" Ileana sold our home and the results speak for themselves - multiple offers - over asking - in the first week! 35 days of escrow and she did everything... I mean everything! All we had to do was listen to her professional experience and trust that she would never steer us wrong. Ileana took care to properly stage the condo and her marketing ideas were perfect. We could not be happier with her service and expertise and of course the results!"
- Jill Clark
" From the outset, Ileana was set to impress... From her very professional yet personal approach to her plan of action in regards to expediting the sale of our home. And to say that my wife and I were impressed by her tenacity would be an understatement... Ileana KNOWS how to sell your home, and her experience in dealing with every minor detail shines brightly once she steps in... From her patience and understanding in dealing with our tenants to the speed in which she was able to navigate any unforeseen obstacle... Ileana gets it and she gets it done. We would highly recommend Ileana Lee and her team for your real estate needs. "

"I met Ileana Lee over a year ago at an open house. Little did she know that the impact she had on me that day got me to save her flyer and one year later I contacted her to be my realtor! I met with Ileana at my mother’s townhouse and together we strategized a plan. She is an extremely competent realtor. The approach of her brokers' open house led us to 3 offers in one week. The offer that we accepted was above our asking price. Ileana kept one step ahead to anticipate any pitfalls, of which there were none. I couldn't be happier as this is my parent's legacy. She is awesome! "

" Ileana made selling our townhome an extremely positive and stress free experience. Her knowledge, input and support were vital in our meeting the goals that we had set for the sale--and she did it all with a smile and can-do attitude. Working with Ileana was a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend her."

"Derek and I wanted to thank you immensely for selling our home!!! We are so impressed with your professionalism, knowledge of the market and overall kindness. Not only did you get us the highest offer to date for a unit in the building, but you did it in less than one week and with multiple offers.
You truly made this a smooth and happy transition into the next chapter of our lives. Looking forward to finding our dream home with your help!"

"My experience with Ileana Lee began with an unsolicited postcard from her. I had no prior affiliation with Ileana but decided to meet and discuss the selling of my townhouse. From start to finish, the process could not have been faster or more pleasant. She walked me through each room and made recommendations for staging that would put my townhome in the best possible light for future buyers. A few days after the photo shoot, she held a brokers’ open house and I received 3 offers with a few more pending. I could not believe how smoothly and quickly everything went after that. From my first meeting to the offers was less than a week. The escrow was just as efficient and pleasant as the sale. I could not have been any happier with my team. Polite, knowledgeable and easy to work with - they explained every process and patiently answered all of my questions. Without a doubt, I would recommend Ileana to anyone who is looking for an educated, professional to work with. She gets 5 stars from me."

"For several months we had been searching for a home that met all of our needs: close to work, close to school and in a walkable neighborhood. My family is very particular and our needs list was extensive. We started to think that our ideal home did not exist and realized we needed help so - based on a recommendation - we called Ileana Lee. She was receptive to our timeline and our list - in fact, she even added to our list. In just a couple of weeks, we found our HOME! The property had numerous offers and Ileana saw to it that our offer was accepted. After the acceptance of our offer, there were several times that we thought we weren’t going to be able to close, but because of Ileana’s excellent communication skills, she was able to diligently and effectively negotiate these issues so that it worked out for both parties. Throughout the experience, she was extremely honest and had the utmost integrity. We could not have asked for anyone to represent us more respectfully or authentically than she did. We have worked with many realtors in the past – both as buyers and as sellers - and have never had a more professional real estate experience. We highly recommend Ileana – we wish we were allowed to give her a 6 star rating – she’s that good!"

"Ileana was great! She drove from LA to OC, where I live, just to discuss the listing of my Sherman Oaks home. She spent an entire day decluttering and staging my tenant occupied property for and the pictures turned out fantastic. Ileana is very knowledgeable and provided excellent marketing and advertising tools. She always answered all of my calls and texts - day and night - stayed on top of everything and kept me informed at all times. Most importantly – she was able to sell my home quickly! She got my home listed in 5 days and then sold it that week - over asking price with multiple offers! She worked tirelessly until my home closed escrow and is by far the most motivated realtor I have ever worked with. Ileana is a mover and shaker! I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to buy or sell their home – she is an amazing realtor that truly cares about you."

"Ileana did an outstanding job helping me find my new home. She was kind, patient and paid particular attention to my very specific preferences. Even though I narrowed down my search considerably, I had trouble coming to a decision because so many of the homes she found were so close to fulfilling all my expectations. She took a great deal of time helping me figure out what was most important to me in choosing a home. She literally sat with me and helped me list the pros and cons of each home to help me clarify what was most important to me. She supported my choice to revisit the properties multiple times, as I felt it helped me decide. I find she really cares about her client’s happiness. Anyone who has the privilege of working with her will be happy they chose her - she truly gives 5-star service. "

"Ileana helped us get through an emotional time letting go of our beloved house by ensuring us it was in capable hands. And that it was...from the help she provided us by prepping the house the right way to the extra touches at the open houses, she was definitely "hands-on" when we couldn't be there. Putting away clutter, skimming the pool, being our facilitator and communicator and marketing the home in every way possible resulted in a buyer within one week, even with a fair amount of competing homes out there. She really had her job cut out for her in terms of dealing with two owners that are now living in two different cities and time zones. But her communication was excellent and she made herself available no matter what time zone that the rest of us were in. We literally could not have done this without her!"

"In exactly a month's time, I went from viewing an open house found by Ileana, to not only owning it, but I have already completely moved in! I cannot say enough great things about how Ileana was able to move things forward so quickly and has assembled a team that not only keeps things on track but kept me informed of status' every step of the way and answered any questions I had. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to make a purchase HAPPEN, there were no stalls, not a single hiccup or obstacle presented itself, Besides being personable, her service is truly hands-on and beyond compare. 5 Stars, 10 Stars, however you rate, I would give her the MAX! Yes, this is one happy buyer/homeowner. Like, Like, Like!!!"

"Ileana is simply the best!! She is a consummate professional and is in tune with the real estate market. I met her over a year ago and was not ready to sell my home but when I was ready to sell - she was my first and only choice. Based on our initial meeting I had very high expectations which she far exceeded. She proved to be smart, conscientious, and resourceful. Ileana was always available to answer questions or show up at the condo to coordinate repairs when I was traveling. My beloved condo had been tenant occupied for a few years so we encountered a few unknowns when we first listed my unit. In addition to dealing with pissed off tenants (because they would have to move when the unit sold), I also discovered a few unknown maintenance issues. Ileana worked around my tenant’s schedules and maintained her professionalism and overall great attitude throughout the sales process, and she was armed with solutions whenever an unforeseen issue arose. She was always on top of things and kept me informed but did not bother me with unnecessary details. Due to a few unknowns, my condo was on the market a bit longer than expected but she never suggested that we lower the price. She priced it right from the beginning and it sold at the full asking price. I would highly recommend Ileana to anyone that is selling their home."

"Ileana listed my home in San Diego, CA. It was a unique home, with certain architectural details that made it “special,” which made it quite difficult to place a monetary value on it. Nonetheless, Ileana went beyond any other realtor I’ve used in my 30 years of home-ownership to understand the nuances of this home, it’s architectural significance and the quite specific market for such a home. This was also at the outset of the COVID outbreak, whose impact on the residential real estate market was yet unknown. Her research was done with integrity and objectivity, also uncommon in the trade, but she came up with compelling evidence for why the home would still sell for a premium while others were beginning to drop. She was right. Sold the home for top dollar, within a week. I recommend Ileana Lee with enthusiasm to anyone in southern California, from LA to San Diego."

"Ileana went above and beyond in all areas to help me purchase my first property. She guided me in determining what my specific needs were, found the perfect home for me that I had completely missed in my own online searches and a month later she was handing me the keys! Her communication was incredible every step of the way - she explained everything, encouraged questions, checked in regularly during the entire process and has continued to check in and help me even after the closing. I couldn’t speak more highly of Ileana and couldn’t be more deeply grateful to her for making my first purchase an organized, comfortable and exciting process!

"In a process where hiccups are almost inevitable, Ileana managed to orchestrate a flawless journey from start to finish. Her professionalism and expertise as a realtor are unquestionable - but it is her dedication, passion and empathy that makes me recommend her to anyone looking for an trust worthy, outstanding realtor
- Ruby Croft
"Ileana was a dream to work with! As a first time buyer, looking for a home can be very
overwhelming. Ileana is so good at explaining the process and is willing to take the extra time to
help you understand today’s market. Prior to finding and buying our dream home, we found other
ones that we wanted to write offers on but Ileana gently expressed her concerns about those
homes and educated us about resale values. She assured us that she would find the perfect
home for us and she did! Ileana was great at building rapport with all of the listing agents. Her
relationship and communication with the listing agent of the home that we bought was amazing.
Ileana negotiated very aggressively but always maintained a professional and friendly rapport
with the listing agent. Which made the entire escrow process smooth and quick – any hiccups
that came up she handled with expertise. I cannot recommend Ileana enough. We will miss our
after house hunting meetings and the laughs we had throughout - but look forward to working with
her on all of our future real estate needs. She is the best!"
