Testimonials
"Anthony represented us in the recent sale of our home in the Highlands neighborhood of Pacific Palisades. Our introduction to Anthony came via a close friend, who lavished praise on Anthony and Amalfi Estates. When he came to our house for our initial interview, Anthony was prepared, persuasive and articulate in his approach. He devoted considerable time explaining the overall market picture as well as the implications for the sub-markets in the Highlands.
He offered suggestions for marketing and pricing the house as well as substantive recommendations for any necessary repairs. Our meeting was informative and comforting. We were thrilled to have found an agent in whom we could place our complete trust. Further, we could see that working with Anthony would be a process of collaboration; we would have an active voice in any decision-making."

Broker Agent magazine published an article about Amalfi Estates in Spring 2004.
"You have no idea how much I have heard about you since your article came out. You are all around loved. So many people mentioned reading your company profile and told me what a great person you are. Realize of course, this was no news to me, I already knew this information. However, it keeps coming up. People like the way you carry yourself, run your company, and just love you as a person all together. Just wanted to let you know. I really enjoyed working with you and look forward to keeping in touch. Lastly, I just hired a new assistant in my office and guess who she got her condo from? The wonderful Amalfi Estates."

"I have worked with Anthony on 2 real estate purchase deals, 1 sale deal and one rental deal over the last 3 years. While many things have impressed me about Anthony, the most outstanding aspects are his dedication to his clients, his in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market and industry in general, and his professionalism and integrity. Anthony is one of the few people who consistently do what he says he'll do, does it well and does it in a timely manner. He follows up with things (everything!) and that seems to be a rare quality in people these days. He was extremely thorough in understanding our needs and wants, in searching for the properties that met our needs and did not waste our time just showing us what was available. His ability to comprehensively analyze the properties for their fit for our needs, how they compare with other potential properties, what the true value of the property is, and therefore what the right bid price should be, combined with his expert negotiating skills, saved us well over $100,000 on each of the two purchases we made.
I've recommended Anthony to anyone I've met who was looking to buy a house on the west side of LA. I can't emphasize enough how this is the guy you want on your side in today's high stakes real estate market."

"I have used a ton of real estate agents over the last few years and there has never been anyone who can remotely compare to Anthony Marguleas. He specializes in representing buyers.
He knows the market better than anyone, he knows when stuff is hitting before anyone, he is completely astute at maximizing every situation to make sure the buyer gets the best deal. I don't do anything in real estate whether he is in the deal or not where I don't run the thing by him first.
He is simply the best in this area and gets a 10 on my recommendation scale."

"Rick, as I was relocating and was very unfamiliar with the area, you had to really listen to my requirements and desires, and I had to trust your opinion. It is amazing how many realtors don't listen; Again, as your home is your biggest investment and greatest source of comfort, I wanted to let you know I appreciated working with you personally and professionally."

"Working with Anthony as our personal buyer's agent, the experience this time was refreshingly quick and pleasant. Anthony successfully negotiated terms of the purchase which exceeded our expectations, expertly guided us through all the complexities of the paperwork, and eliminated all other hassles associated with the purchase of a home. Anthony's attention to detail, thorough research methods, expertise & most importantly, honesty & integrity, are most impressive qualities. In short, he is the most professional & effective real estate broker I have ever worked with. Because of my recent experience with Anthony, I have enthusiastically recommended his services to over a dozen of my coworkers and friends."

"Rick, not only did you secure the best possible loan for me, but also you did so in an obviously honest and ethical way. You took the time to answer my questions, to keep me well informed, and to do all that you could do to make this process less stressful for me. As a first time buyer with a good deal of anxiety about the process, I appreciated this very much."

"Rick is very friendly, responsive, (always responds to my call within a few minutes and always has information requested within the same day) and goes out of the way to help us."

"Anthony, you have been our guide throughout the entire process, and you've lead us to a home that truly exceeded all expectations. From now on, we won't refer others to you, we will INSIST that they call you whenever they even think about buying a home."

"Anthony, working with you on a second purchase was an even better experience than the first. Without a doubt, you and your company are one of the hardest working, diligent and reliable services that I have encountered. In terms of customer service, following up and following through you are clearly ones to take lessons from. I have routinely referred Amalfi Estates to friends and associates who ask me how I was able to accomplish the purchase of both my homes. I will certainly do so based upon the certainty of belief that I have in Amalfi Estates' ability to assist serious home buyers in the search, discovery and closure of the home buying process."

"We cannot thank you enough for the many hours of work you put in, cheerfully showing us homes, answering our questions, preparing offers and putting together our loan application. We simply could not have done it without you. The listing agent told us that your presentation of our offer was the reason our offer was selected over the four or five other offers the sellers received. Wow-we owe you."
