Real stories from South Bay and Los Angeles clients who valued our local expertise, clear communication, and supportive real estate experience.

Jesse is the type of agent you want as a first time home buyer who maybe isn’t totally sure of what they are looking for. He is incredibly patient and knowledgeable helping us to not only see potential pros and cons of each house (there were quite a few over a year), as well as the baby steps to giant leaps of the home buying process. We had a loan snafu about half way through close and he calmly guided us through it to close. Both he and his teammate Sharon are incredibly responsive, even pre-emptively with some information they know we’d ask for, throughout the entire process. You’ll have a great experience by going with Jesse.

Jesse helped my wife and me buy our first home in South Redondo Beach. We had searched on our own for a while without much success, so partnering with Jesse was one of the best decisions we made. He immediately helped us become more strategic, and ultimately got us into the perfect home before it even hit the market. We were able to secure it before anyone else saw it, and it checked every box for us — and then some.

Jesse did a phenomenal job guiding me through my first home-buying experience. His deep knowledge of the South Bay market, combined with his personal network and strategic approach, helped me find and secure my dream home even in a low-inventory, competitive seller’s market. Throughout the entire process he was professional, responsive, honest, welcoming and patient. It was impressive to watch him navigate different situations with emotional intelligence and a tailored plan that gave us a real advantage when needed.

Laure De Rivieres
You guys are incredible. The entire process was fast, intense and yet completely smooth thanks to your professionalism, availability and attention to detail. As newcomers to the system, we felt supported every step of the way. Jesse’s knowledge stands out most — he never pushed, oversold or influenced us, but always gave honest insight, pointed out concerns we might have missed and responded quickly. The home we purchased had just come back on the market and Jesse moved immediately so we could see it. Even though the buying and escrow process was intense, it was always clear and manageable. We wouldn’t work with any other broker moving forward.
Buyer
Jesse was a lifesaver in 2015 when my family was suddenly displaced from our rental home after it went to an unexpected auction. The timing couldn’t have been worse with low inventory and high demand in the South Bay. Jesse stayed on top of every possible option, using his relationships to track homes about to hit the market. He found a property that had just fallen out of escrow, alerted us immediately and scheduled a visit. We closed within 30 days and couldn’t be happier. Our twins now attend a great elementary school just two blocks away. Jesse is the right choice when you’re searching for a home in your ideal location — he fights for you until the keys are in your hands and continues the relationship long after. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again if we ever decide to sell.
Evie Besbris
Jesse sold my mother-law’s home after she passed away. When I gave Jesse the listing, he promised he would be available for anything that I might need. He definitely kept his promise. He sold the house quickly and everything went smoothly. Jesse really understands people and that’s a huge plus for his clients. Jesse and his assistant, Sharon Meyer are a no mistakes team. When I would try to reach them, they would answer immediately.
I highly recommend them to sell your house or help you buy a house.
