We met Whit in 2010 when we were buying a house that Whit had listed. We lived in China at that time and we're back in Los Angeles for only one month during the summer. Our agent was not very proactive and Whit stepped in to help us to ensure we closed the sale. He also helped us with a recommendation to a top loan broker. We closed the sale from Shanghai and it would not have been possible if not for Whit's help. We continued to stay in touch with Whit and he represented us when we bought our 2nd home in 2012. Again escrowed closed after we had gone back to China after the summer holidays, Whit handled all the details and made the purchase seamless. Whit then listed the home for rent and within 3 weeks we had a renter in place and the property producing income. We bought our 3rd house with Whit recently and the purchase was complicated and a much higher value than our other purchases. Whit worked with us on a successful negotiation strategy and we closed at our original target price. Between 2012 to 2016, Whit showed us approximately 30 properties and provided us info on 100's of properties that we viewed online. He never pushed us to buy and was happy to provide us information on different areas and markets. Whit understood what our goals were in buying a home for ourselves and as an investment. Whit is the ultimate professional, a fantastic communicator, incredibly knowledgeable, has a sharp business mind and most importantly cares about his clients and strives to meet their needs and goals. My wife and I would highly recommend Whit to our friends, family, and anyone interested in buying a home or investing in real estate. As long as Whit is working in real estate, he will be our trusted advisor.

Whit has helped us with buying and selling and both sides of the process have gone amazingly well. Whit was so good at helping us set a price that would attract buyers and ensure we got the best sales price possible. Both my husband and I were surprised that our house sold at such a high price. Whit worked with us on the staging and overall presentation as well. And he so smartly coordinated the house going on the MLS, the open house, etc. so it really hit the market big. We sold our house with Whit in record time. The other side was buying and we picked a short sale to buy which should have been a nightmare but Whit helped us through every step and explained the entire process to us. That took a while as short sales by their very nature take forever and Whit patiently worked with us and kept in close contact. Lastly, Whit is a very nice person who stays in touch with his clients. We still keep in touch and say hello. I could never imagine going with another agent and recommend Whit to all my friends.

If you want your real estate needs to be handled in a friendly, professional, reliable, and compassionate manner, then Whit Prouty is the one to call!
Whit did a wonderful job representing me (conservator) on behalf of my mother (conservatee) during the sale of her home!
From our initial meeting, I felt very comfortable and at ease as I shared the story of my Mom having dementia and the need to sell her home, of 47 years, to assist with her care. He was very understanding and showed tremendous compassion as we walked through the maze of clutter and disorganization in the home. He was so reassuring and I truly felt that it was going to be okay. it turned out to really be okay!
This experience was the least stressful real estate transaction I've encountered so far. Thank you so much, Whit. so greatly appreciated!
Wishing you Peace, Joy, and Happiness.

If you're looking for an agent who's knowledgeable, professional, and above all, a great dude, Whit is your guy.
He helped us find and eventually get into our dream home, even though we were very specific with what we wanted and then, after months of looking, completely changed the areas we asked him to search for us, we never felt rushed or frustrated. He was understanding and patient. He also helped us find renters for our previous home and assisted us in navigating the whole process.
Whit is honest and direct. We never felt like he was trying to sell us or pressure us into a decision.
Also, he has a list of trustworthy people to call, whatever you may need. Be it a mortgage broker or a plumber.
We could not be happier with Whit as an agent and will continue to recommend him warmly to our friends and family.

From there he helped not only find us a beautiful home, after taking us all over LA since we had no idea what the area was like but helped us with a mortgage lender as Quicken Loans was being an awful partner. His knowledge of the LA area was fantastic and really helped us find a place and area that we love. He is so very personable and just a fantastic agent to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home in the LA area.

We used Whit 10 years ago to buy our first home. Ever since then he has been more than willing to help out with anything house-related that we needed. We recently sold our first house and purchased a new house. Whit exceeded all of our expectations. He adds a personal touch to real estate that I haven't found anywhere else.
