Testimonials
Here are a few testimonials from Jeffrey Goodman's clients:
From Richard F. - regarding the sale of his home in Santa Monica:
In the course of my real estate experiences, I have always had a resentment over the "exorbitant" commissions paid for the sale of a property. I always equated it to what I had to do to earn that much money. In a recent transaction Jeff Goodman changed my entire attitude. While it was not a complicated sale by any means, there were the usual questions, picky little issues with a tenant, Santa Monica Rent control, etc.
Jeff was truly our representative in this transaction. He handled the entire deal and took the burden off our shoulders. He did all of this in the most professional way I have ever experienced and always conveyed the feeling that he was working in our best interest.
Going back to my original bias, it is reassuring to know that there is professionalism in the real estate business. You are to be congratulated.
Sincerely, Richard F.
From Andrew M. - regarding the sale of his estate home in Westwood:
Dear Jeff,
I felt I had to write a personal note to you to repeat my sincerest and warmest thanks for your invaluable guidance and help during the past eight weeks. You took me on a fascinating learning experience, and even during the less happy parts of the journey I always had confidence it would all end well -- so calming was your presence and leadership throughout.
I appreciate your kind words crediting me as an equal partner in the sale process, but the truth is, it was all your doing, with a single exception: I had one significant role in the event, and that I performed with exceptional skill -- I selected you to represent my family in the sale. I still shudder to think how much worse the whole affair might have turned out if I had gone with one of the other candidates. Fortunately there was never any real question once I had spoken with you, and for that at least I can credit my own sense and sensibility!
I want to invite you to call me any time you wish, whether to talk about business or real estate or about anything else, from shut-off valves to deans, from Bach to Chaucer!....
My very best wishes to you, Andy M.
From George K. – Downtown Condo and sale of Koreatown Apartment Building
We have known Jeff for over 17 years, since he was our realtor in the sale of my Mother-in-law’s house and apartment complex and in the purchase of a condo for her in the Little Tokyo area in 2001. And just last year, in 2017, he helped us again in the sale of the condo. In both projects he was very professional and efficient and conducted the whole procedure in such a gentle and respectful manner such that all parties involved were very happy and satisfied with the eventual results. He is a person you can trust and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Love and light, George K.
From Michael S. - regarding the Purchase and then Sale of his home in Westwood:
Jeffrey Goodman was my real estate broker on two separate occasions. The first was in 2004, when I bought my house in Westwood, the second in 2010, when I was its seller. In both cases I received exemplary representation. He was always highly diligent and responsible and conducted the negotiations in a thoroughly professional way. I always recommend him to all my friends in Southern California.

From Agnes O. - On purchases and sales in Topanga, Westwood, Lake Tahoe, and Bishop
I have worked with Jeffrey Goodman for the past 30 years on various real estate transactions. He is the best agent because he is very thorough, smart, and hard-working. Even on more difficult sales, he never gives up, and works to get the best and most fair result possible. I’ve recommended him many times, and everybody has thanked me and continues to work with Jeffrey.
