What my Clients are saying…

A woman of her word. Samira’s expertise and high ethics make her a rare jewel in this industry where some agents sell their clients down the river for a commission. Samira could not care less about the commission. She is all about “doing the right thing” and protecting her client’s interest. The properties she found us are jewels.
                                                                    –  Priscilla Sabado, financial advisor

My attorney recommended Samira. She sold my father's house through probate and she was instrumental in making it happen. She even helped liaise between myself and a contractor I hired to do a light remodel before listing. She was always available and stayed in communication with me throughout the entire process. I couldn't ask for a more professional, attentive, and detail oriented realtor. Balancing multiple offers and contingencies, Samira stayed on top of the contracts and oversaw the undertaking with diligence and aplomb. She is a true professional.

     Samira, I wholeheartedly am grateful to you for the miracle you made happen in selling my parents’ home.  As a trial attorney, I was just astounded by your legal expertise, dedication, top-notch marketing, knowledge of all sides of the business, and willingness to go the extra-mile. You went above-and-beyond what I was hoping for and expecting. 

        You worked your heart out and hit the ground running from the very first time you saw the house, with great results!!  You are simply amazing as you proved with your integrity, knowledge, and tireless efforts to keep fighting for the very best outcome for my parents. 

         When an abusive buyer demanded a huge price reduction during escrow and you were four days away a commission check, you encouraged us to cancel escrow! You always put our interests ahead of yours even when it doubled your work for the same pay.

        You re-marketed the property when 3 weeks away from a foreclosure sale!
You used your law practice connections and obtained an extension on the foreclosure from the Trustee!  You produced a second round of multiple offers.   

         As an attorney, you had our back.  As our Broker, you got us more money even after a cancelled escrow and while in foreclosure!  With you, we have the best of both worlds.                                - Cheryl Deptowicz-Diaz, Esq. DIAZ LAW FIRM 

Samira, you offer a unique combination of skills: a practicing litigator and broker who owns a real estate brokerage.  As a trial attorney, I especially appreciate the way you meticulously structured my file so that it’s “summary judgment ready” if the need arises post- closing. You are an expert in this field, trustworthy, the consummate professional who represented me zealously. No one should purchase real estate without you as their attorney/broker.  It’s a no brainer.  
                                                        - Kyle Madison, Esq., MADISON LAW GROUP 

Samira Kermani is very thorough in her research, client focused and delivers great results. She always looked out for my best interest and was always available when I needed advice. When a deal was less than optimal, Samira encouraged me to cancel escrow even though it meant she would not get her commission. As an attorney, I value her knowledge of real estate.  She is a true fiduciary in every sense of the word.                                                                   – Jason Schwartz, Esq.

Samira goes above and beyond the call of duty. My entire family has worked exclusively with Samira since 2003. She is super dedicated to the client, loves what she does and is extremely efficient. I received “white glove” treatment from her. She always copied me on all correspondence so I was  in the loop and learned so much just reading her emails.  She advised me to cancel several escrows when the inspections or disclosures revealed problems that I did not appreciate the severity of. Her expertise as a practicing real estate attorney provides a higher level of service than with just a realtor.  Samira is a must hire.
                                            – Maureen Meulen, film editor, ELEMENT PICTURES  

Samira helped us through our first home buying journey, and I couldn't ask for a better partner! She was insightful and knowledgable, guiding us through the whole process, from initial offer, counter, and sale. The seller even went with us, over a higher bidder, because the agent wanted to work with Samira, known in the community to be straight-shooter. She made our counter competitive, while still looking out for our best interest. If we ever buy in LA again, I'd work with Samira in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone I know. - Erica F.

Karlton Stone is a one-stop shop for real estate buyers. As a litigator, I felt relieved to have an attorney/ broker represent us. I watched how you protected our interests in every step. From providing us with comps going back six months prior to drafting our offer, to re-drafting escrow instructions, reading underlying documents in the title report, calling the Title company for further details, attending all inspections with us, to negotiating favorable escrow terms and getting the seller to pay for atypical closing costs, you saved us several thousands and took excellent care of us. You truly are the Nordstrom of customer service. Priscilla Peterson, Esq.

Samira Kermani is an absolute BOSS, a total Bad A**! Samira, there are not enough kind things I can say to praise you. You have been an absolute blessing, especially when I needed it the most. Samira treated my Mum’s Estate with the highest quality and level of service, respect and diligence. After my Mum passed, we needed to sell her property and I live in Maryland. I was currently in the Career Academy for my City Fire Department, which is a hectic, time consuming, physically and mentally challenging program. It is also super selective and I was on a waiting list for years to join. Suffice to say, I had no time or ability to vet agents and sell an Estate. When our attorney introduced Samira , we booked a virtual meeting before she agreed to represent me. I knew I liked her instantly. Between her kind demeanor and professional acumen, I could not have been more fortunate that she was representing my family’s Estate. Her attention to detail, tenacity, and dedication to getting My Mum’s house ready for sale is unmatched. Her crew cleaned up the property and made it sparkle. She was patient with me and never hesitated to explain any process unfamiliar to me in great detail. She achieved a successful sale, sometimes working days-nights-weekends, she was always available. And when you consider the obstacle of the time difference, her work ethic is absolutely commendable. She represented my Mum’s estate well, and she made something I thought so unachievable, positively attainable. For any prospective clients: If you, your family, or company need representation with any kind real estate matter, Samira Kermani and Karlton Stone Realty are top of the class and a sure bet.

Thank you for the most excellent work you did in marketing the sale of my home. Not one other broker has ever worked so diligently and presented my home in such an elegant manner.  Additionally, your work in moving things along with all the most tedious legal aspects of selling a property was impeccable and precise.
                                                                                                      - Raquel Z.

Samira is my to broker/attorney for all my real estate needs.

Samira actively updated me regularly throughout the process. She’s an expert problem solver who anticipated challenges before they arose. She and her team took care of everything. Samira made it all very easy for me. Her legal expertise helped in filling out disclosures properly and protecting my family. Samira’s dedication, integrity, expertise and experience are assets any buyer or seller needs for a successful sale. - Edith Boxstein

We sold our house through Samira. She spent a great amount of time making sure everything was done flawlessly from A to Z to achieve the best profit for us. She has a great heart and cares about her clients. You will not be alone in the process. Samira is there every step of the way. - Soheil Silani, Pharm. D.

Samira was truly a godsend. We saw a house that we loved and she wasted no time in getting to know the listing agent and learned everything she could about the sellers to help us put together the most competitive offer possible. Her terms were so favorable that the seller accepted our offer despite it not even being the highest one they received! Samira really shined once we opened escrow. She is scrupulous when it comes to inspections. Even with an expedited inspection period, she encouraged us to leave no stone unturned. As a result of her rigorous approach, we were even able to get a price reduction. Most of all though, she constantly made us feel safe and secure in making this enormous financial decision. In a market that favors sellers, she put our interests first and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. - Andy Berner

Samira represented me in my purchase of real estate. She caught some shady activity by the seller.  She saved me from making a bad deal and I canceled the purchase. Samira was a pleasure to work with and really looked out for my interests.                                   - Matt Leonard, writer director, K AND M FILMS 

Unlike some agents who only show you high priced properties, Samira set up an automated MLS search engine that emailed us when a new property hit the market. She even created our very own private “Client Portal” access to the Broker’s MLS!  Samira believes in complete transparency in transactions and always copied us on all correspondence and provided lots of advice during our due diligence. Samira is a rare combination of expertise and caring.  - Marie-Anne M., investor 

Thank you for all you have done in regard to my home purchase. You have been very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and explained everything in detail to me. Your personality is warm and welcoming and you are a true professional.  I will definitely use your services again in the future and I would recommend anyone who needs a great buyer's broker to you! You provided outstanding service with a personable touch. Your expertise in real estate and law proved invaluable.

Samira delivered on every promise. She does what she says. She prepared a very comprehensive market analysis and plan.  She produced comps going back six months before we ever wrote an offer, to make sure we don’t over pay.

She is a joy to work with.                                                                                        - Jasmine M. 

As a nursing student and single working mother, I did not think I could purchase a home. But Samira made my dream of being a homeowner come true.  Samira genuinely cared about my interests. She made the process super easy and enjoyable. Samira is a classy professional whom I trust.                                       – K. Serrano

I was a first time home buyer and Samira skillfully guided me throughout the entire process. She explained everything patiently and intelligently. She didn’t push me into making any decisions, and ultimately helped us acquire the right property. I love my new home and have Samira to thank for it!
- David Spain, Northrup Grumman

We chose Samira Kermani at KARLTON STONE, INC. to sell our house. She was extremely knowledgeable and made the process easy for us. She would explain things every step of the way by spending hours of her time talking to us, on the phone, in person, through Zoom and text messages. She'll be right by your side no matter what. - Setareh P. , attorney
