  • What People Say About Us

    I was referred to Avantika and Tom at HausAngeles by a friend of a friend. I was short selling my condo in the Village Green. It had been on the market for a year prior and nothing was happening. The previous real estate agents were pretty much useless. I basically knew more about the short sale [...]

    Smart, creative, incredibly well versed in Los Angeles real estate, and a reasonable but tough negotiator when it matters the most. Avantika is a hidden gem, a real estate broker that you will be incredibly happy and proud to have. She sold my house for me and also helped me find a new one. All [...]

She quickly gets a feel for your needs and does a lot behind the scenes to ensure your time is efficiently spent and your purchase is the best possible match to your ideals. She is responsive, personable and quickly becomes [...]

I was consistently impressed with the team at HausAngeles and with the buyer’s agent [...]

I was immediately very impressed with Ms. Shahi. She is extremely knowledgeable, yet not pushy. She is very patient and easygoing, [...]

    D Stranc

What I valued most was Tom’s honesty (when a property didn’t match it’s ad for example), his expertise in guiding me to see value where it mattered, and most of all his patience as I visited over 50 properties in various parts of [...]
