He provided me so much help and guidance the whole way! I could not have done this without all his help.

From the very first moment I reached out to The File Group, they set themselves apart--answering my call immediately and following up quickly through email and text. I had the pleasure of working with Halle Wunsch, and she was an absolute standout. Within just one hour of my initial call, she was already meeting me at the property I was interested in. Throughout the entire process--whether it was waiting on the seller's review of my offer or while she was handling other showings for the same property--Halle never left me without an update. Her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care made the experience seamless. I highly recommend Halle Wunsch of The File Group for any real estate needs anywhere in California. She truly takes the headaches out of the process. Thank you for your help, Halle!

Jon actually lives here in Arch Beach Heights, so he really understands the neighborhood. He knew how to market the house and got us multiple offers, including one at full price. He guided me through everything, from pricing and staging to marketing and timing the listing. I truly felt supported every step of the way. I absolutely recommend Jon and The File Group to anyone thinking about selling in Laguna Beach or anywhere in Coastal Orange County.

Love Aaron and his team. He is the most professional Realtor I've ever met. It was happenstance…read morethat we met, was walking by a unit that I liked and saw his name and number and called him randomly, that was 2 years ago. During that time my husband and I met with him several times and he was so very kind and listened to our needs but we never had the guts to "pull the trigger" and sell our property. What impressed me about him was his calm demeanor, professional appearance and attention to detail. He knew all the real estate laws and tax information and he also has great knowledge about Orange County in general. Fast forward to two days ago and our property is SOLD! He was extremely patient and kind and so accommodating - any questions we had he responded and made us feel like we were smart to sell and really put in the effort to ease our minds in the entire transaction. If you are considering selling or purchasing - Aaron is your guy!!! I wish this review could rate 100 stars because we are completely satisfied and content with our experience!!

As our first home buying experience, we had a lot of questions along the way. Jon patiently responded to all of them. And after our 7th or so rejected offer, I'm sure there are other agents who might have suggested waiving important contingencies just to get us to close. Jon never pushed us to make any uncomfortable decisions and definitely looked out for our best interests. He gave us thoughtful and knowledgeable advice, and we trusted him wholeheartedly. Even all of the people that Jon recommended, from loan officers to home inspectors, have been so honest, easy, and professional to work with. We would 100% recommend Jon to any of our family members or friends.

I have bought three (3) homes from Mark Thoburn and have worked with him as my only realtor since…read more2003. If I was just reviewing Mark on my home purchases, I would give him a full five stars, but that isn't the only aspect of me and my wife's relationship with Mark. First of all Mark is a great human being who is more interested in making sure you are achieving your life goals than simply making a commission. He always answers his phone, and in the rare case it goes to voicemail, he returns the call same day. Mark is patient and not pushy; we lived in our second home for 14 years before we were ready to upgrade. Mark was always there for us, ready when we were. He is ever ready with helpful advice that doesn't always pertain to home selling or purchasing. His salesmanship skills are second to none; we sold our second home through Mark so that we could buy our third home, and we listened to his advice. The home sold in 48 hours, while our neighbors houses are STILL for sale. Each of our homes was a stretch for us because of many different factors. Mark got this, and also got the fact that not everyone has a perfect home buying financial profile. Last but not least is Mark's wife Theresa who does all of the purchase paperwork and helps Mark put the deals together. 100% correct documentation that is delivered fast. What more could you ask for. Mark Thoburn is not only an excellent realtor, he is now a lifelong friend and I would never, ever buy or sell anything without him. Would give him 10 stars if I could.

I have used Mark to purchase and sale three times now, and I'm very very happy to give him 5 stars. He answers every call without making you feel like it's a bother. If your not sure of what is going on or the typical real estate lingo, he will patiently explain each detail and always offers options that will work. I still can't believe he sold our home, with an aggressive tactic, for a record breaking price, we'll over comps, in less than a week, with multiple offers.

I consulted David Perez, a real estate agent of Bullock Russell Real Estate Services for a home I…read morewas interested in possibly purchasing in the mountains. I had originally met Mr. Perez when he was the buyers agent for someone who invited me to view the property they were purchasing with his help. Months later I was in discussions with a different agent and broker about selling property. I had asked that agent to go with me to a property in the mountains I wanted to view. That agent committed to following up at the beginning of the new week, and e-mailed their team members, promising one of them would contact me. Unfortunately, no one associated with that agent ever followed-up and the property I was interested in became contingent and no longer available. I continued to watch the property, and about five months later the property fell out of escrow and was relisted for sale. My experience with the agent I had been in discussions with lost my trust and confidence. I didn't feel they valued me as a potential customer for a sale, and they showed I couldn't trust them for showing me property or negotiating property. Perhaps if I had asked them to sell my car, or help me buy a car, that would of been different. But when you are dealing with hundreds of thousands of dollars into the millions, i'd have to be insane to work with anyone I can't trust. I contacted David Perez of Bullock Russell Real Estate Services since I already had his phone number, he had already helped someone I know purchase a property, and he seemed very knowledgeable when I had previously met him. To my surprise David offered to show me the property, despite knowing it would require several hours of his time, and a three hour round trip drive. He also knew, it was the only property I was looking at in California. David contacted the selling agent to request a time for us to view the property, met at the property on a Saturday, walked me through all the different areas within the property and pointed out issues that concerned him about it. He estimated it may need an addition $250,000 investment to bring it up to code and to correct several concerning issues, including a notice we found on the door from the county indicating it was in violation of several codes. David recommended not purchasing the property and explained why, and that is what a buyer or seller wants and needs from a real estate agent. Someone who is honest, trustworthy and genuinely helping you evaluate a property. I found David very friendly, eager to assist, professional, and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of my questions about the property being looked at and saved me from making a bad purchase. I didn't buy that property and decided to hold off on property hunting while I determine what state or area I want to look at going forward. I interviewed 5 or 6 different agents and brokers so far, and I found it difficult to find one who I feel I can trust. When dealing with so much money, and something so important, I want someone I'd feel comfortable leaving my wallet on the table around if I had to leave the room. I can only speak to my experience, but I feel confident all my money would still be in my wallet if I left it in the room with Mr. Perez, or when making a decision for buying real estate.
