"We felt very comfortable selecting Kurt Allen to sell our house. First and foremost Kurt is honest and knowledgeable. He always has his client's best interest at heart and has many years of Real Estates experience. He is also a long time South Bay resident and really understands the market. Kurt had our home in escrow within 2 days of listing it on the MLS at our asking price! Escrow went very smoothly. If something needed to be repaired Kurt was able to recommend people to do the repairs at reasonable prices. He was very hands on and made sure that everything got done on time. Kurt is very personable and really works to develop a relationship with his clients. It's not just another business deal to him - the relationship with his clients is very important to him. He really strives to make sure his clients are happy with selling or buying their property. We would highly recommend Kurt to represent you as a buyer or seller of real estate. He will find what you are looking for and really work hard to make it all happen!" - Amy M. Palos Verdes Estates

★★★★★
"Working with Kurt Allen and his team was an incredible experience from start to finish. I have never known a more hardworking broker in my life. The house was sold as part of an estate, so there were additional challenges to the sale. Kurt handled every challenge with total professionalism and kept the family updated all along with way! I have shared our experiences with Kurt and his team with friends and family and people are seriously in shock when they hear all of the "extra mile" responsibilities Kurt took on to assure the sale of our family home went seamlessly. I will never be able to thank him enough!" - Kathy B. Rolling Hills

★★★★★
"Kurt sold our family home of 15 years, located in Palos Verdes Estates and worked with us to purchase our new home in Rolling Hills Estates. Due to Kurt’s accurate pricing recommendation, our home sold immediately and with 3 offers. All offers were over list so that was extremely welcome news. Kurt also held open houses to help advertise and showcase our home. Kurt was also instrumental in helping us assess what we needed to do to our home before we listed it to make it more desirable to buyers. All transactions went smoothly and that made the whole process very easy to manage. Kurt was very knowledgeable about activity in our area as well as many others. We would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell." - Benjamin and Janet D., Rolling Hills Estates and Palos Verdes Estates

★★★★★

Throughout each process, Kurt's professionalism and attention to detail has resulted in a smooth and successful outcome. Kurt's experience is invaluable—he understands the nuances of the market, and knows what needs to get done to satisfy both parties. Of course, when the situation is not right for the client, he will not hesitate to voice his view. We have had several instances of this, and have been grateful for his advice. We look forward to working with Kurt in the future." - Kevin A., Palos Verdes

"I have been buying and selling Manhattan Beach real estate with Kurt Allen since 1994. My entire family as interacted with Kurt on real estate transactions. Kurt has a great personality and gives you the straight scoop on any property you investigate. He has been involved in the Manhattan Beach real estate market all his life, as he grew up here. He can sell Manhattan Beach qualities better than anybody in town. So if you are a seller, he is your guy. Kurt keeps up with the market trends on financing and construction costs. He has been a real estate developer himself, so he knows a lot about current replacement costs as well as purchase prices. He knows what features help sell a home and what improvements need to be made to make a quick sale. He know nearly all of the real estate agents who represent sellers. If you are a buyer, these agents are truthful with Kurt as to what is possible on a deal so that you do not overpay. Through his hard work and dedication to service, Kurt has earned the loyalty of my entire family. I highly recommend Kurt to buyers, sellers and investors alike." - Jack M., Manhattan Beach

Kurt’s integrity, tenacity, understanding of the marketplace, as well as his genuine care for his clients’ best interest are second to none. While buying and selling real estate can be a complicated and nerve wracking experience, Kurt always keeps a cool head. He goes the extra mile to explain every step of the process and he never takes short cuts. While there were times he could have put his self-interest ahead of ours, and had the opportunity to make more money, he didn’t. Our family feels fortunate to have found Kurt, and would highly recommend him to both buyers and sellers." - Bo and Dawn K., Palos Verdes Estates
