    Best experience I have EVER had working with any real estate agent or Realtor!!…read more I've bought/sold two homes in the past working with at least 3 Realtors through the process and Liz and her team delivered the best experience BY FAR! My wife and I worked with Liz on the purchase of our new dream house in Orange County. From the start she was going above and beyond what we were expecting. We called rather suddenly when a property showed up on the market and scheduled to go see it with her. We weren't seriously looking before this. By the time we got to the property she and her team already had a good understanding of the history of the listing and were working comps real time to give us a clear understanding of what fair market value would be. Even adjusting it for what we were seeing in person at the property. We weren't certain if it was more of a buyer's market or a seller's market as it had been a seller's market for so long, but she explained the current conditions/trends of what she was seeing in the area and gave us EXCELLENT advice every step of the way. But she was also never pushy. She ultimately left it up to us to make the decision with the information she provided. We trusted her expertise and it absolutely paid off, literally. We got a deal on the property that we are very happy with. She offered great advice on everything from prices, timing, and even when to potentially walk away. Liz has a team of people that really seem to communicate as a team, not just a group of individuals working under the same company name. In passing conversations Liz talked about how she and her team work together, and it does seem like they get to share in each others expertise and experiences to develop a good understanding of the market. Liz also talked about what she does to train her team, and she seems like a great leader. No one looks left behind to fend for themselves, and it seems very structured so that everyone has support and training to deliver great customer service. Liz has a great reputation in the area which I think was a huge benefit in our case. The seller's Realtor already knew Liz and trusted her. We happened to meet the seller's Realtor, and even without Liz present, the seller's Realtor had nothing but great things to say about their interactions. Her expertise really does seem to be in demand as she seemed to be giving seminars or talks to audiences even outside of her team. Even with her busy schedule it never really impacted the scheduling of events at our home. She always still met us at the property for events like home inspections, walk throughs, and giving us the keys to the property. She always provided great communication and was very responsive whether it was through e-mail, calls or texts to help answer questions. I can be "particular" (picky) about some things and whenever I brought up a question or concern, no matter how small, she never dismissed it or tried to excuse it as something I didn't need to worry about. She took my concerns seriously and got them addressed. Out of everything, I think this is what I am most grateful for as it kept me comfortable working with her and I never felt like she was just trying to "close a deal", which was my preconceived notion of Realtors unfortunately. She really does seem to care for her clients and making sure they are happy. I would 100% work with Liz again!

    Long story short: John's the man…read more Short story long? As with all first-time home buyers, the experience is overwhelming. From understanding your own finances to navigating the real estate market and endless terminology, it's easy to become paralyzed and lost in the storm. This is where John comes in; he is the lighthouse guiding you safely back to harbor. John has deep industry experience. He understands the market, what's out there, and exactly how the process works. Most importantly, he listens. He truly understands your situation and has your best interests at heart. John remembers your goals and what you said would make you happy, using that as a compass for every decision. At times when we couldn't find the right fit and I started to deviate, he would remind me of my original vision to ensure I didn't settle. I'm going to say it twice: he truly has your best interests at heart. I have a tendency to push my limits, and John wasn't afraid to step in and advise me when something might overburden my finances. He isn't just trying to close a deal and meet numbers; he cares about your future. He is incredibly patient. There was definitely a learning curve for me, but John understands that everyone learns differently. He took the time to rephrase complex concepts and provided examples to ensure I fully understood every step. He never made me feel "dumb" for asking questions; you can tell he genuinely cares through his tone and approach. John is also remarkably responsive. Whenever I found a listing with high potential and forwarded it to him late in the day, he would acknowledge and respond promptly. Even when I felt bad for reaching out late, he provided peace of mind by doing his homework immediately. We were often at the property the very next day. He acts fast and efficiently. Finally, he is solution-oriented. There were many times I thought a goal was out of reach, but he would do the research and return with a Plan A, B, and C. This gave me so much hope and reassurance throughout the process. The home search is a roller coaster of emotions, but John is there with you side-by-side from start to finish. You never feel alone, and you never feel doubt with John in your corner. "Looking back at where I started, I am forever grateful for John. He turned what felt like an impossible mountain to climb into a clear path forward. Through his hard work and dedication, I am a proud homeowner in a place I truly love, and I couldn't have done it without him." If you want more than just an agent--if you want an advocate--John is the one to call." Thank you for everything.

    I've been a tenant in one of AllView's properties for around three years, and the property managers…read moreand landlords, Mark & Andy, and Michelle & Marshall, have been wonderful. Their response times to maintenance requests and overall customer service have always been excellent. After several stable years, we recently experienced a number of condo issues following the rainy season. Every issue was handled compassionately and as promptly as possible. After submitting multiple maintenance requests (right before the end of business hours), we were contacted the same day and again the following day to schedule repairs. Since then, they've arranged for construction workers to repair a leak in the staircase ceiling, ant control services, a termite inspection for worn wood in our garage, and are currently scheduling the replacement of an outdated dishwasher with a brand-new one. Not only that, but every contractor they've sent for repairs in our condo have been very considerate and professional. When working on our roof, the crew explained the whole process beforehand, sealed off our entire staircase, and answered questions even on their breaks (not to mention they were understanding and warm towards my very confused ESA dog). The ant/pest control worker shared he's personally sprayed the landlord's home in the past, which gave me great peace of mind knowing that AllView only hires people they trust to work on the properties they themselves habituate. The termite inspection was quick and efficient. I appreciated the worker's professionalism as I noticed he immediately covered his shoes with plastic before entering to avoid tracking in mud or chemicals, which was thorough and kind of him. The two property managers who have stood out most during my time here, Andy and Mark, have always maintained clear and consistent communication regarding concerns, scheduling, and next steps, especially now as we move forward with termite treatment in the garage and the dishwasher replacement. I'd also like to add for any prospective renters: although our unit is under rent control, the landlords have always chosen minimal increases rather than the maximum allowed at lease renewal. In other words, these are genuinely good people. If you respect and take care of their property, they will absolutely take care of you.

    This is not for WORKING PROFESSIONALS!! You will be…read moremiserable in their properties. NOT SAFE, NOT PROFESSIONAL, AND NOT WORTH THE RISK I truly tried everything to resolve the issues I experienced with this property, but the management company refused to take responsibility for extremely serious safety problems. From the first day, my apartment had plumbing issues and a strong odor. I emailed repeatedly, but no one ever came to inspect. eventually contacted the gas company, and they found an active gas leak coming from the stove--a stove owned and maintained by the complex. I had been unknowingly exposed for weeks. The storage area directly beneath my anartmant apartment was packed floor-to-ceiling with hazardous chemicals, paint buckets, clutter, and materials, which only worsened the smell. Even with photos and written complaints, management did nothing. (Attached pictures) Despite the uninhabitable conditions and their negligence, they kept my deposit and even sent me to collections. I filed a BBB complaint and attempted to work out a solution multiple times, but they refused to act responsibly. I'm now considering small claims court for personal injury related to the prolonged gas exposure. I also want the property owners, Linda and James Reitch, to know how poorly their management company is representing and maintaining their property. I will be forwarding all documentation to their Trustee through proper channels. To make matters worse, the application process was extremely intrusive. I have a high credit score and a stable job, yet they demanded a very high deposit AND required third-party access to my bank account. With such strict requirements before move-in, l expected much better safety, maintenance, and professionalism afterward. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend living in any property managed by this company" Daniel, I am responding with documented facts and dates. I moved in the first week of August. From the start, the bathtub had issues that worsened quickly and became unusable. I submitted a formal work order on August 30, only weeks after moving in. On September 13, I emailed and submitted a work order reporting persistent fumes/odors in the unit. No one was sent to inspect. After continued inaction, I contacted SoCalGas myself on September 25 because the odor persisted. They confirmed and repaired an active gas leak from the stove, which is owned and maintained by the property. While it was fixed the same day once SoCalGas was involved, this occurred only because I escalated it after management failed to respond. Had I not done so, I would have continued to be exposed. I was also charged for a bathroom screen that was missing at move-in. I have the original email and ticket number requesting installation. The ticket was closed without the screen ever being installed, yet your BBB response incorrectly states I owed for it. I raised safety concerns about the garage beneath my unit being used for non-residential purposes. After reporting this, tenants were informed of my complaint, which led to hostility and caused me to feel unsafe. I did not leave "simply to break a lease." I vacated due to unresolved habitability and safety issues after repeated attempts to resolve them in good faith. All of this is documented through emails, work orders, third-party findings, and video evidence. I stand by my review.

We had to amicably part ways with our prior property manager after our unit was vacant for 4 months and we were so glad to come upon Marshall Reddick. I'll cut to the chase - they rented out our property in 6 days at a standard market rate with a dream tenant. If you want to learn some more details that may be helpful to you... We had an intake interview with Chris Carlson who answered all of our questions accurately and honestly. Everything that he shared with us about their management style, good and different, was accurate. Our property manager is Oscar Muratalla and he is wonderful and a trustworthy communicator. Their work is great. Their onboarding process is standardized and thorough. It seems from my end that they respond to tenant requests promptly. Their vendors are industry standard and reasonably priced. I would recommend MR to any landlord who is looking for a straightforward and practical property management group to work with.

My experience with Cameron was great until it wasn't. He went completely ghost and did not put in the contract with the sellers that they could take the pots in my front porch. They were there the day before for the walk-through. Cameron mentioned the sellers would be taking some plants,(he should have put that in the contract if the sellers wanted to keep) come to my surprise the day I get the keys. The two front plants are completely gone! Completely unacceptable also during the inspection as well many things were missed, and Cameron and his team recommended this person.. This is from my personal experience

His dedication, expertise, and genuine care transformed what could have been a stressful experience into a seamless and incredibly positive journey. Jared went above and beyond in every aspect of the home selling process. His deep knowledge of the market and keen attention to detail ensured that I was always informed and confident in my decisions. He was not only a skilled negotiator but also a compassionate guide, taking the time to understand my needs and preferences fully; especially with deciding how much work to put into the home to prep the house for sale and maximize our investment. What truly sets Jared apart is his unwavering commitment to his clients. He was available around the clock which was amazingly helpful being three time-zones away. He was always quick to answer questions or provide reassurance, no matter how big or small the issue. He provided insightful advice, and even offered support beyond the typical realtor duties, including recommendations for local services and contractors - and checking on their work! Jared's personal touch and dedication made all the difference. His passion for his work is evident in everything he does. Thanks to his efforts, we exceeded our personal goals with the sale of our property. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

He is an extremely nice individual that will legitimately listen to your concerns and address them immediately. I'm still in complete shock that we are living in our dream home. I never thought this day would come to be. He's the best of the best. You would be crazy not to list your HB home through him.

So, when we decided to purchase a second home in Newport Beach, we thought they would be a good choice. We found a home we wanted to see, and Sean sent one of his agents whom we had not met yet to do the showing. That's when we met Ryan Tarr. That first house wasn't for us, but Ryan was dedicated to finding us the perfect home within our budget. We weren't exactly sure where on the peninsula we wanted to be, so he helped us narrow down our search by spending a day with us driving through it and pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of all the different areas. Once we decided on an area, he was on it! It seemed like he never slept and treated us like we were his only clients. He worked hard showing us many properties. We don't live in the area, and he often went to new listings and walked the property while we were on facetime so we could decide if we wanted to fly down to get a real look. A couple months in of looking and unaccepted offers it seemed like nothing was coming on the market and we were feeling a bit discouraged. Then I got a text message from Ryan with a picture of a stack of addressed envelopes. He was mailing all the owners in the area of our interest! (see attached photo) A few weeks later there was a response to his letter, then more houses started coming on the market. He went above and beyond, and I believe got things stirred up in the market. Even though it took us 6 months to find what we were looking for; the wait was worth it as I am confident, we found the perfect family vacation home that will be in our family for years to come. As an extra bonus our family has a new friend and go to real estate agent in Ryan.

He asked us questions and cared about following through with them. If you are looking to get top dollar for your house especially in The Summerlane community in Huntington Beach look no further! He also did a great job following through with the other agent and communicating back and forth throughout the process. Selling a house can be complicated but David really made the process as easy as possible! We highly recommend David! Thank you again!
