    Leigh, thank you for all your help over the past 7 years. Your hard work and knowledge in real estate and of the area helped with the purchase of my home in 2017 and the sell of my property due to relocation. I couldn't be more grateful to how much you've assisted me over the years. You were able to get my home sold in lighting speed. You are hands down the best realtor in the Southbay area.

    Karen is superb. She will go out of her way to help you regardless if you're a client or not. She helped us sell our RPV home effortlessly and made the process super easy...alway informing and advising us along the way. Super knowledgeable and we felt like we were in good hands with her. Highly recommend Karen for any real estate needs.

    Leigh was amazing and helped me sort out my situation quickly and gracefully. Within one day, Leigh was able to sell my property that had been attached to multiple issues. My mom and brother both passed and had to deal with a Squatter. My home was days away from going into foreclosure. I would say that from start to finish we were able to close escrow in just under 4 weeks. The process was quick and painless. I am a Registered Nurse and live in Santa Barbara County and my property was located in Los Angeles. I never once met Leigh or Karen in person but the minute I heard their voice, I knew my situation would get better. I was so impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. Everything was signed via docusign and handled via emails. I owe the world to this team and Leigh. Thank you so much!!!!

    Karen did a phenomenal job with prepping and staging our house for sale in Wilmington. Everything was done in a timely fashion with fabulous suggestions to help us with this monumental task. When we interviewed Karen, we knew that we were selecting a highly professional and committed realtor to represent us with every stage of the home selling process. The house looked so good, we were tempted not to sell the house. Karen communicated well throughout the process. Thanks Karen!

    Karen Anderson represents excellence and integrity in the Real Estate business. I am a returning client. She is experienced and knows how to represent the buyer and the seller. Karen and her team are diligent, good listeners, have excellent follow through and can unravel complex situations with ease. I highly recommend Karen and the Prestige team for your Real Estate needs, she really knows the market in Rancho Palos Verdes and the San Pedro area. The Best!!!!!

    Leigh and Karen were nothing but amazing. They matched my requirements and energy to achieve maximum value for my home fast. They directed me in many ways to put my home in the best possible position to sell. Leigh was able to bring her expertise as needed such as a staging company to showcase the home at its maximum potential. Karen added her vast knowledge to keep the process moving forward and we had multiple offers from only one open house. Not bad for a hundred-year-old house. Could not be happier with the outcome!

    Karen Anderson isn't just an outstanding real estate agent; she's a remarkable human being who prioritizes both her work and her clients' well-being above all else. Having known Karen for years, I continually choose her because I truly believe there's no one better suited to the task, and she consistently gets it done right! Recently, when I sold my house in Long Beach, Karen's expertise and unwavering commitment shone through. With her incredible knowledge and guidance, the house was expertly staged, listed, and sold well above the asking price within days. Karen and her team are always accessible, ensuring that every text, call, or email is promptly answered. For anyone in search of a dependable realtor in the South Bay or Palm Springs area, Karen Anderson is undoubtedly the top choice!

    Karen Anderson is the Best! I'm not kidding... I interviewed three agents but when I met Karen, I knew that she was the one I was going to work with. She was offering something beyond a sale of my house. She was offering an end-to-end selling package. She led a team of people (a stager, photographer, videographer, handymen, electrician, engineer...) who clearly followed her direction. Now, I am a control freak, but soon I realized that I could leave every detail to Karen and allow her to take control. She held two open houses and found a buyer for our 'Baron Castle' in less than three (3) weeks. My situation was more complex than usual since I had to buy a house contingent on the sale of my house. Karen worked closely with my other agents to assure a smooth transition. I can't thank her enough for her diligence, drive, and commitment. If you looking to buy or sell you should definitely reach out to Karen. She is AMAZING!

    Karen and her team are a Godsend! Of all the positive reviews that Karen Anderson and her team have received, I can assure you that this one should hold the most value... I am a Realtor and met Karen 2 years ago during a lengthy transaction in Yorba Linda. She brought buyers to my listing and even though we had multiple offers, I could tell that Karen was the one agent that could bring her buyers to the finish line. It was a fabulous transaction with happy clients on both ends. Fast forward to today... Just as we were preparing to move to Texas, we had some unfortunate deaths in our family. This required that we act as Trustees. We had many personal issues going on and all I could think about was how were we going to clear out two homes (one in Torrance and the other in Crestline) and sell them while we were moving to Texas. Although, I have a team of realtors in SoCal, I could not help but think back to Karen and her knowledge, her integrity, and her willingness to go the extra mile for her clients. That one phone call to Karen was definitely the smartest real estate move that I have ever made. Karen and her team cleared out 2 homes that had over 50 years of possessions. She arranged an Estate sale and cleaning on both and modestly staged both to ensure a quick sale. Both homes sold with multiple offers within a week. Karen got over asking on both due to her brilliant strategy. During the process it was very clear that Karen watched our expenditures on things as if it were her own money. Karen was a great communicator, but NEVER called with an issue that she didn't already have a solution to. Both transactions closed without us knowing of any hiccups. As a side note, the first transaction did require some signatures on legal documents of one of the pre-deceased. Karen quickly offered to visit the nursing home and consult with our family member. That is only one of the tasks where she went far above and beyond. Karen is a Broker which requires a lot more education than the average Realtor so I will continue to work with Karen for years to come and hope that she never retires!!!

    We have purchased 3 homes and sold 2 with Karen and would never dream of using a different realtor. We recommend her to everyone. She is the epitome of "good people". She cares deeply for her clients and it shows. Anytime I need anyone for anything (a cleaner, a gardener, an electrician, a recommendation for anything!) I call her. She always has someone to recommend and they are also always good people. She values relationships and quality/ credibility and this is obvious in how loyal others are to her, and vice versa. Karen helped us find and buy our first home in 2017. We had no idea what we were doing. Karen was so knowledgeable, thorough and skilled. She explained everything so we understood the process. No question was too small or silly. She was generous with her time and expertise. She guided us yet ensured we were making our own choices. We felt an enormous sense of trust and gratitude. In 2020 we reached out to Karen to ask a few questions about a house for sale in a more desirable area. We thought it was probably out of reach but Karen was able to make it happen. In order to purchase this new home, she pulled out all the stops. We listed that first home on Friday, had open houses on Saturday & Sunday, and had 8 offers in hand by Wednesday. We moved into our new home and lived there very happily until early 2025 when we contacted Karen again just to ask some questions about a couple of houses we had seen online, thinking about a possible upgrade. She met us at the open houses and provided invaluable insights and feedback on the properties. She sent us suggestions of places that might better align with our budget and desires. Again, I thought the place we wanted was out of reach and Karen made it happen. This woman does not rest! She is so thorough and diligent that she picked up things I'm sure other agents would have missed.There were a couple of delicate moments that she massaged expertly to allow the sale to be finalized. Six months later and we are SO happy in our current forever home. And we are so grateful to Karen.

    I told my coworker the other day "if I could hire Karen Anderson to manage my life, I would." My coworker has no idea who Karen is, and I didn't care because there is not enough I can say to how amazing a job I think the Prestige Team do. I have worked with her team twice now, the first time to buy a house and the second time to sell a house. The funny thing is, I wasn't even planning on buying a house yet when I met Jonathan on her team. I was just dipping my toe into what was happening in my area and looking for maybe hiring an agent. I walked into an open house hosted by Jonathan and immediately liked his vibe. I also loved the vibe of the house, so much so, I was sold twice over. I hired him and bought the house. After that, I have reached out to both Jonathan and Karen for recommendations on work to be done, and they never fail to have qualified people I can hire. When I was ready to sell another house, there was no doubt in my mind who I was going to hire: The Prestige Team. Karen has walked us through the process, informing us in realistic terms how much the house should go for, she has hired and managed updates to the fixtures, bathroom, and kitchen, not to mention painting and gardening and electrical, and has kept us in the loop with bids. Now that the contract has already been signed, I can say I would have given her a higher commission (maybe . . . my partner would probably have something to say about that, though). In other words, HIRE THE PRESTIGE TEAM. If I could be more glowing in my review, I would!

    Karen Anderson and Leigh Hanisee worked as a great team to prepare my home in San Pedro and place it for sale, The sale went quick with three offers in two days. They helped with the negotiations and sale of my condo. I am super satisfied by the quick results they delivered.

    I was looking to buy in Rancho PV and wanted a realtor who knew the area. I decided to go with Karen based on her great reviews. She really knows her stuff and I'm so glad she represented me to buy and sell, because in this crazy real estate market only a true expert could have pulled it off. I won't go into all the hairy details that kept me up at nights, so I'll just say that having a really experienced and knowledgeable realtor like Karen is absolutely critical. She knew how to expertly navigate through the complexities of helping me buy my new home, and then sell my current home, all within a ridiculous short window. She also has furnishings to help stage, understands the loan process really well, and has a network of contractors and service professionals who are also critical to the buying/selling process. Oh, and I ended up buying in Mission Viejo and selling in Culver City. So although I would normally prefer a realtor who is an expert in that specific neighborhood, I learned that with Karen it didn't matter. She worked really hard on my behalf; so much so that I wondered if she even slept at nights. Haha.

    Karen and the Prestige team are absolutely amazing. Not only were we an answer to her prayer, but she was a major blessing in our life while implementing miracles. There are four huge reasons why I say this. 1. She pulled off a contingent Sell and Purchase using our VA financing without having to stay in a hotel while the financing was completed. 2. She sold my condo for more $$$ than any other 2 bed/2 bath units of the 52 unit Redondo Beach ocean front complex. 3. She sold our condo in under 2 weeks (during Covid). Her team stepped in like champions to assist where needed. Not only did our condo sell fast, we were able to simultaneously close a mega loan on the new home in 45 days. Truly a miracle. 4. She continually worked with the sellers of this beautiful home in San Pedro to get the house ready for market and then necessary repairs for us buyers. She has numerous contacts for repair, paint, electrical, cabinets, you name it. Karen and the Prestige team well-known in the community and loved. I will employ Karen Anderson and her Prestige team next time i sell my home. I fully recommend them to anyone and everyone I talk to. Respectfully, The new S. Walker Ave owners

    This is a quality realtor. Karen is amazing and such good people. She made the selling of our home in RPV a breeze and kept us informed through the whole process. Always finding solutions for us. Karen will go out of her way to help you regardless whether you're a client or not. I highly recommend her for any real estate needs.

    I met Leigh at an open house and I instantly knew she had the talent to represent me in selling my condo. Leigh was very professional and thorough and went above and beyond in helping me close my deal. I would definitely recommend her if you want to get the transaction done.
    Nancy D.
    Leigh Hanisee was amazing! I really enjoyed working with her and I really appreciate everything she did to help me find my home. From the day I met her at her open house in San Pedro there was just something about her, she was very personable and not pushy at all. I'm happy she kept in touch with me and really listened to what I was saying. I felt like she related to me and really understood what I was looking for in a home for me and my family. She kept looking until she found the one. She is very knowledgeable and I just knew I was in good hands. If you're looking for a great agent who you can trust and who's going to have your best interest in mind Leighs your girl! Thank you Leigh from the bottom of my heart for all your help. My family and I are very grateful for you.

    Karen at Prestige is a great realtor. She answers on the first to second ring and returns missed calls timely. She has a process you have to trust! She knows her area and the market. I'm grateful to her for getting me a good deal with reliable sellers. If you're looking to sell in the San Pedro area, look no further!
    Michael M.
    Working with Leigh Hanisee on a recent transaction in The Gardens community in San Pedro was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning, her professionalism, dedication, and care for our mutual client were evident. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled with care and precision, helping our fist-time homebuyer client feel very comfortable every step of the way. The seller made things a bit difficult for our client as we got close to the finish line, but what really stood out was her calm, confident demeanor and how she always stayed client-focused, no matter how complex things got. Throughout the process, we collaborated closely to find creative solutions and keep things moving forward, and I truly felt like I had a real partner in the deal. It was a great example of how powerful it can be when a lender and realtor are aligned with a shared goal of getting their client home. If you're looking for a realtor who's not only incredibly sharp but also genuinely kind and committed, I can't recommend Leigh Hanisee and the Prestige team highly enough.
