The Katz Group - Compass - Calabasas, California

Karla R.

This review has been a long time coming, and it feels like a love letter to Kara and Michael Katz. After two years of starting and stopping our search for the perfect home—and navigating the challenges of selling during fluctuating interest rates—we found the deal on our dream home. Through it all, Kara and Michael were right there beside us.

They showed us every four-bedroom house from Toluca Lake to Woodland Hills, working tirelessly to help us find a home that met our high standards. Kara connected with agents to get the full story on every house, while their deep knowledge of the Valley and stellar reputation opened doors we couldn’t have reached on our own.

When it came time to sell our home, Kara and Michael didn’t just list it; they worked tirelessly to find the right buyer. From open houses to countless showings, their dedication paid off. Selling wasn’t easy—there were setbacks along the way—but they remained steady and supportive throughout the process.

If you’re buying or selling in the Valley, don’t look anywhere else. Kara and Michael never rushed us or pushed us to settle. Thanks to them, we found our dream home, and we hope others are just as fortunate.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Exceptional Experience with Michael Katz and the Katz Group!**

My wife Natalie and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Michael Katz to find our perfect rental home, and we can't say enough good things about him! From start to finish, the experience was **flawless**. Michael’s professionalism is unmatched—he’s not only incredibly resourceful and knowledgeable about the market, but also genuinely kind and positive throughout the entire process.

Michael made everything easy and stress-free for us, guiding us with expert advice and going above and beyond to ensure we found exactly what we were looking for. His dedication and positive energy made the experience invaluable. If you're reading this and looking for a realtor, **stop searching, stop thinking, hire Michael immediately**—you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you, Michael, for everything! 🙌

My wife and I just bought our very first condo in an incredibly competitive market amid the highest interest rate environment in the last 20 years, and choosing the Katz team was the best decision we could have made. Their knowledge, expertise, and commitment to their clients were apparent from the very first phone call and reaffirmed time and again over the months we worked with them to find our home. Michael and his team were always responsive and patient no matter how many questions or scenarios we threw at them, taking the time to simplify complex legal jargon and explain nuances of the home-buying process. They listened and understood exactly what we wanted, and unquestionably had our best interests at heart. We especially appreciated how forthright and honest they were, always telling us "how it is" and what to expect so there were no surprises. They truly care about their relationships with their clients - we closed escrow a month ago and still receive texts checking in on our renovation progress and offering assistance with Escrow. I would highly recommend Michael, Kara, and their team to anyone. I am 100% confident they will exceed your expectations.

Kara and Michael are wonderful at what they do! We cannot recommend them highly enough. Kara has such a vibrant and wonderful personality, and we felt immediate trust that she cared about our home search and didn’t just look at us like another transaction. Even in such a competitive market, we closed fast - and the handling of the offer and all of the contingencies along the way was kind, informative, and a breeze. There’s a lot of stress in the buying process, but as first time homebuyers, we felt like we were in great hands — truly no question was unanswered, and there was no ego. Kara was honest and considered our goals, our tastes and needs, and our finances — and she worked well with our lender and kept us on a great timeline! We will recommend Kara and Michael to all of our friends — just like they were recommended to us!

My experience working with Kara and Michael was THE BEST! My girlfriend and I were looking to buy our first condo, and we couldn't have chosen a better agent. They were available to us all the time, super responsive, and held our hand every step of the way as first time buyers. They quickly felt like great friends who truly cared about our search. Their negotiation skills were amazing and when we found the one, they made sure we got it - despite the crazy market we're in. If you want the most hard-working, caring, and knowledgable realtors, Kara and Michael are that.

My girlfriend and I started our search for property for the first time in a very tough market. We had 2 real estate agents before we come across Kara and Michael and I have to say, working with them was the decision that made our dream of buying a home possible. Kara and Michael are the best for many reasons but mostly because they actually work as a team، they are dedicated, creative and are always available to support their clients. They were communicating with us even during their holidays!

Buying a real estate can be a very stressful and long process but with a good agent it can be one of the most enjoyable journeys of your life. This is exactly how we felt throughout the experience we had with Kara and Michael.

They helped us every time an unexpected issue arose and represented us very well to get it taken care of.

We were targeting a few areas of Los Angeles and they covered all of them. Our favorite was (and still is) Studio City, where the real state competition is fierce. But thanks to these amazing agents we are living there now!

In this very competitive market, Kara and Michael stand out due to their creative strategies. They helped us to get our offer accepted before showings were even started. The sellers decided to pause the showings for some reason but with Kara and Michael making good communication with the selling agent, we were able to place our offer and get it accepted before even seeing the property! This was risky but with good agent's mentorship it became a measured risk.

We definitely would recommend Kara and Michael to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. We really feel fortunate because we got to know them and we would definitely contact them again regarding all our real estate needs.

Kara and Mike are seriously the dream team. When I used them to help me sell my home in Los Angeles, everything went seamlessly due to their extreme diligence. These two pay attention to every single detail and don't let anything slip through the cracks. On top of that, they're amazing people that became our friends through the process and we knew we could call them at any point if we had questions, comments and/or concerns! When our house was listed (after Mike and Kara set up the furniture staging/photos/listing), we got an offer within 24 hours and I truly believe it's because these two work with the best, in order for their clients to receive the best! I couldn't recommend Kara and Mike more.

I worked with Dana Rosen and she was amazing. She listened to me and my needs and then went above and beyond working to get me what I wanted the way I wanted it.

I have become so accustomed to fighting with real estate agents over what I want to offer and what I want to ask for and with Dana it was just smooth sailing. She respected my ideas she gave great advice, she worked hard to make me and my family happy and get us the best house for us.

I have never met a more responsive competent and professional real estate agent.

Thank God I found her she was a Godsend.
