“I have known Kevin Apor for over 7 years.  Kevin has represented me on several million dollar transactions over the years, both high end residential and commercial income properties.  I have been represented before by ‘professional realtors’ but never before by a broker who has skill, and his depth of expertise. Kevin is a professional appraiser, has contacts with bankers and has superb negotiating skills.  When recently acquiring a downtown Long Beach apartment building, he analyzed numerous issues and conferred with me, many important components to bring this transaction to a close.  He is discrete and has the professional decorum for full confidentiality. If I were selling, buying or leasing, Kevin would be my first choice because of his integrity and professionalism, which I have never seen before during my 30 years of real estate experience.”

“Kevin Apor had several qualities in an agent that I was looking for, in addition to a strong set of good values and good character, and what a pleasure it is for this seller to write a letter of recommendation for Kevin Apor. I was the owner/developer of an 8 unit condo complex at 330 41st St., Manhattan Beach and a duplex at 4100 Highland Ave. Kevin Apor, MAI, was my real estate broker for the listing and the sale of the duplex.  Kevin's strong suit when it comes to the sale of real property, whether it is a single family residence and / or a commercial property really falls into three categories: 1) a very high standard of work ethics, 2) a genuine desire to help the seller reach their goal their way, and 3) the persistence of a termite. Kevin really shines when it comes to working out conditions that may come up during the escrow period. Keeping the escrow together is the most important part of the deal. Kevin also continues to follow up with the seller and the buyer after the escrow closes, keeping them informed on the real estate market in Manhattan Beach and the real estate market in general. Additionally, Kevin, with his background in appraisal and contacts gives him an edge.”

“To Whom It May Concern: I highly recommend Kevin to anyone who is considering using his services as a residential or commercial broker.  He has represented me on four transactions including three personally and one for my company. In 2003 Kevin helped me purchase my first home.  He showed me the market, helped me understand the basics of residential ownership, and helped me find my dream home in Hermosa Beach which I purchased for over $1 million.  During the transaction he was extremely helpful walking me through each step of the way.  The property closed on time and with very little issue. In 2010, Kevin helped me purchase an investment property in Hermosa Beach.  He helped identify the property and helped me think through the valuation.  There were some unusual circumstances in purchasing a very old (1937) property and he helped me think through all the issues.  The transaction closed on time and with very little issue thanks to Kevin.   He helped me get the property rented and is my property manager for the property currently. In 2011, Kevin helped me sell my home (same one purchase in 2003) and did a great job.  Like many people in the current market environment, I initially listed the property at too high of a price and Kevin let me know that when I first listed, but he helped me to understand the market and over time we reduced the price and found a buyer.  Kevin was persistent and patient with me.  In the end I got a price that was fair and reasonable for the property ($1.45MM).  There were several unexpected issues that arose during the escrow process, but Kevin helped me navigate the issues and the deal closed on time.  He also helped me to find a new home to rent. In 2011, I enlisted Kevin’s help to find an owner-user property for my company.  We had been looking for an 80,000 square foot office property for two years and had had no success finding one.  Through sheer diligence and effort on his part he identified the perfect property which was not on the market, cold called into the owner and convinced them to sell the property to us.  He negotiated the deal and got a great price for us ($13.35MM, $163/foot).  The deal is in escrow currently and every issue that comes up he helps us navigate the issue. We expect to close the deal early in January with very little issue thanks to Kevin’s efforts. Kevin is unique in that he is a full broker, a professional appraiser (with a very hard to get MAI), and a personal investor in real estate.  His knowledge of real estate is unmatched in my experience.  When you couple his deep knowledge with his commitment, integrity, diligence, and professionalism, you have a unique person in the real estate industry.”
