Jay G. sold a home in Marina del Rey

Sold a Condo for $3.430,000 in Marina del Rey, CA. I needed to sell the Condo as Trustee for my uncle's estate and I don't live in CA. So I needed a realtor to take care of everything for me, once I emptied the apartment. William did that and more. He knew the building, including the repair people and manager. He made all of the arrangements to get the Condo ready for sale and found a buyer within a week of posting the listing. He helped me through the negotiations with the buyer and kept me informed during the process. He was always exceptionally prompt, helpful and professional. He was also incredibly knowledgeable about the unit and the building. He listed the Condo at a higher price than was suggested by other realtors, assuring me he could get top dollar for this property, and he came through. It was a great pleasure working with William and I give him my highest recommendation.

William Durfee is an absolute five star agent. Transactions with him both on behalf of my clients as well as for purchases for myself have been at the highest possible level. His approach to real estate is excellent in every way --- a fully knowledgeable agent, responsive, outstanding at negotiation and 100% responsive!

Harold B. bought a home in Marina del Rey

My wife and I were referred to Mr. Durfee. He helped us find an apartment meeting our needs and desires in the building we were interested in. This was quite an accomplishment given that the building is high end in a sought after location. Once we decided we wanted the apartment he helped us in many ways. First, he negotiated a considerable discount in the price. He then connected us with an appropriate mortgage lender. There are many aspects to purchasing such an apartment, and Mr. Durfee was always available to help in meaningful ways. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. The process was quite involved and Mr. Durfee was there for us. He was a pleasure to work with. We cannot imagine a better real estate professional.

Fabricia H. sold a home in Marina del Rey

William is very professional, prompt, organized and, most of all, he goes the extra mile to make sure his clients are comfortable and at ease with the process. He keeps the process simple and realistic from the beginning. He gave me an honest assessment of the real estate market and a likely timeframe for when to expect to have my condo rented. That helped remove any unrealistic expectations and make it much easier to deal with. Since I was out of town for the entire process, William was also great to deal with as he was very flexible in his schedule in order to be available to all the prospective tenants. Added to that was his in-depth knowledge of the building and all it had to offer. Most of all, he was great at helping me negotiate the rental terms in a way that worked for both parties, creating a win-win situation.
