Chamberlain Real Estate - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Well Dave Chamberlain is up to his old tricks. Over a year after he sold our house for $45,000 under the asking price, he didn't get the review he expected so besides the full page nastygram he posted casting dispursions about my marriage, my job, and my step daughter he called me today and asked if it was a bad time, to which I replied " its always a bad time when you call" please don't call me again. So here is the text he sent me right after I hung up. read more

Chamberlain Real Estate - What kind of business man would harass a former client this way. Steer clear of him or you may be next. He's a bit unhinged perhaps - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

I had a very negative experience with Dave outside my own home. He is apparently listing the home next door and felt entitled to my personal parking while visiting the home. When I went outside to let him know that he is in private parking, not public, he tried to shoo me away. When I didn't back away, he rolled his window down and said, "DO YOU HAVE A SHOTGUN TO MAKE ME MOVE?" That is one of the most entitled and unprofessional statements I have ever heard. I wouldn't recommend him or the business to anyone in our community. Team Chamberlain prides themselves on being active in the community but one of the faces of their business can't even respect members of the community or private property. How difficult would it have been to park on the street? If it was a normal house, would you just park in the neighbor's driveway? In this day and age, was it the best choice to let me know I'd need a SHOTGUN to get you to move from my private parking? read more

Wouldn't trust them to list a property. Went to view one of their listings and ready to negotiate way way over ask. They don't return your agents calls, no call backs whatsoever so no opportunity to even get in and bid after a few basic questions. The poor seller of this property may have received a better offer than they now have accepted and the property went contingent a day later without them even calling a potential buyer back. Imagine if they represented your listing like this. read more

Dave and Linda Chamberlain are the epitome of full service realtors. My husband and I had had real estate licenses since the late 70s and had always sold our own properties but when my husband, after a short illness, passed away while we were in escrow for the purchase of a new home, I knew I couldn't handle the sale of our home at that time. I'd been watching the activity of countless realtors in the area for over 15 years and knew that Dave and Linda were the best, so I did not hesitate to call them when I needed to put my home up for sale. I DID really hesitate when Dave told me he wanted to list it for $100,000 more than I felt it could sell for. He then showed me the reasons behind his valuation and I agreed to the listing price. There was absolutely no pressure to do so and he was very confident that he could sell it at that price. Both of my children lived out of the area and I was faced with the daunting task of getting the house ready to go on the market. We had lived in that house for over 17 years and there was a LOT to get rid of because I was downsizing to the new house and buying almost all new furniture. That's when the Chamberlains took over. Linda and their daughter Kylee first helped me go through the garage that was my husband's domain. He had saved things that I had no idea were there. It took 4 days to do that. They then had someone pick up all the junk and things I knew I wouldn't be using in the new house. Then they had someone take all the furniture I was not going to use in the new house and sell it at estate sales. They had Kylee stage my house for free and it looked spectacular! When my house hit the multiples, it was sold 6 days later for the full price that Dave listed it for. Dave had great guys to do some minor repairs needed on the house. Kylee and Linda were there again helping me pack. The buyer become very difficult during escrow and Dave shielded me from most of it. In all the decades of his experience in the business, he said it was the MOST difficult buyer he had ever dealt with. Dave persevered however, escrow closed, and I was able to move into my new home with a lot more money than I had expected. Again, Linda and Kylee were there to oversee the move. They even had some great movers to do the job and a great electrician to hang some new light fixtures for me. You can see that if you are looking for someone to list your home, or help you buy a new one, the Chamberlains are THE BEST. They are first class realtors and you won't be disappointed. read more

I just recently sold my house, and Team Chamberlain helped me buy our new house with much more space needed for my family. We were able to basically set a record in my old neighborhood as we got full asking price during this corona virus pandemic, which I thought was a miracle in itself. Kylie did a wonderful job staging our home, and is amazing what she can make an ordinary house look like. After she was done staging it, we almost didn't want to leave/sell!! Dave was able to broker a deal in College Park East, and in my opinion we were able to get our new house for about 25k under asking price. I based this on comparable homes sold in this neighborhood. However, the star of the show was Neil. He absolutely busted his ass during this entire process from beginning to end. 99% of the time, he picked up the phone whenever I called, he went over to help my dad (as my dad co-signed my loan on the house that I sold) e-sign paperwork because my dad is 70 and is technologically challenged. Neil always made me aware of updates between me and the seller, and was help to help me take "junk" to the dump and get rid of it for me. What really won me over was the fact that Neil actually helped us move!!! On moving day, I hired a team of 3 movers who were able to move most of my stuff. We still had a few things to move, one of which was a ping pong table along with more boxes in the garage. Neil offered to bring team chamberlain's big trailer to move the rest of my stuff which allowed me to cut the movers I hired early and save me a few hundred bucks. Not only did he offer up the trailer, but he helped us load/unload all of our leftover stuff too! He was right there sweating along side me, my dad, and my 14 year old son loading and unloading the trailer on a hot summer day. Thanks to Neil we got everything moved over to the new house in 1 day. I was already happy with how Neil was handling this transaction, and he earned my respect on moving day as he rolled up his sleeves and helped my family move. Thanks to everyone on Team chamberlain, and especially Neil for making this process as smooth as it possibly could be. read more

Chamberlain Real Estate - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Los Alamitos, California

Dave and Linda Chamberlain, of Team Chamberlain, are awesome realtors. They really rocked when it came to selling my home in Cerritos. On our first meeting they gave such great advice about updating my home before listing it. They suggested that I might consider changing the oak stain on the kitchen cabinets. Then they suggested that although my oak dining and living room furniture is beautiful I might want to replace it with lighter furniture. The same goes for the pictures throughout the home. They said that they have all of the furniture and pictures that can be used for staging. They have a home coordinator on staff, movers to place my furniture in my garage, a photographer for a virtual tour, packers and packing material. Dave and Linda said that if I use their suggestions I would probably get or exceed my asking price. I figured that taking their advice was going to cost me a bundle. Besides me having the kitchen cabinets repainted, for which they could recommend a painter, THEY had all of the suggestions taken care of at no cost to me. Dave & Linda are a class act. They also said that I would probably be able to sell it in about a week. They were close. In the first two days I received seven offers. When the first offer fell through escrow approval they said don't worry. When I had a glitch with financing my new home they said don't worry. When there was an issue with my home passing inspection they said don't worry. When it came time to negotiate my selling price they said don't worry. And you know what, I didn't worry because I knew that I had Team Chamberlain backing me up. I was so please and impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of Team Chamberlain and their office staff. I have recommended them to my friends. Thus far one friend has listed with them. I give Team Chamberlain five stars and a double thumbs up. read more

In response to your comment....Dave,in America, we have something call Freedom of Speech...you may jave heard of that.. I am expressing my opinion along with other reviewers on Yelp concerning my experience with you as my real estate agent.It is very sad that people have negative opinions of your services I had to give you one star to exit pit of Yelp bit I feel you do not deserve 1star! read more

My wife and I grew up in Los Angeles and wanted to raise our children in Orange County. We were looking at the Los Alamitos school district and surrounding areas. We came across Dave, he sold our home in Los Angeles, put money in our pockets and placed us where we wanted to be. Dave guided us in the right direction by placing us where property holds it's value, schools excel, air quality is great, within minutes of shopping and the Beach. Dave was helpful and kind throughout the entire process and for that my family and I are grateful and completely satisfied. read more

We had no previous relationship with Team Chamberlain,yet stopped at an open house because we were potentially looking to move. It was 4:30 on a Sunday and Neil was winding up the open house. We talked, told him what we were interested in. Neil suggested a possibility of a home not yet listed, but would try to let us look at if we wanted. Neil got us into the home at 5:00! We were impressed that after conducting an open house, Neil still was willing to go the extra mile not knowing us. It was the house we were looking for-had all our requirements. 6:30 Sunday evening, Dave & Neil sat with us to get the contract written that we wanted. We appreciated their quick response and attentiveness on a weekend! Dave Chamberlain sold our townhome in Cypress November, 2019. We bought a home from him November, 2019. Our townhome in the complex as of March, 2020 is still the highest price sold to date! Are we happy? You bet! We are just as happy with our new home, which we felt was a fair price. We felt Dave & Linda and their entire team gave 100%+ effort during the sell/buy process. Dave, Linda & Neil were always a phone call away. Kylee's professionalism in staging was wonderful! Every weekend we saw them as they did an open house with all signs in the area pointing to our townhome! Team Chamberlain was completely professional, knowledgeable on all aspects of house transactions from fins ace to staging. They know their business. read more

Great place, found my perfect rental property. Dave helped guide me through every step. There a lot of wolves out there, luckily I found Dave to help me out read more

Needed to look for place that help with purchasing a new decided to check this place out since i was in the areas, one of the employee welcome me and I sat down I forgot to get his name but he was very helpful and gave me a lot of tips. read more

My dad and i came to them and they were super helpful. You guys should see John. He is awesome! We got our first home here.

Submitted a backup offer in November and no response. No one has bothered to call or email us or my broker even after we visited the office. Still waiting! The house still shows accepting backup offers or on the Trulia website it's Active Contingent. Not sure if we got lost in the mix or got completely ignored. Regardless, it shows that the level of organization and professionalism is lacking. read more

Buying a house is a stressful process no matter how many times you do it. My husband and I are currently in the process of purchasing our second home through Team Chamberlain, and let me tell you, they have been nothing but amazing! They make the whole process as painless as possible. They truly take into consideration your time and budget. They are always willing to meet with you on a schedule that fits your needs. We are not the easiest clients (because we are kind of picky with what we want in a house) and they have always met or exceeded our needs. We will definitely be using Team Chamberlain for our future sales and/or purchases. read more

Team Chamberlain did an absolutely fabulous job in selling our house. From the first meeting, they identified how they would market our house, the anticipated sale price and the number of months to sell. They were head and shoulders above any other proposals we has received. Working with Team Chamberlain is a dedicated contractor who did excellent work fixing up the house, kitchen and bathrooms and preparing them for sale. Throughout the process, Dave or Linda would give us calls about when the next Open House would be and the level of interest. Never was there a time when I did not receive a call or text back after I had asked a question. Even when they were in Hawaii for a family event they still kept in communication about the house. You will not find a more qualified group to assist you with Purchasing or Listing a home. I am completely satisfied with the whole transaction. read more

I was introduced to the Chamberlain's about 30 years ago through their involvement with the community and philanthropic support. Dave sold the first income property I owned back in 1989, I put it on the market priced high compared to other properties in the area, as I only wanted to sell it if I was able to get my price. It took a couple of months before Dave presented me with a couple of full price offers. The buyer turned out to be difficult wanting escrow to be handled in unusual ways. Dave was able to work with the buyer through the escrow bringing it to a successful close. My mother recently passed away, and I was left with her house as the major part of her estate. The house was built in 1965 and still had original kitchen and bathrooms, it was a large house in a good area, but it definitely needed some updating. I felt very overwhelmed with the project but my siblings wanted to make the house more marketable and did not want to take a loss selling it as a "fixer". We started work on the bathrooms and realizing we were in over our heads I contacted Dave and he came to the rescue. Dave and Linda were able to provide excellent advise on cabinets, flooring, colors, and how to update the floor plan. I was concerned about how to finance the project since it turned into something bigger than I had anticipated and was also concerned about finding people to do the work. Dave and Linda were able to come through on all accounts. They were able to help with financing, workers, engineering, design, working with the city, utilities and seeing the project through to completion. The house went through an incredible transformation from the front curb to the back fence. It now has a modern layout with a gourmet kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, an open welcoming floor plan, beautiful flooring, all color coordinated and pleasing to the eye. I'm not saying the project always went smoothly, there were some unplanned expenses, surprises when the walls were opened up, delays with the city and utilities, but that's to be expected remodeling a 53 year old home. Dave either handled or helped handle all the issues, I couldn't have done these upgrades without Dave's help. Once the house was completed, Dave put it on the market. This included staging the house to give it a beautiful spacious look, taking fabulous professional pictures of the home, and preparing a professional video of not just the home but of all of the amenities of the surrounding areas; beach, shopping centers, university, schools, work centers. It was the best presentation I've seen on any of the real estate sites. Bottom line we were able to sell the house for a record price in that neighborhood. We were able to net significantly more money compared to if it had been sold it as a fixer, despite running into a few unplanned expenses with the remodel and a few delays. Thank you Dave and Linda for doing such a professional and excellent job. read more

Dave Chamberlain of Century 21 was great. He and Team Chamberlain help me and my family purchase a dream home. They were very help on finding the best property to fit our budget. Thank you Dave Chamberlain for all your help. I would use them again to purchase another home. read more

Loyalty. Initiative. Professionalism. Four real estate transactions and twelve years don't lie. In 2002 my husband and I were pregnant with our first child, and I was determined to move into Rossmoor. During one of the first weekends of our neighborhood search, we ran into Kim Chamberlain at an Open House, and we made an immediate connection. That weekend she showed us a house she knew would be a perfect fit for us ... and she was right. She and Craig knew the neighborhood and were able to advise us expertly on both location and price. Within just a few days, our own home was on the market to sell, and we had an offer to the sellers of our "perfect fit" home. But our sale was not without glitches. We had one buyer back out of escrow at the last minute and the night of signing papers with a second buyer my husband suffered a heart attack. The compassion for our family, the time committed to us, and the creativity with which they advised us through all the financial decisions of the two transactions were all beyond expectations. In the end, our house sold above the asking price, escrow closed on time, and my husband made a full recovery. As an added touch, as if they hadn't done enough, the first night in our new Rossmoor home the two of them showed up with dinner to welcome us to their neck of the woods. In the end, their dedication to us during those few months made us feel special. Made us feel like they were working only for us. Made us feel like a true partner in one of the biggest decisions of our lives. Fast forward ten years. We were ready to upgrade, and we turned to them to sell our home. Because we believed in them, we looked to them to perform their magic during the real estate meltdown; we were going to put them to the real test. Not knowing what to expect about timing or price, we let them and their experience guide us. Again, they exceeded our expectations. They staged our home, helped us make some immediate decisions about necessary upgrades and spent 2-3 weekends every month at our home holding Open Houses. Because not all buyers make it easy, we struggled to sell. But the Chamberlains were steadfast, determined and proactive. In the end, again, our house sold at the asking price during an unforgiving time in the history of real estate, escrow closed on time, and we all stayed healthy throughout the transaction. Now we needed another home, and so they helped us again with our purchase. But because Kim had done such a perfect job of finding our initial neighborhood location, we decided that our move needed to keep us on our same street. We inevitably found another perfect home, and the Chamberlains guided us through each and every step of the creative purchase. Without reservation, if you're looking for a neighborhood expert, an extraordinary tag team, staging masters, creative thinkers, marketing gurus, a relationship that lasts long after the real estate transaction, and your perfect home, Craig and Kim are the answer. I've recommended Craig and Kim to anyone who has ever needed a Realtor. I've recommended Craig and Kim to anyone who has ever needed a trustworthy real estate adviser. I've recommended Craig and Kim to my friends. And I will continue to do the same for another twelve years if I can be so lucky. Thank you, Team Chamberlain, for changing our lives for the better. read more

I had the misfortune of dealing with Dave Chamberlain during my first real estate experience. It was one of the most painful and horrifying experiences; he cost me nearly 100k and had the audacity to try and blame me. Please take this as a warning against signing up with him as your realtor. read more

Charged me a Short Sale fee on top of his commission. I had to pay out of pocket for that short sale fee. On top of that, he said he would give us a welcome home gift and havent heard from them since. This happened back in 2011. read more

He was our buyer and seller agent for a short sale. He did not help with any closing costs and charged a "short sale fee" on top of that!

I had a great experience working with the Chamberlains. They have been extremely professional and got me the house that I wanted. Best thing about buying a house recently is that it brought me a good friend in the form of Dave Chamberlain. I gave my price target to him and he went out of his way to make it happen. The best realtor experience I ever had in my life (this is my third house in the past 5 years). read more

While I can't speak for the reality side of the business, I have a few friends who can. They would tell you the staff at team chamberlain. They take the time to make the buying process not only exceptionally well explained but also fun. They care for the people they work with and they are willing to go the extra mile for the customer. This is what I'm told from friends that have used them. Now what I have experienced personally is on the property management side of the business. They manage the property I live in. It's a rental and it's amazing. They don't hesitate if I have a problem. They get someone out same day to get it taken care of. They are lenient with my situation and they never ignore a call. Whether it's Dave or linda. Craig or Kim they are there and on the spot for all my needs. Seems people hate to pay realest ate agents. Well guys they are providing a ton of time and service to you sorry but it costs money. I see the negative and just had to speak up and say that it isn't like this. They aren't like this. They are good people and will put you in your dream home. They work tirelessly to do so. Thanks to team chamberlain. Especially Dave and linda for making my life better. You guys are awesome. read more

Craig and Kim helped us sell our Rossmoor home. They were fantastic to work with, top notch. Couldn't have been more pleased throughout the entire process. Kim helped with upgrades and staging to make our home look like a model home, so beautiful that it sold so quick. Craig helped make the process go smooth. We are so happy we chose Craig and Kim to work with. We wish we had more properties to sell, for we would gladly choose them again and again. read more

Not only was this team friendly and polite, but they also did everything possible to sell my house quickly. They made sure to keep me updated on the possible buyers and suggested at what price to sell my house that would both benefit me the most and was reasonable at the same time. I truly recommend that you choose this team if you're in search of a new home or are interested in selling yours! read more

What a blessing it has been to have Team Chamberlain assist me in creating a better life for my family. My experience with them has been superb. They sure took care of us. Their service resulted in successful win/win transactions exceeding my expectations. I cannot thank them enough. I have referred friends to them. Those friends also had similar experiences with Team Chamberlain as will you. I feel as if God uses the Chamberlains to make major positive differences in people's lives. Definitely not your average real estate brokerage. Team Chamberlain sets the bar. If you want the best, you go with Team Chamberlain. read more
