Real estate teams in Santa Monica

Steve Sawai is truly extraordinary. I have worked with him for over 40 years and have recommended him to countless friends throughout the time. Most recently, when selling my lot in Pacific Palisades, Steve went above and beyond out of 14 realtors involved he was the only one who personally showed up to walk the property with a buyer who was actively looking for lots. Every other agent simply sent their buyer on their own that level of dedication, professionalism, and personal involvement is exactly why Steve stands out and why I continue to trust and recommend him without hesitation

I've worked with Steve several times, but you learn about someone's character when your back is up against the wall. My wife and I, like many others, lost our home in the Palisades Fire. My wife was pregnant at the time and without going into every detail, I was lost, frightened and paralyzed by confusion. Steve, who was also personally suffering from the same tragedy, made it his responsibility to help take care of us. At a time when it made sense to be selfish and put yourself first, Steve carried us on his back. When people were being greedy and opportunistic, trying to profit from other people's perils, Steve was out there everyday helping people from his community. The entire time, he was level headed, sympathetic, and practical. He was thoughtful and took care of everything he could to lighten our mental load. Steve is a man of honor, dignity, and virtue. Because of Steve, we were able to bring our baby girl to a home from the hospital and I am forever grateful to him.

Justin is a terrific agent. He represented us as buyers, and from the beginning of the process through the closing, he was tenacious, communicative/responsive, and deeply knowledgable about the area (Westside LA). He flagged many promising properties and clearly understood our feedback when we noted what we liked and didn't like. When we ultimately identified a property we wanted to make an offer on, he was fast and aggressive and a talented negotiator. Can't recommend Justin highly enough!
