Buyer Beware!!! This review is for Joe Reíchling dre#01427385 I was given a job to troubleshoot a sewer ejector for a house he sold to a customer. The sewer ejecting system was improperly installed and caused thousands of dollars in damage. Per the customer Johana Fuentes own words the house she was sold came with many construction imperfections that were caused by improper construction practices. A patio deck what was improperly water proofed caused thousands in damages. When it was determined that the sewer ejecting system was improperly installed Joe Reichling preceded to intervene by bringing his own contractor and confuse Johana cancel the project at 85% completed. As a small business owner to have a job canceled at 85% is a very devastating business blow. In the next few days Joe continued to text me aggressively to justify the deposit Johana had given me. It is apparent that Joe does not care for the blue collar working man and is just interested in protecting himself and his interests no matter who he steps on. read more

We gave Courtney Pickard the impossible task of relocating a family of 4 from SF to our forever home in a hot market during Covid. I had my heart set on a specific neighborhood, which her team is known for. We also wanted a pool, an in-law suite, a fenced yard for dogs, privacy, and a home with character. Courtney previewed properties for us over video/FaceTime and was meticulous about evaluating every aspect from design to construction quality and expansion potential. After we found our needle in a haystack, Courtney skillfully navigated a very intimidating inspection process on our 1920s home on a hill. She went over every item with us from structural and grading to sewer and plumbing so we knew what to expect as owners of a vintage home. The silver lining of that laundry list- Courtney negotiated a price reduction! Highly recommend. read more

I've bought and sold quite a number of houses in my life and I can say with certitude that Joe and his team are the BEST. From the outset of the process to the very end, I felt supremely secure in their hands. Their knowledge, insight, professionalism and courtesy are without peer. For a number of years, Joe and Patrick oversaw the rental of an LA home of mine and this year they realized a top price when I decided to sell. I cannot recommend them more highly. read more

We bought our dream home last year in Mar Vista. We worked with Derek Lester and I can only say positive things about him. We probably weren't the easiest clients, we were picky about what we wanted and were in no rush, we wanted a house that we could remodel but it had to be in the perfect location, walking distance to shops and grocery stores, and have the right layout and bones for an easier remodel, and a nice backyard for kids. And because we weren't in a rush we took almost two years of Derek's time. Over those two years not only did we learn so much from him, we grew to become friends and trust him completely. And eventually, when we were finally ready to actively look and pull the trigger he literally found us the perfect piece of real estate and the gorgeous dream home we now live in. I'm so grateful for the experience we had with Derek and how he made something that can be difficult and stressful, so fun, easy and rewarding. If we ever end up selling or moving (which I doubt will happen for a while), I would without a doubt put our home in Derek's hands. He's a real honest professional and always has his clients' interests in mind first and foremost. read more

Joe sold several properties for me in Los Feliz, all of which achieved exceptional results. I am an experienced investor and have worked with several other agents. It is a pleasure to refer the Bryant/Reichling team. They are best-in-class, and I'd be happy to personally speak to any Seller considering their options. read more

Courtney has represented the purchase and sale of 2 past properties for us, so when it came time to sell our latest property, we didn't think twice about asking her to rep us again. Our house had its challenges and topping it off with selling during Covid was no easy task. Courtney was always available and kept us updated on a daily basis. When we went into escrow, my husband & I were out of the country for a good portion of the escrow and Courtney had everything under control, we did not have to worry about anything. RIght after our trip we closed escrow and had to find a new home while living in a hotel. Searching for a home in the midst of a pandemic and in a crazy market, where inventory was low & prices were high was stressful, but Courtney guided us along and really helped to manage our expectations. She made sure that our minds were well prepared & in reality. This was an essential piece while writing offers and losing out on them. The homes we lost out on were not meant to be, and ended up leading us to finding our dream home. Thanks to Courtney's strategy & creativity, we were able to win in multiples without feeling like we overpaid. While we're not looking to move in the near future, when the time comes, we will continue to work with Courtney, she has once again made us very happy & truly satisfied homeowners. read more

I worked with Joe and had a phenomenal experience. This team was so attentive to my feedback and every part of my process in finding the perfect home. I felt expertly represented at every step along the way. Not only did Joe and team show me a lot of properties that I wouldn't have found on my own, they also provided honest advice, thorough diligence, and incredible attention to detail. I also noted that other agents absolutely love working with Joe and his team. I found the house of my dreams after a long search, and could not be happier with how it all wound up! read more

We cannot heap enough praise upon this team. They sold our home well over asking with multiple offers, but it was no surprise after seeing all the hard and incredible work they put in to listing the house. Prior to listing they were onsite almost every day, overseeing repairs and improvements. It was work they suggested after carefully calculating how to maximize the value of our home on a responsible budget. As a result, the house looked better than ever when it was shown. Escrow was no different as they expertly managed the process, resulting in happy buyers and sellers on the closing day. We can't recommend this team highly enough. read more

Joe and Sara were truly amazing to work with. We met Joe while viewing one of his properties and immediately hit it off. Right after we began our search, the COVID-19 pandemic hit. We were bummed at the timing, but Joe was very reassuring and worked hard to guide us through the new restricted process. It was an unusual time, but nothing seemed to phase him as he booked showings and made himself available to talk us through every step of the way. When we found our house, Joe and Sara were quick and thorough with the inspection process and made us feel confident in our purchase. We stayed well within our budget while moving into a safe and comfortable new home. We couldn't be happier and would love to work with them again! read more

As a long-time client of Bryant Reichling, I am always amazed by their warmth, their expertise, and their fortitude through transactions that are simple to complex, small to large. Boni and Joe are a great team that work in complementary ways to position properties for sale, market them with flair and style to today's buyers, and work through the multi-step process of a transaction. Their extended team and network are on the ball, service-oriented and supportive to all a buyer's or seller's needs. Now with the full power of Compass they have expansive tools, analysis and marketing expertise to really get a home to stand out from the rest of the market. They are our "go to" for real estate needs. read more

Had a great experience with the team, Derek Lester in particular whom I've been working with for the past 6 years and has not disappointed on both the sales and purchasing side. Being a very technical, detail-oriented person, I have set a really high bar and Derek has never disappointed and I hope to continue to do business with him in the weeks, months, and years to come. read more

I had a tough time deciding which company and agent to work to sell my home until I met Joe and his team. I could not have asked for a better experience and people to work with. They went above and beyond to sell my home and they even got over the asking price that we listed at. They are on it 24/7 and genuinely care about doing the best job they can to make you happy, which they did for me. I highly recommend working with them and I can't wait for the best project to have the represent. read more

Reichling \ Pickard Team - Compass - Lookout Mountain Ave - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We met Derek through a friend and we were so happy to have worked with him! We were first time buyers and living in Milan so we needed someone who was knowledgeable about the process and hands on since we had to handle the purchase remotely. We fell in love with the last house he showed us, listed that morning. The house was unique and we knew it was likely that there would be quite a few offers and we were willing to bid over asking. Because of Derek's knowledge of the process and relationship with the selling agent he was able to advise us on the appropriate amount to offer in order for us to secure the house. Derek guided and supported us through the process, answering all of our questions and communicating with the seller's agents, and negotiating on our behalf. He also was present on our behalf for the inspections because we were unable to be there. Throughout the process, Derek was always available to take our calls and accommodated our needs in a way that as warm and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend him as an agent and absolutely plan to work with him again in the future! read more

We did not work with Boni. We worked with Joe. This is a rave about Joe, but it should not be read as any sort of slight against Boni, whom I only briefly met. I do not think we were easy clients, my wife and I. From our pickiness and conflicting impulses during our house hunt, through our complicated closing process, as first-time home shoppers with a real ignorance regarding everything realty, we cannot have been easy. But I can only guess this, because Joe Reichling and his team always made us feel as though we were his top priority, and he was happy to help. No question was too silly, no concern too trivial. He and his team held our hands us through this process, and I would not have wanted to go through it with any other realtor. He was an absolute champ. Through our eight month house hunt, he was never too busy for us. He called us from his vacation when questions came up during the closing. And, on top of it all, he's just a sweet, personable guy with whom you're so happy to spend a Sunday cruising around looking at houses. During our hunt, we saw great houses that we turned our noses up at. And we dragged him to some real dogs that he must have known ahead of time we would hate. In neither case did I ever get a sense that he was at all impatient with our process of educating ourselves. He talked every house through with us. We made a few offers on houses before we made an offer on our house. He encouraged us to offer what we were comfortable paying. He never pushed us to offer more. He had a very realistic (and in every case accurate) sense of what a house would finally go for. But when we didn't feel like going that high, he presented our lower bids to the seller as strongly as he could. When we made an offer on our house, he pushed beyond the "no credits" stance of the listing agent, and got the (significant) credits we needed to close the deal. He is a good negotiator. It may be worth noting that our house hunt was significantly longer than eight months. We had two realtors before Joe. But Joe was the guy who gave us the confidence to take the leap when the moment was right. We could not be more happy, and we could not recommend a realtor more highly. read more

If you're selling your home in LA, I would highly recommend Boni Bryant and Bryant Reichling. Boni was knowledgable and efficient in dealing with our sale from start to finish. She was honest and straightforward with her thoughts and suggestions...not to mention she was able to sell our home within one month! read more

The team at Bryan/Reichling (Boni, Joe and Courtney) was everything we needed in an agent. They listen, were attentive to our unique needs, extremely easy to work with and always presented themselves professionally. When managing the sale of our home, Bryan/Reichling sought to negotiate the best terms and provided options to maximize value. Their knowledge of our neighbourhood was extensive They are also very flexible with, and receptive to, a more on hands seller, as we were. We would highly recommend their team. We achieved above our best case scenario sale price! read more

We had great expectations of Boni Bryant after witnessing her grace and expertise in numerous open houses that she was hosting. When it came time to sell our house we knew we had to use Boni. And man, did Boni exceed our expectations! She knew the intricacies of our local market. Boni, Courtney, Summer and the rest of team Bryant/Reichling took stunning photos and video representations (including drone footage) of our house and property. After consultation with us Boni set a price to purposefully ignite multiple offers. And the offers came in. We ended up selling our house for $315,000 over the listing price. Besides the profitable sale, Boni was always gracious. She's a joy to work with. We can't recommend her more. Thank you Boni. read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Joe and Sara Reichling. From the very beginning, they listened to our wishlist, endeavored to manage our expectations, and ultimately exceeded them by helping us find our dream house in our desired neighborhood. Our new house never even hit the market. The Reichlings tapped into their deep network to help us find a house under development and scoop it up for a competitive price. However, their white glove service extended beyond just identifying a house and negotiating a price. The Reichlings went above and beyond to help us ensure that every aspect of the house was perfect. When inevitable issues arose with aspects of the home before and during inspection, they stepped in immediately to find a solution that was suitable to us. They are smart, experienced, reliable, connected, and respected. We never want to move out of this house, but if we're ever forced to, Joe and Sara will be the first and only people we call. read more

We could not recommend any real estate agent duo more than Joe and Sara. They were incredibly patient with us as first-time homebuyers, guiding and advising us through EVERY step along the way. They were upfront in telling us when to walk away from a deal, and ultimately helped us land an amazing home that we are thrilled with. I don't see us moving anytime soon, but if we do, we'll certainly be working with Joe and Sara. read more

Joe and Boni recently sold our home in Los Feliz and was the best decision we made. We chose to work with them for their incredible knowledge, beautiful taste level and strategic approach on the market in Los Feliz. They exceeded all of our expectations during the selling process. Joe and his team were so professional, calm and confident during this entire experience making us fully trust their decisions every step of the way. His team, Matthew Seeley and Courtney Pickard were both great to work with and were equally outstanding in their professionalism and knowledge. We needed to sell in a short time frame, not only were they were able to meet that, they also exceeded the asking price for our home. We couldn't have asked for a better team to sell our home. We highly recommend them to anyone that wants to achieve the best price for their home and work with the best team. Thank you Joe, Boni and team! read more

Joe Reichling and his team just sold our home in the Hollywood Hills. We could not be more thrilled with their marketing acumen, strategic approach and incredibly high level of honesty/integrity. Joe is a terrific guy to work with and handles pressured, time-sensitive situations with professionalism, calm and confidence. We fully trusted Joe to make the best possible decisions on our behalf and he did not disappoint. His associate, Matthew Seeley, is also a super guy and he represented our interests in the same positive way. And Courtney Pickard handled the admin side so effectively that we always knew where we stood. If you are thinking of selling your home anywhere in the LA area, you would be crazy not to meet with Joe and his team and learn what they have to offer. read more

We have worked with Matthew Seeley on two different occasions. Both times he was terrific. He anticipates details, makes recommendations and assures that things go as smoothly as possible. He is also a determined advocate for his clients. My wife and I could not recommend him more. read more

Joe was an incredible agent and truly went above-and-beyond the call of duty. Whether my questions were around the neighborhood, multiple offer scenarios, renovations, the inspection process, and/or credits, Joe always gave great guidance. His extensive experience calmly guided me through a very competitive market. I love my new home and I'd use Joe again for my next home purchase (or sale). Thank you, Joe!!!! read more

We recently sold our house in Los Feliz in record time and a record price. In April of 2017 we decided the timing was right for the sale of our 2 story 1927 Spanish house located in Los Feliz near Griffith Park. We had our mind set on interviewing at least three brokers who were specific to the Los Feliz neighborhood. I found Joe Reichling and Boni Bryant from the Sotheby's Hillhurst office thru Yelp. After interviewing all three, we decided to go with Sotheby's. We meet Joe and Boni two additional times before actually signing a contract to have them represent us. We felt very comfortable with them from the first time we meet them but we also wanted to make sure all our questions and concerns would be addressed. They were very patient with us and walked us through the entire process and even putting together a schedule for us to approve. On the Day of the first open house Sunday June 9th Boni came early to set up and a short time into the open house it rained heavily, but still lots people came and a few scheduled a second showing for Thursday 4 days and later one of those Buyers, came back on Saturday with his broker and asked what it would take to cancel any further open houses. We worked with Boni and Joe who negotiated on our behalf a number that was $160K above our asking which worked out to $800 sf. setting a record for our area. I highly recommend them if you are selling your home. Do yourself a favor take the time to meet with them. We are confident we made the right choice picking Joe and Boni to represent us in the sale of our house; they certainly made us very happy clients. read more

Boni and Joe were great! So glad that my husband and I found them. After our home was on the market with another agent for over 6 months and barely any bites, Boni and Joe took over and our home sold in weeks! They were wonderful to work with and they really knew our area and what buyers were looking for. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Thanks guys!! read more

Joe and Sara represented us as a buyer for a complex off-market sale. Their knowledge and willingness to find answers was amazing. They were able to provide the guidance we needed to put us at ease through the whole process. I can't recommend them enough for any of your Real estate needs. read more

Joe was an absolute pleasure to work with and was integral in securing our home in a very competitive neighborhood. We relocated to Los Angeles from San Francisco and were very new to the home buying process. We expected it to take several months to find a house but Joe helped us locate our dream home and get everything done smoothly and quickly and provide guidance along the way. Overall, we're extremely happy with Joe and we will definitely be recommending him to friends/family looking for homes in Los Angeles. read more

I had Matthew Patrick Seeley Service to buy my first condo. He is an easy-going, fun person to work with. His knowledge of the Los Angeles, West Hollywood, etc property market, genuine interest in a client needs and desires made buying a property a fantastic experience! He is highly professional, very talented and organized in showing properties with my time schedules. He is cleary understands your budget and boundaries! Matthew Patrick Seeley helped me to find a nice unit in the best location.As I was a first time home buyer in USA and I did not know where to start how to review the units, market value etc. Matthew is so patient, extremely attentive,and offered sound advice during the entire process. I couldn't be happier! He helped me from the day one of my hunt to the closure. He has great negotiation skills to work with sellers to carve you out financial benefits. I highly recommend Matthew to all our reference buyers , sellers and friends. read more

I rarely leave reviews, but the level of service in purchasing and selling our home was unprecedented. These guys went so far beyond the call of duty and met every step with confidence in action. Look no further! read more

Joe and Matthew recently helped us out on 3 real estate transactions over a 2 month period! One was for a purchase, and the other 2 they listed and sold with multiple offers. Very communicative, hardworking, friendly, even with our constant requests and questions. Lots of great suggestions in terms of strategies, and even with any unexpected complications in the transactions, they resolved it very quickly. We have purchased and sold numerous properties over the years, we'd be more than happy to use Joe and Matthew again! read more

I would second the raves about Boni and Joe! We worked primarily with Joe in our house search, although Boni also showed us some houses and provided great advice. Joe was the best. He was extremely responsive, returning phone calls and emails quickly. He was supportive throughout the search process, and diligent in terms of following up with other realtors. Even after our offer on the house we bought was accepted, Joe maintained the same level of responsiveness and commitment. He answered our questions, worked with us on negotiating points and inspections, and made sure that the sale closed. We bought in the Los Feliz area-- an extremely "hot" market-- and I do not believe we would have gotten the house we wanted, at the price we got it, without Joe (and Boni's) help. Thank you! read more

We worked with Derek Lester to sell our house and simultaneously buy a new one. It was a very complicated process with a lot of different variables -- schools, size, location, etc. -- and Derek was great at shepherding us through the process and keeping our anxiety levels manageable. He had a very similar sensibility to ours and didn't waste our time with houses that he knew we wouldn't like. He went above and beyond when it came time to list our house and take photos--we were out of town and he handled the whole nightmare of making our messy house look beautiful on his own. We highly recommend working with him! read more

Our sale and escrow, handled by Joe and Boni, could not have been smoother. Starting with the showing and initial broker's open to the public open houses, they were both practical and professional while keeping our needs as a family foremost in their minds. They priced our home right where it needed to be, promoting multiple offers on the first weekend, ultimately resulting in an over-asking price. Ours was not an easy house to sell, as it was a triplex, therefore a commercial sale among single family residential properties, but they somehow managed to find the perfect buyer. Everything from that point on went without a hitch as well, including making the buyers comfortable, which culminated with an on time close of escrow with absolutely no hiccups. It's a credit to Joe and Boni as well as their entire office. We couldn't have chosen better. read more

I have had the absolute pleasure and joy to work with Boni and Joe on the sale of my home. I met with them, along with every other great agent in Los Feliz, trying to rebound after a "horrific first round" with another agent. From the beginning I found Boni and Joe to be extremely professional and honest. Everything they said would happen, happened exactly in the timetable they predicted. Their follow-through was impeccable. Their grasp for the market conditions and marketplace proved the level of experience they bring to the table. They exhibited extreme professionalism and integrity. I have nothing but a rave review and wonderful words to say about this exceptional team. If you want to buy or sell a house, these are the ones you want on your side! read more

I'm proud to add my 5 star rating to Joe and Bonni who represent us in both buying and selling our real estate investments and our home. We work primarily with Joe and his integrity, knowledge and street smarts have us always calling him to get his opinion on properties in the Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake and Echo Park neighborhoods. We love real estate and Joe is a great partner in that endeavor. His team is great and are on top of the whole process which can be daunting, even for experienced customers :) read more

It is rare that I actually feel true excitement over writing a review, and this just so happens to be the case with Joe Reichling and Boni Bryant. My husband and I were referred to Joe in the best way possible -- via a trusted friend who assured us that, once we met with Joe, our search for an agent would be over. And he was right. Joe was incredibly responsive to our extra-long introductory email detailing our ideas for the future sale of our home + purchase of a new one. Upon meeting him, we were struck by his affability, his intelligence, and his taste, all of which worked to put us at ease as if sitting down with a friend. That said, great first impressions can fade, and sometimes disappoint, but our hopes for and expectations of working with Joe have been exceeded at every turn. And so this doesn't just sound like a fluff piece, here is some concrete evidence supporting the above claim: 1. Joe knows how to pick a partner. As we prepared for the sale of our house, Joe introduced us to Boni Bryant. Talk about birds of a feather! Boni is whip-smart, has impeccable taste, and is a straight-shooter all the way. She provided expert counsel on staging and pricing, etc., and it was incredibly cool to see our home through her eyes. Throughout the process, though Joe was point, Boni was always involved and encouraging and it felt wonderful to be in not one but two pairs of good hands. 2. Joe knows his stuff. Whether we're in the market or not, my husband and I are always interested in the goings-on of LA real estate and follow it pretty closely. Once, when meeting with Joe, I began to describe those houses we had been impressed by over the last several years. Joe not only knew *exactly* which properties we were recalling, he also remembered their specific addresses. All off the top of his head. Again, he knows his field in ways that inspire every confidence in his abilities. Speaking of which... 3. Joe sold our home for over asking in eight days. (Need I say more?) 4. Joe made the process virtually painless. It has been several months now since we sold our home and I still cannot recall a single moment of discomfort or anxiety. It actually feels like a happy memory! The whole process was expertly handled and seamlessly executed. When selling your home, you feel like a reed in the wind, and Joe kept every storm at bay. Special thanks to Joe's teammate, Courtney Pickard, who was a huge help and supreme pleasure to work with. 5. Joe continues to lavish us with attention and support. As we've begun the long and arduous process of securing our next house, Joe is ever-present and patient. We know he knows what we're hoping for and the process feels more hopeful than daunting because we trust it will happen, someday. Until then, we are so honored to work with this dynamic team and continue to be grateful for all they've done to better our lives... read more

I have been a licensed real estate broker since 1979. I am also part owner of one of the largest C21 franchises in the country. I learned early on that it is best not to represent yourself in a transaction. I completed two transactions this year with the Bryant/Reichling team. On one I was the buyer and the other I was the seller. In all of my years in this business I have never been as impressed as I am with this group. On the buy side I was dealing with an older seller who needed support. I found the property but I brought in Sara to represent me. Sara worked with the seller very patiently during the process and made the transaction very easy. On the sale side I was completely blown away. I don't want to give away any secrets, but we listed the property and received 15 offers and closed on the property in fourteen days 15% ABOVE the listing price. This did not happen by accident. Sara and Joe presented a strategic plan from pricing, staging, pre sale improvements, and negotiations. It was like a movie script. They actually scripted the open houses, initial offers, counter offers and most amazingly the dates all of this was to occur. It all happened consistent with the marketing script. As the rating headline says, "WooHooo! As good as it gets!" read more

I recommend Joe and his team to anyone in need of a real estate agent. I have used him several times and he has always surprised me with his knowledge and professionalism. I will continue to use him and will make sure to recommend him to all of my friends looking to buy or sell their properties. read more

Team of true pros, from strategy to marketing, they nailed it. We had multiple bidders for our house and were under contract to sell in 10 days. Can't recommend them highly enough. read more
