Client Testimonials

Barry Bijan Todd, Experienced Home Seller
Connie Degroot was the only one who could make it happen. She sold a house of ours others struggled with. I would use Connie again without a second thought. She is hard working, enthusiastic, reliable, knowledgeable, and persistent. Connie tackles situations and transactions professionally. I would recommend her- we always felt like we were in good hands. When she told us to re-stage the property, to move this, to move that, and to re-dress the house up we did it--and she was right. We trusted her to do her best and she did. Connie sold our home after it had been on the market for a long time.

James Eder, Out-Of-State Home Buyer
As an out of town buyer, a diligent, hard-working, loyal, and savvy real estate professional with integrity was what I was looking for. I found that person in Connie De Groot. Connie worked tirelessly before my making an offer to find the right property at the right price, during the offer period to ensure the best deal, and after closing in helping with improvements, remodeling, and re-decorating. I was always informed with real-time information and any questions were always handled quickly and effectively by Connie and her excellent assistant Sally. Her expertise in understanding the value of the marketplace and her contacts in the refurbishment market proved invaluable. This expertise allowed me to purchase a home that I otherwise would not been able to given my time constraints. Her integrity and knowledge allowed me to feel confident every step of the way.

David & Rebecca Smith, North Fork, Idaho- Referral Client
After having our house on the market for a year with not even one showing, we new we needed a big-gun with global exposure to help move it. After seeing Connie on the Fine Living Network, we knew if anyone could help us, it was her. Her no-nonsense, straight-shooting, put the client first philosophy drew us in. But then we thought, "why would this Beverly Hills big-shot want to help us"? Nevertheless, we called and that question never got asked. Connie was congenial and highly-motivated from the first call and assured us, even though our property was over 1200 miles away, that she would find us an agent to help sell it. And that, she did. Connie found us an agent, and equipped us with the tools to help move our property right away, even 1200 miles away. If you think distance is a problem, think again......nothing stops Connie!!

Anthony and Julee Choe, First-Time Home Buyers
Thank you so much for helping us to find our dream home. It fit everything we were looking for in the BHPO: school district, location, design and architecture, and at a fair price. Thanks so much for fighting hard for two first time home buyers like Julee and me - your walking us through the process step-by-step was so comforting and so critical to the successful outcome. Now that we're in the home, we are so happy, it seems like many of our old problems have melted away! We're still not completely furnished yet, but when we do, we'd love to have you over for drinks sometime in the summer when the landscaping is complete. We hope you're still the neighborhood expert the next time we're looking to move... there's nobody we'd rather use and nobody we trust more than you Connie.

Ron and Joan Hoffman, Home Sellers Needing To Do Construction To Sell
Connie, previous to you representing us, we had two other real estate agents who were unsuccessful at delivering us a qualified buyer at the price we felt our home warranted and deserved. We had our house on the market for over one year without any viable potential buyers. When we first met you and reviewed the frustrations and challenges of selling our home, you outlined for us the steps you felt were necessary to make our home more marketable. We were impressed by your hard work, dedication and high-energy in doing everything possible to attract the right buyers. We are now in escrow and we are happy to say that we couldn't have done it without all of your hard work and persistence.

Clark Hallren, Experience Home Seller
Within 24 hours of listing my property, Connie had voice mails out to over 1,000 agents, had professional photos taken and placed in the MLS, CaliforniaMoves.com and Realtor.com, a Virtual Tour and had placed ads in the Los Angeles Times, Caravan Express and Homes and Open Houses. While coming home one evening, I found her personally blanketing the neighborhood with flyers! As promised, she was personally present at every showing, Open House, and even made sure that my dogs were safe, secure and loved. I whole-heartedly recommend Connie! To put it simply, she is the best!

Katia Basha, Realtor and Home Seller
I am a Realtor from San Diego and I had my daughter, who was living in Los Angeles, call Coldwell Banker Beverly Hills to help her find a 2 bedroom condo in Mar Vista. When my daughter told me that she spoke to Connie and that I would really like working with her, I was very excited. She was of course, very kind, knowledgeable and so dedicated that we liked her right away. Our plans did however change, and after showing us properties for 3 months, we decided to move the entire family to Beverly Hills! Connie was a good sport and adjusted to all our changing plans and opinions and did not give up even when we cancelled 3 escrows! Being a Realtor myself, I found her absolutely impressive! I am happy to say that Connie found us a home in Beverly Hills and we routinely enjoy each other's company to this day!

Paula Wagner, Out-Of-State Home Seller
Connie, through her firm Coldwell Banker, has represented three properties for our Estate. As we have had to go through Probate proceedings, Connie has been there every step of the way to make sure everything was in order. She has been diligent and successful in selling these properties for us. We live in Hawaii and Connie is in Beverly Hills, but she has communicated and followed through in an exceptional manner even though we are miles apart. Her work ethic has been great and that's why we would highly recommend Connie to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying real estate.
