Words can hardly describe how exceptional I consider Agnes as an agent. She help me to successfully navigate the minefields of LA homebuying, and opened my eyes to how much your buyer's agent *matters*. First, let me say I'm a very discriminating, skeptical, and difficult to impress client. Agnes truly stunned me in the value she added to the home buying process. I had unsuccessfully been in the market to buy a home for many years, using a buyer's agent who was a friend to put in offers. He added little value to my home buying process, and I simply thought this was the norm - part-timers, doing real estate as a side hustle for extra income. Not Agnes - real estate is in her blood. She lives, eats, breathes real estate and has the credentials to prove it. She's a LA native with a full career serving as an agent, passed down from her parents. But what's truly impressive, is the passion and love she has for all the high-stress, high-stakes moments in the home offer/acceptance/closing process. Buying a home in LA was easily one of the most stressful moments of my life, yet Agnes LEANED INTO the challenges, rather than avoiding them. Perhaps most importantly is Agnes's work ethic -she's always on, always motivated, always executing. I'm 100% certain, that her work ethic would lead to success in any business pursuit, we're just lucky enough that she's applied that ethic to real estate for our benefit. Lastly, let me reiterate my former "real estate agent skepticism". I have a lifetime of real estate experiences where I had a diminished view of an agent's role in home buying. It's just matchmaking a buyer and seller, right? WRONG. And I had no idea my entire life until meeting Agnes. Buying a home is so hard in LA, and Agnes made all the difference in my success. In so many ways - I feel lucky she had the bandwidth to accommodate me as a client. Thank you Agnes! You'll be the first I call with any future RE needs and my top recommendation to friends needing a home.

Working with Emily made buying a house not only smooth but dare I say fun. As a first time home-buyer, I was nervous and excited--but mostly nervous. I was overwhelmed by the process and had a lot to learn. Emily was patient and incredibly knowledgeable, explaining everything to me thoroughly and thoughtfully every step of the way. She understood me and my partner's needs, hopes, and dreams and helped us find a house that was just right for us. She was an incredible liaison with the many people we had to correspond with to make the sale, interpreted jargon for us that went over our heads, and took tasks off our plate. I didn't know what it was like to work with a broker before working with Emily, and I sincerely hope everyone gets to have the kind of experience we had with Emily.

We had a great experience working with Evan Tsuchiyama from the Teresa Fuller Team. From the start of our home search through post-closing, Evan was extremely attentive, responsive, and helpful. He listened carefully to our priorities and identified properties that fit our needs. His communication and responsiveness were excellent, and he was able to build a strong rapport with sellers and listing agents. We asked Evan for advice on numerous decisions during the closing process and even after closing. He was always extremely helpful and quick to respond, which made the buying process smoother. We are grateful for getting to work with Evan and would definitely work with him again.

Pattiann was wonderful to work with. We were embarking on a home purchase during a particularly tumultuous time in the LA market, and she helped us through some pretty tricky analysis, and challenges along the way, all while keeping a bright and sunny attitude! She was professional, thorough, and compassionate. Highly recommend working with her!

Agnes Fontaine of the Teresa Fuller Team at Compass is truly in a league of her own when it comes to buying a home in Los Angeles. We found Agnes through a Zillow recommendation, and little did we know just how lucky we were. From our very first conversation, it was clear she wasnt just any realtoraEUR"she was someone who genuinely cared about finding the perfect home for us. We were searching for a home for my parents, and their checklist was longaEUR"and at times, conflicting. We often wondered if wed ever find a house that met all our needs. But Agnes, with her deep real estate expertise (both of her parents were realtors, and it shows), struck the perfect balance of warmth, patience, and professionalism. Beyond her skill, working with Agnes was FUN. She has impeccable taste and an incredible eye for both aesthetics and potentialaEUR"she doesnt just see a house for what it is, but for what it could be. Whether pointing out hidden gems, discussing what could be fixed (and exactly how to do it), or connecting us with the right people to make it happen, she brought an invaluable level of insight to every property we saw. On days when I couldnt attend showings, she would pick up my parentsaEUR"always punctual, always preparedaEUR"supporting my mother up and down stairs with a steady arm. She was endlessly patient, never rushed us, and somehow managed to navigate even my parents, otherwise opposite, requests with ease. Then, the unexpected happenedaEUR"wildfires swept through the region, and the real estate market below the 134/210 freeways skyrocketed overnight. Homes were suddenly selling 20-25% over asking, and we found ourselves in an even more competitive, high-pressure environment. It was overwhelming, but Agnes remained steady, strategic, and proactive. She tapped into her extensive network, uncovering off-market opportunities and ensuring we had every possible option. Her connections, expertise, and determination were unmatched. Finally, after four months of searching, we found the one. In a turbulent market where displaced buyers were scrambling for homes, we felt uncertainaEUR"but Agnes was confident. We followed her advice to the letter. She delivered our offer with, attractive terms, a compelling letter (her strong recommendation) and within 48 hours, it was accepted. It may not have been the highest bid the sellers would have received but it was how Agnes prepared the offer with both the terms and our letter, that is what won us our dream home. Even after closing, Agnes has continued to go above and beyond. She has guided us through every next step with the most bespoke treatment weve ever received, ensuring we feel supported and confident in our new home. From start to finish, Agnes handled everything with skill, grace, and absolute professionalism. We truly could not have done this without her. Agnes is everything you could hope for in a realtoraEUR"knowledgeable, kind, resourceful, and deeply invested in her clients. If you have the opportunity to work with her, take it. Youll be in the very best hands.
