John Bathurst Group | Compass

"We highly recommend Compass | John Bathurst Group. John’s knowledge of the beach cities, the professionalism of his staff and his contacts outside of California proved invaluable. John was an amazing advocate for us through the entire process of renovating and selling our home. John not only made sure we were involved in all aspects but took great care to ensure we fully understood the process and contractual obligations along the way. He also gave us an amazing recommendation for a realtor in our new state. We are very grateful for the time he took to make sure we were happy with the sale of our Redondo Beach home and also the purchase of our next home."

"John Bathurst and his team at Compass gave us the best realtor experience we've had by far. He came highly recommended and exceeded our expectations. John's local knowledge of the South Bay and Hawthorne are unmatched. We ended up purchasing in Hawthorne / Del Aire and couldn't be happier. John's expertise and incredible intuition were key to us working through a very fast closing process that included multiple bids and required a few additional expert inspections. John has an incredible team that walked us through the contracting process so that we understood everything well before making the offer. We felt properly represented throughout the process -- John is an incredible advocate and true professional advisor. He was always available and quick to respond. John went beyond our expectations and helped us organize contractors and execute a few home project before we moved in. Even today, I know I can count on John for a quick local recommendation for anything related to our home. I'd strongly recommend the John Bathurst Group at Compass to anyone looking for a local agent to help purchase or sell a home in the South Bay and surrounding areas."

"John wasn’t just our real estate agent, he was a true partner and friend in our home-buying journey. John made the whole buying process no pressure and stress-free. We were new to the area and weren’t even sure what neighborhood we wanted to seriously look at. John took the time to understand our needs, preferences and budget. Because of his market knowledge, John showed us great options in multiple locations efficiently so we were able to narrow down to one location after just a few days of looking at homes. John was candid about every home we looked at and his honest assessment, while taking into account what our needs were, was invaluable. His experience really was apparent when we were in a multiple offer situation and he gave advice that resulted in our offer being accepted immediately even over other offers with a higher purchase price. But, John’s professionalism and dedication to us did not stop there. He walked us through the escrow and closing process every step of the way and negotiated every point on our behalf. Even after we closed and moved in, he continued working for us, helping us with last minute issues. John responded to us right away at all times and promptly answered all of our questions. On top of all of that, John is a super nice and genuine person who has his clients’ best interests top of mind at all times."

"I really didn't know what it meant to have an incredible agent until we worked with John. We met and were working with another friend yet still John patiently followed up and checked in. He persevered tirelessly and it became clear he was THE MAN. John is not pushy (which i love). He is direct (zero BS), and you absolutely feel how others respect him. He knows people, details, the market, how to communicate, neighborhoods, and most importantly, he knew exactly how to massage a deal so you get what you want! We probably drove him nuts, yet he never showed it:) Aside from being a great guy to spend time doing this with, his professionalism, knowledge and communication skills are absolutely superior. WE LOVE JOHN!"

"I've had the pleasure of knowing John for a few years now and he is truly one of the hardest working people I know. His dedication to his career is outstanding and he always puts his clients first. I had the opportunity to visit him in his hometown of Manhattan Beach and I was blown away at the local knowledge he had in his community. You can tell from the get go that he knows his community in and out and I can only imagine the resource that he provides to his clientele when they're looking in his area. He's very active in the real estate community and contributes to helping others and it's been a true pleasure knowing him. If you're looking for a realtor in the Manhattan Beach area, John is your guy!"
