My lovely house
Le A.

We were new to the area and did not have much knowledge about the real estate. We have known Anna through a good friend. At the beginning, we did not have any idea of what property could be a good fit to us. Anna was very patient. She showed us different homes in different communities, including older and newer homes. We slowly built up our knowledge about the communities, schools and houses. After viewing so many homes, we can possibly narrowed down our focus on the new homes. She came to all of our meetings with the builder and design center. We had hard time to understand all the materials of the cabinets, counter tops and flooring, but with her explanation and help, we were able to pick the ones work for us. Now we really love our new house, and we know this won't be possible without Anna's help. We appreciate Anna's great effort to help us, and highly recommend her service to everyone! She gained our trust through her hard work!

After we purchased our primary residence with Anna a couple of years ago in Irvine, we then purchased an investment home in Rancho Santa Margarita. Although we have some experience as Real Estate investors, we were still able to learn something new through Anna, like focusing on numbers not emotions, considering all the factors affecting the returns, comparing different programs with different lenders, maximizing the leverage, and asking the seller to pay for the closing cost. There are so many tools we learned how to use in order to invest in real estate. We learn different things in each new transaction with Anna. With her analysis and advice, we feel very comfortable in every step of the way to reach our goal. Now we have promptly rented out this investment home, and are looking for one more property. It has been a real pleasure working with Anna and learning new things!

Yeah, I am so excited to be able to move into our first dream home! Wahoo!! This wouldn't be possible without Anna's help and guidance! We are first time home buyers and knew nothing about the home purchasing process, so we were a bit nervous. Anna suggested us to write everything down, like our preferred area, our financial goal and budget, and all the concerns we had. By analyzing all of these concerns one by one with her, we were able to narrow down our focus and hunt for the home that best fit us. She also found a great lender with a great rate and a program which is much better than the one we shopped for. Although we had a bit of a hard time due to the seller's HOA's delayed response, we were still able to close this transaction on time. We learned that the home purchasing process needs cooperation from so many different parties. Anna made it all possible with her great communication skills. We really appreciate everything she has done for us, and highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for sell or buy their homes

Me and my wife were looking for our first house back in 2011. Anna was referred to us by my buddy. Ever since, it has been a great experience working with her for the almost 8 years now. When we purchased our first dream home in Tustin and obtained the mortgage loan through Anna, we remember being very nervous and excited at the same time. Mostly nervous about having a mortgage loan thou. Anna was able to break down complicated matters into clear and simple answers. We later had to rent out our home after being relocated to Texas 3 years later and Anna's keen eye helped us to find a very good tenant. And when we had a water leak in the house, she helped guide us in working with the insurance company, the tenants and the contractors. With her help, we didn't even need to fly back to CA! When deciding to sell our Tustin home earlier this year, she once again guided us in choosing a pricing strategy and preparing to put the house together for sale. She is attentive to the market trends and pricing and helped us confidently choose the right buyer. Our experience with her was smooth and pleasant! Now she is not only our realtor, but also a close friend.

Our family was relocated from Ann Arbor, Michigan (Go Blue!) to California where Anna helped us in purchasing our first Californian real estate in Aliso Viejo. We found Anna from one of the Ad she was running for her listing and got to understand the market and process to buy a property in California. Btw, Californian Home Prices is through the roof. I could afford a mansion in Michigan with the prices over here. Anyway, during the transaction, Anna paid great attention to details and pointed out that an addition in the property did not have a permit, she explained to us on the pros and cons, and any limitations or rules that we should be aware of. She was also able to renegotiate a fair price for us. She communicated directly with the lender to get their approval. It was a smooth and pleasant experience! After the closing, she also helped us picked new flooring that made the house look even spacious and cleaner. With Anna's help, we were able to fit into OC life quickly and comfortably. I miss Michigan a lot but the weather over here is so much better!

See all

I've been toying with the idea to buy an investment property in the San Diego area over the next…read more1-2 years (assuming rates go down to affordable levels). While I'm originally from San Diego, I'm unfamiliar with the real estate market other than looking at properties on Zillow. While talking to a childhood friend, she recommended her realtor Erin and gave me her number. It felt too intrusive to call her personal cellphone so I decided to go to her website to learn more about her and ultimately decided to call the general number. Well, guess who answered?! lol Erin. I had to mute the phone shortly after she answered because I was awkwardly giggling to myself like a crazy person. I guess I just figured someone from her team would answer so it's funny I ended up talking to her anyway. We had a nice conversation. While I had many questions, she patiently answered them all. She offered locations to consider in my price range, townhomes and single family homes and places that don't charge an HOA. I thought HOA's were only on condo's, derp. Erin demonstrated to me that she's more interested in the relationship than the transaction and I respect that. We went ahead and scheduled an appointment at her office next week so she can help me with planning.

Selling and buying a home can be very overwhelming, but having to right Realtor can make all the…read moredifference and that is exactly what I experienced with Erin Wade. It was time for my mom to finally downsize to a home which would be more manageable; square footage to yard maintenance; for someone in their 80's. Therefore, I searched Yelp and after viewing the realtors on Yelp, Erin Wade stood out even before I read her reviews. I called Erin and set up a meet and greet with my mom and husband to discuss options for selling and buying a home in the area. From starting to finish, Erin was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, stress-free and successful for my mom who has never had to deal with selling and buying a home for over 30+ years. Erin is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, communication was always clear and timely, and she responded to all texts and/or emails in a timely matter even while out of town for family event. If it just so happened Erin was not available, she assigned someone from her team to cover in her absence. Erin made sure we were kept in the loop on any information about the property my mom was selling and the one she was purchasing. Erin really catered to my mom's needs and to my husband and my expectations during the process. Overall, Erin made us feel we were the only customer even though we know that is not true. We; my mom, husband and I, are grateful to have found Erin Wade and her team to help my mom sell her home and find her forever home. If you are looking for a great, reliable, friendly and knowledgeable Realtor. Erin Wade is that Realtor. I will definitely call Erin Wade when I am in the market to sell my home.

They were completely committed to helping us get the most for our home, achieving more than we ever thought was possible. Having sold multiple homes in the South Bay, we can say without a doubt that we've never had an experience as seamless and supportive as this. They handled every aspect of selling our home in Manhattan Beach and went far beyond expectations; connecting us with incredible contractors, helping with landscaping and staging (they have unbelievable taste!), and checking on the house after we had already moved across the country. They are brilliant, have magnetic personalities, and above all, are truly kind and compassionate people. You are in the absolute best hands with them. We will always be so grateful to Piper and Karen for making our MB sale and cross-country move possible!

We packed all of our stuff and moved to Montana, leaving absolutely everything in the hands of Karen & Piper. They closed our home after the movers finished (we were already in the airport on our way to Montana). They made sure to stage the home to make it look like a million dollars. They have impeccable taste. They got us a huge amount of offers just after two days of our house being listed with all of the offers way above the listing price. It was amazing how they marketed and showed our house. I never thought we could get that much for our property. We honestly just followed all their suggestions because we know how efficient and smart they are. They are not only trustworthy but the most professional real estate agents you are going to find. I wish I could keep working with them in the future, but we aren't planning on buying or selling any more property in Southern California. They genuinely care about performing the absolute best work that they can provide. They are passionate about business and people.

We recently had the opportunity to work with Pam, Darren, and their team on the sale of two homes,…read moreand we could not be happier with the experience and the results. We were referred to Pam and her team by an attorney, and from our very first conversation, they were incredibly helpful and understanding of what was a complicated and emotional situation for our family. When we first met at the Costa Mesa property, there was a great deal to sort through, and we were overwhelmed with everything that needed to be done. Pam and Darren took the time to walk us through the process, answer our questions, and provide practical recommendations, including connecting us with an estate company that could help us deal with the contents of the home. What really stood out was their focus on maximizing the value of the property without recommending unnecessary improvements or expenses. They knew where our money would make a difference and where it would not, and their experience and guidance made the entire process much easier. Their willingness to help went beyond the property they were representing. We were also dealing with a second home in Huntington Beach that had a tenant and some complicated management issues. Even before we had decided to list that property with them, Darren helped us navigate some of the paperwork and provided recommendations when we were having difficulty getting the information we needed. That level of helpfulness and willingness to step in made a lasting impression on us. By the time we were ready to sell the Huntington Beach home, we knew exactly who we wanted to handle it. That property required more work, including repairs involving coordination with a neighbor, but once again, Pam and Darren took care of it. They coordinated the repairs, worked with the people involved, and kept everything moving. We really did not have to do much beyond approving the work. Throughout the sale of both homes, communication was excellent. They kept us informed, explained what was happening, and made sure we understood our options and the reasoning behind their recommendations. Pam is very thorough and makes sure you have all the details, while Darren is extremely engaged and always ready to jump in and help. Together, their different styles worked very well for us, and we always knew they were looking out for our best interests. Both homes sold quickly, and we were very pleased with the results. More importantly, we felt supported throughout what could have been a very stressful process. We are incredibly grateful to Pam, Darren, and their entire team. Their knowledge, responsiveness, willingness to help, and ability to handle all the details gave us tremendous peace of mind.

The team was responsive, patient, and always willing to explain anything that wasn't clear to me. When it came time to sell, Pam and the team were smart, creative, & strategic in how they marketed the property and navigated a challenging market. Pam was able to get my property sold at a time when many other properties weren't selling, and I really appreciated how proactive and thoughtful they were throughout the entire process! 10/10 would recommend!
