Testimonials

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.

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. 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.

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…

Furthermore, he has a great team - notably David, who contributed to our great experience. 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.

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.”

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. The marketing pieces were top notch and consequently we had an excellent response when we lis…

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.

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. They were quick and efficient with getting our home listed in just a matter of days and we had offers within 24 hours of listing.

Our home had multiple offers quickly and Tregg and Peter were experts at navigating the best responses and guiding us towards the most favorable outcome. We went into escrow within a week of listing! 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.

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.

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 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.

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 was put to the test with an outstanding permit on our 30-year old remodel.

Tregg’s attention to detail and personable style was 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.

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 …

I would like to offer my enthusiastic recommendation of the team of Maurice & Rustad to everyone looking for real estate representation.

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.

There's a reason why we've used Maurice & Rustad three times, and have referred half a dozen friends & colleagues to them (who have also gone on to refer their friends and colleagues). Simply put, they are the best in the business due to their knowledge, experience, and professionalism. While homes were selling at record prices in 2021, Peter helped us close on our dream home, below ask (after negotiating credits), even amidst a competitive bid process. While I don't mean to set improper expectations, I mention this as evidence in Peter's expertise in negotiations. Similarly, Peter helped us get a whopping 12 offers when selling our old home within one week of listing, resulting in us selling well above ask. Also, when working with Maurice & Rustad, you don't just get Peter and Tregg, they have a highly capable and experienced team that provides phenomenal support. As an example, we …

Also, when working with Maurice & Rustad, you don't just get Peter and Tregg, they have a highly capable and experienced team that provides phenomenal support. As an example, we had an extremely short contingency period, and the Maurice and Rustad team was able to coordinate 8 inspections to happen all on the same day, shortly after our offer was accepted. Lastly, Peter has gone above and beyond for us. There are more stories to tell, but I worry I would be setting the wrong expectations for other clients. In short, he's done so much more than I would expect any normal Realtor® to do. Just one example is how he's helped us "battle" our home warranty company when an appliance broke, even though it was 6 months after moving into our new home. I once was asked why Realtors® are needed when it's possible to search and find homes online yourself. There's so much more advisory, negotiation, and coordination that goes into a good real estate transaction than I think most people realize. Honestly, you probably wouldn't know what you were missing unless you had Maurice and Rustad help you. They are in a different league than everyone else.

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 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 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."

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!

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 a home before selling our first house. When we made a very las…

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 a 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!

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 …

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 know that this helped the sales process immeasurably. 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.

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…

He’s someone people will always come back to for their real estate deals. We will.

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.

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 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!

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. 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, an…

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.

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 …

Peter's attention to detail in a purchase process is also worth commenting upon. He helps his clients inspect every inch of the property, its systems, etc. His thoroughness is a huge benefit. 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. …

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. The result was amazing. My photos turned out better than expected and during the first two open houses, he had over 250 visitors. 25! 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.

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…

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.

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…

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!

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 …
