Willingly, knowingly, and repeatedly misrepresented information about a property he represented. Strongly recommend avoiding.

I have no words to describe how good was my experience with Oren. From begining to end pure professionalism. After a not so good experience with other realtors, I was introduced by a good friend to Oren. He just got the job done in no time. I will refer Oren to everybody I know. read more

The best, most caring, most hardworking real estate agent I ever met. And I met many over the years as the purchase of home I did with Oren's help recently was not the first purchase I ever did. I needed to move out of my apartment which became too small and I was planning simply to find a place to rent. Oren, a long time friend, told me that I should find a place to buy, that with his help I would be able to find the place I love and pay same or less than I would if I was renting. I said in disbelief that if he can find me a place like that, I'd be happy to buy, but I thought that nothing would come of it. Well, I was very wrong and Oren was absolutely right. He started searching for a place, and we went to look at several condos which fit my price range. He understood very well what it is that I wanted and didn't want. Also, I am a very busy person, a full time working mom, and he was so respectful of that, not wasting my time with places he thought would not be appropriate for me. And then he told me that he found a perfect place. We scheduled a viewing and went on a Sunday to look at the condo he found for me. It was beyond perfect. It had all the amenities I wanted, in the exact square mile area that I was looking for and the price was lower than what I thought I would pay for a place like that. I could not believe my good fortune but I held my breath knowing that I will not be the only one making an offer on this place. And this is where Oren worked his magic. He knew how to approach the sellers and their agent, he knew what would be a good offer to make, and long story short - my offer got accepted. After about a month, my escrow closed and I moved into my dream condo 2 months ago. All of this happened in less than 4 months, from the first conversation I had with him to the moment of my move in. Oren knew that time was of the essence for me and he worked very hard to make this happen. I had many questions and concerns along the way, and Oren always picked up the phone and responded to me in his patient and caring way. It's hard to put in words all the good things I can say about Oren. I would recommend him to everyone, fully trusting that he will do the best job possible. I know he has many happy clients ahead of him, and I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him. One thing is for sure, if it wasn't for Oren, I would not be living in my dream place now. I am eternally grateful. E. Storey read more

Oren Osovski is the best and smartest realtor I've ever met. 4 months ago, my mom moved to a residential care home, and my brother & I had to sell her house in the SF Valley. We were referred to Oren by a friend, who had just gone through the same experience. He told us that Oren would take care of everything, and he was right. Oren is a contractor, as well as a realtor. This gives him unique and valuable insights into the value of a property - and how to handle each individual listing. First, Oren went through and assessed the house. He gave us straightforward information and advice on selling the house, but never pushed or pressured. He told us what he could and couldn't do, provided comps, then waited patiently till we were ready for the next steps. He then presented us with strategy, a plan, an assessment on the condition of the house, and a time table. My parents had lived in the house for 20 years, but hadn't kept up with it or upgraded anything. We originally thought we would need to do lots of repairs, painting and so on. We were worried about the condition of the roof, plumbing, carpets. Oren advised that in the current market, we should list this house in "as-is" condition. He nixed any repairs, and instead advised us to just clear out the house. While we did that, he started his "whisper" campaign with his network of investors & buyers, creating a buzz on it. While we were still clearing the house, Oren listed the house on a Saturday night. By Sunday morning, we already had an offer: all cash, OVER the listing price, no contingencies or inspections whatsoever, and a 10 day escrow. We accepted, with Oren's supervision everything moved quickly, and escrow closed in 10 days. He even provided his wonderful assistant Daniel (and truck) to move some of our antique furniture. Done! This is a man who knows his business and is a pleasure to work with. Oren is sensitive to the emotional aspects of selling a house, and has incredible ethics about his business. Plus, he has a great sense of humor and understanding. The best real estate sale experience ever! read more

Oren Osovski - "SOLD"! Oren is the best! - Real Estate Services Near Me - Encino, California

What better can you say about a REALTOR other than "Good as his word, went the extra mile." I was talking to contractors and REALTORs (Oren is both) because my grandparents' old house was in a great location, but falling apart, and with repairs and expenses mounting, time was money. To make matters more difficult, I live out of state. Oren's proposal (market the house as-is to networks of investors and builders he was plugged into, go for a quick cash sale at a premium price) struck me as ambitious and attractive, and his confidence that his goal was achievable convinced me to go with him. Well, he must have had a crystal ball or Gray's Sports Almanac or something, because his plan was EXACTLY how that sh*t went down. Five offers within days, including an attractive cash offer with minimal contingencies and a quick close, above the listing price - an aggressive buyer who wanted a slam-dunk. We accepted, Oren handled all the logistics, e-mailing me documents to e-sign and setting me up with escrow, inspections, compliance, etc. and closed fast enough to give me whiplash. At all the times, Oren was there with insight and explanations, going the extra mile to keep me in the loop, and was sensitive of the memories the house carried and took great care with belongings and keepsakes. Insert superlative here, Oren is rad. Check box "Yes please" :D read more

Oren was great to deal with. He helped us find our dream house and was great to work with. He was flexible and returned calls right away even when on vacation. A pleasure to deal with. I will be calling him when I sell my house - I hope not for a long, long time! read more

Oren Osovski is "The Man" ... super nice, honest and caring kind of a guy, as soon as you see him and talk to him you get great energies and amazing vibes. i am not that good with writing reviews but oren is defintly worth the try , few months ago we wanted to buy a house. Oren made himself available to see all the houses we wanted and coordinated the schedules between us all. We enjoyed hearing his input about the houses we were seeing. He is very informative since he is a contractor as well and therefore can see important things in the house that the regular eye cannot see. Before we began the house hunting process, we heard so many negative things about purchasing a house and Oren made it so much more simpler for us and even a fun process all the way through. He always has a smile on his face and a positive opinion. Never lets you feel you are dragging him or making him work hard to help you find a house. You feel that he's there for you for in every aspect, business or personal. He always prepares you for the next step so you always know what to expect. Overall Oren is very professional and trustworthy. We have already recommended him to all of our family and friends. If there was another star, we would give that as well. Thank you Oren for helping us achieve our dream! read more

I was referred to Oren by another agent who had a good experience with him. I owned a home that I wasn't living in and had kicked around the idea of fixing it up to get top dollar for the unit. I had someone come over and quote me over 80k to do upgrades but at that price I really questioned my ability to get my return on investment. I met with Oren one afternoon and his recommendations were simple and inexpensive. After marginal expense, we were able to list the unit and sell it quickly. He took care of everything, saving me my valuable time. We used his contractors to get the cleanup and paint work done. He assured me that he would keep me from having to drive back to my old home and he did just that. Communication was always good and I was very happy with the transaction. From beginning to end he took care of everything. With regard to the sale he knew how to handle the buyers and didn't let them walk all over us. I would highly recommend Oren for any real estate transaction. Thank you! read more

Thank goodness for Oren. If it wasn't for him we'd still be living with two kids in our old 1-bedroom apartment. Long story short, we wanted to move for awhile, but the whole process of buying a place is so overwhelming and so intimidating we kept putting it off. It's too expensive, I thought. And the last thing I wanted to face was an amped-up realtor trying to strong-arm us into some place they we don't like and can't afford. Enter: Oren Osovski. Not only did he set us up with a place that met our criteria, but he made the entire process -- dare I say it? -- more enjoyable than I ever thought possible. Knowing that buying a first home is a stressful undertaking for anyone, Oren patiently listens to his clients to get a feel for what they are looking for. And then once the search is on, no time is wasted and he navigates them through the process painlessly. When we found a place we liked, he bent over backwards to secure it and finalize the deal for us. The other reviewer mentioned how honest Oren is, and this cannot be overstated. In business such as realty that attracts all kinds of snake oil salesmen, Oren stands head and shoulders above. He has integrity, he supports and is a true advocate for his clients. He personally invested himself in our search and I believe that is truly rare. We moved into our new place nearly six months ago, and I am still pinching myself that it happened as quickly and easily as it did. I would not hesitate to recommend Oren to anyone. read more

What I'm about to say about Oren Osovski sounds too good to be true, but in his case, a very rare case, it is not. I have known Oren since I hired him a few years ago to remodel my kitchen. The job went off without a hitch, on time, on budget. He went out of his way to plan every step of the way, and he showed up on site every single day. Two years later, I hired him to remodel a bathroom. He is the best contractor I've ever met, and I would trust him with my children. Fast forward to real estate. When my mother passed I knew I had to sell her house. It was in poor condition after fifty years. Oren had recently sent me an email to announce his move into real estate. That was perfect for me because he also had the knowledge to assess the house, understand what and how much it would cost to upgrade it -- and here is where the trust he developed with me was crucial -- and advise whether to proceed or sell AS IS. We both agreed on the latter. After cleaning out the house for a month, I was ready to go on the market. Oren had in the meantime begun a whisper campaign among investors about the house, but wouldn't let them see it. When we were finally ready, he put it in the MLS on a Wednesday, priced to sell based on comps and similar situations in the neighborhood. On Friday he showed the house to four investors. On Sunday he held a two hour open house that was so packed -- upwards of 200 people -- that I couldn't park on the street. Offers had to be in by end of work on Monday. Tuesday I met him at his office. He had a stack of 47 offers, many of them more than $100,000 more than the selling price ... and others even higher. I chose an offer and started a ten day escrow. The check just cleared. Oren is the hardest working guy I know, scrupulously honest, someone who believes that good work brings return customers. He cares. He's right. I'll be hiring his boutique construction company to remodel my new kitchen. And I just recommended him to another seller. I've bought and sold a few homes and while I have no complaints about my other hard-working realtors, Oren is still a cut above. My unreserved praise. Sometimes dreams do come true.

We recently completed the sales of my son's property in Sherman Oaks. The home had suffered much neglect over the years and was outdated in many ways. Our initial thought was to rehab it through a company like Renovation Realty. They came and assessed the home and made a cash offer to buy it from my son. At this point I thought it would be wise to get a second opinion. I found Oren through Yelp and read his reviews. one review talked of a similar sale situation that Oren successfully advised him on and ultimately sold the property for a good profit. The fact that Oren is a building contractor was an added benefit. We decided to go with Oren. He communicated in a timely and professional manner. His approach was realistic and matter-of-fact, not "pie-in-the-sky" promises that couldn't be met. Oren met with me and my son as needed. My son lives in Austin and I live in San Diego, so this was a long distance transaction. Oren handled it smoothly. His recommendation to seek all cash offers from investors to buy the property "as is" was excellent advice. As a result of working with Oren, my son had 5 offers within a day or two. He selected the offer that was over his asking price and significantly higher than Renovation Realty's "as is" offer. 16 days later, the property closed escrow as Oren had promised. Working long distance with someone is always a risk, but in this case it was a blessing. I would highly recommend Oren Osofsky to you as a realtor with both the integrity and real estate skill to meet and exceed needs. read more
