"The TLDR: Ilya is a professional, patient, and efficient Realtor® who will make sure you are happy with the new home you will buy. He will involve you in the process and is very responsive despite how busy he is. Very hard working person. 11 out of 10 experience. The long version: It is impossible to describe truly how amazing Ilya and Fair Realty is, but I will try my best to put it into words. My experience with Ilya began in 2019 when I was a renter for a property he managed. Ilya was very professional, personable, and very patient with all of my questions and needs. He coordinated quickly between the owner and my household, and managed all of the repairs and issues we had throughout the 2 years we rented. Towards the beginning of the 2021 year my wife and I decided we wanted to take the plunge to find a home in the absolute insane Los Angeles real estate market. We first went with a different Realtor® who was recommended from a close friend. He was very nice but we felt that we were never really involved in the process. He was quiet, and did not make us feel as if he was fighting for us. We saw probably close to three places per week from April to September with breaks in between, and did a lot of our own research. As we went along in the process, we were not seeing any results and were never really considered for a bid (even though we had the capital). Finally my wife said enough was enough and we reached out to Ilya. Long story short, he was the complete opposite. Ilya involved us in the process from the get-go. He did a lot of the little things I didn’t realize at first how important it was such as CC us in emails with our mortgage lender and explain to us what sellers look for in a buyer. We felt like we wasted a lot of time going with the other guy. Ilya made sure he lined up a bunch of places to see on a day that worked best for us. The most impressive part was during the first showing with Ilya he came with a notebook full of notes and information, and told us how he had already been schmoozing with the other agent. Things the other guy never did. Funny enough we ended up placing a bid on the first home we saw with Ilya, got the place, and are living in our own home right now! Probably was a coincidence but to us we felt it was all thanks to Ilya lol. Anyway, long story short, Ilya is your guy!"

"INTEGRITY, DEDICATION, MOTIVATION, ACTIVE LISTENER, and PROMPT. These are some of the highlighted characteristics I observed that defined Ilya as my Realtor® during my house hunting voyage. If you are looking to buy a home, we all know how stressful that can be and everyone including some eavesdroppers will put their two senses into it. It is time consuming, exhausting, and overwhelming. Fortunately, my family and I felt that we created a dream team. Our lender and our Realtor® Ilya. From the very start Ilya asked us a few short but meaningful questions and from our answers, he put the puzzle together to simplify our list but with our high expectations. Integrity, Ilya will get straight to the point and tell you all the pros/cons of the house and the processes and obstacles if you want to move forward with the house. Dedication, you are not his only client which tells you that he is in high demand due to his work ethics. This will give you a peace of mind that he will give you his 110%. I gave him some space so he can spend time with his love-ones otherwise he will work like a machine. It is great for me but then I am not that terrible. If he sees any slight delayed or poor workmanship from others i.e., escrow officer, notary, etc., he has no problem firing them and look for a better one because we all have the common goal, to depart happy and purchase a great home in the most seeming less expeditious way. Exceeding the expectation is self-rewarding and is the fuel to his motivation. I believe that Ilya is motivated by this concept, and it is advantageous to his clients. Active listener, you paint him a picture and he will do his utmost effort to make that a reality. Prompt. You can call, text, e-mail, snail mail, even use a pigeon if you like, he will answer you back immediately. You want great results, get a great person."

"I have been working with Ilya ever since 2015 when he helped us secure our first home. Even though there were a lot of offers for that home, Ilya was able to get our offer accepted. First time home buying is usually stressful, but having Ilya guide us every step of the way made it almost a pleasant experience. Fast forward to 2020 when Ilya helped us sell that home for top dollar. I left everything in his hands and let his expertise do the work. I will say, when you are working with Ilya, you feel like you’re his only client. While selling our house, Ilya was also simultaneously working on finding us a new house. Ilya again was able to get our offer accepted on the new home, beating out other competing offers. Although selling your home, while trying to buy a new one is stressful, Ilya made the experience almost stress free. If you want someone with great customer service, able to wheel and deal for you and make your home ownership dreams come true, Ilya Tsipis is your best option."
