About Melissa Samuels

I truly can't recommend Elisa and the team enough. Not only did Elisa help me navigate the murky waters of being a first-time homebuyer in 2013, but she just recently helped me sell my condo this past July, and for a nice amount above asking (with multiple offers and in less than a week). Elisa is knowledgeable, well-respected, incredibly responsive, and makes the daunting process of home buying/selling actually pleasurable. She also proved to be a huge asset to me in helping with recommendations on everything from soup to nuts -- from the best mortgage broker to a great handyman. In addition to Elisa being such a phenomenal real estate agent, she w...

Not only did Elisa do an amazing job selling our condo, but she also led us to our dream house. Elisa’s advice about how to price our condo competitively hit the nail on the head. In the over saturated one bedroom condo market we were able to sell it promptly and at a profit! She was great at handling the negotiations and made the process feel so easy for us. It was fun working with someone we could relate to and Elisa is not only our realtor but a close friend. She knows the market we were looking in like the back of her hand and her connections with mortgage brokers, contractors, insurance agents and so forth was a life saver. We were extremely ha...

Elisa was such a pleasure to work with. We both bought a house and sold our condo with her. With her help, we were able to find the perfect house, and with her negotiation skills, we were able to get it for an incredible price- way under the listing. She also got us a full-price offer on our condo after it had only been on the market for one week! Elisa has great communication with her clients and keeps us informed of the process every step of the way. She was easy to get a hold of at all times and was extremely professional in all her interactions. We used her loan officer and all her inspectors, and we were happy with all of them. Whenever we have...

Elisa is the best. We sold our home with her and bought a new home all within a couple of months. We had to do a lot of prep for the sale of our house, and the team went above and beyond to coordinate all the work and stage the house. It made a huge difference for our photos and showings. Her knowledge of the market was spot on, and based on her advice, we had offers come in very quickly and easily. The entire process of selling and buying with her was very smooth and very fast. We could not have done it without her. She worked extremely hard for us, and she's a joy to be around. Hire her immediately and take all of her advice. We are now in our dre...

What can we say about working with Elisa? It was simply a pleasure. She made the process of buying our dream house stress-free and took on the challenge of selling our previous home with enthusiasm (it should be mentioned that during this time she was getting married, and we never felt like she wasn’t giving us her fullest attention!). She had a good eye and instinct for finding the house that we would love. In fact, we were only working with her for about 2 months before she found our house. We may never want to move again because we love our house so much, but if we ever did, we would definitely work with Elisa!

I highly recommend Elisa to help you find your next home. Her knowledge and expertise helped us to navigate the complicated Los Angeles real estate market and land us in our perfect home. She was our coach, friend, advocate, and occasional giver of tough love when we needed it. Her guidance helped us to reconcile our needs and wants with our budget and find us a home we wouldn't have found on our own. After our offer was accepted, she smoothly guided us through the various inspections and mountains of paperwork to close very quickly. With Elisa helping you, you'll be sure to find the perfect home.

This is a true story. We arrived fresh off the boat from Australia and knew nothing except that we wanted to buy a house. Thank goodness one of the only people we knew was Elisa. She had listened to what we wanted before we arrived, and on day one of our landing, she was showing us the best houses. We instantly had a new bestie that really got us. Within two weeks of arriving in a new country, she had found us our dream home. The trouble was, it was the dream home of 12 others! I don't know what she did, but she got us Escrow. She not only got us the house, she organized our home loan, insurance, tradespeople, and even our car! Seriously, we feel li...

Elisa was absolutely phenomenal. My husband and I needed a lot of guidance throughout various stages of the process, and she was always able to break things down for us and give us the real take. She was absolutely instrumental during the deal-making process, and during a pivotal point during escrow, she was able to intervene and get us the answers to the questions that we had. She's very connected and savvy as to the players and strategy needed to get you to the home of your dreams. She absolutely helped us get ours! She also helped us sell our previous residence and highly recommends her on that front as well.

Elisa helped my husband and me buy the townhome of our dreams in 2013, even though there were already 7 offers (some all cash) by the time we saw the property. We were first-time buyers. Elisa's expertise, guidance, and positive relationships (she had worked with the selling agent previously) helped our offer be the one that was accepted. She then helped us navigate the "hoops" we had to jump through to see everything through. Elisa is knowledgeable, resourceful, responsive, a pleasure to work with, and a bulldog when you need her to be. We could not recommend her more highly.

From start to finish, Anthony is the supreme professional. If buying, you tell him what you want, he listens carefully, and then he takes you to only those properties that fit your criteria. If selling, he creates a price point and marketing strategy that guarantees a successful sale. In both scenarios, he can connect you with his team of terrifically efficient and knowledgeable consultants so that the process is as smooth as possible, and Anthony handles everything with grace and humor. If you decide to work with Anthony, just know that you are in the best of hands!

Elisa is hands-down the best. I've bought two houses with her and have recommended her to everyone I know. Everyone comes back raving. I am now living in my dream home, which I only got because Elisa got me into the property and locked it down before anyone else saw it. It was new construction so there was a fairly long punch list. She took care of every item on the list and every other step off the process. I hear that home buying is stressful for many people but with Elisa I have never stressed for a second. Don't think twice. And then trust her. She's always right.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have had Sherri and Anthony as my realtor agents. Their savvy knowledge of the business is exceptional and they really went high and above my expectations. Not only did they sell my home at top price, they stopped at nothing to find me my new dream home! I will absolutely use their services again as well as I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a A+ team to buy or sell their property!

Anthony once again was amazing! If you are looking for an agent who not only possesses the knowledge and experience but one who is honest and actually cares, then I highly recommend Anthony! Anthony helped my family get into our very first home at a great price. He then helped us sell that house four years later for an incredible profit, and got us into our dream home! Anthony and the whole team are the best!

Working with Elisa Ritt as a first-time home buyer was a dream. She helped us navigate the waters of loan pre-approval, finding a home in a very competitive market, negotiation, and inspections, with so much patience and grace. She made sure that once we found our dream home, we were the ones who got it! Her relationships, persistence, and advice for us were all factors in that. We're so grateful to have had her guiding us through what could have been an anxiety-riddled journey to homeownership, and have recommended her to many friends since.

My condo sold in ONE day with Elisa. No joke. She’s a true professional, with a savvy marketing eye, a keen sense of the current real estate climate, and a quality repertoire of great contacts that help make any home sale an efficient and stress free process. She has the winning combination of hard work, experience, patience, honesty, and a focused attention that makes you feel like you’re the #1 priority at all times. With Elisa, you get that rewarding, hassle free experience that can only come with the guidance of a true pro. Smooth Sale-ing! Thanks, Elisa!

I had an amazing experience working with Anthony! He walked me through the stressful process of buying my first home. The house I fell in love with had 22 offers and, because of his guidance, it ended up being mine. He knows the market and what it takes to not only have your offer accepted, but also close. I felt taken care of the whole time and truly cannot thank him enough!

Elisa is the absolute best. She helped me purchase my very first home, and even though there were 3 offers on the house, we were able to buy it without any issues. I was able to trust her completely so when she tells you to do something, just do it. She knows what she's doing. Promise. She's also quick, reliable and will help you get the house you want without any hiccups.

When we decided to move to Los Feliz, we were leaving behind an ideal residence of 25 years. So our hopes and expectations for finding another dream house were very low. That is, until we met Elisa Ritt and the team. Reviews of services and individuals on the net are usually rated with a maximum of five stars. After our experience with Elisa, that number simply can’t do justice to her and what she has done for us. At the outset of our quest, we ran smack dab into a market with exceedingly low inventory and Elisa was more than equal to the challenge. She gave the word “tenacious” an all new meaning. She wedded herself to our needs and taste as if the...
