Testimonials

Obeid was superb during our buying process! He listened and followed our plan and because of that, we got our end goal ! He was patient with us every step of the way and explained everything very thoroughly ! It was a complicated sale process and he made it so smooth and “painless”.

Obeid is exceptionally professional, calm, and patient. Our sale was particularly challenging due to our family situation, but Obeid guided us through every obstacle with great care and expertise. His support made a difficult process much more manageable, and we truly appreciate his dedication and assistance.

If we had another home for sale in the Corona Del Mar area it wouldn’t be necessary for us to interview other realtors. Obeid would have the listing. Our first meeting was by chance. When we began selecting a realtor, we remembered him and appreciated his candor about our property. His proposed pricing and marketing strategy clearly valued our home more than others. Obeid’s suggestions, his justification, and strategy for the house refresh made sense to us. It is what we had been hoping to hear. Managing and preparing the house for market in the shortest timeframe was a major concern for us. He was always available for questions by cell, text or email. We were given a timeline and he was hands-on ensuring his team of remodelers were following the plans. Being familiar with CDM, this area in particular, he stressed the importance of timing and he was right. All his work helped generate multiple offers sooner than anyone expected and for the value of the property. We were given updates as he handled negotiating a record-breaking price with the highlight being half a million above our asking price! Are we pleased with the results – –VERY! Thank you, Obeid!

I had the pleasure of working with Obeid Habibi from the Daftarian Group, and I can honestly say he is one of the best agents I've ever come across. Obeid typically sells high-end, $10M+ homes in Newport Coast, but he took on the challenge of helping me sell my $2.6M property in West Hollywood, which is outside of his usual market. I was blown away by the depth of experience and professionalism he brought to the table—it's a different league compared to most agents in Los Angeles. Initially, I thought it would be a good idea to co-list the property with a local agent, thinking their knowledge of the area would add value. In retrospect, that was a mistake. While the local agent didn’t bring much to the table, Obeid was laser-focused, knowledgeable, and extremely proactive. His expertise in the luxury market and his strategic approach to marketing and negotiation were unmatched. Obeid handled everything with precision, from bringing in the right buyers to navigating the unique challenges of selling a high-end property in a complex market like Los Angeles. His ability to make insightful decisions at every stage of the process is something I’ll never forget. Had I let him run the entire deal solo, I’m confident it would have been even smoother. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who understands the luxury market and delivers results regardless of location, I can’t recommend Obeid enough. The Daftarian Group simply operates on a different level, and Obeid is proof of that. He’s hands down the best agent I’ve ever worked with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again for any future real estate needs and I have done over 5 transactions with him and counting.

Our relationship with Obeid began when we met him at an open house three years before he eventually represented us on our recent home purchase. During that time we went from looking to purchase a home, to deciding to rebuild our current home, to deciding building was too much work and we should buy. Obeid stayed in touch with us throughout the years and when we were ready to find a home, he and Paul were instrumental in finding our dream home. They brought a home to us that, while it checked all our boxes, is not one we would have considered because it was listed above our price range. Because of their inside knowledge of the market and creative deal structuring, they were able to put together a deal that got us the home within the range we were looking. And throughout the process, Obeid and Paul were there to handle any issue that arose. When we needed to connect with our future neighbor, Obeid personally made the connection. When we needed to find furniture in short order, Paul provided his contacts which were able to get us most furniture within three weeks. Paul and Obeid even purchased the counter stools for our new kitchen as a gift. They did what needed to be done to close the deal and were professional and responsive throughout. We are now listing our previous home with Paul and Obeid and it's already off to a great start. They've brought in very capable and economical repair people, painters and other vendors who will help make sure the home shows well. We are confident we're in good hands.

Two words come to mind that make Obeid extremely successful and effective, persistence perseverance. His professionalism and knowledge of Corona Del Mar is off the chart. He has high integrity and is very conscientious and tenacious, always listening and keeping the clients’ best interests in mind. He is extremely responsive to questions, often responding immediately to late night emails and even when he is on vacation. He shows great attention to the details ensuring a smooth transaction and successful closed. We have the highest confidence in Obeid and look forward to working him again, and again.

I am writing this review of recognition of Obeid Habibi and the highly, professional, enthusiastic, efficient service he recently provided me, with the upmost integrity and confidentiality, in the recent rental of a property at Crystal Cove . I look forward to working with him again in the future. It is a pleasure working with Obeid whose personal ability, attention to details and enthusiasm was able to put everyone at ease. Obeid was always available to quickly respond to questions, whether in person, via mobile phone, or e-mail not only from me but from other realtors, potential buyers.

I had an outstanding experience with Obeid Habibi. I don’t think I can say enough good things about him. It was my first time buying a home and Obeid came on this journey with me. Obeid would always keep me up to date on available inventory. He provided regular market updates as well. Obeid was always on top of off-market properties as well, and also alerting me about coming soon houses that fit my criteria. When I found properties I was interested in, Obeid would schedule showings to get into the properties immediately, sometimes as early as the next morning. He never wasted any time and was very considerate of my time and busy schedule. We wrote on multiple properties over a 4 month period and one house we actually opened escrow on and then we decided it wasn’t the right fit and he helped us cancel our non-contingent offer and get our deposit back in an impossible situation. When I finally found a house I really wanted, we were up against 8 other parties and he still came through for me. Obeid even successfully negotiated $200k off of the asking price and we were able to purchase the property. He poured his heart into this and it showed. Obeid is such a personable, honest and trustworthy realtor. He not only has superb communication skills but also gave great advice and was extremely knowledgeable about the market and the overall purchase process. Obeid has patience, persistence, and good ethics. Thank you Obeid Habibi for helping me purchase my dream home. I will definitely be recommending Obeid Habibi to all my friends and family as well as work with him again if I ever have any more real estate needs!

I've tried to work with several agents in the past and always felt like it was just a one-sided transaction, where the agent just wanted their buck and wanted out. Obeid completely changed the way I perceive real estate agents. He has a few key factors that I'd like to outline that separate him from other agents. For reference, I purchased a
