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.

I couldn't be happier with my home-buying experience with Sitah Mahadeo from Compass | The…read moreStephanie Younger Group. 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.

Atheneeeee, Athene Farmas!…read more Look fellow yelpers... I wasn't ready to buy a house. I was just casually looking and somehow signed up to receive a call from a realtor. An unfamiliar number calls and instant regret, "I shouldn't have filled that form out" I think, "I'll just screen my calls like Destiny's Child." I never answer unfamiliar numbers, but for some reason I answered this call and I am so glad I did. Athene was on the other side of the call and she was so calming. I felt at ease. She asked me a few questions regarding we were at in our process and asked if my husband and I would be wiling to come in so she can walk us through how it all works etc... Now look again fellow yelpers, I lived in Burbank and she was in Santa Monica of all places. I DON'T CROSS the 405 for ANYONE. But for some reason, I felt like we should go. So we schlepped ourselves all the way over there on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and met wonderful Athene. We told her we were interested in Culver City condos. She walked us through the process, started sending us properties, went to some showings with us. AND THEN I threw her for a fast one. I told her we wanted to move to South LA. For what we could get a condo for in Culver City, we could get a whole house near DTLA, YES PLS. I found a dream listing and Athene was on the case. I mean, I literally texted my mom, my husband and Athene, saying "this is my dream house". My heart was racing. It was in our price range, it checked all the boxes and it had an open house soon. Athene made sure to have us check out other homes in the area, which I am thankful for so we could best gauge our offer and what we were willing to negotiate. She was there EVERY step of the process. Always respectful of time. We texted, emailed, spoke on the phone whenever we could. I obviously did not know a lot of what the process looked like and she never made me feel dumb. We got our dream house, we closed in 21 days and we are so happy. Don't know what this buyer's remorse people talk about is? She also had really great recommendations for inspectors, contractors, lenders etc... And she stayed with me through the end, well after her job was done. We are so so happy Athene found us and we couldn't recommend her more!

He politely said he wanted a day to come back with what he thought. he did come back with quite a few suggestions of best ways to sell our unique home. we hired him on the spot. from that point on we had a very clear path of communication. open and honest. he was always punctual, happy, and positive! if you are looking for the best in the business, create properties is your only answer!!

would be extremely cautious hiring Stace Valnes to manage work on an occupied rental property…read more We are tenants of our home for eight years. During that entire time, we paid rent on time every month, maintained the property as if it were our own, even handled minor repairs ourselves, and never caused any issues. Unfortunately, our experience with Stace during a renovation project was the complete opposite of what we expected. On two separate occasions, contractors working under his direction entered our home without the legally required notice or our permission. As tenants, that was an unacceptable violation of our privacy and our living space. The project itself took significantly longer than anticipated, and communication was consistently poor. We were given little to no information about timelines or when areas of the property that had become unusable would be restored. The most frustrating incident occurred when my $700 jogging stroller and my husband's specialized engineering tools disappeared. The contractors had moved them from the side of our home to the neighboring property while they painted. We later learned from the contractors that Stace instructed them to throw everything away because he believed it was "trash." Those items were our personal property, and it was never his decision to make. When confronted, he showed no accountability, offered no meaningful apology, and made little to replace what was lost. Throughout the process, I found Stace to be evasive, condescending, and dismissive of legitimate concerns. I gave him multiple opportunities to acknowledge what happened and make it right, but he chose not to. The situation ultimately became serious enough that I filed a complaint with the City Attorney regarding his handling of an occupied tenancy. If you own rental property with tenants in place, I would strongly recommend asking detailed questions about how occupied renovations will be managed before hiring him. Respectful, law-abiding communication with tenants is essential, and based on our experience, that standard was not met.

She always maintained the highest level of professionalism and was very attentive to all our needs.
