Heyler Realty

Sean and Jae are incomparable. Trust me – you don’t want to work with anyone else. They helped us sell our condo and buy a single family home while navigating a global pandemic with grace, compassion and unflagging professionalism. We were not easy clients, I’ll admit. Anxious, fiscally conservative, prone to bouts of dramatic tears – what can we say? Buying a home is emotionally challenging, and selling a home at the same time just makes it even harder. I know we must have pushed their patience to the brink, but they never let on, were always so very kind, considerate, attentive (so attentive! Sean and Jae respond more promptly to texts and calls t...

The group at Heyler Realty is beyond amazing. My family had twice the love this year from Jae and Sean at Heyler this year. We bought one of the properties they had for sale and helped me find my forever home. I have know Sean and Jae for many years and have always respected their work ethics, dedication to their clients, to their community and of course their families. I always knew I would find Sean once I was ready. I was all over the place till we could really figure out what area, price point etc would work for me. We looked at houses, condo’s, townhomes and nothing felt right until that day. We both walked in and we knew. It was in great shape...

We are first time home buyers moved from the East Coast at the onset of the pandemic and we just purchased our dream house in a year in such a competitive seller’s market. This was all thanks to my buyer’s agent Jae Wu and the Heyler team and I highly recommend them. Jae helped us best prepared for each stage of the home purchase process. At the initial stage, she led in touring different types of properties for us to realize our priorities and preferences. In this process, she picked up signals even from subtle and nonverbal cues from us. She referred a very professional and friendly loan officer (which is critical in the fast moving market and al...

Christian: At our initial meeting they brought literature, comps in the neighborhood, and discussed where we would go with the house sale. From there everything was smooth and easy. Selling a home is stressful and emotional. Talked to Heyler and they put the tasks together in a manageable list and helped with the process. We loved Heyler’s local connections. Connie: At our open houses I wanted to have everything just right. As we drove away from the house I stopped in a panic, because I had forgotten to put out the towels in the bathroom. I called, but Jae already had everything handled. A highlight was getting multiple offers. It was thrilling an...

Working with Sean and his team at Heyler was a wonderful experience. I knew immediately that I could trust in Sean for everything. He was professional, yet gentle and kind. Honest, yet tough to make sure I wasn’t being taken advantage of and traditional and protective of me. Something like buying your first home can be scary, but Sean walked me through every step of the way and I love my home and will always use Sean for any other home purchases in the future.

Karl: We chose Heyler Realty because we had a neighbor who had sold with Heyler 2 or 3 years prior and the result was amazing. We wanted a similar result. Before we engaged Heyler we reached out to our previous neighbor and they had glowing praises about Jae and Heyler. We talked to them before going with Heyler asking them about their experience. They couldn’t say enough good things especially about Jae Wu. Sinae: Would you recommend Heyler Realty? Absolutely! I tell my friends, “If you’re ever going to sell your home, go to Jae Wu. Go to Heyler.” I’ve been saying great things about her and her partner, Sean, the whole office. It’s been amazing. A...

I was nervous at first about buying a home. I was worried knowing that it’s an intimate relationship. I was particular who I wanted to work with. I stalked Jae. My intuition told me that she was the one and the only one and I was right. I knew Jae from the school. I knew how involved she was and how committed she was to the school and to the larger community and that was big for us. We feel the same way about being part of a community and giving to that community so I knew that she was like minded in that way. Because of her community involvement I really trusted her to know the area. What surprised me was how quickly she knew us. She totally got u...

We just successfully completed the stressful process of both buying and selling a home with Jae Wu and the Heyler team. Her knowledge of the local market and pricing, top notch service referrals, and dedication, made selling our house a breeze. Without open houses due to Covid19, she worked tirelessly to show our house, kept us informed throughout the entire process and took care of all the details. We ended up with multiple strong offers and sold our home well above asking with terms that met our individual needs. On the buying side, her expertise and strategy helped us buy our dream house in a competitive seller’s market. It was a challenging proc...

My experience with Jae Wu of Heyler was incredible. I had wanted to buy a house for a long time, so it was an emotional experience to say the least when I started looking. She was compassionate as well as focused on making sure we continually pivoted to what I liked, and my budget. Because she allowed me the whole experience, I was able to quickly put my business woman hat on, and we got busy finding not just a fantastic home for me and my girls, but negotiate a whole heap of savings! Thanks Jae and the Heyler team for making what could have been stressful so easy and even fun!

I am delighted to write a reference letter for Sean McMillan. Indeed, in the summer of 2020, when he served as my Realtor® in selling my Santa Monica townhouse, I was so satisfied with his service that I offered to write one if he should ever have a need. Mr. McMillan is simply the best Realtor® I have ever encountered in over thirty years of buying and selling multiple residential properties in L.A. Sean was immediately personable on meeting for the first time and continued to be a helpful, thoughtful presence in listening carefully to all of my concerns. He quickly gained my confidence by answering all of my legalities in detail. Thankfully, he w...

Working with Sean McMillan and Heyler was a pleasurable experience in many ways. Sean was transparent throughout what was an emotional experience handling the sale of my mother’s home of 60 years. Sean kept my family abreast of the various stages of the process from listing the property to closing escrow. I never felt pressured to make any decision, and Sean would explain things in great detail. I would not hesitate to recommend Heyler Realty to friends, acquaintances or other family members. My mother had great admiration for this company that has had its roots on the Westside for many decades.

I had the good fortune of working with Heyler Realty’s Sean McMillan selling two properties to buy one. He instinctively knew exactly what I wanted to do and in what time frame in order to buy our fabulous condo on the Westside. Timing wasn’t exactly right selling one of the properties, but Sean worked his magic with the escrow company to make it a smooth and easy transition. I didn’t lose any sleep over it, but I’ll bet he did. Sean held my hand during and for a long while after the sale and the purchase until he knew I was comfortably settled in. Thank you, Sean.

First and foremost we feel blessed to have had Sean handle our precious house sale after 20 years of blood, sweat equity and a multitude of memories. He negotiated a very fair proposal and still invested his personal time in making sure we were ready as well as our home for market. Sean is truly a unique business person (Realtor®/owner); he is very capable and helped greatly when the negotiation stalled. Maybe more importantly Sean was able to be empathetic to our stress and calm our fears through the process. When offers came in he guided us to the “best” buyer for our needs not necessarily what’s best for his own interests. His sincerity and ethic...

Having worked with Sean on multiple real estate transactions over the course of 20 years, we would not consider buying or selling property anywhere in Los Angeles without Sean’s help and guidance. Not only does he have a deep sense of the real estate market, but his commitment to the community translates into a personal mission to pair people with not just a house, but a home.

I interviewed all the big brokers in the neighborhood but didn’t want an outsized personality. What I found in Heyler were real people who cared not only about selling my home, but about representing me with dignity and integrity. They sold my house in 3 days! Thank you team Heyler!

My overall experience was OUTSTANDING! Jae Wu is exception…she is competent, responsible, and personable. Jae and the group were wonderful guides leading me through the process. They made it easy for me and I felt my well being was important to them. I highly recommend Jae and Sean.

Heyler Realty helped us with the prep for and sale of our home. We had an accepted counter offer at the end of a week. In this market we were prepared for months of showings and were very surprised at the quick response. Their team approach with counter balanced skills, knowledge of the area, and ready list of professionals to help with the prep for the sale were the keys to our successful sale.

This spring, Jae Wu and Team Heyler helped me sell a condo and buy a house, and if I could give them more than five stars, I would. I found them extremely knowledgeable, proactive, caring, and a true pleasure to work with. Jae kept things moving forward step by step until we reached the goals of condo sold and house bought, and this within a very short time. Dealing with Jae and Team Heyler was an superb experience in all respects.

We worked with Michelle in finding our house over the course of several months, and she was invaluable in helping us as first-time-homebuyers. She had a wealth of insight as to what to inspect at each property, and what we should investigate further. Incredibly responsive and professional, we could not have found the right home without her help. Highly, highly recommend Michelle if you’re looking to purchase a property!

I wanted to sincerely thank Aileen for the way you stayed on top of this transaction and always held the client’s best interest first. It is refreshing to find and be able to work with agents like you😊 If I can ever assist you with any of your other clients, I’d like the opportunity to work with you again, and will obviously always keep the clients best interests first and foremost.

Michelle was a great agent! It was my first home and she helped walk me through every step of the way. In a hot market, like the one we’re in these days, you want an agent who is quick on the draw and super responsive, and Michelle is just that.

Michelle is simply amazing at what she does. You would be immensely lucky to have her as your Realtor®! Not only is she professional and knowledgable about the market, but she is empathetic, patient, and kind. Michelle will help you find the home of your dreams and keep you sane during an uncertain and sometimes stressful process. She is an agent who will hustle for you and quite literally get you “in the door!” Look no further because Michelle and Heyler Realty are the best it gets!

Michelle is an incredible agent with a heart of gold who truly cares about finding you the right home! We had the pleasure of working with her for over a year and half and she never gave up on us, always lifting our hopes when we started to lose it. She is super savvy about the market and is very honest and transparent. What sets her apart is how much she cares for your best interest. After a looooooong search, we finally found our home thanks to her relentless support and dedication. Michelle is not just a great Realtor® but a great person, and we feel lucky to have found her.

For months I had agents helping me in my search for the right property. They would send me properties outside my criteria and wouldn't keep me updated. Enter Lucas... Amazing! Lucas found me a place in less than a week! Exactly what I was looking for! Helped negotiate a good price too! Lucas did not waste my time. He took notes, knew exactly what I wanted and BOOM! There it was! I look forward to working with you on my next property adventure :-) Thanks soooooo much!

Maricar helped me from the very first moment I started to think about selling my home. She was very patient while I made the decision, gave me pros and cons and had a very balanced view of what the best way forward was. Once we decided to put the house up for sale, Maricar was very professional, knowledgeable and supportive. She stayed in regular contact to keep me updated with the progress of the sale and helped me out when I needed clarification. I couldn’t be more happy with the experience and fully recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring and experienced realtor that always keeps your best interests in mind.

"Aileen was our realtor for our first home purchase, we met her at an open house almost a year ago, when we were just looking at properties but not ready to buy. Even though we were just looking, Aileen followed up with us every month, signed us up MLS updates and just kept in touch. Once we were ready, she became this wonderful force of nature who just wanted the best first home of our dreams. The entire escrow process was extremely smooth and she was always responsive, great communicator and negotiator. She is amazing at her job as a realtor, an ad-doc therapist and cheerleader when we were priced out or just bummed about the interest rates and la...

"Aileen is a true professional in the real estate industry. I had the sincere pleasure of working with her during a purchase transaction for our clients. As a lender, I truly appreciated her quick feedback, flawless communication, supportive and positive demeanor and unwavering work ethic as we searched, negotiated and secured the perfect property for our clients - first time homebuyers - over the span of 6 months in a challenging market with multiple bidders and low inventory. She secured the home under list price and negotiated a stellar credit from the seller that was used towards buyers’ financing. She was always available and such a gem to wo...

"We had the very difficult task of moving from Colorado to Southern California without the opportunity to visit and limited knowledge of the Los Angeles area - not sure what we would’ve done without Aileen. She took the time to get to know us and help us find a place that checked all our boxes and figure out the best location for us. She looked at places on our behalf and knew the right questions to ask leasing companies and property managers. Not only was she extremely responsive, (in contact daily with updates and new listings), she was and still is an invaluable source of knowledge about Los Angeles and the surrounding areas. When we decide to pu...

I can’t express how helpful Maricar was during our home buying process. She led us to new pockets of the city that we weren’t very familiar with, but we ended up loving. She has extensive knowledge in areas experiencing growth, and is a strong negotiator and advocate for her clients. The home buying process can be very stressful but having someone like Maricar by your side to guide you and help every step of the way made it feel like a breeze.

Maricar is an amazing realtor! She found our new home in a month despite a very competitive market. There were 23 offers on the home we purchased. It was her guidance and persistence that secured our dream home. Maricar simplified the process and put us at ease during our search. She is EXTREMLY knowledgeable, took time to understand our wants, and was assertive in the most positive way with other realtors. Her negotiation skills are impeccable and she literally held the seller’s realtor to his word. She’s like Larry H. Parker – She’ll fight for you! It was a joy to work with Maricar because she is so client-centered. We give her our highest recomme...

Maricar knew what it would take for us to purchase our home. There were several offers. She helped us make a smart offer and included a letter letting the seller know why we were so excited and lucky to have found this beautiful home that we could share with family and friends. Maricar helped us through the entire process. Our interest was her top priority. All went well and we are now living in our dream home. Thanks to Maricar.

Our company has 3 houses in West LA / Culver City that needed to be leased during Covid-19. I was working with another agent/broker for a few months but couldn’t get any solid lease agreement. A friend referred Maricar Davis to me. I was impressed with her attitude and good understanding for the local market. She found tenants for all 3 houses and negotiated on my behalf to get all tenants move in, pay rent with solid background and incomes. And all that was happening in the mid of the crazy pandemic with competitions from other properties nearby. After this she helps our client to buy a beautiful house with very attractive terms. She is our go-to r...

Maricar was great to work with. Very knowledgeable and she was always there to answer any questions that we had as first-time home buyers. In addition, she really wanted to make sure that we found the most value for our purchase and put our future interests at the forefront as well. She was able to keep us calm through a stressful experience and worked quickly to help us achieve our dream of purchasing a home. Thank you Maricar for all of your help and thank you for always being there.

I can’t express how professional and helpful Maricar was. She sold our home in 1 week. She is highly communicative, relational, well-informed of the market, and strategic. She had a great marketing plan and her back office was top-notch. She helped us sift through multiple offers and presented the pros and cons of each offer to help us make the most informed decision. She was always available for consultation and the paperwork process was smooth and seamless. I felt like I blinked and my house was sold.

I can’t recommend Maricar enough! She was knowledgeable, responsive, and most importantly, consistently focused on what we wanted as her clients. She worked in OUR best interest, focusing on finding us the home that was perfect for our family. She was patient even through the ups and downs of buying a home in competitive Culver City, and ensured the situation was best for us, not anyone else. She was there 24/7 through the whole process, and I believe she was just as excited as we were when we closed on our new home. She truly connects with and cares for her clients, and we felt supported every step of the way.

I had never bought a home before, but Kate made things feel easy and streamlined. She's super thorough, supporting me every step of the way, coordinating with everyone, and exceeding my expectations. I can't recommend her enough. She genuinely cared about me, my wife, and my future child. If you're lucky to get her on your team, you won't regret a thing. She's worth the moon!

Kate is an exceptional negotiator! She will hustle for you and have your back the whole way through. She is very knowledgeable about real estate. With her, you have a friend, a realtor and a lawyer in one. We had the pleasure of working with her while she was pregnant and she was very upfront and honest with us, making sure we were taken care of even while she was on leave. When we were ready to close, she took us to the finish line! Super grateful to have worked with her and highly recommend her for all real estate needs!

Kate is a wonderful person to have on your house hunting team. She will work hard for you and be your best representative. When we were house hunting with a sharp timeline in a totally insane market, Kate kept us focused and on target. She always reassured us that we were making the right decisions and asking the right questions. With her guidance and generosity, we managed to close on a house that far exceeded our expectations. A HUGE thank you to Kate and Heyler Realty for all that they have done for us.

In L.A.'s crazy real estate market, you want to have an agent who will advocate for you, protect you, and counsel you as if you were family. Kate does all that and more. She helped my husband and I navigate the purchase of our first house, and her knowledge, professionalism, organization, and communication blew us away. She was a true ally in the process. We've been recommending her to everyone we know. Thank you, Kate!

Kate is the absolute BEST! She has stuck with me through what has been a very LONG home search process. I cannot express how much help, patience, support, guidance, and good-natured explanations she has provided to me and my partner during this process. COULDN'T RECOMMEND HER MORE! Not only does she specialize in working with first time buyers, she made the process of buying a home in the very competitive LA market as easy as possible. By guiding us to stick to our values, what made the most sense for us, and not getting caught up in the hype, she really listened to what we wanted and needed and guided us to getting there. We've just closed on our f...

We just moved back to Los Angeles several months ago from NorCal. We had been looking for a house even before we sold our place up North, hoping we could transition immediately into our LA home. We didn't find anything right away so Kate shifted into finding us a lease. She was extremely helpful. And we continued looking to buy. We kept getting outbid after putting in several offers. Then we found the home we just purchased. Not only was Kate completely competent throughout the entire process, she was available. Her personal attention matched her attention to detail. I have heard of realtors who give their clients homemade pies. I thought that was s...

We loved working with Kate. She was right there with us the entire journey, even when we decided to push our search beyond the LA county lines and check out Thousand Oaks. She had incredibly practical advice (especially around crafting our offer, finding a lender and the right questions to ask to ensure we could get the deal done, and an inspection process that was full of surprises). She was such a strong advocate for us when it came to getting exactly what we wanted and needed. And it's probably worth mentioning we got and closed on the first house we put an offer on, which was also the first house we saw (granted, Kate still saw us through 8 othe...

Kate is AMAZING and was SUCH a great asset to us during our home search and home buying process. She's kind and sweet, but also very fun and incredibly informed. She also is an honest and transparent advisor, from what we could expect from the process, what is reasonable to expect at various price ranges, and when to buy vs. wait. It hit me that we had found someone who was really in our corner when she advised us to wait to get a feel for the city's neighborhoods rather than jump into a home purchase after a cross-country move! Talk about putting clients' best interests first! Throughout the process, Kate really went the extra mile. She sat with us...

Kate was the best! From our initial phone call through getting our keys to our first home, Kate went above and beyond as our real estate agent. She is always calm, confident and helped guide our decision-making process to finding the perfect home for us, especially while navigating the changes of Covid! We had a couple of unusual situations pop up during our bidding process and she helped us clearly articulate our terms in our offers and made sure we were always protected as buyers. We can’t imagine what the house buying process would have been like without her! She truly became someone we felt we could trust and lean on for guidance. Anyone who wor...

We were fortunate to have Kate help us with both our first home purchase and later the sale of that home. She's professional, friendly and, most importantly, very thoughtful about her client's needs throughout the process. She even secured us an offer for the highest price per square foot in our community. We could not have had a better experience. I highly recommend her. -Tony S.

"Very professional and knowledgeable realtor and a lovely person to work with. She found us a home in no time. It was a pleasure working with her and getting to know her as a person..thank you, Alieen!"

Randy sold our house in 3 days time for a stellar price. Very professional and a pleasure to work with. He is our forever real estate agent. -Prima Appollinaare & Dermont Mulroney

5 stars! Couldn't be happier with our choice to work with Sean and Jae. They were very collaborative, truly listened to what we wanted and made it a point to go the extra mile to achieve our goals. They also provided timely and pertinent advice in a rocky real estate market and made a ton of good vendor referrals. We'd interviewed a few folks before a colleague recommended that we meet Sean and Jae and we are so happy we did.

Sean is an absolute rock star. He was incredibly helpful in getting a home of ours sold in a tough market. His marketing was effective and his knowledge of the local market is unmatched. Would highly recommend him to anyone. He treats his clients like family.

Jae is a fabulous realtor and helped us navigate a challenging market as a newcomer to Los Angeles. I highly recommend her and Heyler Realty.
