Beach Girl Realty - Luxury Real Estate Specialist

First Class Service with a

Down to Earth Attitude

BACKGROUND AND FAMILY

We moved into our family home on Sixth Street in 1963. I am practically a native! I attended Robinson, American Martyrs (where my mother Trudie was the secretary to the principal) and Mira Costa. I was the sixteenth person in my family to attend USC. If you are reading this and attended ‘the other school”, truth is, yours is a good school too! Prior to beginning my Real Estate career, I was in the hotel business serving in various Sales and Marketing Management positions with Hilton and Marriott Hotels, ending up in the position of Director of Catering Sales. The transition into Real Estate from the hospitality industry was a simple one, as both involve a good sense of communication, listening, organizational and negotiation skills. A solid sense of marketing and people skills come in handy too. It is really all about people. Having been raised at the beach with a tremendous sense of values, all things in my life are done with truth, honesty and integrity in place.

I was blessed in being able to raise my two daughters Hanna and Holland in the same beach home where I grew up with my two sisters. We believe each day at the beach to be a blessing, a gift, and cherish them as such.

BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY

I see what I do as being much more about helping others than about selling real estate. My business is built upon honestly and openly informing and educating others. This is important, so that when you are ready to make the move all options are well understood and have been thoroughly thought through. It is of the utmost importance to me, that you are clear about what you are doing, and that it is the best choice for you. I share without hesitation whatever information you need, and will always offer what I believe to be the best ideas are for your specific situation. I am a full-time Realtor, and have lived and worked in Manhattan Beach for over forty five years, specialize in my neighborhood and community. I do not commute into the beach cities for work, I live here. What happens here is as important to me and to my family as it is to you and to yours. I specialize in the three beach cities, and love the fact that I am always so readily available to my clients when necessary. I will happily help outside these areas, or will refer another qualified agent, if I feel I am not the best representation.

BUSINESS SUCCESS

I have been blessed in creating a tremendous support team, but am personally committed to being the point of contact with all my clients. It is my personal goal that each client feels as though they have 100% of my attention 100% of the time. I provide support with gentle guidance, not pressure, and expect no obligation by you, unless YOU say so. Hopefully I do my job well enough that when the time comes, you DO say so! With over 90% of my business coming from past clients and referrals, I am confident that my friends, neighbors and clients know me, and understand how I feel about being of service to others. A list of references is available at your request.

I have consistently been recognized as a Top Producer since moving to RE/MAX Beach Cities from Shorewood Realtors in 2002. I received the RE/MAX 100% Club Award in 2003, RE/MAX Platinum Club Award in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. I had the honor of being inducted into the RE/MAX Hall of Fame in early 2007, an achievement few agents reach in their entire career. I am consistently named in the companies Top 100 Agents, often in the Top 20 companywide (total agents ranges around 600) and was top female agent in the Manhattan Beach office in 2007 and 2008. Finally, I am Quality Service Certified (QSC) which is a certification not too many Realtors hold. If you missed it up above, scroll up to click link describing what this will mean to you. None of these accomplishments or awards is as important to me as knowing that I have done the right thing in helping my clients and friends with their Real Estate needs, and often in achieving their dreams. In order for me to enjoy continued success, I must provide service beyond expectations and at the same time develop relationships that are to last a lifetime.

SUMMARY

The simplest way to describe the person I am is to let you know that I live every day, to the best of my ability and by The Golden Rule.

Just a Couple Testimonials:

Dear Denise (Beach Girl),

Now that we are all moved into our new home, and things have settled down a bit, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all that you did for us while we had our Hermosa Beach property listed with you. I remember saying to my husband, when discussing listing our townhouse, “If she does this great a job marketing herself, imagine what she will do in marketing our home!”

Not only did you market and sell our house for top dollar in a very short time, you provided excellent service at all times and always offered to go the extra mile for us….including being willing to take my mother in law to the airport after the house was sold and we were out of the state. Service like that is hard to find and we truly admire your commitment and dedication to your clients. When your ad states “first class service with a down to earth attitude” you are not kidding.

Our Sincere Thanks.

Best regards,

Joan, Clare and Trevor Jones

Dear Mr. Todd:

We are writing to tell you about the pleasure it has been working with Denise Lavell on the recent purchase of our property in Manhattan Beach.

There are several things that impressed us about Denise that we’d like to share with you. First, it was imperative that things remained confidential until escrow closed and we never once worried that Denise would break this confidence, either accidentally or deliberately. We experienced first-hand that she is someone who holds strong moral and ethical convictions, and she does not compromise these standards in her work one bit.

Denise showed a gift for conveying information to both sides with clarity, and could be direct yet diplomatic when needed. She has such a genuine, down-to-earth personality and makes everyone feel comfortable, literally within minutes. This character trait is especially suited for Real Estate sales, where two opposing things are at play -- financial negotiations, and the transaction of something very personal like a home!

Additionally, Denise handled the paperwork and timelines without a hitch, went above and beyond the call of duty in procuring some extra materials for us, and always picked up or dropped off items at our home. It was old fashioned service! She also had some very wise, insightful, and savvy tactics for our game plan (and at times our perspective) during the inevitable bumps along the way.

You should be proud of how she represents the Re/Max name as well as our community. Above all, she was a pleasure to work with. We had many laughs along the way as well, which was just the icing on the cake!

Very Sincerely,

The David Hoag Family

To Whom It May Concern:

I recently sold my home in Manhattan Beach, California. It was a beautiful hill section, ocean view home that sold in excess of two and a half million dollars. This home along with the furnishings was a personal, as well as financial, asset that could only be trusted in the most competent of hands.

When the time came to sell my home, I was commuting on a weekly basis, and found that I was away from my home, much more than I was there. This meant that to sell the property, I needed to give full custody of my prized “home” to someone I could trust and depend upon.

I find myself in a position to delightfully, professionally, and with personal comfort, highly recommend Denise X. Lavell. She was the Realtor that exceeded my high expectation. She was professional, trustworthy, thorough, thoughtful, competent, and just down right pleasant to work with.

During the process, Denise was challenged, and faced with scenarios and situations that were unpleasant. She handled each with skill, knowledge, tenacity, professional courtesy and so very important, and integrity.

Well after escrow was closed, Denise continued to work on the transaction, and was able to find additional savings, and refunds that were due to me, and diligently pursued them.

I am ever grateful that Denise was my representative.

Sincerely,
