Closed Transactions

Couldn't be happier with Amir and the Esquire Real Estate Brokerage! He made the whole process stress-free and patiently answered all our questions. He's thorough, efficient and an all round pleasure to work with! Highly recommend.

I had a condo in San Diego that I wanted to sell as quickly as possible and needed someone I could trust due to my crazy work schedule. Amir was super friendly and his expert knowledge helped make this whole process run smoothly. From the start, he explained what was going to happen in the next 4 weeks and was very thorough in explaining parts of the contracts I did not understand. He made himself available through phone and email and would check in with me every week. Amir made this experience hassle-free. I would absolutely use Amir as my realtor again in selling/buying my next home!

An amazingly stress-free experience! Amir was recommended to us by a friend who also used him to purchase their home. Amir helped us sell ours. Amir has a laid-back personality but is incredibly efficient in his work, it is truly the best of both worlds! He was always readily available if we had any random questions and was super helpful helping us get the house ready to sell. He even had really great recommendations for cleaning and a handyman-it was basically full service all around. When it came time to pick a buyer, he was not pushy and listened to our concerns. He was a great advisor without pushing us to do something we weren't ready for. And in the end, we got an amazing price for our home!! I would absolutely use him again (if I had another house to sell-haha!) and would highly recommend him.

My husband and I have both bought several homes, even in heated real estate markets, but this market is where the rubber meets the road with real estate agents, you don't just need one, you need a fantastic one. Amir went over and above at every step. From the start, he took the time to listen to our wants/needs/budget and lifestyle. He recommended areas we might not have considered. He was the calm, cool, and collected we needed while navigating us through the stressful and emotional experience. There's no doubt in my mind that  we wouldn't have our dream house today if it weren't for Amir. Few agents would have gone through the effort he went through, and that's the difference in this market. It's not that hard to FIND homes, it's hard to GET a home right now and that's where Amir shined for us. He communicated with our mortgage broker, he communicated with the seller's agent, he communicated with us. He did everything in his power to ease the process. Here's another difference: after the close and during the leaseback, Amir was right there at every step. That's not always the case with some agents. And when it was all said and done, he was the first to celebrate with us. On top of all this, he's the nicest person. I recommend Amir to anyone in any Los Angeles area looking for an outstanding agent. So if you actually want to buy a house, you want to buy with Amir.

Amir was fantastic! Great insights. Professional. Trustworthy. Incredibly responsive. Truly invested in making sure our goals were being met.  Cannot recommend him enough. We went into contract roughly a week after listing, largely after following Amir's advice on the listing price. He addressed all of our questions with incredible patience.

Hard to know how to write a yelp review for such an important service like buying a home but here goes nothing: I was introduced to Amir through some very close friends who had used him to help purchase a home several years ago. I was looking to make a move from SF to LA to be closer to my family in the middle of a global pandemic with a tight budget. Being a lawyer gave me a ton of confidence in Amir's attention to detail and he did not disappoint. He arranged for every detail throughout the process and was an absolutely crystal clear communicator the whole way through. Although I was based out of SF the entire time and only came down for a few key moments I felt very present in the process and it went off without a hitch. He also connected me to a bunch of wonderful people to take care of every detail that didn't fit his job description, including a mortgage broker whom I also loved working with. I can't recommend him enough. In addition to being incredible at his job he's also an amazing human being. Thanks Amir!

Amir recently helped us in purchasing a home, and he was such a great representative / agent for us during the home viewing and purchasing process. Since we were viewing and visiting homes during the heart of COVID quarantine, it was imperative that everything was managed with extra care to ensure all around safety. After our we found our dream home, Amir was instrumental in the offer strategy and negotiation aspects of the deal. He added extra levels of comfort by being present all the way through any inspections, repairs, and finally closing of the house. Have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Amir. Never felt pressured to spend over our budget, to settle on any desired features, or to accept anything that compromised safety during viewing and buying. Would recommend him for anyone looking for their home purchase!

My husband and I bought our first home in the middle of a global pandemic...we had no idea what we were doing as first time home buyers and the situation with COVID was unprecedented. So we were a little nervous about making such a huge life decision. But Amir was truly amazing. He made the process enjoyable and low stress and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Amir is one of those rare people who is super detail oriented but also easygoing. It makes him fun to work with but at the same time you don't have to ever worry that he will miss anything. Because not only will he not miss anything, Amir will go above and beyond for his clients. When we were first interested in our now current home after just seeing the listing online, Amir went to the open house on his own and unprompted because he knew we would love it and he wanted to be prepared to give his opinion. Less than 24 hours later he had put together a spreadsheet analyzing comparable homes in the area to help inform our price range for the offer. During the escrow process Amir read every last tine of every contract and was super clear with us what everything meant. And even after we closed, Amir has been checking up on us to make sure everything is just right, from getting our mail sorted out, to getting our refund from escrow, to having the contact info for a fantastic handyman. I honestly wish I could buy a house every year just to get a chance to hang out with Amir more often - I can promise you that choosing Amir as your realtor will be the best decision you make in the homebuying process.

There aren't enough compliments to say about Amir Torkamani and Esquire Real Estate Brokerage.  He was a steady rock through a difficult process of buying our first home.  He is beyond patient and took his time to really get to know us and our wants and needs, never applying any pressure at all through the process.  His disposition is so calming, and he was always available for every question no matter how big or small and very thorough in his explanations about the whole process from search to bidding to escrow to inspections to various negotiations and finally, to move in. He also helped save us a substantial sum by providing expert strategy during our bidding process. We cannot imagine how we would have gotten through this so smoothly without Amir's deft handling of all matters - including making a trek to the city records office to obtain additional details about the home we wanted. We recommend Amir Torkamani to all of our family and friends and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

My wife and I just closed on our first house & we couldn't have been represented by an agent better than Amir. We first met with him over lunch ~9 months ago & he asked lots of good questions to understand our interests, which allowed us to zero in on a few neighborhoods at a certain price point. Importantly, he also understood our timeline, which wasn't urgent. Over the next few months, he occasionally sent a listing he thought might intrigue us. These little bites were helpful in narrowing our focus, illuminating preferences we didn't know we had up front, such as having all the bedrooms on a single level (#kids). Amir struck the perfect balance of being useful without ever being overbearing...and I'm the kind of person who would move on to another agent at the first sign of pushiness. As we accelerated our search, Amir was accessible whenever we wanted him to check out a property -- either with us or on his own -- which allowed us to pressure-test our thinking. For the handful of homes that really interested us, he was quick to pull comps to provide a sense of what would be a competitive offer. When we finally found our house, he gave great advice on how to structure the offer (escalator clause, waiving a contingency) to make it more appealing to the seller -- which ended up being central to our bid being accepted! Finally, as others have noted, Amir's easygoing personality made the escrow process much less intimidating. He recommended professionals to conduct all the needed inspections, negotiated a credit for needed repairs, and walked us through the mountains of documentation we needed to sign. Buying a house should be a joyful experience & Amir was central to making that a reality for us. We couldn't recommend him -- as an agent and as a person -- more highly.
