ReMax Westside Properties Margaret Gazey, 620 Santa Monica Blvd, Ste B, Santa Monica, CA 90401, US

HistoryI was working in the music industry when a friend talked me into getting my real estate license. I took numerous classes, as I did not know much about the real estate business. Business Law was my favorite class. I wanted to learn all I could before attempting to assist someone to buy their own home. While taking a class I met Bonnie Hoffman; an experienced agent with Merrill Lynch Realty. She invited me and another classmate to meet with her manager. She hired both of us and we went through Merrill Lynch's extensive training program. Later that agent and I became business partners for 6 years, selling properties like crazy. I had some contract experience with the music business, but it did not compare to the real estate contract. After eight years I moved to RE/MAX. I just recently moved to the Marina/Venice office. In that time, I have bought three properties: an apartment building, a condo, and a house. I have many happy clients. Contact me to become one.SpecialtiesDonna has been a Los Angeles agent for over 30 years. Experience is priceless! My job is to give you advice about selling or buying real estate. Over the years, I have assisted clients with selling their homes and moving onto the next phase of their life, and I have assisted buyers with their first time home. Are you ready to move to the next phase of your life? Buy a larger home or a smaller home? Move closer to your children, or to your parents? Are you interesting in selling an apartment building or buying one? Doing a 1031 Exchange? I can help with that. I own one myself and know how the numbers work. Thinking of buying a condo? What are important issues for you? How much are the dues & what does it include, are there any proposed assessements coming up, is there an elevater, how many parking spots, can I have a pet, what are the reserves, do I need insurance, what are CC&R's.
