MY TESTIMONIALS

I've never sold a house on my own before, and when it came time to sell my father's house I felt overwhelmed by the responsibility. I wanted to sell it quickly, but also needed to get as much profit as possible to pay for my father's care in assisted living. How could I trust a realtor to work in my family's best interest without taking shortcuts to make his/her job easier? I asked everyone I knew for ideas, and chose Liz as my realtor when she was recommended as being experienced and highly conscientious. She proved to be both of these as well as a delightful person to work with.
Soft-spoken and polite, one may not expect the stunning effectiveness that this professional of diminutive stature brings to bear. Liz's 37 years of experience was apparent in her savvy guidance in the big decisions-- pricing, advertising, and negotiating-- as well as in the smaller details such as what could be left in the house and what needed to be repaired--or not. She marketed aggressively, reaching a wide audience with her eye-catching flyers and postcards. She overcame several unexpected setbacks with creative solutions and by going the extra mile, even taking it upon herself to interact with city officials on my behalf.
Through all the ups and downs, her positive attitude never faltered, and she gave me great peace of mind by being accessible by text, phone, email, and visits to the property, keeping me advised on every development as it occurred. In the end, she closed the deal sooner and with more net proceeds than I had dared hope for.
Her services were worth every penny of her commission, and I am grateful to Liz for championing me through this complicated process that was so crucial to my family's wellbeing. I applaud and recommend Liz as a consummate master of the real estate profession and a fine human being.

Liz is amazing, took care of my listing like it was her mother's! Before my property sold I moved across country and wouldn't have felt comfortable with anyone else other than Liz- Thanks!

My husband and I met Liz through a mutual friend. We told her about our plans to move out of CA. She gave us advice on little things we could do to make our house more marketable and offered us resources if we did not want to do them ourselves. We listed our house with Liz a few weeks later at a price that was higher than what I thought we'd get for it. It sold within 16 hours! Liz really did a great job in guiding us through the whole process, including finding us an agent in the area we moved to. She answered all of our questions promptly and always seemed happy to be helping us. I highly recommend her.

Liz Milan has the patience of an angel! I've been a Realtor for 30+ years. Liz represented me in the sale of my home in Burbank, where I resided for 25 years. It was a very emotional move and Liz held my hand throughout the entire process. If it wasn't for Liz I would have taken it off the market and stayed there the rest of my life! I am so grateful for her help because now I'm in a better place. Liz is so organized and efficient that I didn't have to do anything but pack! If it was a Saturday, Sunday or evening and something had to be completed, she was there. I could always depend on her. What a joy! Liz knew the area well and helped me come up with a price that made me happy and attracted buyers. She prepared a detailed accounting of the costs involved with the sale, passed out flyers in the surrounding area to invite my neighbors and their friends to the open houses, held open houses for the local agents, advertised my home on many internet sites, provided beautiful, professional photos of my home and stocked my house with high quality flyers. Liz also met with the home inspectors and appraiser (and provided the appraiser with detailed information on recent sales in the area, including notes on each property), other agents and buyers. She negotiated a great price for me and secured a back-up offer just in case... Liz was very detail oriented and thorough and made sure all the documents were correct. She sold my home in one week with multiple offers!

Liz Milan provided us with exceptional service from beginning to end. She has extensive experience with co-op sales and helped and helped us navigate the sometimes frustrating process with confidence and professionalism. She always responds promptly to emails, texts and phone calls and without fail is patient, knowledgeable and personable.

Liz gave us several suggestions about how to improve the unit and each one proved to be practical and effective. In the end we found an excellent buyer and were very satisfied with the price we received. Liz kept in contact with the buyer's bank to make sure everything stayed on track and as a result the entire escrow process went without a hitch.

My family and I couldn't be more pleased with Liz. She truly went above and beyond in every single area. I offer my highest and most unreserved recommendation. If you're buying or selling real estate in Southern California you won't find anyone better to represent you!

Selling a home is a serious, complex matter. Having that home 200 miles from where you live makes it even more complicated. My wife and I decided to select a few real estate agents from Angie's List to interview for the purpose of representing us in the endeavor. As a result we selected Liz Milan for the job because of her low key yet enthusiastic, knowledgeable manner that she exhibited during the initial interview.

Liz skillfully and patiently guided us through the weeks of bureaucratic maze of documents, inspections and potential buyer negotiations to a successful conclusion. We highly recommend that anyone looking for a professional agent to represent, seriously consider Liz Milan of Berkshire Hathaway. She will give you 110%.

Real estate agents always tell you they have your best interests in mind and will work tirelessly to sell your house. Mostly, it's more rhetoric than reality. Liz Milan is the real thing. She specializes in helping seniors or their families sell homes when the former residents move to more assistive settings. That's exactly what I needed, but I had a few complications. Number one, I live in Philadelphia and my mother's house was in Los Angeles. And number two, the house was in the name of a Trust with me as successor trustee. Not a problem for Ms. Milan. Once we met and finalized our business arrangement, she basically told me not to worry, she would take care of all the details on the ground in LA and keep me apprised of her every move. She took care of all the things I couldn't do from Philadelphia. The house and property needed a fair amount of prepping, so she hired all the cleaners, gardeners, plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, and handymen and made sure the work was done promptly and properly. She even took out the trash on pick-up days!

There were several competing offers on the property, some of them with quite complicated financing. But Ms. Milan is a seasoned, and canny, negotiator and she carefully explained the pros and cons of all the offers. As you would expect from a former realtor association ethics board adjudicator, Ms. Milan adhered to the highest standards of integrity, while offering cogent advice during negotiations.

To top it all off, Ms. Milan is a wonderful human being. She has an exemplary work ethic, is a delight to work with, and has a terrific sense of humor. And she sold my mother's house for the asking price and in the time frame I required.

Liz puts a very personal touch in everything she does. This is my second transaction working with her and she has been an absolute joy to work with. Not only is she extraordinarily knowledgeable in the field, but she is a people person and is thus able to work well with other agents, loan & escrow officers, etc. during the course of selling/buying a house. This is not to be underestimated. She helped me to buy and sell my first home and went to great lengths to make sure I understood and felt comfortable with every aspect of the process, no matter how minute. This was impressive considering that my first purchase was not for an enormous amount. She treated me as if this was a much larger purchase. I am thankful to have found her and look forward to working with her on my next purchase. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

Liz was great at getting all the details done and was very quick at getting back to me if I had any questions or issues. She is also a very patient person and kind at explaining any questions I had regarding the place. Even after I've closed, Liz was great at checking in on how things were going. She is a great person to work with, and I would definitely recommend her to anybody!
