I had a great experience working with Meredith and her group throughout the whole process. They were professional, knowledgeable, and responsive to all my questions and concerns. Their attention to detail and strong communication made the entire process much smoother and less stressful. They provided valuable guidance at every step and always kept my best interests in mind. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated real estate agent!

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.
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.
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!
Sometimes a dream stays a dream until the right person walks into your life and changes the equation. Enter Meredith Gruszka at Pardee Properties — our Dream Maker. As a native Angeleno, and with my Belizean husband Austin, we’ve always imagined a life oceanfront abroad. But leaving our Venice loft we called home — one block off Abbot Kinney — felt nearly impossible to imagine. We built our marriage there. Our family. Our life. We’ve known Tami Pardee for as long as we’ve lived in Venice, and for two decades we’ve watched her become not just one of the most respected and visionary names in real estate, but a true force for good far beyond it. Her brilliance is undeniable, but it’s her generosity, heart, and the way she consistently shows up for people and community that makes Pardee Properties stand entirely apart. Entrusting this chapter of our lives to her and her team felt deeply personal and profoundly right. With standards as high as ours, being impressed is rare, so what unfolded next was honestly shocking. Meredith transformed what could have been an overwhelming transition into an experience that felt exciting, grounded, and unexpectedly joyful. And somehow, while making us feel completely protected every step of the way, she also delivered an extraordinary financial result on our loft. Yes — bidding war included. Meredith navigated every moving piece with a level of strategic brilliance, emotional intelligence, calm, and intuition that allowed us to fully trust the process — something that does not come naturally to us. She anticipated problems before they surfaced, carried enormous complexity with remarkable ease, and consistently made us feel like we were not only in the best hands professionally, but personally as well. And Meredith is surrounded by people who operate at the same extraordinary level. Anna and Laura are deeply experienced, incredibly sharp, and masters of every detail. As Austin and I sit here now with our toes in warm white sand, watching the sunset melt into impossibly clear water, writing this from the life we once only talked about, we know exactly who helped make it possible. Some people sell homes. Meredith changes lives.
Would highly recommend working with Meredith Gruszka! She was professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful as we bought our first home. She made the process stress free and made herself available anytime she had a question. She really knows her stuff!
We could not have asked for a better selling agent than Meredith! From day one, she was responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us sell our home with the right buyer. Her guidance on pricing, preparation, and timing was spot, while always listening to what we wanted and making any adjustments that were in our best interests. It made a tremendous difference in both the level of activity we received and the final outcome. Meredith was proactive, very communicative, detail-oriented, extremely punctual and always one step ahead — making what could have been a stressful experience feel organized and seamless. She navigated every step with confidence, transparency, and expertise. We would recommend Meredith and her incredible team without hesitation. It was a top-tier experience from start to finish!
Meredith has got to be the best realtor this side of the Mississippi. She was very attentive to my needs. She went the extra mile to make sure my process ran smoothly and made herself available whenever I had any questions. She makes the selling process feel very hands off which I loved.
5 stars. All vibes. Meredith is relentless. Great energy. Calm, confident, unfazed. She made a stressful process feel manageable, even kind of fun. I had so much trust in her I just got out of the way—and that’s saying a lot. She handled everything. We got what we wanted. No small task given the LA housing market and the uniqueness of what we were selling. If you want someone who’s sharp, dialed-in, and emotionally intelligent enough to handle the highs and lows of a real estate transaction in this city, you want Meredith. Use her—or don’t. But if you don’t, that’s on you.
Meredith did a FANTASTIC job representing me on the purchase of my new investment property in Venice. She coordinated with a particularly difficult mortgage broker and a nervous seller. Meredith is now my go to realtor in Venice, Santa Monica, and all over the westside. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!
As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better guide through the process. Meredith was incredibly responsive every step of the way and made sure I always knew what to expect. Following her expertise helped us beat a competitive, earlier offer. She proactively flagged things—like potential delays with HOA documents during the contingency period—which helped me stay ahead and feel confident in my decisions. She also had fantastic recommendations for other professionals I needed throughout the process, which made everything so much smoother. Beyond her professional expertise, she’s just a truly wonderful human being. She has such uplifting, positive energy and is a joy to be around. I feel so lucky to have worked with her—and to have gotten to know her in the process.
Meredith was fantastic to work with in selling my condo. She has a deep understanding of the local market and provided valuable guidance on pricing and strategy. Thanks to her expertise, we received multiple offers and she skillfully negotiated to secure a fair price, all within a short timeframe. I truly appreciated her professionalism, responsiveness, and knowledge throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!
Meredith was outstanding to work with. From the minute we spoke, I knew we had found our agent. We're not easy to please and extremely detailed oriented and yet Meredith was always a step ahead of us. Our purchase was a very bumpy one and yet Meredith made it seamless. She's extremely professional, beyond hard working, great negotiator, level headed and just down right lovely. SO thankful we found Meredith!
Meredith is responsive, kind, and follows through. She navigated a really challenging deal with my husband and I that had more moving parts and confusion than a regular home sale. She never lost her cool and got us to the end result with a smile and kindness. I appreciated how responsive and on the ball she and her team were and her humility in the process. I’d definitely recommend Meredith to friends and family.
We had an absolutely incredible experience working with Meredith! We weren’t even actively looking to buy, but when we fell in love with a home, she guided us through the entire process with ease and expertise. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel smooth and stress-free. Meredith’s knowledge, responsiveness, and genuine care made us feel like we were working with a close friend or family member. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor and would recommend her again and again!
Words can't describe or express. Meredith gets it. Not just the "it" of property, but the "it" of life itself. She arranges and flows in deals like the water flows in a river to its source. You simply can't find a more perfect guide to your most perfect home. Home, after all, is in the heart. Meredith helps bring to life the home of the heart in the world outside, so you simply rest and bask in the joy and love of home, inside and out! Much gratitude to her.
Meredith walked in and we knew we could trust her completely. Literally we felt we could do as she advised and all would be perfect. And guess what -- all was perfect. We closed in less than a month to the most amazing buyers and had multiple offers. She is such an open channel in transactions that you can't help but just want to do as she advises. She has no ego about the work, only heart. She wants the best for everyone involved. She is in tune. If you want your highest good in your next transaction and home, you want Meredith.
I cannot recommend Meredith Gruszka enough! She is the most organized and effective realtor my wife and I have worked with (and we’ve worked with several). Beyond her professional skills, she is also incredibly thoughtful and caring. As first-time home buyers, the process was daunting. Meredith’s expertise was crucial in navigating it successfully. Here’s what set her apart: 1. Exceptional Options: Meredith found incredible homes for us to consider, tailoring her search to our needs and wants. 2. Efficient Viewings: She quickly scheduled both open houses and private viewings, even for properties that were on the market less than 24 hours. 3. Strategic Insight: She identified potential comparable properties and informed us when there were none, helping us make swift, informed decisions. 4. Negotiation Expertise: Meredith provided expert advice on negotiation strategies and leveraged all available options to secure the best deal for us. Once our offer was accepted, Meredith went above and beyond to ensure a speedy closing (21-day escrow). She utilized her extensive network, including lenders, insurance providers, contractors, and inspectors, to facilitate the process. Most importantly, even after the deal was finalized, Meredith continued to support us. She checked in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed and made us feel like VIP clients. Thanks to Meredith, we closed on the home of our dreams! We plan to use her for all our future real estate needs. In Meredith, we’ve found not only a trusted expert but also, hopefully, a lifelong friend.
Meredith was the only one we wanted to work with to sell our condo. She had represented us previously when we purchased our new home in 2021, and we were thrilled to work with her again, this time as sellers. She was concientious about every detail. Fantastic communication skill…

As a first-time homebuyer, Meredith was a incredible asset and lifeline for me as I navigated the home-buying process. She came highly recommended from a very close friend and Meredith exceeded all expectations I had for a real-estate agent. Meredith and her team at Pardee Proper…
As first-time buyers we were nervous about wading into the market, but Meredith made the process of buying a breeze. We contacted her through Zillow while putting in a spur-or-the-moment offer on a local house, and she turned around a pre-approval and offer letter in less than f…
Meredith helped us reach our stretch goal by using her personal contacts to answer questions outside of her scope and by agreeing to push onward and not settle, even after we got our base number. She is tenacious and sharp, yet also kind and understanding and was willing to colla…

Meredith came on board with us when we thought we were just looking around only to find a home we wanted to purchase the same day. The problem was, however, we hadn’t sold the home we were in. Not only did she work with the seller’s agent to get a contingent offer accepted, she h…
Meredith is truly ONE in a million! If you are looking for someone who goes the extra mile, is a joy and easy to work with, and whom you can trust through every step of the selling process – Meredith brings that to the table and much more! She is that partner you want on your side! After interviewing several agents (even speaking to previous clients from each agent), I was confident I wanted to work with Meredith. And I’m SO incredibly grateful I did! We aspired to list our condo within a tight timeframe (2 weeks to prep, photograph and list) and Meredith worked diligently to make sure it happened (including planting gorgeous flowers HERSELF on our patio on the hottest day of the year). Within one week of listing, Meredith brought us 6 offers and we closed well above our asking price. She is genuine, super knowledgeable, a master negotiator, well prepared, level-headed, very responsive, and has an amazing positive attitude. From start to finish, she was our champion!
We were first time buyers in the US and had no idea how things worked - loans, escrow, insurance, inspections etc. Meredith guided us through the whole process with expertise and patience.
I love this woman more than cake. More than sushi! More than wine. Well, definitely cake and sushi 🙂 I seriously cannot recommend Meredith more. Meredith found us our absolute dream home!!!! At the height of the market AND while dealing with my husband and my absolute ridiculous indecisiveness, endless neighborhood changes, school district and home style preferences, she pulled together all our needs and wants and found us our forever home in Studio City. I love our home so much and think about her and how she made this possible for us more often than not. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Meredith worked as our Buyer agent for our most recent Studio City home purchase in Spring of 2022 during a peak Sellers market. She somehow managed to get us the home of our dreams within our budget. In working with other agents in the past, I sometimes felt that I was doing all the work (finding the homes, strategizing offer terms), but that was not the case with Meredith. Not only was she out there finding us homes we hadn't considered and being completely accommodating to our weekly neighborhood and budget changes, but she is a master negotiator. She positioned us as the preferred buyers for every house we made offers on, making friends with the Selling agents quickly and getting us the inside scoop on what was really important to the Sellers. We could not recommend Meredith more highly for anyone looking to buy a home anywhere in LA.
