Due to unexpected circumstances, my sister had to leave the house she loved and had lived in for over 25 years. A fall had left her physically unable to continue to manage her home, not to mention all the details of selling it, so I volunteered to help her. Our first step was to find an agent. On the recommendation of close friends we interviewed Tregg and Peter. On first meeting my sister and I were so impressed that we knew right away these were people we could work with. We weren’t wrong. From that initial interview to closing we felt totally taken care of. They helped us every step of the way to understand the selling process, kept us up on fluctuations in the market and advised us on the best time to list the house, as well as guiding us through prepping and staging the house for showing.

The marketing pieces were top notch and consequently we had an excellent response when we listed. When we accepted a higher than expected bid, Tregg walked us through the inspections, contingencies, escrow, and closing with endless patience and handholding. We will always be grateful to Tregg, Peter and the team for all their professionalism and expertise, making a difficult transition run so smoothly.

We're so fortunate to have found Tregg Rustad to help us with purchasing a second home, a Westwood condo. Tregg Rustad was extremely helpful throughout the entire process of buying a condo, from finding the right unit to closing the deal. While touring units, Tregg was thorough and was able to identify areas that would need work and made helpful suggestions on how to best proceed. He's well connected with people in real estate, and can recommend competent people from inspectors, handyman, to painters, electricians, etc. He's also a superb negotiator and meticulous with details; we trust him implicitly to represent us and he did all the negotiations with the seller. We were not able to do the closing walk-thru due to not being in the area at the time, and Tregg inspected the unit for us, and everything went smoothly. We have complete confidence and trust in him.

In addition, he's very personable, easy to work with, and responsive. Very, very pleased with his help in securing an excellent unit at an excellent price. Tregg has our highest recommendation to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Los Angeles area.

Dear Peter and Tregg, I wanted to drop you a note and tell you how pleased we are with the outcome of the sale of our home at Wilshire House. As you know, between Louise and me, we have sold more than a few homes over the years and have dealt with many people in real estate, we came back to you for this sale (and our new purchase) as the result of the positive experience we had in our first transaction. I'm very happy to say that you handled the sale with a level of confidence and dexterity that allowed us to yield the transaction and its details to you. When you were able to push the price to a level beyond what we had expected (and well above what we told you we would accept just days before) we were surprised and delighted. We feel you were really on our side since we know you could have taken the easy route and not fought for such a high sales price. It would seem, Peter, your years …

It would seem, Peter, your years fighting for your clients when you were a lawyer really do pay off! You timed it beautifully and we wanted to say thank you for that. We've finished the work on the new house and it is beautiful! You found us a winner and we love the size and privacy. And thanks very much for helping us out with the warranty company on the water heater issue - we do appreciate your continued follow-up and involvement.

I needed to sell my condominium. I hired Peter and Tregg to be my agents. That was literally one of the best decisions I ever made. They came highly recommended and I can see why. These guys are the consummate professionals. They made the entire process so easy. They were totally accessible and were there for me every step of the way. They gave me great advice when it came to small things that I could do to make my place look much nicer. Any time I needed to ask them a question, I never had a problem reaching them. Whenever I texted them or emailed them, they would respond immediately. I ended up with multiple offers on my condominium and ended up selling it well above the listing price. When it came to knowing how to handle the multiple offers and the negotiations, Tregg and Peter were masterful. When you have multiple offers, it's hard to know which offer to accept.

When it came to knowing how to handle the multiple offers and the negotiations, Tregg and Peter were masterful. When you have multiple offers, it's hard to know which offer to accept. In a situation like that, it is key to have experienced agents like Tregg and Peter. I had so much confidence in their expertise that I pretty much let them handle the negotiations and let them decide which offer to accept. They made the right call. The offer I accepted was rock solid. Escrow closed without a hitch. Selling a property is usually a very stressful thing. Peter and Tregg took all the stress out of it. When you have guys that smart and with that much experience, you know that you have nothing to worry about. It was great having that kind of peace of mind. I could not recommend them any more highly. Not only will they get you top dollar for your home but they will make the whole process a breeze. It was truly a pleasure working with Peter and Tregg.

I planned to sell my condo in Westwood, Los Angeles, CA. I had never sold a house before, so I met and interviewed 3 real estate agents/groups of agents who have experience selling in the Westwood area. Tregg Rustad and his group were the agents I selected after the interviews. This was because they were the most organized, got information to me early to review, had the best ideas for marketing my place, and also listened to my concerns about what I wanted done to show the place to the best advantage. While a lot of what real estate agents do is standard across the board, what stands out about this group is that they really tailor the process to best show your home. For example, they saw one of my pictures of a spectacular sunset from my roof deck, and not only used it along with their professional photographer’s photos but also mentioned it in the listing. This type of attention to deta…

This type of attention to detail really stood out for me. In addition, they were there every step of the process, responding to emails, calls, or texts quickly, and explaining each step of the process or how to deal with any issues that arose during offers and then during escrow. I received a much higher price for my unit than I expected, which was a welcome surprise. These things, along with the fact that Tregg managed to make what is a very stressful experience much easier throughout the entire process, and made this actually a fun and interesting experience.

I would like to offer my enthusiastic recommendation of the team of Maurice & Rustad to everyone looking for real estate representation. As the owner of personal and investment residential real estate, I find these two gentlemen indispensable allies in my transactions and have yet to find their equal when working with real estate professionals out-of-state. Peter’s and Tregg’s substantial experiences in the field are reflected in their fluency in real estate procedures, market trends, contract strategies, and the “nuts and bolts” of the deal that always seem so foreign to me. I feel, however, their greatest strength lies in combining that detailed knowledge with an intuitive feel for human behavior and the subtle art of successful negotiation. Simply put, they have the best instincts in town! Over the course of our association, Peter and Tregg have guided me through two very challenging …

I feel, however, their greatest strength lies in combining that detailed knowledge with an intuitive feel for human behavior and the subtle art of successful negotiation. Simply put, they have the best instincts in town! Over the course of our association, Peter and Tregg have guided me through two very challenging deals where I was on the “wrong” side in terms of power; the first was successfully purchasing a home in a seller’s market where we were one of 14 offers on the house, the second successfully closing the sale of income property in a buyer’s market complicated by the 2008 housing meltdown. In that case, for-sale properties were languishing all over town, but Peter’s and Tregg’s savvy assessment of the situation and smart course of action was responsible for garnering five offers within a week of listing. They studiously advised me throughout a difficult escrow that repeatedly threatened to fall apart, and ultimately achieved a purchase price in line with my initial expectations. I couldn’t have kept that escrow on track without them. I’m looking forward to the next occasion when I can be represented by Peter Maurice and Tregg Rustad, and encourage you to take advantage of this talented team as well.

My wife and I left our initial interview with Tregg impressed by his confidence, knowledge, and attention to detail, but it wasn’t until we got into the actual process of selling our condo that we realized what a tremendous choice we had made. His intelligence, savvy, experience, confidence, and sophistication all came into play throughout our selling experience. For every question or situation that arose Tregg always presented us with multiple solutions from which we could decide. On top of that Tregg would, upon our request, always communicate which solution he felt would best suit our needs, and for every situation, we ended up following through on Tregg’s advice. His advice was 100% correct each and every time, and it is impossible to overestimate how much potential stress this averted.

We were extremely fortunate to have chosen Tregg Rustad as our agent for the sale of our Westwood condominium. His professionalism, dedication, skill, and responsiveness placed him, leagues, ahead of any other real estate agent we had worked within the past. When unexpected problems arose, as they often do during a real estate transaction, he remained calm, reassuring, and ready to deal with any challenge. He went above and beyond the call of duty every single time, remarkably so, even during this difficult time of the pandemic. Mostly, though, we would like to stress his impeccable ethics, honesty, and good common sense throughout the negotiations and sale transactions. He ended up representing both us, the sellers, as well as the buyers and, despite our initial worries about such an arrangement, found it to be a great plus in the end.

My husband and I have worked with Peter since 2011. In that time we have successfully sold and acquired multiple properties in the Los Angeles area. In each transaction, Peter's commitment to the process has been nothing short of impressive. In our experience, Peter wants to make sure his clients are educated about the market and the steps of buying and selling property. This has been invaluable because it's helped us make decisions with confidence. We recently completed a 1031 exchange. Competition in the market made closing on an exchange property during our allotted time proved very challenging. We were in and out of multiple properties due to the competition. Peter's attention to our needs was outstanding. He helped us wade through the process until we found a property that fit our needs beautifully. Peter's attention to detail in a purchase process is also worth commenting upon. He …

We strongly recommend Peter Maurice. After 6 successful deals in 5 years, we can't imagine working with anyone else.

Tregg Rustad is the epitome of a great real estate agent. After working with another agent for one year we looked long and hard for a new agent that was professional, smart, patient, honest, hard-working, a good negotiator, and most importantly– trustworthy. Tregg came highly recommended by a close friend of ours. After meeting with Tregg for the first time, we knew he was going to be the right agent for us. We were right, after a little over eight months we bought a home. We are having a housewarming party next week and Tregg was the first person on the guest list. Real estate agents make money if you buy or sell your home. They don’t make money showing you homes, doing research, calling agents, calling mortgage brokers, scheduling inspectors, etc. Nevertheless, Tregg did all of this and more. He never pressured us to buy. In fact, it was not rare for Tregg to talk us out of a place, be…

We were right, after a little over eight months we bought a home. We are having a housewarming party next week and Tregg was the first person on the guest list. Real estate agents make money if you buy or sell your home. They don’t make money showing you homes, doing research, calling agents, calling mortgage brokers, scheduling inspectors, etc. Nevertheless, Tregg did all of this and more. He never pressured us to buy. In fact, it was not rare for Tregg to talk us out of a place, because he just didn’t think it was right for us. We were not easy clients! There were about six people involved in our decision to buy a home. Tregg spoke to all six people regularly, even when he was on vacation. Moreover, we were not the most decisive clients. We were in escrow on multiple homes which we backed out of before we finally settled on the right home. Once we finally found the right place, thanks to Tregg, our escrow period moved very smoothly. However, in the eleventh hour, there was a huge issue (which had nothing to do with Tregg). At this point, Tregg went from a great agent to an amazing agent. This “issue” demanded endless phone calls, letters, inspections, meetings, etc. to get the sale of the home to close on time (or at all for that matter). Tregg made the sale happen and he made it happen on time! We live in Southbay which is not even Tregg’s area of expertise (we originally planned on buying in West LA); nevertheless, we would never even think of using another agent when we sell our current home or buy our next home. In looking for homes for just about two years we met a lot of real estate agents. Many of them are totally unprofessional shady characters! Tregg is a breath of fresh air and truly fantastic at his job. And, he cares about you and your interests! Oh, by the way, he is a total closet contractor and interior decorator. Thus, if you want ideas about remodeling, furnishing, painting, etc. Tregg is your guy!

I have worked with Peter now on two properties. I can't imagine buying a property without his counsel. He is a buyer's rep and never loses sight of that. He convinced me to do multiple inspections in order to bring the price down. And those multiple inspections brought the price to a place where I could complete the transactions (I was tentative about spending the money for these inspections). He was available to me at all times during escrow and since escrow has closed (6 weeks), he has continued to be available to me for advice as to everything from contracting to working with tenants. I have referred multiple family members and friends to Peter and his team and all have been happy with his work. In my family alone, my parents, my sister and I have all purchased properties sold one family property using Peter and his team. In each transaction, Peter was accessible and professional. I'm…

Tregg Rustad has been my Realtor® for 16 years and I have purchased and sold three homes with him. It wasn’t just a coincidence that I’ve worked with Tregg for all of these purchases and sellers exchanges. He is the consummate professional and is beyond engaged in the selling or purchasing of your home. Tregg is personable, intuitive, attentive, responsive and you always have the feeling you are his only client and the most important. Regardless of the size of the home you are selling or purchasing, Tregg treats you with the highest respect and treats everyone from the other party’s agent to business managers, to inspection personnel with patience, kindness and refers equally professional people to carry out these tasks. He is keen on the best times to sell, buys and how best to appeal to the other seller or buyer's needs to make the sale the best for his clients and all parties involved…

We’ve bought and sold a number of homes over the past 20 years and each time we asked Peter and Tregg to be our realtors. While anyone can help you sell or buy a house, having individuals who are at the top of their industry truly makes a marked difference when it comes to the details. Peter and Tregg have built a team that provides a comprehensive concierge service that takes away the pain points and handles the ugly surprises that always seem to accompany a real estate transaction. Peter and Tregg take the time to understand what your goals (and hopes and dreams) are for the transaction and bring their decades of experience to the table to develop a plan founded on what is reasonable and actually achievable. There is nothing worse than a realtor that overpromises and under delivers. Peter and Tregg have never let us down and are true experts at what they do. This team of professionals …
