This review will be a long one because I truly want people to know how much Josh will do for his…read moreclients. Of all the people we have met during the process of buying a home, Josh is easily the person we are most grateful for. I cannot say enough good things about him. My husband and I are first time homebuyers which means we had a million questions, a million and one concerns and worries, and so Josh got a million and one texts from us. He answered each one realistically with his insane amount of knowledge, kindly and most importantly patiently. Josh went above and beyond in every single process - sending us potential homes based on our wants/needs that were discussed with him in our introductory call, coordinating and attending last minute showings with us all over Orange County, advising us with offer negotiations and gave us tactics that got our offer accepted when we finally found a home we loved, guided us through the entire inspections process, handled our wants for credits/repairs and got us to closing. Josh's involvement in the every step of this process is never bare minimum. He didn't just come to the showings with us, he spends time pointing out things that we may not have known as first time buyers (potential resale issues, deferred maintenance that we'd have to absorb later on, what's important for safety vs cosmetic things that we can change ourselves). He even recommended his preferred lender to us who helped us close in 21 days (formally, but our paperwork and everything was done in 18 days!!). He also arranged and recommended most of our inspectors (we did a total of 8 inspections between general and specialty) who did an amazing job on giving us an idea of what we were walking into. He's there with us the whole time, giving us second opinions on what to actually be worried about vs what is a bit doom and gloom. You can tell he really cares about his work and his clients. My husband & I actually found Josh from his podcast where he posted a extremely detailed step-by-step guide on how to buy a home in California. It was so educational, detailed and easy to understand which is exactly what it's like working with Josh. If you are a first time home buyer (or really any buyer/seller) who wants to work with someone who understands real estate and the market, will have your back, advocate for your wants, has a wonderful network, and is honest and kind and phenomenal at what he does, Josh is your agent.

When we first moved to Yorba Linda, we instantly fell in love with the city. We were already…read morefollowing Josh Alexander for his many local tips and news, so when it came time to search for a bigger house we knew Josh should be the first person we should talk to in helping find our next home while staying in Yorba Linda. In our first conversation, he really listened to what we were looking for, what were our must haves, and what were our compromises. With his advice and insights, he gave us a good idea of what to expect in the current Yorba Linda housing market. We truly felt he was getting to know us as people to help us find a home fit for us. Josh's communication is also excellent, he is professional and also very friendly and personable. He knows exactly when and how often to check-in, catch up, or share updates as we looked at listings. Anytime we had a question, Josh was prompt in responding and thoughtful in his insights. Once we had our sights on a potential home, Josh made sure to give us advice that made us confident in our decision making and that we were comfortable with each step. We never felt rushed or pressured, if anything Josh was very patient with us as we were stressing about making a big decision overall. He gave us our time to think, answer any questions we had, all while making sure we were staying on track with the process. With an offer in, we felt confident that Josh had our best interest in mind and we feel like we got the best value in the negotiation process. There was a lot of back and forth, a lot of paperwork and signatures, but Josh always took the time to explain everything so we fully understood. The home buying process is never easy, but Josh and his team kept everything very organized, communicating when each step was ready and when it needed to be completed by. Going beyond the home buying process, Josh also shared his personal contacts with various local trades for any inspections, repairs, or other work we were looking into either during or after escrow. By the end of it, we truly felt like we got the best value we could have from purchasing the home and are extremely excited to move-in! We're also excited that we'll basically continue to be Josh's neighbors and keep checking on his page for new local tips! Josh Alexander is definitely someone we'll keep in our contacts for future and will fully recommend to anyone we know looking for a home in Yorba Linda.

Missy Wiesen found us our current home, which we love. It was our second transaction with Missy and…read moreher partner Jon Pugh. And with both moves, we could not have been happier working with them. Recently, however, it looked like we might have to move again. Being retired and at the whims of the rollercoaster stock market, we had decided the best way to preserve our nest egg was to sell and move to a less expensive home, where we could pay cash, saving the monthly mortgage. We called Missy, and immediately she was on our doorstep, with Jon on FaceTime. And to our amazement, the two of them told us there was no way they were going to help us sell our house! In looking at and reworking our budget to go forward, they explained that we had overlooked what a great investment we were -- literally -- sitting in. Missy promised to run the numbers so that we could make a more informed decision. Within two days she had sent us an extremely detailed summary of our options: If we wanted to sell, we were under-estimating our potential profit, and this was backed up by a listing of several comps along with notes on how our house compared. Then she presented other options: what a reverse mortgage could mean for us; or perhaps we should consider moving with our daughter to a house with an ADU for us. But if we decided not to sell, Missy had given us a solid, detailed rundown of how our house was expected to appreciate over the next 20 years. The options were overwhelming at first, but as we carefully went through each, working out the numbers, we came to a happy decision. They were absolutely correct. At this stage, it would not be worth putting our house on the market; the money we would make doing so, even invested wisely in the long run, could not match the appreciation we could expect from our real estate asset. So if you would like to meet a realtor who will only sell your house if it's the right thing to do...let me introduce you to Missy Wiesen @ The Pugh Group. A truly lovely, caring, really fun lady (oh, and she's also a great realtor).

We really appreciate his insight into the market and eagerness to understand our goals. He thinks about the market very rationally with a grounding in its economics, beyond just the soft side of home style, finishes, and location. Natalie Ness assisted us in finding a rental to land in while we figure out where we might want to settle longer-term. She was super prepared and found many good options to visit in our two days together. She really made the difference in our move. I wasn't getting any traction on my own but by the end of two days with her we had a lease and we are very happy with where we are living. Both Jon and Natalie are communicative and helpful without being pushy or overbearing. Kudos all around, great team.

She recommended me to Erick but I was hesitant because he looked so young. But because I trusted my friend, I decided to give Erick a call. Oh boy! I was so surprised. His experience and approach is awesome. He showed me multiple homes and now I can say I am finally in escrow where we will be closing in 2 days!! I definitely recommend him! Thank you Erick!

Alex truly went out of his way to make sure everything was in order and was happy with my decision. He would talk to sales and builders to fight for me, which is rare!

He found us our home in Westminster during a sellers market where every home sold, sold in a day and had 15 back up offers and bidding wars were the norm of the day. He helped us step in when a deal blew up and our loan approval and cash down payment carried a lot of clout. We got a lot for our money on the buy side. He sold the same home 17 years later during a buyers market where low balling and underbidding was the norm of the day. We had to sell in a hurry as we had made a bid on a newly constructed home and we were given 60 days to close the deal or loose the opportunity. He got us pretty good value given the "fire sale" nature of the transaction. He negotiated a no repairs offered sale and our home had lots of differed maintenance. He definitely earned his commission on the buy side through his expert negotiation skills by getting us a $30,000 credit for some misrepresentations that occurred during the buy side transaction. He has always been there for us 24 / 7 and I could not recommend him highly enough.

It always felt like Chris had our best interests in mind, and his guidance helped us stay focused on the bigger picture and what was best for our family. We came across some challenges and difficult decisions along the journey, but Chris's expertise put us in a position to get exactly what we wanted at the end of the day. We would not have ended up with our house without him. Chris and his team also did a great job navigating an escrow and closing with a challenging listing party, keeping things moving with a positive attitude and compensating for their lack of effort by going the extra mile. He is extremely professional, and we never had any doubts about everything being handled properly on our side. We honestly will miss working with Chris despite the stress of buying a house. We would definitely recommend him as both a buyer's and seller's agent to our friends and family!
