Mike Bary needed to involve a third party, Figure8 (who was lovely and did a fantastic job securing tenants and managing the property), to finally secure tenants. Mike Bary included a clause in the lease agreement that he would be owed 4% of the sale price if the tenants purchased the property, which they eventually did. We foolishly signed this contract giving 4% of the value of our home to Mike Bary for simply making an introduction to tenant. Our real estate attorney noted that he had never seen such a large commission for simply making an introduction to a buyer in his many years of practicing. We would never work with Mike Bary or The Agency in a real estate transaction in the future.

This review is specifically for Natasha Jesrani. I rented a 2-bd property from her for a 4-yr…read moreperiod and attempted to build a relationship based on mutual respect and good communication during the pandemic. For the majority of my time as a tenant, it went well. However, I ended up getting laid off and had to terminate my lease early, to move for a new job. We had a series of discussions based on unresolved issues related to outstanding repairs and lease terms. Natasha was unprofessional during this time, disrespectful and when she didn't get what she wanted at a given moment, resorted to personally insulting me. It seems Sundays are her free day, that's when you can expect to get nasty texts from her regarding issues that aren't currently in her favor. She doesn't seem to manage maintenance well, and besides keeping my security deposit without discussion, she persistently texted me for money weekly 2-3 months after my departure. What bothers me is I typically am a responsible tenant, not perfect by any means, even going above and beyond in areas: - Showing her property to prospective tenants - Meeting her in-person on a trip across the country to give her a duplicate key I made - Cleaning items I found dirty such as curtains and HVAC registers (when a mold problem arose for an end-of-life AC) - Small DIY tune-up such as door hinges .....and she was still incredibly disrespectful to me in moments when a situation wasn't in her favor. Steer clear.

Jennie Martin is amazing but before I go into all of that let me explain some background here. I…read moream a first time seller! I am an artist with no shell who is Dyslexic. I am alone in the world accept for a disabled sister who I love with all my heart and that I have to give money to from the sale of my home! I have lived in my home for 33 years. As a motion picture hair stylist and salon owner, I have won awards at the highest level in my field and I am used to doing hair in every aspec for A list actors and musicians as well as other non performers. I am used to being an expert at my profession and have over compensated in my education because of my dyslexia. To say that selling my home and all that goes along with it was truly, radically scary for me. I have comprehension issues and I panic. I truly panic! Jennie warmly and calmly supportive! I interviewed 3 referral real estate agents in my area that had reputations for being really good. But each one as I interviewed them seem to be too slick for me, they down played the value of my home I think to sell fast and mumbled some low numbers. Not the case with Jennie she sees the potential and she treated me and my home as if I was a bazillion dollar seller with a bazillion dollar mansion. She got me top dollar by the way not even close to those other realtors. Set et up my furniture to really improve the open house experience!!! She explained get rid of all the clutter!!! She inspired me so much I painted and fixed up my entire place!!! It was fun, the artist in me could do this and I couldn't wait for her to see it! I found Jennie on my own searching the internet. She is smart, centered, knows her stuff, and is very strong! I learned you need a strong agent, who is wise, knowledgeable and goes to bat for your best interest. She is not selfish and she is in no way phony! When you deal with Jennie you are dealing with a a truly professional agent, yet personable who becomes a friend on your side and she is a go getter on your behalf. She pulled me though the most scariest thing I have ever done in my 71 years of life. Selling my home!!!! All the paper!!! The journey was really frightening for me! I cannot express that enough! I am not a typical client I am a high maintenance client ! Also I want to say the team in the Rodeo Office was also supportive of some of my questions and remained warm and supportive as well!!! I highly recommend Jennie!!!

I had a deeply disappointing experience working with Peter Maurice, Zizi Pak, and Barnet Gold…read more During a property transaction, I was misled, and ultimately lost my deposit after contingencies were removed--despite serious discrepancies. I raised these concerns, but felt that these agents closed ranks rather than working in good faith to resolve the issue. In my opinion, this was not ethical representation. I strongly encourage buyers to proceed with caution or look for agents elsewhere in Beverly Hills who will prioritize transparency and client advocacy. This is my personal experience, and I'm sharing it so others can be informed.

I would not recommend working with Keith Adler based on my experience. Perhaps he has gained more…read moreexperience since then, but at the time, his negligence and attitude made the process unnecessarily difficult. While he presents himself as having 30-35 years of real estate experience, much of that appears to stem from flipping foreclosure homes rather than representing residential buyers. During the purchase, he was unable to provide the level of guidance or organization required, especially for a deal with a short escrow period. Some basic responsibilities, such as scheduling inspections, were left to me. He even left town during a critical window and only returned after I raised concerns. Toward the end, when questions arose about overlooked tasks, he became defensive rather than constructive and seemed unfamiliar with much of the standard paperwork. In hindsight, I likely should have ended the relationship sooner, but as a first-time buyer, I was advised to stay the course. I now see that decision led to more complications. He should not have been assigned to a time-sensitive transaction, and it's clear he needed more training and oversight from his brokerage, Rodeo Realty. Even after closing, issues persisted. For example, I had to retrieve my own keys from the listing agency. Ultimately, I handled many aspects of the process that should have been managed by my agent. This experience would have gone far more smoothly with someone more experienced or better supported.

It's still a popular tourist attraction and you can see it all from the sidewalk. The interior design is a mix between art deco, pink neon, the Chrysler Building, Italian modernism, a chic speak easy, Trump Tower and a velvet Palm Springs mid century living room.
