Los Feliz – Keller Williams

Vivienne Ayala has been our friend and Realtor for the past 12 years. She’s extremely knowledgeable, professional and just a pleasure to work with, that is why we chose her to represent us again as we have now bought our second house with her. The simultaneous buying and selling process can be very stressful and emotional, but Vivienne did a tremendous job in settling our nerves and making the total process seamless. Thanks to her, we are now enjoying our beautiful new home and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again Vivienne!

Patrick Booth was my agent, and we successfully closed on my new condo today! He was calm, reasonable and a great advocate. We had a few hiccups during escrow but it all worked out and he tolerated my unhinged self near the end. Looking for housing in LA is stressful and Patrick made it tolerable and got me a cute place to live 2.5 miles from work. Now I have no excuse to not go to the gym.

Agent Jason Ongoco has been unprofessional and a spam artist in my experience.
I would go elsewhere if you are looking for a real estate agent.
I cannot trust him.

We used Vivienne Ayala as our realtor. When we worked with her, she was at Sotheby’s Los Feliz, but I noticed that she is now at Keller Williams. We were referred to Vivienne by another realtor, who was referred to us. In hindsight, I made of the mistake of not checking references and doing due diligence on my part. It was a big mistake…
Buyers beware, the moment we lifted the contingencies on our home, she was literally GONE — I got an email saying that her phone was broken, and we should meet the buyer and buyer’s agent by ourself (since there were still some details to iron out & we hadn’t closed yet). After that, we never heard from her again. As first time home buyers, we were completely left in the lurch by Vivienne and it was an incredibly stressful process — made stressful not by the process itself but by her incompetence.
Also, the contract was written in such a way that we were not protected — even basic things like the buyer agreed to finish some projects, but Vivienne didn’t write in when they had to be finished by, our rate was about to expire, so again — things that could have been prevented became huge issues. By the end of the process, it was very clear to us that she was only in it for the commission and once the sale was made (or, actually our contingencies were lifted), we were completely on our own. Surprising since at some point I am quite sure my husband and I will buy another house… but Vivienne obviously just cared about making some money and moving on.

Review for Brittany Walter–
Okay first, this review is waaayyyyy late. I just started a new job over seas, but I HAD to review Brittany. She is the hardest working, most savvy, and most efficient real estate agent in Los Angeles. I had less then two weeks to rent my condo, and had Brittany’s card in my wallet. Crazy luck!

Deirdre Salomone was my Realtor at Keller Williams Los Feliz and she was a gem! She explained everything I needed to know about REO’s, short sales, etc. She was extremely familiar with the area we were interested in and actually selected our house for us, just from knowing a bit about us! Hose buying can be stressful, Deirdre made it much more enjoyable!

I’m in the process of buying a property. Unfortunately we have not found the right one yet, however, Michael Remacle (my agent) is the best!, can’t ask for more, totally helpful, clear and he has made this less scary. I feel like dealing with a friend that I can trust. Always open to answer my questions and I can tell he’s looking out for me.
