Rob Kallick – Take Sunset

Rob’s the BEST.
I’ve both bought a house and sold one with Rob’s help.
He has fantastic taste and an unerring sense of what each specific client wants. He never wastes your time. You really couldn’t ask for a better or more thoughtful guide through the process. It’s a treat to work with someone who loves what they do as much as Rob does. His enthusiasm for houses and architecture is contagious. Check out his website:
Sometimes choosing an agent can be as stressful as finding a home… the good news is that if you’re reading this review you’ve already found the agent you’re looking for.

i love Rob Kallick! Rob was recommended to me by a dear friend. He helped me find my very first home, then three years later, he helped me and my new husband sell it… for a lot more money!
Rob is so cool, calm, and is so great at walking you through the whole crazy process of buying/​selling a home.
SELLING: Rob was smart and knew the market/​neighborhood (glassell park) and was strategic on the listing price. Because we priced it «right», i had multiple offers and ended up getting a large chunk over asking. I saw time and time again, people listing their home «high» hoping to make as much as the neighbor down the street, but people aren’t as interesting in putting bids on a home that is priced above market value. I saw this firsthand!
Rob’s photographer, whoever she was, did an INCREDIBLE job with the photos, adding so much to the marketability of our home.
HIRE ROB TO BE YOUR AGENT! That is all :)

We have had quite the journey with Rob. It took us almost a year to find our home and he was with us every step of the way, up to Studio City, over to Silver Lake and back to Los Feliz. Rob was an excellent guide for a first-​time home buyer in LA. We truly appreciated his real estate expertise and how responsive he was with regards to all of our questions, even after the close of our home. Having his assistant Mary’s help during the closing process was priceless. We look forward to working with Rob in the future when the time is right to sell and buy again. We would recommend Rob for anyone looking to join the adventure of looking for a home in LA.

Rob is a a stand up guy who happens to be a very knowledgable and effective real estate agent. A rare find, indeed.
We own a number of properties, and have bought and sold throughout the years. When it came to selling a property in Silver Lake I had interviewed 5 or 6 other agents, including Rob. It became clear Rob knew the area incredibly well, had repeated success selling a range of properties, and didn’t come across as the typical agent. He also has a real passion for architecture.
We made a very fair and profitable sale. Better still, the stress was almost non-​existent. Yes, there were the expected bumps in the road during inspection, but Rob was never rattled and communicated quickly and clearly so we had the time and correct information to make an informed decision.
I highly recommend him and plan on doing business with Rob again in the future.

Rob is a fantastic agent! He helped us find our home before we were even living in Los Angeles. We relocated back to LA from San Francisco earlier this year and knew the neighborhoods we wanted to focus on, but had limited time on each trip down during which to look at properties. Rob organized our time easily and effectively and was even there to help with inspections when we couldn’t be. He understood what we were looking for and was patient and great in helping us find it. Rob is also super well-​connected in the real estate community. He made the process as painless as possible and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again!

Rob was very knowledgeable about the local market and provided invaluable insight. He is professional, smart, communicative and reliable. I definitely recommend him as an agent.

Rob is the Best… Hands Down He helped us find exactly what we were looking for… and did it super quickly. Really nice, super pro, and fun to be around.
Will definitely buy more homes with him

We knew Rob «from the internet» a bit before we started showing up at this open houses. It also didn’t hurt he was already a friend of friends, so we felt comfortable with him from the beginning.
As first time home-​buyers, we ramped up our search over the period of several years, and we started getting more serious and having him show up at the houses we were most interested in. This was during the Highland Park area boom, when we were competing against 30 other offers, houses going for $ 100k+ over asking, and with no appraisal contingencies.
Rob was great about understanding our style and what we were looking for. He helped us zero in on the mid-​century style houses we were after. When we were serious about a fixer-​upper, he helped us really think through what it would mean for us. He had us consider houses we normally wouldn’t to help broaden our search.
A couple days after we came back from Mexico and getting engaged, we found a house in Adams Hill we wanted to move on. Rob was there every step of the way, and had our best interests in mind. He had all the right contacts to help us hustle on inspections, and already had a good working relationship with the selling agent. He made himself readily available to us, and answered even our stupidest questions. He even let us bounce renovation ideas off of him, and gave some great tips based on his own home renovation experience.
Overall, I’d say Rob is a conscientious and trust-​worthy guy. He’ll understand your real estate needs, and has a great eye for homes and the Northeast Los Angeles neighborhoods. I’ve already recommended him to friends for their house hunt.

As first time home buyers my wife and I were nervous to get into the home-​buying game, but Rob put us at our ease quickly and patiently guided us through the process. From terrific, no-​pressure advice about where to look and which houses to pursue, to a terrific reference to a loan officer and inspectors, he was terrific. Even after the sale closed, he’s been available to help answer questions about contractors and repairs.
And everybody loves him! Every realtor we met at an open house had nothing but great things to say about Rob. I think it’s a huge help when it comes time to actually make and negotiate offers. He could get in there and advocate for us as more than just a number.
We love our new house. Could not recommend him any more highly. If you’re thinking of buying a house, talk to Rob!

As first time buyers, my wife and I had no clue what we were getting into when we decided it was time to give up the «glamorous» renters lifestyle. But thankfully, we found Rob. He walked us through the entire process and made sure we knew what was coming or what might be coming at every turn. And you NEED that.
He’s also well respected by other agents in the area. You can’t go to an open house without the listing agent complimenting him. And that is more important than you can possibly realize for when you finally find a place and it’s time to negotiate.

We met Rob candidly through our friend who was working with him to buy her home. We had only seen a couple of properties at that point but were ready to take the dive. We had a small budget to work with and knew that would be a challenging factor in a market that is currently driven by lots of multiple bids and high cash offers. An agent we had approached before had actually told us our budget probably wouldn’t get us very far and we should just be prepared to be disappointed a lot. When we met Rob, we asked him if we could work with him as well and he said, «Sure, I’d love to work with you guys.» No drama or speeches. No pre-​requisites. I am so happy we met him.
The whole process of buying a home these days is so daunting; it felt almost unattainable. However, Rob put us at ease and was so patient and professional from start to finish.
He has a low key and easy-​going temperament, yet is extremely passionate and knowledgable about his work. He truly loves what he does! I felt this was a great combination, because we needed someone to guide us, yet we also required the freedom and space to make the right decisions for our family. I think with our budget, a lot of agents would have spent less time on our situation, but Rob was always available to us and easy to communicate with.
We finally closed on a house only 3 months after we started even looking. I didn’t think that would be possible!
Quality agent. Great guy. Has really good taste too!

Rob came highly recommended to us by friends who had worked with him in the past. We were clueless first time buyers and Rob was patient with us at every step. He took the time to understand our taste and preferences and became a trusted voice in figuring out which properties were right for us. He was honest and never pushed anything. Once we found a house we liked, he helped us get our bid accepted and painlessly led us through the inspections, negotiation and closing. Even the selling agent told us how impressed she was by Rob’s attention to detail! Beyond real estate, Rob knows a lot about owning a home and was able to answer many of our questions. Even after we moved in, he continued to help and recommended great people to work on various projects for our house. We enthusiastically recommend Rob!

Rob is easy going, professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to finding a property that will fit what you are looking for. He’s passionate about his work and provides a sense of ease with what
can be a very stressful experience.

Rob is an amazing real estate agent! He helped us find the perfect place. I can’t recommend him enough!

For anyone interested in buying or selling in the Silverlake area there’s no one better to work with than Rob.
My wife and I found Rob through his website. We were impressed with his digital marketing strategy. When we met him we were convinced that he was the right choice. He had the right level of insight, charisma, calm and smarts and was collaborative and attentive to our needs from the start.
It took us two years to find a new home and sell our old house, but it was worth it. Rob helped guide us along the way. Whenever we had a question or a concern he was able to help us understand the best way to move forward.
His pricing strategy for our sale was perfect. We had numerous above asking offers and ended up selling for a number that still makes me smile.
Rob deserves the praise he gets here on Unilocal and in other reviews because he’s that good.

patient, knowledgeable, and understood exactly what we were looking for. There were times where we were going to settle on a house that wasn’t ideal (we are very impatient people) and he advised us to be patient and that he would find the perfect one. Sure enough he did, and we’re so happy with the home!

My wife and I first found Rob through his amazing website Take Sunset because he has incredible taste in architecture. We were first time home buyers and had a lot of hesitation about buying a home, where to buy, and what was the right time to buy. Because of that, Rob ended up working with us and showing us home after home for almost a year and a half! Rob was really patient with us throughout the process until we finally closed on our first home this month.
Rob is not only easy going like the other commenters have said, but what I really appreciated was his helpful advice during negotiations. Especially during this hot bidding war housing market, you need an agent that knows how to get the deal done so you can be the bid picked to get the house. Rob was always full of creative ideas on how to structure the offers and what ways we could sweeten the deal for sellers. Something that I also really appreciated about Rob was that he is well-​known and well-​liked by all the other agents in the area — that is more important than you think. When it comes down to two potential buyers with similar financial offers, sellers are going to choose someone they’ve dealt with before. Rob was able to get us the house we wanted, even though there were other offers, because he already had a relationship with the sellers.

Rob was a complete and consummate professional during our home buying experience in Los Angeles. He was very focused on all of the details, had the right go to people for inspections etc., coached us on the best way to win the house, and most importantly was calm and collected through out the entire process. Many have said it but I will say it again you usually don’t get the opportunity to work with someone so likable during the real estate process. Given our past experience we were pleasantly surprised.
We would use him again in a heartbeat.

Rob could not have done a better job in helping me to purchase my first home. He is smart, laid back and was always extremely nice and patient with the numerous questions I threw his way during the entire process. In short, I feel lucky to have found such a great, classy realtor.
It took me a few months to find the right house. During this period Rob showed me multiple listings and was always honest with me when I’d ask for his take on the properties. When I finally found the right house, Rob helped to set up all of the inspections and made buying the house as simple and painless as possible.
If you’re looking for a fun, knowledgable, and trustworthy realtor in Los Angeles, don’t hesitate to give Rob a call.

When I decided to list my house in Los Feliz, I began by searching the web to see what broker activity and marketing was taking place in my neighborhood. In the process, I came across
and was immediately impressed by his marketing approach.
Listing with Rob was easy and low pressure and ultimately we sold the house at full asking price at the top of his suggested range in a few days. He was particularly sensitive to our specific showing requests (no public open houses, no weekend showings etc.) and worked with us to balance our privacy needs with his marketing efforts.
After the sale, he helped me negotiate the purchase of another property in the area and the results were again low drama and painless. He also put me in touch with a lender who also helped make the process stress free.
In a world of real estate dabblers, Rob is the consummate professional — he’s smart, responsive, well informed and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in Los Angeles.
