Testimonials
Read what clients have to say about working with Adrienne Kessler.
Adrienne’s greatest attribute in any real estate transaction (and in life, for that matter), is her dedication and commitment to treating her clients like family. She will fight for you as though you are one of her own (how many times did we hear, “Honey, I’m here for you”, but she backed up that comment with tenacity, empathy, and hard work). There are invariably stressful bumps along the transaction road, whether buying or selling, but Adrienne does her damnedest to soothe the process, all the while dotting all the i’s and crossing the t's making sure everybody from escrow reps to lenders are all on the same page. For anybody looking for a realtor who will adopt you into her extended family while doing a highly credible job as a representative for both selling and purchasing a home, we heartily recommend Adrienne."

“I just wanted to thank you, once again, for your marketing in the sale of my townhouse in Lake Balboa. As you know, this house had a good amount of sentimental value for me, so I especially appreciate the way you handled it all – your efficiency, your professionalism, your expertise, your integrity and your invaluable, clear, direct advice in the remodeling, listing and closing. You really are the best and it was more than a pleasure working with you – it was a perfectly executed transaction from both a professional and personal point of view.”

Over the years, Adrienne helped us buy two houses and sell another. Her experience in the marketplace was professional with other agents who admired her integrity. Her leadership gave us the strength we needed to wait for the right offer, and turned it into a closing; Her attention to detail protected us from later potential problems and gave us peace of mind about our transactions.

“Throughout the process, Adrienne had my back: identifying homes that fit my needs, skillfully negotiating a good price for my new home, and protecting my interests during the Escrow. I have worked with other agents and know the difference: Adrienne is truly dedicated to taking care of her client’s best interest.”

“It has been such a pleasure working with Adrienne that we were both a little sad for it to end. They made everything so easy – from buying our beautiful new house to selling our old one that we loved so much. We would recommend them to anyone!”
Dana Green and Jason Wanatick

“I am pleased to say that Adrienne Kessler and Claudia Batson sold my house in 3 weeks in a tough real estate environment . I previously had my home listed with another agent in the area who was very popular and also considered the number 1 agent in Studio City. I decided to make a change to go with Adrienne Kessler and Claudia Batson, “The Dona Girls,” when my house remained on the market for a long period of time. They have a great marketing campaign, which included great advertising; demonstrated honesty and passion for their real estate business, and worked very hard to ensure the transaction went as smoothly as possible. I would not hesitate to recommend them, as I know they will put all their efforts and time into handling all their real estate business transactions.”
Shirley Adams
Professor of Theatre Arts
“As first time home buyers, we didn’t know what to expect and were hesitant to trust just anyone with the biggest purchase of our lives. She listened to us, and took the time to really understand our wants and needs. It took nearly a year, but Adrienne stuck by us and didn’t give up searching for the perfect fit. With her help we found the most beautiful place and are absolutely in love with it!”
Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford
Actors
“Wow,.. What an amazing feat!!! All these years of looking and searching with other agents, until I found Adrienne. Coming to this day, now to have keys in hand and be able to head over this afternoon and be in my new apt and soak it all in. And I’m bringing my bathing suit!!! Thank you for the incredible card and gift. The card was enough, on its own, to soar me high into the sky. Such lovely sentiment. I feel so lucky and grateful to have had you looking out for me and your professionalism was at the top of your game. Then to also get a housewarming gift to head to my favorite spot!!! It’s just like on HGTV!!!”
Nina Paskowitz
Motion Picture Hairstylist
“Adrienne Kessler and Claudia Batson listed my home at 3195 Dona Mema Place and accomplished what several other agents were unable; they sold and closed on the property in a very short time. They also sold it for more than I expected, in a very down market. Whenever I plan to buy, or sell in the future they will certainly be my choice of agents.”
Gilbert Bell
Film Producer
“I have had dealings with Adrienne in both selling my house and in purchasing the home I now live in. You are in great hands with Adrienne Kessler.”
Veronica Cartwright
Actress
“Adrienne immediately identified our needs and concerns and was completely optimistic about getting our house sold and getting us into our dream home. She kept us involved and informed, explaining things every step of the way so that we felt comfortable with the decisions we were making. Adrienne sold our house at the first open house she held and remained attentive to our needs during the escrow process. We will recommend Adrienne to everyone we know who is looking to buy or sell or home.”
Roberto Orci & Melissa Blake
Entertainment Writers
“Adrienne Kessler is a warm, thoughtful, and intelligent, professional. I have personally seen her willingness to be flexible, patient and creative. She facilitates deals that in the hands of anybody else would have fallen apart. She is a gem and is an asset at all stages of the transaction process.”
Neal Zeavy
Director of the Southern California Special Olympics
“As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I happened upon Adrienne Kessler by accident and what a happy accident it turned out to be. Upon attending a local open house, Adrienne struck up a conversation with us about our likes and dislikes, wants and needs, and then followed up promptly via email with houses for sale that may be a good fit – no strings attached. His approach was just right for us: clearly interested in our business but not the least bit aggressive or pushy. It was indicative of the genuine, solid agent he proved himself to be. From there, we toured a home we were drawn to and Adrienne walked us through every step of the home buying process from making the initial offer, countering in competition with another offer, and once our offer was accepted – hooray! – suggesting quality inspectors, negotiating seller credits, and answering our every email and text filled with questions and concerns promptly and patiently. As escrow came to a close, we realized Adrienne hadn’t simply been our agents in this deal; they were advocates we could trust. We honestly do not know how buying our first home could have been a better experience. Making the largest investment of our lives thus far came with myriad emotions – excitement, anxiety, you-name-it – but through it all,Adrienne were calm, kind, professional, and truly, profoundly helpful. We have and will continue to give them our highest recommendation.”
Coleman and Jennifer Herbert

“Adrienne Kessler is a great realtor. Adrienne helped me through what can be an extremely stressful process in a gracious and professional manner – she not only found me the perfect house to buy – she found the perfect buyers for my house in two seconds flat. Working with her has been a joy.”
Hilary Shepard
Actress/ Producer
“Adrienne’s unswerving commitment to my best interests began the moment I made the decision to sell my home and continued through my purchase of a new home. Her knowledge and depth of experience helped me through giving up a beloved residence which sold in a day, then searching for someplace new and budget friendly to be happy in again. When I needed to understand any part of the process, she was available to provide the information. For the best possible experience buying and//or selling your home, you cannot find a better real estate agent, an agent who is all you need them to be, and so much more.”
Maggie Fields
Production Coordinator
“The Adrienne Kessler Group is a great team. Whenever I wanted to see a house Adrienne would be there to show it. Her enthusiasm and genuine interest in our search never wavered. She was very responsive and was there for us every step of the way. With the market being so competitive at our time of buying we had our doubts about being able to secure a house we liked. We would never have gotten our house without Adrienne. The Adrienne Kessler Group is a formidable team and Adrienne is simply the best!”

“As first time buyers who had been hesitant to take the plunge, Adrienne was a calming presence. In what we remember as being an ugly crisis Adrienne rushed over on a moments notice and diffused an otherwise unpleasant situation. She is hardworking and honest, but above all, she is loyal to her clients.”

“I have known Adrienne for several years, and we have interacted professionally numerous times during that period. Throughout our activities, Adrienne has demonstrated conscientiousness, competence, and good will in dealing with clients, as well as administrating business transactions. Her decision making seems to be based on sound business experience, in my opinion, she is an invaluable consultant to any client.”
Fred Hoffman

“Not only is Adrienne the best real estate agent I’ve ever worked with, she is the ONLY real estate agent that I feel confident in recommending to other sellers and buyers. She respects her clients, she’s on top of market trends, and she adds an extra level of heart and soul in everything she does. I’m proud to say that Adrienne Kessler sold my home!”
Gary Grant Trinklein
Actor/Producer
“I’ve had two very favorable transactions using Adrienne: I purchased a home in Studio City in 2001 and sold it three years later. There were many realtors to choose from in the LA area, but Adrienne quickly became my realtor of choice. She knows residential realty thoroughly and has a large network of resources available to help in many aspects of the transaction if needed. All aspects were extremely well negotiated on my behalf (financially), and all parties involved were treated with utmost respect.”
Dan Schamrowski
Executive
Adrienne Kessler has been my agent for my last three real estate transactions. I can say without reservation that she went above and beyond the call of duty. Not only did she take care of all the contracts etc. with meticulous detail and get me the very best deal possible, but more importantly, she took the time to really understand what we needed, and never lost patience with us when those needs grew or shifted.”
Clare Carey
Actress
“I wanted to send a quick email to express our gratitude to Adrienne for selling our house so incredibly quickly and efficiently. We had multiple offers to choose from, and all of the (at times, intense) negotiations I felt were handled in an incredibly professional, forthright and astute manner. The dedication Adrienne brings to her profession and the service Adrienne provides is simply impeccable, and her attention to detail is astonishing, so I’ve had no hesitation in already recommending Adrienne to several of my friends.”
