Alison Gilbert

"Alison helped me buy my first home this year. When we began the search I was a complete novice, and through working with her I now feel very knowledgeable about the home-buying process and the real-estate market. Alison is exceptionally helpful when doing walk-throughs of potential homes, and she notices things you would never think of. She made the home- buying process a fun one from day one!

Alison helped my husband and I buy our very first home! We were looking in the highly competitive NELA market, and with Alisons patience and guidance we were able to get into a beautiful character home that hit every item on our must-have list and more (we even got a pool, very hard to come by in this area at our budget). Most impressively, in a market where nearly every home we looked at received multiple offers over asking price, Alison was able to negotiate a great deal for us UNDER list price! This is a mark of a strong and astute agent. Additionally, Alison negotiated repair credits from an extremely stubborn seller. The money we saved on the purchase along with the repair credits has allowed us to do some up front renovations and give us a more beautiful starter home than wecould have ever imagined. Since she lives and works in NELA, Alison is very knowledgeable about various neighborhoods, schools, shopping areas and parks. She was focused on finding homes that we would have a chance at landing and loving even with our modest budget. She also opened our eyes to possibilities we may have not considered on our own. Finally, Alison has an eye for renovations and decor. I found this extremely helpful when looking at homes that required some TLC. I would highly recommend Alison to fellow property virgins looking in the NELA area.

Alison was a huge help and wonderful guide through the unknown world of real estate. Never pushy, but always responsive, she was never more than an email or phone call away and always able to answer first timers questions about the home buying process or give insight and suggestions. It took us a while to find the ideal home but Alison was patient and helpful throughout. Shes a joy to work with and incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of homebuying and ownership. A real asset to have alongside you!

"We needed to sell our house - and fast because we were moving out of state! We chose Alison because of her extensive knowledge of Northeast Los Angeles and her analysis of the market. She got us 10 offers within one week of listing our house and we ended up getting WAY over the asking price. We are forever grateful for all her hard work in meeting with the buyers, inspectors, other agents - she truly went above and beyond for us!"

Alison helped me find my dream home! She worked tirelessly to find me the perfect place, and her support, reassurance, advice, and attentiveness made my first home buying experience a breeze. Not only is Alison very knowledgeable about the real estate market, but shes also a person who is just really dedicated to her clientsshe wont rest until shes found you EXACTLY what youre looking for. Shes smart, on top of every little detail, and brings a creative eye to the table. I cant speak highly enough about her skills, expertise, and commitment. If youre looking for a superb real estate agent, look no furtherAlison is the best in LA!

Alison helped my husband and I buy in Highland Park/Eagle Rock recently, which was no easy task considering the low inventory and high interest! Alison was fabulous to work with; we always felt she understood what we were looking for, and she was laid-back, yet accessible. If, like us, you appreciate a no-pressure realtor, then look Alison up. She made the process very calm, and answered all of our endless property virgin questions promptly and in a way we could understand. She took us to SO many houses, and worked on a whole lot of offers on our behalf beforewe landed our house (which we love). Alison is very sharp and has a great eye for design, which we appreciated a lot. She also has a great team of people you can work with (mortgage professionals, inspectors, etc.) so you always feel secure. In short, Alison was the perfect realtor for us!

Alison helped me and my wife sell our condo in Silverlake. She worked with us to get it ready to list and was extremely helpful with ideas and staging. The process was long and she was extremely patient with us and the condo board - and in the end we were very happy with the sale and her hard work in helping us get the most money for our property.

Ive never written a review for anything on the internet, movies, food, car dealerships, anything but my experience with Alison was so terrific that I felt compelled to add more positive words to her page. Theres no amount of gushing about the terrific job Alison did for us that can put into context just how instrumental she was in finding the perfect home for my wife and I. If you are looking for a home on the East Side, or if you have a realtor thats not getting you the results you need, then I couldnt recommend more strongly that you give Alison a call. She is the best.

"Alison is a great partner in finding your new home. She has intimate knowledge of North East LA and is very helpful when determining neighborhoods that will suit you and your family. Alison is always available to meet for a showing and has a flexible schedule to meet your needs (i.e. Late night phone calls due to work schedules). We actually went into escrow twice before we finally purchased...so she also has patience and a sense of humor with the tedious process that is home buying often is (especially right now in NELA). She has an upbeat attitude and fun personality(bonus - she is great with kids)! We love our new home! Thanks Alison!"

"The greatest compliment I can give to Alison is to refer my family and friends...so here it is people...Alison is possibly the only realtor in the world that does things electronically (yay Docusign). Not to mention her communication skills, knowledge and personality are much appreciated. ??She is everything that you want for one of the biggest days of your life. She is like your maid of honor on your wedding day; she is the wax in your mustache, the keys to your car, and the cheese to your macaroni. Thank you Alison we love our new house. May we someday repay the slice of happiness you have helped us acquire."

"We met Alison very early on in the process of searching for a new home. She was referred to us by a very reputable real estate agent, so we felt like we'd be in good hands. It wasn't until we got to actually meet Alison that we realized not only were we in good hands, but this entire process was going to be FUN. That's right . . . FUN. Probably not something you traditionally hear about the home buying process. ??Alison provided us with a lot of information at the beginning and customized our home search based on our criteria. Whenever we had questions (which was often, since we're first time buyers), she answered them within 24 hours or less. She checked in with us every week, took us to see properties all over Northeast LA and eventually helped us land a winning offer on a home in Glassell Park. NOT an easy feat. She handled getting us all of the paperwork (thank GOD for Docusign) and worked with the seller's agent to secure credits for work that still needed to be done on the house. All in all, it was as pain free as you can get. With the competitive market in NELA, having a real estate agent who is knowledgeable and fast, yet calm and savvy, is a must. Alison is all of those things - and she's incredibly sweet and has great taste! We would definitely recommend Alison to any first time homebuyers out there. She will walk you through the ins & outs and isn't afraid to give you her 2-cents on a property (she saved us from quite a few less- than-ideal houses). She's a gem!"
