Client Testimonial

"After relocating to LA from NYC and surveying the market on our own, we met David Berg to help with our home search. Couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. He's an effective and savvy advocate with a good understanding of where the pressure points are in the scope of a negotiation. He's a deal-maker and problem solver. Shortly after meeting, David identified a home that fit our needs – and because it was still under construction we had the ability to incorporate changes into the final deal. David's work didn't stop once we closed – he has gone above and beyond and has helped us in countless other ways as we settled into our new home. Class act all around. Highly recommend David and his team."
