The Grether Group

"The Grether Group helped us find and purchase our first home in our dream location and they were absolutely wonderful to work with in every way. They were always professional, timely, and thorough, but also kind, generous, lively, and just so fun to be around and talk to. We worked very closely with Russell, Nikki, and Jessica, and I'm lucky enough to be able to call them friends after this process. I will recommend them every chance I get!" - Jacob | Buyer ★★★★★

"We were lucky to meet Russell Grether almost 5 years ago. He and all of the team at the Grether Group were fantastic and made the purchase of our home so easy. They were great. Speed forward 5 years, and sadly, our neighborhood was decimated and hit hard when the Palisades fire came barreling through. We were fortunate and while our home was damaged, it was still standing but in need of repair and not habitable. We found ourselves in need of temporary housing until we could figure out our next steps, and Russell came to our rescue. He showed us multiple homes until he showed us one that was a good fit. We are very thankful Russell and his team were there for us in our dire time of need. I would recommend Russell and team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and great real estate agent as well as a really great person.” - Pamela | Buyer + Tenant ★★★★★

"I first met Russell in 2017 when my husband and I moved to Malibu. His knowledge of the area was awesome as was his patience. After renting for a year, I contacted Russell to buy a home. He took care of me every step of the way and continued to stay in touch over the past 5 years. When it came time to sell for us to move back east, of course I called Russell. Everyone on the team was involved in the process. Nikki, Justin and Jessica were great to work with as they became familiar with our family and dogs as we showed the property. I am very happy with the outcome and recommend them highly. Their knowledge of the market and engagement was outstanding.” - Judy | Buyer + Seller + Tenant ★★★★★

"My family and I went to view a listing of Russell's on a whim. After seeing it, we knew the property was for us. Russell was communicative throughout the process and helped to facilitate many adjustments and accommodations along the way in regards to a 1031 exchange. Russell and his team worked to ensure that the entire process was amicable between us and the seller and even offered to share his contacts in the area to help with some of the post-close work/maintenance. I highly recommend the Grether Group.” - Daniel | Buyer ★★★★★

"Russell is top-notch. He's among the best real estate agents I've ever worked with - knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and a great listener (as our needs/wants for a house kept getting honed!). I highly recommend him.” - Cathy | Buyer ★★★★★

"Russell (who was our direct contact) was on top of everything, he educated and guided us through the whole process. He is so Malibu versed in so many ways I think he should run for Mayor. Thanks, Russell! " - Evyen and Pamela | Buyers ★★★★★
