We have worked with Michael Edlen and his team on the sale of two homes and the purchase of two, as well. At each step along the way, his local knowledge, experience, and expertise were invaluable. From pointing out aspects of various properties and neighborhoods that we might not have otherwise noticed, to his negotiation skills, we felt we were in the best hands possible. He was attentive to us throughout, paying close attention to our property preferences (listening to what we wanted, avoiding showing us properties that weren t a fit). His team (we ve worked closely with Tati, Christina, Terry) is awesome, and we always felt that we had advocates for our needs. Michael and team also addressed any questions immediately and thoroughly. Most of all, we are four months removed from our purchase, and Michael still checks in on a regular basis to see how we are doing and if we need anything--it s not a transaction with Michael, but a relationship. Look no further than Michael Edlen and team--they re the best in town.

Mike and Tati were first class throughout the entire process. From offer submission through closing, they provided excellent support and handled the transaction with professionalism and grace. Thank you!

Michael and Tati are the best! They helped me both with the sale of my parents home in West LA and the purchase of my home in Westchester. They are patient and on top of things every step of the way, and have the knowledge and skill to navigate sellers and buyers through the competitive LA market. They are experts in their field and I could not recommend them more highly!

Hiring the Michael Edlen team was one of the best decisions I ever made. From my first Zoom meeting with Michael to the hour I pulled out of my driveway for the last time, less than two months later, every detail was handled in a professional and respectful manner. Team member, Christina Wagner handled the booking and supervision of painters, carpet layers, repairmen and inspectors, as well as showings. Tatiana Weiss was invaluable in applying the necessary legal skills to navigate a myriad of details and forms. And Michael, the overseer, orchestrated the negotiations when we had five offers which resulted in a final sale well over asking price.

Over the past twenty-four years and seven different real estate transactions, our family has been wonderfully represented by Michael Edlen and his team. In 1997, they found our family our current home in Pacific Palisades. We particularly appreciated that Michael listened closely to what we were looking for and then found it before it went on the market, which spared us both a bidding war and the need to run around looking at Open Houses. In 2019 they found our son and his wife their home in on the Westside of LA, getting their perfect offer accepted before the competition s. In 2020, in the midst of Covid-19, they safely steered our daughter and her fiance through extreme house-hunting challenges and found them the perfect home a mile from our son and his wife, just when it seemed that there was no chance they would end up in their dream location due to a lack of inventory. Now everyone is safely working from home in their beloved houses.The Edlen Team has also given us excellent help with rental-income properties. They found us a multi-family property in Santa Monica, procuring the property for us even though we weren t the top offer. The sellers felt that Michael s reputation made ours the best offer to accept. The Edlen Team also helped us find a single-home rental in Culver City. We kept that property for three years until The Edlen Team (with their excellent marketing and staging) sold it for over $260,000 what we d paid for it. And when we recently decided to sell our Santa Monica rental, we were able to sell it as well at a price much higher than we d paid.You will be as impressed as we are with the Edlen Team s personal attention. Their knowledge and experience greatly minimizes the potential stress of buying and selling, from initial inquiries through the close of escrow. Their vast network of contacts means you will always be one step ahead of the competition, anywhere on the Westside from Malibu to Westchester and probably even farther. I give my highest recommendation.

We are so grateful for what Michael Edlen and Team have done for our family. They found us our forever home in Pacific Palisades 24 years ago before it even went on the market, thus avoiding a bidding war. Nine years ago they helped us purchase a multi-fam rental income property in Santa Monica, closing the deal for us even though we weren t the top offer. Following that, they found us a single-family home in Culver City as rental income. Two years ago they listed and sold that property for us within weeks with multiple offers, closing for $264,000 over what we paid for it three years earlier. A year and a half ago they found our son and daughter-in-law their forever home in Culver City, days before it was about to enter a bidding war.And now they ve found the perfect home for our daughter and her fiance, just a mile from our son and his wife. Happy parents! The amazing thing is that the Edlen Team was able to do this in the midst of a quarantine for the Covid-19 pandemic. My daughter has been extremely cautious, and we were grateful that the Edlen Team shared her concerns. Safely finding them a home they love during the current challenges was an incredible feat.Each of these transactions went incredibly smoothly for two reasons: First, The Edlen Team listens carefully to their clients needs. Second, The Edlen Team has incredibly talented and knowledgeable people in each department and at every step -- from finding what you want at the best price if buying, to listing/staging/marketing if selling. There will undoubtedly be unexpected bumps in any transaction. The Team s knowledge, experience, and contacts ensure that these bumps don t become your problem.But most impressive is their personal interest in you. They make you feel like you re their only client. They re truly the best.

We met Keith back in 2018 and continued intermittent dialogue with him over the years as we were passively looking for a new home. Keith would periodically send us options that always fit our predefined criteria, which was important to us. He was never pushy and always had a great bedside manner. While we ultimately pursued a new construction opportunity away from the west side, we chose Keith and the Edlen team to represent us for the sale of our existing home. Keith s professionalism and knowledge of the Pacific Palisades market immediately put us at ease. The expertise Keith brought to the table, coupled with the contribution from the entire Edlen team, paid dividends. We received staging and design tips, discovered our square footage was understated per an updated floor plan analysis and received valuable advice throughout the process. Keith s approach combined with the team s contribution allowed us to maximize our property s potential and resulted in a quick sale that was stress free from beginning to end.

I appreciated Team Edlen and the job they did in first prepping the house for sale and the subsequent sale itself. Very professional. The Edlen Team was there for me when I had questions and was available night and day to discuss the house and the sales process.

He has been a realtor in the Palisades for over 30 years and there is no one more knowledgeable and qualified to determine property values and availability. I needed a brokers value estimate for our property which he provided as well as answering all of our questions regarding the property.
