"I have had the privilege of knowing and being represented by Sue Carr as a realtor for the last 15 years. She represented my wife and me on the sale of our last three homes. Aside from her personal presentation, that is always professional and meticulous, her love for the work she is doing has been obvious by her acute understanding of the marketplace. Knowing where to price any property is crucial to the sale, especially in the changing marketplace we are confronted with today. Sue's understanding of pricing has proven to be "on the money" and should be trusted. Her honesty, thorough explanations and understanding of contractual issues have always been clear and helpful. Her attention to detail in staging and marketing my Windsor Square estate was crucial to its sale. Sue has always been sensitive to scheduling showings and punctual without fail.

It has been my pleasure to have her as my realtor and over these many years come to call her my friend."

"Dear Ms. Carr:

I usually do not write a letter like this, but because of the extraordinary job you performed in selling my home I felt compelled to do so.

I was impressed with the amount of marketing you executed, the number of open houses for brokers and potential buyers and the thoroughly professional manner in which you and your staff conducted themselves.

You always had the correct answer (and patience with the questions) whenever I would ask. The experience, professionalism and high ethic stance you exhibited during the term of the sale were totally above and beyond the “call of duty”.

Thank you so much for making my sale pleasant and totally painless…

If in the future I decide to buy or sell again you will absolutely be my broker of choice.

"I highly recommend the team of Janet Loveland and Sue Carr. They worked with us very closely on the sale of our home @ 613 S. Hudson Avenue in Hancock Park last year. When they say they "treat you like family - it's not just a part of their logo. They really do! We started the process of readying our home for sale in March, 2006. There was much to do to command the sales price we wanted. Janet went shopping with me for new curtains and rods and new appliances for the kitchen. Both Janet and Sue were on hand to iron the curtains and make sure they were hung to their discerning eyes. Anne ran out to Restoration Hardware when one of our rods turned out to be the wrong one for our window. They even loaned us a beautiful chair, antique mirror, hand towels, and plants to round out our new decor. Our house never looked so beautiful! They also cooked and served a delicious buffet for Broker's Open - making our home even homier.

Janet and Sue were always available for consultation, expert opinion, and moral support throughout our sale. They worked harder than any brokers I've ever worked with and, best of all, we sold our house for the price we wanted. I can't think of a team I'd rather work with than Janet, Sue, Anne, and Courtney along with their excellent assistant, Eileen. I would work with them again and recommend them to anyone considering selling or buying.

"I am writing to whole heartedly recommend the Loveland*Carr Team of realtors. Janet and Sue sold my first house in 2001 (with seven offers!) and helped me beat out several other offers to buy another house at that time. Four years later, they were the team I would count on to sell my second house and deal with a complicated inspection period while I was in the middle of a divorce. And last year, in a declining market, they sold my last house, with Anne as lead agent.

My loyalty in returning to them again and again speaks more than anything else I could say, but I would be remiss if I didn't point out their professionalism, integrity, attentiveness, vast personal and professional contacts, and overall pleasantness. They are the kind of agents that can get deals done because other agents and various professional entities like them and want to work with them.

In short, I would be happy to recommend the Loveland*Carr Team to anyone buying or selling a house."

"I had to write the letter to express how my wife and I feel about the Loveland*Carr team.

We closed escrow November 1, 2006 on our home at 428 So. Las Palmas. A few weeks earlier I mentioned to Anne Loveland that we wanted some living room sofas and chairs recovered before we moved and, “Did she know of anyone?”. The next day Anne and Janet arrived at our home in Westlake (1 hour from the Coldwell Banker office). Anne took pictures of each room for furniture placement in our new home. Janet walked the house checking color of rugs, etc. The next day she arranged for our furniture to be picked up and had samples for us to pick the fabric and color we wanted to match our oriental rugs. We discussed replacing the upstairs carpet and Janet and Mary Kay selected the color and fabrics. Then Janet arranged for the carpet to be laid before we moved in on Sunday.

We moved November 6th and 7th and on moving day all four Realtors of Loveland*Carr helped place and arrange the furniture in bedrooms, hung pictures, and worked all day. Anne Loveland, Janet Loveland, Sue Carr, Courtney Macker and Eileen Watt all helped.

Anne Loveland handed me a typed list of phone numbers of utilities, DWP, the gas company, newspapers, etc. Plus she had all the names and numbers for the gardener, pool man and gate man.

Whenever we needed a person for anything Anne had the name and telephone number. The hall stairway and railing had been painted white and needless to say, it looked awful. Janet arranged for a decorative painter to finish the banister in an antique iron finish and the stairway in a magnesite finish. They are both the highlight now of the entrance hall.

I could go on about the warm relationship the Loveland’s and the Carr’s displayed, they are unequaled in the Realtor business of today. I want to especially thank Anne Loveland for all her personal help and logical thinking on all our everyday questions.

"I am writing this letter to express what a wonderful job the Loveland*Carr team did in selling my property in Hancock Park. It is not often you find such a pleasant and hardworking team, a group who worked flawlessly together, especially when faced with the extraordinary circumstances they encountered with this sale.

It is rather difficult to describe the magnitude of complexity surrounding the sale of my property. The property was a Trust sale, with two trustees from two different families. The duplex was located in a rent-controlled area, and had tenants in both units, including a 93 year old woman who had rented her unit for over twenty years. Showings of the property were limited to only TWO hours per week, and the tenants had to be called and reminded ahead of time. Each week when I touched bases with Sue and/or Courtney they were delightful and friendly, not to mention their undying patience as they and their team continued to work around these situations.

It never seemed to mater what circumstances arose, there was always a member of the team available to answer questions, solve problems, and help in any way needed.

I was absolutely impressed with the entire team and would highly recommend them to anybody looking to sell their property in the Hancock Park area."

"While it took me about 5 years to convince my husband to look for a new home in Hancock Park, it took about 5 seconds to decide on the realtors to represent us- Sue and Janet. They represented the sellers when we purchased our first house, and although we lived there for seven years, we always knew we would look to Sue and Janet when we were ready to sell. Sue and Janet took charge immediately- buying a new home and selling our old home was effortless. They were responsive, attentive to detail, and helped us negotiate the right price on both the purchase and the sale."

"Sue and Janet recently represented us in the sale of our home in Hancock Park. Their attention to detail in preparing the house for sale, creating elegant and professional marketing materials, pricing the house appropriately, and managing the administrative details of the sale process once we entered escrow, were impeccable.

However, we would expect nothing less than that, having known both Sue and Janet for over fifteen years, and having worked with Sue on the purchase of our first home in Los Angeles in the late 1980s and on three other personal residence transactions since then.

Sue and Janet's integrity, professionalism and effectiveness are unrivaled which combined with the fact that they are charming, humorous and fun to work with make them second to none in our minds. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone."

"Luck was on our side 14 years ago when we met Sue Carr at one of her Hancock Park open houses. So charming and impeccably dressed, Sue's knowledge of Hancock Park was apparent after speaking with her for just a few minutes. We liked her immediately and knew we could trust her to help us find our dream home-not an easy task since we are perfectionists and extremely picky people! Sue worked with us for two years. Two YEARS! She never showed us a house that did not somehow resonate with our desires and needs. And when we found THE house that would become our HOME, Sue was there for us during the entire process, answering all our questions, sometimes before we could ask them, advising us and introducing us to people like herself, who were sincere and knowledgeable in their field. From insurance brokers to general contractors, Sue's recommendations were top notch. It was obvious that Sue only worked with the best. So when she partnered with Janet Loveland, a true icon in Hancock Park real estate, it seemed only natural. The best with the best!

Aside from their real estate prowess and business expertise, the great thing about Sue and Janet is that they both live in the neighborhood. It is a real comfort to know there is someone near by that you can trust and has the knowledge to advise you on the care and feeding of the most important investment of your life!

The California real estate market is like none other and it is imperative to have people you can trust to advise you on how to list and market your property. When we decided to move out of state after 12 years in Hancock Park, it was a no brainer to call on Sue and Janet. Within a week of listing we had 5 offers and ended up selling for over asking price. Sue and Janet's marketing plan and selling strategy produced such outstanding results that we were able to step up a level when we purchased our new home. We will be forever grateful for their advice and friendship."
