Homes.com Review

We have known Elaine for over 7 years and have purchased two homes with her as our buying agent. She is unique as an agent in that she takes a lot of time to understand your needs and wants and really puts you in the driver's seat, providing options and analysis but never rushing you. Her experience and knowledge of the PV area is excellent. She has great knowledge of the real estate transaction process and provides you with sounds guidance every step of the way. We have felt confident to recommend her to our friends who have also used her services. Elaine is focused on your satisfaction and will go out of her way repeatedly.

Homes.com Review

Elaine came highly recommended from a trusted source, and she lived up to all that and more. Her assistance in preparing my parents' home for listing was invaluable, prompt, consistent, organized, orchestrated and personable, such that the first offer received was higher than the asking price. She coached and shepherded the many personalities involved in the sale diplomatically and amicably, and maintained a positive attitude throughout an emotionally difficult process, closing precisely on schedule to the satisfaction of all. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking to buy or sell in the Palos Verdes Peninsula area.
