From planning and staging to marketing and strategizing, Marc guided us through every step of selling our homeaEUR"including navigating the paperwork and personally showing up for showings. He went above and beyond at every turn. Thanks to his expertise, we sold over asking and closed in just 23 days, even in a challenging market. On top of being an outstanding agent, Marc is just a genuinely nice guy who gets the job done, whatever it takes.
Marc and Ken helped our family sell my mothers house, and we were very pleased with how they handled the entire process. They provided candid, practical advice about preparing the property, setting the price, and evaluating offers. They knew the market, communicated promptly, and stayed on top of the many details required to keep the sale moving. They also understood that selling a parents home is not always an ordinary real estate transaction. They handled the personal aspects with sensitivity while remaining focused, straightforward, and professional. Their judgment helped us make informed decisions from the initial listing through the close of escrow. I would readily recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, responsive, and dependable real estate agents.
I've worked with Marc on both the sale and purchase of multiple homes. Every experience has been incredible. Marc knows the business, understands the marketplace, is always available and incredibly attentive and detail oriented. Along with his own expertise he brings a team of finance professionals and trusted home inspectors that are equally adept. I felt completed protected at all times. Wouldn't buy or sell with anyone else.
We chose the team of Marc Tahler and Ken Zietz of Rodeo Realty because they have been the highest rated realtors in our area of the San Fernando Valley for years. There were many physical and emotional hurdles to overcome selling our mothers property and they proved daily why they are so successful. Calling on their vast experience, their suggestions on pricing and timing turned out to be spot on. They were aided by an excellent photographer and Title company. When we ran into a tenant issues near the end, they negotiated masterfully, handled paperwork, communications and meetings efficiently and persisted at every turn until each problem was solved and a final solution found. For all this we will be eternally grateful.
Marc and Ken are absolute rockstars. Weve trusted them for years and theyve never let us down. Theyre knowledgeable, responsive, and truly invested in getting the best outcome for their clients. Couldnt recommend them more highly!
Both Marc and Ken did an amazing job. Not only with getting OVER ASKING in less than 15 days but they were also extremely helpful with assisting in every part of the sale process. They have a Rolodex of vendors that can help with any part of your selling process. From replacing carpets to the estate sale to junk removal. Both Marc and Ken did an outstanding job!
Fantastic. You want him on your side. He is the definition of a problem solver, from figuring out solutions to financing roadblocks to bridging gaps. He's well-connected and knows the right people to fix complex issues
Selling our home in the Sherman Oaks hills was no easy task -- it's a uniquely beautiful property with its own set of challenges. From the very beginning, Marc and Ken approached it with remarkable professionalism, creativity, and teamwork. They understood both the charm and the complexities of the home, and they positioned it perfectly in the market. Their communication was outstanding throughout the process. They coordinated each detail seamlessly from staging and photography to marketing and showings. I especially enjoyed hearing their audio texts filled with great detail immediately following each showing. Most importantly, they never lost sight of our goals and kept us encouraged even when things got tough. In the end, their persistence and expertise paid off with a successful sale that felt both fair and rewarding. I can't recommend Marc and Ken highly enough for anyone looking to sell a special home that requires insight, patience and genuine care.
We recently worked with Marc to sell our house, and we couldnt be more impressed with his professionalism, market expertise, and communication. From our first meeting, Marc provided an in-depth understanding of the local real estate market, providing clear insights into pricing strategies, buyer trends, and optimal timing. What stood out most was Marc's exceptional communication. He kept us informed at every step, promptly answering our questions and providing detailed updates on showings, offers, and the overall process. Whether it was a quick text, call, or email, he was always accessible and responsive, making the experience stress-free. His proactive approach ensured a smooth and swift sale, and we closed on the house faster than I expected. He made selling a house look easy.
Given this tough real estate market, Marc helped us sell our home while our previous agent couldnt. We held dozens of private showings and guided us through a long contingency sale. We appreciated his commitment to selling our home at a decent price. We have ajresdy recommended his services to our neighbor in Sherman Oaks
We interviewed several brokers and, after thorough diligence, we selected Marc and Ken to represent us in the sale of our home in Tarzana. Marc and Ken were an outstanding team and did an excellent job on all aspects of the sale, including the development of promotional materials and a dedicated website, promotion of our property and, negotiation of the purchase agreement with various buyers. And, during the process, we encountered unexpected complications (not due to Marc/Ken) and they successfully assisted us in finalizing and closing the transaction! We will absolutely work with them again!
Marc and Ken were an incredible team to work with from top to bottom. They understood the sensitivity of our situation with selling our parent's home. They had wonderful personal references to help prepare the house to be put on the market and were there every step of the way with getting it done in a timely and 'pressure free" environment. Even their Escrow team was incredible, patient and kind. No question was ever too dumb or annoying. Marc and Ken held my hand every step of the way...a true partnership. HIRE THEM! You will sleep better that you made the right choice.
Marc was extremely knowledgable and professional throughout the entire home buying experience and was always available for a text or call whenever we had a question. From the beginning, he dedicated his time to show us any property we were interested in and always made an effort to research other ones we had not found, that fit our criteria. When we first started he also provided detailed information on purchasing a townhome, which we had not had experience with prior. The home we ended up purchasing was in an area that Marc suggested and we ended up really liking, showing his insight and experience with selling homes in the Valley. Even after the home purchase, Marc made sure that we were well situated and even called a plumber at his own expense when the seller could not fix a faucet issue after multiple attempts. We would 100% recommend Marc to anyone interested in purchasing a home and would select him as our agent in the future if we pursue another real estate purchase.
Once upon a time, (dont all stories start like that?) after a failed listing experience, I really needed a fairy godmother. You can believe it or not, but she did appear, and she waved her magic wand. Fortunately, two of the most outstanding real estate agents appeared. They had a plan. They knew what they were doing! From the minute I signed, they were ready to go! The aEURoelisting periodaEUR? happened very quickly. Small details that needed to be discussed and/or changed were talked about and the photo shoot was scheduled with the best photographer Id ever seen, while Marc and Ken wrote up the commentary to be printed, along with the photos in an 10-page presentation booklet of my home. Everything they did was extremely professional. They care about every detail. They have this down pat, every step of the way. Theyve been in this business long enough to be very professional about everything they do. Every phone call was answered or returned. Rare as it may be, theyve always kept their word. So important from one human to another. It is the glue that makes real relationships. Its what says, aEURoeyou are really important to me!aEUR? Theyve gathered and trained a wonderful team, but their clients always have the feeling of coming first. As we progressed through the first month together, one of them was always available to meet a client and/or agent to show my property, if the other was busy elsewhere. They do not believe in having aEURoeOPEN HOUSESaEUR?! Of all the terms I could use about their qualities, I believe that there is one that makes them super successful. So, as I put this together, I realized that Marc and Ken are very smart, very well educated, extremely caring and have many years of experience in real estate. They built two ideals; one is that they have a partnership that works, and two, they have created a system that works for their clients. Theyve created a process that bares success. I believe they also have a process in which they communicate with a network of other real estate agents in which they make them aware of listings they have. Before I could turn the page on the calendar, my home of 36 years was sold. They gently walked me through the Escrow process, always explaining the legalize of selling real estate in California, that I didnt understand. I want to publicly thank Marc and Ken for giving me an aEURoeeasy rideaEUR? through a difficult process. Less than a year later, I decided that I didnt like the place that I moved, so I called Marc and said, aEURoeI want to come home!aEUR? I think I took him by surprise, as he said, aEURoeI cant get your house back!aEUR? So, the end of the story is we have now completed the purchase of my new home and I want you to know that Marc and Ken were patient with me, explaining again what I did not understand, they were caring and concerned that it would, that perfect place, just for me. And it is! Thank you Marc and Ken. Anyone would be lucky to have you on their side.
Marc & Ken did a fantastic job in the selling of our home. They were very knowledgeable about the market and our community, and provided great support throughout the entire process. Marc and Ken assisted with so many additional things as wellaEUR|finding us a temporary living rental after our sale went through, finding contractors to make repairs, and giving us excellent referrals to several moving companies. This is the 2nd time we hired Marc and Ken and they successfully sold 2 of our homes and helped to buy a new oneaEUR|plus, they also helped with a rental property!
I would highly recommend Marc and Ken for both leasing and sales/purchase needs. The first word that comes to mind in my dealings with them is "trust"....and the second is "responsiveness". I would recommend them both in a heartbeat. Real estate transactions can be rather nerve-wracking, but my dealings with them have been stress-free. I used them to lease my childhood home in Tarzana and they presented several applicants and gave me their honest opinions on the applicants.....and I had one tenant for 6 years and the subsequent tenant who has now been in the house for 4 1/2 yrs. When it came time to sell my in-law's house in Encino, Marc and Ken were my go-to....and the house sold in about a week and a half for very, very near asking price. Ken grew up in Encino....he not only knows the area due to his real estate presence, but has true history in the area. In both my lease and my sales dealings with Marc and Ken they kept me informed every step of the way. I have always felt they were always 'above-board' and transparent. And once the transaction is done, they are there for you. If I need a referral for a handyman, a plumber, etc.....they've got the connections. They go above and beyond. The only 'stress' we had with the sale of my in-law's house was our concern about emptying the remains of the house after the estate sale and before escrow closed two days later....they told us not to worry about a thing.....they had people who would take care of it. And they did. I give them an A++++!!
We have worked with Marc Tahler (our primary realtor) and Ken Zeitz on multiple occasions. We recently sold a relative's home. It was on the market for about 3 days. Had 5 viewings and we accepted an offer on the 3rd day. We closed about 20 days later coming very close to our asking price with their expert negotiation. Seven years ago, we bought our present home through Marc and sold our previous home. Their knowledge, integrity, communication is phenomenal. They go above and beyond for their clients, many of whom are repeat clients, like us. An example - we were on a deadline due to a contingency to sell our previous home and we had planned a vacation about 1 year prior. Marc was able to complete the negotiations/sale, handle the paperwork, interacting with me during very atypical hours while we were nearly 8000 miles away. If we had known Marc and Ken earlier, we would have used them because other realtors, in our estimation, do not compare. If/when we sell our current home, they will be our realtors again.
I was very happy with Marc's hands on approach in helping with our property. He remained fully involved throughout the entire process and made himself available at all times. He went above and beyond in his management and delivery.
Marc was patience and helpful. He listen without judgement and understood my concern. I had pleasant experience with Marc and his team.
I had a very difficult piece of property to sell, and Marc and his team worked hard to get it sold at good price. I'm a complete novice at selling property and he was there every step of the way. I felt very comfortable working with him and the team. I'd recommend him in a heartbeat.
Mark was on top of everything which gave me a feeling of support while leaving my home of 53 years. Hes totally dedicated to his profession. I would recommend him to anyone.
Marc Tahler did a superb job. He is undeniably an expert in this field. I would highly recommend him to any seller or buyer. He made the process much easier than I thought it would be.
I feel so fortunate that I found Marc and Ken to list my property. Somehow I just got lucky to have found them and I truly think they are the best! Within a few minutes of filling out an online inquiry, I heard back from Marc. They promptly met with me and told me what steps to take so that I was ready to sell. Within seven days of listing, there were three offers. They communicated with me throughout escrow and told me they were willing to help me all the way or be more hands off - whatever I decided. They were knowledgeable whenever I asked a question. I just did not know what to expect as a first time seller and I feel that they guided me well and the process was very smooth. My entire experience was absolutely positive. I would highly recommend this team.
We recently sold our house at the end of December 2023 with the services of Marc & Ken. We had interviewed multiple realtors prior to selecting the guys (they come as a team). The realtors we interviewed were all over the map with a couple of them trying to low-ball the listing price by $150K to make a quick and easy sale (or they just didn't understand the current market conditions). The "right" listing price for the current market conditions is critical to making the highest value sale in the shortest amount of time aEUR" can't be too low and it can't be too high. A good realtor knowledgeable about the area and the current market conditions is essential in getting this exactly right aEUR" you only get one shot at the price before listing your property. Notably, prior to contacting any agents I'd done some data mining and quantitative analysis on market conditions for our area, so I knew what the numbers were, the true value of our house and what it should list for going into the interview process. I also checked all the realtor's personal sales performance numbers for the area against the market assessment to gauge their sale to listing performance (or what it might be for our house). Then, I let the realtors tell me their positions, sales strategies, analysis methods and why (not ever sharing any of my numbers), then selecting the one that best matched/exceeded my predictions and strategy expectations. After interviewing all the agents, listening to their proposed sales plans and recommended listing prices and analysis methods behind that price aEUR" some quite compelling -- we selected Marc & Ken. They seemed to size up the situation very quickly, knew in their minds exactly what was needed to be done to get to a successful sale, were straight forward and realistic in their thoughts and expectations, and were pretty much in line with my own assessments about our property and it's condition. There were a few things we mentioned upfront that we were not willing to do, and they made a couple of minor recommendations that seemed reasonable to further the sale of the house which we agreed to. But, for the most part, we were all on the same page on the first day including listing price. Needless to say, the plan was executed exactly how the agents said it would (what a surprise! LOL). We just let them do their job per the agreed upon plan. The guys were very professional and timely and got right to business. Their process was well honed and routine. There were no surprises along the way. The house sold within 10 days of listing and above asking price. Final sale price was within 1.5% of my prediction and time on market was within 1 day of my prediction aEUR" so I'm pretty happy with the overall sales numbers. In the end, Marc and Ken were easy to work with, communication was regular, efficient and effective, and tasks were completed in a timely manner, Since we had already moved out of the area, there was the added challenge of distance that was overcome. And given that the 2023 housing market was already suppressed with low inventory and buyers on the sidelines due to high mortgage rates and few houses to choose from, Marc and Ken navigated the field nonetheless and got the sale done. They understood the area we lived, the current market conditions, and were very confident about the successful execution and completion of their plan. Their years of experience and previous sales numbers exemplified that confidence. With that said, the final results speak for themselves. Selling a home can be stressful, so we really appreciate Marc & Ken's help and support in the sale of our house and give our highest recommendation.
Marc is very bright, knowledgeable and diligent. IIt was an absolue pleasure to have him sell the Woodland Hills townhouse condominium.
Thank you Marc for helping us navigate our journey to purchase our first home. We cannot thank you enough. You worked incredibly hard to close this deal with integrity, fairness and kindness. Those attributes are priceless and we really appreciate you and all your hard work. With much gratitude, MP ( please publish anonymously and do not share our information. Thank you.)
Marc and Ken were true professionals!! Their work ethic, responsiveness, knowledge of the real estate market and most importantly their results were unparalleled. Very grateful that we worked with both and appreciate their genuine personalities and their hard work!! Looking forward to working with them in the near future, would recommend their services to anyone serious about selling their property or acquiring a new one - Daniel and Jenny
After my dad died, and going through a very emotional and complicated probate, Marc came on board to help with the sale of his house. I cannot say enough positive things about the experience. He was very professional, and kept me in the loop every step of the way. He went above and beyond by arranging for people to clear out the house and take items to the dump. We had left a box of World War II items at the house and he packed them up and shipped it to us. Amazing! I am very thankful for his thoughtful and efficient approach to the sale of the house. I highly recommend him!
Marc was absolutely wonderful to work with! Attentive, Incredibly knowledgeable, and smart! He had the house ready with Cali requirements, listed and was under contract quickly with multiple offers. Through the entire process and he kept me updated. He has a list or experienced folks to help with assorted projects if needed. Helpers respond quickly and reasonably and are ALL big fans of Marc. HONEST was a word used by everyone. He helped organize an estate sale, donated items, cleared and cleaned out the home. It was dazzling. You would not believe the before and after. I plan to use him in every transaction in CA and highly recommend him and his team.
Marc did an outstanding job finding a suitable home for me. He saw me through the entire process from offer to close of escrow with patience, great customer support and attention to every detail. Marc was always available to answer any questions and communicated with the lender, escrow officer and sellers agent to make the entire process less stressful. He was available at all hours and answered all texts, emails, phone calls, promptly. I would highly recommend Marc to anyone buying or selling a property
Marc and Ken were absolutely wonderful to work with. I spoke mainly with Marc. Ken was helpful and available for showings, etc. I highly recommend them. They sold our neighbors home next door in Tarzana. It was a positive experience for them. They know the neighborhood well. That was important to me. They printed and provided a beautiful brochure with professional photos also used for the listing. It was a nice keepsake as well. They stayed on top of reading the market and providing a weekly email update of showings and interest. Marc and I also communicated well through texts and phone calls. He was a great resource in helping me make educated decisions. I am very happy with the outcome.
Marc was the best agent we have ever used and we would highly recommend him.
Marc was incredible. We were selling my mom's home while dealing with her health issues and trying to move her to Washington. Marc was very knowledgable about estate issues, helped with referrals to tax accounts and was very accommodating with showings. Marc and his partner showed up for every showing. Marc was very responsive to our questions. Always getting back to us right away. The process was as smooth as we could have hoped for. I would highly recommend Marc .
Marc did a great job selling our home. He was always very responsive, understood the market, and his advice was always spot on. He went the extra mile and it was greatly appreciated.
Marc did a great job with the sale of our home. Very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. Mark kept both my wife and I informed thru every step with the sale. Great marketing plan. I would definitely recommend Marc to others who need to sell or buy property.Albert & Stephanie Viola
We worked with Marc and Ken to sell our parents' home of 50 years in Tarzana. They are both absolute gems and we cannot recommend them highly enough. We initially met with Marc and Ken as our dad identified them as "the real estate guys for Tarzana." Two months later we contacted Marc and Ken after our dad passed away suddenly. They were always incredibly responsive, professional, knowledgeable and patient. They showed the utmost sensitivity and kindness throughout this difficult time for us. They always had ready answers and advice and never pushed us. Throughout the process we felt completely supported. They were always available to answer any question or concern and did so with patience and grace. We cannot say enough positive things about both of them and are very grateful that our dad found them!
Marc was great to work with when selling our house remotely. He is very knowledgeable and well connected. He went over and above not only to sell the house but make arrangements for all our needs from estate sales to clutter removal. We would highly recommend Marc Tahler for all your realisate needs.
Marc and Ken are amazing agents. They are very knowledgeable about the market, specifically our local area as you can frequently see them riding their golf cart in the neighborhood. They are both attentive and responsive. They guided us through the whole process with utmost professionalism, with sound and honest advice while providing us with an aEURoeabove and beyondaEUR? level of service. They helped us to choose the right offer and manage the counters on a timely manner. They explained every document that needed to be signed from the escrow service in detail. Our transaction was out of state, they were a huge help to connect us with the right people to clean the house and have our belongings get shipped. I highly recommend them.
Couldn't be happier with Marc and Ken they did a fantastic job start to finish. Our sale was a little more difficult due to it being a probate and not being in the area however Marc and his partner Ken were available and helpful with every situation, big or small that arose. It was especially great that they knew people from every trade that were able to help us as needed. Their professionalism and knowledge can't be beat and I can't recommend them more.
We worked with Marc to sell our home in Tarzana, and to purchase a condo on the Westside, and cannot recommend him and his team highly enough. From our initial consultation with Marc and Ken, where they provided us a detailed market assessment and advised us on pricing and marketing our property for sale, to working with Marc to negotiate the purchase of our new home, we felt completely confident and comfortable with him in our corner. Marc made sure he was available, often at short notice, for photo shoots, inspections, and appraisals relating to the sale of our home. He accompanied us multiple times across the city for inspections and walkthroughs of our new home, helped us get pricing for repairs and modifications, and was a steady, calming influence when we were faced with potential delays or hiccups. Marc was always easy to reach, and he addressed every one of our questions or concerns with patience and grace. His responsiveness, accessibility, and attention to detail have made our transition to a new home much easier.
Marc and Ken were highly recommended to us by a friend, and their advice every step of the way exceeded our expectations! We were considering renting my my mother's house, and they never pushed us to sell, which we ended up deciding to do. Instead they advised us on risks and benefits of renting and what repairs should be done for a rental vs and sale. They had different contractors evaluate and price repairs and improvements to help us understand costs and timing. They also told us all about the current market conditions after we asked to discuss the option of selling. They even did a financial analysis of rental income vs investing proceeds from a sale, so we had something to discuss with my mother's attorney and accountant.Based on my mother's needs, and the current market conditions we decided to sell the house. Marc & Ken discussed all the comps and recent activity to market the house, and put a fantastic website together within days. They were trusted advisers and did lots of research on the potential buyers and offers. They were very helpful with sales paperwork and during escrow, resulting in selling and closing escrow for more money than we could have imagined. I would highly recommend them for either renting or selling your home!
We are so fortunate to have met Marc and Kenz to help us find and get our dream home. Marc is the best agent and made me feel like I was their only client. He gave me his professional opinion on the number, terms, and conditions we should go in with which was definitely an advantage as it proved to be the perfect advice. Marc also helped me to get my loan done and walked me through escrow, and I got my dream home! He was with us every step of the way and We couldn't have done it without Marc. Truly grateful for these team and highly recommend them to anyone.
The team of Marc Tahler and Ken Zietz handled the sale of my mother's house in Santa Monica. I live in Colorado. They provided good support in price setting, managing a team to clean up the property, paint as needed, minor fix-it-up stuff, landscape etc - in a few quick weeks- at an exceptionally low cost. Within a week of putting the property on the market we had a contract above our list price. They managed the post-contract activity very professionally and wrapped up the closing when we wanted it to be.
Marc and Ken were so great in helping us get our home sold. After living here and raising our three children here for 17 years we were very attached to our home, but ready to move on. Marc and Ken handled us with great care and understood this was a stressful process for our family. Our house was only on the market for about a month before it sold. Since we didnt have a house to move into yet they were able to negotiate a 6 month lease back for us. We are very happy with how smoothly the whole process went and we cannot recommend Mark and Ken more highly.
Marc Tahler started working with us in March 2021. As I am sure everyone is aware, the competition to get homes in this market was unprecedented. It took until the end of November 2021 to get a house, losing out on many along the way. And in that time, Marc was there to ensure that we never made any poor decisions out of desperation, or made any compromises we would regret. He was always patient and straightforward with us. There was never a moment where we felt we were going to overpay for a home like others we were witnessing. Out of all the people involved in the home buying process, we felt Marc was the one we could trust the most. In the end we feel we got the best house for us, and I am very thankful.
Wow, weve tried to sell our house 4-5 times over the past 15 years since the kids left and we retired. It was a big 11,000 square foot house and although we thought it was perfect, the market didnt. We tried real estate agents that had a presence on TV. We tried agents that represented houses to movie stars and we tried some major Beverly Hills type agents. Nothing.Then we thought wed give the local guys Marc and Ken, that we figured could never sell our house, a chance, and less than a week later the house was sold at close to full price. Sure the market is good now, but they really came through. And they helped us get moved, as we were totally unprepared for such a fast sale, or I guess, a sale at all. If you want to sell your home, Marc and Ken are the guys to do it.
Marc and Ken were wonderful to work with. They have an excellent photographer who made the house look even more open and brighter than it was. They had great referrals for repairs they though we should make before listing, and good recommendations on the things that wouldn't add value to the sale or that the buyer would want to change anyhow. They sold the house quickly and ironed out bumps that arose in escrow. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
The LA market is beyond intimidating, but Marc and Ken made it all manageable for us. They were super attentive and made us feel taken care of and well-informed every step of the way, from making sure our showings were thorough and educational to walking us through the multitude of paperwork required to submit an offer. When you work with Marc and Ken, you're working with industry veterans who treat their clients like gold and know this market like the back of their hands. We LOVE our house and truly believe we found something so perfect because of Marc and Ken's knowledge, diligence, and enthusiasm for what they do.
Marc is FANTASTIC, he found our dream home in this crazy LA market. This was our first home, and he took as much time as we needed to feel comfortable through the whole process. I ask a lot of questions in general, and Marc explained everything, he really knows his stuff! He gave us all kinds of insight that only an expert realtor would have, and he knows the Los Angeles area like no one else. We felt like we had the best support one could hope for.
I highly recommend Marc Tahler! He was my agent, and helped me and my family buy a house in Encino. Marc is truly exceptional. He has a level of integrity and professionalism that is truly rare these days. He was honest and helpful every step of the way and was someone we could really trust. If we needed anything he took care of it immediately and continuously went above and beyond. He was fantastic during negotiations and supported us every step of the way during escrow. He had great recommendations for people to help during home inspections. Even after we had the keys, Marc continued to support us with anything we needed as we transitioned into our new home. We feel so fortunate that Marc was our agent!
