Brett is the top of his class. He navigated our family seamlessly through 3 transactions, all in record time. On the purchase, Brett negotiated for nearly a month and multiple rounds of offers to get us our dream house. Where most buyers (and their agents) would think the parties were too far apart and give up, he had the patience, deep experience, and solutions-oriented mindset to find creative ways to keep the seller engaged and bridge the gap. It also was valuable that he has a broad professional network that included the seller’s agent, which helped make negotiations more productive. In addition, he helped advise on critical strategies in negotiating with lenders to achieve mind-blowing rates that made the purchase possible. On the sales of our 2 homes, Brett and his team epitomized white glove service. They did a phenomenal job from start to finish—repairing, cleaning, painting, staging, and prepping the homes. We literally turned the keys over and he took care of everything within a matter of days. It was incredible and a huge time and stress saver for us to not have to handle any that, and it was amazing how quickly he was able to put both properties on the market and pack them with appointments the very first days. As lawyers, we also truly appreciated that he understood contracts in a substantive way that resulted in quality strategic advice, when most other agents tend to gloss over the details and just tell clients “it’s all standard”. We achieved higher prices and much faster sales than we ever could have anticipated. Underlying all of this is his undying work ethic and dedication to clients—he gave so much time and attention to us, was responsive at all hours, gave up so many nights and weekends, and made us feel like we were his most important client (knowing full well that he has hundreds of other more important and high profile clients that I’m sure he makes feel the same way as well). We loved working with Brett so much we already have referred him to friends. Exceeded expectations on every level!

Brett Raskin and the entire team at The Raskin Group are truly stellar and we cannot recommend them more highly! We worked with Brett on both the sale of our Santa Monica condo and purchase of our Mar Vista home. Throughout it all, Brett and his team offered the support, guidance and knowledge to make it a smooth experience and get us exactly what we wanted. On the sale, Brett brought with him remarkable expertise and was able to help us market our condo to maximize our return. Plus he was able to do so in the most efficient manner possible. On our purchase, Brett went above and beyond and worked closely with us to find strategic ways to target our ideal neighborhoods and was always responsive and able to help secure showings, as he has very strong relationships in the industry. It was a competitive market and Brett was always supportive and helped manage our expectations and also talk through various pros/cons. He was always so thoughtful and wanted to ensure we had all of the information and truly loved any home we put an offer on. Brett also scheduled and attended thorough inspections for us which helped us effectively evaluate and ultimately secure the home of our dreams!

Brett & his team are PHENOMONAL! Not only did we go with Brett as our agent to sell our condo in Santa Monica, but we also went with Brett to purchase our new house in Redondo Beach. Brett is very thorough, knowledgeable, trustworthy and truly cares for his clients. He was there every step of the way, provided clear updates in each stage of the process and made sure that we fully understood everything and addressed any questions that we had. Brett was also extremely responsive. We would call or text Brett at random times throughout the day and he always made it a point to respond to us in a very timely manner. On top of his reliability, Brett is extremely knowledgeable in the real estate business and understands different market dynamics that helped us make the best decisions in every step. He provided his guidance and expertise when it came to making finishing touches to help get the most value out of the sale of our condo, and helped us get the best interest rate for the purchase of our new house. Brett took the time to understand our needs with what we are looking for in our new home and provided us with feedback based on his vast experience that we wouldn’t have been able to have otherwise. Selling & buying a house can be stressful, but because of Brett (& Nicole) we had the best possible experience and are thrilled with everything Brett and his team provided! I would HIGHLY recommend anyone and everyone (specially if you’re looking around in the South Bay) to go with Brett as your agent. Brett is a high character individual who will do everything in his power to put his clients in the best position and we are thrilled he was our agent for both the sale and purchase of our new home!

Brett not only guided us through a complicated home purchase -- acquiring a house before it was completed through a 10 month escrow -- but also navigated us through a competitive housing market. Brett made himself available at any time, day or night, and his expertise and patience with our many questions were essential for first time home buyers. Brett's dedication to his clients does not end at the close of escrow, but he continues to answer our real estate questions and has become a good friend! We truly could not be happier with our home, our decisions throughout this process, and our relationship with Brett. We have recommended Brett and his team to our closest friends, and we recommend him to anyone considering buying a home!

The moment we met Brett, we knew he was the agent for us. We were first time home buyers, and Brett helped us get our first condo in Santa Monica. His team was engaged, professional and we were happy with the all services the team provided. Brett was knowledgeable about the Santa Monica real estate market. He had a great relationship with the Seller's agent, and was able to obtain the winning bid for us and got the transaction done. We highly appreciated Brett's attentiveness to our asks. His calm demeanor was helpful during the negotiation process. He made us a priority, was close to the transaction, and solved each issue with careful consideration. We valued his work ethic and common sense. We are happy homeowners thanks to Brett.
