Working with Lani to find my Los Angeles condo was an absolute dream! I was moving from NYC with a very short timeline to find a place in Brentwood - Lani found me the absolutely perfect place to call home! The market was very limited but she worked to find off-market options, and promptly toured them all. She was my boots on the ground and sent me videos, FaceTimed me, and gave me honest feedback based on my needs and lifestyle. She really got to know me so that I felt very taken care of and I trusted her completely. She found me the PERFECT condo in a very desirable building. She worked with the landlord and agent to ensure my application got in, helped me negotiate terms of my lease so that it worked with my relocation dates, and handled ALL of the paperwork. I didn’t have to lift a finger and I’m so happy in my new home! I’m so appreciative of Lani and The Payab Group - I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home in LA, especially for someone moving from out-of-state or out-of-town - a trusted set of eyes and ears to help make your move smooth and easy.

I have had the pleasure of working with Stephanie Payab and The Payab Group 3 times in recent years. Stephanie first represented me as a Seller for my home in Encino and helped me purchase a home in Woodland Hills as a buyer. This home was perfect and I've enjoyed for the last few years. When it was time to sell this home, I of course reached out to Stephanie. The Payab Group didn't just list my home for sale, they guided me through every step of the process. Stephanie and her team made the process very smooth and often went way above and beyond for me. I'm thrilled that a great real estate agent and team handled the transaction for me. From preparing the property to holding open houses, opening escrow and managing inspections and everything in between, the level of care and communication was amazing! I highly recommend reaching out to The Payab Group for all your real estate needs in the Los Angeles area.

We truly could not have asked for better realtors than Lani Kreshek and Matt Kaminsky with the Payab Group at Berkshire Hathaway in Encino. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond in every possible way. Lani spent over an hour simply getting to know me before we even began physically looking at homes, and Matt took extensive time speaking with my husband as well. Together, they really listened to our needs, priorities, and lifestyle, which made the entire experience feel incredibly personal and thoughtful. Despite one of us living farther away and working within a very small window of time, they were always prompt, accommodating, professional, and friendly. They curated thorough and well-matched home options for us and made sure we explored a variety of neighborhoods so we could truly understand the different communities and what might fit our family best. Throughout the process, they offered honest, insightful feedback and consistently asked thoughtful questions to both us and the sellers’ agents that helped us better understand each property and what would realistically work for our needs. Thanks to their expertise and guidance, we found our literal dream home in our dream neighborhood. Our purchase ended up being far more complicated than it should have been due to circumstances outside of our control, but Lani and Matt handled everything with professionalism, patience, and incredible resourcefulness. They advocated for us every step of the way, communicated effectively with the sellers’ agent, and even helped coordinate with our own sellers’ realtor to make sure everything stayed on track. Beyond just helping us buy a home, Lani and Matt also gave us amazing insight into the area itself, including schools, gyms, shopping, neighborhoods, and local recommendations that made our transition feel so much easier and more exciting. Moving to a new place and a new state can be overwhelming, but Lani and Matt made the entire experience feel manageable, exciting, and even enjoyable. We are just beginning to get settled into our new home and already could not be happier. We are so grateful for their expertise, kindness, and dedication, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Lani, Matt, and the Payab Group to anyone looking to buy a home in the area.
