Meet the Group

After trying without success for almost 6 months to rent my Santa Monica luxury home, I finally decided to hire a professional agent. I had been resistant in the past since my experience was that many agents simply put the listing on the MLS and wait for another agent to rent the property. Upon meeting Michael and Natalie, they shared that their approach is very different. They said they would aggressively market the property to thousands of local agents as well as engage both social and traditional media PR campaigns. While I thought it was just the usual real estate agent pitch, I took the chance. To my surprise, Michael and Natalie exceeded both...

Michael has been my agent for several years and I trust him 300%. He has always gone beyond agent responsibilities and helped me get through the whole letting go process. Every time I have worked with Michael my house was rented very quickly because he was there showing my house a kabillion times. Michael is the kindest most compassionate person I know and his brainiac knowledge of real estate is impressive. Most importantly he has integrity and has never let me down. Never would I use any other agent. I must also make mention of Natalie, who works with Michael, as she is a godsend. She is so nice, sweet and so patient with a stellar personality to ...

We highly recommend Mike Grady and his wonderful team. Mike and Natalie were extremely professional, easy to work with and able to find a home for my grandma in the short amount of time we had. My grandma was moving from Paso Robles to Torrance with a specific budget and home requirements. Mike negotiated to get us under contract on the house we liked when there were multiple offers. He also provided us with a landscape designer, contractor and various professionals to help my grandma even after the closing. We would definitely work with Mike and his team again!

Michael and Natalie made the purchase of my first home as stress free and enjoyable as possible. They worked hard to find exactly what I was looking for and always gave me great advice and guided me in the right direction every step of the way. They connected me with great architects, contractors and anything else I could have possibly needed to make my home into everything I wanted so I could make the best decisions for my home purchase. They really listened and took the time to show me endless homes and guide me through the process of this difficult market. I’m so grateful I found them and cannot recommend them enough!

Michael and Natalie were wonderful advocates and partners for us during the purchase process. They helped us complete a challenging purchase and I would highly recommend them. They showed excellent knowledge of the local market, including reliable vendors we could use for remediation and made helpful introductions. They guided us through the process of buying our (first) home. They were always available for a call, and worked 7 days a week around our schedule and they helped negotiate a lower price that we would have otherwise secured.

Let me get straight to the point: The Agency’s Michael Grady is excellent at his job. In terms of experience, efficiency, integrity, connections, knowledge of intricate financial mechanisms and just being an all-around good dude, I have nothing but the highest praise for him. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who specializes in westside neighborhoods. He and his amazing operations manager Natalie Courtright helped me find a home as a buyer: an often frustrating search (thanks to bonkers market conditions) that lasted from February to June of this year. He used his deep, street-by-street and sometimes house-by-house familiarity wi...
