IN THEIR OWN WORDS
HERE’S WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING
(and some pictures of the homes they bought or sold)
“Ellis is 5 star all-around. Super responsive, knowledgeable, patient, thorough, and the list goes on. We are definitely demanding clients (some may say crazy), and he got us the house of our dreams despite this crazy market!”
We look forward to working with him again when we upgrade, which I'm sure will be soon! Johnny & Brittany
Ellis has been exceptionally helpful and professional during our homeownership journey.
With decades of experience in the South Bay, he provided us with valuable insights into neighborhoods and even specific blocks. As first-time homebuyers, we relied on his guidance and process management during our purchase.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Ellis. He was straightforward and composed, a steady advisor for us. He was very responsive to our questions and patient with our busy schedules. He has continued to help us with our home after closing. Thank you so much, Ellis! We highly recommend him and would work with him on future transactions. Trae & Daniela
“My husband and I had a great experience working with Ellis, from the very first meeting until getting the keys of our home. Ellis was extremely responsive and made sure to explain every step of the process which as first time home buyers was very important to us. Additionally his expertise in the area where we were looking was was invaluable and helped us find our first home.”
“Ellis sold our house which turned out to be a great experience. He able to command top dollar for our property.”
Ellis was absolutely on point throughout the entire selling process and responsive at all times via phone, text, and email which is of utmost importance to me. He answered all of the questions we threw at him no matter what. And he does what he says he’s gonna do, so I felt confident and comfortable with him throughout. I know that we were not the easiest people to deal with, so I can appreciate the effort he put in to work with us. Jonathan R.
“When we moved from San Diego to Manhattan Beach, we worked with Ellis on a long distance purchase of a home.
Ellis was a joy to work with from his patience scheduling showings based on our limited schedules, and his thoroughness/expertise in home sale and purchases. More importantly, he is honest and fair. If it's not the right decision for you, he'll tell you even if it means more work for him and puts his client interest first. We hit a complication towards the end of our home purchase completely due to the sellers of the home. Ellis went out of his way to do what he could to better the situation even though it was not his role or responsibility. Ellis knows that doing right for the client always pays off in the end.” Lynn & Ed
“If you’re looking to purchase or sell a property, we would highly recommend Ellis Posner. What can we say about Ellis other than he is a complete professional? My wife and I purchased our first home through him, and he was our go to person when it was time to sell. Ellis is an honest and a knowledgeable agent, the best I have worked with. As an agent, he provided all information we needed and is well versed in the local logistics. He showed his understanding and patient during and throughout the escrow process. If you are in the market for a home, he is your go to person.”
“We had worked with Ellis previously when we purchased our home, and we knew that we wanted to work with him again.”
Ellis helped us determine the best time to list our house and also helped us come up with a pricing strategy that worked out great. He helped us maximize the amount of interest and the sale price of our home. Ellis was very proactive and made himself available every step of the process. One thing that we really appreciated was his responsiveness. Chris & Linda
“He thoroughly knows his markets and goes far beyond the typical agent to provide a complete picture of the general area and neighborhood.”
Ellis helped us buy our home and when we needed to sell 2 1/2 years later, we sought out Ellis to represent us again. We didn't consider using anyone else. Most importantly, Ellis works to fully engage his clients to understand their needs and desires. And finally, Ellis is an individual we trust completely. He is good to his word, distinguishes between his opinion and facts and delivers on his commitments. Please consider working with Ellis to address your real estate needs. Mike and Therese
“If you're looking for experience, integrity and professionalism look no further. Ellis brings all these qualities to the table and more. His calm but vigilant approach helped us considerably through the process and we always had the feeling he was looking out for our best interest.”
Thank you for being there even through all the dumb questions I never felt I couldn't ask. Let's face it buying a house can be stressful, but Ellis was there at every turn keeping us on track. Thank you again for all you did. Love my new place. If you're still searching for a realtor, Ellis comes with my highest recommendation! Jeff H.
“We closed on a beautiful condo in Redondo Beach, and it was all possible because of Ellis. We’ve bought and sold many times in our lives but this one had challenges. Fortunately, Ellis was right there every step of the way with us. Ellis’s knowledge and patience far exceeded our expectations, but it was his dedication to us that was the driving force to make this happen. Out of the thousands of agents in LA, we are truly blessed to have crossed paths with him.”
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.”
Phil T.
“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.”
George C
“Ellis was the listing agent for the home we sold. He was easy to work with and very responsive to questions.”
We had already moved out from our home by the time we brought in Ellis. He coordinated everything including inspections, viewings, open house, and staging in such a way that we never had to return to the area. I would definitely recommend Ellis.
Ken R
“Ellis stayed on top of things and kept a very complicated transaction moving forward.”
Our deal was not for the faint of heart or for the inexperienced. We don’t know that it would have gone through without Ellis there to push all the right people at every step of the way. Thanks so much Ellis.
Angie & Curt
“Ellis was the listing agent for our house when we first bought it. We were so impressed with him that we decided to use him when we wanted to sell.”
We loved working with Ellis because his style of selling - very on top of everything, always quick to respond, and provided great suggestions to help us sell our house for the highest possible dollar. Selling a house can be very stressful and what I liked most about Ellis is that he's confident, calm, and talks you through the whole process. If we move back to the L.A. area, I will definitely be using him to purchase.”

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 recommended to me by my girlfriend’s friend. From the very beginning, Ellis was responsive and was able to translate a lot of real estate jargon into simple terms for me. This helped make the whole process pretty smooth for me. I trust his knowledge and would work with him again.”

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!

“Ellis helped me buy my first house in Redondo Beach back in 2011. Buying my first home was a dream come true and the buying experience was better than anything that I could have asked for. When it came time to sell my house, Ellis was my first and only choice. He guided me through the entire process with the expertise and trust.”
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.
