I have bought two homes and sold one home with Cari over the past 14 years and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. She knows the very best person for every portion of the process (inspectors that saved me from an unsafe house, the MOST gorgeous stagers resulting in 30 bids, a loan broker who makes miracles happen, got us into our new home before it hit the market, and so much more). Cari will not let you buy an un-amazing house or one that won't work for you, she has your back. She was able to sell our house for 250K+ over asking too! She is experienced, highly skilled at making relationships and a perfectionist in terms of getting you what you want when you buy and making your home the most appealing on the market - all while making it as seamless a process as possible. I 10/10 would recommend Cari every time and I have to many friends who also loved working with her!
The whole team was amazing and supportive, and their inventory of houses is just nuts. Like, some of the most stylish and gorgeous Los Angeles real estate finds out there. I still check out every one of their new property posts when they pop up in my feed, just for eye candy
I worked with Marissa for a couple of years to find the right place in Los Angeles. She was extremely patient, never pushy or impatient as I navigated different neighborhoods and areas. As an out of state buyer, it took several trips to LA, and she always made herself available to me, provided advice, insight and ideas. Eventually, we found the perfect place in Glassell Park. Trying to handle all of this from out of state was challenging and Marissa was with me every step of the way showing support when things got tough, sharing the necessary information to make the right decisions, and treating me as if I was her only client. Her responsiveness and attention through emails, phone calls, conference calls, was incredible. Feel very grateful to have found her along this journey. Exceptional experience!
When we started house hunting, we were lucky to find Coleen Novak. Coleen is all in for her clients. She is extremely responsive to your needs. Your problems are her problems. We looked at over 50 houses and Coleen never wavered in her determination to find us the right home. She is professional and knows her stuff, meaning you can leave things in her capable hands. She’s friendly and easy going. Not only would I call Coleen our agent but I would call her a friend too. Coleen cares. It was a pleasure working with her.
C3 Group LA is very professional and very personal all in one. The best real estate listing agent and the best real estate buyer's agent in Los Angeles! We love C3 and Cari Field!
Marissa McMillon was everything you could possibly want in an agent. From day one, she made us feel like we were her only clients. She was fully present in every meeting and brought such a thoughtful balance of being personal, warm, and extremely professional. Her attention to detail was also next level. Every home we toured, Marissa treated as if it were her own. She noticed things we never would have caught and helped us understand not just the charm of each house, but the logistics as well. As first-time homebuyers, her wealth of knowledge about the process, inspections, and homeownership in general was incredibly helpful and reassuring, especially with the many hillside homes we toured. We were house hunting in Los Angeles with a 3 month old baby, and Marissa made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel completely manageable. We were never truly stressed at any point because we had so much confidence in her and always knew we were in the best, most capable hands. With her guidance, we closed on our dream hillside home in Mount Washington within just two months of searching, which still feels amazing to say. Working with Marissa and the C3 Group LA team was such a positive experience. By the end of the process, she genuinely felt like a friend. We can’t recommend Marissa enough and will absolutely be recommending her to anyone we know who is house searching.
Coleen Novak and her team did a great job. Not only did she fully expose the house to the market she got a price $350k over list. In addition she was always available for advice and delivery of documents and helping me through the somewhat bittersweet journey of selling my beloved house. She also sold my daughter's house at $400k over asking and found her another house in my neighborhood for much less than original asking. I highly recommend her!
We bought our first home with Cari and had a wonderful experience. When new adventures called and it became time to sell, we didn't want to work with anyone else. Cari is patient, funny, knowledgeable and easy to work with. She took great care of us end to end, which is truly priceless when you are simultaneously managing other big, stressful, life-altering changes, such as an intercontinental move! I can't speak highly enough of her.
Marissa McMillon is truly one of the best real estate agents in the industry. We ended up with our dream home because of her. She is honest, trustworthy, incredibly hard working, patient, devoted and steadfast in her determination to get her clients exactly what they’re looking for. Marissa skillfully navigates the incredibly competitive and nuanced real estate environment in Los Angeles. She really showed up for us every step of the way, empowering us to make good decisions with confidence, quickly. Marissa and C3 Group LA have an amazing network of lenders and inspectors along with great referrals for contractors and the like. Not only did they help secure us our dream house, but for an absolutely incredible deal. Working with them felt more like winning the lottery. We still can’t believe how they pulled everything together and how fast they move in complex situations. They are an elite, professional team. Considering how competitive the LA market is, when we started our search, our assumption for the kind of house we’d be able to secure was much lower than what we actually ended up getting. Entirely thanks to Marissa and C3 Group LA, we ended up with a beautiful MCM character home with a pool and peaceful garden, which still blows us away. We couldn’t have dreamed of landing something better and every day we wake up amazed that this is our life. We cannot recommend Marissa and C3 Group LA more highly and are quick to refer them anytime we hear someone is thinking about dipping their toes in the LA market. We feel so lucky to have been paired together.
Our family had an amazing experience working with Coleen to purchase our home. She helped us find a home that we truly love. We were a particularly difficult case: We needed to sell and buy a home within a short period of time and Coleen guided us through every step, even when we felt like our situation was impossible to pull off. Coleen really cares about her clients and is a professional, steady hand through the most stressful parts of the process.
My husband and I feel so lucky to have been introduced to Cari. When we moved down to LA from SF we were unfamiliar with LA, the market and the process of buying a home. Cari walked us through everything providing extensive knowledge and never pressuring us. She is smart, honest and patient. I can’t say enough about this amazing person and honestly find a way to talk about her to everyone I know and meet!
