"Realtors Jill Cannella and Rae Bertram both deserve a rating of 20+ stars on every level. They are the ultimate professional experienced real estate team and were absolutely amazing in every aspect. Faced with listing and selling a long-time family home, Jill and Rae handled both with the utmost care and compassion. They are hardworking, honest, and extremely responsive. They remained focused and supportive during what was an emotional and at times challenging process. Their negotiation and communication skills were top-notch as well as their keen eye for detail, and their fast and thorough follow-up which resulted in receiving multiple offers for the home, selling it well over the asking price! I highly recommend them to anyone selling or buying a home - they are truly the best. "

"What a pleasure it was to have another opportunity to work with Jill and Rae of Very Fine House! I was not planning on buying a home this year, but when the perfect one came on the market in my favorite neighborhood (Santa Monica’s desirable 90405), I couldn’t resist. In this highly competitive market, Jill and Rae expertly advised me on how to put my best foot forward in my offer, which resulted in a quick acceptance and easy escrow. Rae and Jill went above and beyond to make me feel at ease throughout the entire process. They were incredibly diligent with their review of inspections and property history, which was especially important to me as a first-time buyer of a single-family home. Rae and Jill’s partnership made me feel confident that no stone went unturned. I also worked with Jill and Rae to sell my condo, which we did so off-market at top dollar in what I am sure will go down in history as the most seamless real estate transaction ever."

"Jill and Rae got us into our dream home. Highland Park was an extremely competitive market, but we felt confident bidding on homes with multiple offers with them by our side. Open houses were often busy, but they kept us calm pointing out the “pros and cons” from aesthetics to location to foundation and more. Their expertise allowed us to navigate the chaos and stay focused on our goals. Once in escrow on a home with multiple offers, Jill and Rae created a friendly relationship with the selling agent, while driving a strategic negotiation. They focused on the small details of each inspection and closing document. Not many people say escrow is easy, but it felt pretty seamless with their help. Couldn’t imagine going through this without Jill and Rae by our side. Thank you both! "

"Jill helped us sell our home that we purchased with her in 2017. It was a really great house, but Jill and Rae made it SHINE when we listed it in May of 2022. They had a smart approach to staging the house while we continued to live in it--keeping all of our larger furniture pieces, and then focusing on the design and decor and aesthetic that would have wide appeal to buyers. It really worked out and we are so grateful to them -- within two weeks we had half a dozen offers over asking price and it was eventually purchased by an amazing couple."

"We worked with Jill and Rae to find our new dream home in 2022! They did an amazing job showing us all sorts of properties within our budget that matched our exact style. They have incredible knowledge of the West Side of Los Angeles and beyond. We settled on a house in Ocean Park in Santa Monica and we couldn't be happier. They were for us every step of the way from showings to the actual move in!"
