David is always responsive, proactive, and clear in explaining each step of the process. Whether it was coordinating with lenders, navigating inspections, or handling negotiations, he made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and well-organized, especially as first-time homebuyers. His support and guidance even go beyond closing, and not once did we ever feel like we were on our own. Not to mention that David is just an all-around great human being and a pleasure to communicate with. His expertise and professionalism truly exemplify why having a great realtor is so important, and we feel very lucky to have him as a partner during our first home buying process. We look forward to working with him if more opportunities arise in the future, and would highly recommend David to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We had a great experience using John Acklen, Jr. as our real estate agent who sold our Burbank…read morehome. Selling property is something we haven't done in 18 years- we knew we needed competent representation! From the moment I met him, I knew John had the qualities that I consider necessary for success in this field- he is personable, energetic, interested in the other person, bright, creative, fearless and knowledgeable. We shopped for a real estate agent by going into other open houses for months before we were ready to go on the market. If an agent ignored us there or let us walk out the door without finding out that we were his/her next prospect, I knew that one did not have the guts or fire I was looking for! That happened frequently, but that didn't happen with John. He put us at ease, learned that it was our wedding anniversary that day, and sent us home with all the leftover snacks and drinks from his open house! He carefully followed up with me by being nice: checking in on our progress in readying for our house sale, not hounding us, letting us know he was available if we needed advice, and asking for the chance to give us a market analysis. When we were ready, John was the first person we called to interview for the job. Frankly, all agents provide a similar analysis and say the same things about what to expect when you sell. John and his partner, Winston Nelson, shared stories about their past sales that gave us insight into how they'd handle the unexpected when it arises. They gave us immediate and reasonable feedback about simple changes we should make in the property to optimize a good impression for buyers. They demonstrated excellent communication skills and old-fashioned good manners; a handwritten thank-you note that came in the mail. (A little bit of that goes a long way with me.) We interviewed several; it was an easy decision to sign with John and his company. Real estate paperwork for sellers consists of quite a pile: John knew how to assist and when to hold back. The staging and the photography services he and his partner provided were top notch, as well as all the details he covered for us, such as getting professionals over to complete some final, last minute changes. John held a Broker's Open and an open house and we had multiple offers in 5 days and a quick sale for $20k over the asking price. At one point in the process, the buyer had a financial reversal and we feared the deal would fall through, but again, John handled this crisis well. He did not panic. His calm manner and skill at communicating helped everyone involved to hang in there. We ended up closing on time with the same buyers. It was tense for a while, but John remained vigilant and professional throughout. Above all, we knew we had a strong and competent advocate on our side in John Acklen, Jr. It should be clear that I recommend John Acken, Jr. highly and without reservation. If you retain his service to market and sell your real estate property, I am sure you will glad you did. We are! Gail and Irv Peters

Worked with Richard initially in dual agency then as a buyers agent. As others have mentioned, he…read moreis a class act. The first property we made an offer in we were outbid (by a significant amount, no hard feelings on losing it) but he was patient and kept us apprised of all changes and offers coming through. He was knowledgeable and educated us on both what to look for and unique additions to a property and how they differed from current market offerings (he's also a general contractor, if you know you KNOW how helpful this is). The second property he helped us beat a CASH OFFER. This to me was huge as the property we were looking at was truly a unique gem in the rough and we were fairly attached by the time we walked through with him. He even slowed down the process as we were out of town right after the listing went live despite the live cash offer on the table. He WORKED to keep our offer relevant often going to meet the sellers agent in person (roughly an hour away) once negotiations began. He shot straighter than an arrow on issues with the property going as far as giving *semi professional estimates based on what he's seen in his local market. So far, post closing, all of those estimates were either on target or slightly over what we received back from subcontractors (he prefers to overestimate to budget safely which I find comforting). I HIGHLY recommend Richard, he is hard working, incredibly responsive, and efficient with his time and yours. He's an all around great person and wholesome as well - he tends to operate more on building relationships than numbers which is hard to find today, especially in an agent. We continue to work with him as a general contractor and he is currently working miracles on our timeline (all the major things you assume will take months are being scheduled within weeks). Hope to keep this relationship going as we're going to have an endless number of projects in the future hah. *I use semi professional here because it was not an official quote but a quick one drawn up one to give us an idea if buying the property was feasible with our budget. It was so accurate it almost feels criminal to say semi.

His background in contractor management means he can relate both sides of the business and help you make good decisions. He also has great design sense and will go above and beyond, helping to guide you towards wise decisions. My purchase went smoothly, thanks to Richard making sure things were well explained and taken care of. He really goes the extra mile, being very sensitive to keep buying a home from being a stressful experience. He is very personable and reaches out to everyone involved, and he does his best to gather information on your behalf. Richard will even recommend where to get deals on items that will work when furnishing your new place. This shows the level of thought and care he puts into the experience. Buying a home is not only transactional, it requires a lot of decision-making. Richard acts wonderfully as a guide and consummate professional in both areas.

(Completing in just 25 days, versus about 4-6 months back home!) John helped us navigate the LA property buying process and held our hand the whole time. He really did take the stress out of it, which we're really grateful for. He has a great personality, patient and kind but with good humor. He is very efficient and detailed and advised us on tactical approaches. He is not like your typical LA realtor, he is very likable and 'real', this pays off when dealing with ppl on our behalf (agents, mortgage, escrow etc) He totally 'got us'. He also had great, reasonably priced contacts when it came to things like inspections. I am someone who really like to understand the ins and outs of anything I'm doing, he was super patient and involved me fully in all aspects and humored me by answering my very many questions! We did much of the searching ourselves, because we wanted to, then he set up the viewings and took it from there (of course he could do the searches for you too but that was our preference) he was very respectful of covid-19 safety too. He actually made it all an enjoyable experience...and even made the gazillion pieces of paperwork painless. He is totally 'on it'. Highly recommend.
