"My hands-on style, strong work ethic, and focus on communication and negotiation have allowed me to consistently rank among the top agents in my office for more than a decade."
Tina Smith—Real Estate Advisor DRE# 01397596
Tina Smith is a Residential & Commercial Realtor, ranging from multimillion-dollar Estate properties to first-home purchases to office and multi-residential apartment buildings. Being a California Native, one of Tina's greatest assets is her comprehensive knowledge of all the best neighborhoods and their offerings, from the San Fernando Valley to the Westside.
Tina has been a Realtor since 2003 and currently resides in Toluca Lake with her husband David and several rescue animals, where they purchased a home and became actively involved with the community in 2006. Her love of the area was due to many factors, but primarily the beauty of the older classic architecture from the 1920s that is becoming more challenging to find in the San Fernando Valley.
Tina's hands-on approach, determination, strong work ethic, accessibility and exceptional communication, problem-solving and negotiation skills together have made her a top producer in her field, consistently ranking within the top 10 agents in her office since 2009. Additionally, in 2012, Tina received the prestigious title of Estate Director, for selling multiple properties over $3,000,000 within a three-year period, being the only female in her office to receive this honor.
Tina's schooling was all in the local area—Walter Reed Jr. High, North Hollywood High, and she graduated from Woodbury University in Burbank with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1996. Tina's local ties to the area have proven to be one of the key components to her success, as she has amazing business contacts and a sizable sphere of contacts that she has built throughout the years and stayed in close contact with.
Tina's patience, knowledge and expertise in her field has amassed an overwhelming base of devoted clients as well as a substantial referral network upon which she has built her business, particularly in the entertainment industry. She effortlessly guides her clients through the escrow process with finesse and the understanding that buying or selling a home is usually a person's largest lifetime investment. While this can be a serious and stressful time for buyers and sellers, Tina's clients have often commented on how fun process was due to how relaxed she made them feel with her down-to-earth personality and great sense of humor.
Tina also physically and monetarily helps various charities, specifically cancer research and animal-related charities and rescues. At the close of every transaction, Tina rescues at least one animal through S.T.A.R.T. which is pulled from a California shelter and transported to a safe haven in Oregon, where it resides until a permanent loving home is found. Saving a life that cannot save its own is her passion!

"I've known Tina Smith for over 10 years. She has sold me three properties. Two in Toluca Lake and one in Studio City, including one off market. I have referred her many many times to many many friends,
business managers and others in and out of the entertainment industry. As a long time Toluca Lake resident and Los Angeles native, she is an absolute expert in the San Fernando Valley.
She has a great list of trusted contacts and contractors. Aside from being brilliant at what she does, she is completely trustworthy, honest, sweet, fun, and tough as nails.
In addition, she has just the right amount of no nonsense, razor sharp street smarts to negotiate an amazing deal with her client's best interests in mind. When you work with Tina,
you are dealing directly with her, not unlicensed assistants who don't yet possess the real estate knowledge necessary for great client service. She is accessible 24/7,
she has excellent communication skills, and she works tirelessly on her client's behalf to make sure every transaction is easy and stress-free."

"Tina is the most thorough, responsive, thoughtful, kind and patient real estate agent and person we could have ever dreamed of working with on the purchase of our first home.
My husband and I were very new to this process and Tina fielded endless questions from us and I swear we never waited any time at all to get answers. To this day,
I still email her with lots of questions and she gets back to me right away with thorough answers. Tina was referred to us by a close friend,
but as we started telling other friends about our house search, there were five other people who told us about their amazing agent and it was always Tina!!
If we ever decide to purchase another home, I am looking forward to starting up that process again with Tina."
—Laurel Coppock and Bobby Mort
"It's a pleasure to take this opportunity to talk about our experience with Tina Smith. Tina is so pleasant, so knowledgeable and so very patient.
Tina was very generous with her time and her knowledge both on and off the clock. She answered endless questions for us. Took constant phone calls from us.
And re-answered the same questions we had asked before. Did I say Tina was patient?!? We had a location we wanted to stay in,
definite wants and needs we wanted to be reached and an amount of money that was not very negotiable. Tina stuck with us. Tina stayed with us. Tina taught us.
Tina reassured us. Again and again. Tina Was there 100% for us and with us in every way. The end result for us was a home in the neighborhood,
in the price range with our wants and needs met. Michael and I could not be any happier with one person than we are with Tina Smith.
Do not believe for a moment that we would be where we are today emotionally and or physically without Tina Smith. Thank you Tina for everything!!! You are the best!!!"
—Laura & Michael D., Homebuyers, Burbank, California
"Tina Smith is the best realtor in all of Los Angeles. We were referred to her by a friend, who was referred by another friend, and another friend, and so on.
So we knew she had an excellent reputation as we began our home buying process. But she exceeded our already high expectations. Tina is thorough, patient and incredibly generous.
She also has a very sharp eye for what makes a good investment. She's got the killer real estate instincts of a shark and the demeanor of a kitten. It's a pretty amazing combo.
My husband and I were first-time home buyers and she walked us through every single detail of the overwhelming process.
She quickly answered our panicked emails at all hours of the day and night - and always was very thorough in her responses.
I'm sure we must have irritated the heck out of her with all our questions, but she NEVER ONCE hinted that we were annoying.
It was impressive as hell - i mean, we annoyed ourselves with all our questions. She also has a million connections to any and everyone you might need from inspectors to plumbers to contractors.
Tina is a gem of a person and simply the best realtor we've ever encountered. Do yourself a favor and make the home buying process a fun one with Tina."
—Megan Grano and Michael Canale
"As a first time home buyer I had many questions about the home buying process and about the different neighborhoods within the LA Valley.
Tina not only took time to answer my many, many questions, but she drove us to every possible home from the west to far north end of the Valley that fit our must have list.
Even after weeks of being disappointed by homes that turned out to not quite be our dream home, she remained positive that we would find it soon and not to give up hope.
Well she was right! She soon found a wonderful house that wasn't on the market yet, but had a preview that afternoon and so met me there within 30mins.
Tina immediately went to work on negotiating with the listing agent since several people were also very interested.
Tina ultimately made an impression and by the end of the week they choose our offer out of many others. She assisted me step by step with all the detailed home buying paperwork,
inspection and before we knew it we had the keys! Thank you Tina for your patience and dedication."
—Lynne & Mike, Happy in Granada Hills
"Being a first time home buyer was both exciting, and a little scary too. That's why it was so nice having Tina Smith as our realtor. She made the process fun,
and she helped us understand all the in's and outs of buying our first home. When we first met Tina she really listened to what we were looking for in a home.
Every time we went out with her, she knew exactly what was right for us. Once we found our dream home, and I will never forget that day :) Tina directed us on exactly what to do.
She wasted no time. As the process began, Tina shared in the excitement with us, and helped to calm our nerves. Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions we have made in our life.
Tina is absolutely wonderful, and will continue to refer her to as many people as we can."
—Proud Home Owners, Wayne and Stacy Silva
"We've been in our home for 4 years now and Tina is still there for us whenever we need her.
We were first time homebuyers and she guided us toward a house and neighborhood we love and walked us through the process so we felt informed and protected every step of the way.
She clearly loves what she does and she's great at it. When it's time to move again Tina will be my first phone call!"
—Lindsey and Paul Vaillancourt
"Tina was the best! She never stopped working on my behalf, even when things got complicated. Her strong work ethic and positive attitude kept my home buying process smooth and painless.
I highly recommend her to all my friends!"
—John Latimer
"If you are looking to buy a house, I cannot recommend Tina Smith highly enough. She is the VERY BEST in her field. I was warned of how tough buying a house is, and what a grueling experience it is.
Then I met Tina and had the easiest, most stress-free and FUN experience. Tina is so knowledgeable and plugged in to every aspect of the housing market.
She was available 24/7 to answer any and all questions I had. I'm a worrier and have tons of questions from ridiculous to relevant. She answered every single one promptly with a thorough, honest answer.
She gave great guidance without being pushy. She works in a way that lets you be in control,while having the best advisor and advocate on your side. She helped me get my dream house in a very tough market.
She didn't stop there though. She set me up with a great mortgage broker. She set me up with a great floor guy who did excellent work. She set me up with a great inspector and plumber.
She has a great network of people that she gives you access to. To this day, I still contact her with questions and she continues to help me as if we were still house hunting.
I feel so lucky to have worked with her and will always wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants a wonderful, safe and secure experience buying a house.
Oh and while I only had experience BUYING a house with her, if I ever sell you better believe she'll be my selling agent."
