"I worked with Amy to purchase my first home and she was great to work with. Besides Amy knowing the market and negotiating on my behalf, what I value her the most is the ability to listen and communicate with complete transparency. She was able to get me the home with multiple offers and her relationships with other agents helped solidify the home. When I got into escrow, she was able to guide me through the process and also communicated with my lender to make sure everything was on schedule. Needless to say during Covid-19, it was a smooth transaction. I would highly recommend Amy!" - Arman S.

Client Testimonials
★★★★★
"We needed a buyer's agent for the Westside and after interviewing Amy, we knew immediately she would be great to work with. Although we were one of several clients she was working with, Amy always made time for us. We appreciate the fact that we were able to work with her directly (not through an assistant) throughout the whole process. She answered all our questions promptly day and night and we went to open houses together. Once we found our desired home in West LA, Amy helped us put in the best possible offer. She enabled us to beat 5 competing offers, even though we weren't the highest bidder! We bought during the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic which was slowing everything down, but with Amy's help, we closed ahead of schedule. We highly recommend Amy and can't imagine using anyone else.
It's clear Amy is a professional in the field and her expertise really helped us buy our dream home. Thanks, Amy!!" - Annmarie G.

"Amy was an incredible agent and partner during my home buying journey (during COVID-19)!
As a first-time home buyer in LA, I had a million questions daily. Amy was always amazing at answering them quickly and patiently. She truly guided me through this process and I trusted her immediately from the start.
I was working with a different agent before I partnered with Amy. The prior agent was not a good fit and Amy was super respectful to that relationship and did not step on any boundaries. Once I decided to end that partnership with the old agent, I immediately started working wtih Amy and my house hunting experience improved by 1000% instantly!
I was relocating from San Francisco to LA, so Amy was fantastic about doing Facetime walk-throughs and calling me afterwards to discuss next steps. I never felt like I was missing out in the market by not being there in-person. So if you are out of town, she can make it easy for you to get going.
She is really knowledgeable about LA and very well-connected with other LA realtors. I would ask questions about LA buildings and she knew specifics which was super helpful! With the home I purchased, her relationship with the selling agent was a strong point and really helped push the deal through (even though there was another offer on the table that was higher).
I had a specific location in mind (West Hollywood) and wanted a certain type of place there. Because of Amy, I was able to not only get the home I wanted -- but one that blew my expectations in my price range (which was NOT easy!) :)
She works hard, is honest, and truly wants you to find your dream home. I would highly recommend Amy to my friends, family and co-workers anytime.
And for selling my home down the road and for home #2, I will 100% work with Amy!" - Pamela K.

"If you are looking for an agent, please look no further. My husband and I were first time home buyers in the most competitive market during covid. Without knowing better we had gone with a different agent who was super nice but unfortunately had only a couple of years in experience. Needless to say, after bidding on multiple homes, we were not able to purchase anything. After a good friend referred us to Amy, we truly understood how important and invaluable a good agent is. Amy was beyond knowledgeable, responsive and had an answer to ever single question/concern that we had. Moreover, within months, we were able to purchase our dream home in one of the most sought after communities. It was a pocket listing too! Truly unbelievable.
During escrow, Amy was then able to maneuver us through so many additional issues that we would never have even imagined. Ever single time there was a problem, Amy was able to solve it and truly took all of the stress and worry away. She was invaluable and we truly could not have gotten our dream home without her.
If you are on the fence, please do yourself a favor and give Amy a call. She is one of the most genuine, smartest agents you will find with an amazing network of contacts that she has maintained through her amazing people skills. She truly is gem and I could not possibly express her value in words." - e k.
