I highly recommend Team Plunkett. Michelle and Trevor are the most helpful and knowledgeable real estate agents you could ever want to hire. Michelle is both an attorney and CPA and Trevor has a background in construction. Both have many years of experience in the real estate market, particularly in the South Bay.

Whether you are buying or selling your home or a rental property (we used them for all of these), they are full of welcome advice to help you evaluate the market, determine an appropriate price, identify and mitigate problems, plan fixes and improvements that should or should not be made, put together offers and counter-offers, and even make suggestions on staging your home. They are strong advocates for their clients, anticipating issues before they arise and are quick to respond if they do.

Over the the past several years we worked with Michelle and Trevor to sell a couple rental properties, find and buy the perfect home in Hermosa Beach, and to sell that home again when it was time for us to move on. They were happy to work with us no matter what our needs. For selling the rental properties they helped us to move quickly. For finding our new home they had the patience to let us take our time. When we recently sold that home we wanted to time the market just right. In each case we could not have been happier with the results.

So again I cannot recommend Team Plunkett highly enough.

I first met Michelle and Trevor 7 years ago, when I set out to buy my first house. At that time, my husband and I had gone to multiple open houses, not knowing anything about real estate. We met a few agents at those open houses, and they all belonged to a prominent agency in Los Angeles. But there was just something that didn’t sit well with us. They seemed overly eager, flashy, opportunistic even. So I asked my friend who he had used to buy his place. He referred me to Michelle and Trevor at Team Plunkett.

We bought our first house with them, and it just seemed very smooth and easy. We were in competition with a few others and still managed to have the best offer, due to very strategic planning by Trevor. And we loved our house, until our family grew and we outgrew the house. And so, we decided to embark upon this adventure again.

Sell before buy? Buy before sell? We really had no idea what we were doing, but we reached out to Michelle and Trevor again. They automatically knew exactly what we had to do. And they did it BEAUTIFULLY. They came and dressed up our home so nice, they brought a really professional photographer and bam! Our house looked so good we almost didn’t want to sell it. They knew exactly how to market it and at a good price point to attract the right amount of attention. We had multiple offers, and we were wow’d by some of the numbers and also overwhelmed by all of the details. Michelle put it all into a spreadsheet, made it super organized and it became pretty clear which offers were the best ones. She and Trevor had great advice about what to look for in a solid offer. And so, we sold our house and embarked upon the next adventure of finding our next house.

You might say we were crazy to try to buy in the insane housing market of 2021. The competition was intense, and the prices were rapidly rising. We thought we would never find our dream home. And then Michelle and Trevor literally pulled a rabbit out of a hat and found us the perfect home off-market. And it all came together so beautifully, I still can’t believe it. But that’s how good they are.

What I really liked about them was you get TWO agents who have many talents and have different opinions, but also complement each other. Trevor has an eye for construction, he can tell if something is well-made, he can spot when something is a problem. He is also very no-nonsense and will have no problem calling people out when they are being unreasonable. Michelle is super logical and has a great feel for the market. Her background in accounting and law has been SO helpful in figuring out the logistics and fine print. When my husband and I viewed houses, Michelle and Trevor often had different opinions about the houses, and it was actually kind of neat to be able to debate the houses from different points of view. But overall, they are both just so nice and trustworthy, I would never use any other realtor.

Michelle and Trevor were an invaluable asset both in the sale of our previous home and search for a new one. They are hard working, professional, experienced, trustworthy and well connected within the real estate community. Their network of service providers (title, escrow, mortgage, home inspection, and building trades) were all top notch. Team Plunkett helped us get top dollar for our previous home, kept us from buying the wrong house after inspections revealed some major issues, negotiated a price reduction and a two percent credit on the home we did purchase, saved us a point in closing costs and saved us half a point on our interest rate after the two brokers we were working with had their pricing increase just before we were to lock. I highly recommend Team Plunkett to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
