“During that period, in which he oversaw all the logistics, payments and details of our Miami apartment renovation and redecoration, and the much more difficult Mykonos project, we were freed from the day to day worries that accompany a life on two continents, among multiple homes, with a dozen bank accounts, and as many staff. Fred was a treasure, an excellent steward of resources and an extremely competent problem solver, regardless of his prior familiarity with the subject or challenge.”

“In the wake of my partner’s untimely decease, while I was overwhelmed with personal grief and public obligations, it became necessary to downsize from the three homes that Andy and I owned and the lifestyle we enjoyed. Knowing I could trust him implicitly and relying on his capacity to handle complex projects and challenges, I hired Fred to manage the sale and distribution of art, furniture and objects from our Hollywood home and to perform many of the responsibilities that devolved upon myself. Andy had many beautiful things and so many friends who sought mementos. It was a demanding and political assignment, but Fred performed it with great subtlety, sensitivity and finesse. “

“…when I was selling my Laguna beach-house and my Hollywood Hills Villa, I hired Fred to provide logistical, physical and, frankly, emotional support. He not only saw me through a difficult and demanding time, but reduced the dread involved in ‘right-sizing’ my lifestyle. After I grew tired of renting, Fred helped me select, move-in, install and redecorate my current home, also in Laguna, which was the cover property of the 2014 Laguna Charm Tour."

“In December of 2012, I inherited my mother’s Bel Air Home and all the art, furniture, jewelry, silver, decorative objects, carpets, clothes, furs and mementos that she had collected. As an only child, I wasn’t prepared to sort through and make decisions about my mother’s belonging; as a busy surgeon, I didn’t have the time or expertise to assess her collections or properly value them ….
After 6 months of making less progress than desired, and with an eye to opportunity cost of leaving my mother’s home un-rented, I mentioned my situation to a lawyer friend who recommended I meet with Fred.
As I said to my wife during the process and upon its completion, it was the best money we spent during this protracted, emotionally exhausting and logistically challenging experience. Fred thoughtfully, painstakingly and respectfully managed the distribution of my mother and my father’s cherished belongings, and brought us through a difficult period.”

“When my 20+ person digital marketing company outgrew our Pasadena offices, my partner and I needed someone to manage our relocation. We hired Fred Greene to ensure a smooth transition. He met with us and our employees, learning our needs and culture. Then, he helped us to find the perfect space, negotiate the lease and coordinate wiring, new phone systems & buildout, before personally superintending the physical move. Within a month, we powered down one Friday afternoon and the following Monday morning we were up and running in a bright, spacious new office, with no interruptions to our work and my staff installed in new and spacious work-stations. We couldn’t have been more pleased with Fred’s execution of this critical and complicated project.”

“As a real estate agent, I occasionally represent properties in probate. I recently listed such a property in Bel Air whose delivery to the market was handled by Greene & Crowe. I was a firsthand witness to the professionalism, expertise and care they displayed in preparing a house that had been owner-occupied for nearly five decades. The home of a collector, the premises were stocked with valuable possessions and personal effects, whose inventory and distribution among family members and auction houses took the better part of a year. Greene & Crowe coordinated the legal, financial, physical and personal demands of real and movable property in providing a service that honored the wishes of the deceased, respected to the needs of the inheritors and maximized the value of the estate. Too often, I’ve seen relationships strained, time wasted and value lost during such times. For those navigating similarly demanding and important transitions, I am pleased to recommend Greene & Crowe to your attention.”
