Allie is incredible!…read more After relocating to Los Angeles from Washington State, my husband and I spent weekends touring open houses around LA to get a feel for different neighborhoods - and to meet realtors we might want to work with. By total chance, I scheduled a last minute tour through Redfin for a home in Alhambra, and Allie was the agent assigned to me. It ended up being the happiest accident. From the moment we met her, Allie's candidness, warm personality, and sense of humor made us instantly comfortable. We knew right away that she was the person we wanted guiding us through this process. Even with our relatively small list of home requirements, we had one big challenge: finding something between Pasadena and Beverly Hills that fit our (small!) budget. Allie approached it with creativity, deep market knowledge, and thoughtful suggestions that helped us explore areas we might not have considered on our own. We made offers on two homes before landing on the one that was truly meant for us. Through every twist and turn, Allie's honesty, expertise, and steady reassurance kept us grounded. She took the time to explain each step, advocated for us, and made us laugh when we needed it most. I'm so grateful we stumbled upon Allie. We'll absolutely work with her again -- and we encourage everyone we know to do the same.

The five things that come to mind when I reflect on our home purchase with Allie Altschuller of…read moreClarkliving are, professionalism, patience, knowledgeable, understanding and resourcefulness. It was obvious from our first call with Allie that she was extremely knowledgeable of the Pasadena/Altadena area, and where in each of those communities we would feel most at home. From that point on, Allie helped not only to find the perfect home for us, but she also brought in the right team to help identify key items to negotiate a favorable sales agreement. All of this speaks to Allie's negotiating skills, attention to detail, communication and problem-solving skills. It was obvious Allie had a deep understanding of the local market, and was aware of current trends and property values in the neighborhoods that would suit our lifestyle. This was key to our success in finding our new home, as we are moving to SoCal from another state. In far less time that we expected. we found our new home. Then Allie took over to close the deal. During our negotiations, Allie's communication skills and empathy shone brightly in ways that resulted in a very favorable final sales agreement. Allie was also able to identify the issues that mattered most to us and found solutions that were consistently more than satisfactory to us and the seller. Allie was able to explain to us the California real estate market, the sellers' perspective and the new realtor commission environment, which really helped ease the stress of buying a new home. It seemed like Allie was looking out for us like we were part of her family. And Allie didn't leave us after the ink dried. She has continued to be our guiding light in finding solutions to make our new home move in ready, finding the right professionals for the right job. I can't think of any way that Allie couldn't have helped us more.

Why would I trust this group to sell real estate when they come into our neighborhood and trash it?…read more I saw no less than 5 flyers littered on my morning walk plus the one they just dumped into my yard.

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!

From the very first conversation, I knew I was in the hands of someone who not only understood the housing market inside and out--but someone who genuinely cared about me and my experience. Her knowledge of both the broader real estate landscape and the Burbank market specifically is extraordinary. Stefanie walked me through every shift, every rate change, every question I had with such clarity and reassurance. She made a complicated process feel understandable and manageable, even from afar. But what truly meant the world to me was her concierge-level care. I wasn't in the same state while selling my home, and Stefanie handled absolutely everything--repairs, staging, showings, vendor coordination, and a thousand other details I didn't even know to worry about. She managed it all with so much grace that I felt an overwhelming sense of relief, trust, and comfort throughout the entire process. Her pricing strategy and negotiation approach were masterful. She combined data, intuition, and experience in a way that made me feel completely confident every step of the way. The results far exceeded what I hoped for. Stefanie's sense of humor made the experience genuinely enjoyable. Even in the more stressful moments, she knew how to keep things light, positive, and human. Stefanie isn't just a realtor--she's a true partner, a guide, and someone who shows up with her whole heart. I would recommend Stefanie Pollack to anyone looking for not only an expert, but an extraordinary human being. She is a rare gem, and I am endlessly grateful for her.

Commitment - She was committed to making sure she does everything in her power to get it done. Knowledge - Not only was she selling my home but selling the whole city. She knew so much about the area that made all the difference. Approachable - She was very down to earth and was able to connect with all possible buyers and made the whole process with the two sides easy, smooth, and professional. She is truly one of a kind and I was lucky to have worked with her. Thank you Stefanie for all your hard work and efforts

We've been clients of Mica's for both buying and selling our home. We left a 5 star review already…read morefor her as a buyer's agent--and she was fantastic. Now, as our sellers agent, she deserves all the more stars in the world. About a week after we called her saying we might want to sell, she lined everything up: the best photographer, the perfect marketing strategy, the list of things we needed to do to stage. We had set the asking price based on recently sold comps in our neighborhood, but she marketed our house so well that we ended up with almost 30 offers within a week, and ultimately sold for more than 200k over asking and far above the comps we based our price on. She showed the property almost 100 times, all day every day for a week, to make sure everyone who wanted to see it and make an offer could. But it isn't just her stellar marketing strategy and work ethic that makes you want Mica in your corner as your seller's agent. We ended up with an extremely difficult close due to a surprise dispute with our neighbor that made us need to lean heavily on Mica. Even though she's in top demand and had lots of other clients, she made herself available at all hours to help us resolve the dispute. She was strategic, helped us keep our goals in mind, and had impeccable calm and judgment in the middle of a difficult multi-party negotiation. She's also an above-and-beyond kind and thoughtful person. We asked her if she had any recommendations of real estate agents in the city we're moving to, figuring she might know some folks offhand. Instead, she researched top agents in the city, vetted them all personally, then sent us a list of the three she thought we would like the most. We wish Mica would move with us and buy our next house with us. It just won't be the same without her.

She knows the city's areas inside out as well as the market and the business of buying real estate. She listened carefully, came to understand what I was looking for and didn't suggest I look at places that weren't going to work for me. I'm picky, but I never felt she was impatient with me. This is my first home purchase and I was nervous as a cat about the whole process. She was so patient and calm with me, it really helped. I am amazed at how quickly she always got back to me considering how busy her schedule is. It always felt like she was relaxed and had plenty of time for me. When I was in despair, she reassured me that I would find a place and she was right. It happened just in the timing and way she suggested it would. She's a pleasure to hang out with, which you will be doing, since finding a home is a lengthy process, or at least it was for me! She knew how to guide the process without overwhelming me with details so that it felt easy and effortless. She's intelligent and a good communicator and could clearly explain the answers to my many questions. I wanted a condo on the east side, and this was a special area of expertise for her, so I feel especially lucky. An additional plus was that she is good at problem solving in terms of working out how furnishing a place would work, storage solutions, etc etc. She seems to be a natural organizer with lots of good ideas and no lack of interest and engagement for each client. I can't say enough good things about my process with Mica. I found the real estate process emotionally difficult at times, and she was such an important source of support. I have the home of my dreams now, as well as a new friend! :)

Since one of my fellow friends from grade school recommended Bob for sale of family's home in…read moreWestchester, I took his referral vs. more ' reasonable' choices we have to sell real estate. Since we are all old Catholics, I was under an impression from my referral to Bob that he may show some 'favor' since we are old altar boys. Well, in short order, Mr.Waldron made it very clear that I was not eligible for any discounts by virtue of our so-called religion. During the sales process, I was entirely taken care of by his counterpart with any/all communications where I was hoping he would handle us with some kit gloves by virtue of his 'reputation' from our mutual friend. Rarely did I receive an update other than communications how the market forces that came into play I already had knowledge of. I am not a plebe regarding real estate transactions or discussions how the economic forces plays a role. Here is one of the reason's I am leaving California; In my travels, it is easily noticed how other states show their veterans some favor by virtue of their service. When asked for any discount, he was adamant that it was not available to me. So if you 'think' you are eligible for any discount by virtue of your service or relation with the 'creator', this man is not your choice. He is cordial, however if you are seeking any favor look somewhere else. Made me feel like no matter how decent, good, God fearing I am does not matter. And since California no longer shows respect to your veterans I am no longer interested by this differential treatment. Just follow the money. Left me with a taste in my mouth that said: Red, White and Blue - spit on you. I only speak the truth and if you don't like it that is your free will. Have a wonderful day folks!

This review is for Bobbie Stark, who is part of Bob Waldron's team!…read more Now that the whirlwind of home-buying has come to an end, and we are settling into our new home, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to Bobbie Stark. I am so fortunate to have found her to represent my husband and I while buying our first home in Westchester. We both really felt that she always had our best interests at heart and feel we got one of the best deals in town. My journey with Bobbie began about 5 years ago, when she showed us a listing on Alberta in the Del Rey area. The moment I met her, there was something that made me say, "Bobbie is our gal!" I appreciated her honesty, genuineness, and knowledge of the buying process, and in our case, the short sale process. I never felt pressured to buy a home and she was there for us whenever I saw a listing and wanted more information. She quickly responded to my inquiries, phone calls and emails. As the process went forward, she was right there to reassure us whenever we had questions or concerns. Since we bought our home, Bobbie has checked in on us to make sure everything has been handled properly along the way and just to say, "Hi!" I think it is unique that she actually desires to continue a relationship with her clients even after the sale is complete. In addition, she has helped us by giving us referrals for an electrician, plumber, hardwood floor refinisher, and has connected us to the many great resources in the Westchester area. I do not believe most agents are this committed or thorough. I would highly recommend Bobbie Stark to anyone looking for an agent to represent them during a sale. Not only did we find the perfect agent, we found a friend. If you unsure about retaining her as your agent, feel free to contact me and I would be happy to talk about my experience.

Homes were/are selling almost as fast as they're being listed on the market and I felt like it was going to be nearly impossible for me to land a house that met all the characteristics I was looking for. Marina is a very sharp, intelligent and caring agent. She is very quick to answer calls. She took her time in understanding what I was looking for and she was actively helping me through the process of searching. We went through multiple bidding wars but she gave me her honest opinion on where to draw the line when going higher on a property so that I wouldn't make a bad financial decision and I am extremely grateful for that. When we found the property of my dreams she got us a viewing same day despite any obstacles. She goes beyond her duty and that is one of the reasons we were able to get that house. She fights for you like she is buying it for herself and she helps you to get the most out of the deal. She guided me through the entire process with confidence, ease, and encouragement. She gave excellent advice when I needed it and was more than just an agent, she was like a friend/ a sister/ like a family member constantly looking out for my best interest. That's way more than I expected to find in an agent and Marina will be the only agent I use for all my real estate needs going forward. If you want an agent who actually cares about you as a person and not just a sale, you want Marina. Thank you again Marina for everything. -Melina

She guided us and was present through every step--marketing, showings, negotiations, and closing--always with kindness and patience. Thanks to her hard work, we sold our home for above asking price. When it came time to find our next home, Marina once again went above and beyond. She found us a beautiful home in the area we wanted, right when we needed it, and made the transition smooth and stress-free. Selling and moving after so many years was emotional and challenging, but Marina's professionalism, care, and expertise made all the difference. We couldn't have done it without her! Sherry M
