We had the pleasure of working with Lars as our real estate agent when we decided to sell our home and buy a new one simultaneously, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. Lars is the epitome of the real estate professional that you want on your side.

First and foremost, Lars is incredibly responsive. In a world where quick communication is key, Lars never left us waiting. Whether it was a question, concern, or just a general update, he was always just a call or text away, making the entire process feel seamless and stress-free (as stress free as buying and selling a home can be)

Lars not only knows the real estate business inside and out but also has an in-depth understanding of the Southern California area. He guided us through a wide geographical range, from Bellflower to Orange County and Corona, and his knowledge of these regions proved invaluable. With Lars as our agent, we felt confident in our choices, knowing that he had a comprehensive understanding of the neighborhoods we were exploring.

One of Lars' standout qualities is his vast network of recommended vendors. We took his advice and used these vendors to update, photograph, and stage our home. The results were astounding; our home sold for significantly more than we had anticipated, thanks to Lars' connections and recommendations. He came to our home and provided us with a simple, custom list of ways to increase our home's value, highlighting quick fixes that ended up with us listing and selling our home for much more than it would have otherwise.

Lars also took the time to educate us about contract terms and intricacies, ensuring that we felt comfortable with the monumental decisions we were making. His patience and willingness to answer our questions made us feel empowered throughout the buying and selling process.

Lars exceeded our expectations as a real estate agent. He made a complex process feel straightforward and guided us through every step with professionalism and expertise. We wholeheartedly recommend Lars to anyone in need of a real estate agent in Southern California; you won't be disappointed.

Our family is so fortunate to have found Lars Nordstrom and First Team Real Estate. From our very first meeting, we felt like they were true partners. And throughout the sale and purchase journey, they would prove it again and again.

On the purchase side, Lars' familiarity with the local market was invaluable. Our specific goals and needs made the tight inventory feel even tighter, but steadfast and ever-optimistic, Lars and First Team helped us find exactly the kind of home we wanted, in just the right neighborhood—without stretching our budget!

As listing agents, First Team's marketing and staging expertise got us TOP DOLLAR for our humble townhouse. We were simply blown away! We know Lars and the team will work just as hard for you as they did for us.

My family and I had the daunting task of selling my mother’s home due to her passing. Lars Nordstrom was highly recommended by a colleague of mine and we could not have found a more trustful and enjoyable real estate agent to represent us. Given the inherent stress of the situation, Lars navigated us through this process with his experience, positivity, and humor.

He prepared us with honest and knowledgeable market information, a variety of marketing options, and reasoning so my siblings and I could make the best possible choice. Lars was always available to answer any of our questions that arose from time to time.

When it came time to prep the house for listing, Lars and his team worked hard to make our house the best it could be. His use of staging, photos, and 3d images helped create a house that anyone could see themselves living in. In the end, the house sold in less than a week! We had nine offers and sold the house for $36,000 over the asking price!

The entire process took a year and a half from the time we first spoke until my siblings and I were ready to list the property and Lars was there every step of the way! I can’t recommend Lars and his team enough and will always be grateful I found a gem of a real estate agent!

I was referred to Lars from my brother who also worked with him in buying his new home. Lars is a great agent to work with who listened to my concerns and wants for a new home. Because of his experience in upgrading and selling clients' homes; he is very knowledgeable in what to look out for when we were visiting homes, such as HVAC, plumbing, and even laundry connections and giving suggestions on how items can be fixed later on. When negotiating with the seller, he was firm and thought of unique ways to try to help my situation in getting a lower price point. Overall, I highly recommend checking Lars and his team out whether buying or selling!

Lars Nordstrom is an excellent Real Estate Agent. He is one of the "good guys."

Lars was very helpful when selling our family home. He was professional, knowledgeable, hard working and attentive to our needs and very helpful during the entire process.

Lars was recommended to us by a neighbor and from the first meeting, it was a good fit for our needs. He listened to our seller expectations and provided an expert's view of what would make our house more attractive to prospective buyers.

Lars has amazing resources. He provided us with proven contacts for suggested upgrades for the home. While not major construction, this resulted in sensible and effective investments for selling the home. Lars offered his professional opinions on how to best sell the house, while being sensitive to our wishes. Due to his diligence, attention to process, and strong knowledge of real estate sales - online and traditional; we quickly had five offers on the house.

Lars was very skillful in providing the best showcasing for the house to sell. He knows that one is selling more than just a house. When presenting a house, Lars includes the neighborhood, the school district - all the items that also make a house attractive to a buyer. The listing photos of the house were excellent and included several effective (drone-executed) overhead photos.

The real estate offers and resulting escrow experience were easy to navigate due to Lars diligent assistance. Lars and his team of associates were always available for questions and to provide clarifications. My phone calls and texts were always promptly and kindly returned. Excellent communication is one of Lars many virtues. While professional, Lars is also friendly, approachable and dependable. When I spoke with him on the phone and in person, I never felt rushed.

Lars proved to be an excellent choice for selling my family home.
As I said before, Lars Nordstrom is definitely one of the "good guys"!

As first-time home-buyers, my husband and I were a little intimidated by all of the steps and paperwork that we knew we’d have to navigate. Lucky for us, Lars consistently went above and beyond to make this process feel manageable for us at every turn. From sitting down to talk us through the details of our initial offer letter, to negotiating a lower offer price on our behalf, to giving great recommendations for contractors, Lars was more than happy to step in and be of service in whatever way we needed.

Another trait we admired about Lars was his responsiveness. Whenever we had a question, he’d fire off a quick reply through email, text, or phone. He was also quick to keep us in the loop about any important developments or updates regarding homes we were interested in.

What’s more, Lars had an encyclopedic knowledge about the housing market and home-buying process. Whenever we came across a home that we liked, he could tell us about the housing market in that area, useful details about the surrounding community, important features to look for in a house, and even the quality of plumbing in a given home. He could answer ANY question we brought up, which put us at ease when we had to make quick and important decisions.

Lars is also a real estate agent with a tremendous amount of integrity. When showing us houses, he would give us his honest opinion as well as any information he had about the property that we wouldn’t have otherwise known. He even worked hard to negotiate a lower price on the home we ended up buying, bringing it below the listing price by $20,000.

If you want a seamless home buying process and a knowledgeable real estate agent who can answer any of your questions, we strongly recommend that you hire Lars!

Thank you Lars and team.

After 39 years in our house, we fell in love with large, single story beautiful house. We called Lars and his team to help with the offer and also with the sale of our house.

Lars is a total professional, talks honestly with you, very helpful, very knowledgeable in real estate negotiation and is truly a pleasure to do business with. With his preparation suggestions we were able to get offers on the first open house. We always felt he was negotiating for us.

Lars also has an amazing full service team. With the sale of our house and purchase of our new home, Lars' team helped in every step of the way. His team includes staging, professional photography that even uses drones, a loan service company and an escrow company. They all work together in a coordinated way and always kept us up to date.

We met Lars a few years and he helped us buy our first home. He made the process so smooth and any questions we had, he answered quickly and efficiently. We were both happy with the service. One day, we decided to look at an open house nearby and fell in love with the house. Immediately, we texted Lars that we needed something bigger as our family was growing. Lars and Bethany represented us as both a seller and buyer and it was truly and awesome experience. This was our first time selling our home so we were a little nervous about it. Lars explained the process in a way that definitely showed his expertise in real estate. Even after escrow closed on our new home, we are still in contact with Lars for recommendation and such. Highly recommend Lars & Bethany!
