Bruno Abisror - Sothebys International Realty
Real Estate Agents in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 August 2013
“Bruno and his team were a pleasure to work with for the sale of my Westwood condo. I was referred through my Stanford network. The things that stood out the most about Bruno to me were his responsiveness / follow up and attention to detail (going above what is required of an agent). It was also important to me to engage an energetic and tech / social media savvy agent in today's competitive brokerage environment (which Bruno is). My condo ended up selling for approximately 10% above asking price after receiving 7 offers the week after the first Sunday open house. I attribute this to the following: great pricing and comparable sale strategy resulting from Bruno's team researching and knowing the real-time market (constantly changing); taking the time to really understand my HOA in order to be well equipped to answer any concerns (ability to communicate effectively / on the spot was key), and being the "one-stop" / affordable shop for all my interior staging needs (Bruno took the photos, created the electronic floor plan, sourced cosmetic contractors, etc.). All in all, as successful an experience as I could ask for. I now consider Bruno a friend... just a nice, extremely likable guy who, most importantly, truly has your best interest during the entire sale process. I always felt comfortable and in capable hands.”
Smike Wallen
Real Estate Agents in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 November 2014
“I cannot say enough good things about the work Smike did for us. He remodelled our kitchen, laundry room and bathroom in the Summer of 2011. He was on site every day which made the process run very smoothly. He finished the job a few days before he promised and did not go over budget- except where we agreed to do additional things that were not part of the original job. I think htat is unheard of in this business! We continue to get complements on our kitchen and all of the work has held up. Not only is Smike creative and honest, he is a really great human being. I highly recommend him.”

“I have used Denise Smith on a number of my transactions. I am consistently buying properties and she is my first call. I run various scenarios by her and she has provided the financing on my properties. If you want a great person to work with give Denise a call. I refer her to all of my family, friends and business associates. Thank you, Terrence”
THE CARRABBA GROUP
Real Estate Agents in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 October 2013
“I just want to say that I am really happy to have found The Carrabba Group to work it. They are all very helpful and educated. I worked mainly with Monique and she was one of the nicest people that I have seen. She had an answer for all of our questions. She was so helpful to us and we learned a lot from her. She helped us purchase our first town house. She made the process so peaceful that, I recommended her to my brother who is now in process of purchasing a house with their help. Once again would like to thank Monique for making the process easy and peaceful. They have an awesome team. Keep up the good work.”
Elizabeth Welchman - Teles Properties
Real Estate Agents in Santa Monica, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 March 2014
“My husband and I had a great experience working with Elizabeth on the purchase of our first home. She was knowledgeable about all of the neighborhoods we were interested in (and many we didn't even know we'd love) and showed us many properties that fit our criteria -- we love our new home and neighborhood! Elizabeth was great at guiding newbies through the whole process -- from qualifying for financing through getting our keys. She was always available to answer questions or solve problems. Working with her made the whole process more streamlined and a lot less stressful.”

A property sale in Santa Monica, CA can be a tense, thrilling, and exhausting experience - often all at once! One thing you can be sure of, a successful home purchase or sale nearly always starts with a good real estate agent or broker.

Real Estate is a complex and dynamic area of work that demands experts to stay informed about rules and regulations as well as the Santa Monica, CA market. As you can imagine, agents and brokers vary as much as the properties they sell. You'll need to be as savvy in selecting a realtor as they are in getting you the best price.

What Does an Agent or Broker Do?


Although the terms “agent” and “broker” often are used interchangeably, they’re not the same thing. Generally, a broker must have more specialised education as well as licensing, and as a result is legally authorised to execute a real estate transaction. Brokers usually play a more administrative role in the real estate process. An agent, by contrast, is a salesperson hired by a broker to interact with and handle the legwork for the clients.

When you're looking to buy a home, a buyer’s agent represents a home buyer or seller in a real estate transaction. A buyer’s agent will find Santa Monica property listings that match your needs, works with the seller’s agent to schedule showings and accompanies you on visits to tour the home. If you’re interested in the house, the agent handles price negotiations and other terms of the sale, and coordinates the appropriate paperwork.

If you are engaged in a home sale, a seller’s agent will help you determine a listing price for a Santa Monica, CA property and can suggest repairs, upgrades and staging ideas to boost the home’s appeal. He or she is in charge of marketing the house to prospective buyers and other agents through signage, websites, print ads, open houses and other methods. As with a buyer’s agent, a seller’s agent represents you in negotiating the sale.

Questions to ask a prospective agent or broker:


  • How long have you been in the business?
  • How long have you worked in this area?
  • Do you work full time or part time in this business?
  • Do you represent buyers or sellers exclusively, or both?
  • What are your professional affiliations?
  • For sellers: How will you market my home?
  • For buyers: How will you find homes that might interest me?
  • Have you had recent sales in the neighborhoods that I might interested in?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • What license(s) do you have?
  • How do you charge?
  • What do your services include?
  • Will I be working with anyone else?
