Omar Abaza

Omar and his team were instrumental in the sale of my family’s property in Encino. Their strategy and judgment were spot-on from the start. While other agents we interviewed suggested selling “as-is” to developers for around $2.1–$2.2M, The Oppenheim Group team recommended marketing the property to end-users instead. We invested about $50,000 in landscaping, painting, and staging — and though we were hesitant initially, it proved to be a brilliant decision. The property sold for $3M — $650,000 over the asking price. I’m forever grateful to Omar and his team for their expertise, professionalism, and care in stewarding our family’s most valuable asset.

Omar represented my husband and me in our property search for nearly a year! We toured countless homes before finding the one we knew had to be ours — and Omar negotiated it for less than the asking price, even with multiple offers on the table. He expertly handled a difficult escrow with an uncooperative seller’s agent and secured all the concessions we asked for after inspections revealed several issues. Omar was patient, attentive, and easy to work with from day one. By the end, he became not just our trusted real estate advisor, but also a dear friend.

Our property had been sitting on the market without much interest, even though it was a wonderful home in an excellent location. We had it staged, photographed, and listed for $2.1M with another agent but weren’t getting the traction we wanted. After that listing expired, Omar and his team at The Oppenheim Group came in, made key updates to the property — including painting and landscaping — restaged, re-photographed, and re-listed it just under $2M to capture a wider audience. We were in escrow within two weeks and sold over asking at our target price of $2.1M. Omar was professional, communicative, and calm throughout the process. We’re so thankful for his expertise and will be working with him for all of our future real estate needs. We can’t recommend him highly enough.
