See what our clients have to say.
We wanted to take a moment to say thank you for helping us find a beautiful home in California. Jeff and I flew to California late in 2024 while Megan, Jeff's daughter, was looking at homes in the valley. I said to him offhandedly “maybe someday when I retire we should sell the city and get a home here”. We talked about maybe we would look at homes in Santa Monica or Malibu, which was close enough to Tarzana/Encino/Calabasas, but also had a community vibe. Just for fun, I opened up Zillow and saw the listing on 120 Hart. We decided to drive by it and saw your sign and called you directly to see if we could see it. It was a whim, and early in the process and the very first home we saw, but we knew it was special and that we should seriously consider buying it. We did seriously consider buying it, and as you know, we ultimately opted not to buy it because of the uncertainty of the construction of the home next door and we weren’t sure if it was the right neighborhood. But the one thing we were certain about in the processes, having bought many homes between us, is that you were incredibly impressive. And over the course of time, you only continued to impress us more. You have a keen eye for design and homes that are built meticulously. You have a knack for understanding what clients are looking for and what will be a great home for them. When Megan became pregnant and Jeff was diagnosed, we thought… it is time to be closer. Let’s go for it. And we did! The time you and Anton spent with us that first week helping us learn the neighborhoods and figure out which attributes were most important to us in a home was invaluable. Throughout this process, you encouraged us to see homes we otherwise wouldn’t have seen, which were among themselves great choices. And you never pushed us into making a bid on a home, even when other realtors would have done so (we know you were disappointed when we didn’t bid on Boca de Canon, which is a great house, but you were incredibly professional about it and that says all anyone needs to know). You also have a fantastic team. Anton has great intuition and is quickly picking up things about the business and how to be a great realtor. He has a great work ethic, but he also has attributes that you can’t teach. We were very happy working with him and we can see why you are proud of the young man you have raised. He’s not just a son working on your team. He is an incredible asset and we value his advise, as well. We, too, are in a service business and recognize how hard you and Anton work, how effortless you make it seem, and we feel like we are among your only clients when we absolutely know that is not the case. Finally, Cindy, we would be remiss if we didn’t say how much we admire and respect how you are devoted to your family. From taking the time to be at your sons’ games, to hitting the pause button when Davis needed you, to taking the time to celebrate Anton’s birthday, to talking to Augie to make sure he knew that Gia was coming home to play soon…that is the stuff of life. Thank you for all you and Anton did to help us find our dream home. We look forward to celebrating with you, meeting Donald, and referring friends and family to the Cindy Ambuhel Team. With warmest regards, Jeff and Gayle Klein

From the day we met Cindy and Luca they took the time to really get to know our home, the details, the quality and the story. They intimately understood what they were representing. As a result they saw a value in the home that gave them the confidence to list significantly higher than other agents were suggesting. They were able to strategically develop a unique stand-out marketing campaign that resonated with buyers, creating meaningful interest and significant demand, resulting in multiple over-ask offers in less than a week (even in a tumultuous market!). Ultimately they achieved a record breaking sale; Santa Monica’s highest price per square foot ever recorded for a turnkey property. Beyond this, they understood that a deal is often times more than just the sale number; they patiently heard all of our needs and delivered on every single one of them without skipping a beat. Perhaps most importantly, Cindy and Luca are good, kind humans who prioritize integrity, trust and reputation. They embody old school values when it comes to their clients; we genuinely felt represented, fervently protected, taken care of and like they had our best interest in mind every step of the way. Our home and time were treated as though it was their own; with care and respect. Cindy is tenacious, extremely intelligent, no nonsense, always three steps ahead, with the highest energy levels and best work ethic we’ve ever encountered. A backbone and sense of humor to match. Her deep industry knowledge and decades of experience is only matched by her high emotional intelligence and ability to cut through the noise, in the most delightful of ways. She is results driven and focuses on the big picture, but intimately understands that it’s the small details that achieve the goal. Luca is smart, strategic, disciplined, detailed, steady and the most incredible communicator. He isn’t afraid of rolling up his sleeves. Everyone he encounters feels his authenticity which goes a long way in this industry. His wide network and strong reputation precedes him. An absolute pleasure to work with. So often you hear “the home sells itself” and “the market establishes the price”. Cindy and Luca are a real example of why selecting the right agent, taking the time upfront and treating each property as its own directly results in a plus (or minus) when it comes to results. They are true professionals and we are absolutely blown away.

As a real estate developer, I have worked with many brokers, both on projects and for my own homes. Cindy is tireless, creative, and the hardest-working agent I know. Cindy recently sold our Brentwood home. Another well-known Los Angeles broker discouraged us from listing it at anything higher than $2,200/sf. Cindy recognized its value as more than a price-per-square-foot property and suggested a more optimistic list price. Because she is so highly respected within the Los Angeles real estate community, Cindy brought us dozens of qualified buyers and eventually sold our home for over $3,000/sf, which I believe may have set a record. She is a pleasure to work with and a total pro, and she is as lovely as she is impressive. We wouldn’t work with anyone else.

Having Cindy Ambuehl, Luca Diamont, and Lauren Greif guide us to an off-market sale of our home was perfect. This was not an easy project, with issues that could have become problematic, but this fabulous team was able to masterfully help us navigate even troubled waters to a quick and successful conclusion. We highly recommend the professionalism and willingness of this team to go the extra mile to assist in all aspects of the negotiation and post-contract dealings that may be required. Moreover, we have found friends for life.

Cindy represented me in selling my deceased brother’s Brentwood house. From the start Cindy was clear and direct in her advice. In particular, Cindy managed my expectations both as to price and process. When offers arrived she quickly highlighted the important details in each. It made clear which was the best. Cindy and her staff made closing easy. More words couldn’t say any more than selling the house was a simple and straightforward. For that Cindy and her team deserve a lot of credit.
