Just closed on my first home, and I couldn't have done it without Lisa and Poul Erik! They are a great team and come with real knowledge and experience you want an agent to come with. Not only that, they both equip you with education through the entire process. They're patient and understanding and explain every step of the way, especially with someone like me who has a LOT of questions. Their commitment to clients is very obvious in how they goes over and beyond. Lisa and PE are agents I will definitely keep in touch with. They're an absolute dream team and pleasure to work with! read more

This is the second time working with Poul Erik and we've had great experience both times. We have bought and sold with him. He is extremely kind, thorough, patient, thoughtful and does a great job in both the buying and selling process. He responds back to us in a timely manner and is constantly checking in with updates. I would highly recommend working with him. read more

This review is specifically for our realtor, Michelle Nishide! My boyfriend and I were ready to purchase our very first home after a long time of budgeting and saving. Going through this process is incredibly exciting yet daunting at the same time. From our very first meeting with Michelle (she created an entire PowerPoint to explain the entire process and let us ask our questions. Overall was a 2hr meeting!) to the very end, Michelle was always so responsive, was incredibly transparent, and honestly was our best advocate in today's tough market. Not only that, but we had a very unique closing experience that caused a lot of stress by the time we closed. She was always on top of the quick deadlines, was communicative with other cross functional partners like our lenders and sellers, and ultimately got us to the finish line. We ended up closing at the end of February and beat out multiple offers in such a competitive market. I'm so happy that one of my best friends recommended Michelle to me because not only did we have a great and pleasant experience with Michelle, we felt like we gained a great friend! To this day, if any of my friends or acquaintances need a recommendation for a real estate agent, we always share Michelle's contact information. There's no hesitation that in the future, if we sell or plan to buy another home, we will 100% go straight to Michelle from the Kondo Group! read more

I've known Shima now for a number of years. I've gotten to know her on a personal level as well as in business. I'm in the unique position to work with her and her clients. I can see how she handles and treats her clients without bias. She truly is one of the most caring people I've met in my life and in the real estate business. Time and time again I witness her taking the time to really connect with her clients and make sure they understand the process step by step. When necessary, she contacts me separately to make sure her clients are being take care of the best way she knows how. Her business practices aside, she is, simply said, a giving, loving, wonderful, and humble human being. In my opinion, she and the Kondo Group deserve more stars than are possible. Highly recommended. read more

I first met Shima many years ago when she found me my dream home in the competitive South Bay market. Prior to meeting her, I had become exceedingly frustrated by the disconnect I had felt with other brokers. Shima's success began when she took time to get to know me, and then worked her impressive network to find a place that she knew I would like. I have had the pleasure of watching Shima grow into one of the top agents in Los Angeles. My job requires educating my clients on how to use social media to it's full potential, and I have watched Shima enhance her brand with some of the most creative and innovative ideas on the web. Shima has impressed many clients with both her (often surprising and whimsical) creativity, and also her consistent and timely communication skills. Clients should feel confident that their wants and needs will be addressed in a timely manner and with consistent quality. She carries herself with utmost professionalism and a positive demeanor. As an agent, She already has all of the essential characteristics: intellegence and an analytical mindset, fast and responsive communication, intelligent risk taking, & focus. She applies those essential characteristics to get the best possible deals for her clients, and for her company. With the unique connection she seems to make with clients, and the ability to back that up by meeting their specific needs, Shima is a already a very accomplished agent. As a gifted deal maker and strategist, she is easily on par with the very best agents and brokers I have worked with. Additionally, she even donates her time to a number of different charities and has very special relationships with friends and family. Any person looking for property in Los Angeles would be lucky to work with her. read more

We were first time home buyers and Poul Erik served us - he replied quickly to texts, phone calls, emails; he set up inspections and paper work efficiently; he watched our back and represented our interests; he explained the process. We appreciate his integrity and long hours of work on our behalf. I like how Poul Erik is naturally a curious person who will get on his knees to look under the house or climb up on chairs to look into attic spaces; in the same way, he searched out different ways of doing things to meet our individual situation. Finally, we appreciate how he's a man of God and was praying for us. We wish you all the best as you continue to serve your customers' needs, Poul Erik. Thank you! read more

She is on top of her game, and will make sure you get exactly what you want! read more

I will be looking into hopefully purchasing a home in the South Bay in the next year. I will definitely consult the Kondo Group due to affiliation with Shima (realtor). She is a kind, trustworthy and knowledgeable realtor. I have no hesitation in my mind that this group would provide nothing but the best assistance with the home buying process. read more

Miki Michelle Nishide is the absolute best! We started working with her before we were even ready to buy a house, but she stayed in contact with us and let us know when homes that fit our parameters became available. She found the perfect home for us when we were finally ready to pull the trigger. She advised along the whole process. I honestly don't think we would have gotten it without her expertise from working with the seller, lender, and everything in between. We will 100% be coming back to her for future sales and purchases. Thanks Michelle! read more

I highly recommend working with Shima! She is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and a genuine person.

I've had multiple engagements with Shima Razipour with The Kondo Group and she has been impressive each and every time! Not only she is knowledgeable and understands the overall market / the SouthBay market in particular but she is prompt, reliable and has her clients best interest at heart. A true professional and a pleasure to deal with!! read more

We worked with Michelle and Tad. We used a couple other agents before, so we had a good feel of how things should flow. This duo impressed us right away with a tour of the area. They showed us the entire South Bay, giving us details about each area as well as showing us available homes--luckily one of these homes ended up being ours. We have 3 small children; they were patient with us as we stopped for diaper changes, etc. Throughout escrow, they were awesome. They were so responsive and would answer our questions immediately. If they needed to find the answer, they would let us know they were on it and a little while later, they would follow up with the answer. They gave us great referrals too for the renovations on our new home. My favorite things about them were: 1)they are super responsive and 2)they were honest--if I asked their opinion on something, they gave their honest opinion on what they would do--it was very helpful when it came to picking lenders or any other services. Thank you both! read more

Merie is a very professional, honest and hard-working person, she is always with the best attitude to help people to find a home. It was a blessing to find her because we were struggling a lot with previous agents, Merie is not the typical agent that will want you to work on her schedule but the contrary she is very adaptable and always be on your side, working on your time and schedule, always on top of all the details that are needed in this very stressful process to find a home, she is always aware of everything, answering all our questions with their team and when no answer is available she will dig to the very end to get the details for you, another good point is Merie's team the Kondo Group that are always available to give their opinions as professional agents so you could say you have more than one experienced agent on your side, she will listen to your needs and she always respect your decision when a home you see it is not really something you are looking for, so it is not the type of agent that will try to push you for a sale, she is there to help you to find the best for you and your family. We are really grateful with Merie and we couldn't believe we were able to find and get a home for our family finally even in these hard days with the pandemic situation. We highly recommend her and her team for any new buyers that are interested in find their home. Thank you so much for everything Merie! read more

I want to highly recommend Shima with The Kondo Group. Shima is extremely personable and knowledgeable in the real-estate business. A few things stand out about her.

Shima will be on your side and will always go the "extra mile" for you! I've witnessed her dedication first hand. read more

Noelle was an amazing agent to us. Very professional, very informative, very responsive and incredibly committed! We faced a complicated closing process as both the seller and her agent mismanaged their part of the paperwork on multiple occasions; Noelle really went out of her way to get that fixed and ensure a smooth closing! Tad and his team provided great support all the way through that process and we totally felt like VIPs. Highly recommended! read more
