I really needed some expert advice with buying our first home in Los Angeles. Ian Brooks was able to guide me and my husband through the process of a first time home buyer. He showed us homes that were not just in our price range, but the styles we wanted and closer to our work as well. We really appreciate Ian's follow up phone calls and emails too. He was very helpful and attentive to our needs and questions! Thanks for your help, Ian!

Ian Brooks is amazing. Quite simply, Ian is the man. I have not met an agent that cares more about their clients than does Ian. Your interest comes first and he knows LA better than anyone. He will ALWAYS answer his phone and/or text about any questions right away. ALWAYS! Guy loves his job and is amazing at it. He even basically interior designed my house for me and brought his own art/accent pieces to save me money on staging. Even though I ended up pulling my home off the market (decided not to sell it), I still reach out to Ian for real estate advice and always get a speedy and thoughtful response. If I decide to list my house for sale again, Ian's my guy!

Ian consulted with me regarding selling a house. Ian is very knowledgeable, professional, and very easy to work with. He explained all of the ins and outs of selling a house, and helped me great ready understand how this process works.

Ian Brooks has been our real estate professional for many years and has handled well over a dozen transactions for us. He is an absolute All-Star.He is very well educated both in the liberal arts (including several languages, which is handy when dealing with foreign prospects for sale or lease because it puts them immediately at ease and ready to do business) and the realities of the business world.But his strongest asset is his insight into the practicalities that make people tick.In his latest transaction for us he both steered us away from a potentially catastrophic proposed tenant (gaining insight because his French was superior to that of the prospect) and to a jewel who might have been overlooked because he had recently been overextended due to having volunteered to assume obligations in a family crises that were not his to pay but had overcome the obstacles and was back on an even financial keel.The prospect is now a gem of a tenant.This wasn’t a sob story but, instead, the exercise in both professional thoroughness and keen personal insight.In that particular case it didn’t hurt that he spoke fluent Spanish, the tenant’s first language.Anyone retaining Ian Brooks is getting the full package, personal and professional.You should be so lucky.

Ian Brooks is one of the best in the business. Super knowledgeable. Ian is fluent in multiple languages. He cares deeply about his clients and prides himself on going above and beyond. His personality and energy is infectious. Highly recommend Ian for all your Real Estate needs. Bravo!

My first time working with Ian and he was a real professional. He guided both me and the seller through an extraordinarily difficult transaction.You are in good hands with Ian.

Ian's expertise, knowledge, diligence and guidance is truly exceptional when it comes to working with clients as a realestate agent. He recently assisted a neighbor sell his condominium in Santa Monica, and is assisting a friend prepare a Malibu home for market.I highly reccomend Ian. Very professional and effective.

Ian Brooks is the best realtor! He has guided us through 2 purchases and 1 sale in the past 3 years.Ian went above and beyond for each of these transactions.He expertly negotiated with difficult sellers, personally assisted us with cleaning and staging our parents' home, and tirelessly worked to problem-solve when complications arose.Ian has a business/finance degree and he is knowledgeable about every aspect of real estate.He also has a fantastic eye for staging as a result of his extensive design and photography background.Ian is energetic and enthusiastic, and most of all, he loves being a realtor!

Ian is an elite agent, and is also a fun person to work with. His experience and deep market knowledge shows, and he has a exceptional command for market data analytics. Ian is more than willing to get his hands dirty and help with anything to get the job done. His exceptional eye for design was particularly valuable when prepping and staging my place. I used him for my first home sale and couldn’t imagine going with anyone else.

Best real estate I have ever worked with. Knowledgeable, friendly, and straight forward. Always on top of the latest listings, and the current market.

my wife and i managed to purchase our dream home recently, and it would not have been possible without Ian's guidance, expertise, diligence, and professionalism.

Ian has impeccable taste and a great sense of humor, the latter of which was very welcome comic relief on several occasions during the purchasing process.

i found him to be incredibly helpful and communicative. he always returned my calls and messages, sent cards, gifts, etc. even after quite some time has passed since the purchase. his dedication to his clients old and new, as well as his customer service, are unparalleled. he truly goes above and beyond.

i would absolutely recommend his services to others, and will definitely be using him again in the future.

Ian Brooks should have a Doctorate in Real Estate. He took our condo in MDR and transformed it into the show place he knew it could be.We listened and carried out all his suggestions and the place sold before it officially hit the market.Over asking price.

He lives for his clients.He's the only Agent we'll ever work with.This is a special individual.And most important, our Weimaraner Marty loves him!

I would highly recommend him to all sellers, you need this guy! He stops at nothing, takes care of everything, always answers his phone, is experienced, knows this business and is a pleasure to work with! Five stars for Ian Brooks!!

We bought another house with Ian Brooks representing us and he negotiated $30,000 off the final price......great negotiator. Ian is now our friend. Thank YOU Ian Brooks! I would highly recommend Ian to anyone buying or selling a house!!!!!!

Ian Brooks sold my house in 30 days for $50,000 over the asking price!My family was so happy with the way he communicated with us each step of the way. It was the best experience from listing to selling! Ian also found us a new house and gave us several local architects names who made our new house look great and worth a lot more than what we purchased it for! He is wonderful!

Ian Brooks is the BEST realtor I have ever worked with! He found a four unit bulding for me in Venice, where I rent out three units and live in one! The property has almost doubled in value! He was incredible in finding me this property, projecting future value, ( I am two blocks from the beach)! His advice, expertise, contract negotiations have been AMAZING! We have become and remain close friends- I have also sent him my friends( buyers and sellers) who are ALL very pleased with the results! I highly reccomend Ian Brooks to anyone interested in buying and or selling a house!
10 stars for Ian!

Ian Brooks is THE MOST AMAZING REALTOR IN THE WORLD ! He SOLD our house when we were close to foreclosure, leased the house for the new owners, ( who lived out of state) leased us a new house, and SOLD our neighbors house as well! He is a great communicator, works for his clients like I have never seen. His skills in this business blew us away- he had gardeners come over to clear out the landscape, interior decorators over to move the furniture out and around- ( he has extensively studied Feng Shui) and SOLD our house in the first week! Ian also had a color expert recommend what color to use in our foyer! TEN STARS FOR THIS ONE!!!

Ian did a fantastic job assisting me in finding a home. The home was not on the market but Ian had it as a pocket listing.He showed me numerous properties until we arrived at the one I eventually purchased.Ian assisted in negotiations, worked through the closing process and was overall a pleasure to work with.I would not hesitate to recommend Ian as either an agent to list a home or agent to help find the perfect home.

Ian Brooks is one of the most talented realtors in Los Angeles real estate today. His marketing skills and ability to expose properties to the right clients - often very high end and exclusive, is second to none.He has consistently gotten the highest prices for homes in various different market areas - he is not limited to one specific neighborhod.It is highly unusual that an agent can be this strong in even one area, but Ian's marketing savvy and negotiating skills clearly set him apart. I work with hundreds of real estate professionals, and am consistently impressed with Ian Brook's results for his clients.

Great agent! Alway available and willing to show properties and once our sales transaction began, Ian carried the ball and handled everything proactively, ensuring everything was on time and nothing slipped trough the cracks

Simply put, Ian Brooks is the best real estate agent I have ever used. He sold our house in a very tough market well within the amount of time we needed. Ian is the consummate professional; always on time, always keeping us informed, and always available quickly for any questions we had.

I had a unique property that needed a buyer that could understand the potential. Ian did an excellent job marketing the property ,finding that buyer and guiding me through the process. He definitely fought hard to get us the right buyer and the highest price. No shortage of energy that's for sure. Job well done I would recommend him

Ian made the process of selling my house (a difficult personal decision for me) so effortless I keep pinching myself. From being patient, compassionate and quite funny to jumping in and putting hours of manual labor in to get my property looking great. I have met Ian several times at his office at 10pm or 11 pm to talk and to go through paper work, he never complained in fact he was happy to do it if that helped me. He works tirelessly on the behalf of his clients and truly loves his job. There are not enough stars on the rating scale above to accurately reflect how great Ian is. I hope everyone is lucky enough to have a agent like Ian.

Mr. Brooks has my perfect confidence. He closed a recent sale of a Santa Monica home without as much as a hi-cough through the entire transaction.(Single family home North of Montana near the canyon) Top notch in service and attention to detail. Proud of his work, and instilled confidence in the new buyer. It is my pleasure to recommend Ian's work to those in the Santa Monica(westside) area be they buyers or sellers

Ian works very hard, and was able to get me the highest price possible on the home I sold. He walked me through getting the house ready, and then did a great job negotiating for me on my behalf.

I have worked with Ian Brooks on multiple projects for over thirty years. This no fear, get it done now in a complete and professional way Realtor is my number one choice here in Southern California.

Ian is a fantastic realtor. He goes the extra mile and works diligently for his client.His suggestions regarding staging and preparing the property were spot on and proved invaluable to getting a buyer for the property.

I met Ian a year ago as a stranger, and the spontaneous conversation we had has stuck with me to this day. Ian gave me a much needed pep talk in regards to a major career pivot I was considering— and because of him I had the guts to take an enormous risk. Now I’m working my dream job in a new industry, and I’m making double than I was just a year ago.

Ian is is one in a million, and his professionalism is matched only by the size of his heart. If you get the opportunity to do with business with him, let alone have a conversation with him, I recommend you don’t pass it up!

Showed us several properties, great market knowledge, local Angelino. He know the market , and inventory. Ian guided us though a intense transaction ( trustee and probate court ) we were victorious. Thank you Ian!!

Professional, educated, knows how and when to negotiate. Best Realtor - period!!

We were looking for a house in Santa Monica - Ian had several off market and pocket listings - we could have never known or seen them.

Ian was the best agent we could have asked for. Buying a home in this market can be tricky because houses are selling so fast but Ian worked hard to make sure that we found the house of our dreams and that we got a deal that worked in our favor. I consider us so blessed to have found him. He is so knowledgeable and really cares about making his clients happy. Anytime I know someone who’s looking to buy a home I will be giving them Ian’s card. The entire buying process was so easy and I know that’s because we had him on our side.
