Kind Words

“Lori is charming, delightful, and most importantly, a good listener — but don’t mistake her kindness for weakness. Behind the scenes, she’s skilled and experienced with the ins and outs of real estate probate, and she’s honest in telling you where your time and money are best spent in preparing your property. Most importantly, she respected and worked with my unique family needs in handling the home we sold. Working together, we handled (and sold) a challenging probate property while I lived 3,000 miles away. I always rested easy knowing Lori was at the helm.”

— J. Peterson-Black, Administrator

"Patricia exudes competence and calmness from start to finish. She handled everything from arranging for the estate sale, clearing and prepping the house, showing it and presenting me with many bids, and finally helping me make the right decisions. I give her my highest recommendation!" *- Charles Young, seller

“Thank you very much for all you have done. It was very reassuring for us to know that the house sale was in a safe pair of hands over there. Thanks for responding so quickly to emails and queries; it made a stressful process a lot easier.”

— Nicky S., UK, Executor

“My family inherited a triplex property in Los Angeles, but we live in Northern California and had not seen the property in decades. We were impressed that they had experience with probate sales, older buildings with deferred-maintenance history, tenant occupancy issues, and buildings still in probate. Patricia and Lori were patient and encouraging as the months went by, finding resources for resolving the tenant situation, recommending insurance agents, and locating services to clean up the building and yard. Their awareness of the market and the condition of the property helped them set a realistic price, which resulted in multiple offers. Both Lori and Patricia took the time to fully explain every document that we were sent. Their good humor, experience, and encouragement made a long sale process a success at the end, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality representation.”

— Caryn Lyons, Executor

“Fantastic agent! Lori was a wonderful agent to help our family through the challenging process of relocating to Los Angeles from Chicago. She was very patient and worked with us for over one year, touring homes on our behalf and helping us narrow down to a manageable list. We found a wonderful home that checked all the boxes, and Lori was an absolute pro throughout the entire process. She has been just as helpful post-closure with referring service providers and helping us get settled into our new home. Could not recommend her more!”

— Ashley & Lon, Buyer

“My family and I were overwhelmed with the task of helping a very sick relative clear out and sell her home in order to afford her end-of-life care. Lori made a tough situation feel like a breeze to get through. Her positive attitude, wealth of knowledge and connections to a variety of vendors was impressive. I highly recommend working with Lori.”

— Pam B., Seller

“Excellent level of service and professionalism in selling a difficult property. I appreciated Lori and Patricia going above and beyond the norm in all aspects of the transaction.”

— Max Schulze, Administrator

“Thank you for all your hard work and your perseverance through all of the difficulties of selling my sister’s property. You helped me with all the details and guided me through to the best plan of action. I was impressed with your integrity and picking up the ball, getting things done, when others didn’t follow through. Your professionalism showed through from beginning to end.”

— Regina Wendell, Administrator

“You are both amazing! If anyone ever asks me, in these circumstances, whether it’s better to have a good lawyer or a good realtor — I have the answer. You ladies were instrumental in both salvaging some family wealth, and a bright spot in the din of this otherwise self-perpetuating industry known as ‘probate.’ I certainly want to thank you both for a great job from all of us. Huge thanks.”

— Sam George, Administrator

“Good morning Lori. I do not have the vocabulary that would express the great job you performed over this long, unpredictable process. Your patience, understanding, cooperativeness, flexibility, and courtesies are truly appreciated. Excellent work by you and your partner Patricia.”

— Cipriano Salazar, Fiduciary

“The death of my grandfather was such a stressful time, and having Lori and Patricia handle the home sale was the best decision I made. They really put in the time and energy to make sure the house sold in a timely manner. During this difficult time, you need a team that will handle everything efficiently, successfully, and present a clean transaction. Thank you for giving us exactly what you promised, and for your hard work and honesty.”

— Sayuri Olivera, Administrator

“My wife and I inherited a condo in Los Angeles, and after many months we were ready to sell and decided to use Lori as our agent. Lori and Patricia took control of this awkward situation and supervised the final cleaning and clearing of a very messy condo. They held open houses, negotiated bids, then patiently guided my wife and me through the procedure — even driving all the way to our Orange County home for a meeting. All of the tasks were completed in a very timely manner (well under three months), professionally, positively and pleasantly. A very rewarding experience that I heartily recommend to all.”

— William Nagel, Administrator

“I cannot tell you how much I appreciated the full-service operation that Lori Aronsohn provided. She sold a property in L.A. for me, and I currently live in Lompoc. She handled all repairs and cleaning and met workmen without me having to be on hand. She held multiple open houses, and we received a cash offer with a 21-day closing. It was the most stress-free transaction I have ever encountered. Hats off to her. I would recommend her to everyone.”

— Leslie Stanfield, Executor

“Patricia and Lori are awesome! Any question or problem was addressed promptly and in a manner I could understand. Patricia was also invaluable in helping to get my sister’s car out of the garage — no task was too great for her! I would highly recommend Patricia and Lori for selling any property that is in probate.”

— Gina Coonley, Administrator

"I am grateful for having met and worked with Lori and Patricia. The subject property had been in the same family for nearly sixty years and due to the health of the surviving member suffered from neglect and deferred maintenance. It provided great peace of mind to have met and worked with Lori and Patricia during this process. They were professional and responsive without being overbearing or ‘pushy’. Communication was clear on the steps needed for cleaning and rehabilitating the property for sale. We worked well together in coordinating and choosing contractors during the necessary steps for clean up and basic repairs. They had contacts available and at the same time welcomed my suggestions for alternative contractors for specific tasks. We worked well together and they functioned as my ‘on the ground’ managers. Their demeanor during the listing, showing, and escrow phases, brought us into contact with quality buyers, agents, and escrow officers. The requirements of the probate process were understood throughout. I recommend without reservation."
