Nili Hudson’s Testimonials

“Because of my work, I’ve had to move in, out and around Los Angeles several times during the last decade. During that time, Nili helped me buy three houses and sell two, as well as helping me find homes to lease. Each time, she made the process as painless as possible. She understands my practical and aesthetic needs and always guides me in the right direction. Together we have bought, sold and rented in all kinds of markets and she consistently gets the job done. A year ago I found myself shopping for a home in a very difficult buyer’s market and she found me the perfect place at exactly the right time. I’m very happy there and don’t anticipate moving again, but it’s nice

to know if I ever have to, she will be there to make it happen.”

“I am not easily impressed by most things or people and generally I don’t write reviews or buy into consumerism - period. Having said that, I am breaking those rules for good reason. Nili IS IMPRESSIVE. She is a professional who knows her stock and trade and it's clear why she is successful. She guided us in terms of the price we should list our house for and told us what to expect. She was pitch perfect - we got more than we had hoped for and what she thought we would get. She knows the area, the market and the people. She is respectful, attentive to detail and has a genuine interest in her clients. She also has the patience and disposition of a saint. If I could leave a sample of my DNA here to verify the validity of my identity and this review, I would. This is real estate professional you need to call.” Andrew Campbell, 2/3/2016

“Nili helped us sell our house in Santa Monica. We live on the east coast and have had the same tenant in the house for the past 17 years. Nili educated us about the process, laid out our options at each point, and always emphasized that she would follow whichever option we selected. Her sale strategy was excellent, revealing her knowledge of the area and experience with the psychology of potential buyers. We had 6 offers within 5 days of the first open house. The house was in escrow less than 2 weeks after the listing went online. Nili was very considerate of our tenant, which was a priority for us, and she took care of many details which we could not see to because we were out of state. I can't recommend Nili highly enough. She is professional, experienced, knowledgeable, and a joy to work with. She also has a fabulous support staff.”

“Before my husband and I bought our first home, I had always thought that real estate agents made a killing on commissions. 3% of the sales or purchase price always seemed so high - was it worth it? After working with Nili, I would say that she is worth her weight in gold. If you are lucky enough to get to work with Nili, you will find her to be not only an amazing agent, but a wonderful person so full of integrity that you will also have a new friend. My husband and I were looking for a house for several months and we ended up with the house of our dreams. As we looked at various homes, Nili pointed out things I never would have thought about, all the while being very sensitive to what we wanted. She had great tips on things that had value and things that did not, which was critical help for first time homebuyers. She was 100% reachable, responsive, involved, and knowledgeable (she even answered a call on a gurney in the ER - seriously!) As this was our first home, she guided us through every single process and explained everything so clearly. She brought with her many years of good referrals to other professionals when it came time to do inspections. If you want an agent to go to bat for you and have your best intentions at heart, look no further. Nili is a star.”

“I have to pat myself on the back for choosing Nili as our realtor. She was amazing: knowledgeable, competent, and understanding. She pushed for the best possible price and got it, and then proceeded to guide us through the process, putting our interests first, while maintaining a good working relationship with the buyer. Who knew there was so much to know about selling a home? This was such an easy process with Nili at helm. My husband and I highly recommend her, for buyers and sellers you can't do better”

“I worked with Nili to buy my first home... It was exactly what I wanted, a true (and major) fixer in Santa Monica. It was the least expensive home in the area at the time - and I would never have "won" the house without Nili. Beyond that, as a first-timer, she walked me through the home buying process - giving me the confidence to lock in and make the purchase. Most remarkably, the property had THREE all cash offers - almost guaranteeing that I would not get the house. But Nili worked with the sellers' agent to convince them I was the offer to take. She let them know I would follow through (unlike many all-cash offers) because I intended to fix it and live there - not tear it down to redevelop. Without Nili, her excellent negotiating skills and personability, I'd not have my home. (She also got a 20k price reduction on top of everything!) I was able to renovate, restore and renew the house. Nili has kept in contact and has been a great support though the entire process. ”

“An expert, hands-on professional who guides a real estate transaction from start to finish and beyond!:  We have now had the pleasure of working with Nili on three real estate transactions: the purchase of a home, the sale of that home two years later, and the purchase of another home.  Nili has superior skill in researching property values within the context of the market. For the purchase of our first house, she was thorough and complete in providing information regarding comps as well as “context” within which the value of a property near the beach could be evaluated. She used this information to provide comprehensive communication to us, but also in using it to negotiate a reasonable yet competitive price. She wielded her skills and her knowledge in an aggressive yet always pleasant manner, reacted very quickly to compete effectively with multiple offers, and we got the house.

(continued)

We were relocating from another city, so Nili took it upon herself to assist us long distance with the maintenance of the property, including finding us a gardener, an audio visual installer, and other professionals. She was our hands-on advocate from the moment of initial contact to the date we moved into the house and after.  This is precisely why we contacted her to assist us in selling the house two years later and in purchasing the house we currently own. And once again, she provided exact, careful advice and guidance through both processes, selling and buying. She created a very high end, impressive marketing approach, producing a gorgeous, informative selling flyer on the house for open-house visitors (of which there were over 100 the very first weekend the house was listed.) Parking can be difficult for a beach street property, so she contracted and coordinated valet parking for the open house, and placed signage intelligently so that potential buyers could easily view the house and property. She was exacting and comprehensive in the listing of the property on real estate websites (Trulia, Zillow, etc.) and even managed to garner a coveted listing on the front page of the L.A. Times Real Estate section. The house went to contract within 10 days of its initial listing.

(Continued)

 

On the purchase side, once again we were in contention with other interested buyers. And once again, Nili stayed on top of the negotiations from morning to late evening and maintained a level of constant communication that ultimately rewarded us with a contract. So on both purchases, while we were competing against multiple offers in a highly competitive market, Nili succeeded in procuring the properties for us.  Equally on the purchases and the sale, Nili was our champion during the inspection process – never sending an assistant or proxy – and production of punch lists and documentation with the seller. So much of this process relies on careful presentation of one’s written and verbal communication. Poise is needed; writing skills are needed; an appreciation for nuance and finesse is needed. Nili could conduct a master class in all three of these.  She is an extremely experienced real estate professional, an unrelenting advocate for her clients, and ultimately and thankfully for us, a treasured advisor and good friend. ”

“I stumbled upon a house and figured I didn't need an agent. I'll just buy it. What's the big deal?

I got to the open house. People were swarming. Came back for a second look. ALL THE SAME PEOPLE WERE THERE. Panic set in.

Fortunately I had met Nili on a couple of occasions long ago and for some reason she popped into my head. I called her, asked her to look at the house and to tell me if I was crazy. After confirming that I probably was, in fact, crazy and had been for quite some time......she agreed it was a great house for me and assured me that if I wanted it, she would get it for me.

She navigated through a very competitive bidding situation with ease, helping me to construct the best (not necessarily highest) offer and the house was soon mine.

The closing was one of the easiest, least painful business transactions I have ever been through. I could not recommend her more highly.”

Rich Carter, 7/16/2013

“Amazing. We recently moved to LA from abroad and to find Nili was an absolute godsend. Her knowledge made us feel comfortable about the process at every step. And there are a lot of complicated steps! Her knowledge of the market and the area made the process very comfortable but what made it special was that it was so personal. We felt as if she understood us and what we needed which is exactly what we needed.

Incredibly professional and experienced but Oh yeah, she is also a really nice person....That counts for a lot!”

Ben Quinn and Catie Ziller, 10/21/2013

“ My family and I have had the pleasure of working with Nili three times and each and every experience has been wonderful. She has an expert knowledge of every neighborhood in Los Angeles and that allows her to pin point the perfect home for your needs. Nili is extremely passionate about what she does. She always responded to any questions right away with a call, text or email and never left us hanging. Her passion helps make the complicated experience of buying or selling a home, fun and exciting.”

Karan Soni, 2/20/2014

“Nili tirelessly showed us MANY homes all over LA as we chose the perfect spot for our family. Not only does she have incredible professional experience with these areas but she was born and raised here and has, thus, lived, played and worked all over. This allows her to offer insights into the various areas that would be lost on a newer agent or one from out of town. When it came time to put in an offer and then close on our house her knowledge and guidance was indispensable. We absolutely love our new home but look forward to working with Nili again when the time comes for us to move once more. And we highly recommend Nili to anyone looking to buy a home.”

Sara and Ryan Snow, 10/18/2013

“Nili is the absolute best. She's well informed, well connected, very experienced and most importantly trustworthy to negotiate on your behalf and be aligned with your interests (and not short-sighted to try to push a deal for her own benefit). And she's a tough, tough negotiator.

We would use Nili over and over again (and have for two separate homes).

She is so skilled and also a truly wonderful person. We were lucky to have Nili helping us with one of the most important decisions a person or family can make.”

Frank and Alison Addante, 5/7/2013

“I recently purchased a 8 unit apartment building in West Hollywood for $1,695,000 that had over 10 offers on it and Nili fought very hard to make sure that I was able to get the property! The seller's agent told me directly that the reason he convinced his seller to take my offer over the other's was because of Nili! Nili has a great reputation and other agents want to work with her. I am very happy that we were able to close this deal as it is a cash cow for me. Thanks Nili!! :)”

Jeff Byrd, 4/1/2013

“I have known Nili for around 4 years. She assisted my daughter in buying a townhouse in 2010 and recently assisted my husband and I in purchasing a townhouse. From the get go Nili made us feel totally at ease with her personality, knowledge, professionalism, and accessibility. Real Estate is not just a "job" for Nili; she takes an extreme amount of pride in her work and consistently went above and beyond the call of duty to help us find the right place at the right price. She did this for my daughter as well. I can't speak highly enough of Nili; she will do

everything in her power to make sure you find your "dream home!!”

Lauren and Dan Cline, 7/21/2013

“My wife and I have worked with Nili for over 20 years. We have done two transactions (1 purchase and 1 sale) over that period of time and are working on a third currently. I cannot say enough about Nili’s skills in regards to follow up, negotiations, and overall professionalism. If there is a benchmark of what a truly great real estate Broker should be, it is Nili Hudson.

If you are fortunate enough to work with Nili you will do yourself and your family a great favor and be provided the best possible real estate representation. The utmost possible financial outcome will come as a result.

If you want the best there is, hire Nili Hudson.”

Tim and Maria McCaslin, 4/17/2013

“Nili, exceeded our expectations. She marketed our condo beautifully, generated a ton of interest and then negotiated on our behalf smartly. She kept us informed each step of the way and educated us when we needed it. I would recommend Nili highly, they don’t come any better!! Thank you Nili!.”

 

Brian Harris, 9/6/2016

“Nili was our agent on TWO separate transactions over a two year period for both the purchase and subsequent sale of our condo in LA (Century City). For anyone looking for real estate representation on the Westside, there is no one better than Nili.

What we really loved about Nili, aside from her in-depth knowledge of the Westside market, is that she treated us with the same level of respect, attention and professionalism as if we were clients buying a multi-million dollar property (which we definitely weren't!! But point being, she cares about clients no matter who you are or how much you are looking to spend.)

She demonstrated just how awesome she is when she helped us sell our condo in early 2010. The market had taken a huge dive, and yet we had multiple offers very close to our asking price in a matter of DAYS--with an accepted offer less than a week after we first listed. Amazing!! She knows her stuff--how to price, how to market, you name it!

Sadly, we moved away from the LA area or we would use Nili again in a heartbeat. She's the kind of agent who makes you just want to keep buying and selling just so you can work with her again!”

Kim and Alex Taylor, 3/24/2013

“My little family recently purchased a house in Woodland Hills and Nili was our agent. We were first time buyers, and she simply made it happen by helping us step by step through the process, she recommended the best mortgage broker and stayed in contact with the seller's agent every day till she got us the house of our dreams.

Moreover, she watched our backs by putting all the right things in our contract, and even re-negotiated with the seller after escrow to get us an even better deal than we've agreed on. I would trust her blindly with buying or selling any property for me in the future.”

Ramy and Sharra Romany, 3/20/2013

“Awesome realtor. Knows her business forward and back. Very good listener and patient with clients. Very thorough and diligent. Very responsive around the clock. Very attentive and fastidious. Highest recommendation.”

Doctor Etan Milgrom, 3/20/2013

“I would highly recommend Nili Hudson to anyone who is even considering a new home.

She is wealth of knowledge in real estate and the overall LA market. Her charming personality makes it pleasure working together and her level of client dedication will exceed expectation.

She is incredibly passionate about her work and has a clear understanding of her client's needs.”

Mark Meyerhoff, 1/08/2013

“Nili is without question the most professional realtor I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

We first met Nili during a stressful cross country move, she treated our hunt for a rental home with the same level of diligence and importance as she would the purchase of a $5m home.

Unlike many realtors she fosters a genuine relationship with all her clients (home owners or tenants) which will ensure you continue to work with her until you find your perfect home.

I've referred her to numerous friends who have all had the same wonderful experience. A true professional.”
