Client Love

“Lisa was an amazing realtor who guided me through every step of the process. I was a first time home buyer and Lisa was very patient with me. She fought hard to get the right deal and worked well with the other realtor to ensure everything was handled in a timely manner. I recommend her to anyone looking to rent or buy!”

Client

“Kim Hartley helped me find my new home. I just wanted to say she was amazing! She truly went above and beyond helping me through this process, she even helped with things she didn't have to. I will definitely be recommending her to anybody I know who's in the market for a new home and will be using her in the future. I'm so so happy Marlene told me about you and I was able to connect with Kim. So HUGEEEE thank you again. This is a big time for me and a huge accomplishment!”

Melissa, Client

“Lisa was there for us before, during and well after our Beverly Hills home closed. We work with her because she is committed to her craft and has an amazing eye for detail as well as access to information and properties that we do not feel we could have elsewhere.

Client

“Working with Kim has been the most wonderful experience. It's a tough market out there and she has been with me every step of the way. She knows the market, and knows the right questions to ask. As we continue to work together I know I have the perfect agent.”

D. Welan, Client

“William is a great real estate agent. He was very good at listening to our needs as a family, and our location preferences. He took the time to understand our personality and style, and he worked within our budget to put us in front of the most relevant options. We made an offer on a first house and had a bad surprise when they released the disclosures. We decided to pull out and he could not have been more gracious, guiding us through a process that was difficult and alien to us. William stuck through with us as we restarted our search and helped us get the perfect house, fighting for our family every corner of the way. We're lucky that he continues to advise us as we're evolving our new house, and grateful that he has become a friend.”

Violaine M., Client

“Lisa Rubel is a straight shooter who gets things done efficiently. She will always go above and beyond, with her client’s best interest in mind. She is one of the best and most professional agents we have ever worked with so we highly recommend her for your next real estate transaction. She is our agent for life!!”

Client

“William is excellent at helping me and my family navigate the current market. I have so many questions and he is on point with all of them... even the ones I never thought to ask! Thank you William for your exquisite customer service.”

Jennifer T., Client

“William is wonderful to work with and very patient. He drove me all over the neighborhood trying to find the right place to call home. He is very generous with his time.”

Karen R., Client

“William was kind, thoughtful, and patient. He was able to navigate me given every parameter. I would describe his overall demeanor as poised, while also keeping the conversation upbeat. He was able to provide a full assessment in a small window of time, and explained both strategy and tactics equally well. I look forward to our future exchanges, and hope you will have the same pleasure of working with William as well.”

Kim S., Client

“I had an excellent experience using Lisa Rubel. I met her at an open house in Beverly Hills. We worked together on a few properties in Beverly Hills and she was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the market. Lisa took very good care of me and considered my needs when I was trying to determine which property to buy. I was able to rely on her expertise for my purchase and have also used her to lease another property. Highly recommend her to my friends and colleagues.”

Client

"William was amazing to work with. This is not an easy market and it is priceless to have someone help you navigate the entire process and make it feel light and easy. Even when things got tough William was the voice of reason and never pressured me to ignore even the smallest detail. He knows his stuff and approaches the entire process with confidence and professionalism"
Jay C., Client

William was great to work with. He is knowledgeable, proactive, calming and went the extra mile. The housing market in the palm desert is a bag of tricks so it is important to have a skilled agent like William to help you navigate the ins and outs. We had a particularly difficult seller and William handled his uniqueness, protected us and was successful in closing the deal despite the bizarre behavior of the seller. William gave top notch service and I will recommend him to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell their home. We are happy with our new home.
