ZillowVERIFIEDWhen your making a purchase this big, you need someone who will fight to make sure you get the best outcome. That is Eric!! The process from start to closing is like knowing you are holding ALL the cards before negotiations begin. When we were ready, Eric owned the engagement and we won! When your ready to sell or purchase, Eric is on it...

ZillowVERIFIEDEric, Angelica, and the entire Sothebys team were active, attentive, forthright, and honest during the whole of our selling process. Their thorough prep of the property yielded multiple offers, and their expert guidance helped us choose the right buyer with whom to close. We are very grateful for this team and we will not hesitate to use them again and recommend them to friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIEDI recently purchased and sold a home with Eric and Angelica. They were absolutely wonderful to work with. Highly knowledgeable of the market and the area we were looking in and are extremely strong in negotiation skills. Everything went seemlessly and was handled professionally. They were very responsive and always answered all of our questions immediately. My team worked closely with them as well and had a very positive experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering buying or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis was without a doubt the most quality realty experience we could have possibly imagined. Correction, we didn't even imagine service at this level was possible. We felt heard, we felt smart, we got our dream house, we were cared for at every step along the way, we were cared for AFTER the process was over... Eric and Angelica and Garrett are a world class team. Above and beyond above and beyond. Was a privilege to experience that.

ZillowVERIFIEDEric and his team helped us to find out first home in one of the most competitive markets. They were patient with us, as we took nearly a year until we found our forever home. We would highly recommend working with them and will definitely do so for any future purchases we have. We are so grateful for all that they did to make it happen for us!

ZillowVERIFIEDEric gives his clients a 5 star experience. He is very knowledgable in the market, professional, timely, and get us a great deal. Best of all he is a CLOSER and got us into our dream home! I will definitely be using Eric again in the future. His team is very organized, answered our questions every step of the way, and made us feel comfortable as first time home buyers.

ZillowVERIFIEDI am beyond thrilled with the service that Eric and his team provided. We came to them with an existing listing and an obvious challenge considering the difficulty we had initially selling. He, Angelica and Garrett worked super efficiently to get the house fully ready for its relaunch. I was hesitant and pessimistic given the past, but let them step in and take control. They truly handled every aspect of the selling process, and did it flawlessly. They are extremely attentive and highly strategic with every decision they make. As a new developer, I am keen on being hyper critical to most decisions. Even with that perspective, I was extremely impressed with their work. Our listing went live on a Sunday and by the following Sunday we had an accepted offer. The results speak for themselves - Eric, Angelica and Garrett did a killer job from start to finish with our property. Its for that reason that I'm continuing to work with them now. I'm now just hoping they can maintain the high bar that theyve created for themselves. :)

ZillowVERIFIEDEric and Angelica are the truly THE BEST and their approach to agenting the very definition of white glove service. Selling a house when you are a busy executive can be daunting and distracting. These guys take care of everything for you. Literally everything. From finding a temporary rental to negotiating with painters and handymen to orchestrating staging to creating beautiful sales materials to navigating every step of escrow they leave no stone unturned in terms of service. Eric and Angelica were a god send and available to answer any questions literally 24/7 earning every cent of their commission on my sale. I know not only have amazing, trusted real estate agents for life but good new friends to boot. Use these consummate professionals you will be so glad you did!! And a special props to Angelica who communicated with me almost daily on all our needs and questions, and made sure to see everything through until the end (and even after)!aEUR?

ZillowVERIFIEDEric and his team take the stress and anxiety out of buying and selling your home. I have worked with them multiple times now and continue to be impressed with each experience. In this case, I was selling a home and Eric, Angelica and team took care of every aspect of the process in a very professional manner, from staging it so beautifully that I am certain it more than paid for itself to selecting the right timing and precise pricing to result in a multiple bidder situation. They handled every little thing that arose, and the best part was that I never had to worry about any of it because I know how exceptional they are at what they do from years of experience with them. I highly recommend them.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe've worked with numerous agents in the past, and when we decided to sell our home last year in 2018, we went through our roster of contacts, but wanted someone fresh and aggressive this time around. We quickly got in touch with Eric (as he was actually the listing agent when we purchased our home back in 2015) and he came to meet with us right away. Eric is very savvy and was a likable person from the moment we met him. Eric and his team made the process seamless and very easy, and although we went through a few escrows that fell through, Eric always had a quick solution. Eric and Angelica are super thorough and really take care of their clients in every situation, whether it be with third-party vendors, the opposing agents, etc. I strongly recommend Eric and his team for any purchase or selling of a home - not only are they extremely knowledgeable and talented in the real estate field, but we felt like we were really taken care of during the entire process. A big props to Angelica who communicated with me almost daily on all our needs and questions, and made sure to see everything through until the end (and even after)!

ZillowVERIFIEDEric Lavey is a consumate professional. We've worked together multiple times and I wouldn't use anyone else. His team is smart and savvy, and the whole operation runs like clockwork. Eric made a complicated situation feel easy, and got my home sold for well over asking.

ZillowVERIFIEDI've used Eric twice in buying a home - for a condo purchase in 2010 and a home in July 2017 - and I wouldn't use anyone else. Eric is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, well-connected with great relationships and an expert at winning in multiple bid situations and closing the deal. He also has a great team who take care of everything once into escrow, including setting up inspections and appraisals, answering any questions along the way and making the entire process run smoothly and professionally. He's a master of his craft and he and Angelica make you feel taken care of throughout the course of the process. I couldnt recommend him and his team any more strongly.

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen we were searching for the right realty agent to represent our house for sale, we contacted several highly reputed realtors. Our introductory meetings at our home--first with Erik Lavey, and then with Feroz Taj--made us decide immediately to go with The Agency. During those meetings at our house, both expressed their ideas and approaches clearly and answered our questions fully. They were optimistic about results, courteous, and entirely knowledgeable of the field.Never did we regret our choice. Their staff reflected the same high standards they had displayed. The sophisticated team included Angelica Monroe and Adam Dehrey. Each conveyed a personal interest in our achieving the best goal in the sale of our house. Friendly, entirely accessible, this team of wonderful representatives of the Agency made us feel that they were personally invested in our venture. An added advantage to their representation was their sensitivity toward our feelings involving our house. Our experience with the Agency was entirely successful. Throughout, the Agency upheld its prestigious reputation on every level of representation. We will recommend them enthusiastically.Michael Ewing & John Rechy

ZillowVERIFIEDEric helped me buy my first house many years ago and he was a fantastic partner throughout the process. He has a tremendous amount of knowledge about various areas and really took a lot of time to help me find the perfect place. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for sage advice or the right person to represent them in what can be a comicated process! Can't recommend him enough

ZillowVERIFIEDAt our first sit down meeting with Eric the first words out of my husband's mouth were "I should tell you now, we don't trust real estate agents." Then we proceeded to trust him absolutely. He truly listened and understood what we were looking for from the moment we met. He and his team made every step of the process as easy as possible. We couldn't have imagined a better experience as first time home buyers. Eric is a true master of his craft. His acute knowledge of and respect for architecture, design, culture, and art, especially as they pertain to Los Angeles, only add to his expertise. I highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIEDOur first home purchase was scary. From start to finish, Eric and his team went above and beyond in our home purchase, removing that fear. They think of everything and handle it all. We got the house we loved in a tough buyers market at a price we felt great about. The inspection process, escrow and now, even post-close, they have taken care of every detail. And if you want referrals for contractors, their network is huge and no one wants to run the risk of pissing them off, so you get great service. We couldn't be happier with Eric, Angelica and the rest of the team!

ZillowVERIFIEDEric & Angelica have been nothing but brilliant the whole way through the process of purchasing our home in LA. They have gone above & beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly during the process and also after moving in. I am really very glad that we had them during the process of buying as we couldn't have asked for a better team to do business with. Thank you to you both! We really appreciate all of the help you have given us!

ZillowVERIFIEDI've known Eric for 4 years. He originally helped me find an apartment to rent in LA. Since then, and as my interest in buying has increased, Eric has shown be properties on occasion that were in the range of what I was seeking. And then this fall he identified a property that was just right for me and he and his team have helped me through the process to purchase. I closed earlier this week. Eric has always been very much in tune with my tastes and what I wanted in a home--this one in the Hollywood Hills! Always a pleasure working with Eric and Angelica.

ZillowVERIFIEDBuying a home is a complex process. Selling a home is a complex process. Doing both at the exact same time is insane. But that is exactly what our family just did. And the only reason it was not overwhelming was because of the support we received from Eric and his team at the Agency. We were looking to buy a new home, but in order to do so we needed to sell the current home we were living in at the same time. With Eric's expert guidance we found the perfect home and with his skilled negotiation in a multiple offer scenario we got the house at the right price and ideal terms. We then had to urgently sell the home we were living in. Eric and his team moved at the speed of light to get our house ready to list and show within a week. We were in contract within DAYS, before the first official open house. While our house is a gem there's no doubt that it was because of Eric's reputation, marketing, and his team's hard work that the house sold so quickly. Buying and selling a home involved numerous meetings, inspections, coordination with multiple people, and an enormous amount of paperwork. Angelica, Eric's Director of Operations, kept us on track and informed every step of the way for both houses. Her communication was exemplary and she responded immediately to all of our needs. We are now happily preparing to move into our new home and owe it all to them. If you are looking to buy or sell a home look no further. Thank you Eric, Angelica, and everyone at the Agency!

ZillowVERIFIEDEric helped us purchase our first home as a family in the Beverly grove area, and working with him was a great experience from start to finish. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, enthusiastic about his work, and patient. He makes you feel like his priority regardless of what else he has going on, and let us take our time to find the right home. While we don't want to move anytime soon, we look forward to working with Eric again!

ZillowVERIFIEDEric and his staff were amazing. They helped me complete a 1031 exchange on an extremely tight time frame and even helped me draft a lease and get a tenant in the property. They made the entire process as easy and efficient as possible and I'll definitely be utilizing their services again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have known Eric for many years. He helped us with our first home in West Hollywood. When we were ready to sell and buy again Eric was the first and only agent we thought of. Here's why:- His understanding of the LA market is unparalleled. - He took the time to understand our vision and needs and worked tirelessly to help us find the right fit. - He always treats us like his number one client regardless of how busy he is (and he is). - He is a savvy and expert negotiator. We would not be in our Bel Air home today if it wasn't for Eric's guidance and knowledge of the process. - We continue to look to Eric for advice on the market and how to add value to our home because we value his opinion so much.- Not only is he a class act professionally, but he is also genuinely a great guy. If you're looking for an agent who knows what he's doing and is great to work with look no further.

ZillowVERIFIEDIn a crazy LA market where houses move in 7 days or less, Eric was able to close a deal for us on our first home in under 2 days, allowing us to escape a sure fire bidding war. He held our hand every step of the way, and had an extraordinary amount of patience as we asked and re-asked so many questions that we had as first-timers. His professionalism and courtesy were both top notch the entire way. His team also did a really amazing job of making it as easy as possible for us to navigate through a hugely important step in our lives (Victoria you rock!).Eric also sold our condo in 7 days and executed his plan of doing so perfectly. We got more than we originally expected, and we had ZERO hassles... PERIOD.His passion for the business comes through in his work, and it doesn't hurt that he has excellent taste. My wife and I highly recommend Eric!!

ZillowVERIFIEDEric worked with me several years ago in a process to redesign my condo. He provided outstanding advice on design choices that we could love while we lived there and that boosted the resale value. A few years later we decided to put the condo on the market and Eric was fabulous from the first call. He was always available, his advice was perfect and he found a buyer before we even listed the property. He always listened to my needs, anticipated the right buyer and helped us close the deal faster than I could have imagined. He is a true pro with the highest ethics in the industry.

ZillowVERIFIEDEric has helped us sell two properties, buy two properties, and all sorts of advice in between. From the very start of working with him over 6 years ago, it was obvious Eric was a professional like no other we had experienced in real estate. Many times he has proven himself as being for our best interest, and he has gone above and beyond to make sure we are happy more times than I can count. Whether it is dealing with multiple offers, getting in on a competitive sale, or providing ridiculous support through the closing process, Eric is unparalleled. He is the only agent we would ever consider in LA, and tell all our friends to go his way. Stop your search, Eric is the agent you need!

ZillowVERIFIEDEric was great. He was superhumanly responsive, immensely knowledgeable about LA neighborhoods, aggressive with the other side when appropriate, and very friendly and approachable for first-time newbie buyers like us. Buying a home in LA is an ordeal for many reasons, and anyone who buys here has a "crazy" story about how they beat all other offers to secure their home. Eric will navigate you through that process so that you can land your home and have your own "crazy" story. I have total confidence in his ability to close deals and would highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIEDBased on what we had heard from others, we braced ourselves for a lengthy home buying process and were already committed to spending our Sunday afternoons at open houses for the next few months. Everyone else went through it so why would it be any different for us? Surprisingly though, it was different for us, and we are certain that Eric was the difference maker. Eric's knowledge of the real estate market/inventory quickly helped us locate what would be our new home. We didn't have to compromise on the location or our budget, which were the two most important things to us. Not only did we find a home in our ideal neighborhood, but we weren't going to be stretching ourselves too thin every month. Furthermore, Eric's savvy negotiation skills helped us come out on top of a multiple counter offer situation where the likelihood of being outbid was high. Then, once we were in escrow, Eric was always available to help navigate us to the closing. He even offered some great renovation tips along the way!Everyone says that buying a home can be a stressful time. We're not going to say that it wasn't stressful, but Eric made the experience more pleasant. We highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to buy a home.
