After two failed attempts to sell my home, I was skeptical about what any real estate agent could do differently. I had already been on the market for months with no success, so when I called Tregg Rustad, I wasn’t expecting much. But that phone call turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From the moment Tregg walked through the door, I knew he was a true professional. Within minutes, he identified several key factors that had been holding back my sale—things no one else had even mentioned. The very next day, we created a strategy to address these issues, and with Tregg's expert guidance and support, we corrected them quickly. His approach to marketing was nothing short of amazing, with stunning photography and targeted advertising that truly made my home shine.

I had already been on the market for months with no success, so when I called Tregg Rustad, I wasn’t expecting much. But that phone call turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From the moment Tregg walked through the door, I knew he was a true professional. Within minutes, he identified several key factors that had been holding back my sale—things no one else had even mentioned. The very next day, we created a strategy to address these issues, and with Tregg's expert guidance and support, we corrected them quickly. His approach to marketing was nothing short of amazing, with stunning photography and targeted advertising that truly made my home shine. Despite having been on the market for months with little traction and no success, once we relisted with Tregg, over 150 buyers toured my home in just the first few days. We received multiple offers, and, to my surprise, Tregg negotiated a sale price far beyond what I had dreamed of. But his incredible service didn’t stop there. He also secured a strong backup offer and, when inspection-related issues arose, he calmly explained all my options and negotiated another outstanding outcome that allowed us to close escrow smoothly and quickly. In just a matter of weeks—yes, weeks—Tregg did what two previous agents couldn’t accomplish in months. Not only did my home sell, but it sold for a price well above my list price and expectations. Tregg’s calm demeanor, expert advice, and unmatched negotiation skills set him apart. He’s incredibly honest and truly goes above and beyond to provide a level of service I’ve never experienced before. Even after closing, he’s continued to offer me invaluable advice and support. If you’re looking for a realtor who will get results, I can’t recommend Tregg Rustad highly enough. You won’t be disappointed. I know I’m richer for making that call—both financially and in peace of mind.
"We have led a real estate investment group for the past 30 years that has done very well. We have hired Tregg to sell one of our assets and simply put Tregg is the best Broker we have dealt with during that time. He has a very rare combination of integrity, top quality excellence in all aspects of selling real estate, low key natural personal skills and virtual immediacy in his response time to requests. He comes equipped with a group of referrals that made our details effortless and saved a lot of valuable time for everyone. I couldn’t possibly refer him with greater confidence. You indeed will be well taken care no matter your real estate needs."
"Very knowledgeable not just in general real estate issues but in the local market as well. I truly believe that my listing would not have sold if it was not for Tregg. He guided me through every step, and when we had issues with the process he stepped in and resolved them expeditiously (which I would not have been able to do on my own, neither did I have the time to if I knew how). He was extremely responsive throughout the entire process and kept me updated. I would use his services again without any hesitation and would strongly recommend him if any of my friends or family asked me for a referral in the area."
“Tregg is an outstanding Realtor who I would recommend to anyone. He is patient, knowledgeable, composed and really does a great job at removing any stress he can from an inherently stressful situation. He is such a steady handed, even keel and caring Realtor, I cannot overstate what a pleasure it is to work with him. I've been buying and selling real estate on both coasts for now for nearly 15 years and I truly am impressed with his approachable professionalism and would recommend him to anyone.”
Buying a new home is a major life event! My partner and I could not be happier with the experience of working with Tregg Rustad to purchase a home. Throughout the entire journey, Tregg had exceptional professionalism, patience, and expertise, guiding us from our initial search, property viewings, and ultimately closing on a home we truly adore. Before partnering with Tregg, we were looking at listings all over the place (from West Adams to Woodland Hills!). Tregg listened carefully to our preferences, and then pinpointed neighborhoods that met our family's needs. He was always available to answer our questions throughout a sometimes stressful and complex process and was very calm in his approach. We trusted his expertise: Tregg is very well connected with people in all aspects of real estate in LA - from brokers, to inspectors, and specialists. Furthermore, he has a great team - notably…

We trusted Tregg completely with crafting our offer, negotiating our purchase, and guiding us through the inspection process on our new home. He is extremely detail-oriented and ensured we understood every scenario and solution at each stage in the journey. In addition to being a true professional, Tregg is genuinely kind and personable. We are so grateful that we had his support with navigating our recent home purchase! Without hesitation, Tregg Rustad has our highest recommendation for anyone looking to buy or sell property in the LA area.
“We weren’t seriously looking, but then we saw the perfect Spanish style house with a large, landscaped yard and a pool on a great street. There were numerous offers, the competition was challenging, but we succeeded and soon the house was ours! During the process we got to know Tregg Rustad, the realtor who represented the sellers. We were so impressed with his professionalism, responsiveness and knowledge that we asked him to be our realtor to sell our home of 32 years, We couldn’t have been more satisfied. The winter holidays were fast approaching, and we knew if we didn’t act quickly we might not be able to sell until the Spring. We were anxious, but Tregg got busy while always remaining thoughtful and patient. Tregg clearly explained every step to us, provided all the information we needed and helped guide our choices throughout the process. Within a week after we moved out, he had…

We were anxious, but Tregg got busy while always remaining thoughtful and patient. Tregg clearly explained every step to us, provided all the information we needed and helped guide our choices throughout the process. Within a week after we moved out, he had our house professionally deep cleaned, beautifully staged, listed on the MLS, and a very well-attended open house was held. Tregg paid attention to detail and was extremely hands on. When he noticed water stains on a set of drapes, he took them down and brought them to the dry cleaner himself. He clearly understood the local market and was a skillful negotiator. A week after the open house we had four good offers over the asking price. Tregg adeptly handled the various inspections and remained remarkably calm and reassuring throughout the process. Thanks to Tregg we didn’t have to cancel a trip to Spain that was scheduled long before we ever dreamed of buying a new home and selling ours. When escrow closed slightly more than a month after we listed our house, we were happily vacationing with friends in Barcelona. It's months later and Tregg continues to be helpful and available to provide information, answer questions, and provide referrals. If you are buying or selling a house in the Los Angeles area, we recommend Tregg Rustad without reservation.”
We are really pleased with the job Peter Maurice and his team did for us while selling our home. Peter answered all of our questions and concerns and gave great advice about pricing and how to show off our home's potential. The whole team handled all of the details—signatures, documents, communication with the buyer's realtor, showings, photography, staging recommendations, etc. with a lot of attention to detail, but also with the confidence that comes from having done this successfully a zillion times. We were done quickly and without a hitch. Would definitely recommend.
Due to unexpected circumstances, my sister had to leave the house she loved and had lived in for over 25 years. A fall had left her physically unable to continue to manage her home, not to mention all the details of selling it, so I volunteered to help her. Our first step was to find an agent. On the recommendation of close friends we interviewed Tregg and Peter. On first meeting my sister and I were so impressed that we knew right away these were people we could work with. We weren’t wrong. From that initial interview to closing we felt totally taken care of. They helped us every step of the way to understand the selling process, kept us up on fluctuations in the market and advised us on the best time to list the house, as well as guiding us through prepping and staging the house for showing.

When we accepted a higher than expected bid, Tregg walked us through the inspections, contingencies, escrow, and closing with endless patience and handholding. We will always be grateful to Tregg, Peter and the team for all their professionalism and expertise, making a difficult transition run so smoothly.
Great experience with Peter on multiple facets - buying, renting, and selling. Peter helped us buy our home, and then subsequently rented it to a long term tenant, and finally sold it. He is a trusted advisor and an advocate for his clients. Very thoughtful and patient. Good negotiator. Creative on the contract and structuring side. He helps get problems fixed and happy to think creatively with his clients. Very prompt and professional. Would strongly recommend to anyone.
We're so fortunate to have found Tregg Rustad to help us with purchasing a second home, a Westwood condo. Tregg Rustad was extremely helpful throughout the entire process of buying a condo, from finding the right unit to closing the deal. While touring units, Tregg was thorough and was able to identify areas that would need work and made helpful suggestions on how to best proceed. He's well connected with people in real estate, and can recommend competent people from inspectors, handyman, to painters, electricians, etc. He's also a superb negotiator and meticulous with details; we trust him implicitly to represent us and he did all the negotiations with the seller. We were not able to do the closing walk-thru due to not being in the area at the time, and Tregg inspected the unit for us, and everything went smoothly. We have complete confidence and trust in him.

In addition, he's very personable, easy to work with, and responsive. Very, very pleased with his help in securing an excellent unit at an excellent price. Tregg has our highest recommendation to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Los Angeles area.
We asked Tregg Rustad to help us sell our condo. We never expected the sale go through this quickly, smoothly, and stress free - especially in this unstable market! We braced ourselves for a long ordeal, but received a full price offer just a few days after the condo went on the market, and then closed the transaction within a month. All credit goes to Tregg, our tremendously knowledgeable real estate agent! He priced the property insightfully and effectively negotiated with the buyer’s agent. He patiently guided us through each step of the process, was very responsive to our questions, and provided solutions to our needs. Tregg is very honest and dependable, we would recommend him to anyone. We also want to thank his team members David and Jonathan for all their help as well. We are so grateful!
I would like to offer my enthusiastic recommendation of the team of Maurice & Rustad to everyone looking for real estate representation. As the owner of personal and investment residential real estate, I find these two gentlemen indispensable allies in my transactions and have yet to find their equal when working with real estate professionals out-of-state. Peter’s and Tregg’s substantial experiences in the field are reflected in their fluency in real estate procedures, market trends, contract strategies, and the “nuts and bolts” of the deal that always seem so foreign to me. I feel, however, their greatest strength lies in combining that detailed knowledge with an intuitive feel for human behavior and the subtle art of successful negotiation. Simply put, they have the best instincts in town! Over the course of our association, Peter and Tregg have guided me through two very challenging …

Peter’s and Tregg’s substantial experiences in the field are reflected in their fluency in real estate procedures, market trends, contract strategies, and the “nuts and bolts” of the deal that always seem so foreign to me. I feel, however, their greatest strength lies in combining that detailed knowledge with an intuitive feel for human behavior and the subtle art of successful negotiation. Simply put, they have the best instincts in town! Over the course of our association, Peter and Tregg have guided me through two very challenging deals where I was on the “wrong” side in terms of power; the first was successfully purchasing a home in a seller’s market where we were one of 14 offers on the house, the second successfully closing the sale of income property in a buyer’s market complicated by the 2008 housing meltdown. In that case, for-sale properties were languishing all over town, but Peter’s and Tregg’s savvy assessment of the situation and smart course of action was responsible for garnering five offers within a week of listing. They studiously advised me throughout a difficult escrow that repeatedly threatened to fall apart, and ultimately achieved a purchase price in line with my initial expectations. I couldn’t have kept that escrow on track without them. I’m looking forward to the next occasion when I can be represented by Peter Maurice and Tregg Rustad, and encourage you to take advantage of this talented team as well.
Dream Team! Purchasing a home can be stressful. Peter and the team at Maurice & Rustad were a dream team. From the moment we had our first conversation with Peter, he and his team utilized their extensive knowledge of the market to help us narrow options. Their sense of urgency enabled us to identify the ideal property and Peter's expertise in the market helped us negotiate a fair price in spite of daunting seller challenges. Peter was data-based, principled, knowledgeable, and solution-oriented while always ensuring we were on the same page. The professionalism didn't stop once the deal was done. His A-Team ensured we were supported after the sale. We've bought a number of properties over the last 20 years but Peter and the team at Maurice & Rustad have been the best! Highly recommended.
We loved our house. It was the first we’d bought but after 20 years and some changing circumstances it was time to sell. But we knew little of the process other than vague rumors of unscrupulous characters and horror stories of deals gone very bad. And so we nervously set out interviewing agents to find someone with whom we’d feel confidence. We met with, and liked to varying degrees, other agents but as soon as Peter and Tregg left after meeting at our house, we looked at each other and said, “Those are the guys.” And never once afterward did we regret that decision. Their advice on preparing the house to show was spot-on. Their communication at every step was flawless. Their insight into the market was perfect. Their patience with our questions was endless. Their team—from office support to photography—was top-notch and a pleasure to work with. And I think the most important thing is t…

Their team—from office support to photography—was top-notch and a pleasure to work with. And I think the most important thing is that on those occasions when we’d get nervous, when something was taking longer than anticipated, when we were watching the craziness of the market and interest rates and neighborhood comp sales and all that, their calmness, confidence, and assurances were exactly what we needed. In the end, we sold our house for well above what we’d anticipated going in, and the whole process of inspections, contingencies, escrow, and closing could not have gone smoother. It was difficult to leave our house, but we could not be happier with how it all worked out and about our decision to hire Tregg and Peter. As we said after that first meeting, “Those are the guys."
We were very impressed with Tregg Rustad and Peter Maurice. They were so helpful in giving us guidance through the process of getting our house ready to sell. When it came time to put the house on the market, their expertise and knowledge of the market really showed through. Selling a house during a pandemic had a whole different set of issues and they handled it professionally and smoothly. Tregg’s calm demeanor was very comforting during this unusual time to sell a house. His negotiating skills helped us close the sale and were greatly appreciated. We could tell that he really cared about doing the best job possible and that he really enjoys his work. They work with a great team and everyone answered all our questions and took the time to explain each step of the whole process.

We have bought one home and sold two homes with Peter and Tregg, and all three experiences have been outstanding. They make a great team and bring extensive knowledge and strategic expertise. On top of that, they are extremely responsive, impeccably diligent and they work with an amazing team who can turn around a property from unfurnished to beautifully staged and ready to sell in no time. I definitely recommend working with them!
Thank you so very much for your wonderful work in both selling our home and helping us with the purchase of our new home. Throughout the entire process of buying and selling these houses, we felt that we were in good hands - that you kept our best interests at heart and provided excellent advice at all stages. There are several aspects of our experience that made us want to write this letter, so allow us to list a few. First of all, when we initially spoke with you we were looking for another Realtor® as our current Realtor® wasn't providing the level of assistance that we expected and needed. We were frustrated and felt like we might not find a suitable new home once we sold our house, and with a newborn, we did not want to be forced to rent. Then we were referred to you by a friend. You eliminated our concerns by finding us home before selling our first house. When we made a very last-…

We were frustrated and felt like we might not find a suitable new home once we sold our house, and with a newborn, we did not want to be forced to rent. Then we were referred to you by a friend. You eliminated our concerns by finding us home before selling our first house. When we made a very last-minute decision to bid on it, we truly knew that you both were the ultimate professionals as you provided advice and assistance while traveling for a family emergency. Buying before selling did make us nervous, but we felt as comfortable as one can in that situation because we knew that you would sell our house and sell it quickly. And you did - in only 3 days! While the escrow process in purchasing our new home was anything but easy, you both helped mediate all difficulties with ease and immediacy. Further, without being asked to do so you negotiated a partial refund of the escrow fee for us given that there had been so many errors made on the part of the seller's escrow company. Even after both real estate deals were completed and we had fully moved into our new home, you called to ensure that we were happy and to find out if we needed assistance with anything else. What fabulous service! Without hesitation, we would highly recommend you to our friends and family, and will certainly call on your services when we buy or sell in the future!
We are very grateful for the opportunity to work with Tregg and Peter on the sale of our home. We got to know Tregg a few years ago through his and Peter’s sponsorship of our neighborhood school fundraisers. His kind and calm demeanor were so refreshing and when we considered selling our home in Sunset Park, we knew Tregg would be our first call. Upon our initial meeting with Tregg and Peter, we were immediately impressed with their appreciation for details, professionalism, and market acumen. They were incredibly thoughtful and thorough in explaining the selling process and detailed on what their team would do to help increase awareness for our home.

During escrow, Tregg and Peter never missed a beat. They were always one step ahead and effortlessly handled any sticking points and negotiations, with our best interests at the center. We couldn’t be happier with their level of professionalism and expertise. With their guidance and experience, the sale of our home set new records for Sunset Park—a plus for us, and the neighborhood! We enthusiastically recommend Tregg and Peter for any real estate needs. They’re one of the most honest, patient, and considerate real estate agents we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with.
Dear Peter and Tregg, I wanted to drop you a note and tell you how pleased we are with the outcome of the sale of our home at Wilshire House. As you know, between Louise and me, we have sold more than a few homes over the years and have dealt with many people in real estate ... we came back to you for this sale (and our new purchase) as the result of the positive experience we had in our first transaction. I'm very happy to say that you handled the sale with a level of confidence and dexterity that allowed us to yield the transaction and its details to you. When you were able to push the price to a level beyond what we had expected (and well above what we told you we would accept just days before) we were surprised and delighted. We feel you were really on our side since we know you could have taken the easy route and not fought for such a high sales price. It would seem, Peter, your yea…

It would seem, Peter, your years fighting for your clients when you were a lawyer really do pay off! You timed it beautifully and we wanted to say thank you for that. We've finished the work on the new house and it is beautiful! You found us a winner and we love the size and privacy. And thanks very much for helping us out with the warranty company on the water heater issue - we do appreciate your continued follow-up and involvement.
It is a pleasure to report our complete satisfaction in our association with Tregg Rustad and Peter Maurice for the sale of our home. Their quiet professionalism and steady support through all stages of the process were deeply appreciated, as was the good work of their team. Almost as important, we have not only enjoyed working with them, we have liked knowing them. We were flattered by their response to our home on first viewing, and were impressed by their tact and taste in suggesting ways its presentation might be improved for showing. Their suggestion for pricing was perfect and resulted in three substantial offers within the first week. Tregg’s attention to detail and personable style were put to the test with an outstanding permit on our 30 year old remodel.

Tregg’s attention to detail and personable style were put to the test with an outstanding permit on our 30 year old remodel. In order to close escrow, he helped us navigate the Santa Monica Building Department with a successful outcome. His guidance was vital. During this time, without being asked to do so, he remained in regular contact with our Realtor® in northern Ca.,where we were in contract negotiations to purchase another home. We are grateful for having chosen this incredible team and Rodeo Realty.
Peter and his team are the best in the industry. He navigated us through our first home buying experience with ease and a wealth of knowledge that is rarely found. He executed every aspect of the transaction seamlessly and I truly feel we couldn't have been in better hands. We will use him for all our real estate needs and would recommend him whether you are looking to buy or sell. Thank you, Peter.
We were extremely fortunate to have chosen Tregg Rustad as our agent for the sale of our Westwood condominium. His professionalism, dedication, skill, and responsiveness placed him, leagues, ahead of any other real estate agent we had worked within the past. When unexpected problems arose, as they often do during a real estate transaction, he remained calm, reassuring, and ready to deal with any challenge. He went above and beyond the call of duty every single time, remarkably so, even during this difficult time of the pandemic. Mostly, though, we would like to stress his impeccable ethics, honesty, and good common sense throughout the negotiations and sale transactions. He ended up representing both us, the sellers, as well as the buyers and, despite our initial worries about such an arrangement, found it to be a great plus in the end.

Peter Maurice helped us sell our house. We couldn't have been happier. He did a great job of marketing the house, kept the escrow process moving, communicated effectively, and got us exactly the type of return we were hoping for. As a former lawyer, Peter is a strong negotiator. He also understands the market. My wife and I can't recommend him highly enough.
I found Tregg Rustad online and after reading his many positive reviews and seeing that he recently sold similar properties in Westwood, I knew that he would be the right agent to use. Tregg is an excellent selling agent. He is responsive and very knowledgeable about the westside and the current market conditions. Everything went smoothly and we closed on time and also sold for over the listing price. I highly recommend Tregg Rustad to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy agent to sell their home.
It’s rare these days to be able to write a letter of praise rather than of complaint. I’m writing to let you know how impressed we were after working with Tregg Rustad. After we decided to buy a duplex, we felt that Tregg would be the perfect person to have as our agent. We knew he was smart, practical, and, very importantly, unflappable. During the production, he was always the one with the coolest head. We felt this quality would be important in our dealings. We were right. Over the years I’ve been involved in several dozen real estate transactions. I have never had an agent who was as responsive, as understanding, and as calming as Tregg. I’m convinced that our deal might have gone south with another agent. He held things together and saw us through each and every problem. And now, a month after escrow has closed, he is still helping us clean up some odds and ends. Do what you must to…

I needed to sell my condominium. I hired Peter and Tregg to be my agents. That was literally one of the best decisions I ever made. They came highly recommended and I can see why. These guys are the consummate professionals. They made the entire process so easy. They were totally accessible and were there for me every step of the way. They gave me great advice when it came to small things that I could do to make my place look much nicer. Any time I needed to ask them a question, I never had a problem reaching them. Whenever I texted them or emailed them, they would respond immediately. I ended up with multiple offers on my condominium and ended up selling it well above the listing price. When it came to knowing how to handle the multiple offers and the negotiations, Tregg and Peter were masterful. When you have multiple offers, it's hard to know which offer to accept. In a situation like…

When it came to knowing how to handle the multiple offers and the negotiations, Tregg and Peter were masterful. When you have multiple offers, it's hard to know which offer to accept. In a situation like that, it is key to have experienced agents like Tregg and Peter. I had so much confidence in their expertise that I pretty much let them handle the negotiations and let them decide which offer to accept. They made the right call. The offer I accepted was rock solid. Escrow closed without a hitch. Selling a property is usually a very stressful thing. Peter and Tregg took all the stress out of it. When you have guys that smart and with that much experience, you know that you have nothing to worry about. It was great having that kind of peace of mind. I could not recommend them any more highly. Not only will they get you top dollar for your home but they will make the whole process a breeze. It was truly a pleasure working with Peter and Tregg.
Trust and integrity are the first words that come to mind regarding our representation by Peter and Tregg in the selling of our house in Santa Monica. Their expertise is priceless; we knew we were in the best hands possible and that they had our back. Peter and Tregg's ability to negotiate is beyond reproach and we always understood their reasoning. We were included in the decision-making process, but always saw the logic of their negotiations. If it were not for them, I'm sure we would not have had the success we had. Not to mention their professionalism and their beautiful presentation of the house, from printed materials to invaluable advice regarding staging. They are the whole package.
I cannot think of a better agent and person to have represented us in our transaction than Peter Maurice. We’ve gone through 3 different sales over the years, I cannot imagine any better advocate than Peter in a transaction. Peter, you are really a driving force and offer the best strategy in the business. You really think of everything – you are able to digest so much information and then solve the issues. I trust and appreciate your business judgment implicitly, and thank you for all your help and dedication to us over the years.
Thank you so much for your tremendous work on the sale of our home last month. I know we’ve told you this, but it bears putting in writing that your excellent advice allowed us to sell quickly and for top dollar. You knew the right price to generate an amazing level of interest, and your sales strategy is incomparable. When we rapidly entered the shocking multiple offer situation, after just days on the market, you deftly managed the eight potential buyers and their agents to get us the best possible deal with not just one but several amazing, solid backup offers at the same price. We never imagined that we’d end up with $106,000 over the asking price. Never. It’s also worth mentioning that thanks to you; our house never looked better than when it was on the market because of your staging advice. The articles you provided and the beautification/de-cluttering sessions were invaluable. We …

Finally, your experience, energy, and professionalism are truly unmatched. We always felt well-represented, protected, and taken care of during the sales, negotiation, inspection, and escrow process. Furthermore, you always anticipated and solved any potential problems, typically before they actually became problems, removing the stress from what can be a pretty stressful time. There is a reason we came back to you for this transaction after having worked with you before. We knew we’d get excellent advice and service, and we were not disappointed.
Like many first-time homeowners, I was pretty clueless when I started the process of buying a house. Not only did I need to educate myself, but I also needed to get my out-of-state father up to speed on the LA market. This was a real wildcard in the process: while I was so incredibly lucky to have my dad to help me with the down payment, he can be a little hard to deal with / think everyone is out to screw him in financial transactions. Let's just say he had a hard time wrapping his head around the price of real estate in the area, which didn't exactly make us the easiest of clients to work with. When I found my dream house, I honestly thought it was a lost cause given his point of reference. Enter Peter.

Let's just say he had a hard time wrapping his head around the price of real estate in the area, which didn't exactly make us the easiest of clients to work with. When I found my dream house, I honestly thought it was a lost cause given his point of reference. Enter Peter. Peter was beyond patient with both of us, spending hours on the phone with us, explaining the local market, how the home buying process is unique in LA vs. other areas in the country, and overall what to expect. We are the type of people who read every line in a contract, so it was invaluable having an ex-lawyer by our side to explain every clause. Given that our deal was much smaller than most of the transactions he's involved in, I kinda couldn't believe how much time he spent with us and how much he cared that we were comfortable moving forward. When multiple offers came in on the house (5! and 2 cash!), he not only expertly negotiated on our behalf, fully explaining to us all of our options, but he helped us keep our emotions in check and act rationally. He was never pushy but did everything he could to make sure we understood what it would take to win the house. Throughout the disclosure/appraisal/inspection process, Peter was super responsive and literally seemed to know everything under the sun about the house. This was super helpful during the inspections - again, I was clueless about what to look for, but Peter was there the entire time pointing things out to me, giving me advice and tips, and asking the inspectors pointed questions. We were equally impressed by the different contractors he recommended for inspections: they were all thorough, easy to understand, and super pro. Whenever there was a bump in the road - with the mortgage lenders, the appraisers, the sellers, etc. - Peter was a fierce advocate on my behalf. He was always ON IT, usually before I even knew there was an issue. As someone who hates conflict and is susceptible to caving under pressure - this was instrumental in making sure I got the best deal possible. Overall, we feel incredibly indebted to Peter and his team. We love our house so much and basically would have never gotten it if it wasn't for Peter's expertise and caring. He's No.1 in my book - I trust him more than I trust my hairdresser. (And that says a lot). While I can't imagine leaving this house right now, when the time comes, we'll most certainly work with Peter again.
We cannot recommend Tregg Rustad highly enough. He has all the qualities you would look for in a real estate agent. He is intelligent, responsive, patient, calm, knowledgeable, experienced, and easy to work with. We initially called Tregg because he was recommended to us by two friends he represented in the purchase of their respective homes. Both friends had nothing but great things to say about him. One friend noted that he advised her to get specific inspections during escrow based on the year the house was built and the area it was located in, which ultimately saved her money in repairs. The other friend found herself in a bidding war and Tregg advised her to offer less than she was willing to offer and she got the house. This all sounded good to us so we called Tregg and were not disappointed. When we met with Tregg we wanted to purchase a house in a particular neighborhood that was…

The other friend found herself in a bidding war and Tregg advised her to offer less than she was willing to offer and she got the house. This all sounded good to us so we called Tregg and were not disappointed. When we met with Tregg we wanted to purchase a house in a particular neighborhood that was out of our price range. He showed us the current market data in that neighborhood and explained that we could try to find something that would work but that it would be difficult given the prices. He also showed us a number of other good neighborhoods to consider. Ultimately, we decided to make an offer on a house in one of the other neighborhoods. It was a great house and Tregg had visited many homes with us in that particular neighborhood. However, when the time came to put the deposit down, we decided we really did not want to live in that neighborhood after all. My husband and I both called Tregg and he patiently talked to us at length about our issues with the area and ultimately advised us not to move forward if our hearts were not in it. Although Tregg had accompanied us to several houses in that area and taken the time to write an offer on our behalf, he gave no indication that he was bothered in the least and continued to help us search. Ultimately, we did find a house in the neighborhood we wanted and Tregg fought to get us the best price we could possibly get and to get credits for issues we discovered during the inspection period. He was very skilled at negotiating while maintaining a good relationship with the selling agent. In addition, he had a wealth of knowledge about what inspections to get and advised us to do inspections we might not otherwise have done. I asked him many questions during escrow about the house, permits, zoning, title, and the escrow process generally and found him to be very knowledgeable in all respects. He returned phone calls promptly and was on top of everything every step of the way. He made sure all parties (the sellers, the sellers’ agent, the escrow officer, the title officer, the inspectors, and the lender) were getting the job done in an efficient and timely manner. In addition, my husband referred Tregg to another party to represent that party in the sale of their family home and he was equally great as a listing agent. He sold the home quickly, efficiently, and at a great price. In summary, if you are looking to buy or sell a home, call Tregg!
My husband and I have worked with Peter since 2011. In that time we have successfully sold and acquired multiple properties in the Los Angeles area. In each transaction, Peter's commitment to the process has been nothing short of impressive. In our experience, Peter wants to make sure his clients are educated about the market and the steps of buying and selling property. This has been invaluable because it's helped us make decisions with confidence. We recently completed a 1031 exchange. Competition in the market made closing on an exchange property during our allotted time proved very challenging. We were in and out of multiple properties due to the competition. Peter's attention to our needs was outstanding. He helped us wade through the process until we found a property that fit our needs beautifully. Peter's attention to detail in a purchase process is also worth commenting upon. He …

We strongly recommend Peter Maurice. After 6 successful deals in 5 years, we can't imagine working with anyone else.
After buying and selling a few properties, I can say without a doubt that Tregg is by far the best Realtor® I have ever had the pleasure of working alongside. I have been represented by Tregg for both the purchase and sale of my home and I would recommend him absolutely and without reservation. He is thorough, detailed, knowledgeable, honest, professional, savvy, and very experienced. He has a thorough understanding of the processes of both selling and buying a home, and he personally manages all of the inspections, upgrades, paperwork, and escrow details himself. During the recent sale of my house, he worked side-by-side with a stager to help prepare my house for the market. Even though I was living in the property, and I thought it was show-ready, they swapped out furniture, redid landscaping, painted rooms, added doors – really a mini flip to position the house the best possible way. …

Even though I was living in the property, and I thought it was show-ready, they swapped out furniture, redid landscaping, painted rooms, added doors – really a mini flip to position the house the best possible way. The result was amazing. My photos turned out better than expected and during the first two open houses, he had over 250 visitors. 250!! Immediately after our first open house, we began to receive offers, one of which was beyond what I ever thought I would get for my house. I was ready to accept it. However, Tregg, as a true advocate, suggested we wait. I was shocked. Most agents would have suggested I accept the incredible offer we had. I listened to Tregg and let him do his thing. This resulted in more offers and a final sales price that was 13% over my list price and $50,000 more than the offer I was ready to accept only a few days before. Yet he wasn’t doing. During escrow, he managed the process so I never had to worry. He negotiated the buyer’s inspections with skill only a highly experienced agent could do, he continually updated me and always had MY best interest in mind. I’ve worked with a number of real estate agents in many different parts of the country and I can’t say enough about Tregg. He is truly the best I have worked with. I will undoubtedly be using him again when the need arises. The agent you hire can really make a difference. Hire Tregg.
Tregg was everything one might hope for in a partner through the sale of my previous home and the purchase of a new home as I downsized this year. His guidance to get my previous house ready for listing was spot on, and the vendors he helped bring in were all at the top of their game while still being reasonably priced. After making his recommended upgrades, we listed for $200k more than I had expected, and the final sales price was 6% over the list. As I scoured a very wide area of Los Angeles looking for my new home, Tregg was there at every turn, providing extensive neighborhood expertise no matter where I looked. He provided extremely helpful guidance as I got ready to make an offer on the home that I really wanted - resulting in the acceptance of my offer in a multiple offer situation - and continued to help me negotiate through an escrow period that involved several rounds of selle…

Tregg is patient, kind, steadfast, and incredibly diligent, all while being tough as nails on your behalf when he needs to be. I can't recommend Tregg or his team more highly!
Peter is the best real estate agent I've ever worked with. His knowledge of Los Angeles coupled with his background in law makes him the perfect agent. I will always take any advice from this expert on real estate. He has made all my LA real estate transactions and I would recommend him 100% and I'm not one to recommend very many people.
Tregg is a brilliant Realtor® who consistently delivers spectacular results. He has a powerful grasp of the market, understands real property and the myriad risks involved with transacting and owning property, and is an expert negotiator. Tregg always exceeds my expectations. I trust that he has my best interests in mind because he knows that his clients’ satisfaction is the most valuable asset of his business. Tregg is a real estate hall of Famer and an absolute joy to have on my team.
Peter and Tregg were terrific on all fronts in the sale of the 58-year-old home in which my siblings and I grew up, but what most distinguishes them in their field, as far as I’m concerned, is their complete integrity in every aspect of their work – including just as straightforward, uncolored advice before they got us the listing we were after. When I recommended them to family of mine, I felt they were doing me a big favor enabling me to introduce my relatives to a trusted resource.
We can't say enough good things about Tregg Rustad. My wife and I were pregnant with twins and we needed to sell our current residence and buy a new one quickly to fit all of the new arrivals. Tregg listened, provided guidance and expertise with both care and professionalism unmatched by any agent we have worked with before. He helped us expertly navigate the challenging Los Angeles marketplace, sold our existing house at top dollar in weeks, and helped lock down a great price on the new house, negotiating with the owners to the very end. Working with Tregg not only do you get quick responses, attention to detail, and knowledgeable perspectives, you also really feel like he is in your corner. We trust Tregg!
Tregg is an incredible agent from start to finish. Not only does he give excellent tips on preparing your house for sale but his astute knowledge of the market helps him price your home perfectly. Once in escrow, regardless if you are a seller or buyer, his expertise through the sale is fantastic. I have done many transactions with Tregg with great results! Look no further for your needs, Tregg is your guy!
Peter and Tregg and the team they have assembled have handled the selling of our Santa Monica home and the purchase negotiations for our new house with fantastic style and intelligence. They have so effectively embraced conventional and new marketing media with getting our message out to the correct group of potential buyers while we feel eliminating the idle tire-kickers. These guys were always available for our questions and clarification and kept our part of the two-way conversation. Getting involved with Peter and Tregg and Rodeo was our best real estate decision.
Tregg was extremely professional, courteous, and knows his stuff! I would definitely use Tregg and Peter again and fully recommend their services. We sold our home in Sunset Park and their team knows the market and area well and we had one open house and a few private showings. We were in escrow within 12 days!
Tregg and his associates were so great to work with and helpful – right from the first meeting. Very professional. I took all their suggestions about how to stage the condo and the photos that were taken looked great. They marketed my condo on all of the websites they promised. We had 2 open houses and 1 caravan open house, and then the condo was sold in one week! I chose them initially because of their CondosOnWilshire.com website, and I was not disappointed.
Peter is the best in the business and a pleasure to work with. He is incredibly organized and knowledgeable and made sure that we were fully informed of any issues/costs/benefits regarding the property and the steps and documentation required for each step of the way, from the bidding process up until closing. His level of professionalism and experience is irreplaceable and we were fortunate to have him in the lead.
Tregg and Peter have represented me on the sale of two homes. They are both professional, attentive, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. A definite recommendation if you are in the market to purchase or sell your home.
I have worked with Peter now on two properties. I can't imagine buying a property without his counsel. He is a buyer's rep and never loses sight of that. He convinced me to do multiple inspections in order to bring the price down. And those multiple inspections brought the price to a place where I could complete the transactions (I was tentative about spending the money for these inspections). He was available to me at all times during escrow and since escrow has closed (6 weeks), he has continued to be available to me for advice as to everything from contracting to working with tenants. I have referred multiple family members and friends to Peter and his team and all have been happy with his work. In my family alone, my parents, my sister and I have all purchased properties sold one family property using Peter and his team. In each transaction, Peter was accessible and professional. I'm…

We just celebrated our third successful deal represented by Tregg Rustad, and I can honestly say none of them would have had such positive outcomes – or perhaps closed AT ALL – without his guidance and expertise. Real estate transactions bring myriad strategic and emotional challenges, and Tregg has always stepped up to be whatever’s needed: deft negotiator, empathetic sounding board, enthusiastic cheerleader, calming voice of reason . . . and we’ve needed them all! Because these transactions blur the line between business and personal, your best advocate is a Realtor® who combines skill and experience with an open, caring heart. We are so fortunate to have Tregg on our side, and you’d better believe he’ll be our first call the next time we’re even thinking about buying or selling real estate!
Tregg and Peter, have been outstanding in the two deals we have done together. The team is responsive to your needs throughout and detail-oriented all the way through closing. For any future deals, I will certainly seek their services again.
After a failed previous attempt at selling my house, Peter was able to sell quickly and for a great price! His entire team is respectful and hard-working. If you are looking for real estate help, look no further. Peter is honest and trustworthy and made my second time around a night and day difference from my first attempt.
Tregg Rustad has been my Realtor® for 16 years and I have purchased and sold three homes with him. It wasn’t just a coincidence that I’ve worked with Tregg for all of these purchases and sellers exchanges. He is the consummate professional and is beyond engaged in the selling or purchasing of your home. Tregg is personable, intuitive, attentive, responsive and you always have the feeling you are his only client and the most important. Regardless of the size of the home you are selling or purchasing, Tregg treats you with the highest respect and treats everyone from the other party’s agent to business managers, to inspection personnel with patience, kindness and refers equally professional people to carry out these tasks. He is keen on the best times to sell, buys and how best to appeal to the other seller or buyer's needs to make the sale the best for his clients and all parties involved…

Extraordinarily principled and kind is a rare and treasured find in the Los Angeles Real Estate market and Tregg is truly a gift to work with if you are lucky enough to get to.
Dear Peter, You have no idea (or maybe you do) what a relief this is for me. It’s like exiting schizophrenia rehab with a clean bill of health. I must admit, however, that I will miss corresponding with you. You have a sensibility that is rarely encountered: comforting, and at the same time strongly rational. Let’s vow to keep in touch. With infinite gratitude.
I am always impressed by your attention to detail and the care you have for your clients. It’s clear that you care about what is best for them, whether or not the deal closes.
I have been represented by Tregg for both the purchase and sale of my home and I would recommend him absolutely and without reservation. He is thorough, detailed, knowledgeable, honest, professional, savvy, and reasonable. He has a thorough understanding of the processes of both selling and buying a home, and he personally attends to all of the inspections, upgrades, paperwork, escrow details himself. He is always available and extremely nice. I can’t say enough about him and again I will undoubtedly be using him again when the need arises.
Peter, thank you for your exceptional work on the sale of my home. Your superlative staging advice in getting my home ready was unique. Your devotion to detail, knowledge, dedication to the correct marketing and price plus a keen sense of all aspects of the process are unmatched. You allowed me to sell quickly with multiple offers and to ultimately sell for much higher than the asking price within a week of going on sale. This needed to happen since I had already bought another home in Nashville! You sold me this home 15 years ago with the same dedication. Your ability, creative insights, talents, expertise in crafting deals and dedication to your clients is unparalleled. You are truly an original! No one out there compares or comes close to the service you and your team provide.
I planned to sell my condo in Westwood, Los Angeles, CA. I had never sold a house before, so I met and interviewed 3 real estate agents/groups of agents who have experience selling in the Westwood area. Tregg Rustad and his group were the agents I selected after the interviews. This was because they were the most organized, got information to me early to review, had the best ideas for marketing my place, and also listened to my concerns about what I wanted done to show the place to the best advantage. While a lot of what real estate agents do is standard across the board, what stands out about this group is that they really tailor the process to best show your home. For example, they saw one of my pictures of a spectacular sunset from my roof deck, and not only used it along with their professional photographer’s photos, but also mentioned it in the listing. This type of attention to det…

In addition, they were there every step of the process, responding to emails, calls, or texts quickly, and explaining each step of the process or how to deal with any issues that arose during offers and then during escrow. I received a much higher price for my unit than I expected, which was a welcome surprise. These things, along with the fact that Tregg managed to make what is a very stressful experience much easier throughout the entire process, made this actually a fun and interesting experience.
An example of truly remarkable service occurred in one of our LA offices that moved me to write you in the hopes that others may be influenced by one agent’s focus on serving his customer. Our Beverly Hills East office received a $460,000 cashier’s check as a down payment on a $4.6 million foreclosure property with multiple offers. When the agent went to the office the check could not be located. Now we have clients at risk of missing an opportunity to purchase the home of their dreams and we were unable to locate nearly half a million dollars of their funds. Step in Peter Maurice, our associate. Peter acted in his client’s best interest, and went to work solving the problem. With the deadline looming, there was no time to place a stop payment and get a replacement check reissued, in fact the bank’s procedures require a 30 day waiting period before they would reissue a replacement check.…

Now we have clients at risk of missing an opportunity to purchase the home of their dreams and we were unable to locate nearly half a million dollars of their funds.

With the deadline looming, there was no time to place a stop payment and get a replacement check reissued, in fact the bank’s procedures require a 30 day waiting period before they would reissue a replacement check. To make matters worse, it was the day before the Thanksgiving holiday. Peter cleared his investment account and drew on his home equity line to enable him to deliver the cashier’s check to the bank. He won the bid for his clients and they have now closed on the property. The client’s bank provided a replacement check in Peter’s name and Peter has been made whole, and order has been restored! This brief outline does not do justice to the anxiety caused by this dilemma, nor the calm, cool and heroic response that Peter showed. Peter’s unflinching focus in providing truly remarkable service makes us all extremely proud, it is an honor to be associated with exceptional agents such as Peter.
Tregg Rustad is the epitome of a great real estate agent. After working with another agent for one year we looked long and hard for a new agent that was professional, smart, patient, honest, hard-working, a good negotiator, and most importantly– trustworthy. Tregg came highly recommended by a close friend of ours. After meeting with Tregg for the first time, we knew he was going to be the right agent for us. We were right, after a little over eight months we bought a home. We are having a housewarming party next week and Tregg was the first person on the guest list. Real estate agents make money if you buy or sell your home. They don’t make money showing you homes, doing research, calling agents, calling mortgage brokers, scheduling inspectors, etc. Nevertheless, Tregg did all of this and more. He never pressured us to buy. In fact, it was not rare for Tregg to talk us out of a place, be…
Tregg Rustad is the epitome of a great real estate agent. After working with another agent for one year we looked long and hard for a new agent that was professional, smart, patient, honest, hard-working, a good negotiator, and most importantly– trustworthy. Tregg came highly recommended by a close friend of ours. After meeting with Tregg for the first time, we knew he was going to be the right agent for us. We were right, after a little over eight months we bought a home. We are having a housewarming party next week and Tregg was the first person on the guest list. Real estate agents make money if you buy or sell your home. They don’t make money showing you homes, doing research, calling agents, calling mortgage brokers, scheduling inspectors, etc. Nevertheless, Tregg did all of this and more. He never pressured us to buy. In fact, it was not rare for Tregg to talk us out of a place, because he just didn’t think it was right for us. We were not easy clients! There were about six people involved in our decision to buy a home. Tregg spoke to all six people regularly, even when he was on vacation. Moreover, we were not the most decisive clients. We were in escrow on multiple homes which we backed out of before we finally settled on the right home. Once we finally found the right place, thanks to Tregg, our escrow period moved very smoothly. However, in the eleventh hour, there was a huge issue (which had nothing to do with Tregg). At this point, Tregg went from a great agent to an amazing agent. This “issue” demanded endless phone calls, letters, inspections, meetings, etc. to get the sale of the home to close on time (or at all for that matter). Tregg made the sale happen and he made it happen on time! We live in Southbay which is not even Tregg’s area of expertise (we originally planned on buying in West LA); nevertheless, we would never even think of using another agent when we sell our current home or buy our next home. In looking for homes for just about two years we met a lot of real estate agents. Many of them are totally unprofessional shady characters! Tregg is a breath of fresh air and truly fantastic at his job. And, he CARES about YOU and YOUR INTERESTS! Oh, by the way, he is a total closet contractor and interior decorator. Thus, if you want ideas about remodeling, furnishing, painting, etc. Tregg is your guy!
It was absolutely wonderful working with Tregg on the sale of my home. He and his entire team were consummate professionals. They were extremely responsive to any question or concerns and had endless patience with me, understanding that the sale was both exciting and difficult as I had lived in my home for many years. The entire process was seamless from start to finish. My house sold within the first week and managed to break a record for the area thanks to Tregg’s careful handling of the presentation and process. I can’t thank him enough, I highly recommend he and his team A+++! I would definitely work with them again on a purchase or sale in the future!
We loved Tregg as our Realtor®. He was not trying to push us into any houses or tell us to continue to move up our offer. Every time we put in an offer on a house he told us what he thought it would sell for and he was always right. One of the most important aspects of Tregg was his team of inspectors. If they had not been so thorough we would have purchased a house at the top of our budget with a massive mold problem. You can trust him and his team to work for you rather than working for his percentage.
Peter Maurice is a total pro. We vetted several agents in the process of selecting Peter, and couldn't be happier with our decision. His responsiveness was essentially perfect. There was literally not one time that we couldn't get in touch with him promptly - it's hard to overstate how valuable (and rare) this is. His personal touch was also extraordinary. When making decisions, Peter's ability to weave industry knowledge, neighborhood-specific data, and his own experience led to good recommendation after good recommendation. What all of this added up to was a very comfortable, confident, and ultimately successful home-selling experience.
Tregg and his team are true professionals! They helped to make what could have been a difficult time for our family goes smoothly, and timely. No surprises and he coached us through the entire process. I live across the country, Tregg and his team kept me in the loop, and up to date through the entire process. I’ve sold several properties, this was the first time I really felt my agent had my best interest in mind. Every step of the way, from his first presentation on comps and history, to walking us through the final closing. Thank You Tregg and team.
We contracted with Tregg to sell our condo unit in Westwood. He and Rodeo Realty did great work marketing our unit through their established network and real estate channels. At the open house, our unit received a strong offer and proceeded from there to be sold. At our asking price! Tregg is very good and very capable at his work. Easy and pleasant to work with and on top of things throughout the process. A true professional! We definitely recommend him to anyone selling or buying real estate property!
My wife and I left our initial interview with Tregg impressed by his confidence, knowledge, and attention to detail, but it wasn’t until we got into the actual process of selling our condo that we realized what a tremendous choice we had made. His intelligence, savvy, experience, confidence, and sophistication all came into play throughout our selling experience. For every question or situation that arose Tregg always presented us with multiple solutions from which we could decide. On top of that Tregg would, upon our request, always communicate which solution he felt would best suit our needs, and for every situation, we ended up following through on Tregg’s advice. His advice was 100% correct each and every time, and it is impossible to overestimate how much potential stress this averted.

My husband and I have bought and sold more than a dozen homes and had the good fortune to use Peter Maurice on four of our deals. He is so much better than any of the other real estate professionals we've worked with. For starters, he's a terrific writer and passionate about the story behind each property he handles, so he is able to exquisitely describe and market your home. He and his team are consummate professionals in handling each step of the process. While Peter has never made us feel pressured to be rushed or to accept or make an offer, he is a killer deal maker and has consistently gotten us the best price on both the sales and purchase ends of deals. He is the best of the best, and a terrific person to boot.
I highly highly recommend Tregg and his team! As a first-time buyer, Tregg helped me find my perfect home - from start to finish, the entire process was seamless. His knowledge of the market, experience and care he puts into his work and for his clients is so appreciated. He goes absolutely above and beyond and his attention to detail is unmatched. Tregg made sure to keep me in the loop and explain anything I did not understand. I could not be more grateful for Tregg's help every step of the way and he made sure to continue pushing for me even though the final closing. Tregg is a true professional!
Tregg was known on my mother’s block as “the” real estate agent to work within sunset park. When our mother passed away, I met with Tregg and an agent from another company. They both seemed like good guys, but Tregg’s track record of sales in our area was huge. In addition, his marketing platforms included print, digital, social media, and international exposure. We listed with Tregg and began a journey with him guiding me and my brothers on all aspects of preparing the property, when to put the house on the market, and how to navigate the multiple offers that arrived shortly thereafter. As a security broker, I have been in customer services for decades and I can truly say that Tregg’s level of service and attention to detail are truly at a higher level than I have ever seen before, including my own! Many times throughout the process, we had a very long and detailed discussions about the…

Many times throughout the process, we had a very long and detailed discussions about the home. Being afraid of forgetting something important, I asked Tregg to send an email to me and my brothers memorializing the details. Again, I was blown away at his level of service. Tregg’s sales record is very impressive and easy to confirm. Lastly, I would like to say that Tregg, aside from being a professional in his field, is genuinely just a nice guy and a pleasure to work with. Oh yeah, as a result of multiple offers the house sold for significantly more than the listing price.
Tregg was an absolutely fantastic agent. Even though we were not his only clients, he made us feel like we were. He always made himself available to explain, strategize, and guide during the complicated ins and outs of the purchase process. We ended up with a home we love, and Tregg had a huge part in making that dream come true. There are not enough thanks I can give to him for representing us as buyers. We were first-time buyers starting from zero and Tregg and his team helped us get our dream home! Highly, highly recommended.
Tregg and Peter are the best! They listed and sold my great aunt's Santa Monica duplex during the age of COVID and adeptly navigated through numerous unforeseen complications including tenant, property access, easement, and condition issues. They were always quick to suggest helpful, out-of-the-box solutions for each issue that arose; all of which kept us calm and hopeful during a difficult time. In the end, they used their wealth of knowledge of the Santa Monica market as well as their professionalism and negotiating skills to get our deal closed when all the odds were against us. They both are poised, bright, and resilient and it was those qualities that moved us toward what we thought would be impossible - guiding escrow to close at a price we were thrilled to receive.
Tregg is excellent. He was able to secure us a place when our bid was up against several all-cash offers, and his recommendations and support after the sale continue to make us feel comfortable and secure. As first-time home buyers, my husband and I not only felt comfortable in the process from start to finish, but we enjoyed ourselves. Tregg is personable, detail-oriented, and an expert with impeccable integrity. Not only is Tregg exceptional, but his entire team, from inspectors to financing, is top-notch. We continue to feel more excited by our condo and its features the more we live in it, and we have Tregg and his knowledge of the field to thank for securing it for us. We’re tempted to become house flippers just to work with Tregg again.
Peter, Tregg & David absorbed all of the potentials for stress and left us feeling completely supported, well-informed, and very happy with the whole process and outcome of the sale of our house. Not only did they provide expert direction, but they made us feel (during a pandemic, with small children and pets) that we could relax because they really did have it all under control. The sale was seamless and simply put, they are the BEST. Thank you, Peter, Tregg & David, we highly recommend your team to everyone who is looking for the highest level of professionalism and expertise! We are so grateful for your help.
Tregg and David were awesome from start to finish. Got introduced by a friend who had also purchased his first home with them. They made me feel supported throughout the entire process answering all of my annoying questions and addressing all of my concerns from big to small. Can't recommend them enough and super grateful to have found them for my first home-buying experience!
I'm not sure words will suffice to share what a fabulous experience we had with Tregg Rustad. He went above and beyond the call of duty every single time: especially during the pandemic. In fact, I doubt that we would have been able to survive the various hurdles without him (things like mold remediation: which he organized and occasionally oversaw). Mostly, though, I would stress his impeccable ethics. Honestly, we'd never been in a real estate transaction where the agent represented buyer and seller alike. We were at first skeptical, come to find that the entire experience was, if possible, even *more* above board and free of the usual puffery. We can't say enough good things about him and are sorry only that we have no more real estate to sell in the LA area, so we can't use him again. All this by way of saying: don't hesitate. We were weighing three different Realtors® and will be et…

Peter, David, and the rest of their team are truly the best of the best. As first-time home buyers, Peter made us feel completely at ease, taking the time to walk us through the entire process so we felt well informed and confident. His impeccable instincts and negotiation skills absolutely nailed it for us, winning us the first house we offered on. He had our backs at every turn and continues to be there for us anytime we have questions or are in need of resources or recommendations. Plus, I can’t imagine a more honest, thoughtful, and lovely person to go through this process with. We could not have taken this huge step in our lives without Peter’s help, and feel so incredibly lucky to have had him on our team.
We’ve bought and sold a number of homes over the past 20 years and each time we asked Peter and Tregg to be our realtors. While anyone can help you sell or buy a house, having individuals who are at the top of their industry truly makes a marked difference when it comes to the details. Peter and Tregg have built a team that provides a comprehensive concierge service that takes away the pain points and handles the ugly surprises that always seem to accompany a real estate transaction. Peter and Tregg take the time to understand what your goals (and hopes and dreams) are for the transaction and bring their decades of experience to the table to develop a plan founded on what is reasonable and actually achievable. There is nothing worse than a realtor that overpromises and under delivers. Peter and Tregg have never let us down and are true experts at what they do. This team of professionals …
