"If you want to maintain some of your soul through the home buying process, Angela is truly the perfect realtor for you. When we first met Angela we were excited, but also extremely nervous about the whole home buying process. Rest assured, from the moment we met Angela we knew we were in great hands! She’s so friendly and real –we immediately felt like old friends! It was easy to be open about what we wanted and we appreciated her honest and realistic approach to the real estate world. She kept us eternally optimistic, but prepped us for the hard parts and the challenges that we were likely to face. Angela was our biggest advocate every step of the way, fighting for what was important to us and representing us in the most fair and diplomatic way possible. She was so patient and kind, literally holding our hands at times and keeping in constant contact with us through the most angst inducing days and weeks of the process. She always made her own opinion known, which was so valuable, but never pressured us to make any decision unless we were 100% comfortable with it. She helped us assess all of our options and see things clearly even when our emotion or nerves were getting the best of us! Truly can’t say enough great things about her as a person and a professional! Despite the implicit challenges of the whole home buying experience, she made it a breeze and we are SO beyond thrilled with our new home!!" - Jackie and Peter
"We looked for a home for nearly a year. With the crazy competition in the neighborhood we were looking in, I was nearly convinced we would never find our dream home. But Angela is patient and kind. She puts her clients first and always has her eye on the prize. After months of looking at dozens of houses, she found us our dream home…fought tooth and nail for us to get the best price and treatment from the seller. As compassionate as she is fierce, working with Angela Kerwin will ensure you get your dream house and that NO one gets the best of you." - Emily and Jason
"Angela helped my husband and I find our perfect first home…and it wasn’t an easy task! In today’s market in Los Angeles, and especially in the price range we were looking, we had to be on our toes as soon as a new listing popped up. Lucky for us, Angela was always one step ahead, setting appointments to see houses she knew we’d like as soon as they’d come on the market, and relentlessly fighting for us during the offer stage. We lost out on the first two houses we put offers on (bidding wars that resulted in much higher prices than asking) but Angela did not give up when we got discouraged. As they say, third time’s a charm because we purchased the third home we offered on, and it was definitely the best of the three. Angela is a true professional that made the buying process as painless for us as possible. She was in constant communication with the selling agent and our lender, keeping us informed during every step and always available to answer any question. We had worked with another agent previously, and I can honestly say I am so happy we met Angela! She is an agent you can trust, and know that she is on your side before, during and after the buying process. I would highly recommend calling Angela if you’re in need of an agent!" - Christina and Kevin
"I can honestly say that working with Angela was a complete pleasure. She was always available to answer any questions, and we felt that she was more concerned with finding us the perfect place versus just making a sale. Even when the closing got delayed a day and we had contractors coming to give quotes, she worked it out so that we could get into the home early and came and stayed with us there until we got word the closing was complete. She goes above and beyond! We cannot say enough good things!" - Kerrie and Gray
"Angela is a stellar agent who knows how to get the job done! She is thorough, thoughtful and very professional – all of which helped us secure our dream home! We 100% recommend using Angela as your real estate agent!" - Nancy and Dave
Her interest in real estate kicked off in earnest during the real estate boom of 2003. After a very long search, Angela and her husband finally beat out a dozen other offers to secure their first home and have had to fight for every home they’ve purchased.
Angela knows what it feels like to be competing with other offers and how to be the strongest offer submitted. Since then, they’ve bought, renovated and flipped numerous properties. They’ve done drywall, skim coating, window replacement, foundation, tile work and the list goes on. She’s not a licensed contractor, but Angela takes pride in knowing a thing or two about home renovations and has taken interior design courses as well.
Upon moving to Los Angeles in 2007, Angela and her husband first settled in Little Tokyo, a fantastic little hub of culture and nightlife. Yet, their lives progressed and they knew they wanted a more traditional neighborhood to start a family. They were itching to get their hands on something that they could put their sweat into and chose the most idyllic neighborhood in Echo Park, Angeleno Heights. It served them well for over a decade and they reaped the benefits of their hard work and vision. Their kids grew up, began school and they soon fell for South Pasadena where life is a bit more simple and daily walks are the highlight of their day.
With a background as a successful lobbyist and principal economic policy analyst, Angela knows the importance of effective negotiating. Couple this with her passion for real estate and working with cool people and you’ve got a recipe for a successful partnership.
If Angela is not working with clients, you will likely see her walking the streets of South Pasadena with her daughter and son, running or grabbing a coffee at her favorite spot.
