Reviews
Find out why we are one of the top rated property management companies and commercial real estate brokerages in LA.
I just purchased a large apartment building through Will Tiao, and was thoroughly impressed with his and his team's professionalism throughout the deal. Will did an incredible job marketing the property, and because of that, I knew this was going to be an extremely competitive situation (which it was). Will represented me on the deal, and was straightforward in telling me that he was representing other parties. I was impressed with how open and fair he was with the whole process. He communicated clearly, letting me know exactly where my offer stood, and eventually with his guidance was able to land the deal. Once we opened escrow, he made sure everything was smooth for myself and the Seller. Whenever there were potential hiccups, Will anticipated them and dealt with them ahead of time so they wouldn't become real obstacles. In these uncertain economic times, it's more important than ever to find a commercial broker that you like, trust and can refer. I would wholeheartedly recommend Will Tiao and Tiao Properties for any multifamily apartment deals you may be considering.read moreread less
Jonathan S.3/19/2020Will helped me purchase an investment property in the LA area, and his service was nothing short of exceptional. Not only is Will refreshingly honest and firmly reliable, but he is also extremely knowledgable on investment properties and truly knows how to spot the right opportunities for his clients. In addition, there were many parts of this particular buying process that were new and unfamiliar to me, and Will was so patient and helpful throughout the entire experience. His candor and proactive nature truly made all the difference, as buying a property can often be a nerve-wrecking ordeal. With Will, it’s as easy as it can get. His team is well seasoned in the industry and it definitely shows – they stay on top of every detail, are very communicative, and in general are a delight to work with. Overall, Will and his team provided outstanding service, and I would highly recommend them.read moreread less

Worked with Ken and Will on my last duplex purchase. First off, market conditions are pretty rough right now and finding an investment property in the SoCal area proves to be near impossible. After months of searching, we finally identified a great deal. Got accepted on the first offer. Ken helped negotiate a very favorable deal in my favor. It was one of the more difficult transactions as the seller did not perform to no fault of ours. Despite that, these two calmly guided me through the turmoil and helped negotiate our way through it to get the deal done. Honestly, I lost my cool a few times and these two professionally kept my eyes on the prize. In the end, it all worked out and I pocketed an extra chunk of change to work on the property.read moreread less

Since moving to LA, I have been leasing from them for almost 2 years on Cahuenga. The application process and everything were very smooth. Our prior manager Nicole was friendly and quick to respond. Our new manager hasn't been very responsive, but fortunately, Christina at the leasing office has been amazing and super quick to get things done (shout-out to Christina!). I'm moving out now due to relocation, but I highly recommend Tiao Properties to anyone who looks for a reliable and professional property company in LA. Thank you Christina, Nicole and Tiao Properties for the experience!read moreread less
Angie Thu N.6/06/2020I have found Will, Diana, and the team at Tiao Properties to be a vital resource. The team brings a unique expertise to all of their client’s properties through their combination of Commercial Brokerage and Property Management. As someone that works in Commercial Real Estate, I believe this unique mix creates a team that understands the purchase side of the business as well as the property management side– this allows them to focus on the full spectrum of needs for their clients. The ability to understand the cap rates and numbers on the purchase as well as the nuances of property management in LA creates a team that can deliver you from start to finish. If you are looking for an expert in multi-family real estate in LA – you’ve found the team that can help with the search (step 1) all the way to the last step of effectively managing the property as an income stream. Highly recommend!read moreread less

I worked with Will and his team to purchase my first apartment building (which they are now managing as well). The process was really great and from the beginning I felt like Will really understood what I was looking for in a property. It wasn't long before we identified a building I loved with the right cash flow and price. As I was on the other side of the country through most of escrow, the team at Tiao Properties managed the inspections and kept me up to speed on what was going on. Overall I've been really happy with their services as a buyer's agent. I'll update when I have a bit more experience with the property management side.read moreread less
Adam S.8/06/2018- This is a review of Tiao Properties as a full service real estate and property management company ..Rental Review:One of the best decisions I made when deciding to rent my house was hiring the services of Tiao properties. They truly “manage” in every sense of the word.The Amazing team (lead by Diana Tiao) was extremely professional in dealing with the tenants, and provided a constant stream of communication with regards to property issues and maintenance.A thorough screening process of the tenants was conducted way before anyone was allowed to occupy.They took care of daily maintenance needs. The team had an array of contractors and handymen that were utilized when property wear and tear issues arose.They advised and managed all the finances, updated accounts, kept very organized bookkeeping and even took care of the financials regarding tax reporting.The resources and management experience available during my rental period enabled me to have full confidence and trust that someone was looking out for my property and for me.I would recommend Tiao properties as a true one stop shop when it comes to property management.My experience with them as a management company, was the main reason I chose them to sell my house… they are that good!Realtor/Sales Review:They say that selling your house is one of the most stressful times of your life and I would have to respond with “Not when you have Will Tiao as your realtor!”The sale was fairly easy, painless and certainly not stressful. The level of experience and knowledge that was provided, made for a very straightforward and calculated sale.Will was forthcoming with plenty of information. He consistently communicated with me during the entire process and gave accurate timelines throughout.Will was the driving force behind the decision-making and his transparency and professionalism were the key factors in closing at $263K over asking!I very much trusted Will through this process and look forward to working with him again in the future.read moreread less

It was truly a pleasure working with Will Tiao & team. My five-star rating is based on three criteria: 1) Knowledge of Market I opted to invest in an area that I was pretty unfamiliar with but heard murmurings about it being an up-and-coming area. Will was able to provide the much-needed context & insider scoop about the area — an area he's been following for 3-4 years now. 2) Deal Sourcing He identified an off-market property that wound up appraising for more than $100K over what I paid. Not mad at that! 3) Client Service Trust. I trust that Will & team have my back. I'm a naturally skeptical person, so it's hard for someone to build trust so quickly with me. I appreciated his candor — both good & not-so-good — about the property. He's quick to respond whether it be via text, email or phone.read moreread less
brian k.10/27/2018Will and his team at Tiao Properties helped me do the impossible — buy a four-plex investment property in Los Angeles for under $1 million! We all know how expensive investment real estate is in LA. Once we identified the property, we knew it was going to be very competitive with multiple offers. Even though mine was not the highest offer, we were able to get it accepted because of Will’s expertise in the area and his experience in managing and selling hundreds of multifamily units. Once in escrow, Will and his team helped me pull together the financing, the physical inspections, and handle difficult situations with the other side of the transaction. Now that we have closed (with a significant discount due to Will’s superb negotiating skills!), I’m still leaning on Will and his team for referrals for ongoing issues. If you’re thinking of buying or selling a multifamily property is Los Angeles, I highly recommend using Will and Tiao Properties.read moreread less
Zach Winner1/29/2021 - Will did a fantastic job in helping me sell my duplex property. It was a tricky deal with multiple escrow fallouts and difficult buyer demands, but he was able to help navigate all the issues strategically and with a steady hand. Additionally, WIll is a rental property investor and runs a property management company, so brings with him a wealth of knowledge and resources – a valuable addition to any RE investor’s team. This is my second successful deal with Will, and I’d highly recommend him whether you’re buying or selling multifamily properties.read moreread less
Gene Chen6/29/2021Will is not merely a real estate broker, he’s a real estate coach. The bottom line is that I would not have a closed deal right now had Will not been involved with our purchase. We were faced with inordinate challenges on this project but working with Will allowed us to finalize it without the stress that could have unfolded had he not navigated the waters as thoughtfully as he did. Not only is Will a skilled negotiator with a knack for reading business situations and social dynamics extremely well, he’s so incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate industry and how it works, I felt like I received a graduate level course on complex real estate matters at the same time I got a difficult deal closed. If you are the type of person who cares about working with a professional who prioritizes their quality of work, values a deep knowledge of the real estate market, and cares to be exceptional at what they do, you will love working with Will. He’s EQ + IQ meets real estate. His monthly seminars on real estate are also excellent — it’s how I came to know his team and I’m very grateful I did. We are basically counting the days until we can work with him again!read moreread less
Alison C1/29/2020I was searching around for a property management company and came across Tiao properties through Yelp.They gave us insight to all that they do in regards to property management and some referrals to great experienced vendors.They have a great online property management system that takes care of rent payments even repair requests. Will and team have been very professional managing the property, even helped mediate a good conclusion with a problem tenant.Besides being a great property management team, Will is very knowledgeable in all things real estate. He has answered all my questions and concerns regarding my real estate portfolio. As well as put us in contact with others to help on the finance side. Thanks for all your help and guidance!read moreread less
Nithee Disri1/29/2020 - I interviewed so many realtors before finally deciding on Will and Ken to help me with my purchase of my first multi family property. I chose them because they seemed the most experienced in the space, and I liked that they also had a property management company in case I ever needed those services in the future.Ken was my main point of contact throughout the buying process and it was a great experience. My favorite parts about working with this team were:1. They truly work in your best interest. Some other agents may push you to close on a deal purely because it will get them paid faster. Ken was absolutely not like that. He was not afraid to say “I don’t recommend moving forward with this deal.” He wanted to make sure you felt comfortable in your decision and felt good about moving forward. Even after we entered escrow, he made sure to check in with me that I am still feeling good about the transaction, and reiterated that we can cancel escrow if we needed to. We ended up cancelling escrow on a property where we found major issues, and Ken was very supportive throughout the whole process.2. They really know their stuff. If you are looking for a team that knows all of the little nuances about buying multi family and property management in LA, this is the team for you. There were so many small details, like rent freezes, permits, inspections, etc. that I would have never known if not for this team. Even though I was working with Ken and Will on the real estate side, Diana on the property management side went out of her way to answer my questions about property management. They are some of the most knowledgeable people in the space, especially for the LA market.3. They are well connected. The property I ended up purchasing was an off-market deal brought to me by their team. This helped because there was no competition for the offer, and it expedited a lot of the process. Especially in this competitive market, off market deals are where you can still find a lot of value, so you need a well-connected agent. This team is that and more. In addition, because of their property management business, they are very well connected to plumbers, handymen, contractors. inspectors, etc. I will definitely continue to lean on them as I manage my first property.The three points above were the highlights of my experience, but overall it was such a pleasant experience working with them. The cherry on top was they even sent me a gift basket and Lowe’s gift card after I closed! Small detail, but was a great end cap to a long buying process. I’m very happy with my decision and will continue to work with them for future purchases.read moreread less
Megan Tiu12/08/2021My husband and I are first time investors in real estate. Investing in residential real estate can be overwhelming with all the different choices, but Will and Diana helped put us at ease by making every step of the way very clear and easy to follow. They helped us find a 4 unit property in West Hollywood that needed some renovation. After taking us through a complicated escrow process, we hired Tiao Properties to manage the property, and they helped us find the right vendors to fix up everything. They then leased out the property for great rents. We are extremely happy with their services and have already recommended them to many of our friends.read moreread less

Dave Russell6/17/2021 - Real estate transactions are an absolute nightmare. They’re surrounded with huge financial obligations, stress, and can tax you beyond the breaking point. That is why it is so incredibly important to surround yourself with broker’s that represent YOU with integrity and honesty. Give yourself the chance to work with Will and Diana Tiao. Not only are they exceedingly proficient and resourceful, they are great people. Yes, I had 10 offers within one week of listing. Yes, they alleviated stress by referring me to trusted skilled tradesmen (extremely important). But, what sets them apart more than anything else? They actually care. Do yourself a favor and give them a call. It starts with a conversation that can create a relationship that’ll last you a lifetime.read moreread less

He has now represented me on three different properties and each and every time I have been thrilled with the result. Will is efficient, knowledgeable and hard working. He consistently delivers without ever complaining. If you work with Tiao Properties, you can sleep well at night knowing you’re in very capable hands. I strongly recommend them.read moreread less

jonathan cheng1/29/2020
A couple expecting in three months, two teenagers and a grandpa needed just the right home, fast. With the sale of grandpa's house, the end of the couple's lease and the due date looming, I recommended one realtor from the dozens of top L.A. agents I know–actually a team with high ethics, knowledge of the market and the ability to close win-win deals, even in tough circumstances. Will Tiao, who heads the Tiao Properties team at the collective realty and teaches real estate for novices to advanced students, managed the project…for months. While touring homes, the family kept adding to the wish list. Ken Dennis never ran out of patience or hand sanitizer. Kyra Wasmundt made sure forms were completed properly by multiple parties, online. Diana Tiao and the girls even delivered lunch on moving day. Without the savings from the below-asking offer and credits they negotiated for us, the purchase and repairs might have been impossible. I'd recommend my family use the Tiao team again in a heartbeat, except for one thing. Ken got this family a forever home.read moreread less

If you are SERIOUS about selling your home (or duplex in our case) and get the best price for it and service, then I wholeheartedly recommend you to contact and sign a contract with Will Tiao and his highly efficient team. Or just get a no-frills consultation from him! We made the mistake of listing with another real estate agent, without doing due diligence, and she sat on our properties wasting a whole year without even bringing one offer–any offer as we told her! Then we found Will (on Yelp!) and we have never looked back. We got the best personal service and several offers and our property was sold at an excellent price and way over what was listed with the previous agent. I was originally skeptical after our bitter experience with the previous agent and was hesitant with Will, but he pleasantly proved me wrong. He also gave us a commission break as he also found the buyer (no third party). Please get moving with Will, who has many potential investors, if you are serious about selling, buying, getting the best service, flexibility and an expert! Mark my word, you will not regret it.read moreread less
Ashok S.7/22/2018- Will Tiao did a phenomenal job helping us sell a multi-family apartment building we inherited and had not personally managed. Not having any real estate experience ourselves, the thought of trying to sell a very old building with long-term tenants and low rents was daunting. But Will’s in-depth knowledge of our area and the market, and his personal as well as professional experience in dealing with properties such as ours, inspired our confidence. But before we decided to list with Will we wanted to talk with a few other agents and Will graciously encouraged us to do just that. He was never pushy but was always ready to talk with us and offer his help.As a seller I wanted an agent that I felt comfortable working with but also one that I thought would represent us well to potential buyers. Will was personable and professional and demonstrated solid media and marketing skills. Having interviewed other agents we felt that some wanted to list high because they thought that’s what we wanted; others wanted to list low because they saw all the downsides of the property. We felt Will’s recommended listing price was the most honest and realistic and based on a strategy which resulted in our final sales price being $200,000 over the listing price. We couldn’t have been more pleased.During a crazy seller’s market, Will handled the onslaught of calls and offers with ease. He was patient and coached us through the process of selling and doing a 1031 exchange. Will worked diligently to keep the sale moving forward smoothly despite some unexpected glitches. Will has a ready laugh that kept things light when I started to get stressed. Will was definitely a godsend and we highly recommend him and Tiao Properties.read moreread less

The team at Tiao Properties, led by the amazing Will Tiao, did a wonderful job. We were first-time buyers and they clearly & calmly walked us through the nuances of the process. It's a very competitive market, but we felt like we had some of the most savvy people in the Los Angeles real estate game fighting for us. In the bidding process, Will and his team put their years of experience toward helping us strategize. And after our bid was accepted, they could have taken their foot off the gas but instead did a great job negotiating to get us the best deal possible. Will also seems to know the right person for every type of issue that could come up and we are continuing to rely on him for these recommendations. We strongly recommend Tiao Properties, particularly for first-time buyers.read moreread less

I am so glad that we had chosen Will Tiao to represent us selling an apartment building in Echo Park. I found Will based on his excellent reviews online. I am happy that I can now join others to write this positive review as a completely satisfied client. I met with Will face to face a few times before signing the contract with him. I gained confidence each time we met. Will listened to my needs, answered all my questions and worked with me closely to accommodate my schedule. He has very good judgement and business ethics and is very knowledgeable in commercial real estate. Will and his team did a stellar job in getting our apartment to market and streamlining the sale process with multiple offers. We are very happy to secure a sale at way above the asking price. Will had Ken Dennis from his office helping us with the sale process. Ken is extremely responsible and went way above and beyond putting everything in place so efficiently and effectively, and keeping me informed of his progress. I am most impressed with his ability to tackle every issue that came up in a very calm and professional manner. Thank You Ken!! I am forever grateful for your dedicated hard work and your attention to detail that helped me stay calm during the sale. With Will and Ken's professional skills and dedication I am very pleased that we were able to close the escrow in 30 days after we accepted the offer.

Adam Smith1/29/2019 - Will Tiao and his team stand apart from the competition in LA. They have had years of successes in real estate sales, management, and development in key parts of LA. It is because of their sterling reputation that my partner and I entrusted Will and his team with our purchase and sale of three different types of residential properties: condominium, single family residence, and multifamily property. From our experiences, here are top three reasons why we recommend Will and his team and would use him again for our next purchase or sale: 1. Will is a great advocate when it comes to negotiating offers and counteroffers and in dealing with other parties. His stunning background in international trade policy and Hollywood comes into play here at the client’s advantage. Will helped us strategize and obtain good outcomes on all of our sales and purchases. 2. Will is a great advisor. His strong local knowledge about the neighborhoods and local regulations is founded on his brokering, property management, and development experience in LA. From neighborhood safety, zoning, entitlements, easements, to landlord-tenant matters, we knew we could count on Will and his team to get it right. 3. Will is a great connector and has deep connections in the real estate industry. He is just one speed dial away if you need a solid connection to a handyman, a CPA who advises real estate investors, a real estate attorney, or a home staging specialist. We’ve consulted with everyone Will has recommended and have been happy with them all. Will and his team have handled all of our matters expeditiously and to our great satisfaction. We wholeheartedly recommend them for any residential matters in LA.read moreread less

We used Tiao properties (Will Tiao) as our broker to find our income property which is a four plex in Echo Park. We found Tiao Properties as a referral and we want to spread the word on how wonderful they are! Will diligently pursued all the listings as soon as they came up and advised us on which properties suited our goals and needs. After the purchase, we hired them to do our property management as well. The transition was seamless. Will, his wife, Diana, and Nelle (their assistant) have done a fantastic job with the property management. The change of ownership was a bit rocky at first as the previous owner did not notify the tenants until practically the day before COE of the change in ownership. Nelle jumped right on it and worked with the tenants to explain the new ownership and collected rent from 12 tenants. They are very knowledgeable on the rent control laws and experienced on how to handle tenants. They respond very quickly to us (landlords) and tenants. We are very happy with their professionalism and expertise and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy, sell, or someone in need of property management.read moreread less

All the while they kept us updated on what was going on. We’re happy to say that where other agents failed, Tiao Properties succeeded! I would highly recommend them for all your real estate needs!

But Will’s in-depth knowledge of our area and the market, and his personal as well as professional experience in dealing with properties such as ours, inspired our confidence. But before we decided to list with Will we wanted to talk with a few other agents and Will graciously encouraged us to do just that. He was never pushy but was always ready to talk with us and offer his help.As a seller I wanted an agent that I felt comfortable working with but also one that I thought would represent us well to potential buyers. Will was personable and professional and demonstrated solid media and marketing skills. Having interviewed other agents we felt that some wanted to list high because they thought that’s what we wanted; others wanted to list low because they saw all the downsides of the property. We felt Will’s recommended listing price was the most honest and realistic and based on a strategy which resulted in our final sales price being $200,000 over the listing price. We couldn’t have been more pleased.During a crazy seller’s market, Will handled the onslaught of calls and offers with ease. He was patient and coached us through the process of selling and doing a 1031 exchange. Will worked diligently to keep the sale moving forward smoothly despite some unexpected glitches. Will has a ready laugh that kept things light when I started to get stressed. Will was definitely a godsend and we highly recommend him and Tiao Properties.read moreread less

raffi ayranian1/29/2019If you are SERIOUS about selling your home (or duplex in our case) and get the best price for it and service, then I wholeheartedly recommend you to contact and sign a contract with Will Tiao and his highly efficient team. Or just get a no-frills consultation from him! We made the mistake of listing with another real estate agent, without doing due diligence, and she sat on our properties wasting a whole year without even bringing one offer–any offer as we told her! Then we found Will (on Yelp!) and we have never looked back. We got the best personal service and several offers and our property was sold at an excellent price and way over what was listed with the previous agent. I was originally skeptical after our bitter experience with the previous agent and was hesitant with Will, but he pleasantly proved me wrong. He also gave us a commission break as he also found the buyer (no third party). Please get moving with Will, who has many potential investors, if you are serious about selling, buying, getting the best service, flexibility and an expert! Mark my word, you will not regret it.read moreread less

I just closed escrow on my first home with Tiao Properties and I must say that Will and Diana made this a very positive experience for me. Will made sure to communicate to me my options through the negotiations process and kept me on track/focused without being pushy (very important for a classic libra like myself lol). In the end, I felt like I came out on top of the deal. Thank you Will and Diana!read moreread less
Kevin H.10/09/2016Will Tiao did an amazing job helping me close on a property in Los Angeles. In a very tight market I was able to get an offer accepted within the first couple tries which is unheard of in the Los Angeles area. Will knows his area incredibly well and will let you know the exact price you need to offer to get accepted. He also helped me when there was a title issue with the house during escrow. I had no idea what that even meant and he was able to get that taken care of within days. He also had to deal with a very litigious lawyer on the seller’s side and a very uncommunicative seller’s agent (we later learned that the offer right below mine would have been her own client so she had good reason to not assist with closing). I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in this area.read moreread less
