I happened to find John through a property listing and from our first conversation we were blown away. John is extremely respectful, responsive and thorough. He actually treated our home sale as if it were his own - with so much care and consideration. And to top it off he is not your average agent. His ability to review and recommend a selling strategy gave us the confidence to move forward. Not only did we receive multiple offers on the first listing day, but we received over asking. At no point did we feel alone in this process and he was there throughout every step. John is a pleasure to work with and have hired him to help us purchase our new property in a few months. John made our dreams come true and I can't say enough about his work ethic and expertise. Look no further and give John a call. You won't be disappointed!

Our condo sold for the highest in the neighborhood (with 4 offers in the first few days) and we got a steal of a price on the home we purchased. I feel like all of his advice was spot on. He always knew when a house wouldn't appraise and where we should price our home to get top dollar. My husband doesn't trust many people, so it was very important that we worked with an agent who really knew what he was doing, knew the neighborhood, and who we got along with easily. I loved that he already knew which communities had mello roos, and he didn't waste our time on properties that were not for us. He's not the fake salesman type, he learns your wants/needs and only gives you those options. He's very realistic and does not exaggerate. He was a pleasure to work with and extremely responsive to all our questions and requests. We also went with his broker which made everything so much easier, faster, better, and cheaper for us! We would definitely recommend him to our close family and friends. We do not plan on moving anytime soon, but will definitely use him again if we did. Thanks John!

I was very clear that I wanted to take possession of the property a certain way, and the lady said she was taking notes so there would be no problem. When I received the papers, the information was not correct, so I called our rep at the office. Wow! Not only was she abrupt and rude in letting me know that I needed to just fill out the paperwork and return it, but let me know it didn't matter that I told the first person about my expectations. I was informed by the mortgage company that the fees were very high that they were charging, so I decided to call and ask about them. Our representative rudely let me know that their fees are" not high", and she said she would send me a breakdown, which she never did. That same week paperwork arrived at my work regarding my HOA, so I called the office to let them know that I didn't want anything coming to my work. Again, the rep was very rude and told me " You must have asked us to do that". She said she would check with the other lady in the office and get back with me, but never did! I feel this company is very unfriendly and does NOT know how to treat customers. Their lack of professionalism ruined the first time experience of owning the American Dream! Shame on them!!!

(Fraught because the lender could not meet the deadline to close) He got me the best price for my very own first home of 19.5 years after only 22 days on the market, and kept me informed every step of the way. Tim is efficient, savvy, patient and articulate; and yet gentle to an emotional decision to flee a beloved edifice. He is well versed in the intricacies of home sales. And hence, he circumnavigated every detailed minutiae of an over-regulated and complicated process (which often hides pitfalls for the average layman like me). I am so grateful to Park Regency for this ombudsman Tim Atwood: for their slick promotional photographs, and for his gentle and adept guidance throughout a prolonged, and complicated 75 day escrow. I am compelled to extoll his praises because he achieved so many reassuring resolutions throughout this transaction. His every aim was to act in the best interest of the seller...to get the best price and the fairest value for the client. To summarize: Mr. Atwood was the superlative choice I could have ever made (while so many agents were vying for my commissions). God bless you Tim! And my sincere gratitude for your tireless attention and representation. --Andrew, hot-shot, rock-n-roll, sit-com dolly grip; now a satisfied seller

JESS GUIDROZ puts the REAL in REAL ESTATE!!!…read more To give REAL service, you have to be a person of REAL integrity -- You have to have REAL passion -- And you have to have REAL knowledge that applies to REAL dedication. Jess Guidroz has all of these things and he combines it with a REAL love for real estate. That is why Jess puts the REAL in REAL ESTATE! We met Jess 6 months ago at an open house that he was hosting. Right off the bat, you could feel that his energy and his passion for real estate was different from other agents. I decided to reach out to him about another house he had offered to show me without any strings attached, even though he knew we were not in the market for that price point. Nonetheless, he took the time out of his day to do it because "he loved what he did." After that, we decided that we would hire Jess as our agent. He didn't force us to sign anything or make us feel pressured or stressed out about the process whatsoever. Fast forward 6 months and 20-30 showings later, we're buying a completely different house in a completely different area. Many of our preferences and priorities changed, but our one constant was that we had a REAL estate agent who REALLY cared about our happiness and finding us the perfect house! And on top of all that, he negotiated a discount on the house we wanted and got the previous owner to throw in their tool boxes with the house. It really could not have have been better and its all thanks to Jess! Picking a real estate agent is one of the most important decisions you can make in life. Because the right house, in the right area, can change the trajectory of your life. You need to pick someone who treats you like family and wants the very best for you. And that is Jess Guidroz. We cannot recommend him enough! So if you want someone who is experienced, knowledgeable, dedicated, passionate, and loves what he does....then pick JESS GUIDROZ! He puts the REAL in REAL ESTATE!!!

At first, we were hesitant to work with a realtor just because we didn't know what our timeline looked like, we didn't want to feel rushed, or waste anyone's time. We ended up reaching out to Jess, and were completely upfront with him about where we were at and although we were unsure he took us under his wing and ensured we were taken care of. The patience, knowledge, and understanding he brought to the table was UNMATCHED. He seamlessly ushered us through the process of listing our home, getting us in touch with the right people to see what it would financially take to get into the next home, etc. Even when our search ended up taking a 6 month hault, he approached the situation with understanding and grace. As a family of salesmen were generally pretty good at picking up on ingenuity or the "grimey" feeling that comes within the sales process--- with Jess, NEVER did we feel that way. He's an all around fantastic realtor, and a real stand up guy. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond for you, make the process simple, and efficient, Jess is without a doubt YOUR GUY. Thanks again Jess, we appreciate you more than you know!

They were extremely methodical about choosing the right home, in the right neighborhood with the right amount of mortgage payments. Every step was explained to me clearly and concisely. When I was in the process of finding a home, Dave was very knowledgeable of the Santa Clarita Valley, and every neighborhood was explained to me and how it related to what I was looking for. His expertise enabled me to find a home on our third meeting and I am now a couple of days from closing escrow. As a first time home buyer, I didn't fully know what I was getting myself into. But as I progressed each step, everything was explained to me and I was informed thoroughly and was enabled to make the best decision possible. Dave and Danilelle were very quick to answer my questions and texts. I had a considerable amount of questions because this whole process was completely new for me. I did not feel at any time that they weren't available or weren't willing to answer my questions. The home buying process with the McKean team has been fun, exciting, and smooth.
