We were contemplating selling our home in Sherman Oaks in a year or two (as we are now empty nesters), so it wasn’t even on the market. Donovan and his team approached us very respectfully, saying they had a pre-qualified buyer who was very interested in our neighborhood. Within four days we had a firm offer that exceeded our expectations. The entire process from first contact to escrow closure took place in a month without a hitch. The team was helpful, courteous, and truly went above and beyond to make the experience as easy for us as possible.
When selling your home, choosing the right representative is arguably the most important decision you'll make. We interviewed several top producing agents in our area and had some very good experiences with some. But Donovan and Teresa stood alone in terms of their nuanced knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and confidence in their ability to sell our home for top dollar. They delivered on all of their promises and more. During the process, they helped us stage our home, took beautiful photos, and videos, and produced a great description of our property that highlighted its unique attributes. Furthermore, their pre-marketing plan delivered significant interest before we hit the market, resulting in double-digit showings the first day we hit the market. They helped us navigate a couple of false starts with offers that didn't materialize (completely out of their control) and quic…

They helped us navigate a couple of false starts with offers that didn't materialize (completely out of their control) and quickly honed in on the right buyer. Donovan was instrumental in negotiating our deal and kept all parties moving towards a common goal. He navigated a contingency and challenging inspection period and his supreme confidence was invaluable in getting our deal to the finish line. In our opinion, any competent Realtor®️ can list a home and elicit good offers in this market, but the true value in a superstar like Donovan and his team is their ability to navigate the inevitable challenges that always arise when selling prime properties in Los Angeles (hillside inspection issues, older homes with deferred maintenance, delays in closing of escrow, buyer side contingencies, etc.). He made sure the deal did not fall apart at any stage and kept us all focused on the big picture. We highly recommend Donovan, Teresa, and the entire team to anyone looking to sell their luxury property for a great price.
Tim helped us sell the house of a family member who had passed away. It was an incredibly unique and special property that required vision and creativity to sell. Tim shepherded the sale with the utmost professionalism, but also with the care and respect that we all needed. His knowledge of the area, the market, and his connections in the development world were instrumental in the sale. It was a seamless process and the entire family was happy with the sale.
The universe brought Donovan and his team to our doorstep. Literally. We met Donovan over 18 months ago when his teammate Preston Ukra knocked on our door to ask if we had any interest in selling our house. While the market was promising, Donovan correctly didn’t think we could get the ‘pie in the sky’ amount we had thought would be compelling to make us move. Months passed and when he felt the time could be right to meet our expectations, he returned to ask again. And this time around he was the one to set the bar high. Very high. What he felt could be possible was beyond our wildest dreams and sounded impossible but he earned our confidence with his deep understanding of where the market was going and his assurances that he would vet and bring the most serious of buyers to the table. Thanks to his vision, knowledge, and marketing expertise he sold our home in 4 days, at the price he ha…

Thanks to his vision, knowledge, and marketing expertise he sold our home in 4 days, at the price he had projected, and set a record-breaking price per sq. ft for the entire valley. But what he and his team were able to achieve is only half of the story. Who they are is the better part of this story, we truly cannot say enough about Donovan, Preston, and Teresa. They are a dream team of kind, attentive, patient, responsive, positive, professional, available, caring individuals who truly love what they are doing and it shows. We had a 14-day escrow term which you would think would be crazy and chaotic but they managed the entire process as smoothly and seamlessly as you could ever imagine. They made the entire process from start to finish the most positive experience we’ve ever had in selling real estate. We’re sincerely looking forward to working with Donovan and his team again and could not recommend him more highly to anyone who is in the market to buy or sell a home.
