Client review

Zach Krasman with Compass was an outstanding choice for my wife and me when selling our home in Frogtown. Working with him it became obvious that he's a seasoned highly skilled, real estate agent and able expertly navigated the complexities of the ever-changing LA housing market based on his knowledge & vast experience. His invaluable suggestions to make particular home improvements, but improvements tailored to attract buyers needs, helped ensure a quick sale at the best price. Following his advice, we utilized Compass's consignment line of credit to complete upgrades all within eight weeks. The result of this our home sold in just two weeks, well over asking price, with a 10-day escrow. Looking back, it scares me thinking we could have gone with another agent which we had interviewed prior to signing with Zach. We couldnt have chosen a better partneraEUR"Zack was the perfect agent for the job.

If y'all follow my reviews, you'll know I'm not HUGELY prolific, but if I enjoy a good experience or encounter badness, I am happy to write about it. Today, I'd like to discuss my realtor, Zach Kransman. I've known Zach socially for years, as members of a volunteer organization in Los Angeles. When it came time to sell our home in Burbank, naturally his name came up, along with some other realtors I know. I was of mixed feelings contracting with a well known acquaintance - you know - "friends shouldn't do business with friends if they wish to stay friends..." Fortunately that chestnut proved incorrect this time... After meeting with a couple of folks, we decided Zach would be our best choice. His presentation was relaxed, but extremely comprehensive. He had an answer for nearly all of my questions, but more importantly, if he didn't know the answer, he wasn't afraid to say he'd find out and follow-up with me. We had lived in our home 25 years. Even though we had started prep for the sale, doing the obvious, we had no idea what was needed to be competitive in today's market. Zach recommended a number of minor tweaks, a couple of biggies, and professional staging. After a debate between my husband and I, we decided to accept most of his recommendations. The best decision, I must say... Zach has a list of vendors as long as my arm - folks to do help move and load, folks to do all the various inspections, handymen and women for the refurbishment... you name it, he's "got a guy" for it... During the process of doing final work - moving out into storage pods, pre-sale inspections, finishing details (including refinishing hardwood floors), Zach was always there with a calm word, supporting my anxiety and concern, helping guide us through the myriad of problems that this sort of effort wil produce. I can't stress how helpful he was... As a member of the Compass realty network, Zach has numerous resources available, many of which we took advantage of with great results. The most important - once we were moved out, but before the serious work started, Zach was able to take a couple of quick snapshots of the house and do a private listing on Compass's internal network... sort of a preview or "pocket listing" situation. Zach showed the house a couple of times to realtors and their clients. (Zach is always present for a showing) In the end, three days before we went to MLS, before we had settled on a final selling price, we received an offer $200,000 over our estimated list price! This is why we hire a realtor, folks... to get the sale. Even though we were insistent we didn't want to artificially gouge due to the recent nearby wildfires, we certainly wanted to maximize our investment and acquire a fair price. Goal achieved!! Buying and selling a house is a major financial event. it is also a huge emotional event (listing in the top ten stressors in life). Zach has the knowledge and experience to navigate the financial maze, but more importantly, the emotional maturity to be supportive and soothing for the mental turmoil one experiences as you journey through this transaction. I give my strongest recommendation to anyone considering Zach Kransman to be their realtor.

Client review

Zach was an absolute dream to work with. His wise counsel, calm and poised demeanor, and ethical and savvy professionalism, all manifested the absolute best-case scenario for us (on all dimensions - timing, price, escrow process). I highly recommend Zach and his team to anyone looking to make a real estate move in Los Angeles.

Client review

We highly recommend Zach Krasman. He helped us purchase a home in La CaA+-ada Flintridge. We've worked with a few realtors before, but none with the expertise and work ethic like him, he'll be our go-to realtor from now on!

Client review

Zach handled the sale of my mother's home in Los Feliz. It's a 1911 Craftsman bungalow style home that needed tons of work. Zach assisted in every element of the sale including advice on where to spend money and where to save it. He did an amazing job and we received 17 offers receiving WAY over asking. Could not recommend more!

Client review

The Compass realtor we were working with in Pasadena connected us with Zach when we decided to expand our condo search to the southeast Valley. Zach was immediately responsive, sharing his knowledge of Studio City, Sherman Oaks and other nearby communities. He explained that his approach to realty, particularly for out-of-state buyers like ourselves, was to protect us from getting into things that might cause grief later on. And thats what he did. Zach was quick to visit the properties we were interested in and report back on their pros and cons, including the condition of the condo, quality of any improvements, reputation of the neighborhoods, and the amount of traffic on the streets. One of the benefits of working with Zach is that he is a member of the Top Agent Network (TAN). For us, this meant Zach was able to show us a condo that was off market. It proved to be just what we were looking for, and we were able to make an offer without the stress of having to compete against multiple offerers. We cant thank Zach (and his team Melinda and Apolla) enough for their careful guidance and persistence on our behalf. We highly recommend Zach to anyone looking for an honest, reliable agent.

Client review

We recently worked with Zach to purchase our condo in Playa Vista. After living in the suburbs for over a year, we knew it wasn't the right fit for us. Being newish to the LA area, we weren't sure where to go. Zach was a great sounding board - helping us to figure out what we wanted in our next neighbourhood and home. We're making the reverse move of most young families, so we really appreciated that Zach listened to our needs rather than suggesting we stay further out in the suburbs. We found Zach's expertise helpful throughout the entire process, but really appreciated how he guided us through the offer process. We never felt pressured to offer more than what felt right to us. Additionally, our family has specific cultural needs, and it was easy for us to chat with Zach about those. We don't hope to move anytime soon, but when we do, we look forward to working with Zach again.

Client review

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Zach Krasman as our realtor, and I cannot say enough about how awesome he is. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in capable hands. Zach's professionalism, dedication, and deep knowledge of the real estate market were evident from the start. One of the things that stood out most about Zach was his commitment to understanding our needs and preferences. He took the time to listen carefully to what we were looking for in a home and then used that information to curate a list of properties that were tailored to our specific criteria. His attention to detail and his ability to match us with the right homes made the entire process incredibly efficient and stress-free. Zach's communication skills are truly exceptional. He consistently made himself available to promptly address our inquiries, provide timely updates, and offer invaluable expert advice. Throughout the entire home-buying journey, he ensured that we remained well-informed and at ease at every step, effectively alleviating any concerns we may have had about the process. One aspect that left a profound impression on me was Zach's ability to foster a sense of inclusion. As a woman, I have often encountered situations in the realm of significant financial transactions where I felt the need to justify my presence, as if I required a male counterpart to validate my choices. Zach, however, broke this stereotype by treating me as an equal participant in the home purchase process. It's these subtle nuances that are challenging to articulate but profoundly impactful. These are the types of innate qualities that cannot be taught; they reflect Zach's genuine character. This, combined with his overall approach, made me feel not just valued but truly cared for throughout the entire journey. In the end, thanks to Zachs expertise and dedication, we found our dream home. We couldn't be happier with the experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a realtor. If you want a realtor who will go the extra mile, prioritize your needs, and make the process enjoyable, Zach Krasman is the one to choose. He truly is awesome!

Client review

Zach was great - my house sold in less than a week! He helped me prepare everything so it would be perfectly appointed and look amazing. What an incredible experience - he was awesome! I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Client review

Zach was amazing! He found the perfect home for my brother to purchase. My brother does not use the internet so it was a challenge. Zach was very patient and supportive during the process.

Client review

This writing is to recommend, wholeheartedly and without reservation, realtor Zach Krasman. He recently helped us sell our home of over 20 years to facilitate our move from Southern California. We bought the house in 2001, then upgraded certain features, landscaped, and did some remodeling. Time passed, and while we kept up the premises, some maintenance was deferred as we worked on our long term plans to leave L.A. We found our current home, away from L.A., in October 2022, and bought it, thinking we would either rent out the L.A. home if the market for sale was bad, or sell it, then began meeting with realtors. We liked some of them, but each had their own approach and none really clicked with us. Then the realtor who helped us with our new-home search, who is also a long-time family friend who did a great job for us in buying our new home, researched his companys database of realtors and interviewed several, ultimately landing on Zach, who he recommended to us. We liked Zach right away. But more than that, we were impressed by his clear-eyed professionalism. After spending a few minutes getting acquainted and touring the premises, he explained how he approaches selling a home. We will leave that to Zach to explain to prospective clients, but what he said was straightforward and made great sense. What he told us differed from the varied statements we got from the other agents who sought to list our home. We met with him a couple more times before listing with him; he remained consistent in his approach, never pandering, and offered up an understandable analytical model as to pricing the house and marketing it, and as to what we could expect. Another benefit was that he had a contractor who provided an amazingly reasonable price to address the deferred maintenance and make some upgrades to facilitate the sale. What we wanted was to work with a solid, knowledgeable and experienced professional who would handle things. We signed the listing agreement with Zach in December 2022, then moved from L.A. on December 15, We told Zach he had carte blanche with respect to design and color choices for the house, as well as to when and how to market the property. Throughout, he checked with us on everything to make sure we approved, and we said yes to everything he suggested. Zach entirely managed the entire remodel project as we were living outside of Southern California. We got out of Zachs way and gave him the space and freedom to treat the remodel and sale of our home as it if if it was his own investment project, which, in a way, it is, since a realtor gets paid only if and when the property sells. Zach delivered big time. His instincts as to when to activate the listing process, first through his companys private listing service, were spot on, especially given the impact interest-rate changes were having on the real estate market during January and February 2023. His contractor did great work (we visited the house once the work was done) at an amazingly reasonable price. As a result of Zachs handling of the project, we had multiple offers well above ask before the property hit the MLS, all from his efforts through his companys private listing service. It played out exactly as Zach said it would, except that the ultimate sale price was above what he intimated it could be. When the first offer fell through, Zach had two others waiting and ready, one at the same price as the first, another higher. We relied on Zach for guidance and advice while navigating the different offers. He never pushed one over another, but would explain different aspects of each to us, then when we expressed out our thoughts, he would respond analytically, still leaving the choice to us, but with guidance. Then, during the inevitable hiccups that plague anything associated with human affairs, Zach remained calm and analytical, and guided us through the close with sober, cogent advice gleaned from his years of experience and sound approach to selling homes. Zach did us right, three times over. We recommend him wholeheartedly.

Client review

Zachary Krasman recently helped us sell both our condo rental in Hollywood and single-family home in North Hollywood. Zachary has an incredibly keen eye for detail and current understanding of what prospective buyers look for in a property. Together, these qualities helped us secure a sale price over asking on both properties. The process was as stress free as could be due to Zachary handling all aspects of readying our condo rental and home for public listing. We felt confident that he was always doing his best work on our behalf. Ultimately, we think thats what everyone wants in a real estate agent and Zachary has it in spades. We highly recommend hiring Zachary Krasman to buy or sell your next property. Youll be in excellent hands! Jose & Joshua

Client review

First time (and very nervous) homebuyer who relied heavily on Zach in finding an amazing home in LA. Zach is extremely knowledgeable about the LA market, home buying process, and micro/macro real estate finance landscape. Just as importantly, he is professional, kind, and always there to answer questions and provide guidance. My fiance and I both believe we would not have found our dream first home without Zach. I cannot recommend Zach highly enough.

Client review

I could not be more proud and delighted to recommend Zack Krasman's high EQ, IQ, and subject matter expertise; utilizing those fields to perfectly navigate the ever evolving Real Estate Market as well as raising this buyer up with flexibility, kindness, and education. Zach is a great family man who brings that same warmth into the buying process. This process of finding and buying my new condo in West Hollywood was smooth and easily navigable all thanks to Zach's expertise and overall deep sense of empathy and care. 10/10 I recommend to anyone even considering exploring the market!

Client review

Zach is beyond amazing! Zach facilitated our home purchase, and as first-time home buyers in an intensely competitive LA housing market, we could not have been in better hands. He was incredibly responsive, thorough, and patient throughout every step of the journeyaEUR" from culling our home selection, to making comprehensive offers, and navigating the inspection process. His experience, charisma, and intelligence makes him an outstanding real estate agent, and we would absolutely team up with him again!

Zach Krasman is the best realtor we've had the pleasure of working with. His industry knowledge, his creative vision for staging, his availability to answer questions and assuage concerns, and his frank, compassionate candor - it all adds up to a fantastic experience. Can't recommend his services highly enough!

Client review

Zach was a fantastic partner for my first home buying experience! Through all the ups and downs, Zach was always patient, encouraging, and supportive. Zach also took the time to educate me as we moved through the process so I could understand what I was signing, what came next, and what to expect. Homebuying can really feel like a leap of faith aEUR" especially in Los Angeles aEUR" but Zach made it all feel attainable and empowering. I'm so happy in my new condo and grateful to Zach for making it happen!

Client review

As a first time buyer, I could not have asked for a better person to work with than Zach Krasman. He was hands on in the best way and never had an issue answering the thousands of questions I threw at him. He was patient and encouraging and we have now found our dream home, a condo right in the heart of West Hollywood. Highly recommend!

Client review

We had the pleasure of working with Zach in Woodland Hills, CA. We were buying a condo not seen, and were relying on Zach to view the condo for us. He was very easy to work with and went out of his way to help us. We would definitely recommend him as a realtor if you're in need of a new home in the LA area.

Client review

Zach is extremely knowledgeable and deeply in touch with the concerns and questions that frequently arise for first time home buyers. He walked us through a tough and fast paced market and gave us the insight we craved when putting out offers.

Client review

It is my pleasure to recommend Zach. Ive worked with Zach for some time now and find him to be a skilled negotiator, crediting him with brokering the sale of one of our properties at a price far beyond my expectation.Zachs wealth of knowledge and experience in residential real estate in the Los Angeles area make him a valuable resource for anyone looking for representation. Zach is highly personable, professional, and attentive with the ability to build strong relationships. I look forward to working with him in the future.

Client review

My husband and I are eternally grateful that we were put into contact with Zach through a very close friend. From the get-go Zach was whole heartedly invested in being our real estate advocate. It goes without saying this market can be tough to navigate for a buyer, especially first time buyers like ourselves facing constant stiff competition with multiple offers on listings and even rising interest rates. Taking all of these factors and many more into account, Zach was able to secure us a beautiful move-in ready home in our top desired neighborhood in barely 2 months. His talent, tenacity, work ethic and knowledge are outstanding and on top of that, hes a true joy to be around and communicate with in any situation. My husband and I know weve found our real estate agent for life here in Los Angeles. We also know weve made a great new friend in the process. We couldnt recommend Zach enough.

Client review

Zach is the best!! He is a super friendly guy who also is a pro. He is very accessible, communicative, and knowledgable when it comes to real estate. We loved working with him and highly recommend him!!

Client review

I think it's rare or at least a bit hard to find some one who is incredibly good at their job, a professional, who is also a person you would want to have as a friend. But you get that with Zach. And that is something you can tell right off the bat. This is the first time I have ever done the headache of trying to buy a house. And in a crazy market such as LA, that headache is more of a migraine, BUT with Zach at my side, that headache went away. Not only is he INCREDIBLY good at what he does, he fights for you. Fights to get you what you want. Even if you don't know it at times. He made my first experience of buying a house informative and exciting. If and whenever I buy another house in the future, I will 100% contact Zach again. So before I go on rambling too much, Zach Krasman is phenomenal and I highly HIGHLY recommend him!

Client review

I cant say enough good things about the professionalism, effectiveness, sensitivity, kind support and great results with Zach Krasman on the sale of my house. The advance preparation even before the listing brought in prospective buyers to the open house that far exceeded even the highest expectations. The house sold, reaching my personal goals, also in the best time possible. The personal support and team collaboration every step of the way was fantastic and didnt diminish even a spec after the house was sold. What was a challenging experience for me selling my 17 year home was made softened, expedited and completed successfully, sensitively and warmly every step of the way. I'm completely grateful to Zach and give him my heartiest recommendation in all ways.

Client review

Zach helped us sell our home in Los Angeles. His deep understanding of the market and strong relationships were leveraged throughout the process to get us the best deal possible. In addition to that, almost everything was signed and managed virtually which certainly makes things go a lot faster.I highly recommend Zach for your real-estate purchasing and selling needs and I welcome the opportunity to work with him again.

Client review

Zach seriously knows what he's doing. I had so many questions, too many, if you ask my husband, and Zach was responsive and thorough in answering each one. In fact he answered a variety of my questions regarding LA real estate market, financing and the important structural elements of the house without any hesitation whatsoever. For an anxious first-time home buyer, that is key. His knowledge, expertise and connections with other real estate agents enabled us to we close on a house within months of deciding we might be interest in buying one. But it's his affable personality that made this otherwise stressful process, actually enjoyable. I'd recommend Zach to anyone and everyone. If you're an intimidated first-time homebuyer, let Zach put you at ease and help find you a home.

Client review

Zach was the best. He was incredibly patient, flexible and informative. He intuitively knew how to help us both intellectually and emotionally through the house-hunting process. His relationships with other agents and the sophisticated knowledge/context he provided were indispensable. Would wholeheartedly recommend to all friends, family and colleagues in need of an agent!

Client review

Zach recently assisted me to purchase my home in Glendale.I highly recommend him if you are looking for a professional and attentive real estate professional

Client review

Wow! Zach is wow! We did two back-to-back sales transactions in the middle of a pandemic in very dynamic circumstances using Zach as our agent. This is one of our best decisions of 2020-2021! Zach navigated all the details and the big issues with equal ease making our move out of state easy and fruitful. I felt he was always gracious and helpful to each person in every part of the process and I felt good being represented by someone who not only treated me well as a client, yet also did right by all. I highly recommend Zach!

Client review

We are so lucky to have found our first home under Zach's guidance and expertise. He was readily available to talk through any of our questions and concerns during what is a big life change and an overwhelming process. In moments when we felt discouraged, he was level headed and warm. When we needed to get something done, Zach never failed to follow up and follow through. He was an incredible advocate for us, as he forged sincere but direct relationships with other agents in order to get the deal done. We will be forever grate to Zach for helping us secure our first home.

Client review

I wish I could give 6 stars! Zach made the home buying experience so easy. From search, to offer, to close, Zach anticipated the questions I would have by proactively providing all the information I needed. I was nervous going into such a hot market, and because of Zach's responsiveness, expertise and honesty, he made the whole experience a delight. I am so excited to be in my new home, it's exactly what I was looking for.

Client review

Zach's industry knowledge and expertise is matched only by his charming and gregarious personality. I began the process of purchasing a home with trepidation, but Zach made me feel informed and confident at every step. I cannot recommend Zach highly enough to anyone who might be buying or selling a home!

Client review

Zachary is an incredibly thoughtful and professional real estate agent to have on your side. He explained every step, was incredibly responsive, and answered all of our questions (even the silly ones) and helped us through the offer process with professionalism, industry knowledge, and accuracy! As first time home buyers it was important to us to have a realtor what we felt comfortable with, and Zach fit the bill. Zach helped us close on our first home and we couldnt be happier!

Client review

Zach helped us buy our first home! He couldn't have been more helpful and patient with our needs and criteria. With so much experience, he was able to expertly guide us through the inevitable hoops and challenges, and encouraged us to ask the right questions . His dedication is also unparalleled. We closed on the house a year ago, and can still rely on him for advice and recommendations. We're incredibly fortunate to have his guiding hand, and look forward to enthusiastic endorsements at every opportunity.

Client review

Zach was instrumental in getting us into our home. At every step of the way he was knowledgable about the market, and savvy about the process. He made the whole process fun and we felt like he had our backs 100%. We're very grateful to have had him in our corner.

Client review

Zachary is incredibly professional and because of this he is able to form strong working relationships with other agents, inspectors, and tradespeople. There is a great level of mutual respect. He was always prompt to respond to questions and address any of our concerns, which was especially appreciated since we are first-time buyers. He was also genuinely excited for us and that enthusiasm carried through all of his work. I would absolutely recommend Zachary to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
