About Us

Will 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.

I was looking for a reliable and trustworthy service during a difficult time. Although Tiao Properties did not offer the amenities I was looking for, they still took the time to answer questions and referred me to the proper channels. I'm certainly keeping their info for future reference.

Mary Jo and Nicole are the best! Always there when you need them. I highly recommend Tiao properties with renting (:

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.

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.

I stumbled upon Tiao properties via a direct mail advertisement [direct mail works people!]. I noticed the professionalism of the card, and also liked the fact that they were based in Echo Park, where I was in the market for a property manager and realtor. From there, I reached out to Will via email and he responded immediately. He made an attempt to get to know me and learn more about what I was looking for, and we decided to meet in person to discuss a week later. Shortly after, my house is now managed by Tiao Properties. My experience has been great since day 1. Whether it is Will, or anyone else in his office, people have been responsive, thorough, and understanding of my questions / requests. I definitely recommend Tiao Properties to anyone looking for a full service property manager in the LA area.

Will helped me purchase an investment property in the LA area, and his service was nothing short of exceptional. Not only is Will refreshingly honest and firmly reliable, but he is also extremely knowledgable on investment properties and truly knows how to spot the right opportunities for his clients. In addition, there were many parts of this particular buying process that were new and unfamiliar to me, and Will was so patient and helpful throughout the entire experience. His candor and proactive nature truly made all the difference, as buying a property can often be a nerve-wrecking ordeal. With Will, it’s as easy as it can get. His team is well seasoned in the industry and it definitely shows – they stay on top of every detail, are very communicative, and in general are a delight to work with. Overall, Will and his team provided outstanding service, and I would highly recommend them.

Will is an incredible real estate agent! We work with many realtors throughout Los Angeles and there are only a handful that are honest, reasonable, reliable and honorable and Will is definitely one of them! We love working with him and his great team! I highly recommend Will to anyone who is looking to buy or sell real estate. If you want someone you can trust, Will is your guy!

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!

Broker Will Tiao and his wife Diana are a wonderful Real Estate team! I'm a Real Estate investor and was relocating back to Los Angeles earlier this Spring after a decade and Will was able to get me a great deal in a very tough LA market. Will is extremely bright, professional, hard-working, adept, personable and FAST and has a great knack for negotiating and getting offers accepted (so important for buyers in this very competitive LA Market.) I had a fairly complex financing scenario, a very challenging schedule and considered MANY possibilities before landing on the right one. Will was very flexible and adaptable, able to keep up with it all and worked diligently to get me the right deal. I was dealing with him remotely a lot of the time – which was not a problem at all – Will often works with international buyers and he was fully equipped to do everything virtually which was an absolute lifesaver for me! I often buy fixers for renovation but was new to the area and Will has a great extended team of folks who can mobilize quickly to help with inspections, property evaluations, repairs, etc. which helped immensely in making decisions and speeding along what was already a very aggressive closing timeline. Every referral he made was excellent. The day after closing, the electrician was in the door! Will has a great network within Los Angeles and a wealth of Real Estate experience including property management, residential RE and what I consider to be his specialty: the ins and outs everything to do with investment properties. I have often made referrals to him for friends from legal questions, leasing and property management and everyone comments how great he is. Will and Diana currently manage a property for friends of mine and they are so pleased to know their place is in good hands! These folks are true gems and I highly recommend checking out their brand new office on the border of Silver Lake and Echo Park at 2146 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles. Cheers Will and Diana! Thanks again!

I 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. The ability to understand the cap rates and numbers on the purchase as well as the nuances of property management in LA creates a team that can deliver you from start to finish. If you are looking for an expert in multi-family real estate in LA – you've found the team that can help with the search (step 1) all the way to the last step of effectively managing the property as an income stream. Highly recommend!

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!

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. ^_^
