2. “Because of my work, I’ve had to move in, out and around Los Angeles several times during
the last decade. During that time, Nili helped me buy three houses and sell two, as well as
helping me find homes to lease. Each time, she made the process as painless as possible.
She understands my practical and aesthetic needs and always guides me in the right
direction. Together we have bought, sold and rented in all kinds of markets and she
consistently gets the job done. A year ago I found myself shopping for a home in a very
difficult buyer’s market and she found me the perfect place at exactly the right time. I’m very
happy there and don’t anticipate moving again, but it’s nice to know if I ever have to, she will
be there to make it happen.”

3. “I am not easily impressed by most things or people and generally I don’t write
reviews or buy into consumerism - period. Having said that, I am breaking those
rules for good reason. Nili IS IMPRESSIVE. She is a professional who knows her
stock and trade and it's clear why she is successful. She guided us in terms of the
price we should list our house for and told us what to expect. She was pitch perfect
- we got more than we had hoped for and what she thought we would get. She
knows the area, the market and the people. She is respectful, attentive to detail and
has a genuine interest in her clients. She also has the patience and disposition of a
saint. If I could leave a sample of my DNA here to verify the validity of my identity
and this review, I would. This is real estate professional you need to call.”
Andrew Campbell, 2/3/2016
4. “Nili helped us sell our house in Santa Monica. We live on the east coast and have had the
same tenant in the house for the past 17 years. Nili educated us about the process, laid out
our options at each point, and always emphasized that she would follow whichever option
we selected. Her sale strategy was excellent, revealing her knowledge of the area and
experience with the psychology of potential buyers. We had 6 offers within 5 days of the first
open house. The house was in escrow less than 2 weeks after the listing went online. Nili
was very considerate of our tenant, which was a priority for us, and she took care of many
details which we could not see to because we were out of state. I can't recommend Nili
highly enough. She is professional, experienced, knowledgeable, and a joy to work with.
She also has a fabulous support staff.”
Jill Langley, 2/3/2016
5. “Before my husband and I bought our first home, I had always thought that real estate
agents made a killing on commissions. 3% of the sales or purchase price always seemed
so high - was it worth it? After working with Nili, I would say that she is worth her weight in
gold. If you are lucky enough to get to work with Nili, you will find her to be not only an
amazing agent, but a wonderful person so full of integrity that you will also have a new
friend. My husband and I were looking for a house for several months and we ended up with
the house of our dreams. As we looked at various homes, Nili pointed out things I never
would have thought about, all the while being very sensitive to what we wanted. She had
great tips on things that had value and things that did not, which was critical help for first
time homebuyers. She was 100% reachable, responsive, involved, and knowledgeable (she
even answered a call on a gurney in the ER - seriously!) As this was our first home, she
guided us through every single process and explained everything so clearly. She brought
with her many years of good referrals to other professionals when it came time to do
inspections. If you want an agent to go to bat for you and have your best intentions at heart,
look no further. Nili is a star.”
Tom and Neela Hummel, 6/25/2015
6. “I have to pat myself on the back for choosing Nili as our realtor. She was amazing:
knowledgeable, competent, and understanding. She pushed for the best possible price and
got it, and then proceeded to guide us through the process, putting our interests first, while
maintaining a good working relationship with the buyer. Who knew there was so much to
know about selling a home? This was such an easy process with Nili at helm. My husband
and I highly recommend her, for buyers and sellers you can't do better”
Susan Sherman and Dr. Lloyd Peckner, 5/26/2015
7. “I worked with Nili to buy my first home... It was exactly what I wanted, a true (and major)
fixer in Santa Monica. It was the least expensive home in the area at the time - and I would
never have "won" the house without Nili. Beyond that, as a first-timer, she walked me
through the home buying process - giving me the confidence to lock in and make the
purchase. Most remarkably, the property had THREE all cash offers - almost guaranteeing
that I would not get the house. But Nili worked with the sellers' agent to convince them I was
the offer to take. She let them know I would follow through (unlike many all-cash offers)
because I intended to fix it and live there - not tear it down to redevelop. Without Nili, her
excellent negotiating skills and personability, I'd not have my home. (She also got a 20k
price reduction on top of everything!) I was able to renovate, restore and renew the house.
Nili has kept in contact and has been a great support though the entire process. ”
Bryan M Hale, 11/1/2015
8. “An expert, hands-on professional who guides a real estate transaction from start to finish
and beyond!:
We have now had the pleasure of working with Nili on three real estate transactions: the
purchase of a home, the sale of that home two years later, and the purchase of another
home.
Nili has superior skill in researching property values within the context of the market. For the
purchase of our first house, she was thorough and complete in providing information
regarding comps as well as “context” within which the value of a property near the beach
could be evaluated. She used this information to provide comprehensive communication to
us, but also in using it to negotiate a reasonable yet competitive price. She wielded her
skills and her knowledge in an aggressive yet always pleasant manner, reacted very quickly
to compete effectively with multiple offers, and we got the house.
(continued)
9. We were relocating from another city, so Nili took it upon herself to assist us long distance
with the maintenance of the property, including finding us a gardener, an audio visual
installer, and other professionals. She was our hands-on advocate from the moment of
initial contact to the date we moved into the house and after.
This is precisely why we contacted her to assist us in selling the house two years later and
in purchasing the house we currently own. And once again, she provided exact, careful
advice and guidance through both processes, selling and buying. She created a very high
end, impressive marketing approach, producing a gorgeous, informative selling flyer on the
house for open-house visitors (of which there were over 100 the very first weekend the
house was listed.) Parking can be difficult for a beach street property, so she contracted and
coordinated valet parking for the open house, and placed signage intelligently so that
potential buyers could easily view the house and property. She was exacting and
comprehensive in the listing of the property on real estate websites (Trulia, Zillow, etc.) and
even managed to garner a coveted listing on the front page of the L.A. Times Real Estate
section. The house went to contract within 10 days of its initial listing.
(Continued)
10. On the purchase side, once again we were in contention with other interested buyers. And
once again, Nili stayed on top of the negotiations from morning to late evening and
maintained a level of constant communication that ultimately rewarded us with a contract.
So on both purchases, while we were competing against multiple offers in a highly
competitive market, Nili succeeded in procuring the properties for us.
Equally on the purchases and the sale, Nili was our champion during the inspection process
– never sending an assistant or proxy – and production of punch lists and documentation
with the seller. So much of this process relies on careful presentation of one’s written and
verbal communication. Poise is needed; writing skills are needed; an appreciation for
nuance and finesse is needed. Nili could conduct a master class in all three of these.
She is an extremely experienced real estate professional, an unrelenting advocate for her
clients, and ultimately and thankfully for us, a treasured advisor and good friend. ”
Eric Warmstein and Kevin Bothwell, 5/24/2015
11. “I stumbled upon a house and figured I didn't need an agent. I'll just buy it. What's the big
deal?
I got to the open house. People were swarming. Came back for a second look. ALL THE
SAME PEOPLE WERE THERE. Panic set in.
Fortunately I had met Nili on a couple of occasions long ago and for some reason she
popped into my head. I called her, asked her to look at the house and to tell me if I was
crazy. After confirming that I probably was, in fact, crazy and had been for quite some
time......she agreed it was a great house for me and assured me that if I wanted it, she
would get it for me.
She navigated through a very competitive bidding situation with ease, helping me to
construct the best (not necessarily highest) offer and the house was soon mine.
The closing was one of the easiest, least painful business transactions I have ever been
through. I could not recommend her more highly.”
Rich Carter, 7/16/2013
12. “Amazing. We recently moved to LA from abroad and to find Nili was an absolute
godsend. Her knowledge made us feel comfortable about the process at every
step. And there are a lot of complicated steps! Her knowledge of the market and
the area made the process very comfortable but what made it special was that it
was so personal. We felt as if she understood us and what we needed which is
exactly what we needed.
Incredibly professional and experienced but Oh yeah, she is also a really nice
person....That counts for a lot!”
Ben Quinn and Catie Ziller, 10/21/2013
13. “ My family and I have had the pleasure of working with Nili three times and each
and every experience has been wonderful. She has an expert knowledge of every
neighborhood in Los Angeles and that allows her to pin point the perfect home for
your needs. Nili is extremely passionate about what she does. She always
responded to any questions right away with a call, text or email and never left us
hanging. Her passion helps make the complicated experience of buying or selling a
home, fun and exciting.”
Karan Soni, 2/20/2014
14. “Nili tirelessly showed us MANY homes all over LA as we chose the perfect spot for our
family. Not only does she have incredible professional experience with these areas but she
was born and raised here and has, thus, lived, played and worked all over. This allows her
to offer insights into the various areas that would be lost on a newer agent or one from out
of town. When it came time to put in an offer and then close on our house her knowledge
and guidance was indispensable. We absolutely love our new home but look forward to
working with Nili again when the time comes for us to move once more. And we highly
recommend Nili to anyone looking to buy a home.”
Sara and Ryan Snow, 10/18/2013
15. “Nili is the absolute best. She's well informed, well connected, very experienced and most
importantly trustworthy to negotiate on your behalf and be aligned with your interests (and
not short-sighted to try to push a deal for her own benefit). And she's a tough, tough
negotiator.
We would use Nili over and over again (and have for two separate homes).
She is so skilled and also a truly wonderful person. We were lucky to have Nili helping us
with one of the most important decisions a person or family can make.”
Frank and Alison Addante, 5/7/2013
16. “I recently purchased a 8 unit apartment building in West Hollywood for $1,695,000 that had
over 10 offers on it and Nili fought very hard to make sure that I was able to get the
property! The seller's agent told me directly that the reason he convinced his seller to take
my offer over the other's was because of Nili! Nili has a great reputation and other agents
want to work with her. I am very happy that we were able to close this deal as it is a cash
cow for me. Thanks Nili!! :)”
Jeff Byrd, 4/1/2013
17. “I have known Nili for around 4 years. She assisted my daughter in buying a townhouse in
2010 and recently assisted my husband and I in purchasing a townhouse. From the get go
Nili made us feel totally at ease with her personality, knowledge, professionalism, and
accessibility. Real Estate is not just a "job" for Nili; she takes an extreme amount of pride in
her work and consistently went above and beyond the call of duty to help us find the right
place at the right price. She did this for my daughter as well. I can't speak highly enough of
Nili; she will do everything in her power to make sure you find your "dream home!!”
Lauren and Dan Cline, 7/21/2013
18. “My wife and I have worked with Nili for over 20 years. We have done two transactions (1
purchase and 1 sale) over that period of time and are working on a third currently. I cannot
say enough about Nili’s skills in regards to follow up, negotiations, and overall
professionalism. If there is a benchmark of what a truly great real estate Broker should be, it
is Nili Hudson.
If you are fortunate enough to work with Nili you will do yourself and your family a great
favor and be provided the best possible real estate representation. The utmost possible
financial outcome will come as a result.
If you want the best there is, hire Nili Hudson.”
Tim and Maria McCaslin, 4/17/2013
19. “Nili, exceeded our expectations. She marketed our condo beautifully, generated a ton of
interest and then negotiated on our behalf smartly. She kept us informed each step of the
way and educated us when we needed it. I would recommend Nili highly, they don’t come
any better!! Thank you Nili!.”
Brian Harris, 9/6/2016
20. “Nili was our agent on TWO separate transactions over a two year period for both the
purchase and subsequent sale of our condo in LA (Century City). For anyone looking for
real estate representation on the Westside, there is no one better than Nili.
What we really loved about Nili, aside from her in-depth knowledge of the Westside market,
is that she treated us with the same level of respect, attention and professionalism as if we
were clients buying a multi-million dollar property (which we definitely weren't!! But point
being, she cares about clients no matter who you are or how much you are looking to
spend.)
She demonstrated just how awesome she is when she helped us sell our condo in early
2010. The market had taken a huge dive, and yet we had multiple offers very close to our
asking price in a matter of DAYS--with an accepted offer less than a week after we first
listed. Amazing!! She knows her stuff--how to price, how to market, you name it!
Sadly, we moved away from the LA area or we would use Nili again in a heartbeat. She's
the kind of agent who makes you just want to keep buying and selling just so you can work
with her again!”
Kim and Alex Taylor, 3/24/2013
21. “My little family recently purchased a house in Woodland Hills and Nili was our agent. We
were first time buyers, and she simply made it happen by helping us step by step through
the process, she recommended the best mortgage broker and stayed in contact with the
seller's agent every day till she got us the house of our dreams.
Moreover, she watched our backs by putting all the right things in our contract, and even re-
negotiated with the seller after escrow to get us an even better deal than we've agreed on. I
would trust her blindly with buying or selling any property for me in the future.”
Ramy and Sharra Romany, 3/20/2013
22. “Awesome realtor. Knows her business forward and back. Very good listener and patient
with clients. Very thorough and diligent. Very responsive around the clock. Very attentive
and fastidious. Highest recommendation.”
Doctor Etan Milgrom, 3/20/2013
23. “I would highly recommend Nili Hudson to anyone who is even considering a new home.
She is wealth of knowledge in real estate and the overall LA market. Her charming
personality makes it pleasure working together and her level of client dedication will exceed
expectation.
She is incredibly passionate about her work and has a clear understanding of her client's
needs.”
Mark Meyerhoff, 1/08/2013
24. “Nili is without question the most professional realtor I've ever had the pleasure of working
with.
We first met Nili during a stressful cross country move, she treated our hunt for a rental
home with the same level of diligence and importance as she would the purchase of a $5m
home.
Unlike many realtors she fosters a genuine relationship with all her clients (home owners or
tenants) which will ensure you continue to work with her until you find your perfect home.
I've referred her to numerous friends who have all had the same wonderful experience. A
true professional.”
Tomos Evans, 12/10/2012
