Tony Accardo is the only realtor I would use in the South Bay. Between his local knowledge and experience combined with his unparalleled ethics, he was not only able to get me top dollar for my house but find us the perfect home in a matter of a couple of days. He made the challenging home selling/​shopping experience into an informed and insightful process that significantly reduced the stress for me and my wife. Simply stated, he’s the best!

Working with Tony is an absolute nightmare. He represented the buyers of our (now former) home and I flat out can’t warn you enough to stay away. They were unresponsive, dragged their feet, did not perform, did not even respond to our notices to perform, did not respond to our cancellation of contract, avoided our realtors calls and emails, and generally wasted everyones time by going completely dark for weeks on end. If I could go back, I can honestly say I would rather re-​list my home and deal with ANY other realtor or buyer, vs dealing with Tony again, even if we ended up getting a lower purchase price. He is totally unprofessional, terrible in communication, and borderline unethical in the way he presents offers that he KNOWs up-​front cannot be substantiated. Be prepared for a painful, nit-​picky negotiation, a request for repairs list of epic proportions, constant 11^th hour changes, and a generally childish, immature demeanor. If you’ve ever tried arguing logically with a stubborn, uneducated, uninformed 10 year old, you’re well prepared to deal with Tony and team! I should also mention the buyers he brought to the table were an absolute joke, which is probably representative of the people he generally surrounds himself with.

Tony is one of the most honest and helpful people we know! It’s been 3 years that we have worked with him and we really can say how lucky we are to have found him as our realtor! Coming from a different country, he helped us settle down and get everything running (he just seems to know a lot about everything). From the beginning, we knew that we could trust Tony and that he would do everything to help us.
After a short break back in our home country, Tony found us a very nice home in our old neighborhood-​that was a tough challenge for Tony but one of the most important things for us since we did not want to change elementary schools and he made it happen! Unfortunately, within the year we had to move again and he made the impossible possible… after weeks looking around he found a house directly one street around the corner, perfect for our family and again saving us from changing schools. Tony basically sent out a mailing to the surrounding area with our specific housing requirements and found us our current home. He made us the luckiest people ever not once but twice!
Writing a glowing review for Tony is our way to say thank you to him for all his time, energy and hard work. We love our home and highly respect Tony as our Realtor!

Very Professional, and his experience and his strategy in selling our house was the key.

We can’t say enough about how happy we are that we chose Anthony (Tony) Accardo from Beach City Brokers to represent us through the stressful home buying process in Manhattan Beach.
Our communications with Tony started in Spring 2011 when we were still living in San Francisco and preparing for our move to L.A.‘s Southbay. We were leaning towards renting for a couple years, but that didn’t keep him from lending us a hand and offering up his knowledge of the area. He offered to do an online web demo for us so that we could see his computer screen through ours while he walked us through a map of the different areas of the many beach towns all the way from Santa Monica down to Palos Verdes. We were really impressed with how much he knew about the demographics, the school systems, and the nuances of many neighborhoods, which gave us a better feel for where to focus our attention and who we wanted to work with.
Tony was always available anytime we had questions. Something that sets Tony apart from many other agents is that he was always looking out for our best interests. He never led us down the singular path of trying to get us to «buy, buy, buy.» He always thought in terms of opportunities for us.
We originally had our hearts set on a particular style of home and a few that were already remodeled. Every time we saw these types of homes we began to realize (through Tony) that these homes had already been maximized as far as their investment return potential. And even though we were buying for the long term, it was our goal to buy something that could also represent an immediate investment in case we decided to shorten our stay in the L.A. area.
Tony is good at evaluating a homes potential and figuring out if there are multiple opportunities on one home. What are the home’s upside? Can we add on and increase the home’s resale potential? Etc. Etc…
I’m sure there are a number of good real estate agents who would have been capable of finding us a good home. The reality though is that Tony went out of his way to «find» us our home. It wasn’t even on the MLS nor was it even for sale. It was a property that was in a neighborhood he knew we loved. There was a «For Rent» sign on the house, so he approached the listing agent and asked if the owner would consider selling. He had know idea if we would be interested since it was smaller than the homes we were looking at and it had one less room than we were looking for. The listing agent quickly said the owner was not interested in selling. Then a day later, we were told an offer would be considered. To shorten this already long story, we are «thankfully» the new owners in that rental house.
Thanks to Tony and his team, we were able to find the right house, in a great neighborhood and with huge upside potential. He is an effective communicator and a wonderful negotiator who will put your goals first. Not only is he a qualified and highly respected buyers agent, he can successfully list your house as well. I’ve come across countless agents and loan officers who just so happen to know Tony, and they’ve all said he is a great agent. We’re lucky and thankful to not only have worked with Tony, but to have really gotten to know him during the home buying process! Thank you Tony!

Tony is a breath of fresh air. My wife and I were extremely pleased from beginning to end.
