Elizabeth is by far the BEST realtor I’ve ever encountered in my life….and that’s saying a lot as I have worked in finance and lending for the past 25 years. She was and is over the top remarkable. My mother passed away unexpectedly last year. She left no will and no directives therefore all her assets ended up in probate….for which I was left to handle. To say I was overwhelmed, was an understatement. There was so much to do, most notably dealing with her home of nearly 40 years. To top it off, I lived out of state and after being in LA for 5 weeks to handle my mother’s affairs, I had to get back home to my 4 kids, pets, and career. It was imperative I find someone to deal with the sale of her home…so I did what most people do these days and I googled best realtor in San Fernando Valley. It was there I came upon Elizabeth. After reading her glowing reviews, I reached out. She got back to me immediately and came to my mother’s home within 24 hours to discuss the situation and scope out the project. She was intelligent, helpful, compassionate, competent, responsive, had experience with probate transactions and had a robust team behind her to help me each step of the way. I knew she was the right fit as soon as we met. She arranged for her team to come meet me before I had to head home. I met the contractor, the stager, the septic professional and her teammate who helped to project manage all the players. I felt surrounded by proficiency and trusted that everything would go well in my absence. They handled the entire process for me from afar….the construction upgrades, the painting, the landscaping, the staging, the signing….and never did they miss a beat. In the end, I received nearly a dozen offers within days of listing, with half of the offers over the asking price! I cannot express the gratitude I have for Elizabeth and her entire team. Elizabeth made a very difficult time feel effortless and her vast knowledge resulted in not only $44K over asking but also the utmost respect to my childhood home and my mother’s legacy.

Elizabeth and her team are truly incredible! My husband and I were searching for our first house, and with our first baby due at the end of June 2020, we were in a bit of a rush. Having just moved from Wisconsin to LA, we knew literally nothing about the LA market. Born and raised in LA, Elizabeth has 20 years of experience in buying and selling homes in this area.
We started looking in early March, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Elizabeth was professional and helpful every step of the way! She is knowledgeable, honest, kind, and extremely thorough. She and her team kept us updated and informed every step of the way. She truly had our best interests at heart and fought for what we wanted. During an unstable time in the world, Elizabeth and her team made finding our house less stressful than I had ever imagined!
My husband and I have the utmost respect for Elizabeth and her team, and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy a single family home. If and when we sell this house, we will be retaining her services again!

Elizabeth sells homes but she STOLE my heart!!
Elizabeth is a great realtor. She finds areas that fit your price point, and doesn’t push you to pursue things that will break your bank. She is a great negotiator and is just the person you want to work with when finding your home.
She helped my husband and I buy our first house and we couldn’t be happier. Elizabeth made the insanely stressful and crazy process that is purchasing a home smooth and easy, and was always available if we had a question / needed something explained to us.
I hope to work with Elizabeth on any home purchases in the future & will recommend any friend or colleague who is purchasing a home in the LA area to choose her as their realtor.

Flawless and perfect transition from staging & showing to closing escrow made me and my wife be very happy. Appreciate very much Elizabeth and Nicole. Your team work’s great! All information was timely informed to us and I didn’t carry any question in my mind ’til funding completed.

Elizabeth and her team just sold our Studio City condominium, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received from her and her team. They did so much more than sell the unit; they took care of everything, including repairs and staging. Everyone who works with her is professional and responsive, and we felt that they sincerely cared about us.
We are very happy, and fortunate, to have found her.

We live out of town and need a professional to handle the sale of our mother’s home after her passing. Elizabeth and her team were prompt and professional. They took care of everything we needed to get the home ready for sale; gardener, painter, cleaners and so much more. Not only did she make selling the property a breeze, she was able to get us more money than we expected! We highly recommend Elizabeth and her team!

I have known Elizabeth Marquart as my polo student. I was always impressed by how dedicated she was to her job. Now that we inverted the roles and I became her client in the real state business, I can assure you Elizabeth Marquart is the best Realtor to sell or buy your home. She is very professional, she is extremely knowledgeable at how to price your home and very easy to communicate with throughout the process. I highly recommend Elizabeth Marquart as a Realtor. She is simply the best!!!

I had such a beautiful experience selling my home with Elizabeth Marquart at RE/MAX Estate Properties as my realtor. I didn’t know anything about selling a home. I reached out to Elizabeth (who I was fortunate enough to have as a neighbor) and asked her if the time was right to sell. She gave two sides (answers) to that question – pros and cons which I thought was very honest for a realtor to do. I decided to go with her and let her list my home. It was amazing! She knew some people looking for a home in my neighborhood and reached out to them. It all happened so fast we never even listed my home or did an open house, or took pictures, etc. And she held my hand the whole way through the process. Elizabeth’s assistant Nicole is also amazing also and together those two gals handled the sell so smoothly – it was truly a gift having them. I’m not going to say it’s easy-peasy to sell your home, but Elizabeth helped me, and answered all the questions I had, and eased my worries about moving, relocating, selling my home, etc. I recommend her highly! She is dedicated, thorough, integrable and honest. You can’t ask for more than that. Oh, AND she got me a GREAT price on my home. Thanks Elizabeth!!!

Elizabeth is an extraordinary agent. During a pandemic and a roller coaster time in the market, she expertly guided me through both selling and buying a home. She is deeply knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate, highly ethical, a great listener, and truly cares. She wants to do the very best for her clients and make sure that they are making the most informed decisions possible. Sometimes there were concerns about a home that wouldn’t be obvious to a buyer, especially during the pandemic, and she made sure that I knew and understood every important detail to make the best decision. Her fabulous team, Nicole and Mariela, are the same level of true professionals. They are wonderful to work with and always looking out for your best interests. On the selling side, Elizabeth has expertise in getting your home ready for sale as well as guiding you through all the difficult decisions to make before and after the listing. If I could, I’d double the stars here. I highly recommend Elizabeth and her team!
Karin S
Elizabeth and her entire team made the sale of our house go extremely well. Their knowledge and expertise allowed for everything to go smoothly. Even in today’s difficult circumstances. We would HIGHLY recommend her for any Real Estate transactions!
Ivan P
Elizabeth and her team were wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a realtor!!!
Joe K
Elizabeth and her team are a 5 star experience all the way. She represented us as the seller and as a buyer and was successful in timing and closing two deals during the Covid-19 pandemic without missing a beat. We could not be happier with her incredible service and experience and highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking to sell or buy your home with one of the best agents in Los Angeles!

I found Elizabeth Marquart by going to various sites reviewing realtors in the area. I was impressed by the excellent reviews she received from former clients. I had met with a couple of other people but upon meeting her, she impressed me with her confidence, objective planning, creative thinking, positive outlook, and in general, her let’s make it happen attitude. Well, now having sold my home recently I can say, how right those reviews were about her. Right on. She also has a terrific team of people working with her, whose professionalism proved invaluable to this first time seller. Shout out to Nicole, Mariela, and all the other ladies who were super helpful and gracious helping me. You get the best of everything with Elizabeth and her team.

After a lackluster experience with another real estate agent, we decided to explore other options. We found Elizabeth on Yelp, and we were very impressed by her spotless reviews. From the initial phone call, we knew this real estate agent was the type we were looking for. Friendly, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and unafraid to point out the drawbacks of certain properties. We had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth, Nicole, and Mariela throughout the process, and the insights each of them had were truly invaluable.
When it comes to buying a home, good communication is key. I’d say this is one of Elizabeth’s biggest strengths. I really appreciated how responsive, quick, and thorough her entire team was. I’m big on efficiency, and I felt like everyone was really on top of it. As a first time purchaser, there were a lot of questions I had regarding paperwork and disclosures. Elizabeth and team were always accessible to talk over the phone (or email) to help explain everything and answer any concerns. I never had to worry about anything falling through the cracks.
If buying a property in the Los Angeles area (especially Sherman Oaks-Studio City), Elizabeth is definitely one of your best options. This team is very experienced and knows the various neighborhoods extremely well. They made the entire process as stress-free and straight forward as possible. Whether you are a first time buyer or an experienced veteran, I’m confident that Elizabeth will take great care of you. I know we will be using her services again in the future should the opportunity present itself. Do not hesitate to give her a call!

I recently decided to sell my townhouse and was searching for a realtor. As this was the first time I was selling a house, I wanted to make sure I sought out a realtor that would be able to patiently answer any questions I had and help provide pointers to sell my house for the best possible price. I found Elizabeth on Yelp and the reviews were spot on! Elizabeth, Nicole and the rest of her team were very knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to work with. The whole process went very smoothly, and they all were very responsive any time I reached out with questions. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth and her team to any of my friends looking to buy or sell a home in the future!

We have bought and sold many homes over the past 30 years and have dealt with many realtors. Elizabeth and her team go beyond professional and set themselves apart from the rest. We were so impressed by their knowledge and experience in dealing with multiple issues. Elizabeth is a problem solver and has an amazing network of professionals that can mitigate problems and find solutions. Nicole also deserves an honorable mention – always available, responsive and helpful. I am also very impressed with Elizabeth’s mandateto give back. You are the total package!
Axel R
I can’t say enough good things about Elizabeth! She truly is the best realtor. So thoughtful and caring. With so many connections. Knows the business inside out. You won’t find anyone better. Made the buying process as smooth as can be! You’ll be lucky to have her be your realtor!
Tony C
Elizabeth is the best real estate agent ever! She has a kind heart and treats you like a friend, not just a customer. She is a good listener and was upfront and honest about everything. She was very helpful in guiding us through both a sale and a purchase, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent agent in LA.

Elizabeth and her team did an awesome job selling Dad’s house quickly and efficiently!!! They really know the market, took care of preparing the house and were a pleasure to work with.
Justin B
As a first time home buyer, approaching the market was extremely intimidating and nerve-racking. I was overwhelmed to be put in a position to create a game plan in a situation that I’ve never experienced before. That’s when I found Elizabeth. She and her team exceeded our every expectation in all aspects of the home buying process. I’ll be honest with you, I knew NOTHING about purchasing a home. Not only did they take lead and hold our hand through the whole process, but also educated us on every step and detail along the way. I’ve come to believe that they have the blueprint of success for first time home buyers. I also want to highlight the fantastic work done by Nicole. She takes service, attention to detail, and communication to a whole new level and we are so thankful for her help and guidance along the way.
Having said that, what really spoke volume to me was the fact that Elizabeth and Nicole did certain things that really showed that were working towards our bottom line as a family. Purchasing a home can be a big financial commitment, and knowing that we had a team that put our financial well being first was truly appreciated.
Thank you Elizabeth! Thank you Nicole! Thank you to the whole team at ElizabethSells. Our family would not be where we are today without you and we truly believe that.

Elizabeth helped me rent my condo in Studio City a little while ago and I could not have been happier. I bought and rented several properties in the past with other realtors. Elizabeth and her awesome assistant, Mariela, by far, exceeded my expectations.
They answered all calls/emails within a short time frame, provided me with all the details I ever needed and more, and hosted an open house for potential renters.
If you sell/buy through Elizabeth, you don’t do just one transaction. You gain a trusted realtor for life, who even reminds you that your property taxes are due. I also just received an invitation for a party where each client/former client receives a pie for Thanksgiving. Plus, earlier in the year I got invited to another event benefiting the shelter animals.
I will highly recommend Elizabeth and her team to all my friends without hesitation.

Elizabeth is an excellent agent – she’s very responsive, knowledgeable, and savvy. She ended up selling our Sherman Oaks condo for $27,000 more than our neighbors just 3 months after their unit sold (same size, # of bedrooms, # of bathrooms layout, etc). I believe ours sold for more because of how well Elizabeth managed the listing, staging, timing, open house and negotiations. She has a purposeful strategy that helps maximize the price.
Elizabeth is on top of everything and likes to move fast, so she expects you to be on top of everything as well.
We ended up selling for well above asking price with multiple offers. To give you an idea of how fast we moved (and I believe this is exceptional), we ended up with offers a week after listing, and entered escrow (after negotiations) a month after listing.
I couldn’t be happier with her abilities and service.
Andrea S
I first worked with Elizabeth when I bought a condo as a first time buyer, and she was awesome throughout that experience. Now, almost 9 years later, I am SO glad I had Elizabeth! I just sold my condo and bought a house at the same time, and she was instrumental in making everything that needed to happen work. She advised me the best way to accomplish the switch while allowing me plenty of time to find the new place and move, and worked extremely well with all the agents, escrows, and lenders involved.
She is very knowledgeable and fair-minded, but she can also totally hold her own when dealing with problems and uncooperative people. My condo sale ended up going really crazy, but it was completely due to unscrupulous and incompetent behavior that had nothing to do with us – having Elizabeth at my back helped tremendously, and all was settled successfully in the end! She and her whole team were in constant communication with me and were prompt and accurate with everything they did. I cannot recommend them enough, I don’t know what I would have done without them!

FIVE STAR reviews will not let you down! Many friends had a realtor to refer but we went with Yelp’s top 5 star review, Elizabeth Marquart, and we are SO glad we listened to our fellow reviewers. Words cannot express how HIGHLY we recommend Elizabeth and her team. You will be impressed as soon as you meet her. After interviewing several realtors, it was a very easy decision to hire Elizabeth. She and her associates, Mariela and Nicole, are extremely efficient with everything they do from promptly returning calls/emails to setting up appointments and making things happen according to the envisioned timeline, being kind and patient all the while. It felt like they were family right alongside us every step of the way during the sale of our house which was a contributing factor that significantly decreased our fear/stress/worry throughout this whole process. The overwhelming thought of selling our house after 17 years was assuaged by the great comfort we experienced through their faithful support and relentless competency.
Their trustworthiness and expertise inspired us to hire them for the purchase of our new home in which they turned a potentially trying time into a seamless transition. They transformed what we imagined to be chaos into a dream. After heeding their sage advice, our home sold after the first open house and because of their outstanding outside referrals (Glen Oaks Escrow, Loan Consultant Cari Crites and other contractors) and their well thought out strategies, we were able to move into our new home two weeks after the close of escrow. Our family is beyond satisfied with their extraordinary service and we will be eternally showing gratitude by telling everyone we know about Elizabeth and her five-star service! Look no further if you want peace during the buying/selling of your home.

Elizabeth and her team (Nicole & Mariela) just helped my husband and I sell our first home and buy a second.
Her professionalism, knowledge, and attentiveness to our needs – especially as they related to scheduling inspections/showings/etc. around our particular circumstances (we have a toddler with special needs) – made the whole process much easier and more streamlined. Just as importantly, she helped us sell and buy our homes within the time frame/prices we were looking for.
One thing I also especially appreciated about Elizabeth, Nicole and Mariela was their promptness every time we met or had a showing. I feel like this is hard to find in Los Angeles!!
I don’t think we could more highly recommend Elizabeth and her team. We would recommend them to any friend/family member in a heartbeat.

We recently sold our house in Los Angeles with the added challenge of having already moved to another state. It was a difficult decision to find an agent to whom we could hand over the keys to our home of over 30 years (and also our most valuable asset). In her first meeting with us, Elizabeth presented a highly-detailed plan for the sale of our home. Elizabeth and her team then expertly executed that plan. The result was a selling price that exceeded even our highest expectations. Elizabeth, her colleague Nicole, and their team of specialists handled everything from prepping and staging the house through to the final sale. There were a couple of unexpected issues that cropped up along the way, but Elizabeth and her team quickly and professionally implemented solutions. They did everything from handling repair work to forwarding our mail to watering plants. They took care of our home as if it were their own. Even though we were living over a thousand miles away, Elizabeth and Nicole maintained constant communication with us via email and telephone so we always knew exactly what was happening and felt comfortable throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a great real estate agent, make the easy decision. Hire Elizabeth Marquart. She’s the best of the best.

I was referred to Elizabeth when I was ready to put my house on the market. I reviewed several real estate representatives that were advertising in my neighborhood. I wasn’t sure what I should look for in a real estate representative but I knew I wanted to find a representative that was confident and knowledgeable.
After contacting Elizabeth we agreed to meet at my home. Elizabeth arrived on time and with all of the information about her I would need to make a qualified decision. After a tour of the home Elizabeth showed me and told me point blank exactly what to expect from her and her group.
Because when you have Elizabeth as your representative you have more than one talented person working for you but you have a group of talented people working for you. And they all perform their jobs with skill and intelligence and determination.
Elizabeth told me that they would handle everything, from cleaning and staging, photos and creation of a very professional web site, and everything else associated with selling a home. They did not disappoint. And they handled everything with grace and confidence (their experience shows) and I never once felt that I wasn’t getting the best service and representation that I was promised.
I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anybody selling or purchasing a home.

Professional, personable and proactive. A great team.

We are first time homeowners and we did not realize how much went on when buying a home. Thankfully Elizabeth and her team (Nicole, Mariela) were there to make the whole process much easier for us. We had dealt with a shady realtor in the past that saw us as a dollar sign and did not have our best intentions at heart. On the other hand, Elizabeth showed us what a great realtor could be. She took great care of us and is very professional. We found her by searching for local realtors online, and all the reviews are true! Now we are happy homeowners thanks to Elizabeth and her team. We couldn’t recommend her more!
Oona H
Elizabeth Marquart and her term are outstanding. We have worked with her both as buyers and sellers. She really takes care of her clients in so many ways. And her team of vendors have made life so much easier–it’s priceless to have a reliable go-to list of contractors and other service providers.

Elizabeth is a pro. She helped us find and purchase our home in Sherman Oaks, in the Winter of 2020. She’s a great communicator, and was able to work around our work schedules. Direct and honest, with the perspective and insight of a Los Angeles native who understands the market. She brings with her a trusted network of referrals that we continue to rely on. Elizabeth and team were a pleasure to work with. We definitely recommend Elizabeth and team, and look forward to working with her again.

Elizabeth is a rock star of real estate agents! I have never met anyone who is as meticulous, highly attentive to details, knowledgable, personable, trustworthy, authentic and professional. She helped me buy my place in downtown LA unseen while I lived in Germany. You have to have a lot of trust to do that. More importantly, she has kept personal contact with me for more than 10 years now since I purchased. She provides a monthly newsletter that has valuable content. She is a real pro! She is refreshing in an industry of very mediocre agents adding very little value. She is the exact opposite. I’m a huge fan and would never make a move in real estate without her advice or representation.
We have included excerpts from client thank you letters, below.
Upon request, I'll be happy to share the entire letter.
HEATHER RICHMAN AND CHRIS SIMENTAL
We first came to Elizabeth several years ago when we had hardly any money for a down payment. Because the market was so hot, we felt we had to at least look into buying a home. Turns out that it wasn't the right time for us but nonetheless Elizabeth treated us with respect, gave us her attention, service and valuable expertise.
With a completely changed market this year we went back to Elizabeth and picked up right where we left off. I was impressed with her professionalism and later was even more impressed with her negotiation skills. Her experience in this business was the key to us getting our first home. She goes above and beyond in being your trusted liaison in any type of housing market. We will always use Elizabeth for all our Real Estate needs.
Thanks for everything Elizabeth, we couldn't be happier!
Sincerely,
Heather and Chris Simental
ANOTHER PAST CLIENT
"Her diligence, gregariousness, sincere enthusiasm, and patience are impeccable, which is refreshing in a business that is known for its shortcomings in these areas."
"Elizabeth is not an agent that is only sincere and kind, she is also astute and highly knowledgeable. She answered every question I ever posed. Without a doubt, Elizabeth is the only agent to work with."
"We could not have asked for a better agent. From making yourself available all those weekends, to your sterling representation of us in dealings with third parties, we were very pleased with your dedicated service."
"She dealt with our idiosyncratic taste for over a year and a half with patience and a sincere desire for our satisfaction. Elizabeth is highly intelligent, frighteningly diligent, sincerely considerate, and very personable. She has all the traits of the perfect real estate agent, and I highly recommend her."
"Elizabeth also acted as a master negotiator. On the house we purchased, we wanted to pay less than asking price, and Elizabeth bargained on our behalf. She succeeded in ascertaining information from the seller's agent that resulted in us getting a very favorable price (below asking)."
"Elizabeth, my family and I were calmed through a generally stressful time thanks to your diligence and "can do" attitude. I will be looking for a new home in the future and will be calling you."
