"Augustine came highly recommended to my wife & I and after our initial phone call, we knew Augustine and Amy were going to be the PERFECT real estate agents for us. Augustine helped us with our move from out of state and navigating the complexities of purchasing our first home together. His expertise and knowledge is beyond remarkable and we felt confident in the entire process from start the finish.
Augustine always made sure he was available to us for any questions, he took the time to do FaceTime and in-person tours whenever we requested and truly empowered us with his knowledge to ensure we were making the right decision for our family. Augustine truly has your best interest in mind and consistently worked harder than we even expected to ensure we maximized the most value out of the deal.
We're so happy to have found such an amazing real estate agent that we plan on using for our future purchases/sales :)" - Steven L.

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Augustine, Amy, and their entire team, and we could not speak more highly about the experience! We were first-time homebuyers who were very apprehensive about how to navigate the Los Angeles real estate market, and so we really wanted to find an agent who not only knew their stuff but would be fun to work with in what we thought would end up being many months of searching for and bidding on houses.
It was clear from the first call with Augustine that he was the one for us! Right away we could tell that he was very knowledgeable, confident, communicative, connected, strategic, and supportive. Ever since that moment he somehow always made us feel like we were his only clients--only ever a quick email, call, or text away, even off-hours--when we know that he and Amy are probably the busiest agents around!
It literally took us one weekend to find our dream home (which was a blast to do with Augustine), and he helped us put together a really competitive offer that was accepted just a few days later. He helped facilitate all of the inspections and appraisals we needed (even buying us delicious pastries to enjoy while we waited), put us in touch with some wonderful lenders, and even offered referrals and support post-close. Moving is hard enough, and I can't imagine how much more difficult the homebuying process would have been without someone like Augustine in our corner.
While we worked with Amy just one or two times, we could tell that she was a dynamo, too. I had made an offhand comment to her that all of the staged houses had the super luxurious Aesop hand soaps and how I felt so behind the trend with my Method ones. When we closed, she and Augustine not only had a beautiful bottle of champagne for us, but (you guessed it!) a set of Aesop hand soap and hand lotion. Really just goes to show their attention for detail and how they'll go above and beyond for their clients.
Save yourself the trouble and look no further! Augustine and Amy are the absolute best agents. Cannot thank them enough!" - Richelle P.

"sold a condo in west LA area Augustine and Amy are gems in the real estate market. They are very responsive and knowledgeable about the local market. They have good process expertise and great negotiation skills. We met them, and within 30 minutes, gave them the keys. They took care of everything and navigate through all the sale processes while we are not local. They did a great job with dedication and passion. I echo the online excellent reviews for them." - Rose W.

"Had a great experience working with Augustine and his wife Amy for our first home purchase. We had searched for a home in SoCal for months without success. We worked with couple of agents before we met Augustine and knew right away that his wealth of experience, expertise and connections is what we need to secure a home in a competitive market. Augustine and his wife used every resource at their disposal to ensure we got the right house at the right time. They made the process that comes after winning the bid look seamless as well, working closely with our bank and escrow agents to ensure closing on time. Their easy going manner and communication skills are a commendable. All in all, we know we would be returning to Augustine and Amy for any real estate needs that we may have in the future." - Sahil P.
