They operated with a level of care, design sensibility, and professionalism that is rare in the industry, and it showed in every step of the process. Doug and his team became our trusted advisers through our whole process, and their experience, process and advice, were right on target with how we were feeling and how the market was acting. They are a true partner, really listening to the realities of what we were going through, investing their knowledge in us, as we invested in them. Doug and his team didn't treat us just like any real state transaction, they treat it like a two way relationship, listening, advising and executing at a high level. Again, Thank you Doug and team! You are exceptional at what you do!

He was highly responsive and attentive to every detail, ensuring that all aspects were managed seamlessly--even though we were living outside of the area.

We are extremely grateful for his expertise and dedication, and we highly recommend Doug to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We used Ryan as a Buyer's agent when we moved to San Clemente. We selected him because we met him…read moreat an open house some years ago and he impressed us with his thorough knowledge of San Clemente's many neighborhoods. If you know no one in San Clemente, Ryan is the guy to use. He's a second-generation San Clemente resident and his parents still live there. He's been in the business long enough to know how to get things done, who to refer you to if you need quality remodeling work done after close of escrow, and what issues to consider in the process. When we sat down with him at our first meeting he spent about 40 minutes listening to what we were after, like a matchmaker trying to put us in the house of our dreams. He took us around to some prospects, handled all the details of the offer in a professional way and was diligent in his communications throughout escrow. In short, he's everything you'd want in a buyer's agent, and I'm sure he brings the same focus to the game when he's a listing agent. Fortunately he was able to put us in a house that we hopefully will never have to use him for that. He also has a GREAT YouTube channel that even includes information on various San Clemente neighborhoods and other useful information on the home buying process.

He spotted our house the day it went up for sale and it has one of the most amazing views in San Clemente!! Houses like ours go quick and Ryan was ON IT! He negotiated with the sellers agent and we were able to get the property, even with several offers on the property. Ryan walked us through each step of the process and, bonus, even helped us find a builder for our remodel! The house looks amazing - our dream house! We were floored with Ryan's enthusiasm and experience. He truly loves his city of San Clemente with all of his heart! He only wants the best for his clients and he will ensure that you get the BEST service possible. Trust Ryan Schramm for all of your real estate needs!

WARNING STAY AWAY!!! Our Relator was Samantha Meyer (Marsh) (Lic. #0225261954), and it ended in a…read moreterrible experience!! We told Samantha everything upfront on what we needed to sell the house for. She assured us that based on her comps she could get us there. We did her recommended upgrades to the house, and found a buyer. Unfortunately the appraisal came back $25,000 short of what we were asking. How can you mess up that bad as a realtor to get that far off!! We had to take the house off the market. To make matters worse Samatha extorted us financially. She stated she did not require payment for photos or obtaining HOA docs in our contract together. However, when we took the home off the market she threatened to charge us her commission of $14,000 if we did not reimburse her for the photos and HOA docs (Over $1,000!) How is this ethical? It's not!!! STAY AWAY FROM SAMANTHA MEYER!!

I only met with Jeff and Sophia once while in CA from TX. Everything was handled over email/text. They did exactly what they promised, and every step was communicated almost in real time. We had several offers within 3 days of listing our property and in escrow within 5. Thanks to Jeff and his team.

She is professional, knowledgeable, and well connected in the San Clemente area.

They showed us countless properties on our way to finding our perfect home and the insight they provided was invaluable. They knew exactly the neighborhoods to target based on our conversations. As we all know, when you buy a home, you need to be happy with more than the house itself... You need to be happy with the neighborhood, culture, attitude, any associations, etc. This is what makes the house a home. Jill and Elly know this better than anyone I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Thanks for the great service you both provided.

We made the mistake of listing our home with a good friend , emphasis, unfortunately, on former…read more His strategy was to price the house low to create a bidding war. Sounded great in theory. In reality, after a month of lowball offers, deals falling apart, and absolutely none of the promised bidding-war fireworks, he suggested we reduce the price even further , despite similar homes, many not nearly as nice as ours, selling for more. We were completely perplexed. Every time we asked what was going on, there seemed to be another explanation about something supposedly wrong with the house, but never much acknowledgment that maybe , just maybe, the strategy itself wasn't working. At some point, when your beautiful home starts being treated like the last dented can in the clearance aisle, you know something has gone sideways. So we parted ways, took the house off the market for a few weeks, regrouped, and hired Kathe. The difference was immediate. From the moment Kathe walked through the door, she understood what made the home special. The custom woodwork, the huge back patio, the classic kidney-shaped pool, and all the little details that gave the house character. Instead of telling us what was wrong with it, she saw what was right with it. And we loved that. She brought in stagers, added her own personal touches, repositioned the home properly and , this is the part we particularly enjoyed, suggested we actually raise the asking price by $10,000 over our original listing. The minute the house hit the market, we received multiple offers. It sold in a freaking WEEK for nearly $40,000 more than what we had originally been asking. Talk about night and day. The entire experience with Kathe, albeit a very quick one, was an absolute pleasure. She understood the home, understood the market, and most importantly, knew how to present it in a way that made buyers see what we had always seen in it. We genuinely could not recommend her more highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. And when the day eventually comes to say goodbye to our current house, there won't be a dramatic realtor audition process. We're calling Kathe.

Kathe knew the neighborhood, knew the potential buyers and just got to work. She raised the asking price and one week later we had multiple offers over asking. I truly think Kathe is an expert in her field and she knows Mission Viejo inside and out. I would not hesitate to recommend Kathe. It was night and day from our first realtor. Just a consummate professional with huge negotiation skills.

I found the Reed Team through Zillow since they were the highest rated. I wanted a painless sell…read moreand someone that knew the Aliso Viejo (South OC) area. Darren Shepherd from the Reed Team stepped up to the plate because he was an Aliso Viejo native. From our previous experience with an agent from the buyer side of things, we knew what we did and didn't like about the home buying experience. From the first time meeting with Darren, we were very impressed with his knowledge. From search criteria, to what to fix, what not to fix, what to price things at and when to sell. With that is also his personality that you are just drawn to. Easy to talk to, and always getting back to you regardless of what questions you may have. On top of this, we're in a pandemic and Covid doesn't make anything easier. A lot more protocols and safe distancing, the team members were very health conscious. We listed our home, got 50 viewings over a weekend, 15 offers (more, but we cut it off), and accepted and closed within 30 days. Darren helped with the selection process by weighing in the pro's and con's of each and even helping to look at sneaky tactics that agents will use on the contracts. It was an eye opener that surely only an expert could see. After the contracts were signed, the Reed Team members like Crystal Stichter and Amy Jones stepped up to the plate and handled all the operational work. The Escrow team they worked with was also smooth sailing. My wife and I highly recommend Darren Shepherd and the Reed Team. 5/5 Stars!
