Eileen Lanza - Keller Williams Larchmont

Went Great! Brad Holmes of Keller Williams did a fantastic job of selling my home. He marketed my home and during the open house over a hundred people showed. I received several over asking price offers. I would most certainly use his services again the next time I sell my home and I will recommend him to others wishing to sell their homes.

It is hard to overstate how fortunate I feel that we found Eileen to help us buy our first home. I was a little nervous going in, because not only was it our first home-buying experience, but I didn't have any leads or referrals when it came to selecting an agent. But thanks to online reviews, we set up an appointment with Eileen, and it was an easy decision to move forward with her assistance. Eileen is smart, professional, and knowledgeable, but also funny and incredibly likeable. Especially once we got into the swing of things, I came to SO appreciate how valuable it was to be working with an agent that I just liked so much as a person. What a complete chore this process would have been -- in an already somewhat stressful home-buying journey -- if I'd felt any hesitation or awkwardness in giving Eileen a quick call/email/text and working through any number of scenarios with her always-helpful advice and counsel. And perhaps most importantly? Eileen is HONEST. I once toured a home with her that more or less fit what we were looking for, but it smelled quite strongly of cigarette smoke. I figured that the smell would satisfactorily dissipate with airing out, change of flooring, etc., but Eileen advised against putting in an offer -- she had a friend who bought a former smoking home, and the smell still lingered more than a year later. Obviously, if Eileen was only focused on "closing" our deal and moving on to the next buyer, she needn't have shared that advice. But at no point along our journey did I ever question for one moment that Eileen had anything but my family's best interest in mind. That's the kind of priceless trust we relied on with such comfort when, ultimately, we needed to decide how high of an offer to put in on a house that we knew would be receiving multiple bids (and that we really hoped to call our home). Eileen counseled us to the range that she thought might win the day without extending ourselves into territory that was, in her assessment, too high for the particular property. And, or course, she was right! We are so excited to finally have our first happy little home after renting for years, and so grateful to Eileen for everything she did along the way to make it possible. I will be recommending her to everyone I know.

Last year my husband and I decided we were ready to start looking for our first home in Los Angeles. After asking for recommendations, we got lucky and were referred to Eileen Lanza at Keller Williams in late November of 2013. Right away we could tell she was a great match for us. During our first in-person meeting we discussed the entire house-buying process and told her about about ourselves and what we were looking for. I appreciated how up front she was during that initial meeting as she told us what would be possible with our budget and what wouldn't be, and explained the ins and outs of the process. Her general attitude and approach made us feel feel confident that we'd find something perfect for our needs and we'd have fun along the way. At the end of our first meeting she told us she would find us a house by February and indeed she did! Throughout the time we worked with her she sent us listings and recommendations of places to visit and was always available and quick to respond to our many, many emails. She helped us narrow down our options and really figure out what we were willing to compromise on and what we weren't. After searching for a few months, we found a great place and made our first offer. With her guidance, we were able to close on our dream house within a few weeks and navigate the potentially overwhelming pile of paperwork and logistics associated with home ownership. We couldn't have done it without her and would happily recommend her to anyone and everyone, not only for her real estate expertise, but because she is a pleasure to work with!

The service turned out very well. The sale of the home was difficult and that had nothing to do with the agent or ourselves. The agent was attentive and pro-active with the service.

Eileen Lanza was my realtor at Keller Williams/Larchmont. She is a rare find! She is smart, thorough, 100% professional and always focused on my needs as a buyer. After looking at countless homes and making bids on at least a dozen, she was always thinking about new ways to be successful in this "seller's" market.Now that we just DID get a house, ( and ours was accepted over 24 other offers!!!) my only regret is that I won't get to see her as regularly... she's such a gem! I also appreciated how so many realtors knew and liked her... it was really helpful throughout the process

We interviewed Eileen Lanza first by phone from Seattle, WA then in person in Culver City on December 30, 2011. She was one of 4 agents from different companies. We had drove from Seattle to Culver City to prepare my husband's Aunt's house for sale. We were tired, irritable and short on time. Never mind we were doing this long distance. Here comes Eileen Lanza. She was energetic, realistically honest, positive, very sharp with good ideas AND she brought us donuts! After discussing our ideas and listening to everyone else's, Eileen stood out. We have never regretted our decision to go with her. Her intuition on how to market played out. The house sold in 2 weeks. My husband and I cannot express how much she did to take the pressure off. The paperwork went so smoothly. She was always in contact through phone or texting every step of the way. You will not go wrong with this honest, savvy agent.

Overall, any home purchase is very stressful, but Eileen was able to make it much less stressful than it would normally be. She always had our best interest at heart, and was very helpful with negotiating both price, and also negotiating repairs to be done that came up through the inspection process. She also was a great resource for loan officers and various inspectors to help us in all our transactions with her. She was always very prompt in returning phone calls and addressing any concerns. She is professional, reliable, knowledgeable, and really cares about her clients. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy, sell, or lease in the LA area.

As first time buyers, the anticipation of starting the home buying process was both daunting and stressful. My husband and I have known Eileen for many years, and working with her to purchase our first home seemed second nature. I am happy to say that our home buying experience was enjoyable and relatively stress-free. We also were able to work out what I consider to be a fantastic deal on a beautiful house in our target neighborhood. I am certain that we asked a million questions and required a lot of training in the real estate process. Throughout the entire transaction Eileen provided us with useful non-biased information and support. Looking back on the experience, I am absolutely floored that such a "big" purchase and seemingly stressful life event was actually fun. I credit a lot of this to Eileen's dedication and personal touch. I hope this is our last house, because we absolutely love it. However, if we were ever to look again, Eileen will be our choice of agent once again. We've recommended her to a few friends already. Nancy and Kurt Muller

It ended up being a complicated transaction, but Eileen navigated it superbly, and got us to the finish line very quickly. When and if we're ever ready to buy and/or sell again, Eileen will be our first call!
