Client Testimonials

"I bought my first Condo in Los Angeles and I couldn't imagine a better partner than Audrey. She was extremely responsive via text, even late at night, and when I told her that this was my first attempt to purchase and I knew nothing about the process she made sure to go over any questions I had in enough detail to make me feel comfortable. I knew nothing about the loan seeking process, getting appraisals and inspections, what to look for, reading through all the documentation, etc. Audrey took the time to tell me in detail everything I needed to know. When we started looking Audrey was not pushy at all, let me pick out properties I was interested in and recommended similar ones. She very quickly set up viewings for anything that I said I wanted to see, and was incredibly accommodating on time for the viewings. Once I decided on a property, Audrey was proactive in making sure that the process moved smoothly. She quickly responded to any concerns I had, worked out meetings, inspections, and communications with the seller and the HOA to make sure everything was on track. It gave me a lot of peace of mind to know that she was always ontop of things. I really can't recommend her enough, she made a very stressful process much more bearable and easy to understand, and I ended up with something that I really really love. " - Myrrar

"Audrey will always put you first and go above and beyond to make sure the process is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. If you're thinking about having her as an agent, just do it- you won't regret it. I wish I could give more stars in this review; Audrey deserves it. I started looking for a home just before the pandemic started (Jan 2020), and even though lockdowns and quarantines have made viewing and purchasing harder, Audrey has never faltered in going above and beyond. This is my first home purchase, and as such I had little to no idea about what the process would look like, the timelines, or anything to do with the offer process. Audrey helped put my mind as ease, explaining how everything works and walked me through step by step, also including example forms and templates, allowing me to prep the information needed for offers beforehand. Despite a lot of the documentation being legal jargon and basically Greek to me, she was able to simplify and explain what each document was for, the specific implications, and what it meant to sign a document. As a completely new buyer, I greatly appreciated this attention to detail and it helped me enjoy the search and offer process as opposed to stressing all the time about it. The market I was looking to buy in was already extremely competitive, and with the pandemic hitting the US, it only got worse. But even through all the world craziness going on, Audrey was incredibly responsive and prompt when we had to move fast to meet deadlines. Many times I would have questions or need information after hours and late into the night, and she would always respond promptly. On top of this, despite my area being known for its terrible traffic, and quite a drive for her, she was never late to any showings or appointments and always took the time to drive out even if we were uncertain whether or not I would put an offer in. I am and will be forever grateful to her for touring the units to me and pointing out things that I would have never thought of or overlooked. Audrey never faltered in making sure I was satisfied with the offers I wrote, making sure I was comfortable with the conditions and amount. I never felt pressured into writing an offer I wasn't comfortable with, and she also was able to get a read on sellers and where they were at/inform me what a competitive offer might look like for any unit. Ultimately it was this that helped me get an offer accepted, and go through the closing process. I never had to reach out to her to prompt the next step; she linked up with my mortgage, escrow, insurance, and other agents and made sure everything was running smoothly. In fact, usually it was me who would be the limiting factor, pending my choices and decisions. I will absolutely choose to have Audrey as my agent again whenever I decide to upgrade, buy another, or sell my house, and I strongly encourage anyone considering her to do the same. " - Client

"As a first time homebuyer, I feel very lucky that I was able to work with Audrey and successfully purchase my house in the midst of an incredibly competitive market. Audrey came highly recommended by a friend who is a real estate lawyer and she did not disappoint. From the very beginning of the process Audrey was super helpful, responsive and always looking out for my best interests. She was always prompt and did not mind going to lots of showings every weekend as I narrowed down which area of LA I wanted to be in. She always did research on the houses before we saw them so she could point out to me any red flags she saw related to unpermitted work, previous sales or quirks in the sale (like tenant occupied etc). When we would walk into a house she would immediately begin inspecting it and seeing things that to my untrained eye I would have missed -- like very small cracks in walls, uneven floors, work done not to code. She helped me to understand what were projects that I could handle and which would be way too much to take on. I ended up making offers on multiple properties (common in the market right now) and she was always very thorough and made the process easy. When it finally came down to negotiating on the house I purchased she was zealous in fighting for me with the seller, and also extremely thorough in making sure that all inspections were done. She even climbed into the attic crawl space and onto the roof herself to see something one of the inspectors had mentioned in his report! It was truly above and beyond service that made me feel like she really had my back through the entire process. We have now been in our house for two months and are so happy. It is really exactly what we wanted and we paid well below the asking price in a super competitive market. So grateful for all of Audrey's help, I really could not have done it without her and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the LA area. " - Lindsay T.

"Audrey’s role in our experience as home buyers in the most competitive market in history, made all the difference in our ability to buy the house we wanted. She was always responsive and an excellent source of information regarding the entire buying process, lenders, house potential, etc. Not only we won our house against another 12 buyers, but after that point the process was smooth too thanks to Audrey’s professionalism. We couldn’t be more happy to have her as our agent again or to recommend her. " - Ileana K.

"Audrey is by far the best agent I've ever worked with. She skillfully advised and navigated us through one of the hottest markets in California and helped us secure our dream home. Her impeccable communication skills, timely responses and helpful anecdotes made the process much less stressful. The home buying process was quite the roller coaster with other bidders offering all cash, waiving contingencies, and bidding far over list. We ended up having to submit 5+ offers before we landed on our current place. Throughout the whole process Audrey was incredibly driven and positive. If I'm ever in the market again, I'm going with Audrey. " - Rohit

"The moment we met Audrey, she was not only kind, courteous, and caring, but she was also very knowledge, professional, and goal-oriented. Thus, when we entrusted her to sell our condo, I knew she would be an excellent person for the job. She was very knowledgeable about the market we were selling in and presented her research to us in a very in-depth yet easy to understand type of manner that allowed us to make as best and educated of a decision as possible each step of the way. She was also very responsive to our needs and requests, and I never had to worry about her commitment as she would always pull through for us and be working tirelessly to make sure our end goals were met. At the end of the day, we were able to sell at the price we want in less than a week!!! This was so amazing as we really wanted to sell well and sell fast as we were already ready to move into our new home. Overall, you all should use Audrey because SHE WILL ALWAYS GO ABOVE AND BEYOND for her clients as we experienced this first hand!!! SHE IS THE BEST!!! " - Calvin C.

"5 stars are not enough to do Audrey justice. We just closed on a house with her as our buyer's agent. Audrey went above and beyond to educate us about neighborhoods, the buying process, the tradeoffs (buying a turnkey place or remodeling extensively). She made the process as pain free as possible. I would, and already have, recommended her to anyone looking for a place. There's no one else I would have rather had representing us.
Here are the things that really made Audrey stand apart from everyone else we interviewed / interacted with in the selling process:
1. She's actually on your side, won't push you to buy a house that doesn't meet your needs, and keeps you honest. In fact, she'll actually keep you honest and bring you back to your actual wants and needs vs. going after a place you're compromising on. Early in the process, we were ready to put an offer down on a house, and she pulled us back and made us realize that it was a bad idea. I never expected that from an agent.
2. She's incredibly responsive. We often communicated on the weekends and weeknights, and she put our interests and speed above all. I can't be thankful enough.
3. She's very thorough and never lets the ball drop. I unfortunately had the experience of seeing a few agents on the other side that weren't as detail oriented as Audrey, and it ended up hurting the seller in one way or another. Audrey just has it together and will never let the ball drop. " - Anuj K.

"We found a house, bid against 4 others, and with a lot of help from Audrey (and perhaps some angels on our side), we got the house without getting into a bidding war. Audrey was PHENOMENAL. We were overseas when we closed, so she did everything on our behalf that we couldn’t. We were able to depend on her 100%. She has a good reputation among agents, which made the whole process a lot more smooth. Our lender and escrow agents were slow, and she kept following up with them to make sure we got to closing. She also knows a lot about houses generally, which was helpful during the inspections. Audrey works hard and goes out of her way to be helpful. She is responsible and responsive. She's professional and principled. We could not have done this without her. " - Scott S.

"My search started almost 8 months ago when I went to my first open house with Audrey. From right then, I knew she was going to do an amazing job at helping me find the right place. Audrey came fully prepared with background research on the neighborhood, the building and even the unit itself.
As a first time-buyer, I was very nervous and confused about the process, but Audrey spent the time to walk me through the necessary documents and even gave me tips to make me appear as a better buyer. After 8 months and a few bids, I found my home. Actually, Audrey found the townhouse as it fit all my criteria while still being in my budget. She helped me through the whole escrow process when I was having doubts, when I had to negotiate terms, and when I got the keys.
Throughout my entire experience, Audrey was patient, knowledgeable, and wonderful to work with. She is also a keen negotiator knowing when to push for more and when to back off. There is no one I would have rather trusted to handle my search for the right home. " - Marisa W.
