My husband and I interviewed Erica in January of 2024 to begin a focused search for our first home investment property. We had narrowed in on specific LA neighborhoods and we chose Erica because she is one of the top agents in our search location and our interview with her personally and our reference checks proved that she was thoughtful, detail oriented, and dedicated to finding the best match for her clients. We had a long conversation with one of her previous clients who raved about Erica’s expertise and they made it clear they would continue to work with her for all of their future needs, which made it easy for us to choose her as our agent.

Erica’s approach to our search was specific and followed our criteria of likes and needs for our family. She only presented home options that she knew would potentially hit the mark for our wish list, which saved us time and allowed us to take our time to find the best fit. We were not in a rush and Erica did not rush us into making any decisions before we were ready. We made a few offers throughout 2024 and Erica always handled all business logistics with care and ease.

When we landed on our final home, Erica leveraged her personal network to do due diligence, took our phone calls and responded to our texts at all times, and made sure we understood every important step in the process. She helped us negotiate our offer and handled all paperwork on our behalf. As first time home buyers, we felt confident following Erica’s lead and had complete transparency and clarity in the home buying, escrow, and closing steps.

We are in love with our first home and neighborhood and would highly recommend Erica to any buyers or sellers in the market. Erica not only is the best agent, but she is also kind and always willing to discuss other personal needs for her clients about LA and other interests like schools, restaurants, things to do etc. We will certainly be working with her again in the future. Thank you Erica for being the absolute best!

Lorin and Erica did a fantastic Job in setting expectations at the beginning from the listing pricing, strategy, what should be fixed and touched up to get multiple offers on the house. That is exactly what happened, and we sold the house for over list price. We have used Lorin now for 3 real estate transactions, and she is such a professional and great communicator. She comes with 5 stars after her name every time.

Lorin has excellent knowledge of her craft and I would recommend Lorin to anyone who wants a smooth sale of their property. She kept me informed of absolutely everything that was going on with my property. Kept me on track an offered great advice but allowed me to make the decisions.

After an intense 90 days in escrow, we are officially the proud owners of our new home! This wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible realtor, Erica Lockhart. Her patience, expertise, persistence, and attention to detail were invaluable throughout both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new one. Erica is more than just an agent—she’s a calming force when things get stressful and an organized, knowledgeable professional who listens and truly understands her clients’ needs. If you’re looking for the best in the business, look no further. We are beyond grateful for everything she did to help us cross the finish line. Thank you, Erica!

Lorin and her team are nothing short of the total package and provided us with the absolute best home-buying experience possible.

The ATOC team provided thoroughly researched options, clear communication, and a vast network of connections within the industry to make things straightforward, efficient, and professional from start to finish.

A huge thank you to the entire team - everyone we worked with was extremely knowledgeable, prompt, and just a pleasure to communicate with, helping us find the home we were looking for!

Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking to buy a home!!

Mr. Brandon Walls was very helpful and attentive to what our family was looking for in a home. He provided useful suggestions about location and price trends to maximize our potential, and is very knowledgeable about different housing markets in Los Angeles. He was responsive to us, being available by phone, email, and text-- day and night. He knows the housing market very well and went above and beyond in advocating for what was in our interests. We bought our home in Lakewood. We highly recommend Mr. Walls for your housing needs.

Lorin Ruttenburg and the entire team ARE AMAZING! I live out of state and I had been going through a challenging time and was trying to sell my parent's home in Mid-City L.A. I interviewed several agents and selected Lorin and Ahead of the Curve Homes as my realtors. Lorin was there for me, with no judgment, just full support. Her suggestions for ensuring the house was presented in the best light were spot-on. She knows the local area. I had previously hired an agent that was not familiar with the area and my completely renovated house just sat there on the market until their contract ended. That was my mistake and a rough one it was. Lesson learned!
Once, I hired Lorin and the team, they got to work, made suggestions, and marketed the house effectively! The house was staged, and listed, and within 1 WEEK of the 1st open house, I had 2 offers full asking price and accepted one. Crazy quick!
If you want an agent who has years of experience, is non-judgmental, knows the market, and has great and timely communication, please select Ahead of The Curve Homes. You will not regret it at all !!!!

We’ve worked with Lorin twice now, and we’ll work with her again and again! Everyone at Ahead of the Curve is very thorough, knowledgeable and above all caring. Lorin was incredibly responsive and helped us negotiate for the best deal possible. We couldn’t be happier!
