    Our #1 home - extremely competitive home due to the recent complete remodel and turnkey/move in ready status.
    Janzel M.

    --This review is specifically for Ryan Chae on the Dan Choi team.--- My husband and I met Ryan through a warm introduction from the Dan Choi real estate team on Halloween 2021.  We were originally planning on renting a house in the Orange County area because we were moving from San Francisco and weren't familiar with all the different neighborhoods.  We started our correspondence via email, to which Ryan was super prompt and responsive, which was crucial as the search was going to be mostly remote/long distance due to our tech jobs being based in SF.  We were free the last weekend of October 2021 so my husband and I flew down to have Ryan show us some houses that met our criteria. For Friday and Saturday, Ryan had set up 16 showings total.  My husband and I had actually looked at rentals in Los Angeles on our own over the course of a week in September and had found that process awful because we were at the mercy of how promptly someone's property manager answered the phone, if the website was easy to navigate, or if a lockbox happened to work at the site.  Ryan set up absolutely EVERYTHING for us, had a nice printout for each day and even set up some showings on the fly.  He also showed properties we didn't see on Zillow/Google!  He made the process painless, and honestly actually enjoyable.  He listened to all our feedback and as we saw more places he actively fine tuned what he'd show or not show. After looking at 16 rentals and realizing how competitive even getting a rental was, late Saturday night my husband and I decided that we'd buy instead.  Ryan was a rockstar with the hard pivot.  He worked tirelessly that evening to make sure we'd see as much as we could in our short weekend trip. For Sunday and Monday, he set up yet another 16 houses!  Switching to house buying instead could've been extremely stressful for any other agent, but Ryan took what he was given and not only rolled with it, but OWNED it.  After knowing what we liked and didn't like in the 2 days of rental showings, Ryan ONLY set up houses that were worth our time. The potential house search marathon was efficient, thoughtful and what needed to be done in case we had to continue the search from San Francisco after the weekend.   By the end of 4 days and 32 homes, I could confidently say if Ryan saw a house by himself without me or my husband and told us we'd love it - I'd have him write the offer and not bat an eye or have an ounce of hesitation.  I wouldn't even have to see pictures or get a link to some details! We put 4 offers down and due to Ryan's masterful guidance, knowledge of the market, and hustle we had BOTH our #1 and #2 offers accepted.  I am typing this review sitting in our #1 home that we got to move into on New Year's Eve 2021.  From initially meeting Ryan in late October, it took him 60 days to make this dream come true. Buying a home in the very crazy, low inventory Irvine/Tustin seller's market is tough, and there was a lot to learn as first time home buyers.  Ryan was not only professional, but also personally someone I respected and am happy to have befriended.  We wouldn't have won our bids without him.  Most people just have offers rejected.  We got to PICK between our #1 and #2 choices.  If I could give him 10 stars out of 5, I would!  But alas Yelp doesn't work that way haha. Highly, highly, highly recommend working with Ryan.  My husband and I will continue to grow our real estate portfolio with him exclusively due to this wonderful first experience. --------- Ryan is a part of the Dan Choi team so we did also have some interaction with Theresa Choi and Mina Yasuda (Mina Mortgage on Yelp). We also had the pleasure of meeting more of the team at a nearby Open House during our Home Inspection. Everyone on their team is extremely nice, professional, communicative, and reliable. Although this specific review is for Ryan, great agents reflect a greater team. I suspect working with any agent on this team would mirror our experience of stellar communication, masterful resources for the OC market, and excellent client service.

    First day in our dream home!

    See all

    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.

Not selling a house for over 20+ years things become very overwhelming sometimes. Shortly after signing to sell our home and things got going, in pops Tara Snider my point coordinator during this process. I received a very welcoming phone call from Tara. She introduced herself and her purpose throughout this process. The run down step by step, messages between, letters, documents, correct spellings, and yes, if someone needed a few extra hours to complete a task, that was Tara guiding the waters. All well never missing a beat, always explaining the why's and how comes when needed. And most of all, just calling to make sure I or my family were doing well. The patience of Tara is outstanding and kind, and if by chance you get her as your coordinator, you clearly won the Jackpot. So to say that Tara was a good coordinator is definitely short of the care she offers the clients she comes across. From the bottom of my heart Tara I truly appreciate everything you did for myself and family. I enjoyed a few times just catching up on each other's day while knowing you were there at the helm to guide the way.
