“We just closed escrow on the sale of my mothers' house in Mar Vista in West Los Angeles. My parents lived in their house for over 62 years and had met many great realtors over the years. When my parents passed away they said to use either one or two of the ones they knew or find another great one on our own. We interviewed three firms and decided on Davis and Burns Group. We made the right choice, they were fantastic to work with and achieve our ultimate goal of selling the home to the right buyer. We liked the fact that they handled everything from the listing to working with stagers to the open houses and ultimately negotiating the sale and getting escrow closed. Many other realtors have large teams and hand-off parts of the process, but Claire and Becca did everything and were present for everything as needed. They are fantastic and I would not hesitate to use them again. Do yourself a favor and use them, you too will be overly happy.“

“Claire + Becca's knowledge, expertise, and extensive relationships made it possible for me to be a competitive buyer in a hot market, despite the fact that I had to compete against buyers who were paying cash. Their skills in project management, their ability to bring reputable contractors and tradespeople to the process, and their coordination of the financing were invaluable. In fact, Claire + Becca found me a mortgage with better terms, at a better rate, than I had found on my own. As someone with a very demanding career and no expertise in real estate, there's no way I could have made two purchases (and one sale) without their help and without making a mistake that would have cost me more money than I indirectly paid them in commissions.“

“I worked with Claire + Becca to purchase my first home and had an absolutely amazing experience! They went above and beyond to truly understand what type of home I was looking for and make me feel like I was their only client. They were incredibly responsive and didn't push me towards a house, they really put in the time and effort to make sure that my first home would be exactly what I was looking for. There were a lot of hiccups in our process of closing, but I had full trust that Claire + Becca would get it done. Being a first home buyer, they also explained everything really thoroughly and gave me tips and tricks along the way. I cannot recommend Becca and Claire enough, they're a really strong team!“

“At year-end, I wanted to sell my house for a good price with a short escrow and minimal visits from potential buyers. Claire and Becca were professional, realistic, efficient, and savvy. In a blink of an eye, we were in escrow. They navigated me through it, and before we knew it, I was closing. Claire and Becca made it easy and smooth for me. They clearly know their "stuff" and they are an absolute delight to work with! In fact, we actually had fun!“

“After a year of feeling generally discouraged by the connections we were able to make with properties and realtors alike, my husband and I decided to put our search on hold. The stars aligned and we had the good fortune of meeting Davis & Burns. We were first-time buyers, and really needed guidance. They bring an impressive breadth of knowledge to the table of the LA housing market, which made an otherwise daunting process seem navigable, even hopeful. They were genuinely curious about where we'd been, and what we were looking for in our very first home. They ignited our excitement about the prospect of revisiting our housing search, and within three months of setting out with them, the offer we made was accepted. They partnered with us as we set out to grasp the complexities of escrow and inspections. Because we were newbies, we needed to feel that we were partners with our realtor, not just a transaction. Not only were they partners, they were also interpreters, hand-holders, and a support group all rolled into one team. Saying that they far exceeded our expectations seems inadequate. Before we met Rebecca and Claire, we faced the very real possibility that in order to find our home, we'd have to begin to look outside of the community that we had grown to love; where our kids went to school, and where we'd built lasting friendships. They will always be the beginning of our story of how we found this house, but most importantly, of how we were able to remain firmly planted in the neighborhood that we always wanted to call home.“

“Claire and Becca’s knowledge, combined with their rare integrity, gave me every confidence in the sale of my home. Their knowledge of the areas I am now shopping for my next home again gives me security that I am selecting the right home for both my family and investment. I simply do not make a move without their expertise.“

“Claire and Becca helped me find my dream home and I couldn’t be happier! Our search was exhaustive, but they were a pleasure to work with every step of the way. They were knowledgeable, patient, and accessible. I would recommend Claire Burns and Rebecca Davis to anyone.“

★★★★★
“We initially had our eyes set on one neighborhood but ended up purchasing a home in a different neighborhood about 9 months after beginning our search. We ended up in our dream home, and it wouldn't have happened without Becca's flexibility, honest feedback, experience, and responsiveness. We encountered some hurdles during closing, and Becca was always available to discuss and guide us through. In particular, our inspection found some issues that needed remediating, and Becca came up with a mutually agreeable solution and successfully negotiated it on our behalf. We couldn't imagine a better agent! Melissa Stephens, Becca's assistant, was also extremely helpful and friendly.“

“We sold our home! Yay! I wish I could give more than 5 stars to the Davis + Burns Group! Claire was our main contact with Becca on the team as well. They went above and beyond my expectations. This sale required experience, knowledge of the market, contacts, and creative solutions! And Davis + Burns delivered on all counts. We got a great price, and the escrow was seamless. Our main contact, Claire, was especially attuned to our needs as she gave us a straightforward, realistic approach to our situation combined with her experience, insight, and heart. This was not the 1st time I've sold a home, but it was the best experience. I give Davis + Burns the highest recommendation.“

“If you are looking to buy or sell property on the west side of Los Angeles, i.e., Mar Vista, Venice, Culver City, and Santa Monica, we have a great recommendation. Rebecca Davis and Claire Burns of Davis & Burns Properties recently represented us in a sale in Mar Vista. They were both fabulous: informed, honest, courteous, persevering, and personable. How they were able to navigate through the very troubled waters of interested developers, investors, and new and old home buyers and stay focused, thorough, and even cheerful was astounding. Of course, with the mine field of endless California bureaucracy, which, being from out of state, was baffling to my wife and me, Becca and Claire advised and explained clearly all the ramifications of the current Los Angeles real estate market, assisted in the preparation of the house and lot for sale and virtually walked us through all legal issues to culminate in a satisfying and successful sale of our property. We don’t feel that you could find any two better people as real estate agents to represent you in a sale or buy in the Los Angeles area. By the time we concluded, we all felt like family, unexpected!“

“Becca is a fantastic realtor! She treated me like a VIP and I was very impressed with how responsive she was. Whether it was weekends, holidays, etc. she always got back to me and answered all of my questions in a very friendly and professional manner. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable and nice. Five very enthusiastic stars!“

“Davis and Burns guided us through our first house sale-- they took something that overwhelmed and stressed us out and made it simple, reasonable, straightforward and downright easy. Additionally, their experience resulted in us getting an amazing price and an incredibly smooth escrow. If this sounds too good to be true, it's not-- use them and you'll find yourself writing your own five-star Yelp review before long."
