As a first time home buyer, I was anxious and nervous to begin the home buying process- especially…read morein a market like this. From the very beginning, Kai made it clear that we were in it together. Any questions I had (and there were MANY questions), he would take the time to ensure I understood. He had so much patience and prioritized understanding exactly what we were looking for in our home. He constantly checked in with us to make sure we weren't feeling too overwhelmed, and made me feel confident that our desires and happiness were his priorities. He never made me feel like I was "bothering" him by requesting to view multiple homes in a week. Kai was so encouraging and reassured us that this market is tough right now and to not get discouraged throughout the process. He always knew the right home would come along and he was right! Once in escrow, the process was smooth and Kai made sure we were on top of all documents and requirements. He also referred us to a great Mortgage Loan Officer who also played a vital role in our home buying process! We found our perfect home and I can't thank Kai enough for his support and hard work. I'm confident that Kai can help you find your perfect home too.

We conduct our business very seriously and professionally, and our expectations are high. This was our first time to work with Mr. Kai Yager and Ms. Yumi Yager. But, they exceeded our expectations and sold our house in a matter of one weekend with over 15 offers. Toward the end, actually my partner and I had to ask them to stop accepting offers because there were too many offers - good offers. What they were great at was their preparations and marketing. As you know, first thing for everyone to do is to determine how much we are going to ask for the house. Asking Price is the key factor to be successful in real estate business - cannot be too high and cannot be too low. Kai and Yumi brought 5 -6 comps with them, analyzed and explained each one of them to us, and sure enough the Asking Price they came up with and what we were in our minds were exactly the same. That was impressive. Once we determined the price, they put our house not only on MLS listing site, but on Social Media Marketing sites, sent out physical post cards to the neighbors, and had a Broker Open House before our official Open House. They are professional and hard workers. They are also responsible and honest with good heart. Those are the skills all the real estate agents should have, and sure they do. I have no hesitation to recommend both Mr. Kai Yager and Ms. Yumi Yager as your next real estate agent!! You will be in great hands like we were!!! Sincerely, Reiko Tamura

He is professional, experienced, and have definitely gone out of his way to help me find a place I now call home in Pasadena. He shared information (that are not generally available on various real estate apps/websites) about the different apartments I was interested in, which helped with my shortlist of potentials. And he presented it in an organized and easily digestible way. Jason is a strong negotiator and helped me save over $25K for my apartment. Even the selling agent noted his persistency and follow-ups, which made this sale successful and a win for me as a buyer. Jason worked hard for me to find a suitable lender that offered me the lowest interest rates in the market, which meant more savings!! Thanks again Jason!! Beyond the sale, he continued to keep in touch and has groups of service providers for any post-sale needs. I'll be reaching out to Jason again for future home buying/selling needs.

Pete is a real estate magician! With a whirlwind decision we went from idly looking at out of…read morestate properties to suddenly needing to sell our West LA home in a hurry. Pete set up a home estimate, a consultation with a home staging expert, photography, videography, and virtual tour capture within days of contact. He made sure we could get maximum impact within our set time frame and with minimal preparation cost. We were show-ready and listed in a week and a half. Private showings went smoothly and were grouped together to make sure we weren't too inconvenienced when we had to vacate. When you're in the middle of both buying and selling a home, it's really nice to have someone value your time! Our house was marked as a Hot Home on Redfin right off the bat and we received multiple offers well over asking within 4 days of listing. Post-sale process was smooth and communication remained excellent throughout. Escrow closed right on time and with no issues whatsoever. Pete even went the extra mile and took care of the house even after we'd moved out of state before closing. It's invaluable to have a real estate agent that really knows the neighborhood and can make a property really shine. Pete works his butt off for you, really listens to your priorities, never pressures you to make one decision over another, and gets top dollar. I wouldn't dream of going with any other agent in the West LA area!
