Working with Susy Smith and Laine Warthan throughout our four-month journey of selling our condo…read moreand buying our forever home was an incredible experience. From start to finish, they were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely had our best interests at heart. They always took the time to listen to our concerns, answered our questions quickly, and made sure we felt informed every step of the way. Whenever we needed guidance, they offered thoughtful strategies without ever making us feel pressured. They were also incredibly understanding and respectful of what we wanted and how we wanted to approach each decision. Buying and selling at the same time is stressful, but Susy and Laine made the entire process feel so much more manageable. Their professionalism, dedication, and hard work truly went above and beyond, and we couldn't be more grateful for everything they did for us. If you're looking for real estate agents who are knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely care about their clients, we wholeheartedly recommend Susy Smith and Laine Warthan. We are so thankful we chose them and couldn't imagine going through this process with anyone else!

UPDATE: 11/30/18. I finally decided to call back and spoke with Rich A. We talked a bit and I…read moretold him what I wanted - to take some of my equity and payoff credit card debt - refinancing my mortgage. Initially he said he would put together a package. A little while later I got an email saying we were not at the correct LTV ratio to refinance. WHAT THE!!? Ok I am new to mortgages but I thought you could refinance at ANY time, not just when you have under 80% and can lose the mortgage insurance. Also, he should have known that while initially on the phone with him. I told him specifically what our mortgage was, how much I wanted for CC and what our home should appraise at. Btw, they check the value of your home based on websites like Redfin and Zillow and Trulia. We've done some extensive remodeled which obviously would not be reflected in the websites estimates- but that wasn't even taken into account. Our home was flat valued at market rate for the AVERAGE unit in our area. No thought of compensating for the kitchen gutting and remodel or the bathroom refresh, which can add serious value to equity. Not even a suggestion of an appraisal Just a flat out "we cannot help you" Hmm, someone out there will refinance us and get a good chunk of change doing it - and we will pay off our CC's and still have tons of equity -just not with these folks. Good luck and God bless .... Review 10/20/18 approximately - I don't know ... I heard the ad. I went to the website and filled out the contact form. I waited for a call back. Nothing. I called the number that was the personal phone of owner. Left a message requesting a call back. Nothing. So.... what's up? Selective responding?

Craig is what one might call a "gentle giant." He is tall and handsome and one of the kindest…read morepeople I have ever met. Selling my house was a little trickier than most. We started in March of this year and finally closed escrow in September. While I don't recommend that long of a sales process Craig was present every step of the way. He never lost patience, carefully and kindly strategized each and every step, answered all of my questions, researched whatever needed researching, and kept a light heart that made me laugh a lot. I could not recommend Craig more. If you are looking for a slick dude, ready to sell you, Craig is not your guy. If you are looking for a kind, gentle, thoughtful, and experienced realtor, you would not be in better hands. I cannot say enough. He's the best!

Craig was an absolute joy to work with. My brothers and I used him for the sale of my Dad's house…read morein Cerritos, and because we liked him so much, we used him again for the sale of our house in La Mirada. * Craig was always on top of things, worked to resolve issues quickly, and kept us in constant communication during the process. This was crucial for us since we had moved out of state before our house was sold and were unable to receive vendors and oversee repairs. * Rather than tell us about offers on the sale of our home one by one, Craig waited until he had collected multiple offers to present to us at once. In this way, he was able to make recommendations and direct us towards the best offer, balancing the strength of the offer with the surety of the buyer. * Craig educated us on nuances of real estate that we didn't know about and translated everything to language that was easy to understand. * Craig put the appropriate vendors in place to ensure repairs were made to the satisfaction of the buyer so that escrow could close. * Craig went above and beyond in his services: o He received movers to load our last Pod and locked it up. o He helped us during our packing process by making several trips to remove boxes of papers slated for shredding. From start to finish, Craig maintained an exceedingly high level of professionalism. He clearly loves his work, as shown by his eagerness to come through for his clients.

Theresa Choi who made what can often be a stressful and overwhelming process feel smooth,…read moremanageable, and even enjoyable. From the very beginning, Theresa took the time to really understand what we were looking for and what mattered most to us. She never made us feel rushed or pressured, and instead approached everything with patience, honesty, and genuine care. It was clear that we weren't just another transaction--we were people she truly wanted to help. What stood out most to me was how responsive and thoughtful Theresa was throughout the entire process. No question was too small, and no concern was ever brushed aside. She always made sure we felt informed and confident in our decisions, which meant a lot during such an important moment. Beyond that, Theresa is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. Whether it was navigating negotiations, handling unexpected challenges, or offering practical advice, she consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything worked out in our best interest. I'm genuinely grateful we had the chance to work with Theresa, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. You'll be in excellent hands.

My husband and I had the privilege of working with Liz to sell my mother-in-law's home after she…read morepassed away in August 2025. We first met Liz in September 2025, and from the very beginning, we were incredibly impressed. What immediately set her apart was her approach to pricing the home. Rather than relying solely on neighborhood comps like most agents, she used a sophisticated valuation system that factored in the home's condition, upgrades, and improvements over time. She walked us through how the software evaluated renovations such as kitchen and bathroom updates, roofing projects, and other investments by considering when the work was completed, what was spent, and the local return on investment. It was fascinating to see such a detailed and thoughtful approach to determining the home's true market value. During that first meeting, Liz also took the time to thoroughly explain the market conditions and discuss the best timing for listing the property to maximize its value. She confidently told us that once listed, the home would likely sell within three to four weeks. After months of preparing the house, which included cleaning out more than 50 years of memories and belongings, we finally listed the property in April 2026. Throughout the entire process, Liz provided exceptional guidance every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, patient, and never once pushy. She always presented us with information and options, allowing us to make informed decisions while trusting her expertise. That trust paid off. Just as she predicted, we received multiple offers and sold the home within three weeks! Liz exceeded every expectation we had. She made what could have been an overwhelming and emotional experience feel smooth, peaceful, and manageable during a very stressful and heartbreaking time for our family. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication are truly unmatched. Elizabeth Do is a gift, both in her work ethic and in her humanity. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Liz, you are truly the GOAT!

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!

Pat Hale worked hard to find a property that was right for us. She consistently let us know when houses that met our requirements became available, and didn't waste our time on houses that were outside our desired neighborhoods or price point. She never rushed us. We definitely felt Pat was looking out for our best interest and not just looking to make the next sale. She gave us good solid advice in terms of fair market value, negotiating, etc. In addition, Pat has great contacts; She referred us to an insurance agent we use for all our insurance needs (home +) as well as the mortgage broker we worked with to obtain financing. Home buying can be really stressful, but we didn't feel any apprehension when it came time for us to make an offer on the house we now call home. We had seen enough houses, from fixer-uppers to move in ready, to feel good about the price and property we purchased. Pat did a great job guiding us through the counter offer process. We moved in 2 months ago and couldn't be happier with our home. We can confidently give our highest recommendation to Pat Hale and All Coastal Real Estate!
