This review will be a long one because I truly want people to know how much Josh will do for his…read moreclients. Of all the people we have met during the process of buying a home, Josh is easily the person we are most grateful for. I cannot say enough good things about him. My husband and I are first time homebuyers which means we had a million questions, a million and one concerns and worries, and so Josh got a million and one texts from us. He answered each one realistically with his insane amount of knowledge, kindly and most importantly patiently. Josh went above and beyond in every single process - sending us potential homes based on our wants/needs that were discussed with him in our introductory call, coordinating and attending last minute showings with us all over Orange County, advising us with offer negotiations and gave us tactics that got our offer accepted when we finally found a home we loved, guided us through the entire inspections process, handled our wants for credits/repairs and got us to closing. Josh's involvement in the every step of this process is never bare minimum. He didn't just come to the showings with us, he spends time pointing out things that we may not have known as first time buyers (potential resale issues, deferred maintenance that we'd have to absorb later on, what's important for safety vs cosmetic things that we can change ourselves). He even recommended his preferred lender to us who helped us close in 21 days (formally, but our paperwork and everything was done in 18 days!!). He also arranged and recommended most of our inspectors (we did a total of 8 inspections between general and specialty) who did an amazing job on giving us an idea of what we were walking into. He's there with us the whole time, giving us second opinions on what to actually be worried about vs what is a bit doom and gloom. You can tell he really cares about his work and his clients. My husband & I actually found Josh from his podcast where he posted a extremely detailed step-by-step guide on how to buy a home in California. It was so educational, detailed and easy to understand which is exactly what it's like working with Josh. If you are a first time home buyer (or really any buyer/seller) who wants to work with someone who understands real estate and the market, will have your back, advocate for your wants, has a wonderful network, and is honest and kind and phenomenal at what he does, Josh is your agent.

When we first moved to Yorba Linda, we instantly fell in love with the city. We were already…read morefollowing Josh Alexander for his many local tips and news, so when it came time to search for a bigger house we knew Josh should be the first person we should talk to in helping find our next home while staying in Yorba Linda. In our first conversation, he really listened to what we were looking for, what were our must haves, and what were our compromises. With his advice and insights, he gave us a good idea of what to expect in the current Yorba Linda housing market. We truly felt he was getting to know us as people to help us find a home fit for us. Josh's communication is also excellent, he is professional and also very friendly and personable. He knows exactly when and how often to check-in, catch up, or share updates as we looked at listings. Anytime we had a question, Josh was prompt in responding and thoughtful in his insights. Once we had our sights on a potential home, Josh made sure to give us advice that made us confident in our decision making and that we were comfortable with each step. We never felt rushed or pressured, if anything Josh was very patient with us as we were stressing about making a big decision overall. He gave us our time to think, answer any questions we had, all while making sure we were staying on track with the process. With an offer in, we felt confident that Josh had our best interest in mind and we feel like we got the best value in the negotiation process. There was a lot of back and forth, a lot of paperwork and signatures, but Josh always took the time to explain everything so we fully understood. The home buying process is never easy, but Josh and his team kept everything very organized, communicating when each step was ready and when it needed to be completed by. Going beyond the home buying process, Josh also shared his personal contacts with various local trades for any inspections, repairs, or other work we were looking into either during or after escrow. By the end of it, we truly felt like we got the best value we could have from purchasing the home and are extremely excited to move-in! We're also excited that we'll basically continue to be Josh's neighbors and keep checking on his page for new local tips! Josh Alexander is definitely someone we'll keep in our contacts for future and will fully recommend to anyone we know looking for a home in Yorba Linda.

During the process of looking for a new home (which can be brutal, especially in Southern California in a very competitive market), he was available at all hours (within reason, of course) to answer questions, provide approval letters, and even increase purchase prices when we wanted to bid a little higher than originally planned. When we finally had an offer accepted (below asking, if you must know) and needed to get the mortgage finalized, his preparation for us made it seamless. And now we get to see his fun posts on Facebook! All in all, an unexpectedly easy experience, and Kiki and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and his colleagues (who were available on the rare times Michael was not) to our friends and family. Thanks Michael!

And above all, he was so responsive. I don't think an email, text, or call ever wen more than an hour without receiving a reply. He helped us get our dream home and feel incredible about the financing portion of it. Looking forward to recommending him to call my friends and family in need of financing.

EXPERIENCED MARKETING & NEGOTIATION -- SIMPLY THE BEST…read more If I had to name the best financial decisions I've made on one hand, Richard was responsible for two of them. In looking for an agent, I wanted a realtor certified in meeting the ethical standards of the profession. In addition, the best realtor would give me seasoned advice that saved time. Below are separate experiences I've had with Richard over the last decade where he demonstrated those strengths. BUYING In buying a home, Richard helped me with many aspects, such as preparing my finances as self-employed, handling aspects that reduced my stress, and pushing (by my request) so I wouldn't drag my feet. At the time, I didn't know exactly what kind of home I wanted or how much I should put into one. Richard handpicked homes to show that helped refine my preferences. This led to finding a home I loved, and we made an offer within 24 hours of the listing; however, we were outbid by a cash investor. Richard went to bat for me and negotiated in such a way that my offer won out. I built my life in that home and was always grateful for it. Eventually, its value appreciated higher than my most optimistic estimate. SELLING In selling our home, Richard helped us with: cleaners, staging, photos, pricing, marketing, and negotiating. If your agent isn't doing this for your listing, I would ask if you have the right person in your corner. After reading through so many other listings that didn't explain what was special, had inexplicable photos, or led to deals that fell through, I came to appreciate how great a job Richard did with marketing our listing. He knew exactly what the home "symbolized to a buyer" in the description and hit a home run with the photos. Along the way, Richard kept me updated on housing trends and comps. His advice let us set a price which led to multiple offers over asking. Even though I don't believe in trying to time the market, after it was over, we looked back and couldn't believe how lucky we were in having Richard position us for the highest valuation we could get. Heading into escrow, Richard's negotiating experience came to be indispensible yet again. The RE market during this time was insanity, and as a result, a few potential buyers were behaving irrationally. Richard handled these unexpected stressors with grace and shielded us from having to deal with unpleasantries. At the beginning, my partner was skeptical of all RE agents because of her past experiences. By the end, she completely changed her mind--she said she'd never seen a realtor do all that Richard had done for us. SUMMARY I'm sometimes hesitant to give referrals because my reputation is on the line. But I refer Richard to friends and family whenever I can. Get Richard to represent you, and make one of your best financial decisions.
