"I felt that Karl was always looking out for my well-being as his top priority."

Karl Niehaus was my broker for the purchase of my first 1031 tax exchange property. I knew very little about the process and Karl was available and attentive throughout. I depended on Karl very much and thoroughly trust him. I felt that he was always looking out for my well-being as his top priority. I look forward to working with Karl in the future. Thanks for everything!

"The overall real estate trophy of the century goes to Karl Niehaus!"

I met Karl Niehaus several years ago during what turned out to be one of the longest escrows in real estate history. Karl served as both listing and selling agent on a very complicated tenants in common commercial property in which my deceased father was the majority shareholder. During the whole enduring and exhausting escrow, Karl always went the extra mile with his very pleasing personality. Karl's initiative, positive attitude, enthusiasm, discipline, accurate thinking, controlled attention to the details, team work, and creative vision to get this escrow closed was an encouraging and inspiring example to watch first hand. Most agents would have thrown in the towel and conceded to defeat and washed their hands of the whole transaction. After being a partner in a residential real estate firm for nine years, I can say that Karl is probably the finest example of a person and professional that you would ever want to represent you in buying or selling real estate of any kind. The overall real estate trophy of the century goes to Karl Niehaus!

"He's very knowledgeable and will patiently walk you through the ins and outs of purchasing or leasing business property"

I've heard Karl, the owner speak several times. He's very knowledgeable and will patiently walk you through the ins and outs of purchasing or leasing business property ... including pointing out several gotcha's in lease agreements. I ended up referring him to my own client who was looking to purchase for office space for their growing business. The client is happy and I look great!

"Karl was diligent, persistent, and his expertise brought us top dollar for our property"

Initially, we had hired another broker to sell our property, but he was unable to get the deal done. We were referred to Karl by a friend and he was able to bring us multiple offers and get our property sold. Karl was diligent, persistent, and his expertise brought us top dollar for our property.

All of our thanks and gratitude goes out to Karl at CREI. His expertise and constant follow-up and follow-through were how we finally sold our large commercial property.

Thank you, Karl.

CREI helped our family purchased a commercial property in Gardena. At all times CREI was responsive to all our questions.

"I needed someone I could trust with a commercial real estate referral"

As a residential real estate agent, I needed someone I could trust with a commercial real estate referral. I had a high-profile, celebrity client, who was looking for a restaurant space to purchase. From the moment I referred the client to Karl, I knew he would be well taken care of. CREI was very fast to respond, kept me in the loop the entire time, offered terrific customer service, and found our client a property in a short amount of time. In the future, I wouldn't hesitate to use Karl and his team again! Thanks for your efficiency and great service!

"I have nothing but great things to say about CREI!"

If anyone is looking to buy or sell commercial Real Estate in Los Angeles, I highly recommend CREI. They have been such a pleasure to work with for the past two years, and four transactions. They are very professional, kind and get the job done. CREI has been nothing short of AMAZING.
I have nothing but great things to say about CREI! I recently lost both of my parents and am in the process of selling a handful of their commercial properties. In the past year, CREI has sold two of our properties and we currently have one in escrow which is due to close in February 2014. We like working with him so much, that we will be listing our other properties with him in the near future. CREI has made this unfortunate situation as seamless as possible for myself and family. CREI does not have the typical 'salesman' approach which is a bonus! Thank you!"

"Calling CREI was the best thing I did!"

Calling CREI was the best thing I did when I was looking for an office space. It can be stressful – particularly because it was my first office lease – but almost a year later, I am thrilled with the results. I found the exact price, location, and layout for my office and CREI eased the way from my initial search to signing the lease. I can confidently refer them to anyone needing a commercial space!
