As the trusted real estate advisor for my clients, I understand that selling and/or buying a home is complex and deeply personal. This perspective on the process and the responsibility felt towards my clients drives me to truly be an expert at the job. I understand the market, the players, and all of the variables involved in a real estate transaction. I
want to make sure you feel supported and that you have a trusted advisor by your side. As a seller, you want to effectively (and beautifully) market the home and then negotiate to secure the highest possible price and cleanest terms for the sale. As a buyer, you want a patient, yet assertive partner to help to buy the right home for you, at the best possible price. In other words, you want to make sure you don’t leave any money on the table. This is where I step into partner with you as your consultant, negotiator and project manager. Here are a few reviews from past Clients:
Mario and Melissa Sale South Pasadena:
Sold 15% over asking price. Ian was amazing to work with when we bought AND sold our home. He is very professional, organized, and helped us work through all the details to make the processes go smoothly. I would highly recommend him! Shawn and Julia, Purchase Mount Washington
It was really great working with Ian on our home purchase. He has a great eye for properties, pointing out potential locations and homes that we would have missed without his insight. The process from searching to closing was unbelievably smooth as Ian was always on his game; we closed in 15 days! His care for his work and the people he works with is an obvious asset. Sam and Matthew Sale in Studio City:
We interviewed a wide range of realtors- from aggressive sharks to high end and celebrity realtors- and settled on Ian because he had the perfect combination of go-getter drive, in-depth local knowledge about Studio City hills, and a calm confident demeanor that allowed us to trust completely handing things over to him from day one. I have bought and sold multiple homes and this process could not have been any better. We received and accepted a pre-market offer after just one day of previews and he helped ensure a quick closing process. Because of his help he made our move from LA to NYC completely seamless and low-stress. I could not recommend him more highly. Fernando and Amelia Sale in Castaic:
Ian was the best realtor to take care of the sale of our property. Definitely an improvement from my previous experiences. He's a team player. He was able to listen and establish a realistic rapport and empathy with us, which sometimes becomes a whole ordeal when the realtor tries to impose their thoughts in order to make a quick sale. He was relentless in his efforts to sell the property and very creative as well. A pleasure doing business with Ian. Great professional and maybe as important, a very fine person. Bill and Christy Purchase Valley Glen:
Ian really helped us through a stressful process as first-time home buyers. We had a narrow time frame to find a place, so he kept us on track with a continual feed of new prospects. He knew our areas well, was knowledgeable and informative, and guided us over the bumps. He has good relationships with other agents and is great at getting the "inside scoop" on properties. His encouragement and upbeat attitude were very much appreciated. We highly recommend him! Judy and Walter Sale Lake Balbo Purchase Studio City:
My husband Walt and I met Ian at an open house a little over a year ago. We didn't have a realtor at the time and immediately took a liking to him. We first worked with him on the purchase of our dream home in Sherman Oaks and then on the sale of our current home at the time in Lake Balboa. Ian did everything in his power to make both transactions as easy and stress free as possible. Ian is patient, kind, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I highly recommend his services. Aleksandra and Matt Condo Purchase Sherman Oaks:
Aleksandra: Buying first home is stressful enough and I honestly can’t imagine going through it with any other agent than Ian. We would not have gotten our amazing (town)home in a such a short time and with the best deal possible thanks to his exceptional negotiating skills. The whole time I felt I’m in a good hands. I would, and I do, recommend Ian to all my friends and family. Matt: Working with Ian has made our first purchase so much easier then we ever thought it might be. I can honestly say he is one of the good guys. No nonsense, no games - which I can’t say for the seller’s agent. Ian was very resourceful, helpful and patient. We will definitely be working with Ian again in the future! David and Jody Sale in Malibu/Calabasas then Purchase in Pasadena:
My husband and I met Ian at an open house and immediately clicked. Ian represented us over a lengthy sale and escrow process that included natural disasters ( Malibu fire). Ian was always available to answer my questions and calm my frayed nerves. He had excellent relationships with other realtors and was able to hold a very difficult deal together
Ian represented us on the sale of our old home in Calabasas and the purchase of our new home in Pasadena. Diligently and adeptly, he held both transactions together, guiding the inexperienced and sometimes stumbling buyer of our home through a protracted financing and closing process, while simultaneously placating an impatient seller who grew increasingly anxious with delays (our purchase contract contained a sale contingency clause). Ian is responsive, diligent and dedicated, and a pleasure to work with. Mario and Melissa Condo Purchase South Pasadena:
A little skeptical of what we would endure in looking and purchasing a home, we met Ian and basically all our worries were gone! We met Ian at an open house and "stumbled" upon the best realtor anyone could ask for! Our home was an off-market sale with a difficult seller and agent on the other side, Ian was our guy and made the whole process stress-free. Many obstacles that come with the process of buying a home, We thank Ian for everything he did to make our purchase happen! When we plan to sell and purchase a new home, Ian will be the one we will call! We highly recommend Ian to anyone for their Real Estate needs! Thank you Ian, thank you for everything!!! Vanessa 8 unit income property Eagle Rock:
Ian is very experienced and knowledgeable in real estate transactions. he helped us acquire our ideal property when there were five other cash offers competing. we have worked with agents who become nasty and difficult when the negotiations get tough. not with Ian, he remains calm and cool, nice and kind! Ian is ethical, reliable and has become a friend during the time we worked together. we would recommend Ian with no reservation!
