Chris (real estate agent) and Diana (managed closing process) Arrieta were fantastic in helping us close on a home quickly and efficiently. A great team, they're both very responsive and communicative and make sure to cover everything. No matter what concerns you may have, Chris as the realtor always makes sure to find the answer. Reliable and really sweet, we appreciate both of them. There was a house he had listed for a different client; when we looked at the house he was honest about all aspects of the property and didn't try to push it in any manner. We really appreciated the transparency. Highly recommend Chris and Diana Arrieta! read more

STAY AWAY! At the time we worked with this agency we were required to sign an exclusivity contract that obligates us to be stuck with them when looking to purchase a home and I quickly learned why. Lots of promises made that then were not followed through on and master manipulation. Another tip if you're stuck with this agency like we were, don't let them use their own hired inspector for the home you're purchasing. We ended up with an absolute money pit that every single engineer and contractor that has come out has said should have been discovered during an inspection. Hire YOUR OWN inspector that actually has your interest at heart rather than helping shady agents close a deal. Please find any other agency to work with than this one. It is one of the biggest regrets of our family's lives. read more

STAY AWAY! Do not list your home with this agency, we found out they were not showing us offers (friends of our friends came to open house and sent in offer which we later found out was never presented to us by our agent). We later found out they were trying to sell it for a lot less to other realtors from the same office where our listing agent was which is KASE. Long story short we figured out how scammy these agents are and listed it with compass. read more

Do not use KASE or Ralff Vizconde. The office managers were not responsive to our concerns. They do not answer phone calls! Only emails and Vizconde texts. He would misrepresent the truth, constantly. Do not list your home with this agency, we found out they were not showing us truthfu information. We later found out they were trying to sell it for a lot less to other friends and realtor friends from the same office where our listing agent was which is KASE. read more

What an opportunity to work with a Dream Team! Jay Figueroa and his team definitely know how to get the job done. We took some time finding a place to call home and Jay lead us every step of the way. He was so patient with us and always had or found answers to our million questions. He always keeps an upbeat and positive outlook that really helps keep you motivated. If you're looking for an agent to help you find your next home look no further. Thanks for all your help! K&J read more

Elegant, knowledgeable, professional team of integrity and élan; I am referring specifically to impressive interactions with agent Nissay Sao and Kevin Stirdivant. Nissay was representing an historic midcentury home in my historic neighborhood of Bixby Knolls, Long Beach, and he truly understood and respected the vintage of our neighborhood, ensuring that the remodel of his stunning listing adhered impeccably to its 1940's vintage beauty and architectural specialness. Kudos to this team for representing this home so graciously and ensuring that our neighborhood retains its historic value and architectural beauty and soul. 10/10 real estate professionals who stand head and shoulders above the competition. read more

If you've ever considered investing in real estate, there are many agents but only a few experts at their craft. Kase Real Estate is one of those few. I had the pleasure of working with Karen when I was looking to buy both of my investment properties in Big Bear, CA. She was everything I could have asked for in an agent: knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and a great negotiator. She helped me win a multiple-offer situation on a highly desirable Big Bear A-Frame cabin. I was particularly impressed with Karen's knowledge of the local market. She knew exactly which neighborhoods were up-and-coming and able to show me homes that I wouldn't have found on my own. She also had a great eye for detail, and she was able to point out things that I would have missed. I highly recommend Kase Real Estate to anyone who is looking to buy, sell, or invest. They are a team of experts who are committed to providing their clients with the best possible service. read more

Kase Real Estate - My second airbnb in Big Bear, CA with the help of Karen Rodas - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Gerardo Garcia and Dina Esmael were very helpful and responsive realtors until you get your keys. After that, all promises of any credits or any reimbursements are gone. We closed in October 2024 and still could not get a response to this day (1/22/2025). They will cut you off and never respond again. Very misleading and defrauding their consumers. Will not recommend read more

Absolutely the best real estate team you can find!!! Kase has incredibly talented people who help you sell your home for the most it can possibly go for. Everyone went above and beyond. From helping me decide what colors and design elements would appeal to buyers (which was a game changer!), finding and scheduling vendors/stagers during the ready to list phase, orchestrating a super inviting open house, masterfully handling negotiations with buyers agents, even getting handymen to take care of things I didn't have the time to do during escrow. Truly, the Kase team are Jedi masters of all facets of real estate! Rewind to the first meeting I had with our Kase listing agent, I was given realistic expectations of what my house could sell for. He brought a strategy on how best to go to market. And even suggested we setup a jumper during open house. I felt like they genuinely cared about the outcome and were going to be easy to work with. I interviewed a few more top agents in the area, and even though they were all nice I realized Kase was going to be the best choice. Just looking at the flyers and marketing material -it was night and day, they paid attention to details and cared about every aspect. The best way to see the difference is to go to a Kase open house and everyone else's. Back to my sell, we had one open house day with a ton of people. Had several offers and sold way, way over list price. We had a super smooth transaction and the team helped every step of the way. Honestly, I couldn't done it without Kase! One of the best decisions I've ever made! read more

KASE agents will harass you with unsolicited calls, texts, and emails in a desperate attempt to get a lead in selling your unlisted home. I asked how they got my information and they claimed Whitepages, so here's your friendly reminder to remove your information to avoid slimy salesmen. Tip: Google "Whitepages suppression request" to opt-out. Stop this gross sales practice. This behavior makes me doubt the real estate agents' professionalism and skills if they need to stoop this low to generate a lead and make a buck. I'm making it a point to never use this company if and when I list my house. read more

I was at an event chatting w Keven about wanting to get another project car, he stopped me and said I should consider putting the money towards a vacation home up in Big Bear. Keven then said let me put you in contact w Karen Rodas. I went up to Big Bear w my family and had a list of several properties I was interested in. After visiting the homes, went to go grab some lunch up in the Village and then called Karen to make an offer on one of the homes. This was 5 weeks ago and today we closed on our vacay home. Karen was in constant contact and made it easy for me and my wife who was vacationing in the south of France. I can't recommend her enough. I had a ton of questions and she was able to answer them. Thank you Karen and thank you to the Kase Mountain team. read more

There are truly no words, but so much gratitude. Kenny, Keven and the whole KASE Fam made the experience of getting into our dream home so seamless, stress-free, fun and enjoyable. I am not sure many folks can say that. It was a fast transaction (well because 2021 real estate was bonkers)... but hear me out- we saw the home on Tuesday, made our verbal offer on Thursday and it was accepted and we were popping champagne on that Friday. We not only got the home for under ask (again, not even a thing in 2021) but I truly believe we got the home because of the relationships and connections KASE has in the local community because they are all about community over competition. Doing business with integrity with the clients needs first and foremost. Using their knowledge and expertise of the neighborhoods we were looking at they were able to steer us clear of some easy to fall for traps during our initial searches. There were a few homes that looked nice to the naked eye but would have caused lots of headaches later, and their knowledge helped us avoid what would have become major regrets. We have since become friends with Kenny, Keven and lots of the KASE Family. It really is a family there and we are so grateful to feel like part of it. You can feel the warmth and happiness when we got our keys for the first time and set foot in our home. With my husband in the mortgage and real estate world, they have also helped him with advice, open arms and referrals too. We can't thank the KASE family enough. Keep doing what you are doing- because you are truly an inspiration and you are changing LIVES!  XO- The Hanson Fam of 5!!! read more

Hey I get that everyone out here is trying to make a living but there's gotta be some social tact, professionalism, and boundaries though right? I find it incredibly intrusive and rude that their agents continue to knock on our doors and bother us during dinner to tell me one of their clients is interested in our home that is NOT for sale. It's incredibly terrifying and creepy that not only will they ignore this, they'll somehow be able to dig up your private information - phone number/emails/etc - and then proceed to contact you AND your children to sell them your house. It looks like this is a persistent issue that their company refuses to address based on the number of other reviews stating the same. If you're willing to work with a company that's willing to do this to other people speaks to your character as a human being as well. read more

My wife and I were in the market for a vacation property in Big Bear. We were looking and looking but could not find one we really liked. My cousin recommended Karen Rodas from KASE Real Estate and she did not disappoint. The first cabin she showed us was absolutely stunning. It was love at first site and we put an offer in immediately. Our offer was second choice but we were very lucky that the first choice buyers backed out. Karen proceeded to get all the documents required from us with ease using web portals. She communicated very well and made the process easy for us. Will be looking forward to working with her again for our next property. read more

Do not trust these people, especially Armando. Shady practices did not represent me or my interests. Once I stopped working with them they continually harass me for more business even when repeatedly telling them no. Avoid at all costs! read more

Drew and Hoda 5 stars. Great team, great communication. Helped me with 2 of my rental properties. Ty

I actually got a phone call from the soliciting offender's supervisor and we had a really nice chat about soliciting and the fact that he and I both get 40+ spam phone calls a day. I really appreciate the fact that he wanted to hear my concerns and didn't try to "sell me" on anything. I'm confident that the original knocking agent will be educated on better ways to handle a pissed off homeowner This was very well handled by his supervisor read more

Karen Rodas helped us purchase a new vacation home in Big Bear. We thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would recommend her without hesitation. Karen is extremely knowledgeable about the area, researched relevant sales data and comps, and devised a strategy for helping us to find and purchase our dream mountain getaway. Karen is hardworking, detail-oriented and patient. She did an excellent job of negotiating with the seller's agent on our behalf. Karen is extremely responsive. We never had to wonder when she would reply to our messages. She is proactive and was always one step ahead of us, anticipating our needs. After we closed escrow, Karen surprised our family with a beautiful arrangement of "welcome home" goodies, even remembering to include doggie biscuits for our puppy. We consider Karen a friend now, and definitely plan to use her for future transactions. You can't go wrong with her! read more

I received an invasive text message to my unlisted personal phone from one of Kase's agents in an effort to make an unsolicited offer on our home, which is not on the market and we have no intention of selling. I understand the Los Angeles market is competitive, but this is completely gross and inappropriate behavior. If we were looking to sell or buy, Kase would be last on our list of potential agents to work with. read more

Kase real estate and Keven and Pauline were tremendous partners the past 6 months when I was dealing with the sale of my parents Back Bay area home in the Back Bay after. From the minute I met Keven and Pauline I knew I was in good hands. We did our research and saw what a great track record they had. They go above and beyond with kindness compassion and a knowledge of not only real estate but of what it takes in this market to sell real estate at the best price. They have tremendous online presence and know how to use social media and all available tools to get the word out on your property. After some options were discussed we listened to their suggestions and when we listed were only on the market for two weekends before we had multiple offers and a final offer that was exactly what my sisters and I had hoped. The Kase team is ethical, knowledgeable and efficient. I am so grateful to the team at Kase- they closed the deal!! read more

I worked with Karen to help me purchase my vacation property in Big Bear. As a first-time vacation homebuyer, I had a lot of questions for her and she was always ready to answer them. Her superpower is strong communication which made the process a lot easier. There are two things that really stood out to me about working with Karen: 1. She never pushed me to purchase a property. She told me to buy something that was comfortable for me. I have heard a lot of stories about agents asking their clients to put higher and higher offers and fortunately Karen is not one of them. 2. She let me make my mistakes. At times during the bidding process, I made bids that will not be competitive and she let me know. I learned throughout the process about the market, we were able to get the perfect place for me. She was patient with me throughout the process. I look forward to working with Karen in the future!! read more

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! From start to finish, top to bottom, nothing but the best from Team KASE!! Our property on Lemon Heights was a very unique and challenging property and they handled it with ease. Can't wait to see what the future has in store for them as they grow and know who we will be calling if/when CA comes calling in our future. True professionals with a desire to do good by their clients. read more

Richard Goodheart represented our family and got us into our first family home. He was there for us every step of the way, and did a terrific job negotiating for us. Richard was very communicative with us and always responded to our calls/texts quickly. He had immense knowledge of the Costa Mesa area. We are very grateful for what he did for our family and we would highly recommend Richard as an agent! read more

In Summary: As a first time home buyer I would absolutely not recommend KASE. They were all very warm, kind people and our experience is certainly bias as first time home's who wanted to feel like someone had our back and had a little time to help walk us through the process and paperwork. When we found ourselves very alone, time and time again, combing the internet for answers. The bonus is we are totally ready for our real estate examines! Update, almost a year in and we are still facing issues that came from poor communication / oversights from our KASE Real Estate team. Pro's: 1. Very, very nice agent and team. Con's: 1. It was hard ever getting a straight answer out of our agent and when things didn't add up it was always "a technicality" that I simply wouldn't understand. All communication felt scatterbrained and disorganized. And I had to push to get answers (if any could be had). This continued with the paperwork, we ended up reaching out to our loan company for guidance. They took the time to help us understand the process, the paperwork, and actually saved us money! This may be my first rodeo, but it felt like that would be our agents job. Again, we felt like we had to be extremely careful step by step through the whole process, because nobody on their team was looking out for us. 2. We honestly felt like our agent had the sellers interest at heart more than ours especially during negotiations, in fact at one point we were told "I am just trying to make sure the sellers are happy". The one sentiment we never felt directed at us! Who cares if we're happy!? I'd imagine it was pretty clear we were not happy. We were told we had the upper hand to ask for repairs needed by our agent, but so confused when we were dissuade by our agent not to ask for what we felt was fair to make it a safe live-able home. 3. We felt our requests were not communicated to sellers eg. every time we visited the house post offer-acceptance (eg. inspection) the selling family was there. On the second visit, I was very clear that I didn't want them there and was told they wouldn't be only to find ourselves in the arriving to a whole family yard sale. Made for a very awkward times with the sellers grandma following us around asking us what we were doing and if we were serious buyers. Buying our first house turned out to be an exhaustive, mostly miserable experience, and I don't think it needed to be. Honestly, I'm kind of bummed on that, but we own a house now so.. onwards and forwards. read more

Our experience working with KASE with the purchase of our beautiful Home in San Clemente was wonderful in every way. In the midst of the wild and crazy real estate frenzy in 2021 the KASE team provided us an extremely smooth and comfortable experience throughput the entire process. KASE Is the team to choose for all your real estate needs! read more

If I could give zero stars , I would. I just found out that my offer was beat by an offer that was $10k less than my offer. Only difference was a 30 day close vs. 20 day close. I could have easily closed on day 20 if there was a counter. On paper , it seems to be a normal 2.5% commission close. This sounds unethical to me. I will never buy a home or even look at a home from this office and I will be sure no one else does as well. Btw, Kevin and Joshua was a part of this deal so if you come across them, buyer/ seller beware. read more

Meeting Keven and the team at Kase was possibly the best decision we've made in the last decade! Keven spent time understanding our goals and objectives with selling our home - he made great suggestions for us to consider and once our decision was made to put our trust in Keven and his team the marketing engine revved up and we witnessed poetry in motion with a well oiled team executing from the little cosmetic suggestions to the pictures and video - all the time keeping us informed, educated and abreast of the nuances in the market. we put our faith in Keven and the Kase team and they delivered - beyond our wildest dreams and In record fashion I might add! if you've got a Home and or want to buy a home - don't hesitate - call Keven and the Kase team I promise you they'll deliver effort and are highly skilled! read more

DO NOT TRUST this place. Keven Stirdevant is not an honest realtor. He misleads you into signing with him then disappears and doesn't return calls. He made me lose 100k in escrow because he's a boy and dosent understand customer service. I regret ever working with him. Good luck read more

Kevin Stirdivant is a horrible person to represent you in selling your house. Greed being his motivating factor for himself and not helping you sell your home for what you listed for. When someone gives you a cash offer ABOVE what you listed at you take it or the offer. I know others that have also dropped him as their realtor as well but save yourself a headache and don't get involved with him. read more

This company hires people to distribute advertisements who don't comply with no solicitation signs. This may be in violation of Costa Mesa city code. The person stuffed the flyer in the screen and left the screen open. I would not consider an agent who uses people to distribute flyers in violation of the law. read more

In real estate I see a common theme of real estate agents just looking at you to make a quick buck. At KASE they made it so clear that they were helping you find where you're going to spend the next season of your life. Buying a home is way more than just a purchase it's deciding where you're going to make memories. At KASE from the agents that seem to turn into friends to the people they connect you with to get your loan you can tell they genuinely care about you, your family and your finances. All together a great group of people. read more

The first time home-buying process seemed so overwhelming and out of reach but with the guidance of Karen Rodas, I felt so confident and prepared each step of the way. Because of her listening skills and attention to detail, the first house we viewed she knocked it out of the park and we made an offer. We knew this would get competitive but with Karen's determination and eagerness to present the best offer, our offer was chosen. It's been almost a year since living in this house and I'm so happy with my decision. To this day Karen is still in close contact with me guiding me through any questions I may still have which shows how dedicated she is to her clients. Can't wait for my next opportunity to work with her again. read more

Josh helped me sold my properties and purchased my dream home. Good communication throughout the process.

Kenny sold our house quickly for top dollar and negotiated hard to get us into our new house. He was available to answer questions day or night. This was our first time selling at the same time as buying which was stressful but he eased our fears and kept us calm and motivated. We were very happy with Kenny and Kase! read more

Amazing group of people! It's hard to find people to trust these days who aren't just out there to make money. Kase real estate isn't one of them they genuinely care about people and getting you into a place you can call home.We worked with Chris Arrieta we gave him a list of things we needed and wanted and not only that the neighborhood, he found our home in the neighborhood we wanted to be in with all the boxes checked. read more
