Repeat Performance

In 2019 we sold our home in Signal Hill after leasing it for 14 years. Ian was recommended to us by a good friend and he was absolutely amazing! We had not been in the area for all those years and didn’t know contractors who could help with getting it ready for market. Ian took care of ALL of it. So when my brother and mom passed away in 2020, we needed to sell their house in Pasadena and without hesitation we called Ian. Geographically Pasadena was out of the Long Beach area, but Ian did a complete work up of the property and put that deal together as easily as the Signal Hill property the year before. Both properties took less than a month to bring to market and then a month to close. And we hit our sales price. It doesn’t get better than that! Buying and selling real estate in California has become so complicated, but we never worried about anything because we knew that Ian had it covered. The whole experience was phenomenal. Not only did we meet the buyers, but toasted champagne at the closing. We feel so fortunate to have had such a positive relationship with everyone involved.

Persistent and Patient

My wife and I had the great experience with Ian as our agent. As first time homebuyers, Ian calmly guided us through the crazy housing market. He is a consummate professional communicated with us routinely and frequently through the housing search, was incredibly quick in pulling our offers together (there were a few), and was always the first and best resource when we had questions. He was patient with us and is persistent with the search. Always friendly and easy to talk to, he made the process enjoyable and exciting. At the end, we are so pleased to be settling into our new home thanks to Ian.

You're in Good "Hands"

Not only does Ian have tons of experience in the field, he's a good dude. I would see him around the neighborhood picking up trash and keeping our Hilltop Park beautiful.
Ian has a lot of intangibles that make him the right man for the job. He has a great attitude and charm that makes you feel at ease.
He is also cool under pressure. When issues arouse with the sale of my condo he kept cool and framed the issues in the best light. He always sees the big picture which I found reassuring.
He pays attention to details. We had a humming bird feeder that brought birds and life to our balcony and I told him I wanted to keep it there. Our kids loved looking at the humming birds and I wanted them to always be there. Anyway, Ian went and bought an even nicer feeder which he kept full throughout the sale of the condo. The feeder was beautiful and caught the attention of the buyer when she first saw the place.
Ian has awesome contacts and he's well respected. He had a gentleman service my AC unit. When the work was done I called the gentleman up to pay him, I was out of state so I told him the check would take up to a week 8 days to arrive. He told me, don't worry I've known Ian for a long time, I'll get it when I get it.
These are the things that absolutely convinced me that Ian was the best decision I made when I sold my house.

At the end of the day I'm very grateful for having worked with Ian. My home is sold but I still want to call him up to chat with him. I know he feels the same way about me. He became someone I look up to.

Very professional and patient realtor

Through the process of selling my property, Ian has been the most patient, professional and knowledgeable realtor imaginable.

Ian is the Best!

Ian is the best. We sold and bought through Ian. Both times he took the time to listen to our desires and shaped the entire transaction to satisfy them. He's very objective, pleasant and well educated. He can guide both his clients and other partners through the process to ensure a smooth and satisfactory transaction. I would use him on EVERY real estate transaction. A home is a huge part of your life and Ian has always gone above and beyond to help provide the ideal home for our family.

Ian is just the very best. He works hard and has so much knowledge of the market. A joy to be with

Ian was an invaluable asset in selling our home. He is extremely knowledgeable of the market, especially in Signal Hill. Ian was always promptly available to address our home sales needs and questions. He did a particularly excellent job hosting our “Open Houses.” He was consistently friendly and professional with all visitors. Ian was also able to walk us through our home’s “closing” process; thus keeping us feeling relaxed and comfortable. Ian was simply a joy to do business with - so important when selling your home. Our grade is an A++++++!
