Buyer of 1/1102 12th Street, Santa Monica
I honestly don’t know how I would’ve done this without Kara. As a first-time buyer, I had a million questions, and Kara was there for me every step of the way—working closely not just with me but with my entire family. She helped me land a gorgeous condo just steps from the Santa Monica bluffs (it feels like a house!), negotiated below asking with credits, and built an amazing rapport with the listing agent that made our offer shine. Kara is the real deal—knowledgeable, kind, and a true advocate.

I had an incredible experience working with Shirin Talai as my real estate agent and broker. From start to finish, she was well-prepared, punctual, and highly knowledgeable. She took the time to walk me through every step of the home-buying process, ensuring I was well-informed and confident in my decisions. Her dedication and availability made the entire experience much less stressful—I knew I could trust her completely. Thanks to her guidance and expertise, I felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Shirin Talai to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable and professional broker and real estate agent!

Seller of Unit 4/1212 Ocean Park Boulevard, Santa Monica
Brian and his team were fantastic to work with. Brian was incredibly knowledgeable and responsive throughout the whole process of selling our condo. He got us an above-asking offer our first day on the market and helped us navigate some unforeseen maintenance challenges that came up during escrow. Would definitely recommend Brian and his team to anyone selling a condo on the westside.
