I cannot say enough positive things about the team at Jim Weber Realty. My husband and I lived in a…read moreproperty managed by Jim for nearly 10 years. We have been astounded by the level of attentiveness - quick responses to maintainence needs, strong communication, and, in general, respect for us as tenants. The property is rent stabilized/controlled and there were several years that they did not raise the rent even though they could have. The property in general has been well maintained-- manicured yard, weekly trash haul out, and in the 10 years we lived in the apartment, they painted the exterior and replumbed much of the building. It has been a place we have been proud to call home for nearly a decade, and Jim Weber Realty made that possible.

If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares about his clients, Andrew Mason is the person…read moreyou want in your corner. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, a LOT of nerves, and a very specific list of things we were looking for in a condo. We spent more tiem than most keeping an eye on the market and waiting for the right place, and Andrew was incredibly patient through all of it. We never felt pressured or rushed. Instead, he helped us stay focused on finding a home we truly loved and felt good about. Then, when the right condo finally came on the market, Andrew jumped in as our guide through the process. He got us in for a showing within 24 hours, helped us put together a strong offer within 48 hours, and guided us through every step with so much confidence and expertise that what felt intimidating suddenly felt manageable. Our offer was accepted quickly, escrow was smooth, and just 15 days later, we were homeowners. Andrew is thoughtful, responsive, and somehow makes a stressful process feel fun. We really felt, and still feel, like we can trust him in what is the biggest decision of our lives so far. We always felt like he was looking out for us and giving us honest advice, not just trying to close a deal and move on. And any time we were with him, he was never rushing out the door. He was patient and always answered our (many) questions. We're so grateful for his help, and in many years when we are ready for an upgrade, know that he will be our first call.

Sitah was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and proactive throughout the entire process. Her deep understanding of the local market and strong relationships were absolutely critical--she was able to uncover an off-market opportunity that we never would have gotten without her.

I truly felt supported and confident every step of the way and would highly recommend Sitah to anyone looking to purchase a home, especially if you want an edge in a competitive market.

I was not planning on signing up for classes at all, never mind get my real estate license. The…read morethought of renewing my lease one more year living downtown was dreadful and my goal was to purchase a home by 2019. But everybody I spoke to just told me different things - I received a mixture of advice from : ..."buy property, you're wasting money renting!" to ..."just continue renting, there's so many hidden costs owning a home and the market's going to crash". My mission was to learn something new and feel confident about any future investments. Confused and having no idea who to trust, I went on Yelp and looked up real estate classes. I searched KW DTLA's address and realized it was literally across the street and they offered a free introductory course so I said, why not!? At the time when I joined, my schedule was pretty flexible so it only took me up until our first class break to decide that I wanted to be apart of this program. Mac was my instructor and the course was 3 months long. That wasn't a commitment at all for someone who spent 9 years in university. What did I have to lose? The cost was $450 ish including the 3 textbooks and $50 less without which included a year access to their online portal. In addition to this package, I purchased supplementary courses from Prep Agent and Rico's videos which were not that useful. I read all of the text books and they were god awful dry but the portal has a lot of useful study tools. KW students also have access to self-improvement and educational resources outside of these classes with workshops, motivational guest speakers and networking events where I got to meet some really great people. 4 hours of sitting through a class can get pretty intense but it wasn't too painful because Mac was a truly wonderful instructor! I surprised myself since I was not even remotely interested in selling homes and I signed up right away. There was something about the energy of the people who I met here that kept me coming back. Mac was very knowledgeable, entertaining, personable and was always helpful with any questions we had. He also had very good taste in sneakers! Who knew Real Estate classes could turn out to be this fun that I wished the program never ended?! Unfortunately, an unexpected event occurred with work in early January and I haven't been able to register or study for the exam yet. I look forward to the issues settling down and resuming where I left off to get my license this year, hopefully buy property sometime in the future too. Thank you for such an inspiring class Mac and KW team. I highly recommend this location to anyone interested in learning about real estate or getting licensed!

He politely said he wanted a day to come back with what he thought. he did come back with quite a few suggestions of best ways to sell our unique home. we hired him on the spot. from that point on we had a very clear path of communication. open and honest. he was always punctual, happy, and positive! if you are looking for the best in the business, create properties is your only answer!!

would be extremely cautious hiring Stace Valnes to manage work on an occupied rental property…read more We are tenants of our home for eight years. During that entire time, we paid rent on time every month, maintained the property as if it were our own, even handled minor repairs ourselves, and never caused any issues. Unfortunately, our experience with Stace during a renovation project was the complete opposite of what we expected. On two separate occasions, contractors working under his direction entered our home without the legally required notice or our permission. As tenants, that was an unacceptable violation of our privacy and our living space. The project itself took significantly longer than anticipated, and communication was consistently poor. We were given little to no information about timelines or when areas of the property that had become unusable would be restored. The most frustrating incident occurred when my $700 jogging stroller and my husband's specialized engineering tools disappeared. The contractors had moved them from the side of our home to the neighboring property while they painted. We later learned from the contractors that Stace instructed them to throw everything away because he believed it was "trash." Those items were our personal property, and it was never his decision to make. When confronted, he showed no accountability, offered no meaningful apology, and made little to replace what was lost. Throughout the process, I found Stace to be evasive, condescending, and dismissive of legitimate concerns. I gave him multiple opportunities to acknowledge what happened and make it right, but he chose not to. The situation ultimately became serious enough that I filed a complaint with the City Attorney regarding his handling of an occupied tenancy. If you own rental property with tenants in place, I would strongly recommend asking detailed questions about how occupied renovations will be managed before hiring him. Respectful, law-abiding communication with tenants is essential, and based on our experience, that standard was not met.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but after nearly five months of working with Greg Offsay "…read moreExecutive Vice President, DRE #01837719" and illi Commercial Real Estate, I feel obligated to warn others about my experience. This was, without question, the worst experience I've ever had with a commercial real estate broker. Ironically, Greg was the one who reached back out to me after we had decided not to move forward with a property because the landlord's asking price was too high. He contacted me and said the landlord was willing to lower the rent, encouraged me to reconsider the space, and convinced me to move forward with the transaction. Unfortunately, that was the beginning of months of frustration. From that point on, communication was terrible. I constantly had to chase Greg for updates. It was common for days, and sometimes longer, to go by without hearing anything. If I didn't follow up, communication often stopped altogether. Looking back through our text messages and emails, it's obvious that I was repeatedly asking for updates because he consistently failed to communicate or keep the deal moving. Throughout the transaction, I was repeatedly misled about the status of the deal. I have emails, text messages, and voicemails documenting numerous occasions where I was told one thing, only to later discover something entirely different. There was never any transparency, and there was never any accountability. Whenever there was a delay, there was always another excuse. It was the landlord. Then ownership. Then he was out of town. Then he was dealing with personal matters. Then he was out of the office. There was always someone or something else to blame, but never any ownership of the repeated delays or lack of communication. Everything was always someone else's fault. At one point Greg even claimed there had been a lot of "start and stop" throughout the deal. That simply wasn't true from my perspective. We spent months negotiating lease revisions, and the overwhelming majority of the delays occurred because I was waiting on him. I had already provided everything that had been requested and repeatedly found myself following up just to make sure things were actually moving forward. You can have a look at some of the photos I provided. Greg was also extremely unaccommodating when it came to scheduling. Rather than making an effort to accommodate his client's schedule, I was constantly expected to accommodate his. For someone who is supposed to represent his clients and facilitate transactions, I found this incredibly unprofessional. What makes this experience even worse is that after nearly five months, the deal ultimately fell apart. Afterward, Greg apologized and offered to help me find another location. He told me he would send me new listings and continue helping me. That was over a week ago, and just like so many other promises throughout this process, nothing was ever sent. Even after everything that had happened, he still couldn't follow through on something he volunteered to do. I own six retail businesses and have completed numerous commercial lease transactions over the years. I have never worked with an agent who required this much follow up, responded this slowly, communicated this poorly, or handled a transaction this unprofessionally. The amount of time that was wasted was unbelievable. If you're looking for a real estate broker who communicates, follows through on commitments, takes accountability, and genuinely advocates for his clients, my experience with Greg Offsay and illi Commercial Real Estate was the complete opposite. I cannot recommend Greg Offsay or illi Commercial Real Estate under any circumstances. There are far better real estate brokers in Los Angeles. Save yourself months of frustration, poor communication, broken promises, excuses, and wasted time by taking your business elsewhere. This guy is a joke. Updated (July 30th, 2026) In response to Todd: Todd, I find it somewhat comical that you're responding on Greg's behalf when you had absolutely no involvement in this transaction. You weren't part of the emails, text messages, phone calls, or the countless follow ups over the past five months. So I'm not sure how you can confidently tell the public what did or didn't happen. You claim I "edited" the screenshots. Of course I did. They were screenshots, not a complete archive of five months of communication. Their purpose was to show the repeated pattern of me having to chase Greg for updates because communication consistently stalled. No one expects a broker to control a landlord's decisions. My complaint was Greg's lack of communication, the repeated excuses, the misleading information, the failure to follow through on commitments, and the amount of time I spent chasing for updates. If you had actually been involved, you would know that. Instead you've chosen to publicly defend an employee despite having no firsthand knowledge of what actually occurred.

Their agents are knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely focused on doing what's right for the people they represent--not just closing deals. What really sets them apart is the combination of deep local expertise and exceptional service. The Nourmand family has been in the Los Angeles real estate business for decades, and that experience shows. They know the neighborhoods, the market, and the industry inside and out, which gives their clients a real advantage. Their marketing team is also top-notch. Every listing is presented thoughtfully and professionally, with beautiful photography, strong branding, and attention to detail that helps homes stand out. If you're looking for a brokerage with integrity, experience, and a reputation for excellence, I highly recommend Nourmand & Associates.

We picked up a condo in 2020 and then came back to them in 2023 for a single family home once our family started getting bigger. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. These two are the kind of agents who make you feel like you're their only client. They're always a call or text away, they never leave you guessing about what's happening next, and they have an incredible ability to cut through all the noise so you can make decisions with real confidence. On top of that they handled all the details we wouldn't have even thought about. From lining up top notch inspectors to walking us through every part of the deal, nothing ever slipped through the cracks. The thing that really sets them apart though is that they actually care about the people they work with. You're not just another closing to them. They want to see you end up in the right place and it shows in how they operate. If you're in the market to buy or sell, do yourself a favor and go with Nourmand & Associates. It'll be the simplest and smartest decision you make in the whole journey.

Last year I had reviewed based on my personal experience with this so called business. I have…read moresince received a comment that was so low down - I had to answer it. I may be uneducated, but even I know that there is no "e" in the word racist. Even if I had run the a/c at 50 degrees (with an infant in the home??), the damage to the metal sleeve around the filter - took years to create. I could not have done that in 2 months. The carpet was ripped when I moved in - that was explained to Mr Melonas (dated pictures were taken) along with the burnt outlets and the mold in the fridge. He claims that the carpet had been steam cleaned. That was untrue as I vacuumed with a new machine and ended up having to dump the dirt over 5 times!! I would not let my little one crawl on the carpet until I paid to have it cleaned. AND WHAT A LIAR - I NEVER claimed to be owed rent because I have a child...that is such a bullshit lie. He had to chase me down for rent??? I paid online every month and have receipts to prove that. I made only one partial payment and that was because this guy would never return calls or address the issues. As for commenting on my supposed credit score - that shows how this person does business. No ethics. He actually had the balls to ask my husband to steal the car of an enemy of his!! I never said a word about the judge that mishandled that case - I called Kevin an As$*&le. The judge did not get to the part of my lease that states clearly that the deposit cannot be used for rent. Its alright though because every dog has his day and good doggies get two!! That unit is still unoccupied to this day, I wonder why? Maybe the owners saw that this guy was shady. As for my family and I moving to Palmdale? That was not a very nice thing to say, the people who live there are hard working and honest. A dead beat like him should be embarrassed to try and call someone else a dead beat. He should be the one to crawl back under his rock. My deposit probably made a few payments on that Mercedes he drives. Hmmmm?? Like I had mentioned in my very first review, we did not have a choice to hold out for a nicer - cleaner place. I am sure that my story is NOT a sob story. There are so many people that have been crushed by the economy that it is not funny in the least. It will happen to you to Mr Melonas, if you keep trying to screw people. And for the record again - the a/c unit NEVER froze...that thing leaked water into the walls and all around the hallway because of an old rotted metal sleeve that took years to disintegrate. If you think your excuses and shit talking are making your point, well you are right, you are making the point that you are right and everyone else is wrong and that dealing with you will only lose them money and have you trash their reputation. NICE!!! **** I had waited for him to to a walk thru and he never showed. I too have DATED pictures and receipts of the unit both before and after.

This is pretty surprising. I have been renting from Melonas/Citywide for over a year now. I am…read morethinking of buying and thought I should do some research before I try to purchase. The surprise is that such negative reviews could be posted. I have not any issues as described by previous reviewers. The worst case was an issue with some pigeons roosting near my roof. The exterminator was paid by Kevin and came out multiple times without solving the issue. We are renters and if we want a rental that is essentially perfect we should go to a huge complex where they wait on you hand and foot. My guess is that less than perfect credit makes that option not cost effective. I personally wanted a single family home with plenty of room, that's how I ended up where I am now. Thank you to Kevin and team for my home!
