Payman helped us get our first home, and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was attentive, responsive and advocated for us well during negotiations. He was tireless in his work ethic, and guided us through the complicated process of buying a home, and made it as smooth and painless as possible. Would recommend him to anyone interested in buying a home during this difficult market.

Payman did an extraordinary job selling my Westwood condo. In addition to being thorough and diligent, Payman was thoughtful and considerate of the emotional toll of opening my home (and pets) to strangers. When mistakes made by the management company derailed the sale, Payman continued to work with the buyer's lawyer and the management company until everyone had a clear understanding of the facts and recent changes in condo law. Payman kept me apprised of every step of the condo sale process and treated me with kindness and respect throughout.

From the moment we met Payman Shilian, and throughout the process of selling our mother's Wilshire Corridor apartment, he made sure that we fully understood all the options presented and were comfortable with each of his recommendations. We faced the challenge of selling the apartment while living on the East Coast. Payman designed an effective media campaign and generated sustained interest from serious prospective buyers. We relied on his good judgment in responding to offers and he presented a realistic picture of the real estate market and its volatility. He kept us well-informed throughout the process. We are confident we got the best price in a challenging market. We recommend Payman Shilian without reservation.We are confident we made the right choice in deciding to work with Payman Shilian.

Payman is a professional, relatable, hardworking and driven agent. He helped my husband and I get our current home in May 2022 while I was also nearly 6 months pregnant. He made the process seamless for us. He negotiated on costs, made sure full inspections were done on the home, was patient with paperwork, assured us that he would do everything in his power to get us the Culver City home we desired before our baby arrives. Not only did we get the home with 14 other offers on the table, but he also took us out to dinner to celebrate. AND, on top of that, he gave us a special gift for our new home. THANK YOU PAYMAN!

I have bought two condos in Westwood with Payman as my agent over a period of 5 years, so I have substantial experience working with him. He is extremely trustworthy, and straightforward and has incredible negotiation skills. When he visited properties with me he always provided a fair assessment of the positive and negative features of each condo. He also was never pushy, and always worked with my best interest at heart. He has a very good standing in the community among other realtors, so we were able to get our offer accepted even though we were competing with buyers that had high all-cash offers. He works incredibly hard during the negotiation phase and is thus able to get substantial benefits for his clients. Payman can quickly answer all your questions and concerns at a moment's notice, as other reviews from his clients here have written. He is also highly knowledgeable about all the aspects related to real estate, and is happy to share his wisdom with his clients. His skills are particularly valuable in a place like Los Angeles, which has a hyper-competitive real estate market. Payman's competence and professionalism are unparalleled, so work with him, you will not regret it!

Working with Payman has been a pleasure and we wouldn't be living in our dream house without him. End to end, he was instrumental in navigating a stressful process of searching for, negotiating, and closing on our new home. He guided us patiently throughout, asking questions to truly understand our perspectives, and showed time and again that he had our best interest in mind. He offered a practical and experienced lens that gave us a leg up in the current competitive climate, and his strong negotiation skills landed us better than we hoped. Thank you Payman!

Payman is a professional and strategic agent. Funny story, he was actually the selling agent of the first home we bought. He was so respectful and had such great communication, we decided to work with him a few years later when we needed tenants. And he definitely did not disappointment. 2 years later, we still have the same tenants - and the best ones yet. Thanks Payman!!

It was great working with Payman. Low pressure, and he had a genuine interest in my goals. As an introverted person it's unnerving to see but he's genuinely interested in getting to know people in general. That's not so important for home buying, but it's nice. What is important is he was able to negotiate a lower price at in a seller's market, and no detail was too small to hammer out. I'll be redeveloping/selling my house some time in the near future and I hope to work with Payman in the process.

Payman helped us buy our first home. He was a great companion on what could have felt like a stressful journey. He was always on time. Quick to respond at all hours of the day. Really appreciated his honest judgement regarding the pros and cons of a property. Never pushy, but doesn't beat around the bush either. The perfect amount of guidance. Took care of us even after the deal was sealed. Really enjoyed working with him. Thanks Payman!
