- Will and his team were wonderful! The entire team is responsive and very good at what they do. At any time, either Will or his team was able to solve the problem, especially from the tenants, very quickly. Will as an agent is also able to guide us through the complex buying process. I highly recommend them and would give them 10 stars if I could. Thanks Will! You rock.read moreread less
Sevan Gorginian12/14/2022Worked with Ken and Will on my last duplex purchase. First off, market conditions are pretty rough right now and finding an investment property in the SoCal area proves to be near impossible. After months of searching, we finally identified a great deal. Got accepted on the first offer. Ken helped negotiate a very favorable deal in my favor. It was one of the more difficult transactions as the seller did not perform to no fault of ours. Despite that, these two calmly guided me through the turmoil and helped negotiate our way through it to get the deal done. Honestly, I lost my cool a few times and these two professionally kept my eyes on the prize. In the end, it all worked out and I pocketed an extra chunk of change to work on the property.read moreread less

We are so thankful to have found Tiao Properties on Yelp and are happy to write this review. Will Tiao did a phenomenal job helping us sell a multi-family apartment building we inherited and had not personally managed. Not having any real estate experience ourselves, the thought of trying to sell a very old building with long-term tenants and low rents was daunting. But Will's in-depth knowledge of our area and the market, and his personal as well as professional experience in dealing with properties such as ours, inspired our confidence. But before we decided to list with Will we wanted to talk with a few other agents and Will graciously encouraged us to do just that. He was never pushy but was always ready to talk with us and offer his help. As a seller I wanted an agent that I felt comfortable working with but also one that I thought would represent us well to potential buyers. Will was personable and professional and demonstrated solid media and marketing skills. Having interviewed other agents we felt that some wanted to list high because they thought that's what we wanted; others wanted to list low because they saw all the downsides of the property. We felt Will's recommended listing price was the most honest and realistic and based on a strategy which resulted in our final sales price being $200,000 over the listing price. We couldn't have been more pleased. During a crazy seller's market, Will handled the onslaught of calls and offers with ease. He was patient and coached us through the process of selling and doing a 1031 exchange. Will worked diligently to keep the sale moving forward smoothly despite some unexpected glitches. Will has a ready laugh that kept things light when I started to get stressed. Will was definitely a godsend and we highly recommend him and Tiao Properties.read moreread less

We reached out to Tiao Properties to rent our 4 bedroom house in Burbank and instead they sold our house. We could not be more pleased. COVID has created so much disruption and uncertainty for the world. We feel so lucky to have Will and Diana by our side – clearly and confidently navigating us through every step of the sale, managing our expectations, and delivering to them. Back in May, our family bought a house in a different state as an investment property. We were planning to renovate and use it as a rental property. In July, we decided to relocate for the remainder of the summer and invited Will to look at our Burbank home. He felt confident that we could get over the average price of a Burbank rental. Maybe we should consider living in our other home? At the end of the summer, we decided not to return to Burbank. We came back in October to pack up the house and get it ready for rental. Diana did a thorough walk-through of the house. We took all her recommendations for home improvements and her team handled it. After looking at comps and the real estate market, Will encouraged us to sell. We quickly ran the numbers, spoke to our trusted advisors, and agreed.The house was ready for viewing by November. After one open house, we had 4 offers above list price. Will carefully discussed our options, never pushing us in any direction. Granted we were in a situation where there were no bad options, he did a really good job of providing just enough detail for us to see the right option. We completed escrow last week and are now looking for our next investment opportunity. We are very happy with the level of communication, access, and speed at which Tiao Properties responded to our needs. We also really appreciate that they pointed us to a better opportunity when they could have kept us as a customer for a longer period of time. These are highly intelligent and trustworthy people who not only listened to our concerns, but also showed us where we should go.As a point of comparison, we used a different realtor when we bought the Burbank home. She never actually succeeded in showing us a home we liked. I don't think she really took the time to understand what was important to us. We found our Burbank home on our own, but went through her for the purchase. And then she disappeared to Burning Man when we were closing on the house. When you're dealing with one of the biggest financial transactions of your life, it's really important to pick the right team. While we are sad to say goodbye to Burbank, we feel that we made the right decision for our family. Thank you, Tiao Properties!read moreread less

Gabriel K.5/14/2018- This is a review of Tiao Properties as a full service real estate and property management company ..Rental Review:One of the best decisions I made when deciding to rent my house was hiring the services of Tiao properties. They truly “manage” in every sense of the word.The Amazing team (lead by Diana Tiao) was extremely professional in dealing with the tenants, and provided a constant stream of communication with regards to property issues and maintenance.A thorough screening process of the tenants was conducted way before anyone was allowed to occupy.They took care of daily maintenance needs. The team had an array of contractors and handymen that were utilized when property wear and tear issues arose.They advised and managed all the finances, updated accounts, kept very organized bookkeeping and even took care of the financials regarding tax reporting.The resources and management experience available during my rental period enabled me to have full confidence and trust that someone was looking out for my property and for me.I would recommend Tiao properties as a true one stop shop when it comes to property management.My experience with them as a management company, was the main reason I chose them to sell my house… they are that good!Realtor/Sales Review:They say that selling your house is one of the most stressful times of your life and I would have to respond with “Not when you have Will Tiao as your realtor!”The sale was fairly easy, painless and certainly not stressful. The level of experience and knowledge that was provided, made for a very straightforward and calculated sale.Will was forthcoming with plenty of information. He consistently communicated with me during the entire process and gave accurate timelines throughout.Will was the driving force behind the decision-making and his transparency and professionalism were the key factors in closing at $263K over asking!I very much trusted Will through this process and look forward to working with him again in the future.read moreread less
Dave Russell6/29/2021Real estate transactions are an absolute nightmare. They’re surrounded with huge financial obligations, stress, and can tax you beyond the breaking point. That is why it is so incredibly important to surround yourself with broker’s that represent YOU with integrity and honesty. Give yourself the chance to work with Will and Diana Tiao. Not only are they exceedingly proficient and resourceful, they are great people. Yes, I had 10 offers within one week of listing. Yes, they alleviated stress by referring me to trusted skilled tradesmen (extremely important). But, what sets them apart more than anything else? They actually care.

I just closed on a house in Redondo Beach with Will. He is fantastic! Very upfront so he earned my trust right away. He provided us the inspection report before we made an offer so everyone had the right expectations going in. He is very pleasant to work with even when things come up. We had a situation because it was 2 houses on a lot and there was no HOA which presented a problem securing the loan. Will took the lead to determine what needed to happen and worked between our lender and the insurance folks to come up with a solution. He also worked with the buyers to ensure a team came in to clean the house, which was left very mess, so we could move in. He is a real pro and I would use him again and highly suggest you do too!read moreread less

What an AMAZING team to work with and make the stressful process of home purchasing a lot smoother! We are absolutely happy with how knowledgeable the whole team is, very responsive, attentive, and how the team really looked out for our best interest. Many realtors just want to push you to close but they were super patient with us as they really understood our needs and what we were looking for. Definitely recommend Tiao Properties!! Thank you so much for helping us during this long process and really making it a memorable one.read moreread less

Will and Diana at Tiao Properties have been my guides through the real estate puzzle that is Los Angeles multi-unit housing. They helped me find the property that fit my budget, they managed the property during the time I owned it and also helped me sell in record time and over asking when it came time to sell. I appreciate their market smarts and their kind demeanors. They are on speed dial for the next time I get back into the market.read moreread less
Jessica K.7/10/2020- If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, professional, efficient and kind, look no further than Will and Diana in terms of real estate representation. They are a husband and wife duo who have helped us in purchasing a duplex in the crazy LA market. Buying in LA has its ups and downs and through it all, Will and Diana were there to lead the way. We found them to be very honest with their feedback regarding properties (“do NOT buy this place because the remodel was mediocre” ). Since we live out of town, we truly relied on their opinions when purchasing the place and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. We are also utilizing them for rental property management and so far everything has been completed in such an efficient manner from utilities, to the landscaping, to finding tenants! Looking forward to a long term great relationship with them from here on out.read moreread less

I interviewed so many realtors before finally deciding on Will and Ken to help me with my purchase of my first multi family property. I chose them because they seemed the most experienced in the space, and I liked that they also had a property management company in case I ever needed those services in the future. Ken was my main point of contact throughout the buying process and it was a great experience. My favorite parts about working with this team were: 1. They truly work in your best interest. Some other agents may push you to close on a deal purely because it will get them paid faster. Ken was absolutely not like that. He was not afraid to say "I don't recommend moving forward with this deal." He wanted to make sure you felt comfortable in your decision and felt good about moving forward. Even after we entered escrow, he made sure to check in with me that I am still feeling good about the transaction, and reiterated that we can cancel escrow if we needed to. We ended up cancelling escrow on a property where we found major issues, and Ken was very supportive throughout the whole process. 2. They really know their stuff. If you are looking for a team that knows all of the little nuances about buying multi family and property management in LA, this is the team for you. There were so many small details, like rent freezes, permits, inspections, etc. that I would have never known if not for this team. Even though I was working with Ken and Will on the real estate side, Diana on the property management side went out of her way to answer my questions about property management. They are some of the most knowledgeable people in the space, especially for the LA market. 3. They are well connected. The property I ended up purchasing was an off-market deal brought to me by their team. This helped because there was no competition for the offer, and it expedited a lot of the process. Especially in this competitive market, off market deals are where you can still find a lot of value, so you need a well-connected agent. This team is that and more. In addition, because of their property management business, they are very well connected to plumbers, handymen, contractors. inspectors, etc. I will definitely continue to lean on them as I manage my first property. The three points above were the highlights of my experience, but overall it was such a pleasant experience working with them. The cherry on top was they even sent me a gift basket and Lowe's gift card after I closed! Small detail, but was a great end cap to a long buying process. I'm very happy with my decision and will continue to work with them for future purchases.read moreread less

I was searching around for a property management company and came across Tiao properties through Yelp. They gave us insight to all that they do in regards to property management and some referrals to great experienced vendors. They have a great online property management system that takes care of rent payments even repair requests. Will and team have been very professional managing the property, even helped mediate a good conclusion with a problem tenant. Besides being a great property management team, Will is very knowledgeable in all things real estate. He has answered all my questions and concerns regarding my real estate portfolio.

Kevin H.10/09/2016Will and his team at Tiao Properties helped me do the impossible — buy a four-plex investment property in Los Angeles for under $1 million! We all know how expensive investment real estate is in LA. Once we identified the property, we knew it was going to be very competitive with multiple offers. Even though mine was not the highest offer, we were able to get it accepted because of Will’s expertise in the area and his experience in managing and selling hundreds of multifamily units. Once in escrow, Will and his team helped me pull together the financing, the physical inspections, and handle difficult situations with the other side of the transaction. Now that we have closed (with a significant discount due to Will’s superb negotiating skills!), I’m still leaning on Will and his team for referrals for ongoing issues.

Julia C.5/01/2016Will is not merely a real estate broker, he’s a real estate coach. The bottom line is that I would not have a closed deal right now had Will not been involved with our purchase. We were faced with inordinate challenges on this project but working with Will allowed us to finalize it without the stress that could have unfolded had he not navigated the waters as thoughtfully as he did. Not only is Will a skilled negotiator with a knack for reading business situations and social dynamics extremely well, he’s so incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate industry and how it works, I felt like I received a graduate level course on complex real estate matters at the same time I got a difficult deal closed. If you are the type of person who cares about working with a professional who prioritizes their quality of work, values a deep knowledge of the real estate market, and cares to be exceptional at what they do, you will love working with Will. He’s EQ + IQ meets real estate. His monthly seminars on real estate are also excellent — it’s how I came to know his team and I’m very grateful I did.

I just purchased a large apartment building through Will Tiao, and was thoroughly impressed with his and his team's professionalism throughout the deal. Will did an incredible job marketing the property, and because of that, I knew this was going to be an extremely competitive situation (which it was). Will represented me on the deal, and was straightforward in telling me that he was representing other parties. I was impressed with how open and fair he was with the whole process. He communicated clearly, letting me know exactly where my offer stood, and eventually with his guidance was able to land the deal. Once we opened escrow, he made sure everything was smooth for myself and the Seller. Whenever there were potential hiccups, Will anticipated them and dealt with them ahead of time so they wouldn't become real obstacles. In these uncertain economic times, it's more important than ever to find a commercial broker that you like, trust and can refer. I would wholeheartedly recommend Will Tiao and Tiao Properties for any multifamily apartment deals you may be considering.read moreread less
Jonathan S.3/19/2020I have found Will, Diana, and the team at Tiao Properties to be a vital resource. The team brings a unique expertise to all of their client’s properties through their combination of Commercial Brokerage and Property Management. As someone that works in Commercial Real Estate, I believe this unique mix creates a team that understands the purchase side of the business as well as the property management side– this allows them to focus on the full spectrum of needs for their clients.

jonathan cheng1/29/2020- Will is not merely a real estate broker, he’s a real estate coach. The bottom line is that I would not have a closed deal right now had Will not been involved with our purchase. We were faced with inordinate challenges on this project but working with Will allowed us to finalize it without the stress that could have unfolded had he not navigated the waters as thoughtfully as he did. Not only is Will a skilled negotiator with a knack for reading business situations and social dynamics extremely well, he’s so incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate industry and how it works, I felt like I received a graduate level course on complex real estate matters at the same time I got a difficult deal closed. If you are the type of person who cares about working with a professional who prioritizes their quality of work, values a deep knowledge of the real estate market, and cares to be exceptional at what they do, you will love working with Will. He’s EQ + IQ meets real estate. His monthly seminars on real estate are also excellent — it’s how I came to know his team and I’m very grateful I did. We are basically counting the days until we can work with him again!read moreread less
Alison C1/29/2020Will Tiao and his team at Tiao Properties are terrific. I purchased a property from a seller they represented and they were professional, responsive, polite and honest — so much so that months later when I was looking for an agent to represent me, I contacted Will. He has now represented me on three different properties and each and every time I have been thrilled with the result. Will is efficient, knowledgeable and hard working. He consistently delivers without ever complaining. If you work with Tiao Properties, you can sleep well at night knowing you’re in very capable hands. I strongly recommend them.read moreread less

A couple expecting in three months, two teenagers and a grandpa needed just the right home, fast. With the sale of grandpa's house, the end of the couple's lease and the due date looming, I recommended one realtor from the dozens of top L.A. agents I know–actually a team with high ethics, knowledge of the market and the ability to close win-win deals, even in tough circumstances. Will Tiao, who heads the Tiao Properties team at the collective realty and teaches real estate for novices to advanced students, managed the project…for months. While touring homes, the family kept adding to the wish list. Ken Dennis never ran out of patience or hand sanitizer. Kyra Wasmundt made sure forms were completed properly by multiple parties, online. Diana Tiao and the girls even delivered lunch on moving day. Without the savings from the below-asking offer and credits they negotiated for us, the purchase and repairs might have been impossible. I'd recommend my family use the Tiao team again in a heartbeat, except for one thing. Ken got this family a forever home.read moreread less
Betsy H.3/12/2021 - My husband and I are first time investors in real estate. Investing in residential real estate can be overwhelming with all the different choices, but Will and Diana helped put us at ease by making every step of the way very clear and easy to follow. They helped us find a 4 unit property in West Hollywood that needed some renovation. After taking us through a complicated escrow process, we hired Tiao Properties to manage the property, and they helped us find the right vendors to fix up everything. They then leased out the property for great rents. We are extremely happy with their services and have already recommended them to many of our friends.read moreread less

If you are looking to buy sell, to get into real estate investments or to add to your portfolio, call them immediately!read moreread less
S M.3/04/2019This is a review of Tiao Properties as a full service real estate and property management company ..Rental Review:One of the best decisions I made when deciding to rent my house was hiring the services of Tiao properties. They truly “manage” in every sense of the word. The Amazing team (lead by Diana Tiao) was extremely professional in dealing with the tenants, and provided a constant stream of communication with regards to property issues and maintenance.A thorough screening process of the tenants was conducted way before anyone was allowed to occupy.They took care of daily maintenance needs. The team had an array of contractors and handymen that were utilized when property wear and tear issues arose. They advised and managed all the finances, updated accounts, kept very organized bookkeeping and even took care of the financials regarding tax reporting.The resources and management experience available during my rental period enabled me to have full confidence and trust that someone was looking out for my property and for me.I would recommend Tiao properties as a true one stop shop when it comes to property management.Realtor/Sales Review:They say that selling your house is one of the most stressful times of your life and I would have to respond with “Not when you have Will Tiao as your realtor!”The sale was fairly easy, painless and certainly not stressful. The level of experience and knowledge that was provided, made for a very straightforward and calculated sale. Will was forthcoming with plenty of information. He consistently communicated with me during the entire process and gave accurate timelines throughout.Will was the driving force behind the decision-making and his transparency and professionalism were the key factors in closing at $263K over asking!I very much trusted Will through this process and look forward to working with him again in the future.read moreread less
