"It was our distinct pleasure to appoint Desirée Lapin of Sotheby’s Real Estate in Los Angeles to sell our home there in 2013. Desirée is one of the most professional people we have ever met in our long and varied business and personal lives. She guided us with apparent ease towards a successful sale and completion in April 2013. Although Desirée made the entire process of selling a house seem almost effortless, that was due to her skills, diligence, and proper attention to detail. She shepherded a good number of potential buyers and Realtors® through our house on a regular basis. Although the market was sluggish then, her ebullient demeanor sustained us thoroughly. We received several offers and of course, took the best. Once a buyer had committed, Desirée managed the escrow stage perfectly towards a swift conclusion. We always felt we were in safe hands with her and our initial confidence in her capabilities never wavered. As we all know, buying and selling houses can be traumatic. It is essential to have complete trust in your Realtor® and we cannot recommend Desirée highly enough in this capacity. She is truly one of a kind."

"Thank you so much for making our life so much better. We could have gone with so many brokers and you were our first choice and are we happy we did. You sold our house during a challenging time in the market. We are so unbelievably lucky to have sold our home in multiple offers when that was unheard of and so quickly too. Best of all you helped ..."

"Thank you so much for making our life so much better. We could have gone with so many brokers and you were our first choice and are we happy we did. You sold our house during a challenging time in the market. We are so unbelievably lucky to have sold our home in multiple offers when that was unheard of and so quickly too. Best of all you helped us buy the house of our dreams when we thought all was lost. Challenges abounded and in the end, we could not be happier with our home. You made each step of the sale and buy so enjoyable and with a giant smile on your face. We worked together beautifully and would happily give anyone a recommendation for your work."

"Desirée is such a hard-working, straight-shooting, amazing agent that you will want on your side. She has now represented us as buyers and sellers and I am so impressed with her enthusiasm, sage advice, and great communication. She was originally recommended to us by another broker in Orange County over a decade ago when we moved to Los Angeles and he told us she would be a great fit. Wow, was he right. I am so happy we hired her and highly recommend her as an agent. Thank you Desirée for your knowledge and skills."
