What's it Like to Buy with Dear LA?

Megan and Joanna are the best!!! We went from just starting to think we might be ready to buy a house to moving into our dream first home in two months… and we got It for the list price. Being first time home buyers, everything was new to us and, to be quite honest, a little overwhelming and Megan talked us through every step of the process and made sure we understood everything, from escrow to inspections all the way through helping us find a contractor to do some minor renovations after we moved in. Couldn’t imagine working with any other agents in LA! If you’re looking to buy a house on the east side, look no further than this amazing team!!!

I am a first-time home buyer in LA and Megan was truly such a great agent, always happy and willing to go to all the viewings, and trust me, I took her a long to plenty [Even had her Facetime me while I was out of town]. Megan is great at holding your hand through the whole process and at the same time being a realist, which I truly appreciated. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient and always on hand to ask the questions I wouldn’t even think of. I cannot recommend her enough and will recommend her to friends & hopefully work with her again soon!

It was a pleasure working with Brad and Megan at Dear LA. They helped us find and buy a house in northeast Los Angeles that we are very happy with - no small feat in LA. They were great: knowledgeable, helpful, patient, calm. They have strong relationships with inspectors and contractors, which was crucial to the process. They helped us think negotiate and manage all the steps involved. I highly recommend Dear LA, and Brad and Megan in particular.

Joanna and Megan stopped at nothing to find us our first home. They made themselves available to us whenever we needed them, providing invaluable advice and perspective from years of experience. We will be eternally grateful to them for their tireless support through our long and difficult slog through a strange housing market. In the end, they made the impossible possible. We absolutely love our house. Thank you!

I could not have asked for a better agent and team to rep me in the Northeast Los Angeles area! Cyrus was consistent in his communication, quickly figured out the properties I would likely be interested in and helped guide me through the purchasing process. I have nothing but great things to say for Cyrus and the Dear LA team. If you're looking for the best, look no further.

We would not have been able to get the incredible place we found without Megan at Dear LA. It was directly because of her negotiating abilities, eagle-eyed view of the market, and relationship with our lender that we were able to get the home we never thought we'd be so lucky to end up in. It wouldn't have happened with another realtor, guaranteed.
