My husband and I wonder if anyone has a real estate agent they LOVE who works the Atwater Village, Echo Park, Los Feliz areas. We have a buying agent whom we tolerate, so we don't want to end the relationship unless we believe there's really something better out there. Someone smart with great communication skills--who doesn't talk our ear off--would be wonderful!
I have an excellent agent. He is smart, friendly, not pushy and believe it or not honest! No BS. He gets the job done! I have used him, as well as several other of my friends and family - who just rave about him. His name is Christopher. Give him a call. You will not be disappointed. His cell number is ###-###-####.
Good luck :}
PETE BUONOCORE with Prudential.....he is the BEST!!!!!!!!! We have used him for over 10 purchases and turn all of our friends onto him. You will love him!
There is no one better than Tim Hartley.

Jerry Hsieh with Keller Williams - Sunset is awesome. His office number is ###-###-####. He was our selling and buying agent and helped us sell our condo the day after our first open house for way over our asking price - which is amazing in this market. Then he helped us find our home in Silverlake which we are so happy with. He's very intelligent, cool and great to work with.
We've used RIck Yohon at Sotheby's on Hillhurst for buying and selling. We love him! Down to earth, proactive in finding what you are looking for and definitely won't talk your ear off. He also has done alot of home remodeling on his own homes so if you need advice on a fixer upper and costs, he can offer great advice. Tell him J. and Rick Madden sent you.
Mr. Don Snyder with Coldwell Banker - ###-###-####
We used him when we were looking in the areas you mentioned. He works hard to find exactly what you're looking for in your price range. We loved him!
I have a good friend who is an agent in that area — Kimberly. I haven't used her personally but I'm planning to once we're ready to upgrade homes. I'm sure she is great.
She has 20 years real estate experience, has lived in Silver Lake for years — they own property there and she has listed and sold properties there since 2002. Her clients are all from referral through previous clients, friends and family. She's with Coldwell Banker - Los Feliz (the company with the biggest market share in the area). She is a mother of two. Our 6-year old sons are in kindergarten together and best friends.

Good luck on your new home and especially your new baby. I was in your shoes six years ago. I remember those days — now I have four kids!
Hey S... Call Brian Hall at prudential on Hillhurst... He is honest and reliable and will work hard for you. We bought a house from him in 2003(after having twin girls in an apt. for 10 months).. now back with him looking again. I can't stress how mush I appreciate him.
Good Luck

She is actually the one who introduced me to Mamasource and she loves babies and pregnant women! She was so good to me when I was preggers and has been since I had my first baby 7 mo ago. The areas you are talking about are her specialty. She doesn't advertise so you won't see her name on a park bench, she works by referrals only.
Dear S.,
When we relocated here from Switzerland, we were lucky enough to find the BEST real estate agent. Extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful. Her name is Nancy Valentine and her phone # is ###-###-####. Her website is www.nva-realestate.com. Even long after we've moved in she's has helped us with lowering our property taxes and other information. Give her a call! And good luck with the new baby. How exciting!

Mona Apana (monaapana.com). We bought our house with her and then five of our friends bought houses with her too (all in the areas you are interested in). She is smart, honest, trustworthy, and a lovely woman all around. She feels like family. I would never buy (or sell) another home without Mona. I cannot say enough good things about her. Good luck.
