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.
Sincerely, Richard F.
William J. – attorney with a top-rated nationwide law firm.
I’m a real estate attorney with an Am Law 100 firm. I’ve known Jeff Goodman for 30 years. He has represented me in the acquisition of my home, the purchase of a 1031 exchange property, the sale of land in Beverly Hills, and the leasing of two residences. Jeff is what’s known in the law as sui generis (Latin for “one of a kind”).
Unlike all of the other real estate brokers I’ve encountered over the years, Jeff is interested in doing the right thing for his client. He is guided by a strong sense of ethics, and he simply doesn’t participate in any of the games and artifices that other brokers engage in. He is smart (a UC Berkley grad), responsive, trustworthy, reliable and a pleasure to work with. You won’t find another broker of Jeff’s caliber to represent you in a residential real estate transaction.
From Indridi I. - Regarding the Purchase of a Condo in Downtown LA
As a first-time buyer, I consider myself lucky to have had Jeff as an agent to guide me through the whole process. It was a real pleasure to work with Jeff and he made sure everything worked smoothly and efficiently. Jeff really took the time to understand what I was looking for and was very careful in making sure the unit I looked at suited my needs; it was very clear that Jeff didn’t just care about finding a condo but also about me being happy with my purchase.
It was definitely helpful to have the advice of someone more familiar with the market when I was tempted to rush into something that came close but wasn’t quite what I wanted. The only real downside of having completed the purchase of the condo is that I no longer have the occasion to chat with Jeff!

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.
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!
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.
