About Us

I am so glad that we had chosen Will Tiao to represent us selling an apartment building in Echo Park. I found Will based on his excellent reviews online. I am happy that I can now join others to write this positive review as a completely satisfied client. I met with Will face to face a few times before signing the contract with him. I gained confidence each time we met. Will listened to my needs, answered all my questions and worked with me closely to accommodate my schedule. He has very good judgement and business ethics and is very knowledgeable in commercial real estate. Will and his team did a stellar job in getting our apartment to market and streamlining the sale process with multiple offers. We are very happy to secure a sale at way above the asking price. Will had Ken Dennis from his office helping us with the sale process. Ken is extremely responsible and went way above and beyond putting everything in place so efficiently and effectively, and keeping me informed of his progress. I am most impressed with his ability to tackle every issue that came up in a very calm and professional manner. Thank You Ken!! I am forever grateful for your dedicated hard work and your attention to detail that helped me stay calm during the sale. With Will and Ken's professional skills and dedication I am very pleased that we were able to close the escrow in 30 days after we accepted the offer. Great job Will & Ken and thank you guys!

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!

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!

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. As well as put us in contact with others to help on the finance side. Thanks for all your help and guidance!

Real 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. Do yourself a favor and give them a call. It starts with a conversation that can create a relationship that'll last you a lifetime.

If you are SERIOUS about selling your home (or duplex in our case) and get the best price for it and service, then I wholeheartedly recommend you to contact and sign a contract with Will Tiao and his highly efficient team. Or just get a no-frills consultation from him! We made the mistake of listing with another real estate agent, without doing due diligence, and she sat on our properties wasting a whole year without even bringing one offer–any offer as we told her! Then we found Will (on Yelp!) and we have never looked back. We got the best personal service and several offers and our property was sold at an excellent price and way over what was listed with the previous agent. I was originally skeptical after our bitter experience with the previous agent and was hesitant with Will, but he pleasantly proved me wrong. He also gave us a commission break as he also found the buyer (no third party). Please get moving with Will, who has many potential investors, if you are serious about selling, buying, getting the best service, flexibility and an expert! Mark my word, you will not regret it.

Was super helpful in referring me to an escrow company in California that could help us out. We are located in Pennsylvania so trying to transfer land from mom to son and finding someone in PA with a California license has been difficult. They recommended someone and were extremely nice and prompt with their responses. Nice people they are. ^_^

I worked with Will and his team to purchase my first apartment building (which they are now managing as well). The process was really great and from the beginning I felt like Will really understood what I was looking for in a property. It wasn’t long before we identified a building I loved with the right cash flow and price.As I was on the other side of the country through most of escrow, the team at Tiao Properties managed the inspections and kept me up to speed on what was going on. Overall I’ve been really happy with their services as a buyer’s agent. I’ll update when I have a bit more experience with the property management side.

There are not enough stars for how satisfies I am as a client of Tiao Properties. Will, my broker and his fabulous team sold my building in Boyle Heights at over asking that more than covered his commission. Tiao Properties is great at marketing and my building sold in less than 2 months with multiple offers at the height of the Covid crisis.

Will has done an excellent job walking through selling my first home. He's gone above and beyond to find me multiple offers and working with the buyers agent to make the sale. I recommend his services to everyone I meet as an excellent realtor both buying and selling as well as property management team.

Will 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. If you're thinking of buying or selling a multifamily property is Los Angeles, I highly recommend using Will and Tiao Properties.

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.

Very happy to be writing this review as Will, Mary Jo, and the team at Tiao went above and beyond to sell our property in Silver Lake! We came to them after a bad experience with another local agent. To complicate matters even more we were in the process of moving from LA to Sydney, Australia. Not only did Will and team reassure us that they would be able to get the job done, they actually coordinated repairs, landscaping, and made sure that the house looked its best when potential buyers came through during each open house! All the while they kept us updated on what was going on. We’re happy to say that where other agents failed, Tiao Properties succeeded! I would highly recommend them for all your real estate needs! In addition to being good, competent agents, they’re also nice people. Thank you!

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.
