Justin Sawai and team were wonderful! I recently bought my first home - it felt huge and scary! But Justin and team were so kind and helpful. They were always a text or phone call away and answered my many many MANY questions with sincere kindness & thoughtfulness. More than just how lovely and wonderful they were to work with (which I couldn't say enough kind things!), they were incredibly knowledgable about the real estate market ALL OVER LA (and I searched ALL OVER LA). I felt like in the negotiations, they were tough and really fought on my behalf and also gave me really wonderful guidance when things seemed tricky or confusing. Whenever it's my time to buy another home - Justin and team ARE the team! If you're looking for a realtor that you can trust like family - this is the team! Allana W. – Hollywood Hills

an ever changing agenda! He has gone above and beyond all expectations with
staying in constant contact and has made himself accessible whenever needed.
Justin has been a HUGE help in finding properties in an area that I am not in
nor familiar with!"- Brandy Darrough, Santa Monica

Steve and Justin are a Dream Team!
"In November, I asked them to
close escrow on my parents' West Los Angeles property by the end of the year
(two months away, including the holidays). They immediately swung into action
and leveraged their experience and network resources to market and sell the
property within this timeframe.
Their compelling marketing materials and selling strategies were spot-on,
reflecting Steve's 40+ years of experience growing up and selling properties
within the neighborhood. Steve and Justin's hard work and professionalism
resulted in multiple offers over the listed price. As a
"newbie" to the selling process, I relied heavily on both of them for
guidance in assessing each of the offers and walking me through the escrow
process. I appreciated their responsiveness to my requests and their expert
guidance on all issues encountered during this whirlwind process. With their
support, my parents' property was sold over list price and closed escrow in
less than one month.
I highly recommend both Steve and Justin. They are an experienced,
knowledgeable, and client-focused Dream Team!” T.L. - West LA
He finds residential real estate especially rewarding and is gratified by helping people find their dream homes or starter properties that can help them achieve their goals. Justin says, "Residential real estate is personal. There are so many decisions that an individual must make about the community, school system, and whether a neighborhood fits a person's interests, needs, and lifestyle. It's my role to guide them through the process, listening to their needs and ensuring complete satisfaction."
A lifelong resident of Los Angeles, Justin grew up in the Pacific Palisades, and he now resides in Santa Monica with his wife, Chelsea, their son Rowen, and their dog, Zuma. Naturally, Justin’s interest in real estate was piqued at an early age. He grew up with a realtor father, and his mother worked on the design side of the business. His work experience includes positions with CBRE, Caruso Affiliated, and Holtz Construction. With a background in Urban Studies, he has a unique understanding of the Southern California market and the aesthetics of neighborhoods. "From a 1920s bungalow to a modern mansion, they all have character and an emotional component for different people to connect with," he adds.
A graduate of Loyola Marymount University with a bachelor's degree in Urban Studies, Justin is the product of local schools, including Paul Revere and Palisades High. When he's not working, he enjoys the outdoors: surfing, diving, mountain climbing, running, and cycling. Also a self-described "foodie," Justin loves to explore the diverse restaurants, neighborhoods, and cultures of Los Angeles. He is a proud volunteer with the Surfrider Foundation Blue Water Task Force and member of the Rapha Cycling Club.
