On the three occasions that he has done work for me, all the jobs were completed on time and on budget. There was never any surprises on any front. For the needs of my family home, which was an overhaul of an early twenties home that has not had any work done to it in 30 years, Wades team came in on three occasions to help restore the house to its original look. Wade understand what needed to be done. He has a very high aesthetic and offers really creative solutions when we found ourselves up against a wall in terms of what to do (ex: my upstairs tile for the bathroom ). I would confidently use him again for any future work. Erick

I hired Wade to do a very small job for me. He sold me on hiring him by saying that although he…read moremight be more expensive, the work would be excellent. It is a year and a half later and the work is still incomplete. He came in once to fix a portion of the job that didn't turn out like he promised. In finishing that portion of the job, he ruined parts of the work that were previously fine. I asked him to fix the now ruined portion and he is refusing. (He was quite rude in his refusal as well.) I brought in another person who does beautiful, high end work to now fix his mistake. That person laughed when I told him the reason Wade gave me for refusing to fix this portion of the job. And, this person said he will fix it free of charge as it is a very minor fix. Interesting that Wade would refuse to fix such a minor thing and in doing so ruin the relationship with a customer. (It's also interesting to note that he made this same mistake earlier in the project and after I pointed it out, he was willing to fix it then.) I realize it is a small job and he might be sick of having to return on a number of occasions to fix problems with it. But, he should have either not taken the job or done it correctly the first time then. I won't hire Wade again and you shouldn't hire him at all. Also, take heed that the only positive review he has on Yelp is from "M.C." who is the mother of two of his children. So, take that review for what it is worth.

In the current sellers market, you may think, "why do I even need a realtor?" Being on the other side we can confidently say we're glad we had one, and that Steph was ours. Prior to putting our house on the market, she and her co-worker helped us decide on some upgrades to maximize value and connected us with contractors to assist making that work happen. Once we were ready to list, she took photos, crafted an amazing sizzle reel complete with drone footage and created a website just for our house. She is punctual, communicative, and went above and beyond helping us with our listing. She facilitated multiple showings and three open houses that resulted in a ton of foot traffic through the door. Her hard work and strategic positioning led to multiple offers and an accepted offer far above our asking price. Steph blew our expectations out of the water and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone. She's got great energy, a caring personality, and is quickly becoming an expert in her field.

In searching for a realtor, I found that most don't like working with short sales, or they want you to sign exclusively with them, both of which made me uneasy. After a thorough search of the Internet however, I finally found my savior in Cindy Marty! Not only does Cindy specialize in short sales whether it's for a buyer like me looking for the best possible deal, or for a seller needing relief, she loves the challenge! She is a very sweet, seasoned professional and is graciously patient with the slow process of a short sale. With her expertise and skill, she knows just when and how to court the deal, stay with it and when needed, get aggressive with the players holding the cards She worked tirelessly to ensure I would be able to get into my awesome home and even to close by the end of the year - something I wasn't sure would actually happen! I was truly impressed with Cindy from the get go. For our first meeting before we even discussed working together, she came prepared with a custom notebook of the areas I was interested in. Knowing I was a green first time buyer, she also included valuable information on the buying process. I immediately felt her charm and her passion for what she does and instantly knew she was going to be my realtor! I'm extremely fortunate to have gone through this journey with Cindy and I highly recommend her. She was always there for me anytime I had questions or wanted to run to a showing. She was constantly on the lookout for properties and she even took time away from her vacation to draft my offer so I'd be the first offer in, which was huge! She's just a great person and a talented real estate professional. If you need someone that knows Los Angeles, especially the West Side and South Bay, someone who loves helping people and an expert in short sales, you gotta call her! She will help you find your perfect place, or help you move on with your life.

I was even having issues with my lender but Cindy stepped in and was able solve all of the issues I had with my lender. She even did a couple of follow ups after my purchase to make sure I was happy with my purchase. Last year I got married and I wanted to get a house and start a family. Before I started looking I reached out to Cindy because of the job she had done for me in 2009. I was amazed at her response when I called her. It had been years since we have spoken but she remembered everything about me and my first purchase. Cindy does not treat her clients as just another transaction but she actually cares and wants to make sure the buying process is fun, streamline but most important comfortable to the buyer. I have recommended Cindy to many of my colleagues, family and friends and have received nothing but positive experiences.

Sometimes it takes another person to ask you, "Do you really need that?" It's a bit expensive but if you want to de-clutter, Beth's your gal.

Just know that she assists more than she actually does the organizing. If I'm paying that much, it would be nice to have it done for me, rather than having smaller piles of paper handed to me.

There were stacks of mail and un-filed papers on every surface in my house. After months of putting off dealing with this, I finally decided that I needed help.

Getting started had been the most difficult part for me, but with Beth's help, I found myself energized and ready to confront what had seemed like an impossible task. Thanks to Bneato's bootcamp, I managed to clear - AND SHRED! - all of the paperwork I had been putting off dealing with for months. She is truly a joy to work with.

First, I just want to say thank you for the outstanding service in helping sell my house by professionally staging it! Simply put, Kimberly exceeded my expectations by totally transforming my custom-built house to a level that made me fall in love with it all over again. I initially paid for a few online digital staging images but kept feeling unimpressed. After meeting with several companies referred to me and others I found on Yelp, I finally decided on UPstageLA. At first, I have to admit to being quite surprised at the expense (furniture staging was the biggest upfront cost of selling my house), but during the walkthrough, Kimberly articulated lovely design ideas and made me feel like I would be in such good hands with her. When the process first began, I noticed how much mental and physical work goes into staging an entire house. Then, once I saw the completed product, I immediately felt the value it brought to selling the house. I truly feel, as many others do, that staging is worth the investment. The pictures speak for themselves, but I also wanted to show my genuine appreciation for UPstageLA. I'm grateful to confidently recommend Kimberly to my friends and family and look forward to doing business with her again in the future!
