My family and I needed an experienced realtor that could navigate the potential twists and turns of…read moremy grandfather's trust. Meridox turned out to be the best choice we could have made. Trung and Linh were consistent with their communications with us and kept us informed on all aspects of the listing, negotiations, and escrow processes. From our first meeting, they were well prepared and did their homework. Comps and initial estimates were extremely helpful. The most impressive aspect of their services was the negotiations, with multiple offers received, Meridox carefully orchestrated another round of bidding, culminating in us receiving the highest and best offer. Disclosures, paperwork, and escrow were a breeze. I would highly recommend their professional services to friends and family, and I would use them again in a heartbeat!

I thought I would never end up buying a house...so when I found my dream home just randomly driving…read moreby one day, I realized I didn't have any knowledge of how the process work. While my parents introduced me to a family friend who was a real estate agent, I had no idea how to go about finding a loan officer! After digging through Yelp/Google, I stumbled upon Meridox Mortgage that had stellar reviews and took a chance. I called Meridox and was put in touch with Trung Tran. I let him know that I didn't have any knowledge of how the house-buying process works, but he was incredibly supportive and assured me he would walk me through every step. Shortly after we finished talking on the phone, he sent me a list of items to provide for the pre-approval letter. Trung's turnaround was quick. I sent him my information in the evening and got the letter the next morning. My real estate agent used this letter to draft the offer...it was accepted! After my offer was accepted, the rest of the process was somewhat nebulous, but my real estate agent worked closely with Trung to help me through. Trung was with me every step of the way. He patiently explained how my monthly mortgage payment and closing costs were calculated and even helped me negotiate a home insurance offer. He even kept a close eye on the market and advised me when I should lock in the rate. I thought home buying would be more stressful, but it wasn't as bad as I thought because Trung made every step clear and was very on top of deadlines. From pre-approval to loan closing, it took just one month! Thank you Trung for being so diligent and patient in helping me secure my dream home! Trung was also very proactive in reaching out to me a few months later when interest rates dropped by about 1%. I had the honor of working with Trung again for my refinance, and it was also efficient and painless! I recommended Trung to my coworker recently when she was looking to buy a condo. Highly recommended to anyone who is in a market for a house to look into Meridox!! Thanks again for your hard work, Trung!!!

Michelle was always responsive - whether it was a phone call or text, she made herself available and kept everything moving smoothly. She's not only professional but also incredibly pleasant and easy to work with. Her negotiation skills really stood out, and she made sure we secured a great home in a very competitive and expensive market. We truly felt supported and confident throughout the entire process. We have zero regrets and are extremely happy with our purchase. If we ever decide to buy or sell again, Michelle will absolutely be our first call. If you're looking for a hardworking, knowledgeable, and reliable realtor, we highly recommend Michelle Tsai.

Our house wasn't the most updated or "picture perfect" home out there, but Michelle came in and completely transformed how it showed. She knew exactly what needed to be done to make it appealing, and the response we got from buyers was incredible. There was a lot of interest, and we ended up getting a great price - better than we had hoped for. What I appreciated most was how involved and communicative she was. She was constantly checking in, calling, texting, and making sure we were comfortable with every decision. We never felt alone in the process, especially during negotiations, which can get stressful. She guided us through everything and always had our best interests in mind. She's not just good at what she does - she genuinely cares. That made a huge difference for our family.

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.

Genelle organized and handled all aspects of the minor improvements, staging, and all details with me to prepare my property for sale.

In the end, I believe that I got the best possible price for my house.

I met Joel in 2020 during the pandemic. He is amazing, easy to talk to and trustworthy. I felt safe…read moreand comfortable in discussing my goals. He's amazing!

Let me start off by saying, me and my wife hand picked Joel based off of his amazing Yelp reviews,…read moremaybe that was our mistake. We reached out to him with a few places that we wanted to see. He got back to us in a timely manner and told us there were no showings yet for some of the homes. We sent him some more that we wanted to see, and Sunday was our first time meeting him in person. We met him at a new construction build, and me and my wife were pretty excited. Yes, we were three minutes late, we can take responsibility for that. We got out the car and approached Joel, who was waiting by the front. Mind you this is our first time meeting, and he never formally introduced himself. He said our names to make sure it was us, but that was it. There was no "Hi, nice to meet you," or "Hi, how are you, I'm Joel." It seemed as if he didn't care who we were and that we were going to be his clients. We never had a formal sit down to discuss the process, what we were looking for, or asked if we had any questions. We never even got a business card from him, but he was sure quick to leave them at every place we saw. Once we started viewing the homes, me and my spouse were talking amongst ourselves about the things we liked and didn't like. We aren't picky but we would like a few things. He never asked what we wanted or did we like any of the properties. Once we found one that property that he suggested, he didn't even ask how we liked it. He just told us the next step is to put our names on the list and fill out the required paperwork. He definitely wasn't big on small talk at all. It seemed as if he just wanted to get rid of us, and he had other places to be. He didn't even TRY to get to know us personally. If you can't build rapport with your clients, why should the clients trust you enough to buy a home with you? First impressions are everything and this first impression sucked. While we were looking at one property that we really liked, the sales rep was in the office with another client after we came back. Joel told us we could go see the other model while we waited. We came back and he was having a long conversation with another realtor there. He saw us and continued on with his conversation. He never asked us how we liked that one or what we thought. Just kept talking away and never said a word to us. He talked to this guy more than he talked to us! At the end of this visit, Joel said the next step is to fill out the paperwork to get on the list with the builder and then he said goodbye. Excuse me but how did YOU know we really even liked the place? Don't think you're about to get a pay out for 5 minutes of work. If we are going to have to know you for the next 6 months while waiting for the home to be built, you better treat us like you give a crap about us. Let me tell you, Joel suggested ONE property to us. He never sent a list of other available listings or did any of the leg work. We found the places and all he did was meet us there. We didn't have any appointments or anything. The people in the sales offices spoke to us more than he did. We don't need a "communicator," we can talk to people ourselves. I even waited to tour places, so that Joel could receive the commission, because a realtor needed to be present on the first visit. He didn't talk about any of the properties or what was included. I'll say this, there's many real estate agents in the area, we definitely don't need you if you don't care. This was going to be a for sure sale using the VA loan, but someone else will meet our needs. We are also NOT first time home owners, so we do know what to expect when it comes to a realtor and what good customer service is. Would not recommend him, unless you're searching for your second million dollar home in the Inland Empire. He just wants the easy money and does not care about the client. S/N: Attached is a text from Joel, in case he tries to dispute us ever working together.

We got to see 11 homes in person and knew by the 2nd viewing which was the house we wanted and offer, thanks to Janice's hard work in finding the right homes for our needs! She made our process super simple. All the forms/contracts we signed were easy to understand, and she explained everything to us since we have no clue what it takes to buy a home. She was very detailed in providing us a weekly escrow calendar update, keeping us in line with our goal to get things done in a timely manner. She fought real hard for us when the seller became difficult at the end. She was always responsive to all my phone calls, emails, and text messages. I loved how proactive she was and is!!! If you are a first time home buyer, than I recommend you contact Janice and her team at Nordstrom Group. We could have not gotten our house so quickly, smoothly, or perfectly with out Janice.

Lars and his team were determined to find us a home so they went door knocking and found a couple who were going to be listing their home in a few months.

They also sold our house right away and found us an apartment to move into while we did some remodeling. They were truly a "one stop shop". I highly recommend them!

He doesn't just want you to buy, he wants you to buy a home you'll love and appreciate, which means he'll tell you the good, the bad and what can be done to make it great. In an incredibly competitive market with high demand and an ever decreasing supply of homes Lars went the extra mile to make sure our offer was accepted (he gave us a number we should start at, would've ended up costing us more $ had we opened higher!) - effective, timely communication with the listing agent, making sure it was clear to the seller that we were serious about taking our offer to closing. Best part of it all was that everything was done behind the scenes, he simply came back to us with the winning result that we, quite frankly, didn't want to have high expectations for as it was our first serious offer. Needless to say, an amazing feeling thanks to Lars & team. Lars, simply put, is the person you want on your team and if I were an agent I'd hate to compete against. He does things the right way - even if it means taking more time - and fights for results, he has most certainly earned my lifelong business and, more importantly, friendship!
