Melissa was truly a one-stop-shop for our entire home buying process. From the start, she took the time to get to know us and learn what we were looking for in a home. She was proactive in sending listings she thought aligned with our needs, inclusive of realistic and honest opinions. Whenever there was a house we wanted to see, her responsiveness often allowed us to be one of the first people to tour the home. Our home buying journey was not a quick one, but Melissa was patient and positive, until we finally found the right one. The negotiation and closing process is really where Melissa shines. She provided expert guidance throughout each and every step, and offered to connect us with every type of resource for mortgages, home inspections, insurance policies, or anything else you can think of to make sure everything was in place with confidence. Even after we closed, Melissa continued to make her contacts available to us for various move-in necessities. I would highly recommend Melissa, especially for first-timers like us, if you are looking for a true partner during your home buying experience.

We had a wonderful experience working with Hessel to purchase our condo! He is very professional, efficient, and responsive. He kept us informed throughout the entire process and made everything feel smooth and stress-free. He is always quick to answer our questions and handle anything that came up. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and professional real estate agent!

Paige and her team did a fantastic job assisting my wife and I through the sales process. Venice is a unique market and I personally think Pardee is the best in town. Overall the communication was great and this is actually our second time working with Pardee as they represented the last seller when we acquired the property back in 2021. Thank you so much for everything you did for us Pardee & Paige!

We had an exceptional experience working with Colleen to help my sister, Robyn, relocate from Dallas to California. Weeks before her visit, Colleen was already doing the homework, setting up calls, helping us narrow down the right areas, and identifying properties that fit exactly what we were looking for. When my sister arrived, we had a clear game plan and were able to make the most of our time. After the first day, we realized we needed to pivot, and Colleen responded incredibly quickly. She listened, adjusted, and ultimately helped us find the perfect condo in Playa Vista. Thanks to Colleen’s preparation, responsiveness, and teamwork, we were able to move quickly and close the deal. She made what could have been a stressful cross-country move feel organized and manageable. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a great real estate agent!

Five stars. Margie Arbizo was phenomenal. We worked with other agents before Margie. None of them compared to her. Her work ethic is unmatched. She made herself available whenever we needed her. Any question we had, she looked into it and got back to us. She was patient the whole time we were shopping in Los Angeles. She never rushed us. She gave us options and let us decide. What I liked most was how personable she is. She felt like someone on our side, not just a salesperson. She is also very well connected. When we had questions, she put us in touch with her own resources to get the answers we needed. I recommend Margie Arbizo without hesitation.

SO Séamus O'Ryan Review for Vince Peagler III · Sep 2026
Zillow

Matthew is the gold standard against which all real estate agents should be judged. He is outstanding in every way— smart, ethical, responsive, caring, dedicated, hard-working and creative. When you sign with him he is 100% on your team — working tirelessly to find what you need and then negotiating hard make it happen. We lost our home of 26 years in the Palisades fire and went to open houses for over a year while we figured out what we wanted to do. Matthew was the seller’s agent at several of them and really stood out among the seemingly hundreds of agents we’d met as the perfect balance — knowledgeable, relatable, and truly committed to helping us find a home again. We had very specific needs that made finding a home difficult — including needing a two bedroom ADU for our autistic adult son and his caretaker. Matthew scoured not only the properties on the market but those that were not, finding an off-market house only being marketed to developers that we nearly bought. An additional complication of our search was the hundreds of displaced Palisades families that we were also competing against — one house that we put an offer on had 13 total offers, making it feel as if we would never find a home. The house that we finally bought happened because Matthew saw it the day it listed and told us to go look right away. With guidance from him and his partner Jay we made an immediate offer and wrote a letter explaining our situation. Without their help we would never have found this house in time. We feel so lucky to have found Matthew who not only helped us find our home but became someone we think of as a friend and hope to have in our life for a long time.

Working with Meredith and her team was outstanding from start to finish. They guided us through both buying and selling our homes with remarkable responsiveness, expertise, and professionalism. Their commitment to client service is second to none, and they consistently went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. For anyone seeking true concierge-level representation, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

We just bought a house with Matthew Freeman as our buyer's agent at Pardee. He was off the charts amazing! My wife and I consider him a good friend. He is clearly someone who finds meaning and purpose in his work. We felt right away that he was genuinely interested in matching us with a home where we could flourish. We had lost our home in the Palisades Fire, and having Matthew by our side meant so much. But he wasn't just compassionate and thoughtful, he also has incredible expertise with respect to Westside real estate. The house we ended up buying would have slipped under our Zillow radar without him. Finally, Matthew was an effective negotiator. He would go to bat for us even when he could easily have done less just to close the deal. House hunting can be an emotional experience. Matthew made our experience fulfilling and even fun!

Meredith is magic. Meredith is magic. She has some sort of magnetic energy that seems to bring only good things to everyone around her. She is incredibly poised, knowledgeable, reassuring, positive, and an absolute joy to work with. She genuinely had my best interests at heart, and I felt completely at ease with her throughout the entire process. Buying and selling a home can be incredibly stressful, but Meredith somehow takes that stress off your shoulders. She makes you feel calm, confident, and taken care of every step of the way. She is thoughtful, intuitive, incredibly capable, and always seems to know exactly what is needed in any given moment. Working with Meredith felt like having someone in your corner who truly cared about the outcome, not just the transaction. I could not have asked for a better experience or a better person to guide me through it. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home.

Emma is simply the best! If you're looking for a realtor on the Westside, look no further. She is knowledgeable, professional, and always gives honest, thoughtful advice. We toured more than 50 homes together, and throughout the entire process she was incredibly patient and supportive. At no point did she pressure us to make a purchase. Instead, she acted as a true trusted advisor, helping us evaluate every opportunity and make the right decision for our family. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care set her apart. We can't recommend her highly enough!

I highly recommend Tyler as a selling agent. I interviewed several agents, and Tyler stood out immediately—he answered my questions directly and, even before I signed with him, was already thinking like he was representing my sale and proactively reaching out to potential buyers. He took initiative throughout the entire process, from managing the touch-up project and keeping it on time and within budget, to getting the property listed quickly and strategically targeting the right buyer profile. His negotiation strategy was thoughtful, and he remained flexible as circumstances changed. Especially in a softer market, I really valued having an agent who was proactive, strategic, and focused on getting the deal done. I would highly recommend Tyler to anyone looking to sell in LA.

Rya and Zach were absolutely wonderful to work with! My situation was a little unusual since I was relocating from the East Coast and had limited time during each visit to LA. They worked around my schedule completely, often taking me to see 10+ properties in a single day. Throughout the entire process, Rya was incredibly thorough and attentive - no detail was ever too small or insignificant. I always felt that she had my best interests first and foremost, making sure we explored every property that might be a good fit without ever pressuring me into a decision. After three trips to LA, we found the perfect place for me, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m so grateful to Rya and Zach for their patience, dedication, and guidance throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home in Los Angeles!

We trusted Elle to handle the sale of our Mom's beautiful home, and she rewarded us with a deep knowledge of the local market, sound and patient advice at every stage of the sale, and excellent communication. There were many big decisions along the way, but Elle was always a calming force, especially for our Mom, for whom the sale was emotionally fraught. Elle kept the sale moving forward, but always at a pace that was considerate and comfortable. She swooped in when we were overwhelmed with details and leveraged the great team and contacts at Pardee to arrange cleaning, staging, hauling — whatever was needed to keep things on track. When multiple offers came in, we were impressed how Elle laid out the pros and cons and kept the communication to us and the interested parties clear. The result was a relatively quick sale at the hoped-for price, and a good — actually pretty great — experience for our Mom and all of us.

First time with this kind of endeavor and I cannot speak highly enough of the patience and commitment exhibited by Margie.

It was great to work with Tyler. He has a great, easy and charismatic candor. He is also straightforward. That's a difficult combination to find. It looked to me as if the sale of my property was going to be a real struggle. Tyler knew exactly how to handle it and get through all the perceived difficulties. It really was quite easy on my end. Tyler is a local, which I loved because my family has lived in Westchester since the 1940's. I highly recommend him as a Real Estate Agent.

We appreciated working with Emma, Paige, and the entire Pardee Team. Emma was professional, knowledgeable, and on top of everything throughout the process. She listened to our concerns and advised us on the best course of action. She and the Pardee Team were very responsive in answering all our questions and concerns, and guiding us through the overwhelming process of selling our home of almost 25 years. The Pardee boutique-team approach worked well, giving us the ability to work one-on-one with Emma while knowing that we (and she) were supported by a larger team behind the scenes. Emma and Paige are also very kind human beings.

Josh Flynn did a fantastic job leasing our Venice property this summer, which was a genuinely challenging rental market. It took several weeks to find the right tenant, but Josh stayed in close contact the whole time and kept a positive, reassuring attitude throughout. What really stood out was his thorough tenant vetting process — he clearly prioritizes finding the right fit, not just filling the home quickly. We ended up leasing at a rate we were happy with, and I'd highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a realtor who's communicative, patient, and diligent.

Working with Matt was the best decision we made. From the very beginning, Matt was incredibly patient, taking the time to answer every question, explain every step, and never making us feel rushed or pressured. And his deep experience as a real estate negotiator was evident throughout the process -- he was so thoughtful about our priorities, developed impactful strategies tailored to our goals, and consistently advocated for our best interests. Matt's a home-grown LA native, so his local market knowledge is exceptional. He provided valuable insights into neighborhoods (even those we didn't know about!), pricing, and market trends that gave us confidence throughout the entire process. Just as importantly, his communication was always clear, prompt, and proactive. We always knew where things stood, what to expect next, and felt supported every step of the way. What really sets Matt apart is the trust he builds with his clients. He is professional and effective, while also being warm and lovable. Our experience was so positive that I've recommended him to several friends over the last few years, and I wouldn't hesitate to do so again. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, strategic, patient, and genuinely committed to helping you achieve the best possible outcome, I highly recommend working with Matt. I certainly will.

We could not say more positive things about Meredith and her ability to help navigate the process of purchasing a home. To add to an already stressful process, we were first time home buyers who were living out of the area. We met multiple times over a year or so with Meredith and her team to narrow down the areas we liked and types of houses that would best fit our needs. It was so helpful to have Meredith guide us through every step and we felt confident that she was really advocating for our best interests. Highly recommend!
