My experience working with Ian Brooks of Berkshire Hathaway was fantastic from start to finish. He guided me through preparing my condo for sale and the entire sale process skillfully, efficiently, and flawlessly. He honored my priorities and his commitments, expertly handled every unanticipated situation, and was on top of everything from start to finish. He is super-smart, highly experienced, and skilled in every part of the real estate process. He produced a sale that exceeded my expectations, and I am delighted and relieved as I move forward from that experience. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.

Ian Brooks of Berkshire Hathaway nailed it! Earlier this year, my mother died. I was devastated, distraught, unsure about everything. And, did I say, living 3,000 miles away? Charged with selling my mother?s seventy-year-old house, I didn?t know what to do. Based upon my cousin?s strong recommendation, I turned to Ian. He handled everything from the clean-out, the minor repairs, the landscaping arrangements. His knowledge of West Los Angeles real estate trends proved invaluable. He recommended a few very modest cosmetic renovations that increased the house?s value dramatically and succeeded in bringing the house to market within 45 days of my mother?s passing. Very quickly, we had three offers on the house. Tasked with the negotiations, he secured a final sale well beyond what I thought possible and an amazing 14-day closing. Kudos to Ian and his Berkshire Hathaway team!
