Baik & Dow Real Estate

Don’t use this team! They never got back to me. I guess I didn’t fit their criteria.

After 30+ years in our Hollywood a Riviera home, my wife and I decided to down size since our 2 sons were now «off our payroll» and doing well on their own.
We interviewed several real estate agents and selected Dow and Stephanie because they had a structured sales process that included proactive canvassing, the leveraging of technology, and a track record of getting their clients more than the original listing price. They «held our hands» and diffused much of the stress of selling the structure which had been our home for 3 decades.
Even after we moved to our new home they called to make sure we were happy.

Dow is a great agent he helped us purchase our home in 2015 in San Pedro.
We had a bad experience with our last agent and we where nervous about getting a new agent. He made the whole experience comfortable for us and helped us get the home we wanted. I would highly recommend him and will definitely work with him in the future.

I met Dow over 10 years ago in college and since then we had fallen out of touch a bit. When I found out I was moving down to Los Angeles for school, I realized that the value proposition of purchasing versus renting was much better especially coming from the Bay Area. Not being very familiar with he area as well as not knowing where to start, I reached out to Dow to just point me in the right direction. When we started talking, it was like we had kept in all those years. Not only did he take the time to really ask all the questions he needed to help me make an informed decision about what areas to look in and what price range was realistic, he immediately took on much of the leg work, communicating over phone, text and e-​mail.
When I told Dow I was ready to come down to start shopping, he and Stephanie created a viewing schedule and gave me good insight into what was available and what the areas felt like as locals. They told me where they would want to live if they were in my shoes and helped me to make the right decision.
When offer time came, we formulated strategies and made the right choice in securing the right property for me. As a first time buyer, Dow was patient in his explanations of what the next steps were and took care of everything he could locally. Everything else was done over e-​mail and the internet. He arranged home inspections and pest inspections with well respected and well reviewed contractors and made the process seamless.
I would highly recommend Dow and Stephanie to help look to buy and will look to them if I ever sell or have any other real estate needs in Los Angeles. They are a great team, are always available and are quick to respond to any needs I have.

As a first-​time home buyer, my partner and I didn’t know where to start. We found ourselves in a position where buying would be much more affordable than renting in our desired area. And with only about 2 months before our lease expired and a 33% rent increase if we wanted to do a month-​month lease, which we didn’t want to do, we knew we had to act quickly.
After reaching out to Stephanie, she laid out all of the necessary steps we needed to take to get the ball rolling. She worked with our very specific list of needs, areas, and our target budget, and also strategized and negotiated with the selling agent to get our offer accepted and make sure we got the best deal possible. On top of that, she is very friendly and approachable — always quick to respond, and talked us through any concerns we had. I would highly recommend to all first-​time buyers who need a resourceful and knowledgeable realtor!

We met w/​Stephanie a few years ago and at that time, like most individuals we were not «ready» to purchase a home. However, me and my wife had a feeling that purchasing was better than renting… Stephanie was absolutely patient w/​us throughout the process. She never made us feel less important because of our «unsureness» she did everything possible to show us the house we liked. The entire process was fun and exciting! After we made up our mind to purchase a home, the process to obtain that home was extremely convoluted. She reminded focused and on task to get us the place we wanted. Towards the end, it seemed as if We lost the deal, due to some issues w/​the bank and the people involved. Stephanie went above and beyond her job description to get us the place we wanted. It almost felt like she made the impossible — possible! I recommend Stephanie to everyone who’s looking to buy or sell because this is the person who seriously and genuinely cares about her clients and never makes it seem like you don’t
know anything or wasting her time. Patient, caring, professional, focused, and results driven!

I met Dow and Stephanie many years ago at a elite agent mastermind conference and have counted them as good friends and true real estate professionals to go to for advice. They understand this ever-​changing real estate market and have proven to be a resource for me whenever I have had a question about a real estate transaction or the changes in the market.
Dow seems to bend over backwards to make sure you thoroughly understand everything. I continue to talk with him weekly on the phone picking his brain for more. And if there is something he didn’t know at an instance, he has a network of experts (title company, inspector, etc) at his fingertips to get the right answer. You’ll feel comfortable the entire process because they have the skills of seasoned pros.
I think what stands out the most is that Baik & Dow Real Estate team gets results. They are concerned with the same goal as you. they’ll get the house SOLD for top dollar. I know this because they have a bullet-​proof plan that works time and time again on all their transactions no matter the location or price. Other agents in the area and homeowners they’ve helped all say the same thing: «Dow & Stephanie will be their realtor team of choice on the next home sale».
You have lots of part time agents to chose from, but you won’t be disappointed when you hire a professional full time real estate team like the Baik & Dow Real Estate team. So take my recommendation and call them when you plan to make a move.
Thanks for always being a trusted friend and cut above the rest!

Stephanie & Dow came to our door at perfect timing, we were thinking about down sizing for a while. After meeting with them, we put our trust in their hands. They were sincere, energetic with the great network and they came up with the plan that we think will work.
We listed with them, and 10 days later, got multiple offers (seller’s dream!). We got to sell it at a price we wanted. They negotiated better terms than we thought we could get. They made the process so simple and effortless.
We were so thankful to get above asking and highest price on the street.
TERRIFIC TEAM thank you for your hard work.

I can’t recommend this team enough! We got OVER the price we were expecting and they were also able to help us find our dream home in Manhattan Beach. Not only did they work extremely hard in negotiating the best price when both buying and selling, their service is stellar. I’ve worked with a number of realtors, but was never that impressed. Without a doubt, my go to real estate professionals for life !
