They still came back asking for my actual tax returns and whether my son lives with me full-time, which is illegal according to the Federal Fair Housing Act, specifically 42 U.S.C. § 3604 (Section 804 of the Fair Housing Act) and will be reported for CalDRE and HUD with proofs. This company is what wrong with the housing market and what will cause the next house crisis, they are bullies. I'm 37 years old. In almost 20 years of renting in LA, I've never been asked for tax returns -- not even when I bought a property. This is ridiculous. Extremely rude, invasive, and discriminatory. They're clearly looking for any reason to reject people. Complete waste of time. Stay away.

I will be submitting my notice very soon and moving out. Can't wait to see how many things YOUR team has "fixed" yall try to take out of my security deposit.

Will Tiao and his team stand apart from the competition in LA. They have had years of successes in…read morereal estate sales, management, and development in key parts of LA. It is because of their sterling reputation that my partner and I entrusted Will and his team with our purchase and sale of three different types of residential properties: condominium, single family residence, and multifamily property. From our experiences, here are top three reasons why we recommend Will and his team and would use him again for our next purchase or sale: 1. Will is a great advocate when it comes to negotiating offers and counteroffers and in dealing with other parties. His stunning background in international trade policy and Hollywood comes into play here at the client's advantage. Will helped us strategize and obtain good outcomes on all of our sales and purchases. 2. Will is a great advisor. His strong local knowledge about the neighborhoods and local regulations is founded on his brokering, property management, and development experience in LA. From neighborhood safety, zoning, entitlements, easements, to landlord-tenant matters, we knew we could count on Will and his team to get it right. 3. Will is a great connector and has deep connections in the real estate industry. He is just one speed dial away if you need a solid connection to a handyman, a CPA who advises real estate investors, a real estate attorney, or a home staging specialist. We've consulted with everyone Will has recommended and have been happy with them all. Will and his team have handled all of our matters expeditiously and to our great satisfaction. We wholeheartedly recommend them for any residential matters in LA.

Before this call, I had texted many time about how and where my security deposit will go, and I come to find out that the entirety of it was sent to my roommate who had blocked me on all forms of communication. During this call, I was greeted with annoyance and a tone that didnt seem like he cared about helping a tenant at all. When i asked legitimate question he just repeated the same thing over and over and got louder everytime. Like dude, do your job? On top of this, my lousy landlord Julia has done minimal efforts to make this year of vacancy enjoyable. Missed calls, texts, and emails time and time again, yet the bare minimum is for the employee/landlord/ customer service worker to do their job. I am disgusted that Stern lets their employees run around doing less than the bare minimum while paying them. While im still resolving this issue with no help, I hope Stern does something about this lack of a good team.

I was looking for a loft downtown with 2 bedrooms to replace the large open loft I had. Sure, this…read moresounds easy on the face of it but trust me when I tell you that it's not. Well, at least it's not if you don't want to spend 8 billion dollars! Most lofts downtown don't have separate bedrooms even when they say they do. A 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom is most often just one room with an open den or sleeping nook. I was almost ready to give up my search and to settle into something infinitely less cool than a loft. Yeah, something with low ceilings and paper thin walls. Life would have been miserable. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Then in a last ditch effort, I contacted Gil at 213 to see what he could do. He sent me a few emails full of listings that might fit. He knew which places had actual bedrooms and which ones didn't. He also had the inside private listings that you can't just easily find on your own. The place that he found us was great. We never would have found it without him. If you are looking downtown make sure you call 213 first. They will save you a boat load of time and money.

He showed me some nice lofts that I didn't see on Craigslist. There were other agents who also specialized in downtown live/work loft. I talked to one guy who told me to wait a week before receiving listings and offer loft tour by paying some fees. However Gil doesn't ask any fee. He only listens to what you want and will send you several lofts information with photos right away. When you need to see the loft, he shows up there on time. As I'm Japanese and always on time, I was impressed that he was always there before me. At the end, I didn't get the loft through Gil. I wish I did because he was so nice and professional. That's why I'm here to recommend his great service to anyone who started to look for a loft space in downtown LA!

One of the things we appreciate most is how proactive they are about protecting our bottom line.

They're exceptional communicators who truly take the time to resolve issues fairly for both us as owners and for our tenants - a rare balance to find in this industry.

They took the lead on sourcing several plumbing companies to find the best price and monitored the entire project closely until it was completed.
