Testimonials

My years that were supposed to be Golden, ranked pretty scrap metal until I met and turned over my business and properties over to James. Now me and my wife get to enjoy the fruit of our years of hard work (57 years) without the head aches and hassles. Eugene S, Studio City

I have used James as an agent on more then one occasion, his due dilligence and attention to detail has made for quite profitable deals but has also prevented us from disaster numerous times. His understanding of construction, city and the lending world has many a times taken us away from deals that would have probably turned into long time problems. Danny Cohen, Brentwood

As a novice property owner I was haunted and appalled by the way the city, legal system and tenants treated me upon closing of what I considered to be my 1st investment property. After losing over and over in the battles, I decided to turn over the property to the management company Mr. Engel owns. Since that day I have enjoyed the peace of mind and the monthly check I have been receiving and have not been called upon or burdened by any of the obligations of being a landlord. With that confidence I have purchased 3 more smaller properties through Mr. Engel and have turned the management over to him as well. Any client is welcome to contact myself for a referral for his services. Susan & Nat P.
