ZillowVERIFIEDLiving in the San Francisco Bay Area, it was really important for me to find a hands-on, can-do, highly communicative real estate agent in Santa Monica to sell my father-in-laws house. Scott Price was all that and more. Preparing the house for sale took several unanticipated twists and turns, involving moisture abatement, electrical repairs, and plumbing updates, on top of the usual prepping and staging. Scott energetically and strategically tackled each new challenge that arose. He was always positive, and no task was too small or too big for his undivided attention. After two open houses and multiple bids, we couldnt be happier with the sale priceaEUR"well over the asking priceaEUR"and the lovely family who will be moving in. Working with Scott, I always felt completely confident that the project was in the best hands.

ZillowVERIFIED We met Scott Price about a year ago, and honestly, from the very beginning, we knew he was the right person for us! Buying in Santa Monica can feel very overwhelming, but Scott immediately made us feel confident and informed. He took the time to educate us on every part of the process. From understanding the contracts to learning the nuances of the local market, Scott gave us invaluable advice on how to compete in such a competitive marketplace. We searched for almost a full year, and not once did Scott pressure us into making a decision. Instead, he consistently stood by our side, encouraged us to be patient, and reminded us to focus on making the right long-term decision rather than rushing into something. That level of honesty and professionalism meant a lot to us. In the end, it absolutely paid off! Scott helped us find EXACTLY the home we were looking for and somehow managed to get our offer accepted before the property even officially hit the market - which is incredibly rare!! On top of that, he negotiated a substantial credit back from the sellers and even brought in multiple contractors to provide bids for the remodel work were planning. Were beyond impressed with Scotts professionalism, knowledge, negotiation skills, and dedication to his clients. Over the past year, weve not only worked with an outstanding real estate agent, but weve also genuinely become friends. He is the best! Even our baby is a big fan. We truly enjoyed the entire experience working with him. If you want high-quality representation and actually want to enjoy the home-buying process, go with Scott Price.

ZillowVERIFIED Conocimos a Scott Price hace aproximadamente un aA+-o, y desde el primer momento supimos que era la persona indicada para ayudarnos en la compra de nuestra casa.

ZillowVERIFIED I cant say enough great things about my real estate agent, Scott Price. My Ocean Park Santa Monica townhouse had been rented for 9 years, and when the tenant finally vacated, the property was in rough condition. What initially felt overwhelming became completely manageable thanks to Scotts vision, guidance, and hands-on involvement throughout the entire process. Scott didnt just list the property; he curated the complete transformation of the unit before it went on the market. He helped oversee every detail, including installing beautiful sheer curtains, replacing outdated doorknobs, upgrading every old coffee-colored outlet to clean modern white Decora outlets throughout, selecting and installing 12 new light fixtures, coordinating all new paint, updating the bathrooms with new vanities, faucets, and mirrors, and replacing all of the carpet. The end result was stunning and completely transformed the feel of the home. Most importantly, Scotts strategy and execution delivered incredible results. We received an offer for $101,000 over asking price after just 6 days on the market, and we closed escrow only three weeks later. Truly remarkable, especially in what many would consider a challenging market. Scott is thoughtful, detail-oriented, hardworking, and exceptionally knowledgeable. I'm incredibly grateful for his expertise and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell property in Santa Monica.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Scott Price was an amazing experience. Scott sold my townhouse in Santa Monica for 10% over the asking price in only a few days on the market. I honestly couldnt believe the transformation he made to the unit before listing it. Scott has a true artistic eye and knows exactly where to invest money to maximize ROI without wasting time or money on unnecessary repairs. Every improvement he recommended made a huge impact, and the final result exceeded my expectations. Scott is smart, creative, hands-on, and incredibly effective. I'm very grateful for everything he did and look forward to working with him again soon!

ZillowVERIFIED Working in sales myself, I thought I understood negotiation and relationship management well until I went through the home-buying process with Scott Price. From day one, Scott stood out because he didnt just try to sell me a house; he genuinely took the time to educate me on every step of the process. He made sure I understood what to expect, what pitfalls to avoid, and how to evaluate properties with a critical eye. His honesty and transparency were incredibly refreshing, especially in such a competitive market. Scott was never afraid to point out issues in homes that other agents might have glossed over just to close a deal. That level of integrity built a tremendous amount of trust and gave me confidence that he truly had my best interests in mind. Thanks to Scotts expertise, strategy, and network of valuable resources, I ended up finding an incredible single-family home in Culver City that checked every box. What impressed me most was his negotiation skills because he was able to secure a major price reduction and got my offer accepted literally just before another higher offer came in. Without his timing, persistence, and tactical approach, I genuinely believe I would have lost the house. On top of that, post sale Scott has stayed highly involved to make sure everything goes smoothly with my transition into home ownership. Buying a home can feel overwhelming, even for someone experienced in sales, but Scott clarified the entire process and made it feel manageable from start to finish. Hes knowledgeable, connected, honest, strategic, and absolutely relentless when it comes to advocating for his clients. If youre looking for a real estate agent who will educate you, protect you, and fight to get you the best possible outcome, Scott Price is the person you want in your corner.

ZillowVERIFIED I recently bought a townhouse in Santa Monica and had a fantastic experience working with Scott Price. From the beginning, he did an excellent job clarifying the entire home-buying process and breaking things down in a way that made everything feel simple and manageable. His guidance made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. Scott also helped me secure a great deal on the property and was a strong advocate throughout negotiations. He even negotiated a sizable credit back for repairs, which was incredibly helpful. On top of that, he connected me with reliable contractors to handle a few fixes after closing. Overall, Scott was knowledgeable, proactive, and easy to work with. Id highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely helps simplify the process and looks out for your best interests!

ZillowVERIFIED Scott is truly an exceptional real estate agent and was the perfect partner throughout our home buying journey. From the very beginning, he took the time to educate us on every step of the process and made sure we always felt informed and confident. He guided us thoughtfully through each phase, patiently answering all of our questions and offering clear, professional opinions whenever decisions came up. Because we were searching for a home in LA from the Bay Area, we relied heavily on Scott to be our eyes and ears on the ground, and he went above and beyond. He took the time to visit properties for us, sent detailed videos, and video called us during open houses so we could experience the homes in real time. This level of effort made us feel confident in what we were seeing, even from afar. Scotts attention to detail was outstanding at every stage of the process. During inspections, he caught things we never would have thought to look for and clearly explained what actually mattered versus what did not. Once we were in escrow, he was incredibly thorough when reviewing repairs and fixes made by the seller, ensuring everything was done properly and advocating for us every step of the way. He was also completely on top of things throughout escrow, facilitating everything seamlessly, coordinating all the moving parts, and keeping us constantly updated. We always knew where we stood and what was coming next, which made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. On top of all of this, Scotts communication was exceptional. He was always reachable, incredibly responsive, and genuinely happy to answer questions. We always felt supported and prioritized. We could not have asked for a better experience, especially as first-time homebuyers, and we absolutely plan to work with him again in the future. We would wholeheartedly recommend Scott to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, proactive, and truly dedicated real estate agent. Thanks Scott!

ZillowVERIFIED When we were looking for our first home more than 5 years ago, we saw a home listed by Price + Hou. After seeing countless homes during our search, we really enjoyed how professional and seamless the viewing experience was from a buyer's standpoint. Fast forward 5+ years, when we were looking to sell our home, Janice was one of our first calls to see if she was interested in working together. I appreciated Janice's transparency and realistic view on the current market. I loved that we were on the same page from the start and she made what likely is a stressful process as stress free as possible. We had some international travel coming up and we were able to work through our commitments to ensure there were no delays in the selling process. Janice and her team are extremely efficient and easy to work with. From the date we had our open house to close of escrow, Janice got it done in exactly one month. She was able to find the buyers and strategically "read the room," to get us the highest reasonable bid on our home. I would recommend Janice to anyone looking to sell in a heartbeat. Cannot thank her enough for making it so easy.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Janice was great! She made this normally stressful process so much easier and pleasant. She is knowledgable, honest, fast in response and detail oriented. it was seven weeks from putting my property on the market til closing the escrow and I got my full asking price. She negotiated skillfully and basically removed most of the stress normally connected with the sale of the home.

ZillowVERIFIED As first time homebuyers and investors, Scott blew us away as a real estate agent. From day 1, he met with us to get to know us and talked us through the entire home buying process. We decided to go with him based on how genuine and knowledgeable he was. Throughout our time together looking for the right investment property, Scott has been a true partner and teacher. We learned so much about things to look out for when buying a home as an investment. As a fellow investor, he never shied away from sharing his opinion based on his experience, but we never felt pressure to go one way or the other. He is super knowledgeable, responsive, attentive to detail, and truly good at his job as an agent in getting us the best deal. Once we went through the escrow process, Scott was there with us every step of the way to talk through all of our questions, concerns, and through negotiation. We trust that hell continue to be a fantastic thought partner as we work on renovations and look forward to working with him on our future deals. Thank you Scott for everything!

ZillowVERIFIED I'm currently writing this review from my new home and I couldn't be happier with my experience with Price + Hou. I worked with Mark Mendez to buy my first home and he was amazing. From our initial buyers consultation through closing on my condo, Mark was super diligent in making sure I understood every step of the home buying process, and explaining all of my options to me without pushing me or having any personal agenda. The sellers of the home I ultimately bought requested a very fast escrow timeline and Mark not only helped with getting me set up in advance to make me comfortable committing to this timeline in my offer (and get my offer accepted over some higher bids as a result) but he also was incredible during the escrow process with helping set up inspections for me, and strategizing on requests for repair credits. Without a doubt will come back to Price + Hou next time I'm in the market!

ZillowVERIFIED Janice and her team provided a service well beyond what either my wife and I could have ever expected when we decided to partner with them to sell our condo in Marina Del Rey. From start to finish, Janice helped us along every step of the way. From providing direction and suggestions on what targeted improvements to make; to recommending trusted vendors to actually taking over the entire project management of the fixes, prep and staging when my wife and I needed to leave town for a family medical emergency...the service went above-and-beyond what one would expect, and in the end we sold the place for a great price. Price + Hou were strongly recommended to us by close friends who also recently sold, and we would recommend them as well without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIED Scott is the only realtor I will ever use, regardless of whether I'm buying or selling. He truly goes above and beyond to get the most for you throughout the process, even looking after all of the daily chaos on prepping the property and getting it sold for top dollar when I was half way around the world. Theres truly no way to have done it without Scott as a friend and partner throughout the journey. Despite the bumps and a couple of curveballs, the whole process was super smooth because Scott was constantly proactive and on top of everything. And the final sale price for the houseaEUR| truly mind boggling. I'm indebted to Scott for his continual guidance, trust and calmness throughout what could have been a truly chaotic process. I cant say enough how much I value his experience, fortitude and ability to find simple solutions to problems large and small.

ZillowVERIFIED The service and advocacy Scott provides is beyond exceptional. Scott resolved issues from complex to routine with thoughtfulness and passion for my best interest - like navigating thorny HOA issues; identifying and negotiating items that my home inspector and I missed; and even promptly purchasing and programing new garage door openers when none were provided. Scott delivers sophisticated, experienced, white-glove service that Ive never seen in my decades of real estate experience.

ZillowVERIFIED Janice and Scott went over the top! My wife and I used them for a home in Santa Monica that is 'unique', which required creativity, patience, and tons of real estate muscle to drag over the goal line. I am incredibly impressed with them and urge you to seriously consider their skills for your next real estate transaction. I could not be happier.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I were first time home buyers that were initially intimidated by the whole process. We decided to meet with Scott based on all of the heartfelt reviews, and now we have the pleasure of sharing our own experience. Scott was very professional from day 1. He met with us, gave us an introduction to the home buying process, explained the role he had with us, gave his insights on the current market, and helped us develop realistic expectations. His responsiveness and honesty really stand out. Whenever we had the slightest interest in seeing a home even if it was simply for learning purposes, he would respond with inside information and help us schedule open house appointments where applicable. On the occasions he was able to join us, he would give us his detailed analysis regardless if it was positive or negative, and it broadened our knowledge significantly in the home viewing experience. There are so many details we simply cannot un-see any more! It was very apparent he wanted to make sure we made the right buy and not just a quick one. We chose to be dedicated to Scott as our agent through the whole process despite the other agents that tried to represent us. He does expect exclusivity if working with his team, and we have absolutely no regrets! We actually had the unicorn experience of winning with our first offer in this dramatic sellers' market. It truly could not have been done without Scott. During escrow, he anticipated every limiting step and would advise accordingly. He has a multitude of resources that helped us get through escrow and even his reputation gave the seller's agents confidence that it would be a smooth process. When working with us, Scott really treated us as friends and not just clients. In fact, Scott continues to be a resource for us as we quickly learned that home ownership comes with a flood of new information (and scammers!). We expect to have him at our family gatherings and hope to work with him again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED As a first-time buyer I couldn't feel more lucky that my good friends referred me to Scott. He educated and guided my wife & I through the entire process, to the point where I can't stop looking at the roofs on houses and thinking "there's no way that has more than 5 years of life left in it." He was always there to answer any questions that we had, at any time, and would always give us his complete insight as an experienced owner, renovator, and landlord, which couldn't have been more valuable when we found a duplex that we fell in love with. He's continued to support and advise us after we closed and are renovating the house, and has offered to help us figure out the mechanics of becoming a first-time landlord. Oh, and did I mention that he negotiated getting the solar system on our new house paid off by the sellers, which is apparently highly unusual (he did it so effortlessly that we just thought it was normal for any home sale, until we started mentioning it to friends who had bought houses with solar). Seriously, look no further, they broke the mold with Scott - you won't find a better agent!

ZillowVERIFIED Unbelievable service. Yes, you've seen fantastic reviews online before and think, are they legitimate? I am here to testify that I believe Scott, Mark, and the rest of the team is at the pinnacle of their profession. I live out-of-state and I needed to sell a California property which presented numerous challenges. Scott and Mark rose to meet every challenge without hesitation and went far beyond what you would expect from any real estate company. They relentlessly worked on my behalf to get the best possible outcome while answering all of my questions and making me feel comfortable at every step of the process. Their approach and care to the sale of my property made me feel as if they were selling their own property or a property of a family member. Wonderful people and a stellar real estate team.

ZillowVERIFIED There's a reason these two have the reviews they do, and I'm happy to contribute. I was a first-time buyer, and my friends recommended the agents who sold them their first home as well. I'm so grateful for the recommendation...I can't imagine a better experience than the one I had with Scott and Janice. They just made all the right moves at every step of the way. They're not only consummate professionals and experts at their craft, but what so unique about them is that they're also real human beings. They filled me with industry knowledge, gave me sage advice at all turns, and put zero pressure on me throughout-always making sure I was looking at things from all angles and helping me reconcile hopes, doubts and fears. When we finally entered escrow, they were total pros. They kept me out in front of everything, went to bat for me when they needed to, and managed the relationship with the selling agent and sellers perfectly. These two are the best.

ZillowVERIFIED [2nd Review] We love Scott & Janice. Though technically Scott has been our agent for a home purchase 4 years ago and its subsequent sale last month, Janice is a great partner in which they tag-team efficiently. Scott understands the market and makes his strategic recommendations based on expertise, but also listened to us and still took our lead. Great communication overall, and he has great rapport with the other agents. We took advantage of the Compass Concierge service which was helpful in paying for quick renovation costs. Would use again and highly recommend.

ZillowVERIFIED We reached out to Janice and Scott via a work referral, we wanted to sell our West LA house and fast. Janice promptly returned my email and got an in person meeting set up. Prior to our first meeting she sent over comps from the neighborhood, context about the current market and what services their team offered. We met them, and signed the contract the same day.. Janice had a handyman and staging crew out in a few days, recommended what needed to be repaired and if replacement was necessary what we should buy based on current trends. We moved out of state prior to the house selling and they handled everything for us onsite and kept us in the loop of all the on-goings. Once the house was listed Scott partnered heavily with us and made recommendations for how long to keep the house open, when to request offers, countering, contracts and everything. It was just so easy for us as sellers and that was all do to Scott and Janice's attentiveness, knowledge, and professionalism. Before the house was even sold we had recommended Price + Hou to friends. Maybe by the time we need to sell our current house in the pacific northwest they will have expanded to our market :).

ZillowVERIFIED I've bought and sold a house with Janice and she has been nothing but amazing. Janice is excessively patient, answering numerous questions and guiding me through both the buy and sale process. Her partner Scott is equally great, as he quick to resolve and smooth out the bumps during the process. They are always looking for ways to ensure I was satisfied, were constantly available and responsive, and were generous with their time. For example, we were unsure if we should sell our house and subsequently buy. Over the course of 6 months, Janice visited our house multiple times, showed us multiple properties even though we weren't ready to buy, and gave us advice about the state of the market until we decided to pull the trigger to sell. Highly recommended!

ZillowVERIFIED Last year I met with a handful of real estate agents on selling my West Los Angeles condo, and Scott Price stood above the rest. When the other agents visited my condo, they focused on telling me how much they can sell it for and managing my expectations. With Scott, he focused on explaining the few things that I need to repair/upgrade to get top dollars on the market, and proactively sent me quotes on how much those things cost. Based on that alone, I decided to hire Price + Hou for their services. Scott was always honest and gave me the straight talk, and at the same time worked really hard to get top dollar for my property. They had a great selling strategy and my condo was sold towards the top of the comps. They were full service and really earned their commission. My condo was not a million dollar listing, yet I felt like an exclusive client because Scott was always responsive and made sure that my questions are answered. They also made the process easy. From all the work ranging from reflooring to home staging, they procured quotes, sent me options, scheduled appointments, and managed the work. All I had to do was choose the vendors and pay. Janice has a great design eye and gave some great recommendations on light fixture replacements that didnt break the bank. I am so happy that I chose them to be my agents. Highly recommend.

ZillowVERIFIED Janice was absolutely phenomenal & instrumental in the selling of my home, not only in the preparation and maximizing of its marketability, but also in securing a beyond expected sale price and making the entire transition smooth and easy. Her expertise and insight into how to go about the prepping and selling process was so instrumental and really put me at ease the entire way. Her knowledge and familiarity with different options and scenarios really put us at an advantage and I couldn't have been happier throughout the whole process. It was seamless and stress-free! Who knew the selling process could actually be enjoyable?! Her entire team was so friendly, astute, and attentive. You really get the whole package when you sell with Janice & her company. I'm so glad a friend recommended her to me because she is really quite exceptional at what she does. If you're looking for someone to sell (or buy) with, this is it!

ZillowVERIFIED I have sold 2 homes (and bought one of them) with Scott Price in 13 years. In every interaction, communication, every step of the process, Scott has been thorough, compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, and has tirelessly helmed the transaction to a favorable result. Scott always works for your best interests, he will shine the best possible light on your home in the minds of the prospective buyers. We received several compliments from other agents that Scott aEURoereally knows how to show a homeaEUR? and he does. Scott and his team are knowledgeable, have a deep grasp of the current data in any neighborhood you need, or any home type - condo/townhouse or house. And perhaps more importantly, since not every decision in real estate is a walk in the park, Scott will keep you abreast of any potential hiccups and provide insightful, well-reasoned advice based on years of experience. Scott and his team care, and it shows, and have earned our familys trust and will always have our business whenever our family needs to move into a new home.

ZillowVERIFIED Scott Price and Janice Hou did an absolutely fantastic job selling our home in Santa Monica! They were thoughtful, knowledgeable and provided excellent advice and guidance from start to finish. They provided us regular updates on the process, feedback from potential buyers, kept a close eye on our home and let us know whenever there were issues. Anytime we had questions or needed anything they were quick to respond and helpful. We had worked with another agent before and we did not experience the level of expertise, attention to detail or responsiveness that we experienced with Scott and Janice. They were a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them. We ultimately sold our home for more than $100k over asking and Scott and Janice deserve much of the credit for the extraordinary outcome, but even if the ultimate price hadnt come in at or above asking I would have been confident that we had achieved the best result because of the expertise, care and attention of Scott and Janice. Our home was very personal to us and was our most valuable investment. We put a lot of trust in Scott and Janice and they exceeded our expectations in every way.

ZillowVERIFIED We found Price and Hou online when we were looking to relocate from San Francisco down to LA. We weren't sure exactly where or what we were looking for, but knew we wanted something on the westside. After a couple false starts with other realtors we knew we were in good hands with Scott. Immediately he started breaking down the different neighborhoods customized to our wants and needs. He didn't sugar-coat anything and was always able to point out the good and bad of a house that we didn't have the experience to see. He was a very straight shooter and I appreciated that. We never felt rushed to get into a house. Scott brought the same passion from the first house we saw to the one we eventually found. He even Facetimed us into a house or two when we couldn't make the trip down from SF to see them in person. We highly recommend Price and Hou on here as well as to our friends and family.

ZillowVERIFIED I came across Scott Price by a stroke of immense luck. From the very first call when I inquired about a property he was selling, Scott was nothing short of amazing. Before we even started looking at properties, he spent several hours getting me acquainted with the process and terminology of the home buying process. His number one priority was to make sure I felt educated and confident moving forward aEUR" he was simply the most knowledgeable, classy, and genuine realtor Id ever come across. Mark Mendez took over from there and started taking me to look at properties. Scotts team is clearly a reflection of his high standards because Mark was also amazing. Working with Mark was an absolute dream for my type-A personality. Mark is extremely organized, responsive, punctual, and knowledgeable aEUR" and as a first time homebuyer, those qualities were invaluable to me. I was pretty overwhelmed with the whole process, but Marks optimism, patience, and experience was always there to guide me through. I cant say enough about how much I appreciated Marks presence throughout the duration of this process. He gave me the peace of mind that only comes when you have a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor on your side aEUR" and I hope Mark will be on my side for all my future real estate endeavors!

ZillowVERIFIED Scott and Janice worked with us to sell our home in Leimert Park. First off, my wife and I are not easy customers. We're demanding, high-strung, and require a lot of communication. With that in mind, we were also looking to sell our house in the middle of a pandemic. We interviewed several real estate agents and we chose Scott and Janice because they were the most professional, prompt, and courteous group we interviewed. They did not disappoint. They sold our house for more than we expected, and they took care of our house like it was their own, while we were across the country in Nashville. There were some challenges on the buyer's side and they helped us navigate those with a great strategy and timely advice. I don't know that another agent group would have had the patience and commitment to nail it as Scott and Janice did. If you're shopping around for realtors, you should be aware that so many agents sell you the moon and the stars. Very few deliver. Scott and Janice did.

ZillowVERIFIED Janice was our buying agent, and we couldn't have been more pleased with her integrity, ideas, and solutions. She helped us buy a house that had multiple competing offers by coming up with smart and fair ways throughout the entire process. I'm certain we would not have won the house if Janice was not our agent. We were searching all over the West Side and LA, and Janice knows all these disparate neighborhoods so well. She's really done her research. As an added bonus, she even helped us come up with great remodeling ideas as she can draw from her extensive experience and connections. She has an amazing work ethic, is super friendly and always professional. There was one weekend she was out of town, and Scott stepped in and continued the process seamlessly. Both Janice and Scott are smart, energetic and just really fun to work with, so you basically have the complete package with them. Thank you Janice and Scott!

ZillowVERIFIED I had a great experience working with Scott to make my first home purchase a smooth and easy process. I first met Scott at a local coffee shop, and right away, he stood out from other realtors I interviewed because he came across as genuine and authentic. I'm extremely detail-oriented, and I expressed to Scott that I would have a lot of questions over the course of the process. Scott was always willing to answer any question I had - no matter how small or insignificant it sometimes seemed. Scott was always patient with us, and he checked in at numerous points throughout the process to ensure that we were happy and comfortable with whatever was going on. We never felt any pressure from him to complete a purchase. I'm very grateful for having found Scott, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

ZillowVERIFIED Scott has been the best buyer's agent I have ever worked with. As a second time home buyer, I was not totally new to the home buying process, however because this was my first time buying a home in California, it was almost as if I was buying a house for the first time. Scott from the first time we connected expressed genuine interest and passion for the real-estate market and helping others find a perfect home for his clients. I met Scott with my partner back in November 2019, 5 months prior to committing to even buying a property. However, even with this in mind, Scott, with such dedication, took the time to meet up with us for an introduction meeting and to educate us on his real-estate services, CA home buying process from A-Z, and even about the various LA neighborhoods to look in to! No pressure what so ever, always kind, detailed oriented, and genuine. Then 5 months goes by, March comes around, and my partner and I green-light the home buying process on our end and reach back out to Scott, and the journey of home searching began. Keep in mind, Scott was sending us realestate insights, market updates, neighborhood insights, in the meantime. Being first time California home buyers, we wanted to look at every neighborhood from the LA County down to Torrance! Scott took the time to patiently show us the properties we requested and even went above and beyond to speak to the sellers agents if we had any extra questions. When we finally found the home we wanted to live in, the actual buying process was spectacular thanks to Scott. Thanks to Scott being so transparent and educational in the beginning, when it was time for us to get in to action of buying, nothing was a surprise. Scott is also very punctual, manages expectations very well, communicates clearly and most importantly compassionate. Even with the minor hiccups caused by the bank, thanks to Scott, we were able to resolve and move forward quickly! Even for inspections, Scott made sure every detail, every aspect of inspections and seller's agent communications were seamless and communicated to us. Scott's references for contractors, inspectors were all great and trustworthy. We completed the entire buying process and Scott helped us find our awesome home! Flawlessly. I look forward to referring him to my colleagues, friends and family. Scott's positive energy, unwavering enthusiasm, and work ethic, exemplify all the traits of a true professional, servant leader and badass agent. I highly recommend Scott and truly believe that anyone who gets to have him as his/her buyers agent is lucky and can be assured of finding a beautiful home... I look forward to many more purchases together. PS. On the day of our closing, Scott and his partner Janice Hou both came to our new home personally to congratulate us. It was the sweetest thing ever. Thank you & cheers to many more successes!

ZillowVERIFIED Scott and Janice's team deserves more than 5 stars. They've delivered fantastic results for our family over the past 5 years. We found Scott online when we were planning to sell our condo in 2015. So far Price + Hou has served as our agent to sell 3 properties and buy 2 properties. They have never disappointed us and have earned our complete trust. We just sold our property right in the middle of Covid-19. It's been extremely challenging to close the sale during the lockdown period. But Scott pulled it off. Scott and his team went above and beyond to help us plan the sale, set expectations, and clean and stage the house. Through effective marketing and open house, we received 7 offers including 3 all cash offers and several of them were way above the asking price. We will absolutely continue to work with Scott and Janice for our future property transactions.

ZillowVERIFIED The Price + Hou team was amazing - we are so glad we found them. Mark Mendez, our agent, helped us through it all including some unique challenges that came up in the escrow process. In the end, we are happy to be first time homeowners in Los Angeles. We are so lucky to have had the expertise and diligence of the Price + Hou team on our side. Thank you!!

ZillowVERIFIED We are so fortunate to have found Janice, Scott, and their team. We needed someone that were local experts in the Westside to list our place, and also help find our next home within a tight window. The outcome far exceeded our expectations. They took the time to get to know us and understand our needs from the start. We were supported, informed, and cared for every step of the way. With their help, we sold at above asking and soon found the home we were looking for. Even once we closed on the new home, they provided guidance to plan our move, and gave us recommendations for renovations. Throughout the entire process, they were extremely responsive and attentive. They will be our team for any future moves.

ZillowVERIFIED When we decided to sell our Culver City townhouse, we did our research on different agencies. Scott blew away the competition. We were impressed by his professionalism, preparedness, and the fact that he promised us clear communication and brutal honesty. Also, unlike any of the other agents, he was genuinely interested in what our priorities were aside from just the selling price, which indicated to us that he understood selling a home isn't just another business transaction. We called him back the same day to ask him to represent us. Aaaand it turns out that we never even had to go on the market! Janice represented a couple who made us a solid and fair offer, saving us from having to stage, clean, hold open houses, etc. Throughout the escrow process, Scott and Janice were on. top. of. it. Scott and Janice replied to our e-mails and texts at lightning speed. We received updates in real-time as they received them, meaning we were getting e-mails and texts at all hours of the day, any day of the week, which we really appreciated. Scott made sure we were all on the same page at all times and checked in with us even when there were no updates. Scott and Janice also did a great job of keeping the representation as separate as possible, meaning Scott actively advocated for us and Janice for the buyers. Another way that Scott went well above and beyond: we discovered, after opening escrow, that we needed to get extensive work done on the townhouse. Scott didn't miss a beat. Without us even having to ask, he reached out to multiple companies, set up appointments for estimates, and met with each vendor so that we did not have to take time from work to be there. All we had to do was pick the provider, and he handled the rest. Even when the company tried to give us some difficulties he went to bat for us in a way that I firmly believe no other agent would have. What could have been a nightmare escrow process went shockingly smoothly...all thanks to the hard work of Scott and Janice. All this is to say, we are so grateful for Scott and Janice. They are truly dedicated to their clients and it's clear from their other stellar reviews that they excel at what they do. Thank you again!!

Scott guided me through every moment?, right from online? searching, through every inspection?, decision, ?and negotiation?. Beyond the sale, he is advising me about setting up my investment property?, from repairs and renovation to leasing. A caring and lovely person, he is an absolute delight to work with, professional, thorough, extremely? helpful, and totally trustworthy. He returns calls immediately and gets back with inquiries? and information super fast, coming up with ideas and solutions? for every detail. No question too small or silly, no matter how many you throw at him! Always? so personally? available, you feel like his only client. He truly? goes out of his way to make sure you get the best result. Because? of Scott, I feel confident in my decisions. I wouldn't? hesitate to work with him again. It has been a privilege?. Even though Scott was my agent, his partner Janice? was also? amazing, helping out with all the inspections, she was very supportive and full of great advice. With Scott and Janice, you? know you are in expert hands. This is most definitely? a more than five-star? team!!

ZillowVERIFIED We recently bought a house in Culver City, working with Scott Price at Homes by Price and Hou, and the experience was nothing less than extraordinary. As we do not currently live in California, all communication and business took place by phone, text, and email. Scott was consistently friendly, accommodating, and reliable, going out of his way to shepherd us through the steps of the process, from making a competitive offer, to finding top notch inspectors and negotiating with the seller, to giving us the specific information we needed for purchasing real estate in California. As someone who has clearly worked in real estate for a long time, Scott was able to lend perspective to the variety of problems that inevitably came to light when inspections were done: which were to be expected and which to return to the seller for remediation. Whatever the issue, he had local subcontractors to recommend who were able to do the work quickly, well, and for reasonable rates. And as work was done, Scott visited the property to document with before and after photos, and even videos, that he sent to us. Having bought, sold, renovated, and built houses before, we have never worked with anyone with Scotts expertise and commitment to clients; he has our highest recommendation!

ZillowVERIFIED Scott Price and his partner Janice Hou have built a reputation as the go-to real estate agency on the West Side both on the buying and selling side. After hearing so much about them, when the time came for my wife and I to relocate from Manhattan Beach to Venice, one meeting with Scott made it clear to us that this reputation was completely deserved and we decided with zero hesitations to entrust Scott with our business. From that point on, we never had a single moment where we weren't convinced we were in expert hands. Scott guided us through every stage of the transaction with total confidence and now I write this review in the bedroom of a home that is far beyond what I envisioned buying when we started but at our target price. We won't even consider looking elsewhere when the time comes to sell this house and buy our next. Scott and Janice, who also assisted us at a key moment in the buying process, is who you want to work with in LA.

ZillowVERIFIED Here's the testimonial I submitted for them... This was my first time selling a property that I owned. I knew there would be a lot to do to prepare my duplex for putting on the market. I was feeling overwhelmed with it all and knew I needed guidance. I searched through many realtor recommendations online but didn't find any that seemed like a good fit. Then I happened upon Compass's website and read through the testimonials section. When I saw that they would be there through the entire process, with very reasonably priced contractors ready to tackle all my needed upgrades, I knew I would be in good hands. And I was right! I never felt stressed out. Janice was there to help me from the day of the initial walk through, to the execution of the suggested property upgrades, to finally going live on MLS at a price carefully selected to both sell and maximize profit. It all worked out perfectly when it sold for $100,000 over the asking price. I couldn't have been happier with the entire process. I highly recommend Janice and her professional team!

ZillowVERIFIED Easily a five-star review! Janice, Mark and everyone in the team were amazing in helping us secure our Los Angeles home, even with our hectic schedules and the fact that we were nearly 3000 miles away in New York City. Always professional, helpful, and friendly, they would respond quickly to our concerns, even late at night, and would go out of their way to help us make our decisions and handle any unforeseen issues. As first-time homeowners, everyone in the team helped the process be as smooth and stress-free as possible, and I never felt pressured to make any decision I was uncomfortable with. We were always checked up on to make sure we understood what was going on. I would absolutely recommended Homes by Price and Hou to anyone looking for a Los Angeles home!

ZillowVERIFIED I recently decided to sell my condo in Culver City and I knew absolutely that I wanted the team at Compass to support me through the process. I had worked with them several years earlier when purchasing my home and had had such a wonderful experience that I couldnt have imagined working with anyone else. Scott, Janice, and Diana are all such rockstars at what they do! Their attention to the details is truly next level and really allowed me to rest easy knowing that everything was being taken care of with the utmost care and integrity, not to mention that they are all just really lovely and warm people that leave you feeling uplifted with every interaction. I honestly cant say enough good things about them and have recommended them to every friend or family member who has thought about buying or selling property in the LA area. I feel so lucky to have found them and know that my experiences with a home purchase and now a home sale were made so much more easeful because of them!

ZillowVERIFIED I was very impressed by both Scott Price and Janice Hou professional expertise in a recent sale of a trust property. If I had any questions and/ or concerns, they would return my calls/ text messages in a timely manner. They always provided up to date information as to how an aEURoeOpen HouseaEUR? showing went and also when an offer was submitted on the property. I appreciated all their hard work and follow up. They make an excellent team. I highly recommend them.

ZillowVERIFIED Scott was our realtor when we bought our condo in Santa Monica and the experience was so good that we had no reservations about using him again when it came time to sell! What he is very good at is communicating in a very timely manner and taking care of all details. Any questions or requests I had were quickly answered with a aEURoecan doaEUR? attitude which was hugely appreciated!!??. Hr also took care of helping us prepare the property to selling condition which is difficult for an out of town seller to do on their own! He also kept us well informed on feedback from potential buyers. He was also very eager to do as many open houses as needed. Lastly, he was very professional in all the matters he handled!!

ZillowVERIFIED Mark Mendez and the entire team of Price + Hou made buying a new home as simple and seamless as possible. Mark proactively sent us listings and showed multiple homes to our family in advance to scheduled open houses, to ensure we had first-look at prospective homes. Marks network of recommended skilled inspectors performed professionally, and provided timely turnaround. Mark led and fostered a fruitful rapport between us and the seller; ensuring every detail was taken care of. He expertly advocated on our behalf to ensure all of our repair and credit concerns were addressed. We couldnt imagine buying a new home without the support of Mark and his team. We were told he had multiple clients while he was supporting us, but we felt we were the only clients that mattered. He took the time and care to answer all of our questions, big or small. Mark will be the first person we call for all future real estate endeavors. He anticipated every step and provided the guidance and reassurance necessary to make these big decisions for our family. Thank you Mark, and the whole Price + Hou team!!

ZillowVERIFIED When we were preparing to purchase our home, we met with many real estate agents looking for someone who was professional, communicative, and experienced. As soon as we met Mark Mendez with Price + Hou, I knew that he was the agent for us. From our first meeting through the final closing, his verbal and written communication skills far exceeded expectations. Mark has very strong attention to detail - which helped us to navigate the home purchase process smoothly. It is also important to note that Mark is supported by the whole Price + Hou team - and the other team members also provided excellent support and assistance to us throughout the process. Scott Price provided us with valuable recommendations as we were negotiating several complicated seller contingency clauses. Janice Hou provided helpful insight when several unexpected items came up during inspections. All in all, we were very pleased with the service we received, and we would recommend this team to others looking to conduct real estate transactions in the Santa Monica area.

ZillowVERIFIED Scott, Janice and team helped us purchase our first home this summer. Scott was our main agent, however, we had the full P + H team supporting us the entire way and it was an awesome 5-star experience. Scott was always available via text, phone, email and even coming to our home on weekends to go over paperwork and answer our millions of questions. Whenever we needed to get into the property for inspectors or take measurements, Scott and team made sure we always had access and what we needed. Scott had an incredible way of making us feel like we were his only clients and that is super appreciated. Thank you for everything and making our first home buying experience the best it could be!
