ZillowVERIFIEDJohn Barrentine and Chuck Marquardt were incredibly helpful in getting us to where we wanted to be, particularly on the selling side of things. They laid out the process of selling our existing home and seeking a new one to purchase extremely well. Their knowledge of micro-neighborhoods for our home search was excellent, and they accurately predicted the market in establishing our sale price, resulting in multiple offers. They, along with Kristin Egli and their photographer and videographer vendors did an awesome job I preparing our property for market. Ultimately we decided not to move for emerging personal and family reasons, not anything related to what the RED team did or didnt do. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone seeking to sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDJohn, Chuck and the rest of the RED Real Estate Group successfully helped me and my brother sell our family home. They brought their incredible expertise of the LA real estate market, especially in the Carthay Circle neighborhood, but also their own special sauce to the table. We felt trepidation about letting go of the house. The RED team was encouraging but not heavy-handed. When we finally decided it was time, the Covid-19 pandemic shut everything down. John, Chuck and the team maintained their calm. While my brother and I thought it was "game-over", John and Chuck had in place a "game-plan". They gave us clear guidelines on how to prepare our house for sale even as we were sheltering in place. We cleaned, we packed up, we staged. Once the city allowed it, the RED team executed safe and seamless showings. We were impressed by their precision and ultimately, a sale of the house in no time. They made what could have been a very complicated and painful parting with one's home a painless and enjoyable experience. We are forever grateful.

ZillowVERIFIEDJust a wonderful experience. John, Chuck and Kristin are knowledgeable, passionate, honest, they know their neighborhoods, the laws, the codes, the schools, all of it. They listened to my concerns, answered all my questions and then answered them all again. They are patient and truly care about making their clients happy. We ran into some issues with overseas wiring from the buyers and RED stayed on top of it every second and represented me beautifully. I hated leaving my home of 21 years but through it they remained upbeat and were a calming presence. They're also just a lot of fun. I've bought and sold several properties over the years, and so many real estate agents say what you want to hear to get you as a client and then turn out to be tremendous disappointments. This was not the case with RED. They're the only agents I have ever written a review about and the only ones I would ever recommend. And I've worked with a lot of them.

ZillowVERIFIEDAll we can say is that this is most definitely the A Team!!! From Chucks annual visit to fill us in on local neighborhood transactions and moves in the market, even when I tried to discourage him, telling him that we would only ever be taken from our treasured house in pine boxes, to Johns charisma, professionalism, local market knowledge, and never ending patience with a very tricky seller (that would of course be my husband ??), to Shawns unending enthusiasm, extraordinary organization, rapidfire responses to usually dumb questions, and just plain warmth and friendliness, there is no team like this gang at Red! Well, now the pine boxes will be taking us from our delightful new (1907) home in Portland, Maine. Chucks soft touch and willingness to hold our hands throughout won us over, and we couldnt be happier that he did! If youre looking for top tier, these are your guys with Shawn at the helm. Having spent 20+ years in residential real estate in NYC, its not often that a team can actually make it FUN to handle as emotional transaction as selling the house in which you raised your children... But these guys are just the absolute best!! Well miss you guys and you darn well better come visit!! ??????

ZillowVERIFIEDRED real estate handled the sale of our home with precision, price-point expertise, marketing, and negotiations that were truly second to none. We had an above asking offer within 2 days of being on the market and closed quickly thereafter. From having their in-house handyman fix some odds and ends before our first showing to proposing sewer and drainage solutions on our behalf, their scope of service is broad and that is really what it takes to sell a house for top dollar. Their extensive support staff in the office proved to us that they are willing to spend money in order for their clients to have the easiest transaction possible. We thank them for their hard work and are grateful to have found them.

ZillowVERIFIEDCouldn't have asked for better service!!Big shout out to the team: Laura, Shawn and John were all exceptionally professional and helpful to ensure everything was taken care of accurately and on time.The seller and us were not in agreement on a few key issues. The deal could have easily fallen apart had the team not been so solution orientated. Greatly appreciated!! STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDRED Real Estate Group was very professional throughout the entire process of selling my mother's home. John used his extensive experience to handle sensitive negotiations and I felt very well cared for during this somewhat difficult transaction.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had a lot of issues come up with the condition of our home. This RED team jumped into action and went above and beyond what I'm sure any other group could do. We had already moved out of state so there was no way we could have dealt with these surprises that came up after our inspection. We can't recommend this team highly enough. Great people, easy to communicate with, and we very much felt taken care of.

ZillowVERIFIEDJohn Barrentine and the entire team at Red Realty was superb. John advised me to move out of the house I was selling and get settled into my new surroundings while they took care of the details to get the house sold. I was terribly sick at the time; yet the advice was perfect. I moved into my new home and the minute I was out, John's team was in getting the house ready to be shown. In very little time and with absolutely no inconvenience to me, the house was sold. Excellent work, they also got me a price I was dreaming and hoping for!

ZillowVERIFIEDI knew moments into my first meeting with the RED team they were the best choice to sell my property. I'd met a RED agent years ago at an open house and was so impressed I kept his information and when it came time to sell my property, reached out. He'd since moved back east (still with the company), but John and Chuck stepped right in with the same impressive knowledge and energy.Whether it was arranging for the different inspections and contractors to advice on fixes and showing aspects--John, Shawn and the rest of the team were there every step of the way. They were extremely thorough and efficient while being thoughtful and accommodating to my family's schedule and those of the tenants. They knew the best price point, listing time and marketing schedule--and they couldn't have been more right. The property sold very quickly and for exactly what they'd predicted.Selling a home can be an overwhelming process, but it never felt that way with RED. The level of integrity in their office gave me so much peace of mind. John is a straight shooter and I always felt informed and like I was in the best care. I hope to work with them again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDOur experience could not have been better! From the moment we hired the RED Group to sell our home, we felt cared for and had confidence we were in the best possible hands. John and Chuck explained every step of the process in detail and made it clear from the outset that they would work around our familys schedule and needs and they would take care of every detail. They did not disappoint. Theyre experienced, savvy, know the market, and pay particular attention to our neighborhood. In addition, they are truly kind, caring, and honest people who take pride in their work.They advised us about which home improvements would be worthwhile and which werent necessary; they arranged for all estimates from contractors, scheduled all work, and oversaw the process. They knew the best time to put the house on the market, they created a topnotch website and marketing campaign, and they quickly sold the house within the range we had hoped for (and near the price they had predicted).There are so many variables and so many details to look after in selling a home that you want the peace of mind of knowing youre in good hands and someone knowledgeable will be handling the process. With the RED Group, we never had any doubt of their ability or integrity. We certainly hope to work with them again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDJohn and Morgan are two of the most pleasant, enjoyable people to work with - but that was just an added bonus when they sold our home.They really know the market and laid out a strategy that had our home sold after 1 weekend, with multiple offers all well above asking. That's what really counts.And they made sure the deal closed without any problems, navigating us through a couple of issues that came up during inspections. This is a team you want if you're serious about selling your house.

ZillowVERIFIEDMorgan and John did a wonderful job finding a buyer for our home. They each have their own unique strengths and they work very well together as a team. If you are selling a property in the miracle mile area I would highly recommend talking to them.

ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend RED Real Estate for everyone's real estate needs. I bought a house with the assistance and representation of Morgan Pasco and John Barrentine in 2009. They were very dilligent and professional in all dealings with myself and the seller. They made the buying process as simple as possible. I have also enlisted RED Real Estate's help with renting a unit on my property and listing my property for sale. In all my dealings with them, I have found them helpful, caring and efficient in getting the job done! They go beyond the normal job requirements and take care of their clients to the full extent! I will use them again when the time comes for another purchase!

ZillowVERIFIEDEver since we have met and known John & Morgan, we were confident and comfortable in having them as our agents. Their experience and knowledge of the Los Angeles area was a plus for us, and with all of the real estate agents out there, they work harder for the buyer/sellers. I would highly recommend them as your personal agents.
