I've owned apartment buildings and have worked with many agents and been through many transactions. This sale was of a TIC in a 3 unit building. Brian and his team were really extraordinary. I couldn't be happier. He is well supported and everyone was spot on with their position in facilitating the showings, sale and close. read more

Brian and his team were fantastic to work with. Extremely knowledgeable and responsive helping us navigate the sale of our Santa Monica condo. We got an above asking offer the day we listed and helped us get to a smooth close. 10/10 would recommend read more

We worked with Brian Maser and his team (The Condo Experts), for the sale of our condo in Santa Monica. Our initial meeting with Brian included full comps, an estimated market price range, and a complete market strategy! During what turned out to be a stall in the momentum in the real estate market, we followed Brian's strategy, and sold our house in 14 days. Brian was very attentive to us through the entire process, and guided us through negotiations to close. All in all, a very positive experience! We recommend The Condo Experts highly! read more

Brian and his team are superb. We met Brian while we were viewing houses. We didn't have a listing agent at the time, and he was the seller's agent for a house we were interested in. Brian had such a great vibe that we decided we wanted him to represent us when it came time for us to list our Santa Monica condo. Brian is extremely knowledgeable; he's local to the area and was already familiar with our building. He always comes across as straightforward and friendly; he advocated for our interests without being an overly aggressive, pushy salesperson (which I really appreciate). His team member Jesse handled the actual viewings of our condo, and Jesse was every bit as professional and pleasant to work with. Also, the communication and responsiveness is top-notch. After we closed, we ran into a little bit of a sticky situation during our lease-back and reached out to Brian for his thoughts. Even though his work with us was technically over at that point, he called us back... from a ski lift. He was taking the day off work to have some fun, and still, he called us back. It's a good thing I am not on the Maser team because I would not call a client from the slopes on my day off, and I'd probably get fired. But, you know, that's why you should definitely call on Maser to help sell your property and not me. read more

I have never ever EVER had a more pleasant and professional experience in real estate as I have with Brian Maser and team. Imagine having every single detail related to your transaction impeccably handled by competent-yet-extraordinarily-relatable people. Imagine being able to interact with your realtor in the friendliest manner, feeling totally welcome to ask any question at any time- day or night. And imagine if you had a powerful realty team working in concert, taking care of every need so that you could just relax. I honestly don't know how they provide such a relaxed, relatable, friendly and open experience within the context of razor sharp professionalism and impeccability. There was not a single second where I didn't know exactly what was going on or didn't feel as though someone's hand was firmly on the wheel. They anticipate and handle everything so that you don't have to and calmly and kindly walk you through each stage of the transaction- transforming what can often be a stressful and frustrating experience into a wholly satisfying one. It's hard to imagine a realty company run better than this one. Thank you so much Brian and team. You're the best! read more

Brian was very knowledgeable about the property values in our area and guided us appropriately in getting us a generous offer snd quick sake of our townhome!! I would definitely recommend his expertise in the real estate market.. thank you Brian for an easy process. read more

Brian and his team were incredibly friendly, professional and took the process of my condo sale through to the end in an extremely smooth fashion. Brian paid close attention not just to what I was looking for in the sale, but what my plans were after. He offered very helpful advice. I appreciated working with everyone I came into contact with on his team. Everyone was efficient and together. read more

Brian Maser and his team at The Condo Experts are a well-oiled machine -- they managed every aspect of the selling process from the minute the sales contract was signed right on through to close of escrow. We initially had some concerns putting the condo on the market (upcoming assessment for building repairs, building being a typical older Santa Monica structure) -- not a problem for Brian and his team. They suggested some minor additional renovations (unit had been mostly renovated with a few exceptions), provided and managed the contractor's services, took care of the staging -- soup to nuts. Got us an over-asking offer after a little over a week on the market -- done! I highly recommend The Condo Experts for a smooth, successful and financially rewarding sales process. read more

We recently sold our condo with Brian Maser and his team. They impressed us from the start with their knowledge, insight and enthusiasm. They were true partners all along the way and helped guide us with thoughtful, prudent advice at every turn. Brian and Mike are highly skilled, great communicators and have a great understanding of the market. We couldn't be happier with our experience and would highly recommend! read more

Brian Maser and his team are pros at selling condos. They are warm, communicative, knowledgable. I was selling one that was part of an estate and they came highly recommended. They know what buyers want and can see the potential in every location. I highly recommend that anyone looking to sell follow Brian's advice and put money in to empty, paint/patch and stage your space for potential buyers. You will make that relatively small investment back many times over. The estate I represented went for hundreds of thousands over asking. Highly recommend! read more

We recently sold a condo in Brentwood Ca. thru Maser Condo Sales. agent MIKE PINE. When I first met Mike thought very professional, and knowledgeable. Nicest person you would want selling for you.​ Told us everything we should know, what to expect. He handled the logistics of workers in the condo (painters, flooring, carpet layers). He was there for the ​delivery of some appliances. He even negotiated a better price for us after a bid was made. We tried selling over the holidays and he was there for us, we called he would get back to us as soon as possible. read more

I knew that when the time came to sell, I would call Brian Maser. I have seen his results for decades in my neighborhood and I am so glad I did call him. I saw Brian's method of not just staging property to make it look better but actually doing some renovation to make it BE better. I spent some money but made it back and then some. His whole team is tops! From the first interaction they took the proverbial ball and ran with it and when any issue came up, which it invariably will with such a big transaction with many moving parts, they dealt with it with professionalism and experience that made my life so much easier. I repeatedly told him how glad I was to have his team as my first line of defense handling everything so that I never had a sense of being overwhelmed. Not only this but his data driven understanding of the local market and what will get the greatest net results in the end made this easy. I never thought it could be so fast or get such great results. We literally (I know people hate this word but truly!) made the listing live and closed escrow 3 weeks later. I almost couldn't believe it could be true but it is. This was better than any result I could have hoped for and we got the price I wanted read more

One word to describe the biggest difference you will find working with Mike Pines: CHARACTER. First time speaking with him you will be confident in his experience and skills at selling homes (along with his strong track record if you research his sales in the area) but also how genuinely good of a person he is - that isn't his pitch, that is his true character you will see throughout the process. Mike had a solid plan from the beginning and executed it perfectly to get the money we wanted for our condo. Even when hiccups arose (things are just unavoidable sometimes) Mike was there to reassure us that he had a plan and he personally made everything work out. Unlike other agents I had worked with in the past, Mike really is the person who does all of the showings (instead of others who get you to sign their contract then pass your listing off to a newbie) and trust me, he is very impressive at his showing style. Having dealt with many agents in my past (both buying and selling) I can honestly say Mike is above and beyond the rest and someone you can trust whether you are buying or selling! read more

Ted and especially Mike are the go-to's when searching for a rental in the area! Recently moving here, I was on westsiderentals and craigslist like it was a full time job to try and beat out the competition for a place to live at a reasonable price. After reaching out on a listing (through a craigslist link I believe) and finding out it had already been rented, I asked to please notify me if anything similar came through their hands to please let me know. Within two days Ted had reached out with multiple new listings and had set up a map of the area searching their database for 3 bed, 3 bath, in my price range. After everything being turned over to Mike, I was working with him to look at an apartment that he had very little association with. That being said, he still maintained to make sure all was going smoothly, offered help in any situation possible, and saw me through the process the entire way. With the rental market being as competitive it is in this area, I will be SURE to recommend both Ted and Mike to help with the process. 6/5 Went above and beyond and Mike was extremely generous with his time. read more

Brian Maser and his team did a stellar job of making the sale process understandable, exciting and seamless. Brian is an incredible expert in the real estate market in the area, and we enjoyed working with him. He was creative, savvy, responsive, and strategic throughout the sale process - he far surpassed our expectations. We highly recommend Brian Maser and his team! read more

Michael Bobadilla at Maser Condo Sales is a great, caring, terrific individual. I was referred to him by a friend. From our first meeting he has been there, answering all our questions, meeting with us, and supporting our request for viewings. His is very professional and his caring way of working with us was a great experience/pleasure... I would highly recommend him for any of your realty needs read more

Mike Pines was our most excellent realtor who engineered the successful sale of our Brentwood condo from renovations to showings to finding a qualified tenant through crossing the escrow finish line. Being an out of state owner, it was a blessing and a relief to find a trustworthy outfit that facilitated the process. Mike exudes positive energy and professionalism and a "can do" spirit. His connections to tradesmen who renovated the unit allowed us to live out of California and get to our goal. Our calls were returned promptly and the next step in achieving a sale was always clearly explained. The Maser team and agent Mike Pines deliver competent and honest service if you are looking for real estate services on the Westside of LA. BJ Allgood , Prescott Arizona read more

We highly recommend Mike for your home purchase, he will not let you down! read more

There are a lot of realtors to choose from but not many great realtors can be found. I think buying a home is stressful for many people so it's amazing to have a realtor who is calm, knows the market and is generally someone you would want to be hanging out with. The Maser Team are all highly knowledgable about their particular areas on the Westside. So many calls and emails and looking at many, many houses later, You will be glad the Maser Condo team was on your side. Yes, they sell houses too! read more

I love working with the Maser Condo Sales team! We've been in business with Brian Maser since he was the top producing agent for Abbott Kinney Real Estate. The Maser team is incredibly knowledgeable of real estate on the Westside (Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey, Brentwood, and Playa Vista), and the vibe of everyone in the office is so warm and welcoming you forget you're there to do business. 10/10. read more

We had our condo listed with another agent and could not ever get a single offer! We cancelled our contract with her and listed with Brian Maser. We couldn't have been happier with our decision. We received a excellent offer well above the selling price the day after Brian Maser listed our condo. We agreed and signed the offer selling our condo within 30 days. I would recommend Brian to anyone needing to sell their condo on the westside. The Maser group is superior to any other agency in the area. read more

Brian has the skill, passion and commitment necessary to achieve a successful transaction. He and his team are stellar. They recently sold my townhouse, and from start to finish, they focused on achieving the goals I needed met. And throughout, the communications were top-notch, which was critical as I was traveling a lot and didn't live in the area. Brian really knows the dynamics of Santa Monica/west side real estate. Give him a call - you won't be disappointed. read more

I first met Brian in mid-August, 2013. Our initial appointment went really well and after interviewing two Realtors before him, knew straight away that he was the right one for the listing. He stood out from the rest because instead of telling me what he could do, he asked me what my ideal selling situation would be and what my goals in selling the property were. I had a tenant in my Unit and was yet to have the freedom to furnish my deed. Brian waited patiently and worked with what he had until we were finally able to sign the listing agreement 6 weeks later! My Condo was officially listed for just two days and he had an offer that came in much higher than what I had anticipated selling the unit for. Not only that, but it was a cash offer, and the Buyer was willing to work with a three week escrow because he was able to work his magic and get them excited enough to move quicker through the process. Not only that, but he worked it out so that my Tenant could stay through the end of his lease (three months from now). Brian worked with my Tenant directly and walked through the process so brilliantly that my Tenant was a charm to work with throughout the process. My Condo just closed escrow yesterday and I'm happy to say that for something that could be so incredibly stressful, Brian made it easy and if nothing else, fun! Thank you, Brian, for your professionalism, expertise, integrity, hard-work, and genuine nature. I will be referring you to many friends! Jen Cockrell Santa Monica read more

The Man, the Myth, the Legend... Brian Maser. What can I say, he and his team (shout out to Chris Roberts) were on point from the get go. We were of course uneducated first time home buyers and he made the process absolutely magical. We found EXACTLY what we were looking for and couldn't be happier. I implore you, whether you're a buyer or a seller you want Brian Maser and Maser Condo Sales representing you. The man's a Saint... We'd have him move in if we could. read more

I am one of the title representatives on the Maser Condo Team. Brian takes his time in finding the right candidate for each city that he represents. I have had the experience of working with Mike Pines in Brentwood. Mike does his due diligence with his client's prior to opening up a new escrow which has made the process much easier to prepare and close. My company has only had good experiences with the Maser Condo Company and hope to handle more of their transactions! read more

These guys are the BEST! Brian and his team are not only experts in the real estate market, but experts in the process as well. From start to finish, Brian, Mike and the rest of the gang made it very easy for us to sell our home. They are very low key and easy to talk to. They explain everything from start to finish. There is nothing that is vague or left to be questioned. What really stood out to us was that they are extra kind and respectful of time and space. We have a two year old, so navigating between open houses, meetings, and a busy schedule isn't an easy task. However, they seemed to make it seamless. As for the sale of our condo, that was even smoother. With their proven system, we agreed to list our home at what they felt would get us the most money. It turned out that our condo sold after only 5 days on the market!!! We ended up getting $76,000 over asking and our condo was the highest sale in our building's history. We had a difficult buyer that was extremely demanding, yet they took our opinions on every aspect into consideration and were very attentive to our concerns. Brian and Mike took care of all the negotiations and were there for us whenever we needed someone to show the house. We really just put it all in their hands and they took care of everything. Truly a great company, and even greater people. If you are thinking about selling your home, you must use Maser Condo Sales, or at the very least, meet with them to discuss your goals. Buying/selling a home is one of the biggest decisions you make. You need to choose someone not only that you can trust, but also someone that will help you gain the most out of your investment. This was the best financial decision we have made. Brian and his team changed our lives. read more

As with all the other prior reviewers, I cannot recommend Brian Maser highly enough. I've never authored a Yelp review before, but Brian's hard work and excellent service compelled me to make it happen....When I was looking to sell my Santa Monica condo, a friend suggested I contact Brian - he had sold her condo in a relatively tough market, and she'd been very happy with the outcome. Brian earned my confidence very quickly. As someone else noted, he's an expert not just in the market but also in the process. He gave me excellent advice at every turn, from working with my tenant to prepping the space to managing multiple offers. My condo came with a couple challenges for lenders, and Brian was able to guide buyers and their agents through the hoops so that we ended up with multiple viable offers and ultimately closed on one this past August that set the record for sales in the condo complex. My condo was far from the highest priced unit in his listings (in fact, may have been the lowest), but with all the energy and attention he put into my listing, you would've thought it was his biggest sale. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and if I ever have need for a realtor in Santa Monica again, I will absolutely be calling Brian. Thank you, Brian! read more
