Testimonials

We had the best experience working with Aiesha. We were 1st time homebuyers with a lot of questions and a lot of skepticism about the process. She answered everything and kept us at ease the entire time, even when we hit speed bumps in negotiations with the seller she handled it perfectly and put us in the best position possible. Beyond her preparedness and professionalism, she genuinely cares and it makes all the difference. Cannot recommend her more highly!

Aiesha is an absolute pro at every step of the real estate search. She got to know exactly what we were looking for and then used her extensive knowledge of the LA area (including places further afield!) to provide a deeper knowledge of every neighborhood we considered. Her knowledge of remodeling meant we had even more insight on how we could approach each potential home with our needs in mind. When it came time to make the purchase, she was hands-on every step of the way and even got us a bigger credit than we were expecting on some needed repairs. With all the horror stories I’ve heard of LA real estate searching, I was so grateful to have such an expert agent in our corner. At every step of the way I felt heard and empowered, and I couldn’t be happier with where we ended up.

Aiesha is an outstanding broker: the only person you should work with in Los Angeles. We have worked with her on two properties (buying and selling) at the same time, and she handled both with grace, transparency, integrity, reliability, and attention to detail that is unrivaled. Going above and beyond in both instances to make sure we got the best possible price. Anyone would be extremely lucky to work with Aiesha.

Aiesha is a pleasure to work with and stuck with us through a fairly traumatic housing search in an extremely weird market that extended from mid 2021-late 2022. She helped us make *10* offers, supported us after we cancelled a purchase, and eventually helped us successfully purchase a great house in our ideal neighborhood. I really valued that she was able to think from our family’s perspective about homes that would make sense for our situation, and as a parent herself, she had a lot of great tips and suggestions for us to consider.

At several points it seemed we just couldn’t find a place that fit our needs in a neighborhood that made sense for us. Aiesha helped us think through our search parameters, and then checked in on us many more times to make updates to our parameters when we got discouraged. She has impressively deep knowledge of neighborhoods throughout LA and suggested areas for our search that we otherwise may not have thought of.

Between Aiesha, my husband and I, we easily went to at least 100 open houses, maybe even close to 200 – it felt like that was the only thing we did on weekends for months. I know she has other clients but it seemed like she was there for us and only us! I was always amazed by how responsive Aiesha was, answering calls and texts nearly immediately, and putting together several offers within hours of seeing a house.

When we cancelled a house purchase, she worked extremely hard to talk us through all of our options and make sure we had the support we needed to get through the process. And when we eventually successfully bought our house, she helped us blaze through a 17-day escrow period (which insanely included securing a loan), line up inspections in a super-short window, and even helped us find several contractors.

Aiesha is a pleasure to work with and though I hope I don’t have to go through this process again anytime soon, I would be pleased to work with Aiesha on our future real estate needs, and would highly recommend her to others!

Aiesha was a joy to work with. Over our year-long house hunt, she was very patient and checked in regularly to see how we felt about the market and available stock. When we were ready to visit some prospective homes, she made sure all of our questions were answered by the listing agents and also asked some that we didn’t even consider. As we put bids together, she did a super job helping us craft offers that were direct and fair. The closing process went smoothly and now we are loving our new home. Simply put, Aiesha is a rockstar!

We had THE ABSOLUTE BEST possible experience having Aiesha as our home purchasing real estate agent! She is smart, talented, observant, and intuitive in her approach to showing us properties. She’s also kind, receptive, and incredibly caring in listening to us and our needs. All of that outstanding professional knowledge, experience and ability along with her personal warmth and wonderful demeanor combined to guide us to a terrific home where we wanted to be—in a market with a limited inventory of homes.

In addition, she guided us comfortably through the escrow, inspection and closing and successfully negotiated credits from the seller for several items. And then, after we took possession, she set us up directly with outstanding tradesmen (plumber, electrician, and contractor) to help us complete a few improvement projects on the house. She was ALWAYS available and attentive and constantly went above and beyond for us in every way!

We honestly don’t think we’d have succeeded in finding a house that we would be happy in without her. And her wonderful personality actually made the whole process not only as stress-free as possible—but also fun!! We literally hit the jackpot by having Aiesha as our agent—there’s just no one better!!

Aiesha is the best! We could not have done it without her. She guided the entire process of preparing the house for sale, and helping the sale itself be as successful as possible. She was a great partner throughout the process, and was very patient and flexible as we had so much else going on that it took us a bit longer than originally expected. Selling our home was so important because it set us up to be able to purchase our next home (where Aiesha was our agent again). She really cares and puts a lot of effort into every aspect from beginning to end. With Aiesha’s guidance and great sense of aesthetics, we performed some minor renovations and landscaping that went a very long way, and she helped us select the right staging company. The house looked better than it ever had. The family that ended up purchasing it is extremely happy too as Aiesha is a pleasure to work with and they could see we all cared about the house and wanted them to enjoy it too.

We arrived in Los Angeles in January for a new job with a toddler and a baby on the way. Aiesha was recommended by a friend of a friend and was extremely helpful from the beginning, while we were trying to figure out whether to rent first or buy right away, and in what part of Los Angeles. As fourth-time home buyers, we were very familiar with real estate transactions in general but brand new to the quirks of the Los Angeles market. (There are a few doozies.) Aiesha knows them all and then some. If you’re looking in an area she covers, just go with her. She communicates regularly, with patience and levity when things are going smoothly and with respectful urgency when they are not — the latter is crucial in time-sensitive home buying transactions. The market was brutal and we had very little time. Aiesha helped us focus our energy, geographic location and, crucially, helped us to really understand what we needed from a home. After several days of multiple showings and a disappointment or two in Mid City and South LA, we ended up spending an afternoon with Aiesha in Lake Balboa and found a home we loved immediately. Aiesha helped us to make our strongest bid that same day and advised us throughout the process, working with our lender to ensure the sellers had all the information and assurance they needed to accept our offer and, eventually, close in 21 days.

After 20 years in the Bay Area, we decided to make the move to LA and went with Aiesha as our realtor via a referral from the design community. We talked with a couple potential agents and immediately gravitated to her given the strong sense of style/design (she also remodels her own projects), knowledge of the local LA market (specifically the east side of LA), and overall savviness/personability/ethos/vibe. To reiterate – I was really looking for a local agent who knew the area – so important in a market like this. Additionally – we are two aesthetically inclined people so the agent’s eye also mattered (we did NOT want a box home flip!).

After taking the time to show us the area – I am happy to report that our FIRST offer ever was accepted March 2022 – the literal height of the housing market in LA! Aiesha moved quickly, and we were able to land at back-up on our first offer ever out of 15 offers (house only showed 1 weekend) – the entire process happened in less than 48 hours. We didn’t think too much about coming in 2nd on our first offer – the other comparable houses we had been looking at were looking at 25-50 offers (ridiculous). She prepped us that back-up isn’t a bad spot to be and lo and behold on Day 9 of the contingency inspection period the original buyers dropped out. Aiesha immediately launched into her arsenal of personal inspectors and contacts to get us our own set of reports asap. We used this plethora of information to carefully inform and navigate the inspection process for the first time in LA. She flagged a ton of different items to navigate and though it was against her interest – she really left no stone unturned. Aiesha provided all the information without bias – she was not pushy at all and that is rare in today’s market (seriously read the Yelp reviews for some of these agents…). She is professional negotiator who operates ethically – she was able to negotiate a fantastic deal on a dream home for us – unheard of in this market.

Ultimately – we closed on our first offer at the peak of the market in East LA. As a connoisseur of design and real estate herself – Aiesha knows a great home when she sees one – she can look at the workmanship immediately and she knows her neighborhoods. As a 2nd time homebuyer (1st in LA) – she made the process smooth and painless (how this differed from my 1st in SF!). We will continue to bother her for her opinion as we make cosmetic updates and I look forward to working with her again when the next chapter comes.

We could not recommend Aiesha more. She really fought for us, every step of the way, and made sure the purchase would go over the finish line as best as possible. Always available to answer any questions we had and she really helped us navigate through every detail of the process.

We absolutely loved working with Aiesha. She is knowledgeable, professional and responsive. She advocated for us when necessary, listened to our needs, and helped us work through some really tough moments and decisions. She is also really fun and cool, which is important since you will be in contact with her 24/7 once you hit the ground running 🙂 We couldn’t rave enough about her and will most certainly use her for any future real estate needs. We also are OBSESSED with our house, and we have Aiesha to thank for that!

Working with Aiesha to find our dream home was TRULY THE BEST. She was there for us at *every* step of the process — we always felt like we were making informed, educated decisions because she was so great at explaining everything. Not only that, she knows homes and design so she can spot a diamond in the rough or tell you when something isn’t worth the price/pain. When you work with her, you have a real partner and that’s invaluable in this crazy market. She found us a home that checked off everything on our list and some things I didn’t even know we wanted! It would honestly be impossible to recommend her highly enough!!

Aiesha is the best there is! She helped my husband and I along with our now 7 month old daughter, navigate this highly competitive LA housing market until we found our dream home. Aiesha is kind, compassionate, patient and incredibly knowledgeable. We were first time home buyers and Aiesha helped us navigate the process so thoughtfully. She listened to every single question, honored all of our ‘must-haves,’ encouraged us to consider aspects of the search process that we hadn’t, and guided us along every single step of the way. We will WITHOUT A DOUBT be recommending her to all of our friends and family!

If we could give Aiesha more than 5 stars we would! She went above and beyond! As first time home buyers, there was a lot we didn’t know and she was a knowledgeable and reassuring guide during an unprecedented time in the real estate market. We feel fortunate to have been able to find a house and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. She not only took our concerns into account but would voice her own, and wasn’t bashful about letting us know if she felt we might be considering a less than ideal situation. She was really committed to us finding the right fit, rather than being committed to making the sale. She genuinely didn’t want us to settle for anything we weren’t excited about. She was so responsive and communicative throughout the process and even checked in with us afterwards to see how we were settling. And, even though our sale was As Is, she successfully negotiated the terms on our behalf too. We always felt safe in her hands. She is amazing at her job and everything you could ever want in a realtor.

I feel so fortunate to have had Aiesha as our realtor! From our first conversation over the phone, she gave my husband and I great advice and insight into the housing market and buying our first home. She asked us many thoughtful questions to understand what we were looking for, and I was so relieved to finally work with someone who actually listened to and understood what we wanted and wasn’t just sending random listings all the time! She was always there to answer questions and guide us when we had many questions or doubts, and her sense of calm and extensive knowledge always put us at ease and gave us so much confidence when we were ready to make any big decisions. She was always very organized, responsive, and we always felt like she was fighting for us every chance she got. Amazingly we got our 2nd offer on a house accepted, and we can’t wait to move into our beautiful new home thanks to all of Aiesha’s hard work and guidance!

My husband and I just closed escrow on a home with Aiesha as our agent and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly intelligent, business savvy, and aggressive in ensuring that you receive top dollar for your home (and/or find and purchase the home of your dreams). You can trust that she always has your best interest at heart— she will go the extra mile to ensure that her clients are happy and receiving the best possible deal, and we watched her do it for us time and time again throughout our experience with her. After brilliantly marketing our home’s sale, we wound up with over a dozen offers. It was really impressive to see her navigate our multiple offer situation with such ease and artistry. We closed the sale with almost $80k over asking price and couldn’t be happier with how easy and straightforward she made the escrow process as well. Aiesha is very responsive and communicative, with great customer service skills and a friendly and warm personality. She is a pleasure to work with all around, and we will most definitely be calling her for our next transaction.

Aiesha is an incredible agent. With her help, I bought a terrific condo at the historic Village Green. Aiesha was particularly knowledgeable about the history of this complex and understood its potential. It was evident from the moment I meet her that she had genuine enthusiasm for the city of Los Angeles and was well versed in the subtleties and distinctions of specific neighborhoods and communities; she very much *knew* the city. This was my first time purchasing property and Aiesha led me through all the steps: the loan process, house hunting, price negotiation, inspection, closing, everything. Always attentive, always with an answer, she helped me through the entire process and addressed my endless stream of questions along the way. Her patience with this “rookie” homebuyer was admirable. She cared deeply about meeting my goals and finding me a property I liked the look and feel of, but was still within budget. Another reviewer here wrote that Aiesha is charismatic; I couldn’t agree more! She is honest, forthright, charming and I’m very happy to have met her. Highly recommended.

Aiesha was great! I am a first time home owner and was consumed by frenetic energy. She helped take the reins and calmed me with her knowledge. I felt as though I was in great hands. She also helped me negotiate the best possible deal. For that I am very grateful.

Lotoya was an awesome resource and agent. Her and Frank Barbano helped in the sale of my apartment building in hollywood, and the process seamless. I’ve been doing this long enough to know that holding a tough escrow together through roller-coaster negotiations is no easy task. Not to mention they got me a record breaking price. She comes highly recommended.
