Lacy Burke – RE/MAX

Lacy Burke is one of the hardest working realtors in the industry. My wife and I were about to buy a house from an owner who was also a seller. He told us to go through his lender. I called Lacy who was referred to me by my friend who hired him for his home in Brentwood. Lacy walked me through what is called the comparables and showed us that we would be over paying so much that it would cost us 8 years or more to catch up. He represented us through the process. This particular seller did not like me because I refused to go through his lender which is not legal. Lacy then said Matt… I know you love this neighborhood I will drive from Santa Monica to Ventura to show you more houses. Not only did he do that he also came back on his own time to door knock every house on the neighborhood that my wife and I wanted!!! He even found another realtor in the area to door knock as well to get the buzz going in the neighborhood. 3 weeks ago we received a call from Lacy saying that he has found a house with a seller that is moving across the country and would like to sell their home to someone who will love it just as much as they do. We visited the property and it was more than we ever expected. We met with the seller and Lacy and negotiated a deal that made everyone happy and we just put our down payment down. We are so excited to be in escrow I can not even sleep and this is why the review is being posted so late! Lacy thank you for making a dream a reality you made us a home owner and it would not of happened without you. We hope you continue to grow in your success, you better hang on tight you’re going to be incredible busy. Any of you looking for a realtor the search is OVER!!!

This realtor has been very informative on the housing market In my area or the area we would like to buy in. We’ve seen several homes and we are about to get ready to choose. All of this has been a great experience.

I found Lacy looking at open an house! He came across a little confident but very professional and knowledgeable… Especially in the local Santa Monica condo market. I was so impressed that I hired him on the spot. I couldn’t be happier with his performance and results working with him for over 3 months now. Too those Unilocalers that write reviews from first impressions or from silly miss understandings… SHAME ON YOU!!! Lacy Burke tells you how it is and in my opinion is hard to find, straight up and simply amazing!

The worst agent I’ve ever dealt with!
1) He responded to an online inquiry by calling me at 11:30 pm
2) He called me at an appropriate hour the next day and when I returned his call he refused to have a decent conversation and answer any of my questions
3) I asked about the relative size of the rooms and he acted insulted and annoyed that I would even ask any questions. «I don’t know — I get 20 calls a day about this place [mind you he called me twice in 12 hours] so I can’t answer any questions. If you like the photos you should come check it out immediately.
AWFUL! Do not work with him.

There are no words to describe how rude and unprofessional Lacy Burke is… but maybe this can sum it up:
Upon visiting an open house this past Sunday that he was the listing agent for… I along with two other visitors were a bit confused as to where the property was located as the entrance was in an alley. There were no open house flags or signs, therefore we were basically wandering around perplexed. We finally found the property… there was no warm welcome from Lacy Burke, so I asked if he was the listing agent to which he replied yes.
The other two people went off to look around… and so I simply asked Lacy Burke if there was another entrance since it was strange to have the front entrance off of an alley. He immediately got this mean look on his face and began pointing to the alley almost yelling in such a rude, condescending tone like I was an imbecile …“does it look like it, look can you see that this is the entrance, are you looking, it’s right in front of you, it’s an alley, can’t you see that it’s an alley”… I was shocked and couldn’t believe these poor owners hired a person like this to represent them. So I said oh yes, I see it… I am a human being with eyes and see very well actually… but I cannot believe how rude you are. He shrugged his shoulders insinuating a whatever attitude. Then he says to me «yeah well I sell one or two houses a month»…I was thinking… so is that supposed to excuse your disgusting behavior? Lacy Burke is a downright nasty person that has no business being in the real estate industry and mistreating innocent people this way. So do yourselves a favor and stay far away from Lacy Burke.

If I told you I knew a real estate broker who could sell your condo in 4 days,
and get you $ 10,000 OVER your asking price, would you want him to sell your condo?
Well, that’s exactly what Lacy Burke did for me! 4 days and $ 10,000 OVER!
Then he made sure I had a place to buy, and stayed on top of each step throughout the process to the close. So I sold and bought real estate with Lacy all in 40 days. He made us all happy new homeowners before Christmas!

We had a pleasant experience with this brokerage. Everyone was professional and polite. We worked with Lacy Burke whom was extremely helpful, well detailed and made the entire process effortless. We had somewhat high expectations for the property we were looking for and we would like to thank you once again for being patient and diligent with us. We will refer you to every opportunity we come across for you.
