As local experts who live and work in these neighborhoods, we love to keep you informed. Feel free to reach out for a complimentary custom home valuation.

In January, Tami Halton Pardee, our Founder + CEO, was featured in the Wall Street Journal for her expertise:

“Tami Pardee, founder of Los Angeles-based Halton Pardee + Partners, said her firm had seven homes go into escrow in the week before Christmas—typically a dead time of year. She said sellers have lowered their expectations about prices and buyers are anxious that rates will rise further, both of which have contributed to a pickup in sales.”
