Your Trusted Pacific Palisades Real Estate & Land Advisors

Michael and his team were a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable about the area and the market. Each member of the team brings a lot to the table. Great advice and guidance on preparing the property for sale. Excellent marketing and negotiating skills. Exceeded my expectations and delivered a great result. All greatly appreciated.

You cannot find a more professional team than The Edlen Group. Our family has known Michael Edlen since 2015 and on several occasions we asked him to assist us in understanding the market conditions of the coastal luxury home market. We have worked with them several times to lease and finally sell our property. The services they provided were extensive, assigning a listing project manager to coordinate updates and staging, the MLS listing, disclosures and marketing materials. Michael and our assigned broker agent developed a pricing strategy which gave us a good range of pricing possibilities. The strategy we selected led to multiple above-listing offers within 5 days. Our broker agent managed the whole process from inspections to financing, insurance, title and escrow. She kept everything moving forward. Michael and his team take the long view of a client relationship. They don't just focus on the current transaction, but on the needs of the client now or in the future. We would recommend the Edlen group to anyone buying or selling in the luxury market.

This review is an exact copy of my email to the Edlen Team after the close of escrow. The email was a genuine thank you to the team and wasn’t meant for this posting. I’m doing this now on ET’s request. ET helped to sell my house in Santa Monica smooth and swiftly (10/12-on market, 11/14-escrow closed). My Dear Edlen Team, I’m honored to be part of the team. You demonstrated professionalism perfectly in every aspect. You kept a sure pace moving forward efficiently which gave me a great sense of security in this uncharted water of mine. Being warm, candid, and knowledgeable conducting business is what I saw and learnt from you guys. Thank you! Like I said, I’ll direct my Asian friends to you, if any of them are interested in the westside properties. You earned your reputations. I know you’ll have smooth sailing in all weathers, rain or shine! I’ll start a new life journey soon. I’m going to say goodbye to my second home town, LA, for a while. But I’ll come back and visit friends, old and new. To know you guys is truly a great bonus, besides the $2mil. Hahaha! Take Care Y’all! Frank

How can we even begin to elaborate on the gratitude we have for the Edlen team?! Such an incredible group of realtors and professionals that lead with experience, knowledge and most importantly, with heart. They have a keen eye and knack for the market and an accumen which speaks volumes to their success and notoriety in the market. When the "Edlen team" speaks, ears and doors respectfully open. The Edlen team protected us from a bit of a shady seller in our buying process and made our simultaneous property sale fast, successful and at even higher than asking! We are so grateful for such a powerhouse team of dynamic Realtors! Thank you Micheal et al, for such an easy and painless process over the last few months. We are SO grateful and look forward to working with the team again with any and all future home sales and purchases. If you are reading this please rest assured that you're in safe and extremely component and caring hands. Thank you again E team!

Michael Edlen was initially referred to me with high praise by a trusted friend when we were relocating to the Pacific Palisades. Not only did he meet our family’s high expectations for his work, but he exceeded them. Michael, Christina, and Tati found the perfect home that perfectly accommodated all of our needs. Michael helped my family go through the entire moving process smoothly! Even with the COVID 19 pandemic affecting our business and causing a financial strain, Michael made the whole process stress free and straightforward. We have been able to also develop a wonderful relationship with Michael and his team, which is drastically different than any other real estate experience we have encountered. I cannot recommend Michael enough!

Michael’s team is as professional and capable as they get. Their operation runs like clockwork. Their knowledge of the market is deep and their commitment and proper execution to get you as their client the most advantageous outcome is total. I would recommend them to anyone with a multi-million dollar property to buy or sell, definitely for the most demanding transactions. That’s were they shine. Everything taken care of to a high standard with this team, with attention, courtesy and complete satisfaction. They’re simply the best in the business.

Michael and his team helped us buy our home, rent it out later after we moved away and eventually sell it for a fantastic result. They are extremely knowledgeable, patient, client-focused, and professional.

This is one review we are happy to write. Four years ago we contacted Keith Craven of the Edlen Team to help us find a house to lease. We had sold our home in Malibu but wanted to see how we liked Pacific Palisades and in particular, the Highlands. Keith found us the perfect home to lease and for the next four years he showed us homes to buy. I used to joke that Keith had the patience of a "saint." By the time we saw 20 homes, Keith knew what we wanted. Although it did take four years to find our home, Keith was ever diligent about moving us along so that we didn't get caught up in a bidding war and that we didn't miss the opportunity to buy by taking too long to make a decision. Thirty days later we had our home, moving in on December 29th! Additionally, Keith was our landlord's agent and again, he moved swiftly and found a tenant who was able to move into the leased house on January 1st. Keith Craven is the quintessential real estate agent, professional, honest and patient. We would highly recommend him for any real estate deal "big or small," as he will give it 110% of his time.

With more than three decades of experience as an entrepreneur and over a decade of experience as a real estate agent myself, why did I turn to Michael Edlen’s team for renting out my house in Pacific Palisades this past summer? Was it worth it? Absolutely! Having the knowledge about my own house and the market could not ensure the best outcome because my judgement was clouded by the emotional attachment to the house. After attempting to list it on my own for awhile, I reached out to the legendary Michael Edlen. Two zoom calls later, I began to understand why he was so successful. Instead of trying to sell his service to me, he really listened to me. I really felt heard. He was charismatic and knowledgeable on a totally different level. I assumed he would assign me a beginner apprentice to handle my rental. What happened afterwards has blown me away. Christina Wagner, the veteran agent on his team, got me multiple offers within a week, landed me a lease with better price and terms than those of my own attempted listing. There were many twists and unexpected issues before the final signing, but Micheal and Christina could always come up with some solutions. I was a client from hell. I would not have wanted a client like myself. Instead of being thrilled about multiple offers, I started oscillating between renting the house furnished and unfurnished, allowing dogs and not allowing dogs, renting the whole house and renting part of the house. Christina didn’t put up with me to make money, there was literally not much money to be made! She understood my agony of having to part with a house I had financially and emotionally invested into for almost two decades. She was empathetic yet firm, guiding me through the very emotional process with MY BEST INTEREST in mind. She responded to my emails and messages almost 24/7 without any delay. She went above and beyond helping me with repair work after I had already moved out of state. I’ve worked as a real estate agent and with many real estate agents. You can trust me when I say she is one of the best I’ve ever seen!

A journey alone only gets you so far. If you are lucky however, you come across a team of true professionals that help you reach the finish line sooner than expected. Michael and his team helped me with the sale of my Aunt's home, which originally began as an extremely difficult and complex process. Michael and his team were instrumental in quickly finding a qualified buyer and bringing the transaction to a quick and successful close. Thank you Michael, Tati, Christina, The Edlen Team
