Larry Birnbaum is a real estate beast! He is very patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. He took the time to understand what I was looking for in a home and showed me properties that fit my criteria. He never pushed me to buy something that wasn't right for me. This was my first time purchasing a home, and I had a vast number of questions. I could always count on Larry to answer all my questions and help me with whatever I needed. He was always quick to reply to my messages which was really helpful and reassuring for me! Larry's always up front and doesn't beat around the bush. He goes above and beyond and always has your back. Very trustworthy and reliable in my book! Larry is a total motivator and an inspiration.

Larry set the bar very high for all realtors! - He previously helped us to purchase our dream home and he made a stressful process of buying a home breeze, so we asked him to help us sell our home. We are so thankful to have him on board again! He never stopped working for us and was always willing to go above and beyond. He not only knows the real estate, but is an incredible communicator, answered every email regardless early morning or late night which made our minds at ease. There is such a real and genuine care from Larry through every step of the process. We were able to sell our home more than asking price and close on time. Thank you Larry for helping us find and sell our home! read more

Larry was recommended to us by our financial adviser. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment we first met him to the day we completed Escrow we found him to be personable, punctual, communicative and reliable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He recommended someone to stage the property and he helped us get top dollar for the property we were selling. To complicate things we moved to another state shortly after meeting him. He managed the day to day running of the property we were selling and made sure the plants were watered, trash was collected and gardener mowed the lawns. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nothing seemed to much trouble. Larry turned something that could have been very stressful into something that was stress free.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My wife and I had been looking for a home more than two years using a broker I knew from High School. After losing a house where our offer had been accepted in writing, I knew it was a time for a change. Larry was referred to us by our financial advisor at Morgan Stanley. What a difference. In less than 3 three months Larry found us our forever home. Larry has been at our side from the initial walk thru to the closing of escrow. He was always available and continues to call and check up on us. The best recommendation I can give is that I would use him again and would recommend him without hesitation. His honesty and professionalism are rare commodities these days. read more

Husband and I are type A and weren't comfortable just taking a friend recommendation for a real estate agent. Not only is it a huge life decision, we were purchasing during market insanity (early 2021). We interviewed 6 different agents and ended up choosing Larry and are so glad we did! What we loved before: - Super responsive via phone, text, and email - Took time to explain the process - Great vibe and well spoken - we thought this was really important as he - would be representing us during this large transaction - Was willing to answer any/all questions no matter how small - super patient During/after the process: - No pressure - if there was a reason we weren't interested in the place we were touring, Larry was cool with it - Had insight into renovation/remodeling to help us gauge rough costs as we were touring homes - Still super responsive via phone, text, and email - Knew the history of Costa Mesa and the area we were looking in - Pro-active about sending us potential listings and booking tours - Was willing to deal with first time home buyer EMOTIONS (so stressful!!) - We threw a curveball of switching up our lender last minute and he was willing to work with this out of state lender to help us close on time - During the closing process, he consistently sent us reminders and details we needed to ensure we could close on time - Hooked us up with a bunch of great vendors - During COVID 2021 HOME BUYING we were able to close the second bid we put in :O TLDR: Highly recommend - super organized, responsive, and we had an incredible experience! read more

Could not have had a better experience with Larry over 9 years! We are out of state and he went over and above for a few tenant rentals for us, which is how we started. Most importantly, when we decided to sell in March 2021, he far exceeded our expectations! He arranged for an amazing stager and coordinated everything with white glove service. In 3 days we had 13 offers, all well above ask. He checked in every day with updates, was ethical, and real. He was an absolute pleasure to work with over 9 years, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone in the area! read more

LMB is the best. Larry spent more than three years helping us find a vacation home knowing we were not in a rush and looking for the perfect place. He really helped us be efficient by creating great search criteria on his website, then honing in on the exact style homes with the right price point. This allowed to see new listings on a daily basis, In addition, Larry would regularly make inquiries about properties we had questions on and was always happy to do it. Once we found the right home, Larry made the entire purchase process absolutely seamless. He was in constant communication with us every step of the way until the home was ours. Larry is extremely personable and made the entire process fun and enjoyable. We highly recommend Larry and LMB Enterprises for buying or selling your home. You will not be disappointed. read more

We are in our 70's and worked with many brokers through our lives. We can't praise enough Larry Birnbaum and partner for an incredible experience. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable, professional but get the job done with ease. Larry sold our house in one day, over asking price, all cash and a 15 day escrow. read more

We found Larry after doing research for a high rated real estate agent in OC. Larry was great at communication from the very first encounter. He showed us properties over several weeks and helped us place offers on two homes. He was friendly, professional, timely in his correspondence and always came prepared. Throughout escrow some challenges arose that certainly tested all of us but he stayed on top of everything and ultimately we closed on our dream home. Would definitely recommend Larry to anyone looking for a property! read more

I can't say enough good things about Larry. I had a specific area I wanted to buy in with very specific guidelines. Larry sold my house very fast and found me exactly what I wanted. He managed to close escrow on the sale of my house & the purchase of my new condo on the same day. Larry is always available to answer your questions. He gets back to you in less than 5 minutes. He also keeps in touch everyday with how the sale is going & follows up with you after showings with feedback. Larry had a positive attitude when I didn't. I would highly recommend Larry. Larry gets an A++ from me. read more

We couldn't have asked for a better experience or a better agent! We reached out to Larry directly on one of his home listings, as we were interested in purchasing the home. He was super quick in his response and very professional. He showed us the home, we loved it, and he took it from there. The whole experience was smoother, quicker and easier than we expected. Larry kept us up to date on the entire process, he explained every step of the way, and kept the escrow process moving. His responsiveness was by far the best, not to mention he was very friendly and professional the entire time. We are extremely happy with our home-buying experience and we'd be amiss if we didn't give Larry the credit. We will recommend him every single time we have the chance! read more

It has been a pleasure working with Larry! He eased our stress of selling our home tremendously. He lights up any room, and there is no one that can match his knowledge and work ethic when it comes to buying or selling your home. He genuinely loves what he does and it shows! We are forever grateful that we chose Larry to represent us as sellers! read more

My Husband and I recently bought a home in Altair neighborhood in Irvine and we couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent than Larry. Larry was highly recommended to us by our daughter and son-in-law, who recently bought their first home with Larry's help, and we are so glad we chose him. This is our 5th home buying experience over the course of 36 years, and we are really pleased with the smooth, hassle free, and pleasant experience we had from the beginning to the end with Larry as our agent. Larry is very organized, punctual, and always one step ahead in thinking through every detail. He understood our needs, worked with our schedule, very efficient in organizing and showing the homes- he also is very attentive in listening to our needs and was instrumental in acting quickly at the right time to get us the home we wanted. We looked at this home, initially and liked it - but to our disappointment, it went into escrow the day we saw it. But fortunately, it came back on the market after three weeks. As soon as it came back on the market, Larry was quick to help us make an offer as appealing as possible which eventually helped us secure this home which we love. We like Larry as an agent so much we are using him again to sell our current home in Irvine. We will highly recommend Larry and his team to anyone. read more

Thank you Larry for making the sale of our home a remarkably smooth and efficient process. You made it a peaceful and comforting sale finding the perfect family to enjoy our home as we did. read more

Larry was a pleasure to work with and he made the selling process of our home less stressful because of his knowledge and expertise in the industry. If you want to reduce the stress of selling a home as much as you can I recommend you use Larry. He has an infectious personality that draws people in and in selling a home that is important in my opinion. read more

After our friend referred us to Larry, my wife and I quickly learned that he was very knowledgeable about the [crazy] market, honest, responsive, and committed. Larry knew how fast the market was moving, and knew what kinds of offers were the most attractive. Of course, cash is king, but when your proposed amount is in the ballpark, there are other details that a seller appreciates. Larry was very knowledgable about both the ballpark and these other factors, and made sure our offers were always competitive. At the same time, he made sure that we never gave up the non-negotiables. When asked, Larry always gave his predictions, estimates, and thoughts regarding every house we visited. At the same time, he never pressured us. This really helped us make informed decisions without feeling any urgency (in a market marked by urgency). Also, Larry was responsive to each and every email/text that we sent him. Every question, concern, comment we had was met with a quick -- and detailed -- reply. We found this to be his most impressive trait. Lastly, Larry stuck with us even as our target areas changed, and even when finding a home seemed impossible. We looked at multiple areas and multiple houses -- sometimes on a moment's notice -- and Larry was able to accommodate. All in all, Larry was a complete professional, and we would recommend him in a heartbeat. read more

Larry and Heidi were such an awesome team and made our experience very easy. They were extremely easy to work with, answered all of our questions, were very accommodating to our schedule ....oh and did I mention they sold our condo over asking price and got us 3 offers in 3 days!?!? They were also great about scheduling us to go and see homes that we wanted to buy. Thanks again and I'd recommend them to anyone! read more

Larry and his team know their stuff and are on it. My experience was very professional and timely. I know he's very busy, but he makes you feel like you're his only client. Example: He booked us 5 viewing appointments 3 days out. He had listings available to him that were well within my means and they were listings I would never be able to see if I searched on redfin or Zillow. Once my offer was accepted he referred me to a loan officer and he was very thorough and efficient as well. I plan on living in my new place for at least 5-7 years. Afterward i will seek a new property. If that new property happens to be in Southern California I will not hesitate to hire Larry as I know I'll get the best value out of my time. read more

Larry just helped us purchase our first home and I know for a fact that it would not have happened if we had any other agent. Larry represented and helped advise us through incredibly challenging market conditions and nevertheless got us across the finish line to our dream home. He truly acted as a zealous advocate for us in our journey, really understanding our goals and doing everything in his power to make them a reality. His outstanding professionalism, responsiveness, and expertise in the real estate market cannot be understated. We quickly learned after several offers that his advice was spot on, predicting sales prices to within a few thousand dollars. He had extraordinary patience both with us as clients and other agents and we strongly believe it was a factor that tipped the scales towards getting us the home we wanted as he is such a pleasure to work with. My wife and I both worked with many real estate and legal professionals in our careers and have no doubt that he is THE agent to use, either as a buyer or a seller. If you are looking to buy or sell your home, USE LARRY AND TAKE HIS ADVICE! You will not be disappointed. read more

Larry is absolutely amazing! His knowledge of the Orange County real estate market is so spot on. He has so much information on all the local markets and knows how to get you what you're asking for. Larry's personal touch and genuine interest for his clients sets him apart from other agents. If you're going to buy, call Larry; you won't be disappointed! read more

Larry did a great job selling our condo, and we couldn't be more pleased. We have known Larry for a while, but this was the first chance we had to use him as our agent. We couldn't have made a better decision. Well before listing with Larry, he was always one of our go-to real estate experts for questions about the market, rentals, etc. He always had great and knowledgeable responses. He was also always happy to help, even when there wasn't necessarily a commission in it. Beyond that, Larry is an optimistic and happy guy, which makes dealing with him easy and nice. He also has integrity. I knew Larry would give me the right answer to my questions and guide us in the right direction, even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. From the moment we listed with Larry, he was great. He was also very hands on. We had tenants in the condo before we sold it, and Larry was quick to get down to the condo before they even moved out to help us make decisions about repairs, upgrades, etc. His advice was spot on. We took each piece of advice and followed it. By the time we had finished, the place looked amazing (we were a little upset we had to sell it). We got every penny we invested in fixing the place up and probably a bunch more in terms of return on investment. He also gave good advice on items that weren't worth the money in terms of fixing, which again proved to be good advice. In less that 24 hours, we had 4 offers. All of them were for at least full asking price, and some offered more than asking price. In the next 24 hours, another 3 offers came in, again all at or above asking. By comparison, there was a comp in the neighborhood listed for less than our condo that had been on the market for a while without selling. Ultimately, Larry helped us picking the right buyer, giving great advice about the strengths and weaknesses of each offer, and we sold the condo for well over the listing price. The process was smooth and easy even though we were on vacation at the start of escrow. Larry helped to simplify everything and worked efficiently, so we didn't spend a ton of vacation time dealing with real estate issues. Just one more thought before concluding. Our condo was substantially outside of Larry's primary territory. That didn't stop Larry from devoting all of his available resources to making sure we got the best deal possible even though it meant more work for him. He also put in his time and effort up front. He learned the market in our area before we listed so we were ready to go with a very competitive listing. From the moment we listed to closing was about two weeks. We got over asking price, and we got a deal that really didn't have any hassles. Larry was stellar. If you are buying and/or selling real estate, call Larry. We highly recommend him. read more

Larry was an incredible agent to work with! He always puts his client's needs first. Not only does he have great experience and knowledge of real estate, he is patient and a great listener. Like most couples, my husband and I had different lists of non-negotiables and priorities and Larry really understood and took the time to learn what we were really looking for. He worked tirelessly to find us our dream home and had a delicate way of keeping us in check and on track. He is super organized and detail-oriented, which is so important for an agent, especially during a hot market and pandemic when things were moving and changing so quickly. Additionally, Larry has a positive attitude and is high energy which made the difficult process of buying a home really fun. Can't recommend Larry Birnbaum enough! read more

Larry is one of the most dedicated, committed, and personable real estate agents I've ever dealt with. With vast experience in all types of real estate transactions, investment acquisition, property management, and mortgage financing, Larry can speak to all aspects of a transaction with seasoned expertise. After a few minutes with Larry his clients get the confidence that he has an incredible command of the real estate business and can confidently lead through all aspects of the process. One of the most unique things about Larry is an authentic blend of genuine warmth, sincerity, and integrity, blended with a talent for aggressively negotiating on his client's behalf. He's committed and thoughtful about how the negotiation impacts all parties and presents his client's position in a manner that earns favor with the corresponding parties to help transactions come together. Anyone who needs reliable and expert advice in a low-pressure, high integrity relationship will enjoy sitting down with Larry to share their goals and see how he can help. My experience has been that he'll deliver above expectations every single time. read more

My wife and I were in the market to buy our first home and had no idea where to start so we searched on Yelp! and came across Larry's name. All the reviews said how responsive, professional and helpful he is. We called and within the first few minutes of talking on the phone we knew he could lead us through the whole process. Right off the bat, we were impressed by how attentive and smart Larry is. He'll answer as many questions as you have (we had plenty) and never makes you feel overwhelmed with being a first-time home buyer. We greatly appreciated his honesty; he told us his honest thoughts on each home and the different neighborhoods we were looking at. He also worked well with our lender and the other agents. Larry walked us through everything, was extremely attentive, and knew that there was going to be a lot of competition in the city we wanted to live in so he helped us make our offer as appealing as possible. With a little bit of luck and a lot of Larry's guidance/expertise, we got a house we love! Larry is seriously awesome, hands down. You won't find a better agent! :) read more

We cannot say enough good things about LMB Enterprises! Larry ROCKS!! Not only did he keep us informed step by step, but he never made us feel like we were asking too many questions, or that we were asking dumb questions, or bugging him. This was a first time buyer experience for us and to say the least, he made the whole process feel seamless! We cannot say enough good things about his complete professionalism and down to earth demeanor! He makes you feel like a old friend immediately and it's nice to know you have someone on your side and not out to make a quick buck off of you. He really cares and it shows! I would recommend Larry and LMB Enterprises to anyone! If you are looking to buy a home, don't pass up the opportunity to be professionally represented by Larry and LMB Enterprises....you won't be disappointed! read more

Larry is one of those people that you meet to find you a house... and you end up with a friendship. You might think that is a bit corny, but we were actually referred to Larry by some friends and they would tell you the same thing. Larry will not push you out of your comfort zone, but he will push you in the right direction so that you get closer to buying your home when the time is right. I believe that is right up there with tight rope walking, but it is how a true real estate agent should be. We were looking for a while by ourselves, and even with a few other agents, and were just not getting anywhere. Larry showed up houses for about 3 or 4 months, each time we met up we felt we were that much closer to finding our dream home. We even put in offers, got very close to opening escrow and then got cold feet. Larry was supportive no matter what. In fact, we've closed escrow on our home over 2 weeks ago, and Larry is still reaching out to us to see how we are doing and ask if there is anything else we needed. I've had the liberty to deal with dozens of agents in my line of work, and I can say with full confidence that Larry is in the top 3. He is just a guy who enjoys his work and always puts in 110%. Thanks Larry! read more

My wife and I just purchased our first house and our experience with Larry was fantastic! He knows Costa Mesa better than anyone I've seen and was not at all pushy. For me, the best part about Larry is his work ethic; the lengths he will go to make sure we were happy and any transactional snags got worked out were beyond impressive. Oh yea, and my wife likes to ask tons of questions and Larry happily answered them all =). Thanks for the great experience, Larry, and for genuinely caring about your clients--it shows. -Brandon read more

My name is Jeff M and I own a Design business in Los Angeles. As a business owner I am continuously measuring service and results! In both cases...it just does not get better than the service that Larry Birnbaum provides! He recently helped us develop our real estate game plan for 2013 for a complicated series of personal and business moves we had to accomplish on a very short time-line. He found us the right property for the short term (in just a couple of days)...closed the deal on that property..."cued up"a great relationship with a mortgage broker and we have the right game plan developing for finding the right permanent place to live! If you want to get results....phone calls returned...(promptly)....and have a utterly enjoyable experience from a quality guy and very, very capable real estate professional...I don't think you could do any better than Larry! read more

Larry was referred to us by a close friend and boy was it the best decision we ever made. He helped us sell our rental property. There wasn't a single time he ever needed us to do anything except sign the requisite forms. Larry even offered to remove a tv we had mounted to the wall and took down a screen door. Now, that's turnkey service. We couldn't have picked a better realtor, and are lucky we had him. Thanks Larry! read more

Larry was referred by a friend. He helped us buy our first house. He is outstanding and helped us through the entire process. He is extremely trustworthy and not at all pushy. He understands what you need very well and helped us find the right house at the right price He is very efficient and we couldn't have found a better buyers agent. He not only helped us through the buying process, he also found us extremely reliable home inspector, insurance agent as well and was on top of things with escrow, mortgage etc making sure everyone did things accurately. One other thing we liked is that he uses docusign so signing forms was very smooth and quick. Really efficient. Best buying agent!!! read more
