"We initially had another agent and were struggling to sell the home after more than 90 days on the market. Once we started working with Kyla, we could see the difference in proactivity and professionalism. Following her recommendations, we changed our initial 'digital' staging to real staging which helped elevate the look of the home. We also realized that our initial price point was not right for the current buyers market. She provided detailed analysis of the Pasadena market and we were able to compare our place with comparable homes. The report not only had price comparisons, but breakdowns of sq footage, rooms, and overall home designs. She was able to work through any setbacks that we encountered and was lightning fast with contingency plans. Despite the arduous journey of selling the home, she was very patient and continued to work hard with open houses and marketing. In the end, she has proven her expertise with a sale above our asking price with multiple offers! We had the utmost confidence in her and were so happy to work with her. We highly recommend Kyla." - Kathyr

"We were so fortunate to be working with Kyla. She is extremely proactive, knowledgeable, and honest. I knew that we could rely on her every step of the way. This was the first time selling a home and I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else. She is an expert on the market and how to make a home attractive to potential buyers. We were facing a tough market in terms of being a seller, but she provided many ideas to help get our home sold. She was guiding us every step of the way with negotiations, which led to multiple offers. Something I really appreciate from her was the detailed reports of other similar homes in the market and how they compared to ours. It gave us great insight into how the market was doing and if we needed to employ other home-selling strategies. I highly recommend using Kyla and her team! They are the best!" - Tim

"My wife and I are so fortunate to have worked with both Kyla M and Kyla C during our first time buying a home. Kyla M was an invaluable partner in making this process as seamless as it was to buy for the first time. She practiced endless patience with us, messaging back as quickly as we hit 'send' with thoughtful and thorough responses, always crafted with our goals in mind over anything else. She directly oversaw our renovation process, managing dozens of contractors and orders while keeping an incredibly tight schedule and always ensuring everything was done to our high standards. She was personable, kind, and listened throughout both the purchase and the renovation portion. We would not want any other team to handle our future purchases or selling needs. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to your clients. Highly, highly recommend!" - Arturo

"I can't recommend Kyla and Kyla enough! They have been absolutely amazing from the very start. Last year, they helped me purchase my investment property, and since then, they've been an invaluable resource in renting it out. They've assisted with finding reliable tenants not once, but twice, and every step of the way has been seamless. What truly stands out is how quickly they respond to any questions or concerns. No matter the time or day, they are always just a message away. Plus, they have an incredible team of contractors and workers who will quickly address any issues that pop up around the property, ensuring everything is always in top shape. I'm so grateful for their expertise and support, and I'm looking forward to continuing working together. " - Sara L.

"I could not have asked for better agent than Kyla and her team. From my earliest meetings when I was just starting the process of selling to the close of escrow, she was so kind, thoughtful and intelligent. She gave me advice and suggestions and came up with a complete plan to transform our condo that needed a makeover to prep it for the market l. I gave her my goals for the sale price and budget for the updates and then her team went to work! She handled all the renovations so beautifully and well within our budget and when we listed our condo it sold in less than a week we’ll above our asking price! I am so happy with our experience and feel really lucky to have worked with Kyla!" - Sarah, Seller

"Kyla was an incredible partner to help me and my husband buy our first home in LA – we truly could not have asked for a better agent. We were very unsure of if we wanted to even buy at all initially, but after seeing some incredible homes that Kyla selected for us, we were ready to move forward. Kyla had the patience of a goddess in answering the hundreds of questions at all hours of the day we had for her throughout the process; she always explained promptly, thoroughly, and with care, tailoring her advice to our needs and preferences. She set up competitive terms that allowed the process to move quickly, and was an expert in the negotiation process and giving us guidance without making us move beyond our speed. Her taste is impeccable, and she even helped us oversee the renovation of our new home, working with us to bring mood boards and ideas to life. She always kept the ball in our court, and empowered us to make the best decision for us, and it was so appreciated! I highly recommend Kyla (and already have) to anyone looking for a home – you'll be glad you did!." - Lizzie, Buyer
