Bill Lustig with Compass

I had to sell my home as part of a divorce settlement and was looking for an agent with area knowledge and attention to detail. Luckily, I was referred to Bill Lustig by my neighbors who had also used him for the sale of their Santa Monica home. Bill is calm and professional in all settings, a pleasant and thorough negotiator and willing to communicate under awkward circumstances with grace and patience. The house was priced perfectly and the sale happened quickly. There was absolutely no drama (and there could have been!). I am thrilled that I got the chance to work with Bill as my agent. He succeeded for me beyond my wildest expectations in both price received and the overall process of the sale. He is also a genuinely kind person. I highly recommend Bill Lustig and I will use him again should the need arise.

My husband and I went into the whole process of buying a house as a couple of completely clueless people as far as LA real estate goes. We did know, however, to find an agent who was interested in the same things that we were--a kindred spirit, so to speak. After loads of research on the particular neighborhood we liked, we found Bill. He is a gem--held our hands through the whole process! His patience is infinite. In this crazy competitive Los Angeles housing market, these two first-timers ended up with their dream craftsman bungalow in a great little historic neighborhood. Bill is a real person; he's got time for you--he MAKES time for you. He knows this city better than anyone else. He's a catch, and we now consider him part of the family. We are forever grateful for him!

My wife and I were very lucky to be referred to Bill by one of his colleagues in commercial real estate. The Los Angeles real estate market is incredibly competitive and our search for a home took nine months. Throughout that protracted, sometimes anxiety-filled process, Bill was always an expert advisor, voice of reason, and calming influence. He's been in the game for decades in Los Angeles and has seen it all. He never told us what to do. Instead, he provided valuable insight at every turn to make sure we were as informed as possible. When we eventually found the home we're currently living in, Bill guided us through the negotiation and we received many of the concessions from the seller that we requested, despite the "seller's market" environment. Even after we closed, he continued to provide us with a wealth of guidance -- connecting us with an expert contractor to remodel our kitchen. In simple terms, Bill is a rock star.

Bill Lustig was a phenomenal partner in selling our home near Laurel Cyn. He knew the market history in amazing detail, he was very patient and friendly, and he had helpful options for all the choices we had to make. We don't do this very often, and Bill made it straightforward and predictable. And we got a great price in the end.

Bill was our realtor this past summer when we sold our house. He was diligent, thorough and attentive as he steered us forward with timely suggestions, sound advice and humorous asides when the going got tense. We benefitted from his years of experience and his deft touch as he answered questions, made suggestions and oversaw the details. It did not take long to find a buyer and Bill walked us through the paperwork in a smooth fashion. We will forever be grateful to him for all of his guidance and support.
