What do Clients Say?

"Thanks to Kofi and his team! They were able to sell our house in 2 weeks, after it had been listed with other agents for 3 years…and we got full price! His marketing and expertise are second to none. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to sell or buy a home. He is the best in the biz!"

LaDainian Tomlinson, NFL Veteran, Broadcaster

"Kofi is not just a top-notch professional… he’s good people."

James Van Der Beek, Actor: CSI Cyber

"Kofi did an exceptional job selling our home and in helping us purchase our new home simultaneously. Given the long and arduous process and all of the moving parts involved with our transaction, we are confident no other agent would have been able to deliver the needed results. He showed creativity in the deal structure, patience with numerous barriers faced and a positive attitude throughout the entire process."

Steven Graciano, NFL Network

"Shout out to Kofi. He got it done. Thank you so much Kofi!"

Nick Young, Los Angeles & Iggy Azalea, Recording Artist

"Kofi Represented our client, Kevin Durant, in his search for a penthouse condo in the Beverly Hills area. Kevin had two previous real estate brokers that were unsuccessful in their search. We were referred to Kofi, then everything started to fall in place. He not only located a great place for Kevin, but negotiated a phenomenal deal. He is the only person we use in the Southern California area. Kevin and I would highly recommend Kofi for all of your real estate needs."

Buchanan Management on behalf of Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder
