I was one of the many unfortunate people who lost their home in the Palisades wildfires. For over a…read moreyear, I was undecided about whether to sell my ocean view lot or rebuild. I was so fortunate to have been referred to Anthony by my sister in law, also a real estate agent, who knew Anthony professionally. He couldn't have been more helpful to me in my decision making process, and ultimately the successful sale of the lot. Anthony's guidance represented the rare combination of knowledge, professionalism, and tremendous empathy for my situation. As deservedly busy and highly respected as he is, he always made as much time to talk as I needed, and consistently got back to me in a more than timely manner. Once my decision was made to sell, we got the best price possible. I can't recommend Anthony (and his entire team at Amalfi) highly enough!

Remember the name: David Mouallem! David Mouallem! David Mouallem! Biggest bait and switch, lying,…read morecowardly, dishonorable scam artist in existence! He stole $3980 from me, and I am seeking legal action to get it back. Let's go down the list through each lie in order, shall we?... - Told me tenants would be out by July 15. It is July 19 and they are still there. THE FIRST LIE! - He wanted the $1990 security deposit without letting me see the place. I was hesitant, but relented because we had talked on the phone a few times, texted a lot, and I had research him and he and his company seemed legit. He said we would schedule a viewing once the deposit was made. I deposited it. THE SECOND LIE!...Then suddenly, he said I needed first and last month's rent to view the place because the owner was in a rush to rent it. I was frustrated, but talked him down to first month's rent only because I really wanted to get out of my current place. I paid first month's rent as well, so $3980 total has been paid without a viewing. - The address and listing were completely wrong. THE THIRD LIE! The listing was for 1815 10th St. Santa Monica, CA. I happened to be in the area and went by the address to ease my paranoia. Nothing on the outside looked like the photos on Westside Rentals except the color of the building. I had good conversations with some of the tenants who all verified that David Mouallem was, in fact, their property manager as well. - Two days ago, we finally, we schedule a viewing for 10:00 AM today (July 19 Saturday). Suddenly, yesterday he says they can only do Monday. THE FOURTH LIE! We settled on 5:00 PM today. I arrived on time. By 5:30 PM, I had called and texted him over 60 times total with ZERO response. I ran into the current tenant of the unit and asked if she was moving out. She looked surprised and said "No". I said I was sorry to bother her and eventually left the property. David finally returned my texts but would not answer the phone because he was afraid of how (rightfully) upset I would be. Here's the kicker...He said this wasn't even the right apartment complex! I told him to refund everything I paid him immediately. He asked how, and I said to Venmo it along with $50 gas money for standing me up. He said okay. I said that it had to be in the next hour or I would do exactly what I'm doing right now typing this. It's been two hours and I have NO VENMO NOTIFICATION for my refund. Do NOT rent from this man or his realty "company"! Because of him, I am now in dire straits at my current place because they think I'm moving out. The stress this has caused me while being a full-time student and employee is innumerable. By the way, I STILL haven't met him face to face! I am making it my life's mission to make sure everyone knows how awful this man is and -- if I don't get my money back -- will continue to leave this review on every site I can and make sure he gets fired. I'm a patient person, and this man tested my every nerve along this path of despair onto which he led me. Oh, and he will DEFINITELY leave a reply on this denying everything, despite the fact that I have plenty of digital proof. Good luck everyone!

David is the best! He is honest, dedicated, has integrity, and really cares about his clients. He…read moretruly wants them to be happy rather than make a quick penny. David helped me buy my condo in 2014, and made the process completely seamless for me. He set up all of the inspections and was there for all of them, handling the ones that I didn't have to be present for. He also helped me to negotiate a price below ask on a great property in a great area. Flash forward three years - I'm currently in the complicated position of trying to buy a home but not wanting to sell my condo until I find a home. David is going the extra mile and marketing my property off market in the meantime, which means setting up several individual private showings rather than the much easier process of just listing it and having a couple of open houses. He had beautiful pictures taken and set up a gorgeous website to market my property. When I was getting tired of looking and thinking of putting an offer on a home that was not at all what I wanted, David sat me down and talked me out of it, knowing that it would not make me happy long term. I can't think of many agents who would do the same. We have bid on several properties, and David has on multiple occasions talked me out of bidding an amount way too much above the property's value. He has definitely saved me from buyer's remorse, which would be horrifying when spending this kind of money. Because inventory is low, David is personally writing and mailing letters to thousands of people in the various areas that I'm looking to see if anyone would be willing to sell their property to me off market. More importantly, I feel like David truly cares, and is going through the process with me. My heartbreak is his heartbreak, not because of a lost commission, but because he truly cares. He is also extremely responsive to all texts, emails, calls... all the various ways that I, the super annoying and demanding client, use to contact him constantly. Good luck finding another agent like that!

David is a home seller's dream come true.  He is truly a master at his trade, and it is clear that…read morehe puts careful thought into each maneuver with the goal of achieving the best for his clients.  As if with a magic wand, our condo that was lived in for 10 years, with two young kids, was turned into what looked like an HGTV makeover.  We were impressed with David and his team's speedy coordination of painting, repairs, deep cleaning, and staging, followed by professional photography, virtual tour, and state of the art videography using drone technology. Marketing and someone with deep knowledge about the DTLA condo market were key for us when choosing a realtor, and so we chose to go with the best.  In the first week of listing, we were ecstatic to have received an all cash offer even though it was below the list price, because cash is king and we were in the middle of the pandemic that depressed the DTLA condo market.  We were ready to accept the offer but David encouraged us to counter.  David had performed thorough market analysis and it was clear that he put strategic thought into the recommended list price, which was not only fair but priced to sell, and so it was reasonable to counter.   The counter paid off, returning an increased offer price. Without us asking, David continued to negotiate in the background and got the buyer to agree to an additional increase by a couple thousand! Clearly, David's passion in his work is not driven by commission.  He will go the extra mile all for the benefit of his client.  The happy ending doesn't end here. We were utterly shocked to learn three days before the scheduled close date that the buyer was not able to perform on the cash offer.  We were devastated thinking about all the costs incurred and the large interest amounts we were paying on our new home.  David swiftly jumped into action and reached out to his legal team and to all the buyer agents who had previously toured our condo.  David once again impressed us when he came back with news of multiple offers and again encouraged us to counter.  We ended up accepting and closing on a price above list; a price significantly above the initial cash offer that fell through.  I don't know how else to say it - David is simply amazing and executes at every turn.

Orlando is the absolute best! Many people will leave reviews like this to be courteous, but we mean…read moreit. We had almost given up on finding a home until we were introduced Orlando. After 9 months of pounding the pavement, Orlando found us an off-market property in under two weeks. It was exactly what we were looking for. We didn't have to negotiate, he just got the deal done. I don't want to set unrealistic expectations, because the experience almost seemed unreal it was so easy. I have already referred several friends his way. Do yourself a favor and hire Orlando and the KW team:)

We met Orlando serendipitously at an open house and were drawn to his kind and easygoing demeanor…read more We had a firm price limit and a clear idea of what we were looking for in a house (e.g., open concept; 3BR; backyard). We just weren't sure where we wanted to live on the West Side. Orlando was very knowledgeable and flexible, showing us homes in a number of places in the first month (during COVID, no less) and squeezing in spontaneous visits to listed and unlisted homes due to connections with realtors in the area. He was never pushy, impatient, or dismissive, and was always present and intentional about debriefing each house to better understand what we were looking for, offering his thoughts when helpful. When we settled on a location, we were a little anxious about the school districts until Orlando connected us with his colleague (with children) who was very knowledgeable about the school system. Moving into negotiations, we let Orlando lead the way as we are not good negotiators. Following his intuition, we were able to secure a house for $5000 over asking price, which was an accomplishment in the seller's market with similar homes in the neighborhood being sold way above asking price (For context, we had put an offer down on a house prior to this one and a bidding war increased the price by $100K!). After securing an offer, Orlando was very gracious (and efficient) in answering any questions we had and putting us in contact with different people - ranging from a mortgage broker to get another loan estimate to a neighborhood painter who could redo a few walls. But beyond the professional and excellent service offered by Orlando, we are glad we followed our gut to contact him after that open house event. He's kind, sincere, thoughtful, and intentional. To illustrate the kind of person he is, when we closed on our house and had family come over for the final walk through, he brought pastries from his parents' (award-winning) bakery to celebrate - just one of the many ways we were grateful to meet and work with Orlando. (Thanks, Orlando!)

His pricing strategy and tactics for handling a multiple offer situation led to an outcome that met or exceeded the expectations he and other agents we had interviewed had set for us. He is very professional without being stuffy or cocky or overly formal. He has excellent communication skills--explaining things clearly, listening to us in order to understand our priorities and concerns, and helping us navigate to what we would consider to be the best possible outcome. Any time we were called upon to make a decision, he was happy to offer his recommendation and explain the basis for it. If we wanted to take a different path, he made sure we understood what we were doing and then supported us 100% in our decision. A complication did arise in our transaction where the buyer made an unexpected demand late in the escrow process that some would say was a violation of the contract all parties had signed. Ron Wynn handled the situation calmly and professionally and got all parties back on track. I would recommend Ron Wynn as a caring, able, and ethical agent who treats his clients with respect and has a very deep knowledge of the West L.A. real estate market.
