I would like to share with you our experience with Rosemary Low.
My wife and I recently moved from New York City to Los Angeles and quickly decided we wanted to purchase a home. Neither of us had lived in Los Angeles before so had little or no idea about the best neighborhoods to search for a property or the cost of homes in a given area. We only knew what kind of home we sought and the price range we could afford.
We found a property on the internet in the Los Feliz neighborhood and promptly jumped in our car to visit the home. Rosemary was the agent for that property and was nice enough to not only show us that home, but proceeded to give us a two plus hour driving tour of the various neighborhoods in and around Los Feliz (including some of the wonderful exclusive pockets that only a real local would know). She did this without ever asking once if we would be interested in representing us. Incredibly classy.
The following day, my wife and I called her to ask if she could show us some more properties that met our criteria. She proceeded to ask us a few questions about what we were seeking and put together a comprehensive showing schedule (on VERY short notice) of roughly 8 properties ALL of which and exceeded our desires and needs. She was so spot on in terms of understanding our tastes as well as reconciling location, cost, and practical points like school district and “walkability” factors.
We ultimately made a bid on a property in Los Feliz that she handled with remarkable professionalism and integrity, guiding us through the arduous and sometimes seemingly impossible task of negotiation and mountains of paperwork. We didn’t win that property or the next one that she helped us bid on in Silverlake, but she did find us and help us secure our dream home in an incredible part of Studio City. After nearly 10 weeks of visiting dozens of properties and learning a truly awesome amount about the Los Angeles market as well as the local restaurants, nightlife, schools, and demographics, she worked through all the key aspects of getting us into a better home than we could have ever imagined.
At no point during the months she worked with us did she ever question our intentions, doubt our knowledge, or dispute our tactics. She was a sounding board, a calming force, and we now consider a great friend.
Being a business owner myself, I’ve mentioned to her many times that she raises the bar for any salesperson, never mind in an industry that so lacks this kind of commitment and talent.
I enthusiastically recommend Rosemary for any of your real estate needs.
