I hired the Gillespie Host Group after interviewing 2 other prominent real estate firms specializing in Manhattan Beach properties. Their presentation revealed a broad knowledge of the high end “Strand” market, as well as current and historic asking and sale prices. Equally important was their realistic overview of our property including the site opportunities and challenges. During the listing period, Jack and Barry were in constant communication with myself and my brothers. We received weekly email updates which included updates on any Strand property activity, broker comments, suggestions for staging the property and a list of all the media that our property was advertised in. I was continually impressed with their respect of our needs and ideas, their personal integrity in all they said and did to assist us, and the high level of personal service they provided us. The selling strategy included professional brochures, a custom website which included a beautiful video and stunning architectural renderings which illustrated the natural beauty of the beach, the ocean and the wonderful charms of the City of Manhattan Beach and finally, what an architect could imagine for the site. The property was on the market for only 270 days. The escrow was flawless. I highly recommend the Gillespie Host Group for any high end residential real estate transaction
