We were so fortunate to have found Larry Vein. As our Realtor, he helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. He was patient as we traveled from New York to Los Angeles to look at homes over several months. Larry is an amazing professional with great knowledge of the neighborhoods, schools, and the market over all. He really did go above and beyond to help us find what we need. From day one he was very responsive and was able to answer all the questions we had.
We are from Ukraine and as always being from a different country it requires a little more time and more documentation and he really did make our life much easier from all aspects including the paperwork. The house we ended up in was the perfect fit and we didn’t have to fly back to LA as we trusted Larry to do everything for us. He went to have a look at the house for us (sending us professional quality videos that made us feel like we were walking through the home), did a great walk through, told us all the pros and cons. In fact he was so good and precise that the person who we got the house from was also so impressed that he now also hires Larry to help him with his real estate needs. After some time our relationship changed to a friendship.
Larry is exactly the type of the person you really want to deal with when making big life changing decisions.
We couldn’t be happier with the process and the results. I would recommend Larry to anyone who is looking to buy or rent a home in the
Los Angeles area.

When I think back, it’s perfectly clear to me that if Larry Vein hadn’t been my real estate broker, I would never have gotten myself out of my Westwood condo -- in the single month I had to do it in – much less prepared the property for sale.
I knew from my first conversation with Larry that he was a knowledgeable, effective, ethical and personable broker. I had no doubt that his guidance on how to value my property, present it and maximize my gain would be a crucial advantage. But for me that was not the only issue. If I decided to sell, I was going to have to deal with belongings from 25 years of my life, as well as the long untouched ones of my husband, whose recent death had left me extremely shaken. I was way off my game. Still, I took the proverbial leap of faith, and Larry proved to be not just the great practical and strategic broker I believed he was, but an expert, inspired wrangler of overwhelmed, under-enthusiastic clients like me.
The interior of my condo had already been scheduled to be painted, but Larry went out and got five other quotes and interviewed them all. We came up with a guy who could work fast and well for a much lower price. In short order Larry got samples from various paint brands of the new neutral color needed, painted swaths on the walls and got another decision settled. On one matter after another, Larry put out the options and I decided. Car shippers, movers, stagers. He even found me a young guy willing to cart off a hundred boxes of books and a whole lot of furniture being donated. He kept all this zipping along while countering my exhaustion with an endearing natural cheerfulness. Once I’d left LA, he stayed on top of the details a seller usually has to attend to alone. Everyone I hired from the choices Larry researched and discussed with me turned out to be great. Nothing sent to Maine was broken, scratched or lost. The painting and staging of the condo were beautiful.
In the selling process, Larry articulated every essential point with perfect clarity. He was a steady reality check on expectations. As fun as he’d been in the tedious lead-up to the sale, he was Seal Team 6-focused when the sale was in play. Waiting across the country as offers and counter-offers and issues out of left field played out in Los Angeles, I never once worried about the person representing my interests in one of the most important financial transactions likely to take place in my life.
Someone who knows how to find the fun in the utterly mundane but can turn on a dime to make the right deal – that’s a rare combination of gifts. It’s quite possibly unique in the odd world of Los Angeles real estate. The first open house produced an above-asking-price offer that I accepted. The second open house two days later produced an all-cash, even higher back-up offer. The backup offer prevailed and set the new high comp for the condo building -- and sold in 12 days! After that first lucky talk I had with Larry, I could not imagine using anyone else. You will be very happy with your decisions as I was.

I could not ask for a more perfect, experienced, savvy realtor! Larry is all of this and more and I feel fortunate to have had such an astute professional on my side.
As a busy working mom, I hardly had any time to dedicate to the process of home buying and Larry was indispensable throughout, helping to simplify the process, negotiate with the seller’s agent, finding the right vendors for electrical, plumbing and HVAC and liaising with them and my banker as well as other relevant parties.
Larry made the process so seamless and his prudent advice and astute negotiating skills gave me a huge credit towards closing! Larry was with me every step of the way to advise and motivate. His positive attitude and problem solving skills approached every obstacle with ease and a can-do spirit. Larry looks at all the details and treats the home I’m buying as if it was his own home. He looked at the locks, making sure the windows were secure, fixed the dishwasher’s door, canvassed the neighborhood, did research, met the neighbors, and the list goes on.
Larry is an exemplary realtor yet personable and a consummate professional.

As overseas buyers, getting to know and understand the LA market was very challenging and scary for us! We were very fortunate to meet Larry, who was recommended by friends, and the panorama immediately changed!
Larry was there every step of the way: From the very first meeting, he took the time to help us understand the market and the way things work when buying a property in the USA. He went through every single document with us and explained with great detail what we would go through. He even helped us by preparing accurate documents of the finances we needed to take into account, talked with the bank when needed, and explained all the procedures we weren't familiar with.
When visiting properties, Larry was very detail oriented and you could see he is an expert because he immediately knew the right questions to ask. When we decided to make an offer, Larry was there to make inspection visits, contact service providers, and his knowledge in construction was very useful!
Larry was there every day and every hour for us. He is patient, professional, punctual, knowledgeable and incredibly detail oriented and thorough. By the end, we didn't feel like we were working with a broker but a close friend who had our interests at heart. Thank you for having our backs and for helping us find a place we love!

I had been thinking of buying a property for 2 years since 2016. I viewed almost hundreds houses with several agents before met Larry. Once I almost bought one, then cancelled the deal because of lender issue and later learned, when working with Larry, the property's land had many issues that would have been big problems down the road . Now, I think it was fate and a message from G-d that was not my new home! I remembered it was a Sunday, I and my husband we went out check open houses because our ex-agent was busy with other arrangements and did not reply to our calls. We met Larry during our viewing apartments, his friendly talking way and very professional advice really attracted us. Then we told him what we are looking for and he listened very carefully and wrote many notes on his journal . Over the next few weeks he amazed us to us as he showed dozens of apartments according to our needs. We were searching from Brentwood to Westwood and through West LA. Then he suggested a new area which we toured and amazed us. Finally we bought our home in the Playa Vista community!
My husband and I are doing business in Shanghai, China. I own a business with 10 locations around the city. My husband travels around the world investing in major projects. We know what is good service! I should say I did not know what a great agent can be until we meet Larry — he definitely exceeded both our expectations. He treats customers not like just a customer, more like friends. During the escrow he explained everything to us, he picked me up and drove me to my lender and escrow to sign documents. He waited patiently and was helpful at every step. After I bought the property, he helped to look after it, and very fast helped to rent out at a price that set a record for the building. I like Larry’s philosophy of his business, he said he is enjoying to help people for their dreams! Larry now is a great friend. I definitely will recommend people to him since he is the best. and we say he is a very responsible, professional and trustworthy agent — and most of all - a friend.

When we first started looking for a home in LA, we quickly began losing confidence because so many of the agents we asked for help failed to help us get into a home. Fortunately, a friend referred us to Larry and when we met him his level of professionalism and his extensive knowledge immediately impressed us. He not only has broad knowledge of both of LA’s complex real estate market and its many varying neighborhoods, but also a deep understanding of the legal procedures that go into negotiating for a house. However, more important than his expertise as a real estate professional, for us, was his patience and attention to detail. Larry is a miracle worker and he helped us identify the perfect home, at an affordable price, and in our target neighborhood—which is incredibly difficult to accomplish in this tough market. What’s more, Larry also came through for us when our financing hit a snag. He tirelessly worked with the banks and spoke to other brokers on our behalf. Without his help I’m sure we would not have been able to realize our dream of buying our first home.

My wife and I were expecting a baby and we were very busy in our careers. I met Larry and found him to be honest, direct and very professional. My wife and I decided to hire him to help us find a home for our growing family. He went to work immediately and helped us find properties in our target area on the Westside — we closed just in time for our newborn son! As an entrepreneur, I like to do all the work on my own and negotiate deals. However, I started running a new company and I, nor my wife, had time to do the real estate work. It was great to have a broker that truly represented the buyer's side in a competitive market. We worked with Larry on multiple offers and in each case he was extremely timely, collaborative and strategic... ultimately helping us land a great value on our home. His customer service was excellent throughout. On top of that, Larry brought a lot of knowledge to every tour in terms of evaluating the quality and value of the homes we viewed, the neighborhood and schools. He goes the extra mile to ensuring all stones are turned over so no surprises pop up after the deal is done. We are extremely happy in our home! Thank you Larry!

I just moved here from NYC and was very skeptical about buying in a market that I am not familiar with but Larry put me at ease. He gave me confidence and showed me proof that the LA market is strong. I took his advice, bought a property and now its worth over 100k what I paid. If not for Larry- I would still be living in a dark miserable 2 bedroom apartment with my children. His knowledge of the market and the product is amazing. In my past experience on the east coast, most agents knew very little about property aside from taking me on listing appointments. He was raised in a construction family and he is related to one of the top real estate attorneys in California. His overall knowledge is outstanding and his commitment to follow up on every detail comforting. After purchasing a home for my family, he helped me find and investment property that turned me a 25% profit immediately after close. Larry goes way and beyond his duty as a broker and helped in ways I have never seen someone in the real estate field do before him. Larry and his company, World One Properties, is the epitome of professionalism. I am fortunate to call him my friend as well.
