Whether you are buying or selling, whether it is a home or income property, Joe has got you covered. Joe knows how to deal with difficult personalities, whether they are other agents or other buyers/sellers.

I used Joe to sell an income property and facilitate a 1031 exchange in a market that wasn't too healthy for sellers. Working together as a team, we got a full price in less than one week with very little back to the buyer at closing.

If you want a "no-nonsense", "get the job done" real estate agent, then you should choose Joe Custer. Whether you are buying or selling, whether it is a home or income property, Joe has got you covered. Joe knows how to deal with difficult personalities, whether they are other agents or other buyers/sellers. He can cut through all the useless information and get the job done to his client's advantage. If you want a partner that is on your side and is only concerned about protecting you and getting you the best deal or the best price, he's your man. I used Joe to sell an income property and facilitate a 1031 exchange in a market that wasn't too healthy for sellers. Working together as a team, we got a full price in less than one week with very little back to the buyer at closing. That's because he clearly set our expectations with the buyer and the buyer's agent. Joe also represented me a year later for a primary home purchase. This was during a seller's market with very low inventory. Joe assisted in getting me into a contract for a much sought-after building contingent on the sale of my current home. Unheard of! On top of getting the contract contingent on the sale of my current home, he was able to eliminate the chance of losing my deposit if my home had not sold. He got a large developer to change their "in-house" contract to stipulate that if I didn't sell my current home in 90 days, I would get a full refund, and not lose 3%. He understands the psychology of the other representative and was able to use that and the relationships that he built over the negotiations to get everything I wanted with little risk. And he will do the same for you!
Joe and I have worked together on four real estate transactions. Joe represented me on the sale of my home. We co-represented a client on the purchase of another home. He represented me on the lease of an apartment and represented me on the purchase of my latest home. Joe is knowledgable, professional, and responsive, and responds to transaction "ups and downs" with professionalism and solid advice. Joe did an outstanding job of advising, assisting with staging, professionally photographing, website design, and marketing my last home. It sold for top dollar within a few weeks and closed successfully on time. During the purchase of my last home, Joe coached me through lender issues and held the deal together leading to a successful closing. I definitely recommend Joe. He'll be my first call for my next real estate transaction.
Joe Custer is all that you would expect of your real estate agent - and more. When we recently sold our home in Studio City, Joe understood our needs and criteria for the sale. His demeanor was both friendly and professional. He worked diligently to ensure our goals were met regards price, timing, negotiations, ease of sale, carry-through with intricacies of transaction details, open, honest communication, and most importantly: sound, stable and experienced advice. We would not hesitate to ensure he is our real estate agent on any future property sale or purchase. We would soundly recommend him without reservation to our friends and family.
I had several requirements that made finding a condo very difficult, but Joe kept at it, letting me know about places that met my criteria, and not bothering me with information on places that did not include everything I wanted. Once we found a unit, Joe knew how far to go in the negotiations to get me the best deal possible without losing the unit. And, once we were in escrow, Joe read all the documents to make sure they were acceptable. I highly recommend Joe.
