MESSAGE: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALEX VARGAS TO EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY TO THE PEOPLE I CARE! Honestly, I don't want this to be a lost opportunity on me, use his service to buy a house. He delivered it all, EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS in all aspects. I and my wife were relocated from another state and new to the area. On top of that we were first time home buyers. Naïve to the home buying process! INITIATION: Thanks to Alex, the first time we met, he effectively walked us through the house buying process and answered all our questions within ~2 hours. He provided us with all the information we need and handout his very helpful brief BOOK on 'home-buying ...' for FREE! Very efficient 2 hours! PROGRESS: He was very patient to listen and understand our needs, and help us in selecting possible locations for what we are looking for. When it comes to touring selected houses, he was flexible to fit our schedule, answer call/text/email promptly, provided his honest opinion about properties/locations, never pressured us to make decisions (NEVER TRIED TO SALE!), .... just layout the facts. EXECUTION: HE GETS IT DONE! He has a list of great strategies to make you stand out from other buyers. You name it underwriter loan approval, initial payment, offer, counter-offer, negotiation, etc. He got the best approaches and went extra-mile to get us the best deal/discount. NETWORK: he has well-established network of people in all areas (other agents, contractors for upgrade/maintenance, sales for appliances, etc.). He helped us a lot to get discounts in every way he could. EFFIECIENCY-EFFECTIVENESS: House searching, tours, offers and get accepted all in ~2-3 weeks. Closing in 21 days. Well, in ~5-6 weeks total, we have a SWEET HOME! I think that is pretty efficient! And the process was flawless on Alex's side. HOW CAN YOU NOT RECOMMEND ALEX? Alex, keep up the great service, helping people like us to find dream homes! Thanks, S&T read more

First time Home Buying can be a very rough experience with many ups and downs. I'm glad we had Alex working with us through the whole process. Alex is very professional and responds to emails within minutes of you hitting send. This is something I can really appreciate because communication is key to any business relationship as well as personal ones. In addition to all this you will find that Alex is very easy to get along with and very knowledgeable about all matters regarding the transaction and information about the potential homes you are looking at in order to get you the best deal possible. He is also very flexible in that he will try to accommodate your schedule. Since both my wife and I commute to the LA area from the OC, we really only had late nights available on the weekdays and he was able to show us a few homes during those hours in addition to the weekends! He will walk you through the entire process as well as answer any questions you may have at any time during the day or even at night! We will definitely reach out to Alex when it comes time for us to upgrade or purchase another property, but for now, we have our dream house that Alex helped us secure. Thank you Alex, we will definitely keep in touch! read more

I highly recommend Alex Vargas to work with anyone who wants assistance with buying or selling their home. Brimming with confidence, knowledge and expertise, Alex sails through marketing, negotiating and multi-tasking his way through the process of working with his client. Alex knows the art of persuasion. Without being pushy, he convincingly explained to me, he had a strategy for selling my condo for a much higher price than I expected. And as one who makes things happen, he set his goals against the odds, when others said "it can't be done", and he did it. What sets Alex apart is his incredible communication skills. He is always there, ready to answer any and all questions, via texting, email or the cell phone. He listens and hears his client. He works with sellers and buyers behind the scenes, skillfully removing a client's stress and frustrations. On numerous occasions, Alex would tell me, "let me take care of that". Alex, during the walkthroughs, you were constantly protective of me. Thank you, Delores read more

One of a kind. This may be a novel, so be prepared to read. From day one, this man gave us his all. Even more than his all if that's even believable. We're a family from Canada with a family member who passed with no will, and my father the only living relative. Now, once that was all day, there was very little that was one with the property before we met Alex. A lovely lady introduced us to Alex via phone and it was by far the best decision we could have made. He quite literally took care of everything while we were away. Always kept us in the loop, and always made sure we were taken care of. Always answered his phone and if he was unavailable he'd send a text saying he'd call back later and he definitely did just that. He's extremely responsive, knowledgeable and an amazing human being. He truly wants to help people and is not in it for the cash grab, that's a guaranteed fact. I would recommend this man to ANYONE needing a realtor. There were absolutely no issues during our time with him. 200% recommend! read more

We choose Alex as our Agent due to the excellent reviews we read about him in this site. Our first contact was made by email as long as we were a family being relocated from other country to SoCal. During the time we worked together in a remote manner we could tell all the reviews were true, we confirmed this when we started working together in person. He is a very dedicated Agent, you can easily tell he loves his job and that alone is a key of success. He is always willing to answer your questions and help you in everything you need while you get used to the city you are looking to live in. In a sentence, he always goes the extra mile. Two values we really appreciate in a person are punctuality and congruence, you will find both on him among other important values. He is an excellent person, we will always be very grateful of what he did for us. read more

I chose Alex due to his specialty in working with homes in probate. I was appointed as the Administrator of my mother's estate and I was very stressed out over the legalities of the whole Probate process. Alex was very patient and always reassuring whenever I was feeling stressed. He was always available and if he couldn't answer my call he always called back promptly. Alex reassured me that the house was going to sell and his goal was to have it sell over asking price. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the buyers in that area. Guess what? He was right, the house sold within a week and received $11,000 over asking price. I couldn't believe it. He stayed in communication with our probate attorney and updated me throughout the process. I am happy that I made the right choice in working with Alex during this difficult emotional time. read more

As a first time home buyer, Alex was extremely patient and made the process easy for me and my family to deal with. Alex was always available to help when we needed it and answered my insane phone calls pretty much all the time. While looking for a place in Orange, Alex was very knowledgeable about the area and always up to date about whatever was available. He was great at working with my schedule to show me different places week after week until we found the one that was absolutely perfect for us. Alex is very patient, very positive, and very willing to work around whatever needs to be done. Alex did everything he could for me, and I could not be happier in my new home !! I would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking to purchase in for the first time or otherwise. read more

I want to thank Alex and his Team for their unequaled support throughout the sale of my brother's condominium. This was a probate sale on a property that required more than the usual realtor involvement and of all the agents interviewed, Alex displayed the professionalism and commitment I sought to represent my brother's estate. Throughout this difficult and emotional process, Alex provided insightful counsel on the market while offering much needed contractor and inspection resources as well as effective sales representation and negotiation skills, all of which were essential for an out of state property owner. I would recommend Alex Vargas to any prospective seller or buyer seeking a strong and qualified realtor who truly has their clients best interests at heart. David V. read more

I have worked with Alex on multiple occasions over the past 8 years, from buying a house, to re-financing, to short selling and he has always given me 5 star service. Alex is incredibly knowledgeable and always takes the time to find the answer to any question I have. He makes it a point to always be available whenever I need him, whether by phone or email, and responds immediately. When working with Alex, it is a NO STRESS process and he never gives up. He takes care of all the details with excellence, allowing his clients to worry about nothing. He is trustworthy and always gets the job done. Alex's services are always affordable and you will find no better agent around. I trust Alex completely and I would refer him to anyone I know. read more

Alex was the best real estate agent I have worked with. I was surprised by how great of an experience I had. The many agents I've worked with in the past left a distasteful feeling that made me skeptical of all real estate agents. I thought agents were generally unreliable, incompetent, and self-serving. Alex definitely changed my perspective. Alex was very friendly, easy going, and patient. I did not feel pressured to make any rash decisions. He made the process very simple. He allowed me to trust him. I was recommended to Alex by a friend who also had a great experience with him. I decided to recommend him to my sister after my own great experience. Thanks for everything. read more

We started thinking about moving some six months ago: we considered a $1.5K renovation and leasing. In the process we interviewed two real estate agents before we met Max. The first agent was non responsive and the second one was full on sales. Max listened & helped us navigate the decision making process without having to spend on renovation. It turned out to be an excellent decision: The house sold within one week & we bought a new one within three. Max was thorough, and excellent at following up before, during and after the sake! read more

We have been so impressed with the knowledge, integrity, and patience of Alex Vargas during the time our home was for sale. Alex was with us every step of the way and was always immediately responsive to our texts, emails and phone calls. Alex was able to get us top dollar for our home and made the entire home selling process very easy. He kept up informed and updated every step of the way. We would highly recommend Alex for all of your real estate needs, either buying a home or selling an existing home. read more

We found Alex on Yelp, and the reviews could not be more accurate! He's the best at Irvine Real Estate, knew exactly what price point we should list our condo, and knew how to handle me so that I didn't take an offer too soon and lose out on a nice payday. I never got the impression that he was just there to collect a check. I am 110% comfortable in recommending you use Alex as your realtor for buying or selling because he is trustworthy, honest, and will treat you well. Highly, highly recommended. read more

Alex is the best! We had work with other realtors, but after they show us a property, they wouldn't follow up, or return calls. He was professional and helped us every step of the way making our move, a breeze. Paperwork was easy and he was always there to help with the move, making sure things were going smoothly. We would be happy to refer Alex and his services to our friends. We are so happy with the new house, and are grateful for all of that Alex did for us! Thanks Alex! read more

Alex was great! We had less than 3 days to make a choice on a place and less than 2 weeks to move into a new home. Alex was able to arrange for same day viewing of a place that we were really interested in and got our applications processed by the next day. We moved in 1 week later. Love the place! He was very professional, agreeable, and available to answer any questions/concerns. Definitely will use him next time and highly recommend him. read more

We engaged with Alex almost 3 years ago when we decided to rent out our condo. As Alex found us a wonderful tenant, we had told him that when we were ready to sell, we would have him represent us. NO REGRETS! Alex was wonderful in keeping us updated on the progress of prepping out condo on the market, but before we even started prepping the condo, he was able to find us a cash buyer who met our sales price and we closed in 11 days. WOW! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Alex Vargas on a hand full of transaction where I referred clients to Alex to represent them on the sale of their homes in CA before they move to AZ. Not only is he amazing at how he cares for my clients his communication and sales strategies are top of the line. If you are looking for and amazing agent the flat out gets the job done while going above and beyond, Alex Vargas is your agent. read more

Alex is one of the most hardworking, honest, and reliable agents I have come across. He is quick to return calls, he puts your mind at ease through the process (which was especially helpful in our short sale situation), and he is so personable. He took care of everything and all we had to do was initial and sign the documents. I hope I can pass on some business to him in the future because he certainly deserves it. read more

Alex sold my condo in Laguna Hills. He was on top of everything from start to finish. He asked me what I was asking and then listed it for $20,000 more. And he got that price in less than three weeks. I can't recommend Alex highly enough. He is an excellent realtor and even more important than that he his a really great guy. He impressed me with his integretity and he backed it up with results. read more
