ZillowVERIFIEDLooking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy South Bay insider who will make your home buying/selling process easy? Ian is your guy! Ian has a terrific attitude, knows all of the South Bay neighborhoods, and, most importantly, always goes above and beyond including being available for showing homes at any time, obtains great information from other realtors to help you navigate the process, and generally makes the home buying/selling process as painless as possible. Its like having a friend with your best interests at heart. During our purchasing process, Ian managed all of the moving parts, coordinating with escrow and making sure things stayed on track. Crucially, he also helped get us quotes for work, all while staying in the narrow escrow period.

ZillowVERIFIEDIAN has patience, he's flexible with his availability, and he is both resourceful and knowledgeable. We were actually working with a different agent when we met Ian but felt substantially more comfortable with him. The home we fell in love with had 15 offers which included several cash offers. Ian was able to make the difference for our family to get us the home. He is a talent, has a classy touch to business approach and a kind person. Recommend without reservation.

ZillowVERIFIEDIan was a great help in selling my home. He was professional yet personable. His knowledge of the area and his responsiveness got me an amazing offer on my home. He would go above and beyond by helping me with the move-out process and finding a place to store my items as well.

ZillowVERIFIEDOne of the best agents I have ever met. Works hard for you. Will even do physical labor to help get the job done. Has a array of personal to do anything and everything to meet his goals. He listed my home and with recommendations we had a buyer the first week. On the market and sold in less than 45 days. That's unreal

ZillowVERIFIEDIan did a wonderful job selling my business partner Miss Vicki's house in Palos Verdes that she assigned for me to do on her behalf. He was a true gentlemen always accommodating and helpful. Great open house and superb marketing i.e. drone video was incredible and awesome brochure. Needless to say he got us numerous offers within a week, closing at full price.

ZillowVERIFIEDI had the privilege of selling and buying with Ian, who brings a wealth of experience, knowledge, and salesmanship to every transaction. For sellers, he represents his clients in a professional yet relaxed manner and will make you feel at ease throughout the process. Advocating for you the whole way to get the best price that the market allows. For buyers, Ian is always looking for the perfect property and will work tirelessly to help you find your dream home. He sets realistic expectations and will find a home that fits your budget. His extensive background working in the highly desired El Camino and Bodger Park areas allows him insight that few other realtors possess. When I first met him, I knew I could trust him to help me accomplish my real estate goals and I encourage you to give him a try.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were a bit nervous about selling our home. We knew Ian from all he?d shared over the years. When we met he really made us feel comfortable about the entire process. He shared where the real estate market was for our neighborhood and where our home fits. We talked about timing, preparation, & we created a blueprint from start to finish. We are grateful Ian sold our home for more than we listed for, which was impressive in this changing market. We highly recommend him if you are seriously considering selling buying or investing.

ZillowVERIFIEDNowadays, real estate is all about the relationships. Fortunately for us, Ian Rusnells relationships made an incredibly competitive housing market significantly easier to navigate. From the beginning he really got to know us and was dedicated to finding us our dream home. He happily took us on tours or met us at open houses and helped guide us in the right direction when it came to making offers. Ian frequently reached out to the sellers agents to convey our interest and get answers. He worked closely with our mortgage broker, the inspectors and even city officials to help us navigate these foreign processes. Once we had a winning offer on our dream home, Ian connected us with professionals to help spruce things up. We are so grateful to have had Ian on our side and highly recommend him!

ZillowVERIFIEDIan is truly the best agent I have ever worked with. I have now sold two properties with him. Both had unusual obstacles. Ian once again took care of everything and kept me informed. He is a great person, makes you feel like you are a priority and a friend. Don?t hesitate to hire him he?s definitely there for you! Friendly, efficient & knowledgeable!

ZillowVERIFIEDAs first time buyers, Ian made the process feel a lot less complicated and stressful than it was. He never made us feel unimportant or dumb for not knowing how the process worked or the questions we asked along the way. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhood we bought in as well. He was able to get our offer accepted when we didnt think we had a chance and negotiated some seller concessions when we didnt think there would be any. A really good experience for us, we were glad to have him as our agent and will happily recommend him to anyone else in the area

ZillowVERIFIEDIan is a professional as well as a great person to work with! He sold our property in less than 2 days, and when that buyer wasnt qualified, he secured us a back up buyer almost instantly! With way over asking $$$! We highly recommend him for any and all clients, regardless of your budget!

Review for Member: Ian Rusnell
ZillowVERIFIEDIan sold my home in 5 days with 11 offers! I interviewed 3 agents & I felt most comfortable with Ian. He easily answered all my questions and concerns. He saw the work we needed to do before listing and he had someone for every project. We completed all the work on time. We listed at the high end of the market & Ian launched his marketing campaign. Within 4 days we had over 70 groups through. We accepted an offer another 7% higher! The buyer found more issues with the home and Ian easily negotiated a fair repair credit. I made more that had hoped for selling my home with Ian! I?m sure he can do the same for you.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom day one, Ian was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our search for a home, and was there with us every step of the way to navigate such a competitive market. While buying a home can be a very stressful endeavor, we enjoyed the process with Ian and he was always flexible to accommodate our busy schedules. Its clear that Ian truly cares about his clients, and he took the time to listen to our needs and find a home that was the right fit for us. If youre looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and dedicated, I cant recommend Ian highly enough!

ZillowVERIFIEDMan, you couldnt ask for a more responsive and on-the-ball real estate agent! In this tough market, your options are extremely limited, and a buyer needs a master negotiator in their corner. Ian was up to the challenge. He knew exactly what type of dwelling i was looking for, and patiently showed me property after property. Eventually we landed on one, and i ended up grabbing it for *under* asking price. Phenomenal! I closed on the house yesterday, and am now a new homeowner.I couldnt be happier with Ians understanding of the process, the market, and his incredible kindness and attention to detail as well. Highly recommended!

ZillowVERIFIEDIan has no qualms about working and standing up for what is in your best interest. When push came to shove on our house purchase he communicated clearly and effectively on our behalf. He is friendly, professional and was a major asset when things became complex. This wasnt our first time buying a home, but it was definitely the most fun.

ZillowVERIFIEDPositive: Professionalism, ResponsivenessIf you are in the process of interviewing real estate agents, you can stop. Ian is the BEST. We had a very unusual circumstance with a transfer on death during the COVID-19 pandemic. It would ve taken any of the family members 3 to 4 months to obtain the documents needed to close escrow. We put Ian on the task. He was able to obtain it in two weeks. Tell this man what you want and get out of the way!! The best agent I ve ever used!! Friendly, professional and efficient. We will be selling another property and you guessed it, Ian will be our agent????

ZillowVERIFIEDAs first time home buyers, (owners!) we made countless decisions over the past couple months. Deciding to work with Ian was among our best. We found Ian through Zillow and we found that his responsiveness from start to finish was top-notch. Ian was seemingly available 24/7 to answer our questions without making us feel like a couple of rubes. He has a network of people he works with from building inspectors to home insurance agents. What I appreciated about Ian is that he is not pushy about using his people and he never pressured us into a decision we were not comfortable making. Whether it was the selling agent, the lenders, home inspectors, or insurers, Ian was both our watch dog and our advocate whose affable demeanor kept everyones buns in gear.We give Ian our highest recommendation and hope to work with him in the future. Thank you Ian!Dan and Annette

ZillowVERIFIEDWhen it was time to sell our home we talked to several agents & chose Ian Rusnell. After doing all the final repairs Ian helped with final preparations. He had our virtual tour created & home professionally photographed. During everyones stay-home time in May, with Ians marketing expertise, Ian listed our home & we had 2 offers within 36 hours! He also took care of our need to stay & finish packing after our home sold at no cost. We already recommended Ian to our friends and neighbors. Wed continue to recommend him, but were outta here. See you! If you want to enlist a true professional, call Ian.

ZillowVERIFIEDI met Ian through my dad from one of his signs that he seen at an open house. Off the back I knew we were in good hands because Ian took time to help us purchase our first home. He is down to earth, positive, and just made the experience easier for us. We knew little of purchasing a house and this was all new to our understanding .He knew his work diffidently knowledgeable of the market and on top of his game. Ian came in and had a run down of realistic assessment of what to expect in the market. Whenever we had questions or concerns he was quick to respond to our text, calls and emails even when it was late. Ian was really patient with us. All of his recommendation in experts for the location of the house were qualified and excelled to our needs. Like I mentioned earlier Ian was able to make this journey for us real smooth a few bumps, but we managed to ride to the end. We highly recommend Ian and will be happy to utilize his service in the future!

When the homes we were looking for had a lot of buyer interest, Ian had my offer accepted over the others. Trustworthy is an understatement! When we ran into a problem with one of the properties I was interested in, Ian had the options and solutions to get through them. Thanks Ian!

ZillowVERIFIEDIan immediately scheduled a home for us to see the evening after we contacted him. We were looking in Echo Park & Silver Lake as well as in Redondo Beach. Ian was very accommodating in getting us all the details for every place we liked. After 2 days touring South Bay we put in an offer on THE ONE. Ian negotiated a discount from the purchase price on a new construction townhome. He guided seamlessly through the escrow process until we discovered our lender dropped the ball the week before closing. Between Ian & escrow and everyone he had involved, it seemed he helped move mountains to keep us on schedule with our move-in date. And it happened. We love our new place! We would recommend Ian to anyone looking to buy or sell in Redondo & throughout the South Bay.

ZillowVERIFIEDI would like to acknowledge Ian Rusnell for his work on my recent real estate sale. Ian presented a pre listing package on comparable recent sales in the area and informed me how the market was performing at this time. I chose Ian to handle my listing. Ian is very professional, knowledgeable and was very easy to work with. From preparing the home to listing, to the sale and through escrow, Ian kept me informed and made himself available to me whenever I had questions or needed assistance. I would highly recommend Ian Rusnell to be your next real estate agent.Mr. Good

ZillowVERIFIEDIan is a true professional in every way. My husband and I gave him a call purely based on positive word-of-mouth from our neighbors, and in reality, he was even better than expected. From the initial meeting to getting the house prepped and staged; from sensational open houses to finally picking from a handful of bona fide offers in just one week, Ians communication, promptness, attention-to-detail and friendly, optimistic demeanor always kept the ball rolling. His knowledge of market trends, the area and buyers psychology really gave us the edge. We truly could not recommend him more.

ZillowVERIFIEDIan helped us with the purchase of a rental property in 2019. He used his unique acumen to find an excellent off-market property, contacting the owner directly, arranging for a private viewing, and negotiating all preliminary parameters of the deal. With the sellers agent only indirectly involved, Ian had to function as a buyer-seller agent throughout the purchase transaction without any expectation for extra compensation. He also showed genuine dedication to negotiate the absolute best deal for us beyond our expectation.

ZillowVERIFIEDI met Ian in Manhattan Beach, his Open House, and immediately loved his professionalism and enthusiasm. For my next real estate purchase I was looking at several ideas. Ian researched and discussed what options were best. He also shared properties not listed for sale. He successfully negotiated our offer acceptance over other offers including cash. His well-networked reputation & knowing the listing agent well definitely helped. He got me what I wanted for our repair credits. He helped us close early, and assisted with communicating with tenants after the sale. I highly recommend him & plan to work with him again.

ZillowVERIFIEDIan Rusnell helped us achieve our goal of becoming first time homeowners quickly and painlessly! He was fun to work with, got us the results we wanted with as little stress as possible, and will definitely be recommended by us to family and friends. From visiting homes alongside us to writing offers for us, he was there to guide and support. We often had to act quickly, and his communication was key in keeping us informed. He also made connections with listing agents of homes we liked in order to get the inside scoops. As two full-time workers, my husband and I relied heavily on his communication, since we were often unavailable during the day when the action was happening. When our offer was accepted on a house in our dream location, Ian knew the process well, listened to what we wanted, and worked hard advocating for us through negotiations. We did not feel pressured at any point, but instead, he was transparent in discussing options and pulled from his wealth of knowledge and experience to help advise us as needed. Ian demonstrated perseverance in doing whatever we needed to close. When we finally shared a champagne toast to our new home with Ian, it felt like a celebration of triumph shared amongst friends. We will cherish that moment. He truly went the extra mile for us, and for that we are eternally grateful. As an added bonus, he is also well connected in the South Bay, which not only helped with inspections and questions we needed help with during the home buying process, but it continues to help us now with home improvements. Even though we have the keys to our new home, he still offers guidance, helps us get information from the seller about the home as we come across things, and will be with us as we roll out there welcome mat for a housewarming party.

ZillowVERIFIEDIan helped me sell my house in a less than perfect situation. He is an expert! He dealt with other realtors and potential buyers and had open houses Saturdays and Sundays. He assured me he would find me a home to lease before we closed escrow, so that I would be happy in my next home. We were able to close escrow at the right time and he negotiated the credits the buyer was requesting. Ian went all the way to ensure I was happy with every step of the transaction and stood by me to make important decisions. His expertise, knowledge of the market and ability to communicate with everyone in the field are outstanding! I highly recommend him and will call him again when I am ready to buy my next house.

His negotiation skills play a critical role in helping us secure the deal quickly among potential buyers. I also appreciate his cheerful character which makes the process easy and pleasant. Due to the sellers hard constraint, we had a 90 day escrow which was unusual. Ian put considerable amount of efforts and offered selfless help in making the process smooth and everyone happy. We really appreciate that!I would highly recommend Ian to you as a real estate agent!

ZillowVERIFIEDIan was great, very easy to work with and made the process painless for me. One of the hidden benefits with Ian is his contacts, he was able to make things happen much faster than I would have been able to (talking directly to mortgage broker and making things happen over the weekend and at odd hours). I may not have gotten the house if not for the extremely quick turn-around. All in all, would definitely recommend, thanks Ian!
