Greg Geilman-RE/MAX Estate Properties

After completing our transaction this past fall, I have nothing but extremely positive things to sayabout Nancy Poertner. It would make my job much easier if every agent I worked with were as prepared as her. She was thoroughly communicative throughout the entire escrow process while diligently ensuring that every deadline was hit, and that every necessary form was filed and signed.
I thought it was abundantly clear that her communication did not end with me. She
seemed to have a great rapport with her clients, helping them stay relaxed by keeping them
informed with everything going on throughout the transaction. As the listing agent, I can say
without a doubt, Nancy always had her clients’ best interest at heart. It truly was a pleasure
working with Nancy and I hope the chance arises to do so again.

I could not recommend Nancy Poertner highly enough! Nancy is very familiar with the Mar Vista/​Marina del Rey communities and surrounding beach areas, making my home search that much easier. Tells it like it is, which is very important in the whole home buying process especially for a first time home buyer. Super organized with the mountains of paper work. Still calls to check that everything is going well after you already bought the house.

We had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Meter on both the sale our Hermosa Beach condo and the purchase of our Redondo Beach home. From the start, she was warm & friendly and made what can be a stressful and challenging process, smooth and dare I say, pleasant:) Her background in interior design was a major plus for us, as she gave us extremely helpful pointers for getting our condo ready for the market, as well as hiring a wonderful photographer. With her knowledge of the market, she came up with an excellent pricing strategy that drove incredible traffic and generated multiple, above-​asking offers, with ultimately ended in a sale price 15% above the closest comp in the building.
On the buying side, she was always available to show us homes we were interested in, which is critical in a market where homes move quickly. Since she understood exactly what we were looking for, she found us the home we ended up buying before it went on the market. Jennifer gave us a fantastic lender recommendation that not only provided us with the lending we needed, but proved to be the key reason for the acceptance of our offer — it was accepted, without counter, over another strong offer because we had a local lender they trusted to get the deal done quickly.
We are grateful for our decision to go with Jennifer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

Nancy Poertner helped ease our relocation process. She spent time to educate me about the area, and the different cities within our target. Her insight of the market history was spot on, and she walked with us each step of the process to insure the best match for our home. With Nancy’s professional guidance, we made the right choice in property to make our home. I would highly recommend her.

Nancy Poertner is the best. She is genuine, honest, listens well and looks out for her clients best interest. Very knowledgable in the area I was looking. Would definitely refer her in the future.

Jennifer Meter is the best. I don’t know where to begin.
We were first-​time home buyers trying to navigate the insanity of South Bay real estate. We had been put off by numerous brokers who either made us feel poor, simply threw an MLS listing at us, or were too pushy. We were nervously and cautiously taking a big first step. We needed guidance. We needed an advocate. That was Jennifer!
Jennifer listened to us and understood what we wanted. She worked tirelessly to find opportunities that met our criteria in South Bay. She eventually found the perfect listing off market and let us jump on it before it hit the open market. We were able to avoid a costly bidding war on our dream house.
Jennifer walked us through the complex, cumbersome, and tedious steps connected with the home buying process… negotiations, contingencies, inspections, etc. She connected us with an amazing contractor who is working on our home renovations. She gave us design ideas to help us create our dream home.
Jennifer was available to us day and night, working around our hectic schedules. We often had calls after we put our kids to bed at night. We scheduled meetings and inspections around our hectic work schedules. We met on weekends. She could not have been more accommodating and helpful.
Thanks to Jennifer we’re preparing to move into our dream home and enjoy a lifetime of great memories with our family.

Working with Greg and Jen is a fantastic experience. They are patient and attentive to the details, and in the end we were able to sell our house above market value and find a new place below market value. This fact, combined with awesome responsiveness and service, made for an ideal outcome. We are happily in our newly renovated home.

As first-​time homebuyers in a hyper-​competitive market, I don’t know if we would have been successful without Jen Meter and Rob Freedman. Jen was always available to answer all of our questions and show the house a number of times, and Rob applied his 35 years of experience to help us in: structuring an offer, negotiating, dealing with inspections and mitigating some unforeseen problems pre-​closing.
I don’t know anyone else in 2015 who got the first house they bid on — but we did. Thanks Jen and Rob!

My husband and I were first time homebuyers, and admittedly clueless to the entire process. We worked with Jennifer Meter and Greg Geilman, who were both amazing to say the least. They were also available to answer our never-​ending questions (with a smile!) and helped us find the perfect first house. They were both a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend them highly!

Nancy Poertner, a member of this team, was our agent and we could not have asked for better assistance and guidance in our home buying process. Usually Nancy knew the questions we were going to ask before we had even thought of them, and had solutions in place immediately. Foresight such as hers goes a long way to smoothing out what can otherwise be a long and stressful process. After working with Nancy for a while I stopped worrying because I knew everything would be handled as needed when the time came with no exceptions. This is a big deal for me to say this as I am an obsessive detail driven person. She had key contacts for any issues we wanted addressed and she followed up and assisted us with homeowner questions even after escrow had closed and we had moved in. What a great experience!

After going though the process of buying and selling multiple homes, my husband and I came to the realization that not all agents are created equal. Greg was highly recommend to us by one of my closet friends. Little did we expect to be connected with the BEST real estate team in all of South Bay.
Greg and his partner Rob offer more than just basic realtor services. As many people know, finding a home in today’s market is no easy task. It is an emotional roller-​coaster. Greg can sense when clients are feeling down and starting to lose hope in the process. His pep talks got us through the lows of both buying and selling a home. His partner Rob, on the other hand, provided an incredible array of expertise from an architectural and developer’s standpoint. When looking at fixer-​uppers, Rob was able to tell us what it would really cost to turn the place into our ideal home. He also pointed out things that other real estate agents would fail to mention (ex. zoning restrictions and perpetual vs. non-​perpetual views). The information Rob gave to us was invaluable.
After only a few short months of working with Greg and Rob, we not only sold our previous home in the first week of listing, but we found our dream home as well. We feel so fortunate to have Greg and Rob on our side. We wouldn’t have gotten our dream home without them.

I think buying a home is probably in the top 5 most stressful experiences in life. With all of the paperwork and rushing around, I can tell you that if you don’t have Greg or someone with his connections and experience handling everything for you, I can’t imagine you’ll ever close. There was no thinking involved with Greg. He told us absolutely everything that was going to happen or that needed to happen for us to buy our home. We were pitted against 8 buyers, 3 of which were all cash and we got the house while not being cash buyers all due to his closing strategies which I can’t share but were really cool and now we live in an incredible dream home that we weren’t confident in getting. Certainly not using any other realtor that’s for sure… thanks so much Greg for all that you did and continue to do!

Greg and his team helped us sell a tricky property, and I was consistently impressed by his hard work, friendly attitude, and above all honesty and integrity. We had a few things go wrong early on and he handled it with grace and skill. In the end we closed well above appraisal and are very happy.

We just finished selling our house with Greg, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly! We had an unconventional property (a tenant-​occupied duplex), and Greg put in a lot of work to find the right buyer for it. It’s great to have a real estate agent who you know is 110% on your team.
Greg is thorough and competent, while still being very friendly and easy to talk to. He was always able to explain the ins and outs of house-​selling to us and gave us good, honest advice. We always felt taken care of, and it took so much stress off of our backs to know that Greg was handling everything.
A huge thanks to Greg and his team– they were a pleasure to work with!

I have found Greg Geilman to be a total professional. He is immediately available and a pleasure to work with. He knows what he is doing, patient, and very helpful and will answer all of your questions. I highly recommend him if you are buying OR selling.

I just closed escrow on the sale of my townhouse in the southbay and Greg and his team were phenomenal. So service oriented and communicative. I felt like I was at a real estate spa. Because of Greg’s expertise in understanding what it takes to attract buyers, I accepted an above asking offer 2 days after my first open house and within the first week of listing. I’m now working with him to find our new dream home and we are confident we will find it with Greg. The last thing of note about Greg is his style. He is low key and not high pressure which works well with my fiancé and my personality.
Thanks Greg and Ani!

This is the 2^nd time I’ve worked with Greg and his team — once as a buyer and most recently as a seller. And I must say both experiences were excellent. I had no idea how much different selling a property was than buying. From developing a marketing strategy, valuing property, fees associated with selling, to negotiating offers and counter offers; everything is so much different as a seller. I’m so glad I had a real professional like Greg representing me.
I was hung up on listing price, as I had a number in my head that I wanted to get. He advised the best strategy for that particular property was to set the price aggressively, and it paid dividends. Went 5% above listing price and got me the same selling price I originally wanted — but in 7 days! And with multiple offers.
If you’ve ever dealt with a Realtor that you know did not have your best interests in mind, call Greg. As a buyer or seller you have enough going on in your life, it’s nice to hand off to a trusted resource that will get the job done.

In all fairness I am a real estate agent’s worst nightmare. I have called Greg on and off several times over the past few years, each and every time with some sense of urgency stating I wanted to buy a house. Greg was each and every time extremely patient and helpful and making sense of my nonsense.
Each time I end up being cold feet and back out of the process leaving Greg with nothing but a bunch of work on his hands with no rewards. Most agents would have fired me a long time ago but Greg is always here for me. Thank you Greg. I truly hope sooner than later we will buy that house and you can finally get rid of me :-)

P. S. Also nothing more true to the expression ‘birds of a feather flock together’. Each person on his team he recommended me to (partner Michelle, loan officer… etc) has been just as kind and helpful along the way.

Greg is awesome. Customer service is everything to him. Whether it took «2 weeks or 2 years,» he’d help us find the right home.
We called him way before we were even serious about buying. We had no idea where to even start or even prepare to start our home search. He gladly helped us figure everything out and made it very clear that he was there for us the whole way. He kept us on the right track and made sure we understood the market and what we could get for our budget. When we altered our search area, he did everything he could to help us, even to the point of bringing in another agent who had more experience there. I’ve already recommended him to my friends. Call him now!

Are you looking for a Realtor who will put you — the customer — first?
Don’t settle for someone that you «think» will deliver, instead choose someone that you KNOW will exceed your expectations! Greg Geilman will do just that, nothing less.
In a day and age where Realtors come a dime a dozen Greg stands out with his charisma and true knowledge of his field. He is ridiculously polite & completely awesome. I would not hesitate to recommend him to family, friends, colleagues and even strangers — like YOU!
