Another testimonial from an ecstatic client: My wife Yvonne and I met Eric Freed and Mike Ron at an open house that we happened to drive by in the Ocean Park area of Santa Monica. Though the house was not really for us, Eric called me later that evening and asked me what we were looking for.  We did mention a property in Santa Monica that we had been trying to get into look at for a few weeks and he got us in to see this property almost immediately! As Eric and Ron showed us more places, we refined our price range and neighborhoods and got to know our taste better, they ended up showing us 3 properties which we were very interested in.  During the entire process they provided all the information and assistance we needed to be comfortable in the purchase process, giving us both the pros and cons.   They were both very professional and never tried to push in a direction that we were not comfortable with, and also held our hands through the entire confusing escrow, inspection process, and advised us at every turn. At the end of the day, we ended up finding a great condo which we felt that we purchased for under the market value in the Brentwood neighborhood, and since we moved in, our neighbor across the hall has put his condo on the market for about 10% more than we purchased our unit for, so we feel very happy all around with this transaction.   We would highly recommend them both as very professional and knowledgeable buyer´s agents.

Teng Jewelry Specialist at Sotheby´s Beverly Hills      Another testimonial from an ecstatic client:     "I have had the pleasure of knowing Michelle for over 7 years.  We have become close friends, based primarily on trust.  My husband and I put our trust in Michelle to refinance our home and consolidate debt.  The refinance wasn't straightforward due to various conditions, but Michelle persevered and saved us significant money.  Then, when we decided to sell out home, we again went to Michelle for help.  Michelle was an excellent agent!  She was professional and gave us the information we needed to make the right decisions.  She guided and supported us throughout the selling process, resulting in another successful transaction.  We are so fortunate to have Michelle as our real estate consultant." -Eileen Spann Dear Bobbie and Judy, Gregg and I would like to offer out thanks and sincere appreciation for your assistance in selling our condominium. We were very impressed with your professionalism, thoroughness, and ability to get the message out so quickly once we put the property up for sale. In a matter of weeks, our condo was under contract at a price $46,000 higher than our stated bottom line price! You helped us achieve the almost impossible, and now we are eagerly anticipating the purchase of our new home - with our down payment in hand! As people, both of you were a pleasure to work with! Easy to talk to, good listeners, easy to contact, and always prompt at returning our calls or answering our questions. Best of all, you made it clear to us that you made it to your job to help us meet OUR goals rather than your own! We would highly recommend both of you to anyone considering the selling or purchase of a home! Sincerely, Leslie and Gregg Daniel Dear Judy and Bobbie: We want to express our sincerest thanks and appreciation for your wonderfully meticulous work. Without your perseverance and diligence we would nto have found our new home. You both went beyond the call when you offered to sell our house, a process that had previously poorly handled by another realtor. Despite the fact that our property was outside your normal area, you adeptly matched us with a terrific buyer. You handled the entire process with professionalism and attention to detail, affording us peace of mind. When the time came to begin our home search; you diligently sifted through listings and matched us with a property that fit both our wishes and our budget. Despite the obstacles of a sometimes inflexible seller's agent, you protected our interests and worked steadfastly on our behalf. It is your seemingly inexhaustible confidence, enthusiasm, care and effort that made the difference. Not only did you help us purchase our new home, but you've been invaluable in assisting us with finding fantastic trades people to make the improvements we wanted. Thank you for a remarkable experience. Your Friends, Mr and Mrs. Kowalski Dear Mike and Bobbie, Thank you for your outstanding service and professional dedication on my real estate matter for over the years. Having worked with many brokers and agents over the years, I can say that you guys are the best. It has been a pleasure to work with you and I am pleased to recommend you and your firm for any real estate transaction. I have worked with Micha and Bobbie on a number of real estate transactions; many of which involved complex legal financial, and other real estate issues. You have always displayed the highest professional ability and I thank you for your knowledge, understanding, hard work, and patience. On the occasions where we have worked together, I appreciate your "going the extra mile" to ensure that my interests were handled properly. Best Regards, Barry Cohen Dear Mike, This is a short note of appreciation for your excellent work on my behalf. Not only for your assistance in selling my townhouse in Santa Monica for more than the original asking price but for your effort and energy in seeking out a new place for me to buy. The professionalism you demonstrated, getting to know my likes and dislikes, my taste in architectual style and my style of living made it easy for me to view properties you suggested. You did you homework and I didn't waste time on places you knew I wouldn't care for. You found the perfect place for me to buy, in the price range I was willing to spend. You've made it enjoyable. Thanks. Sincerely, Julie
