Kathy & Rachel Tyndall- The Tyndall Team

Originally, my husband and I were looking to buy a home on the Westside with a focus on Culver City. We looked left, right, up, and down. We were passed up on offers three times, and couldn't get a hold on a house we truly loved. Even the ones we put offers on were definitely not our dream home. We constantly felt like we were settling. Once we decided to expand our search to the South Bay, we asked Kathy and Rachel to help us locate a home that was in our budget and met all of our criterion. It took Rachel one night to come up with a comprehensive list of homes that matched very closely to what we were looking for. Rachel showed us the home we just bought the day after she sent us the list, and we immediately fell in love. It was literally the first house I really felt giddy about. The home was on the market for 2 days before we saw it and already had multiple offers. We saw it on a Thursday, and we had to leave for New York on Friday! I was in a panic. I wanted the house... badly. Poor K+R had to deal with our texts, emails, and phone calls all Thursday night. They put the offer in that night. We found out that we were in contention with 8 other offers! On the flight to NY, I could only think about the home.Once we landed in NY, K+R contacted and informed us that she and the selling agent had been negotiating. They established a great rapport with the sellers' agent, and was very well-informed on exactly what they were looking for. They had us write a personal letter to the sellers and gave us a list of what would make us the most favorable buyer. The sellers asked for a final and best offer from all of the potential buyers, and K+R knew exactly what was necessary to seal the deal. The sellers accepted! We felt like we got an incredible home for a reasonable price in such a competitive market.Of course, we were still in New York at this point, scrambling to get loan documents together and coordinate the inspections. K+R said, "no problem," and handled the inspections in our absence.A few days later, and we were back in Los Angeles. We were on a tight loan deadline, and K+R kept us well-informed, put the appropriate pressure on the sellers, bank, escrow and title company when necessary, and despite some tense repair negotiations, got us through escrow with our sanity intact.One month after close of escrow, K+R are still helping us out with handyman recommendations, making sure we received appropriate closing documents, and even greeted us at our home with a bottle of champagne along with our keys! K + R were truly amazing. They went up and beyond the call of duty, and best of all dealt with all our neurotic and panicked behavior with grace. We HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!!!!

Dear Kathy and Rachel, Im writing to you to thank you for handling the sale of our home and the purchase of two others with finesse, flexibility and broad understanding of real estate law and marketing trends. They say the hardest business transactions involve the combination of an attorney and an engineer. I imagine, however, it is even more difficult if that couple is dealing with a forced sale resulting from a divorce. Coupled with the fact that we had different priorities, were not in agreement most of the time, and had trouble dealing with each other, you two were remarkable. You negotiated away each objection resulting from individual peccadilloes, often to your own detriment. You were remarkably upbeat neutralizing difficulties with a joke or an irreverent comment while maintaining an air of impartiality necessary to make up both feel comfortable. You did an outstanding job of closing with difficult buyers and sellers in a tough market, piecing together a deal that seemed impossible to negotiate. I have learned from you that the most important marketing skills are exhibited at the end, not the beginning of the sale. As an attorney, I know that many contracts fall apart over the minutia that arise after the agreement is signed. You both have a true skill at removing objections one by one and actually closing an impossible deal. I have learned that a realtor needs much more than outstanding knowledge of real estate, law, finance, marketing, taxes, insurance, home repair, multiple ethnic cultural acumen and a good car, all of which you two possess. She needs to be a psychologist capable of handling whatever personal barriers that may arise. As far as I am concerned, you two have earned your Shrink PhDs. Even after everything was closed and finished, you showed up with flowers for me on Valentines Day, the most valuable and empathetic gift anyone could have given me. Thank you for everything.

This mother daughter team goes the extra mile. Both have this uncanny ability to "read your mind" when it comes to trying to figure out the type of house you're looking for. Also, they are very technologically savvy so they can set up search parameters so you can view potential homes in the comfort of your own home/office.They helped me to find the exact house I wanted which wasn't easy given my strict parameters: One story, 4 bedrooms, Craftsman style, big back yard, front patio area with a view. Oh boy, I sure gave them a challenge but they found it!!!! They can help you find your final nesting place as well. Trust me. I've used them all and finally found Kathy and Rachel. Don't waste your time on others. They get it and very few do

Our experience in selling our home of 20 years was made bearable by and through the efforts of Kathy and Rachel. They were a professional team and were extremely helpful when dealing with the various steps in getting the sale signed , sealed & delivered.

This is the second transaction the Rachel, aka The Tyndall Team, has helped us with. They actually helped us buy and sell our first home at a profit we are quite satisfied with! We couldn't have asked for a sharper and more astute representative during this involved process. We appreciate their knowledge, due diligence and flexibility to our wants and needs. They really know how to take care of their clients and we truly adore them. We can't wait to tackle our next investment with their expertise!

Kathy and Rachel have helped us in both the purchasing and selling of 2 homes. They are extremely informative, quick, and responsive. As first time (and then second time) homebuyers, they were patient and walked us through the process and made us feel comfortable with any decision that we made. I would highly recommend them as realtors to anyone in the South Bay!

Kathy and Rachel were very professional and they did a great job throughout the entire selling process. Their knowledge of the market helped accurately price the house initially. The marketing materials were phenomenal, especially the photography. They were attentive during the selling process, always ready to help

Rachel and Kathy Tyndall are hands down the best realtor team in the South Bay! We went to them as first-time sellers of our family home, extremely nervous about the process of putting our house in the market with three young kids underfoot. Not only were they enthusiastic, knowledgeable about the market, and easy to work with, they also calmed our nerves with their positivity and experience, and made the process of selling our home completely painless. We always heard back from them immediately when we had questions or requests. They heard our concerns about showing the house while keeping it clean with three young kids, and worked out a schedule that was perfect. They know the market in the area, and have many years of combined experience in the South Bay. Best of all, we really felt like they put our needs and desires during the process at the forefront of all their thoughts, marketing tactics, and, most importantly, negotiations when faced with multiple offers. This was a five star experience all around.

I can't believe the home is SOLD after only 38 days of listing it! You guys did an amazing job and I couldn't ask for more. Thanks to you my mom's future is secured.

Kathy and Rachel are the hardest working, most personable agents in the south bay. They have sold 2 of my houses. Making each one a better experience. Rachel with her added touches to make a house look great for open house. Kathy with her experience, and knowledge. Oh, and dont let me forget about her baking, and bringing over constant treats. Their personalities are amazing, they are high tech, and keep in constant touch with their client during the selling process. They are the perfect team!!!!

Our experience was two-fold, as they represented us as sellers and buyers. Our selling experience was spot-on: the price settled on was reasonable and buyers came in numbers, with 5 making above-asking offers within the first few days. With their guidance we sold quickly and at a profit that enabled us to purchase a nicer home than we anticipated...and also within a short time because they did not waste a minute of looking time. They only showed us homes precisely within the description we gave them. We were proud to have them represent us in both negotiations and have already recommended them to friends.

Both Kathy and Rachel were extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Even before the official listing took effect, both were helpful in coordinating with my contractor while I was out of the country and renovations were taking place. I was able to enjoy my vacation for four weeks with no worries. Once listed, Kathy and Rachel kept me informed in detail as to open houses, showings, and offers. I was very happy with the whole process.

Kathy and Rachel are a world-class team! We have been working with them for close to a decade and have purchased and sold four homes with them. Everybody looking in Palos Verdes and the South Bay should go to them for all their real estate needs. They know the market inside-out, have intimate knowledge of every neighborhood and have built outstanding relationships with all the top brokers in the area. Rachel has her pulse on the market and is always on top of the greatest deals even before they hit the market. Kathy has a lifetime of local real estate experience to draw on to navigate the most tricky situations. Together they are an unstoppable team. Every time, they helped us close a great deal quickly and effectively. They have the highest integrity, are incredibly professional and truly look at the long term interests of their clients. They will always go the extra mile (for our first home purchase we looked at over a hundred homes!). They can navigate complex sales and purchases. And just as importantly, they are fun to work with! Thank you, Rachel and Kathy for your deep expertise, hard work, wise advice and always being there for us!!!

Rachel & Kathy are fantastic! They recently represented us in selling our condo and buying a new home and we couldn't have chosen a better team to represent us. Selling our condo had many layers, like dealing with the HOA as well as our tenants. But they navigated us through the process flawlessly and we sold for over our asking price. When we started searching for a new home, we were shown a ton of properties that met our needs. We felt as though they had our best interest at heart, but they also understood what we wanted. Always making time to show us new properties, we were shown our now home the day it hit the market and we were in escrow within a few days. In the buying process the listing agent and seller put forth many unreasonable requests which Rachel & Kathy managed and represented us well and we still closed escrow on time. Something only true professionals could have done. Rachel & Kathy are a first class team who bring many years of experience and knowledge. If your looking for someone to represent you in the buying or selling process, they're your gals!

Excellent transaction with Kathy and Rachel Tyndall. Very conscientious and responsive from the beginning to the end of our purchase. Very courteous, professional and proactive. Well networked in the South Bay beach cities area. Builds good working relationships with other agents and key people in transaction. Was instrumental in finding this home, alerting us as it was about to hit the market & negotiated for us in a complex, counter offer process. Thoughtful sales professional with great communication skills, listens to customer's needs and provides sound advice. They were always thinking ahead to ensure things ran smoothly for us. Would highly recommend. Thank you for making this beach cottage possible for us Rachel and Kathy!

Dear Kathy and Rachel,It was wonderful to work with you! Thanks so much for helping us to get our dream home-We will always remember your great effort and kind help on our behalf. Your professional service, patience and support are greatly appreciated. We cant wait to move into our new home! We look forward to having you over as our guests once we are settled in our new community.Warmest Regards,Ailin and Dan

These were the best agents anyone could ask for. They fought for me sold my house in 6 days and got my offer approved on the house that I thought was only in my dreams. I would not have been able to buy a house if it wasn't for them

As an absentee landlord, I require a local real estate agent who is willing and able to match the services and resources near my rental property to my needs and expectations. Rachel Martiens fits that role to a T. She has performed inspections, arranged for repairs, and negotiated a lease agreement, all with patience, understanding, and warmth. She works collaboratively and promptly and provides for me the reassurance that I need operating from a distance. I also appreciate the support she gets from Kathy Tyndall with whom she partners.

This is the third time we have worked with Kathy and Rachel to buy a property. They are very responsive and a pleasure to work with. We like how they represented us as buyers and had our best interests in mind.

Kathy and Rachel helped us buy our dream house and sell our existing house (new one was contingent on selling existing one) it was a delicate and complicated dance but they did it! There were a lot of negotiations involved in buying the new property over many months. Their experience, local knowledge and relationships made a world of difference in a deal that could have been dead if not handled carefully and strategically. When everything was said and done they even delivered us a number of disks with all the paperwork and information from our transactions (just used those for tax season, thank you!) as well as provided local resources and contacts. They are South Bay experts!

Look no further because you have found the "best team in the South Bay". Kathy & Rachel go that extra mile for their clients and anticipate their every need. Their knowledge of the real estate market is invaluable and after closing a particularly difficult transaction, Kathy & Rachel held our hands and walked us through every detail. Hire Kathy & Rachel and you too will recommend them to your friends
