Lonnie Mintz recognized by first time home-buyers

First time home-buyers,lonnie Jason and Samantha, reached out to one of our agents, Lonnie Mintz, to recognize how helpful he was in their home-buying experience. Their letter reads as follows:

“My wife and I had been looking for a home in the San Fernando Valley for over one year. We spent time with many different realtors and made countless offers, none of which were accepted. That is until we met Lonnie Mintz. Lonnie was incredible. Within 3 months of working with Lonnie I am happy to say we are now home owners. I do not believe we could have got this house if not for Lonnie. He is aggressive, knowledgeable and really on top of everything. Lonnie will walk you though the process every step of the way. Lonnie makes sure you are fully informed of each step, which is extremely important, as we were first time home buyers. As I stated earlier we were working with many different realtors prior to meeting Lonnie. I can tell you from these experiences not many realtors,if any, work as hard as Lonnie. You can reach Lonnie, any time of day and if he misses your call, its only because he is with another client and he will call you back immediately. We have already recommended Lonnie to our friends and will definitely be using him for any future real estate transactions.

Jason and Samantha C.”

Lonnie followed up with, “This is why I became a Realtor and decided to work at Rodeo Realty.  I really do help make people’s dreams of homeownership happen.  There are few things more rewarding in this business than handing the keys to buyers for their first home once escrow closes!  Not only do I have a really satisfied client, I have new lifelong friends!”

Rodeo's Marketing Department recognized by Debra Ziven

An honorable mention jeffglen2for Rodeo Realty’s marketing department. Debra Ziven, of the Beverly Hills office, personally took time to give thanks and praise to Glen Berg and Jeff Weston.

“Dear Glen and Jeff,

How are you?  I hope you are half as ecstatic as the clients on [address redacted].  Your extraordinary execution of your jobs is greatly appreciated.  As an agent, I am proud to carry a Rodeo Realty card and boisterously brag about the marketing department.   The best part is that I’m 100% confident those claims will be  backed up.

As the lucky one who gets to seeing the unabashed happiness on the clients’ faces and hear the excitement in their voices, I wanted to take a moment to let you know.   You may feel that you’re just doing your jobs, but really, you’re making a tangible,  positive difference in people’s lives.  The marketing provides a sense of  structure and helps the clients better envision the selling process and manage any inklings of trepidation.  Thanks for all you do!

Have a wonderful day,

Debra”

Praise For Our Amazing Westlake Village Office Manager Demetra Kalivas-Rees

The following letter demetrawas sent by one of our agents giving thanks and praise to Westlake Village Office Manager Demetra Kalivas-Rees.

“Hi Syd,

I wanted to commend Demetra for assisting me in my very difficult deal.  She has been wonderful, available to me 24/7 and I do not think this deal would have closed without her assistance.  She is an amazing Manager and wanted to let you know.

Thank you for such an amazing manager for the Westlake Village Office.

All the best,

Fern”

Sometimes the work of our office managers can go unnoticed and it is always nice to be recognized. They work tirelessly to make sure everything functions smoothly and they can never be thanked enough. Thank you Fern for the feedback!

 

Rodeo Realty’s Joe Babajian lists a Historic Hollywood Hills Home

This newly remodeled 4,200-square-foot home in the Hollywood Hills has been home to many different celebrities for almost 100 years.

In 1931, Bela Lugosi, famous for playing the original “Count Dracula”, purchased the home. Ten years later, in the 1940’s Martha O’Driscoll, coincidentally also known for a Dracula movie, “House of Dracula”, moved into the home. She sold it in 1950 to Frank Sinatra shortly after his marriage to Ava Gardner who made it their first home together.

Located in the gated community of Outpost Estates, the home has just been remodeled and neighbors with residents just as famous as the past owners, Charlize Theron, Salma Hayek, and Ben Stiller to name a few.

Some of the features of the home include a brand new kitchen, pocket sliding doors between the living room and patio to make it one giant living space, and gray-stained French oak floors.

The master bedroom on the third floor has a patio and is accompanied by two other bedrooms. The lower level is a full guest suite.

This historic Hollywood home with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms is listed for $4.95 million by our own Joe Babajian.
