Keller Williams Downtown LA

I needed a motivated realtor to sell my house quickly and I was introduced to Heather Presha. Heather let me know what to expect and gauged a reasonable timeline to sell my house. Heather had a great strategy that got me a sale in less than 30 days. The process was so easy for me and to top everything, Heather was so enthusiastic about what she was doing. I am so glad that I met Heather and would not hesitate using her again if the need arises for a realtor.

I would highly recommend Mike Crowley and David Hurtado to any DTLA landlords. Both were extremely industrious and professional throughout the process, securing a lease on favorable terms for me within several weeks. Mike, especially, went above and beyond — supervising various repairs and cleaning. I cannot thank them enough.

Mike Crowley is a consummate professional. He and his team worked effortlessly to accommodate a very difficult sale (property held in trust) and was able to do what Brad Korb could not do. He sold the property within two months of getting the listing. Brad had the listing for over a year, and there was not one offer.
I highly recommend Mike and his team for any of your real estate needs. He is forthcoming, goes above and beyond and works tirelessly to ensure you have the most pleasant experience, no matter the difficulties.

We originally started looking for places in downtown LA 2 years ago and worked with Benson. Benson was very helpful and constantly sent us updates. The market starting going crazy so we took a break. When it slowed down again, Benson was out of town but connected us with Saul in late December 2013.
Saul was great to work with. He was familiar with the downtown market and was very helpful and informative. He was very patient and very flexible with our schedules, meeting us all over downtown to look at various units. We had first put in an offer for a place that we liked, but the offer was rejected. A month later, the unit was still on the market. Saul began reaching out to the realtor and helped us negotiate down to the price that we wanted. Our closing went smoothly and now we are happily moved into our new place. I will definitely work with Saul again in the future

When my kids and I moved back to Los Angeles in 2009, I needed to purchase a property in the San Fernando valley. I needed to be near CSUN due to my son’s education. I needed a good agent that would accommodate for my specific needs and look out for my best interests. My brother introduced me to Marcus Rich, and he was more than up for the task. He definitely went the extra mile to make sure that my family and I were secure in our options, and made the process far less difficult than it would have been without his help. I would recommend contacting Marcus to anyone looking to make real estate purchases as smooth as possible.
His email is:

How do you judge the success of a real estate office? Customer service, and delivery of product. Keller Williams downtown had both, and I had a great experience buying my first home here through Saul Galvan.
I’ve lived in dtla now for 3 years in an apartment I love and feel safe in. My requirements when looking for a condo to buy were similar, and then slightly abnormal, since I would be owning this spot. — well-​lit, walking-​distance to restaurants, bars, and the metro, safe, and zombie-​free. Yes, zombie-​free. I actually used those words when describing what I needed to Saul. Now, I am not crazy, I just have a very irrational (and hollywood-​induced) fear of zombies. And I think any less-​friendly, less-​open realtor would have written me off, but Saul took that in stride, and found me the perfect place. He read that request as open floorplan, no dark corners, etc. which is exactly what I wanted.
Saul sent out weekly updates with new houses in the area, and took me to view as many houses that I could find time for that peaked my interest. Saul was more than happy to accommodate showing the house to my mom, who lives out of the country, and many different groups of my closest confidants, all of whom agree he did a splendid job. Each viewing, Saul had a few extra places thrown in, and with each time that we saw places, Saul was able to narrow down what I REALLY wanted, and what would make me happy. I ended up purchasing a unit in the exact building he had pegged for me from the start. That’s pretty spot-​on reading of your clients.
I never felt pressured to buy, and he even told me that if I didn’t love it, we shouldn’t move on it. I felt confident from day one that Saul and Kellery Williams Realty really knew the downtown area, and would find me the best fit for my needs, lifestyle, and budget. They were spot on, and I am so happy to have wandered into their little office.
It did take a few months to whittle down the list of needs/​wants, and in the middle, Saul sometimes seemed busy, but the moment I pinged him and reminded him I was around, he was immediately responsive.
Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!
Tip:
Office is across the street from Ralph’s, next to the Starbucks at the corner of 9^th and Flower.

Saul had a great attitude in the beginning of our home search, but unfortunately his attention to us quickly dissipated and we felt ignored for several months. We re-​approached Saul to notify us if any units became available in a specific building and received no response, only to discover that there were multiple active listings. In the end we had to engage with another realtor for our home purchase. I would not recommend Saul to friends or colleagues.

On a whim, I stumbled into Keller Williams downtown location, where I met Mike Crowley, and let him know what I was hoping to find downtown. He immediately told me of a few places he could show me then and there, for what I had in mind. In addition to those places, we set up a future show-​and-​see, where he lined up more properties one after the other, and drove me to them…(remembering what I had to deal w/​back in NYC, where I am moving from, this was amazing!) Lofts, studios, 1bed, 2bed… such a fantastic thing to have someone do for you. AND NO BROKER’S FEES!!! –gasp–
I turned out to be a very fickle client, but every request I asked for, Mike went ahead and found. There were too many good options to choose from, but I am glad I had so many to consider! I really appreciated the honesty he expressed whenever I had concerns about a place, something that means a great deal to me.
I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Mike through Keller Williams RE. Mike is extremely friendly, was great about keeping me updated with every property he found, (he would email them to me promptly for me to look over before arriving), and he is a very likable fellow to work with, one I most definitely will refer to anyone moving to LA. He truly wants to make sure you find a place you would want to live in and love. Keller WIlliams knows how to get great people to help you find your future abode. Thank you Mike for all your help!

Awesome team, I highly recommend!

I found Saul Galvan through Craigslist when my husband and I were looking for a decent short term rental. I was immediately impressed that he returned my call within 5 minutes of my leaving a message on a Sunday no less! We had just sold our house and had not yet found a new home. Since we were actively looking to buy we did not want to commit to a long term lease. However, we were already being represented by a realtor, (relative member), so we could not commit to a working relationship with Saul because of possible conflict. Despite not being able to represent us, Saul was still very helpful and gave me a lot of good leads. In the few conversations I had with him I could not help but wish he was representing us. He understood exactly what we wanted and gave me the impression of being a tenacious representative. In this competitive buyers market, you really need an experienced agent who knows how to present the best deal. We lost out on a few good properties and I can’t help but wonder if we had had Saul’s expertise and tenacity if it might have turned out otherwise. If I am ever in the market to purchase again, I will definitely use him.

I’ve been searching on Craigslist like a maniac to find an apartment in Downtown LA. After 6 weeks of obsessing, I came across Saul Galvan’s website by chance. I found a few properties I was interested in and sent him an email. He responded quickly and was attentive to answer any questions I had.
After narrowing down the search, he showed me two properties in the area. He was very friendly, professional, easy to talk to and more importantly, was extremely helpful! He knows the area very well as well as the buildings that he showed me. He also knows a lot of agents so he never hesitated to offer cutting me a deal or throwing in a few perks.
I highly recommend Saul! He really knows the market and will be there for you if you need him!

One major pet peeve of mines is people who lie when they don’t have to lie. my fiancé and myself were interested in a condo presented by KW in downtown. some things we didnt like about it but for the most part we were interested and willing to negotiate price and terms. Saul L. Galvan the realtor stated that he would email our applications like within 5 mins. the next day rolls around and still no application. we then called them with an offer that he rejected which is ok. we are ok with the terms discussed previously and were willing to move forward. Saul then stated he wanted a full credit report and current paystubs for verification and to get the process going. still no application. we paid our money through 3^rd party to get our credit reports as well as our paycheck stubs for verification. we were told by Saul that he would get back to us with an answer by the end of the day. Again. still no application. By the end of the day and roughly 5 phone calls later 3 which seem to be ignored (my fiancé called him and got no answer. i call him 2 min later from my phone which he didnt know the # and wow i get an answer) he states that he is JUST NOW looking at our paperwork and he will call the owner he represents and calls us back in 30−45min. 1 hour rolls by and since we are heading to a dodger game we didnt want to take a call with a crowd behind us so again we are having to call him back. Saul then states he is on the phone with the owner and is now asking us AGAIN how soon can we move in? how many times do we have to say we HAVE to give notice but the sooner we know we have this place the sooner we give notice and the sooner we move in. he then states ok i am going to send you an email in a few min. i can only guess this email is the application we should have filled out 24 hours ago. long story short not only did we have to keep calling this unprofessional broker back but after complaining we were ultimately blamed for lack of communication and interest in the condo to begin with (LACK OF INTEREST??? we payed 70 bucks for our credit checks and took the time out of our days to give them this info as well as our paycheck stubs!). Both Saul L. Galvan and Kathy Neal are not to be trusted. ultimately we ended up applying at a different loft just down the street. with the exact same info given to Saul we were approved inside of 15min. so things actually worked out better for us in the long run. I will NEVER do business with these people again.
