Reached out for realtors in Mission Viejo via Yelp since I don't live in the area and…read more I was contacted by Kathe. I explained that I had a distressed property that I needed to sell in Mission Viejo above the lake. Kathe understood where I was going with the sale and property and was quick to meet with me and quick to start bringing investors by to look at the property. Within days we had multiple cash offers and hit the "magic" number I needed for the sales price. The process was quick and Kathe made it so easy. She went above and beyond also checking on the vacant property when I wasn't in town. Kathe also helped me set up an estate sale at the property. When I say Kathe exceeded my expectations, that is truly an understatement. Kathe was freaking awesome! From start to finish; the process was simple and I was kept in the loop by her and her escrow company. Thanks again Kathe for the outstanding job you did. I cannot recommend Kathe enough when it comes to all your real estate needs.

I met Tracey initially as the selling agent when I bought a home in Marina Hills. She was very…read morepolite, made a great impression, and did a great job working my agent to make the deal happen. As I've lived in Marina Hills now for 6 years, I've noticed that Tracey is the "Queen of Marina Hills". Anyone that wants their home sold properly and professionally seeks Tracey's services. I had Tracey represent me for my latest transaction and I was so impressed. Super friendly, awesome communication, and great attention to detail. I plan on working with Tracey again in all of my real estate dealings in South County.

This story begins 7 years ago. One day Tracey knocked on my door to introduce herself as a new…read moreagent to the neighborhood. I was impressed with how she conducted herself - not pushy or overly aggressive to secure a listing. Rather she just took the time to let me get to know her and see if there was anything she could do for us if we were looking to sell. I told her we were not looking at this but maybe in the future. Over the years I watched her career grow in the local real estate market here in Orange County, Ca. I would see more and more listings with her name on them. She developed one of the best real estate agent websites I have found and she continued to close sale after sale to quickly become one of the areas best producing agents. Fast forward to 2018. With a new job and the need to relocate out of state, it was time to sell our house we had occupied for the last 14 years. Over the last 14 years a lot changed in the real estate market and we found ourselves feeling a bit lost and overwhelmed. We knew we had to do some upgrades to make our house more appealing, but struggled with exactly which ones to do. I decided to give Tracey a call to enlist her help in selling our home. Like the professional she is, she picked up the conversation right where we left off 7 years ago. She remembered my kids and if they accomplished the goals we spoke about back then. I filled her in on what had happened over that time and where we were now. We decided to secure Tracey's services and quickly got the ball rolling. Over a 2 month period Tracey and her team of Videographers, Staging consultants and Photographers helped get our house in shape to put on the market. She truly has a team of professionals that work as one unit to make the experience a simple and easy one. Throughout the entire time Tracey was always available to answer any question we had for her. She was always prompt and professional in her reply and often got us over our concerns and challenges we faced with selling a house and moving after 14 years. Long story short. It was the best experience I have ever had selling or buying a home. Tracey's market analysis and plan execution got us an offer the very first day it was listed and we closed with a final offer $30,000 over our asking price. It was like she was looking into a crystal ball the entire time. She know the best strategy, timing, everything. Now, there is no guarantee you will get $30,000 over your asking price...but if you want the best chance of doing so and want the best agent in Orange County, CA representing you...have Tracey be your agent. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Tracey!

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.

Real estate transactions are rarely perfectly smooth -- and it's in the complex, time-sensitive moments where true professionals stand out. Time and again, JJ and his team have navigated difficult files, solved problems before they escalated, and delivered results when it mattered most. They communicate clearly, anticipate challenges early, and remain steady under pressure. More than once, they've stepped into situations that required creative structuring, tight timelines, or last-minute adjustments -- and they've simply handled it. My clients consistently feel informed, supported, and protected throughout the process. That level of consistency over eight years is not accidental -- it's a reflection of expertise and integrity.
