absolutely nothing to help my home sell faster or at a better price. Next time, I'll skip the expensive "makeover" and just hire a realtor who doesn't charge double the commission for theatrics. 2. A Pricing Strategy That Was a Masterclass in Excuses I told Renee I wanted to sell quickly. Her brilliant plan? List high, get no offers, and then blame external factors. First, we were overpriced. Then came a long list of excuses--holiday season, LA fires, global warming, the alignment of the stars... you name it. The result? Six painful price cuts and a house sitting vacant for six months. If I had known this was the strategy, I would have just lit $60K on fire and saved myself the stress. 3. Negotiation? What's That? A realtor's job is to advocate for their client. Renee's approach? Pass messages back and forth like an unpaid intern and let me handle the tough decisions. Even after I directly told her I expected her to negotiate on my behalf, she remained clueless and simply relayed whatever the buyer said, placing all the pressure on me. The Contingency Debacle: One offer included a sale contingency. Renee assured me this was a great offer because the buyer was on a tight timeline. When I told her I was uncomfortable with the contingency, she didn't even know we could negotiate the timeframe. Later, she blamed me for not countering--because, apparently, I'm supposed to be the expert here. The Lowball Circus: When a buyer lowballed me, Renee had no guidance on whether I should counter or by how much. She was more eager to close the deal than to fight for my best interest. We finally accepted the offer and made it crystal clear that no additional repairs would be accommodated. And yet--shockingly--the buyer came back with repair requests. Did Renee stand her ground? Nope. She simply relayed the request, wiped her hands clean, and said, "You can totally decline it." Final Verdict If you're looking for someone to stage your home and send messages back and forth while you handle all the hard decisions yourself, Renee is your person! But if you expect a realtor who will actually negotiate, strategize, and fight for your best interest--I'd strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

A Realtor Who Truly Knows Her Craft…read more Selling a home can be stressful, but working with Renee made the process much easier to navigate. From the very beginning, she was well-prepared, professional, and responsive. She has a real talent for presenting a home in the best possible light--her staging and photography made the property stand out online and brought in steady interest. What impressed me most, though, was her ability to keep everything organized and moving. Real estate transactions involve so many moving parts, but she kept communication clear and timely so I never felt left in the dark. Whenever questions came up, she provided thoughtful guidance and practical options, which helped me feel confident in making decisions. While every market has its challenges, Renee always maintained a positive, solutions-oriented mindset. She was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about getting the best outcome possible. At the end of the day, I felt supported throughout the entire process, and I truly appreciated her dedication. I would recommend Renee to anyone who values professionalism, attention to detail, and an agent who treats her clients with respect and care.

We went to an open house in Camarillo (since we would spend any free weekend looking at homes) and met Judy and Ernesto. Judy asked us a few questions about how our home search was going, asked us what it was we were looking for and gave us some really useful information. We got such a great vibe from Judy that we decided the next day we NEEDED her as our realtor. We called Judy on a Monday to let her know we wanted to meet with her and talk about moving forward with her. Come Tuesday, she had 3 houses set up for us to look at. We fell in love with the third house we saw. That same night Judy stayed working late to write up our offer. We got word the next day that our offer was accepted. Through the whole escrow process, Judy kept in contact, updated us regularly on any new information she had and we were so appreciative of that. We our now in our new home and we couldn't have done it without Judy! She is the best at what she does! Thank you Judy and Ernesto and the rest of the Interno team! We truly appreciate you!

She advises you along the way in order to help you make wise decisions.

Throughout the sale, she was wonderful in keeping in touch with us either through email or by phone. We never had to call her with questions because she seemed to anticipate what our needs were and called us right away. We will definitely use Dippy again in the future for any other real estate needs.
