Happy Client Reviews
Colleen was great! Always available and quick to answer any questions I had. Very flexible in helping me get what I needed to sign my rental lease for my new apartment.
Colleen is wonderful! Being a first-time homebuyer, I'm a bit nervous and needed a lot of help to find my future home. Luckily I have Colleen from Pardee Properties to work as my agent. Colleen was very patient to accommodate my schedule during the house hunting process. When I found the ideal home with her help and decided to make an offer, Colleen took care of everything for me from communicating with seller's agent to preparing all the documents and answer all my questions promptly. She guided me through every steps of the process, and provided her insightful advice to help me make my decisions. Buying a home could be complicated, but with Colleen's help, I never felt overwhelmed because I know I have an expert that I can trust on my side. I really enjoyed working with Colleen, not only because of her amazing work, but also because her kindness -- she even drove all the way from Santa Monica during rush hour to give us a congratulation gift and card on the closing day! Thank you Colleen!!!
Colleen was amazing to work with. She was prompt and flexible in setting up viewings and used her network to get private viewings. Though I was pretty certain I found the right place for me, she set me up with a number of comparable viewings to make sure I was completely informed. Once the purchase process started, her knowledge and organization was invaluable! As a first time buyer, it was really valuable to have someone who could articulate each step through the process, well in advance.
Colleen has been exceptional throughout our home buying process. She was engaged and understood our needs and constraints. She was always on time for appointments and helped us only look at properties that truly fit our needs. She is intuitive and has tremendous knowledge about the local area that helped us put in competitive offers and never pushed us. She takes initiative to connect with the sellers and ultimately helped negotiate a great deal. With our busy work lives, She helped navigate the post acceptance tasks and made it so easy for us! She connected with escrow, inspectors promptly and proactively. Colleen really made this seamless for us and having her on our team made this process stressfree!
Colleen was the first agent I worked with, and i'm glad I did cause she really drove the process and explained all the aspects to me. She was warm from the get go, and helped me with scheduling all the house tours keeping my schedule in mind. She explained all the confusing areas of home buying and was patient when I repeated my questions. She guided me through the escrow and explained key dates and what they imply. Her responsiveness and attention to detail is what got me to end up buying my first home. She was sweet enough to buy me champagne and one of my favorite chocolates as a thank you, even though it was me who should have the done it for her. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in the LA westside.
Colleen was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was extremely responsive in all ways. If I called and if she wasn't available she got back to me soon after. She is kind and has a very easy way while at the same time is on top of all the details and things that need to get done. She knows who to call and where to go to get done everything that is required complete the complex task of purchasing a new home. She exudes the kind of confidence, respect and experience that made me very confident in her as my realtor. She's also just fun to work with! She's a gem.
Colleen is an Outstanding, both as a real estate professional and a person! She performed the impossible for my transaction, in record time and was always responsive within minutes to any questions and concerns I had. More importantly, Colleen knew all aspects ahead of any deadlines and there were zero roadblocks to a successful closing. The great synergy within Pardee Properties was reflected in this purchase. Colleen also had great communications with other agencies to ensure I saw their listings as fast as possible for viewing. This alone is a valuable attribute as most transactions have more than one company involved. Colleen is the first person I will be calling for my future real estate needs because of her skills and great dedication to excellence.
Colleen is an absolute gem. Absolute! A hard working mama, she’s polished professional, timely, and always available. Available is NOT to be undervalued. When you find a property ya want, ya gotta bid asap. She always made herself readily avail for these critical negotiating moments for us as real estate developers and investors. We SOOOO appreciate that.We bid on several Venice properties with Colleen and my family absolutely adores her. I lived for years in Venice myself and can attest to her deep knowledge of Venice Beach. :) Anyway, she’s truely a breath of fresh air, in an industry full of questionable folks. Real estate can be high stakes bloodsport and also delicate. She toes the balance beautifully. Highly recommend her, she’s our valuable secret. Should we move forward with future purchases or sells would enjoy working with Colleen once again. Thanks Colleen!
Colleen was instrumental in helping my boyfriend and I lock in a place we love. We were largely working from the east coast and Colleen was our trusted eyes and ears and was very helpful and understanding of logistical challenges due to distance. She helped us negotiate a number of additional requests, all of which were ultimately agreed to.
Working with Colleen to buy my first house was a fantastic experience. She was extremely responsive right from the get-go, answering all questions very quickly and in an easy-to-understand way. The entire process felt very efficient with her: showings scheduled and setup the same day, keeping an eye out for any new listings, paperwork was a breeze, and she had a depth of experience in the west Los Angeles market. Thank you Colleen!
