“I couldn’t be happier with Lorin Ruttenberg and Erica Lockhart of COMPASS / Ahead of the Curve Homes. This was my 7th & 8th real estate transaction and they were superb on both sides. Their presentation for the sale of my house was thorough. They were very honest about the challenges of the property while giving a fair assessment of the value. It was not a sales pitch, it was a collaboration which I immediately trusted and appreciated. Both were extremely knowledgeable about the areas that I was interested in for the purchase and were able to give me specifics about the pros & cons of each area. Singularly & collectively they were able to navigate my needs and provide concierge service when I needed it or space when I needed it. These two women are highly professional, organized and productive. I would not hesitate to recommend either for any of your real estate needs.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience working with Erica. She exceeded all my expectations. She went above and beyond every step of the way. She has an intensive knowledge of the Southern California real estate market. She was on top of everything and was able to get me my house for a fair price even in a bidding war. She was always available to talk and returned every call in a timely manner. She is a true professional. I would recommend Erica to anyone buying or selling a home. She has amazing heart and only wants her clients to get the home of their dreams.”

“I've used Lorin on four residential real estate transactions. She's represented me as a buyer on two and seller on two. She's been terrific. She never places any pressure on you. She gets offers when you're selling. She always finds solutions when something comes up during the transaction.”

“Lorin and her team were great! I'm a pretty picky buyer and Lorin took her time with me. She was very knowledgeable about the area we were looking in. As a first time homebuyer she really taught me the ropes of how to buy a house in Los Angeles. We could not be happier in our new home! Thanks Lorin!”
