Colin Aita

​ ★★★★★
"I interviewed several realtors to be my listing agent when selling my condo in Santa Monica. Many claimed to be experts in the area and promised world-class marketing but when I asked them about their listing strategy, they lost me. Then I had the chance to sit down with Colin, and he approached things a bit differently. Rather than come in and tell me how great he was, he took the majority of the time to ask me questions. Why was I selling, what do I need from a realtor, what are the priorities for the sale, top dollar, timing, getting the right buyer, etc. He wanted to know what the best part about living there was, what I liked and disliked about the home if there were any downsides or challenges to the home. He took all of this information in and then addressed each one specifically. Each item was given much thought and attention, and when we were done, I felt like someone really understood what I was looking for in a realtor, what was important to me during the sales process, and ultimately how it could all be achieved successfully. Not only did we get above asking on the home, but we were able to navigate through some disclosures to the buyers that had made me nervous. We closed within 30 days, and his negotiations through the inspection process were impeccable. Colin was attentive and communicated thoroughly each step of the way helping me to feel secure during each phase of the sale from listing to closing. If you're looking for a realtor who is interested in you and your motivations to sell, rather than just getting the listing, I highly recommend Colin Aita. Thanks." Michael T.
