"The purchase of our first home was an exciting, yet at times daunting experience. Working with Barry helped make the process a smooth and positive one. Barry provided us with tremendous insight into the neighborhood in which we were interested - far beyond what we could obtain with diligent online research - and was quick to understand what we were looking for in a home. We never felt rushed or pressured to make any decisions, and felt comfortable throughout the entire process. Moreover, Barry always made himself available to us, and was prompt to address our questions, even following the close of escrow. Buying a home is an important decision, and we felt confident working with an agent who always kept our best interests in mind. "

"I am happy to provide this letter of recommendation for Barry Host and George Rosenkranz regarding their services as real estate representatives in the South Bay. I have engaged Barry and George as a buyer’s representative on two separate transactions within the past several years, both in Hermosa Beach, and both of which left me highly satisfied with the experience and with their services. Regardless of which path the transactions appeared to be moving, they were extremely professional throughout, and their advice was always geared toward protecting my own interests. Barry and George clearly have a high level of integrity and are dedicated to their work, which comes through when working with them on a transaction. In my latest purchase, I was on the road several different times through the course of the inspection/contingency period, and Barry helped manage the process seamlessly, coordinating all facets of the process and checking in with me for all decisions. They also have their pulse on the market at all times, which can help when trying to wrestle down off-market properties or interested buyers. Barry and George found our most recent property in an off-market transaction, which enabled us to get into a great walk street location without introducing others into the bidding. I would highly recommend them as real estate representatives and would be happy to give verbal references as well."

"Barry and George are true professionals, not only pricing our home so it sold quickly, showing us a variety of properties to purchase, researching comparisons and listening to the needs we had, but their network of contacts from inspectors to contractors minimized our ‘hands on’ involvement, so that we could continue with our busy work schedules. After the sale, their follow up proved to be hassle free until all the details were finalized. Their local knowledge of both the beach cities and PV assured us that we had all the information to make the most critical decisions. We would definitely use their services again."

"George and Barry have acted as real estate brokers for my husband and me in both the purchase and sale of our current home. Working with them on both occasions has been an absolute pleasure. No detail was too small to deserve their full attention and they were extremely responsive and proactive throughout the transaction. George and Barry always keep their clients’ wishes and goals firmly in mind and you can see the satisfaction they derive from knowing they have negotiated the best deal for their clients. "

"Working with Barry and George has been a pleasure. They were recommended by a friend of mine and I was pleased I was introduced to them. Their work ethic, knowledge and fun attitude took the stress out of finding and purchasing my home. I would definitely use them again."

"My wife and I worked with George and Barry for over a year to find the right home. They figured out exactly what we wanted before we even knew ourselves. Working as a team, they provide a deep street-by-street knowledge of all the neighborhoods. From recommending schools, assisting with financial paperwork, and many other side services, Barry and George made our relocation smooth and enjoyable. I offer my highest recommendations and have recently begun working with them again to identify some investment properties. Although I'm sure they hope my next purchase takes less than a year, I have no doubt they will work hard until I am satisfied."

"This letter of recommendation is being written on behalf of Georgiana Rosenkranz and Barry Host with South Bay Brokers. Since listing our home at 2312 Via La Brea in Palos Verdes Estates, CA with George and Barry, we have been very pleased with their efforts related to the listing, marketing, promotion and showing of our home. George and Barry are very communicative, detail oriented, organized, straight forward, work hard and handle themselves as real estate professionals. In addition, George and Barry are very respectful of any specific wishes and/or requests that we have, and always leave our home after a showing in the same manner that it was prior to the showing. They put forth the extra effort, even going so far as to water our outside plants when we were on vacation. For anyone who is looking for professional, intelligent and hardworking real estate brokers, Georgiana Rosenkranz and Barry Host are that team."
~ All the best, T Ramos, Palos Verdes Estates
