Dear LA Real Estate Team - Compass - Los Angeles, California

Hope helped us find the perfect home for our family in a tough market. She was always available, proactive, and most importantly both fun and confidence-inspiring to work with. Her positivity and expertise were a constant source of reassurance, making stressful moments feel manageable. We were able to close in only 15 days and could not have done it without Hope. We recommend Hope to anyone looking for a real estate agent who is not only an expert on NELA but also genuinely invested in her clients' success.

Additionally, it was great to have the larger team available for additional guidance and opinions. Brad was able to lend his expertise several times during escrow, as he had helped both buyers and sellers in situations similar to our ours.

When we began our home search, we were anxious and overwhelmed. Little did we know that Cyrus and Joanna would transform what could have been a stressful experience into an incredible, supportive journey. They went above and beyond, making us feel not just like clients, but like family. Both my husband and I AND my brother and sister in law were looking for homes at the same time, and they guided us all.

Their dedication was truly remarkable. Every step of the way, they listened intently to our needs, preferences, and concerns. Their commitment was so profound that it felt like they were as invested in finding our perfect home as we were.

What sets these agents apart is their unwavering support. They weren't just transaction facilitators - they were our advocates and confidants. They navigated complex negotiations, provided invaluable insights, and were always honest. Their professionalism was matched only by their warmth and compassion.

I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're looking for real estate agents who will treat you like family, go above and beyond, and make what could be a stressful process feel like an exciting adventure, look no further. They don't just sell homes - they create life-changing experiences.

10/10 - Absolutely Exceptional!

Alex and the team at Dear LA did an incredible job selling my house in northeast Los Angeles for well above asking price. I interviewed several realtors, but Dear LA stood out as the most honest, accessible, and easy to work with from the first meeting. Selling a house in this unpredictable market can feel scary and confusing, but Alex and the team were there through every step of the process, breaking down the details and providing incredibly useful insights and advice.

Alex oversaw a number of improvements to the property before it went on the market, and I was blown away by how hassle-free and streamlined that process was, as well as how great the house looked for its debut. Alex's strategic recommendations were solid-- the team really knew the market in my neighborhood inside and out, and knew exactly what was needed to prepare and price the house to make a splash.

Alex supported with helpful guidance through negotiations, and the house ended up selling for an amount substantially above the asking price, with a smooth and efficient escrow process. From start to finish, Alex was super responsive, very clear with her feedback, and always compassionate and sensitive to how emotional the process of selling a house can be. I recommend Alex and the Dear LA team wholeheartedly, and would work with them again in a heartbeat.

If it wasn’t for Megan, we wouldn’t have gotten our house! She guided us through the entire buying process—from recommending lenders, to booking inspections, and even checking in on us after we had closed and helping us reach out to contractors. She was always available, responsive, and patient with our million questions. Going with an agent who specializes in the area we wanted to move to was the best decision. Nine out of ten times when we asked Megan about a listing, she had already toured the home. Not to mention, our house was an off-market listing that we would never have known about if it wasn’t for Megan and the Dear LA team. If you’re looking to buy in NELA, Megan knows (and is the) best!

I cannot recommend Hope enough! She made the process of finding my forever home not only stress-free but actually enjoyable. From day one, she listened to what I wanted, guided me through the ups and downs of house hunting, and made sure I never settled for anything less than perfect. Her knowledge, patience, and dedication were next level—I always felt like I was in the best hands.

If you're looking for someone who truly cares, goes above and beyond, and knows how to get things done, Hope is the one. I’m so grateful for her hard work, and I couldn’t be happier in my new home!

Cyrus Gengras and Joanna Shul were our fantastic agents in LA. We did a 1031 exchange for two houses or a duplex. They were so on top of it, knowledgeable and approachable. We ended up with two houses and couldn’t have been happier with their guidance and expertise in the field. We recommend them enthusiastically !

Joanna and Brad listed our home and had a cash offer in hand within 30 days— it was a particularly tricky property because of certain restrictions but they managed to get us significantly over asking at one of the more depressed moments in the real estate market post-COVID.

As people, they’re so easy to work with and so easy to talk to; we never felt pressured to spend extra money unnecessarily and they were so communicative that the process seemed so much easier than we initially thought it would be, especially given this was our first time selling.

I truly can’t recommend them enough.

Selling a house can be an overwhelming exercise, but Megan, along with Brad and Joanna made the whole process so comfortable and smooth for us. We felt at ease throughout and they excelled in many areas including efficiency, creativity, communication and enthusiasm.

Megan organized the contractors, landscapers and stagers quickly and the work was executed rapidly and smoothly over the course of just three weeks for an extremely affordable price.

They worked with us to create a unique design aesthetic for the landscaping, color scheme and staging. We were blown away by how much improvement they made to the exterior and how fresh and vibrant they made the interior. All their elements tied our house together seamlessly and created a striking product to show. And their attention to detail was exemplary – making sure even the small features like trim and transition strips were taken care of.

Throughout the process, Megan and colleagues were extremely responsive to all of our questions – even the ones we felt stupid asking – and that made the whole process very transparent for us. We could (and did) send them questions day or night and would get a response within an hour and usually sooner.

Lastly, they were enthusiastic and upbeat the entire time we were dealing with them. This continued with all their dealings with potential buyers who responded very positively to the property and to our realtors.

We highly recommend Megan and the team at Dear LA Compass for anyone looking to sell their home!
