IN THEIR OWN WORDS
HERE’S WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING
(and some pictures of the homes they bought or sold)
Ellis was the buyers agent for a new home that I purchased in Manhattan Beach. Ellis did a great job from start to finish.
Ellis was also the sellers agent on a home that I sold in Hermosa Beach. Ellis helped me get higher than list price.

“There are many out there who want to sell your house and/or sell you a house. If you want to experience the complete opposite and if you want a true professional as your agent, then I truly recommend South Bay's best real estate professional, Ellis Posner. He recently assisted me in an off-market sale of my condominium. Ellis was there to make the road as smooth as possible. The man works tirelessly and his knowledge of the area and of the process is second to none. He is meticulously responsive and he is as honest as the day is long. In other words, he is a true professional and he does sincerely care for the best interests of his clients. A rare breed indeed in these days. If you are thinking about buying or selling now or in the future, give him call. Meet him and talk to him. I think you will come away with the same impressions and feelings that I did.”

“This is the 2nd house the family estate/trust has sold thru Ellis. The 1st sold (Redondo Beach) within a few days at the appraised cost. 2nd (West LA) sold within a month for the price we wanted to sell it. Ellis provided excellent advice on whether to upgrade or as-is. Masterfully handled competing bids. Keep me informed at each step especially while I was away in Europe during most of the sale period. Took the time to explain everything. Presented options and recommendations, but never pushed any personal agendas.
Knew the market, the area and the trends. He told me whether he was speculating or guessing and when he was confident of his information. I trusted him completely. And very reasonable fees. Ellis Posner is the one to trust in the South Bay and West Side.”

Dan W on Zillow
For over 4 years I was attempting to buy a home with no success. Realtors would sometimes even just send me to a house without them to see if I like it. I pretty much gave up.
A year later I decided it was time to give it one more chance and I did my research from what I had learned from previous experiences. I came across Ellis and his track record looked impressive and it was the best thing to happen to me in a long time.
His Zillow Reviews alone speak for themselves. I am a firm believer that everything in life is a relationship. Trust, honesty, integrity, communication and low and behold, Ellis possess all of these qualities.
On our first meeting, he asked question no realtor had before. He got to know me and my family, where we are and where we wish to be. It was a great meeting and I felt confident.
Ellis is also very well connected and because he is a relationship builder as well, he has a huge network of friends in the industry and that really important. Not to mention he has over 16 years of experience and that played a part as well.
It wasn't long before we started to see homes we were interested in.
I really can't say enough good things about Ellis and his service.

Ellis was amazing to work with. I was a first time homebuyer, but was also looking for a duplex that I could rent out half of, which also made me a first time landlord. Ellis guided me step-by-step through all the hoops of the home-buying processing as well as the complications that arose from purchasing a rental property. He gave his expert opinions, but was never pushy and allowed me to make my own decisions. He was always thinking multiple steps ahead to ensure that everything was in my best interest - during the buying process and in the future. If I have the opportunity to work with him again in the future for another property, I will definitely do so. Thank you, Ellis!

This review is way overdue. In today’s booming real estate market, it does not take a lot to be a real estate agent, even one who produces. I have met so many agents who lack market knowledge, do the minimal, and offer very little value to client. However, it takes a great deal to be a true professional and it pays to work with a true professional. Ellis is one. I met Ellis in December 2014 after I had frustrating experience working with a couple of other agents who failed to help me secure the properties I wanted. Ellis took the time to understand my purchase criteria and within a week helped me secure a town house in Manhattan Beach. It turned to be an excellent buy. I again called for Ellis’s help in Feb, 2016 to bid on a property in North Hollywood. Ellis does not know the North Hollywood market well, however, he immediately took the initiative to call the seller’s agent, did his research on the properties and provided me with a number of keen observations. We ended up not buying the second property and it was the right decision. In both situations, Ellis proved to be a quintessential professional and one of very best agents I have ever worked with. He is extremely knowledgeable about the South Bay real estate market: demand and supply, changing market conditions, and factors that impact the fair market value of the properties. Even more impressive is his ability to navigate in uncertain situations and identify unique opportunities. He takes the initiative to gain critical information to provide valuable input in the decision making process. He is very dependable, responsive and client oriented. You could always count on him to give objective, balanced opinions and sound advice based on years of experience. He has built an excellent network and collaborates well with agents on the other side of the bargaining table. He is also an excellent negotiator focusing on win-win solutions. I would absolutely work with Ellis again and would highly recommend him.

Ellis was a true partner in helping us find and buy our house. He would quickly respond with his opinions of every potential house that we thought might work for us, giving advice on the pros and cons of the properties and neighborhood. He would use his network to investigate the properties. And he went above and beyond when we decided to make an offer on a house right before we went on vacation - from helping us with the offer, even pushing loan officers to help make our offer stronger to the seller. We also really appreciated that he kept us informed on the process every step of the way, especially while we were on vacation when our offer was accepted and we needed to get everything together for the initial escrow period. We want to finally re-iterate that Ellis has been a great partner in our home buying adventure, and value his judgement and professionalism.
