Client Testimonials |
David's thorough knowledge of available inventory, including "unlisted" properties, was the key to my purchasing my dream home. He gave me frequent progress reports, all with the amount of detail I requested, and was very effective in following up at every step of the buying and escrow process. We didn't miss a single deadline and I credit David for that!
I've worked with a lot of agents through the years, but David certainly stands out for his integrity, shrewdness, and market insight.

Hollywood Hills Seller
To Whom It May Concern:
During the past six months I have had the pleasure of working closely with
Realtor David Kean while he successfully marketed my downtown Los Angeles loft.
The successful sale was due to not only to David’s experience and persistence, but to David’s calm, constructive responses in dealing with the buyer and buyer’s realtor and their last minute demands, changes and mortgage glitches. David’s determination and foresight enabled us to sell our property at the requested price -- in a very challenging economic market.
I enthusiastically recommend David Kean.
Sincerely,
Downtown LA Seller
David was a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail and ability to close a deal were excellent. As a developer I work with Real Estate Brokers on a continual basis, however, David's market knowledge and level of professionalism are a rarity.
LA Developer, Buyer
Silverlake Buyer
In the three years that I have known David Kean, he has been a tireless champion. His work as a real estate agent has brought many new faces and friends to our community, and they have helped revitalize our city by bringing businesses, their friends, their pets, and their hopes, all of which are dramatically transforming downtown. He's literally moving and shaking people into our city's core, sometimes holding their hands, so that they see the potential that we've seen for years. Yet he's always upfront with them, so there are no unpleasant surprises.
It's not all business for him, though. He truly cares about our neighborhoods and is very passionate about safety, cleanliness, and the health of all its residents. He has helped bring awareness by raising the profile of our homeless, and through charitable and social organizations, he has tried to improve their lives. He inspires many around him and uses his humor to create change -- or sometimes just to make people laugh, which isn't a bad thing considering all the hard work and battles we have to contend with. But David never shies away from a battle. It's a good thing because without him, we'd have one less voice to help make all our dreams a reality.
LA City Councilman, LA Movers & Shakers Nomination 2005
I first took notice of David Kean at an appeal hearing when he displayed his passion and guts by defending a highly opposed development project. He stood his ground in a fairly hostile room, pointed out several advantages of the developments and how it would positively impact the neighborhood. He seemed to have a good understanding of the important role development plays in the revitalization on a city.
LA Developer, LA Movers & Shakers Nomination 2005
I probably never would have bought a home without David's patience, guidance, and wise counsel. Purchasing a home turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. I was very skittish at first, but David was able to guide me through every step of the process using his experience, knowledge of the market, and his understanding of the benefits of homeownership. When I decided to trade up a few years later and purchase a larger home, I turned to David to sell my previous home. He did excellent job at every step of the process. I can't recommend him highly enough to any buyer or seller!

Former Manager, Estates and Architectural Division
David Kean of the John Aaroe Group is the real estate broker who helped me with the purchase of my condo in November, 2011. I highly recommend David to any person looking for a real estate broker. David is very knowledgeable and connected in the real estate business. David not only helped me with the purchase of my property, but he was able to link me to other professionals that I needed in the purchase process. David is also very knowledgeable in the markets which he works in and was able to tell me detailed information about the building I bought in, the neighborhood, and recent trends. This information was very valuable in helping me make the right purchase decision. The brokerage that David is a part of also has a lot of resources behind it. His Company's technology helped me easily find properties I was interested in, and the technology also made the document process very simple and streamlined. David is also very genuine, professional, and courteous; I thoroughly enjoyed working with David.
