Nura was recommended to us by friends who sold and bought houses through her. This was the first time for us selling a house and we needed help from an agent. We have been always very skeptical of real estate agents as a business, showing little concern for the people but more for commission. We experienced that first hand when so called "friends / neighbors" become commission hungry and showed us the cold shoulder just because we decided to go with Nura. Very sad but showed us their true colors and it was not too late as for some others. Our experience with Nura was exact opposite. Through the sale of our house, we became friends. We can only emphasize what other reviewers are stating, Nura treats you with respect, professionalism, expertise, and unmatched energy. She knows the market and is a great negotiator with the best for you in mind. She put us first and spent hours discussing our bit more unusual situation selling our house. We felt as we were her only clients. She did not give up when it became more challenging and continued to provide excellent service until the sale was finalized. Nura cares about people and always had an ear. During our many phone conversations we talked everything else but real estate. We became friends. No doubt we would choose Nura in a minute if we ever had another real estate transaction. If you are looking for a trustworthy, genuine, and caring real estate agent please give Nura a call. She is amazing. read more

My girlfriend and I met Nura at an open house while we were looking for a home in South OC. We were working with a different agent at the time but after a quick 10 min chat with Nura we immediately wanted to work with her instead. She helped us view many homes and place 5 offers prior to ultimately being accepted for the home that we ended up purchasing. She is FANTASTIC! Nura goes above and beyond what any other real estate agent does. She provides vendor contacts for any work that you need done, is a great negotiator, and always has your back no matter what. She is extremely communicative and professional. I cannot recommend her enough and will be using her for any and all future real estate deals. read more

My wife and I have purchased and sold quite a few homes in Southern California over the years. During our recent purchase, we really appreciated Nura's knowledge of South Orange County real estate and her skills during the finance, negotiation and inspection phases of our purchase. Perhaps the best opportunity for any professional to shine occurs when unforeseen problems arise -- and Nura certainly did shine during our unforeseen issue. During our purchase, we had decided to finance through the bank that we had been with for over 40 years. Unfortunately, the loan officer we had was one of the worst. This was Nura's opportunity to shine. She was there for us coordinating with and educating the loan officer as well as holding the deal together with the seller and seller's agent. (She even offered her own loan officer contact as a backup in case things really went wrong.) As if all of this was not complicated enough, we also had a long vacation in Europe during this time. Throughout the bank issues as well as the negotiations, inspection and closing, Nura was an accomplished negotiator. She stayed in regular communication with all parties keeping us on track and working to clear whatever obstacles arose. Thanks Nura! We really like our new home! read more

It was pure luck that we landed with Nura Motal as our real estate agent on a recent purchase. We'd sold a home with the Mcguire Team and she was handpicked to represent us on the buying side. In this competitive market, I was concerned that our short timeframe would make it impossible to find a home. I need not have worried. Professional, efficient and organized, Nura quickly lined up several homes to view, one which we immediately fell in love with. After analyzing the competition, she calmly guided us through the aggressive bidding process and soon, we were in escrow on our 1st choice. Even with our 40 years of experience in local real estate, Nura's dedication, experience and skill were invaluable. She managed every step of the critical closing process while buying this home. Top this off with her warm genuine charm and you have a highly recommended agent! read more

Nura was very patient during my home search. I had a very specific and limited budget, which is difficult for south Orange County. She stuck with me for months and showed me every property I requested to see. She also linked me to a lender for pre-approval and for the loan (which worked out great!). After we found a condo that could work, she answered every question that arose and advocated for me with the seller. She's been available even after I settled in for any questions that have turned up. I found Nura on Zillow and got lucky that she was so nice and helpful. I will stay in touch for any future needs and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a listing agent/realtor. read more

I can not say enough great things about Nura Motal! She not only facilitated the purchase of our new home off market, she sold our existing home for a record breaking price in our city. I truly do not know what we would have done without her. Nura is an amazing realtor, after several years of looking and not finding our dream home on our own, Nura was able to find our dream home, negotiate an off market purchase all while preparing to list our home. She always answered her phone, she was calm and supportive and held our hands through the entire process. Nura never left our side! You would think that buying a home while selling your home at the same time would be unbearable, it wasn't, it was the best thing that could have happened for my husband and I and we are forever grateful to Nura. You would be a fool to not hire this woman for any realestate needs you may have, she will not disappoint. She made our dream come true!! read more

An A+ experience with Nura Motal. She was extremely competent, hard working and genuinely interested in helping me and my wife. Nura assisted us to buy a home in Laguna Niguel, during a very hot market, while we lived far away, in the Bay Area. She took the time to learn what we wanted but also gave us direct feedback whenever our expectations didn't match the reality of the market. Knowing that my wife and I couldn't dedicate much time on tours, she tenaciously and carefully planned a weekend with over a dozen viewings of well-selected properties. She guided us through the process of generating a tailored compelling offer, which was selected by the seller. Nura spent the time to get to know the seller's motivations and thus was able to creatively brainstorm terms that the seller cared about. We felt confident during the entire closing process as Nura was there to guide us through it. We closed on time and with no complications, to a large degree due to Nura's proactive attitude and work style. I strongly recommend Nura as an agent! read more

I have worked with hundreds of agents over the years and Nura is one of the best of the best. She always has her clients best interests in minds and is one of the top negotiators in the business. If you are looking to sell or buy you cannot go wrong with Nura!! read more

Nura was recommended to us by two different friends, who sold and bought homes with her help.  We spoke with many realtors after we decided to sell our home. What impressed us the most about Nura was her confidence, preparation and presentation of her overall strategy.  She listened to our needs intently, and spent a good amount of time walking us through different scenarios.  When she presented her plan, we could tell she invested quite a bit of time formulating it.  This wasn't a cookie-cutter presentation or strategy.  After we selected Nura, the plan was instantly put into action. The McGuire team partially staged our home and made it look amazing.  Nura flawlessly managed dozens of showings and represented our home very well.  She communicated with us constantly, which we really appreciated.  She navigated the sales, negotiation and escrow processes to perfection.  Selling a home can be an emotional and stressful time, but Nura made the entire experience fun and easy.  We got to know Nura on a personal level and consider her a friend.  In fact, I think we spent more time talking about other things besides real estate.  We could tell early on that she cares about people and wants to help.  She didn't see selling our home as a transaction, but rather as the beginning of a long-lasting relationship. It was nice to have Nura in our corner.  If you are thinking about selling your home or buying a home, do yourself a favor and call Nura.  You'll be glad you did. -- Garrett & Hayley S. read more

Nura did an amazing job at finding a home for me. My home was falling out of escrow with another buyer and she swooped in like a ninja and I had my house key before I even knew it! She is honestly one of the most professional and nicest people I had pleasure to work with. She was always quick at answering emails and messages, went above and beyond at finding information about the home and how to deal with possible issues that arose during home inspection. She was always available to show the property no matter how many times I requested, and she always and always accommodated to my busy schedule. Not only was she a real-estate agent, but she was also a psychologist who calmed me down and friend who supported me. I always felt that I was in good hands and I definitely would would love to work with her in the future! read more

Nura helped us sell our home and buy our dream home. Her expertise and knowledge of the market got us $95,000 over asking price on our sale! She is amazing to work with. She doesn't skip a beat and constantly goes above and beyond. read more

Nura is a true gem who made the house buying experience fantastic. She is so organized, a great communicator and will give an honest opinion when asked. She continued to go above and beyond, which really eased the stress of an extremely competitive market. Nura never made us feel uncomfortable with our budget and guided us throughout the process. She helped with the offer letter, and was experienced with communicating with sellers agents. She continued to be persistent and keep our spirits up when it seemed like we may never find a house! Once we were in escrow, Nura continued to be diligent to speed along the short timeframe. She even set us up with amazing vendors so were able to start some improvements as soon as we closed! Nura took initiative and was always 3 steps ahead -- including negotiating with sellers after the appraisal came back before we even had to worry! Nura is savvy with her use of technology and overall a pleasure to work with! We can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Nura made the process of buying my first home smooth and hassle-free. She is very knowledgeable about real estate in the south Orange County area and made sure to accommodate my specific needs. She coordinated many different viewings into efficient itineraries between the two weeks I looked at properties and did so on extremely short notice. She is very friendly and personable, which made the intimidating task of searching for the right home much more pleasant and enjoyable. Once I landed on the home I wanted to purchase, she advocated on my behalf to get the price I wanted within my budget. She was there for me every step of the way through negotiating a final sale price to the closing of escrow. She continued to provide support and resolve all of the issues that came up during that process, always providing timely answers to all of the questions I had as a first time buyer with limited knowledge. Nura made it her priority to ensure that I had everything I needed to complete escrow successfully. The support and care she gives to her clients is top notch. I really appreciate everything she did to help me find the perfect house for my needs and within my budget. If you're in need of an amazing realtor, look no further and work with Nura. read more
