I highly recommend Steve and Ceinwyn Clark. Not only are they consummate professionals, but they really lowered our stress during our home search. Ceinwyn kept us aware of properties in the areas where we were looking. She took us through several properties over four weeks, some of them more than once. We developed a solid sense of the local market, so that when we were ready to bid, we were confident it was the right decision. Steve gave us sage advice about how to prepare financially for the bidding process, and his guidance during that process was invaluable. In the end, we found an amazing property in our price range. Once we were in escrow, they helped us navigate the various inspections and paperwork so that things ran smoothly. They are truly a wonderful team!

We loved working with Austen Lee! As first-time home buyers, we were pretty intimidated by the LA market, but Austen's confidence in us never wavered. Together we were able to find a house that exceeded our expectations — all thanks to Austen. We're so grateful for his guidance, knowledge, patience, and tenacity. We couldn't recommend him higher.

If you are lucky enough, home buying is one of the most important milestones one has in their lifetime. Emotional, thrilling, and at times daunting it is important to have a great real estate agent and team guiding you every step of the way - we found this in Allie and the Backbeat Homes team. Allie is truly a gem agent. She is one of the most personable and kindest humans you’ll ever meet, amidst the vast and competitive Los Angeles real estate market.

An absolute pleasure and consummate professional, her unique approach, humor, and depth of knowledge were exactly what we needed to navigate our first home-buying experience. From start to finish, our many questions were answered with honesty and enthusiasm, while her ability to work side-by-side with Sean our lending partner (part of the team’s network of reputable lender resources) was the icing on the cake. Her invaluable years of experience, allowed us to broaden our search in such a tight market, take a chance, and secure a deal in a space that became our new home. Forever grateful to all those involved, and highly recommend Allie and the Backbeat Homes team!

If you're moving in or to Los Angeles and are thinking of buying residential property, contact Allie at Clarkliving.  Allie is an absolute dream.  We started the home buying and selling process with her years ago, pre-covid.  From the very beginning she took the absolute best care of us.  Allie met with us on multiple occasions gaining understanding of our situation and wants.  No matter the time, day, or question, Allie addressed our concerns quickly with nothing but honesty and truth.  The trust built with Allie was seamless.  She stayed communicative throughout the entire process and always made sure confusion was never a factor.  Allie's professionalism, expertise, and passion shined through and through and ultimately brought comfort to a process that feels immense and at times can feel impossible.  Allie never felt 'pushy' when viewing properties.  She stayed very in tune with our wants and needs between the property itself and the surrounding area.  She never suggested properties that were out of our range and always suggested properties that had our best interest.  Working with her felt like working with a friend who knows how to tough-love you in all of the sweetest and funny ways.  One of the greatest aspects of our experience with Allie, is that she always left us in the driver seat.  Given that real estate is by far our expertise, her talent of navigating you through this process truly makes you feel you are tightly connected to your choices, decision making process, and gives you the validation and confidence that being active in the LA real estate market is nowhere near a mistake.  Allie gives you options and different avenues of resolution based all on what you're willing to do financially, emotionally, and mentally.  By the end of our process, we realized we really could not have made this massive life decision without Allie on our team.  The agency she represents, the team she works beside, everyone are such key players and are always willing to help at their best capacity.  We'll remember this experience with Allie for lifetimes to come and only have faith that should we continue to grow in the LA real estate market, it'll always be Allie and her team that we build with.  As working creatives, owning property in LA is feat but with a strong foundation of passionate and talented people, your home is somewhere in this town waiting for you.  Endless Thank You's, love, and gratitude to Allie at Clarkliving and Backbeat Homes.

If you want to work with the nicest, sharpest, most responsive and professional realtors in LA, then you can do no better than Steve and Ceinwyn. They are just wonderful people. And they also managed to get us our dream house on the very first try– while we were out of the country and on a very tight timeline! They not only held our hands throughout the intensely competitive and stressful process of buying a home in Los Angeles, but they also managed to make us laugh along the way.

When we moved out here from NY we had no idea how important it would be to have the right realtor. Now we know. And you will too if you have the good fortune to connect with these two lovely people or anyone in their orbit. My goodness...Just A++ all the way!

Everyone told us that buying a house in LA was such a stressful and difficult experience, but after working with Jenny Mosbaugh I wonder if they just didn't have the right agent. Or more likely, Jenny is one-of-a-kind.

From our first meeting till the day we closed the house, we kept saying "this feels too easy." We started the process with a list of "wants" for our house, most of them pipe dreams as far as we were concerned. After closing on our house we looked back over that list and realized that Jenny had managed to check ALL of those boxes! We NEVER thought we would be able to get the house that we did, but Jenny made it happen. Plus, she gets it... LA home-buying is a crazy, mind-boggling journey that makes you question reality (especially if you've moved here from a smaller market like we did).

Her attitude, knowledge, easy-going nature, and confidence were key to us landing in the house of our dreams. The seller and his realtor were so complimentary of her and I know that the process wouldn't have gone as smoothly with anyone else. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone.

Sometimes a 5 star review can be suspicious, but trust me: Jenny is the real deal.

Steve and his team were fantastic. They anticipated our needs and were there when we had questions. Their advice was thoughtful and spot on. No one has a crystal ball but his experience and guidance benefited me and my family at each stage in the process. Thank you Steve Clark.

Great company to work with! Tom Flanagan and his team were always just a text or phone call away. Emails were always answered quickly. I would use them again!
