"Thank you Whit, for the quick sale of my Oak Park house. When I decided to put the sale of my home in the hands of a realtor from outside my area, instead of a local realtor, my neighbors were taken aback. But you came highly recommended and I knew that you were right for the task the minute we met. You saw my house as I did. You perceived the value of not just the house, but took into consideration the view, the property size, the location, etc. Your attention to detail and advice helped me prepare for the sale. You counseled me on the things that needed to be fixed, replaced, or left alone. You did your homework and knew how to handle every offer that came in, and every counter offer was perfect. I wanted to sell the house quickly and I appreciate that you sold it in days, and then worked diligently with the buyers to expedite the escrow. I can pay you no better compliment than to recommend you to my friends and family.
And I will." - Joe
"Whit came highly recommended from a friend of mine when it came time to purchase a new home. During that process, he came through above and beyond all our needs. He also became a good friend to my wife, Lindsey, and I. When it came to selling, he was the only choice. An absolute pro in the real estate game, who always keeps his clients’ needs at the top of his priorities. If you are buying, or selling in the L.A. area and choose not to use Whit, then you’re not getting the best in the game." - Michael

He took time to inform us about the market, the process for purchasing a home and what to look for when viewing a property.

"Hi Whit,
Elizabeth and I wanted to thank you for your tremendous service and professionalism. We also greatly appreciate you handling all the details, big or small and making this happen for us. We met you at one of your open houses years ago, bought a house you listed in August 2010, and now you represented us through the sale process on our second home. In all our dealings with you, we could not be happier or more satisfied. Your knowledge of the market and business issues is exceptional and we hope to work with you again. We certainly will refer you to our friends and family in the future.
If you ever need a reference, please don’t hesitate to ask.

"My husband and I had the good fortune of working with Whit Prouty when we recently sold our home in Sherman Oaks. Ours was not an easy transaction; we had relocated to New York years earlier, which made it extremely difficult to navigate and correct a pantheon of problems before our hillside property could be sold.
Whit went far above and beyond the role real estate broker. He met workmen for us, and sometimes, found the experts we desperately needed. He was always available to us, no matter the hour, and time and time again proved to be the voice of reason during a very difficult and tumultuous sale.
I am completely convinced, had it not been for Whit, the sale of our house would not have been such a resounding success and it certainly wouldn’t have happened so quickly. I have never met someone so focused and willing to help with every detail (he even found our moving company for us.
Whit Prouty is simply the best, and it is a pleasure for me to recommend him for any project." - Paula
