Whit Prouty

When it came time to sell my family's condo, I went to Whit, who had helped us find our first home. I wasn't sure if he would want to take it on, because it was a fixer-upper, not a very big opportunity, and rather far from his home base. But Whit graciously and enthusiastically agreed, and gave it just as much attention as any of his other endeavors, taking care to be thorough, thoughtful, and informative during the whole process. My initial hope was to sell it as a no-fuss fixer for someone to turn into their own dream living space, but Whit insisted that the current market wasn't right for that, and that we should renovate. It wasn't the answer I wanted to hear, but it turned out to be the right answer. The unit was quickly sold, and for above our expectations. The process was quick and painless (renovations aside!), and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend working with Whit!

I decided to make a move out of state to be closer to my family. I would have waited and waited because of the rise in interest rates and general economic conditions. A trusted advisor recommended that I talk with Whit. Whit pointed out that we were in a favorable window of time for selling. I accepted an offer and backup in a week. Whit created an easy to compare spreadsheet with all three of the offers. He also used the phrase “last and best offer”. There was no counter offering nor any other phrase that seemed to be one encouraging an atmosphere of competition. Whit walked me through all the forms required by escrow and any required updates that would be required. He was available at any time to answer questions. Whit made what I I anticipated to be an intimidating process, smooth and easy and I am grateful. I would not have sold my house without Whit.

Whit is easily the best agent I’ve worked with. His knowledge of the Los Angeles and West Hollywood markets is second to none. He guided us on the proper timing for listing our unit and the right listing price. It was thanks only to him that we were able to sell in such a difficult market. In addition to his knowledge and skill, he helped us through the minor details of selling our home: making sure it looked its best, helping us address minor points, guiding us through the sale and closing. He made a difficult time very easy. I will work with Whit Prouty every chance I get.

What was always available for a question. His knowledge and communication skills helped us through the whole process. I can only give him the highest rating

Whit is extremely professional and knowledgeable about the market He is amazing to work with and uses detailed due diligence Would work and refer him any day!!!

I was new to LA and asked friends for recommendations when it came time to buy a condo. When I spoke to Whit, I knew he was the one, but did my due diligence and spoke to everyone who was referred. Whit immediately stood out from the rest in several respects. First, in representing me as the buyer, Whit looks at properties from the perspective of a seller, and points out advantages/disadvantages that I didn't consider. Second, Whit does not specialize in a focused geographic location. I had several areas in mind (all the way from the Valley to Marina Del Rey), and Whit was extremely knowledgeable about every area. He was even able to look at a street address and tell me about the area, the direction the condo was facing, proximity to freeways, etc. Third, Whit does not delegate his clients to other realtors for showings. He alone attended every single showing, which was remarkable given his other clients and the geographic span of the city. While seeing prospective properties, Whit listened to my likes and dislikes and curated listings based on my feedback. Even when I would see properties during weekend open houses on my own, Whit took time to separately see every single property that I had an interest in. Whit took time to explain the escrow process, manage my expectations, and provide helpful timelines. He helped me avoid getting caught up in the frenzy of bidding wars, and provided me with arsenal of valuable contacts, including inspectors, handymen, etc. Whit was also extremely helpful in going the extra mile such as explaining who I should reach out to for the issues in my inspection report (i.e, plumber, handyman, electrician, etc.), how to secure my townhouse, and even removing items the seller had left behind. On my closing day, I was out of town, and Whit took care of everything. He had the keys ready for me when I returned. Whit is the best of the best. I can't wait to work with him again when it is time to sell my townhouse!
