He was also generous in connecting us with trusted vendors before we even signed a listing agreement, which gave us the flexibility to decide whether to sell or rent during a slower market. His marketing package was comprehensive, including a professional website, aerials, videos, 2D and 3D floor plans, bilingual marketing materials, and even included professional cleaning. Everything was coordinated in a timely manner to prepare for Coming Soon, Listing, and Open House weekend. Jerry also hired wonderful people. Mandy, his marketing assistant, was friendly and incredibly easy to work with. She had a great eye for showcasing our home and was speedy and attentive with all the detailed edits on the website, descriptions, photos, and flyers. Photographer Michael captured the house beautifully with a variety of angles and brilliant lighting, and Justina went above and beyond in cleaning the house, windows, and garage. In addition to his team, it's obvious that Jerry has solid working relationships with his recommended vendors. Everyone gave the impression that they would treat Jerry's clients well with proper attention, fair pricing, and diligent work to present our home well. Yumi created a thoughtful mood board that helped us visualize how the staging would look. She was generous in sharing design advice and honest about what would and wouldn't work, even for areas we planned to decorate ourselves. Mr. Zhuo rearranged his schedule to make sure everything was finished in time and done in a quality manner knowing Jerry's professional standards. He was very responsive, humble, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable. All the preparations paid off when multiple offers came in. Jerry walked us through multiple strategies, shared his recommendations, and was flexible in going with what we were most comfortable with. Near the finish line, Jerry took the initiative to come up with a solution that got buy-in from all parties and sealed the deal before the weekend. We greatly appreciate him for that! Jerry's support went beyond what's expected of a real estate agent. Throughout the process, he helped check on our house and even brought quality food to feed our neighborhood cat. We are truly grateful for that, especially knowing how busy he was. It speaks to Jerry's kind character, which makes him even more nice to work with.

I can't speak highly enough of Jerry. I met Jerry initially in 2015, and I was immediately…read moreimpressed by his professionalism, knowledge, and enthusiasm. Fast forward ten years later, I still had not met another realtor who I would have trusted more than Jerry to sell my condo. It is not easy to sell a condo in the current market with high interest rates and newly enacted laws, especially as an out-of-state seller, but Jerry was able to help me jump through the hoops and persevere and got the condo successfully sold. I highly recommend Jerry to anyone who plans to sell his/her home in LA.

She gave us solid advice at every stage and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel much more manageable. She's also a strong negotiator and always made us feel like she was looking out for our best interests. Would absolutely recommend Grace to anyone buying or selling in the San Gabriel Valley.

Joan came highly recommended by a friend who has used her several times to sell some of his properties in the San Gabriel Valley. When we first met Joan, we were instantly impressed by how much homework she did on our particular area, and how to best market the house. The house sold very quickly, and for a price well above our best expectations. Joan was also instrumental in connecting us with qualified contractors to help with moving, clearing out, cleaning, and repairs to get the property ready. All were great and reasonably priced. Using Joan and her team just made everything so easy. Joan is always personally available to handle all the many steps that happen in selling a house. And when she is away, Lilian and Dave are her team members who are right there to take calls and provide anything needed. We felt very well taken care of by Joan and her team at Compass during every step in this process. I highly recommend Joan Bang from Compass. Thanks Joan, Lilian, and Dave! Job well done!

We had been to many open…read morehouses in the area due to our search for a home with a range of experiences from not greeting us or talking to us at all to being totally friendly and answering our questions, but not being able to answer because they weren't the actual listing agent and didn't know much about the property and everything in between. However, something was very obviously and immediately different about Laura that we hadn't seen. You can tell that she really loves what she does and is passionate about the process. I was impressed by her compassion towards us, her care and attention to the property and her sellers and even having an extra event and inviting the neighbors. Who does that? Anyone would be lucky to work with her and I would definitely recommend her.

The Berns team was a dream to work with on our condo sale. From the very start, Jason and Laura…read moreBerns immediately stood out to us for their professionalism, responsiveness, and well thought out plan about how they would sell our property. They also reacted to us touring them around our unit in real time, and I felt more confident as they were honest with what they would do or change from the outset, rather than saying what they thought I might want to hear. They have deep expertise, selling over 100 properties a year, so they have a very good beat on the current market and what works to sell your home to meet your goals (in our case, we hoped to reach a certain price quickly because we already had plans to move out). The team is deep and goes beyond just Jason and Laura. They have several other team members that specialize in different services, as well. We interacted with Alex and Mike who helped us ready our property for the open houses, and were always available to answer questions. If you wish, they will also put together a "transformation contract" where they will pay up front for work to be done to the property (e.g., painting, handyman jobs, staging) and then will take their payment out of escrow after the property sells. Also, the team does not take any percentage of those quotes - all the money goes to the contractors. To me, this not only reflected their confidence in their ability to sell the property, but also was just genuinely helpful from a cash flow perspective, while also supporting local contractors. We went this route, and it was quite amazing, as they managed everything from scheduling, to letting people in the house, payment, etc. It was a seamless process. Then when once we got an offer, their transaction manager, Alma, was super helpful in answering all of our questions about the closing process. I was initially a little concerned after we signed to work with them and I saw all the other properties they were currently selling as pretty much all of them were substantially more expensive than our property as they were luxury single family homes. In other words, I was worried we could be seen as lower priority because we wouldn't make them nearly as much money as sales of these other properties. However, not once during the entire process did I feel that way in practice. Our questions and concerns were always responded to immediately, and above and beyond what I expected. I had a fair bit of anxiety during the process as it was the first time we had sold a property, but Laura was there to sooth my anxieties and help me through every stage of the process. Jason, Laura and the entire team are not only pros, but just great and kind people. I cannot think of any feedback I would provide in a constructive manner as we were very happy, well informed throughout the whole process and ended up with a result we were very happy with. I would absolutely work with the Berns team again and recommend them whole heartedly.

You couldn't ask for a better agent than Alex.

I would constantly find her rolling up her sleeves to crawl under a house to check the foundation and plumbing. On every walkthrough she'd point out the details worth loving and the potential pitfalls worth knowing about, with the instinctive read of someone who's an expert in her field and genuinely loves the work. Her mix of deep experience and curiosity was invaluable every step of the way. She was always available for my first-time-buyer questions and was refreshingly honest, providing clear insight into when to push forward and when to walk away. And, most importantly, she was simply a delightful and cool person to work with, making the process of landing my dream home in the LA real estate market seem like a breeze.

She's easy to work with and highly collaborative. She has a great support system around her which enables her to accommodate our circumstances (contractors, staging, escrow, etc). She laid out the proposal from start to finish and it's really impressive how on point it was. Where she really shines is her attention to detail from an interior design perspective to ensure your home draws the maximum amount of attention and opportunities. Throughout she was hands-on with checking in on the property, inspections, and giving me the rundown of each open house session. If you're looking to optimize your home buying or selling experience, I would highly recommend Alex. She has competitive commissions and it's definitely money well spent.

First of all - they text you! So you can quickly tap and see their suggestions on available inventory. I work fulltime and freelance so the only time I reply to emails is when its work related, my personal agenda tends to get pushed til 11pm or later. But since they text me, if I'm getting a quick bite I can skim easier and reply with "lets take a tour" or "pass"! Secondly, Camille is super sweet, patient, and kind. She has shown me so many properties, and each time when I felt let down she always encourages me that theres something out there. In 2020 I worked with a different agent and she said that to me too, but she was always late or gave me the code whenever there was a showing. Not Camille - she always showed up. As moral support, guidance, especially if you're buying for the first time and alone. Lastly, once you set your eyes on it, Allison shoots over docusign like target on a bullseye. Quick & efficient, and even after I got the condo I troubled them for some questions and they still answered (did not get the vibe like the sale is done and theyre like byeeee) I'll be going to them for selling & buying in the future.

So, I actually found Mike through ChatGPT when I searched for top agents in the area, Mike came up first.

I had interviewed a few other agents, but knew Mike was the right person to work with based on his track record and his kind demeanor. Selling my first home was bittersweet, but Mike made the process feel steady and manageable. His communication is honestly next level, always responsive, proactive, and patient, especially when walking me through paperwork and answering my (many) questions. Even coming from a commercial real estate background, I can say residential is a different world, and Mike handled it all with ease. Mike is a great agent, someone you trust, and someone you want in your circle. He is 100% authentic and sincere. I highly recommend him, you will not regret working with Mike.
