A full-service real estate brokerage, management, and investment company
Find out why we are one the top rated property management companies and commercial real estate brokerages in LA.
I have been working with Tiao Properties for some time and had the best experience with the entire team. They took great care of my property and always made themselves available to my many questions.
We have worked with Tiao properties for years now. The entire crew is kind, hard-working, friendly and they get the job done! Will is such a superstar and is wonderful and pleasant to work with. His dedication to his clients and his projects are unparalleled. 10 stars if I could 🙂 highly recommend Tiao Properties!

We used Tiao properties (Will Tiao) as our broker to find our income property which is a four plex in Echo Park. We found Tiao Properties as a referral and we want to spread the word on how wonderful they are! Will diligently pursued all the listings as soon as they came up and advised us on which properties suited our goals and needs. After the purchase, we hired them to do our property management as well. The transition was seamless. Will, his wife, Diana, and Nelle (their assistant) have done a fantastic job with the property management. The change of ownership was a bit rocky at first as the previous owner did not notify the tenants until practically the day before COE of the change in ownership. Nelle jumped right on it and worked with the tenants to explain the new ownership and collected rent from 12 tenants. They are very knowledgeable on the rent control laws and experienced on how to handle tenants. They respond very quickly to us (landlords) and tenants. We are very happy with their professionalism and expertise and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy, sell, or someone in need of property management.




Will and his team were awesome. First off, just an unbelievably nice guy, who made the whole rental process pleasant and seamless. A consummate professional, Will was a great communicator, and always made himself available for questions, etc. Definitely recommend.
I worked with Will and his team to purchase my first apartment building (which they are now managing as well). The process was really great and from the beginning I felt like Will really understood what I was looking for in a property. It wasn't long before we identified a building I loved with the right cash flow and price. As I was on the other side of the country through most of escrow, the team at Tiao Properties managed the inspections and kept me up to speed on what was going on. Overall I've been really happy with their services as a buyer's agent. I'll update when I have a bit more experience with the property management side.

What an AMAZING team to work with and make the stressful process of home purchasing a lot smoother! We are absolutely happy with how knowledgeable the whole team is, very responsive, attentive, and how the team really looked out for our best interest. Many realtors just want to push you to close but they were super patient with us as they really understood our needs and what we were looking for. Definitely recommend Tiao Properties!! Thank you so much for helping us during this long process and really making it a memorable one.


Will and Diana are seriously the best landlords I've had here in LA! I've dealt with some really horrible slumlords in the past and lived in places that were unsafe and not up to code. Will and Diana actually care about you and their properties. They have an online portal which makes maintenance requests and rent payment super convenient. The property manager actually did a real walk through with me before I moved in which made me feel so much more comfortable. They are very quick to respond and are very professional. The rent is a little high, but I feel it's worth it cit the quality of care. I hope to stay here for years to come. I was also not promoted in any way to write this review. I truly recommend renting with them!


Christina Russo made my move into a great loft quick and painless. She is thorough, empathetic, and communicative. Having dealt with many agents in the past, I must say Christina is a refreshing departure from the usual 'used car salesman' antics I've experiences in the past.



In all my experience with property managers, it does not get better than Tiao Properties. They managed an investment property for a mutual client. They were always extremely professional, took full responsibility for overseeing all matters with the property, and all had the best team attitude. I look forward to working with them again. Would recommend them to anyone seeking property management or looking to list. Thank you, Will & Co.!

A couple expecting in three months, two teenagers and a grandpa needed just the right home, fast. With the sale of grandpa's house, the end of the couple's lease and the due date looming, I recommended one realtor from the dozens of top L.A. agents I know–actually a team with high ethics, knowledge of the market and the ability to close win-win deals, even in tough circumstances. Will Tiao, who heads the Tiao Properties team at the collective realty and teaches real estate for novices to advanced students, managed the project…for months. While touring homes, the family kept adding to the wish list. Ken Dennis never ran out of patience or hand sanitizer. Kyra Wasmundt made sure forms were completed properly by multiple parties, online. Diana Tiao and the girls even delivered lunch on moving day. Without the savings from the below-asking offer and credits they negotiated for us, the purchase and repairs might have been impossible. I'd recommend my family use the Tiao team again in a heartbeat, except for one thing. Ken got this family a forever home.
If you are SERIOUS about selling your home (or duplex in our case) and get the best price for it and service, then I wholeheartedly recommend you to contact and sign a contract with Will Tiao and his highly efficient team. Or just get a no-frills consultation from him! We made the mistake of listing with another real estate agent, without doing due diligence, and she sat on our properties wasting a whole year without even bringing one offer–any offer as we told her! Then we found Will (on Yelp!) and we have never looked back. We got the best personal service and several offers and our property was sold at an excellent price and way over what was listed with the previous agent. I was originally skeptical after our bitter experience with the previous agent and was hesitant with Will, but he pleasantly proved me wrong. He also gave us a commission break as he also found the buyer (no third party). Please get moving with Will, who has many potential investors, if you are serious about selling, buying, getting the best service, flexibility and an expert! Mark my word, you will not regret it.
Will Tiao and his team at Tiao Properties are terrific. I purchased a property from a seller they represented and they were professional, responsive, polite and honest — so much so that months later when I was looking for an agent to represent me, I contacted Will. He has now represented me on three different properties and each and every time I have been thrilled with the result. Will is efficient, knowledgeable and hard working. He consistently delivers without ever complaining. If you work with Tiao Properties, you can sleep well at night knowing you're in very capable hands. I strongly recommend them.
Will and his wife Diana manage a property we are partial investors in. They are trustworthy, honest and work hard for their clients. We have referred them to other property owners and will continue to do so. I love their attitude and energy and they have a good instinct for how to work with the market. Will worked on Capitol Hill as a lobbyist for a non profit and he also worked in the Senate and the House as a staffer and frankly, his strength as an agent comes from this experience. He is able to strategize, business plan and manage unexpected challenges with a level head. Pretty amazing in my book.



Will, Diana, Mary Jo and Mario have been a godsend for me. I recently moved internationally, and had planned to have my home sold before we left. I hired one of the best known brokers in Silver Lake (won't name them here!) and was stunned at their total failure to deliver even a single offer on a gorgeous home in a prime Silver Lake location. I fired them and hired Tiao, and immediately felt the difference. Will and his team are pro-active, creative, smart and they treat your property with the kind of care and concern as if it were their own. In addition to taking care of the cleaning, staging, and landscaping, and photography that had to be redone, the Tiao team work quickly and efficiently–all of which is very reassuring. I am now optimistic for a great deal and smooth closing.
We are so thankful to have found Tiao Properties on Yelp and are happy to write this review. Will Tiao did a phenomenal job helping us sell a multi-family apartment building we inherited and had not personally managed. Not having any real estate experience ourselves, the thought of trying to sell a very old building with long-term tenants and low rents was daunting. But Will's in-depth knowledge of our area and the market, and his personal as well as professional experience in dealing with properties such as ours, inspired our confidence. But before we decided to list with Will we wanted to talk with a few other agents and Will graciously encouraged us to do just that. He was never pushy but was always ready to talk with us and offer his help. As a seller I wanted an agent that I felt comfortable working with but also one that I thought would represent us well to potential buyers. Will was personable and professional and demonstrated solid media and marketing skills. Having interviewed other agents we felt that some wanted to list high because they thought that's what we wanted; others wanted to list low because they saw all the downsides of the property. We felt Will's recommended listing price was the most honest and realistic and based on a strategy which resulted in our final sales price being $200,000 over the listing price. We couldn't have been more pleased. During a crazy seller's market, Will handled the onslaught of calls and offers with ease. He was patient and coached us through the process of selling and doing a 1031 exchange. Will worked diligently to keep the sale moving forward smoothly despite some unexpected glitches. Will has a ready laugh that kept things light when I started to get stressed. Will was definitely a godsend and we highly recommend him and Tiao Properties.
I interviewed so many realtors before finally deciding on Will and Ken to help me with my purchase of my first multi family property. I chose them because they seemed the most experienced in the space, and I liked that they also had a property management company in case I ever needed those services in the future. Ken was my main point of contact throughout the buying process and it was a great experience. My favorite parts about working with this team were: 1. They truly work in your best interest. Some other agents may push you to close on a deal purely because it will get them paid faster. Ken was absolutely not like that. He was not afraid to say "I don't recommend moving forward with this deal." He wanted to make sure you felt comfortable in your decision and felt good about moving forward. Even after we entered escrow, he made sure to check in with me that I am still feeling good about the transaction, and reiterated that we can cancel escrow if we needed to. We ended up cancelling escrow on a property where we found major issues, and Ken was very supportive throughout the whole process. 2. They really know their stuff. If you are looking for a team that knows all of the little nuances about buying multi family and property management in LA, this is the team for you. There were so many small details, like rent freezes, permits, inspections, etc. that I would have never known if not for this team. Even though I was working with Ken and Will on the real estate side, Diana on the property management side went out of her way to answer my questions about property management. They are some of the most knowledgeable people in the space, especially for the LA market. 3. They are well connected. The property I ended up purchasing was an off-market deal brought to me by their team. This helped because there was no competition for the offer, and it expedited a lot of the process. Especially in this competitive market, off market deals are where you can still find a lot of value, so you need a well-connected agent. This team is that and more. In addition, because of their property management business, they are very well connected to plumbers, handymen, contractors. inspectors, etc. I will definitely continue to lean on them as I manage my first property. The three points above were the highlights of my experience, but overall it was such a pleasant experience working with them. The cherry on top was they even sent me a gift basket and Lowe's gift card after I closed! Small detail, but was a great end cap to a long buying process. I'm very happy with my decision and will continue to work with them for future purchases.
Will and his team assisted me in acquiring a four unit rental property. They were great to work with and on top of things every step of the way. Will is extremely knowledgeable on investment properties – having him as a partner while navigating the complex acquisition and due diligence process was invaluable. Highly recommend reaching out to them if you're looking to acquire investment property in LA.
