Tom Bashe is the absolute best at what he does in my opinion…read more We bought and sold my first home with Tom and have had several successful real estate transactions since. You cannot substitute the experience and aptitude this gentleman has. His experience has been apparent in every purchase we have done with him. Small things you may not think of that may be important to your purchase in the long term. His knowledge of the process and what should be done and when. (For us he's found other parties process mistakes and corrected them to help close a deal) His attention to detail. His patience. His connections with service providers. The way he communicates. We truly can't be happier and grateful enough for all the guidance and help we have received from him when buying and selling our first home, to helping us get into our dream home. IMO you want to work with someone who is intelligent, kind, patient, and can truly guide you through each step for what can be a challenging process. For us that person is 100%, Tom Bashe.

He had a book like binder with our home in it and then all the comps and info I needed to help me make an informed decision on listing price. Other realtors just shoot them out in an email but Tom had made this very professional binder like book for us!!! Right there said a lot!!! Second of all he cared what we wanted to make in our pocket not just selling it and not caring what we got. From that day forward Tom said he would show us offers that came in but he held out caring for my sister and I first, and made sure that what he sold it for would make what we wanted DOWN to the final dollar in our pocket. That's honesty right there. I was blown away! He was always free to talk to and text with. He answered in minutes. I never had to wait for him. Everything he told us was honest!!!!! He never changed anything up or twisted information it was honest down to the last document. Nothing he ever said was different from what was promised. Our transaction was smooth he did all docs online and if we wanted to we could come in to the office too! I would HIGHLY recommend Tom as a realtor if u want an HONEST realtor down to the penny!!!! I was stressed Mom just died, Tom was compassionate with us and made this STRESS free selling moms home. I haven't had a business dealing like this in years. Tom you are to be commended. Thank you for all you did for us. Thank you is not enough, Sharon Ellis

Because of this I wasn't able to be completely involved in everything, but that didn't matter because Chris has many contacts and was able to effectively handle everything that needed to be done all while getting us a very good offer within a very quick time frame. Once we began the selling process, we were able to get a solid offer and close everything within about one month. I couldn't be happier with my experience with Chris and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the OC area. Also, he is very responsive with both texts and calls and will keep you up to date with things before you even reach out. Thank you, Chris, for a great experience! One more note - this was not my first experience buying/selling a property, but I have to add that Chris has been the best realtor I have worked with by far. Smooth and easy process with him from day one.

I now consider him not just my forever realtor, but also a friend. I'd recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate agent. Thank you so much Chris!!!

I initially met John Contabile during an open house, at which time I had a broker recommended by…read morethe loan agent, and had an online company open a few homes. Nevertheless, the qualities of professionalism, responsiveness, initiative, experience and an affable personality made it immediately apparent that John would be the best broker to find a home. He even went so far as to suggest an office conference to review the standard loan docs, and contingencies, before I actually wrote an offer (which I foolishly declined). John did actually find me the house - as his online service proactively sends emails, on an almost daily basis, of homes (and condos/townhomes), when they first come on the market. I would recommend him unequviocally.

He questioned me as to exactly what I was looking for and kept in constant contact whenever something became available. In a very competitive market we sadly got outbid a few times, but John never gave up. And then it happened, he found us the perfect place. We had used two previous realtors who just were not "quick on the draw" and so we are very appreciative of John. If you're looking for a realtor who will get the job done then you are needing John Sturdevant.

The process to sell our old house was much easier than a I thought with John by our side, he got the most highest bid and put a good amount of money in our pocket for the down payment on our new home.

My family and I recommend John 100% and I will hire him again for my kids future home. Even now that all the deals are over he keeps checking if we liked our new house and helps me fix any concerns or issues. Like I said he is part of our family.

If you are looking for the realtor of your dreams look no further. Just contact Colin Farris!…read more After a grueling two years nursing my only son, I inherited his very neglected house and dreaded the selling process. From our first encounter Colin delved deep into the case and never got distracted by competing priorities. He was especially good at always keeping me in the loop regarding developments, and patiently helping me with the challenging "disclosure" process. He also worked cooperatively with my out-of-town referral realtor and together they bent over backwards to protect my interests in the sale. A distressed property was sold in less than three weeks at an excellent price, thanks to Colin's diligence from beginning to end. I do not usually write reviews but, in this instance, I am happy to endorse Colin as an exception in a very competitive field. Pauline, San Juan Capistrano (Posted on behalf of Pauline)

My husband and I have dreamed of owning our first home for 15 years and we finally made the leap…read moreafter having our second little bundle of joy and were in need of a larger space and a family-friendly neighborhood. Colin Farris was EXACTLY who we needed on our side to be searching our desired neighborhoods and getting us in to see properties (even amidst Covid!) early. Colin is knowledgeable about south OC, but San Juan Capistrano especially. Colin found our (new!) home as a pocket listing from the listing agent, he sent us walk-thru videos before it was officially on the market. His quick, professional and kind communication with us as well as the listing agent allowed us to see the home that same day and we placed an offer than night. He was ready with all necessary paperwork, making the hardest part of the process as swift and simple as possible. Colin was always willing to offer further explanation on (any!) part of the process that felt confusing. Things move fast and he was always a step ahead of the game. We loved working with him because he is kind, generous with his time and professional, but ultimately we loved his love for what he does--he worked hard and fast to find us our perfect first home. I also love that he has a family and knows the value and safety and what we were looking for. Colin has a finish carpentry background, which gives him the perspective and experience while walking through a property that came in handy when we had questions about potential renovations, etc. I learned SO much just while walking through properties with him. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Colin and his team at Farris Residential. If you're looking for someone who is kind, cares deeply, communicates clearly and quickly, works hard, works fast, is motivated, and is an expert in the Orange County area and knows the business, Colin Farris is your realtor! Can't thank Colin enough for getting us our first home!!!

Posted this review based on only my dealing with John Lewis (owner and realtor) who is one of many…read morerealtors who work at this location. John Lewis left me in the rain literally.... I will explain exactly my first time home buyers experience. Back in 2008 I went to look for my first new home. You know that feeling if you bought before, and even if you had not bought you dream what the experience will be like... Like a Cinderella feeling going to a ball, the American Dream. I was a dream loan candidate no debt and a VA loan all ready so all we had to do was pick out the home. Sadly though we wanted San Diego the town we were looking at was a bit out of our price range, but the realtor was very nice and showed us some great homes. We were looking for a bit more for a bit less cost. Temecula was our second choice. We didn't have a realtor in Temecula and we saw this office. It wasn't busy at all, no clients that we could see at the time and we were met by John Lewis. We looked for a bit online and found a few prospects. All were foreclosures though at the time weren't most? We looked at them in person found one that was ok and decided let's put an offer in. This is where he only has his own best interest and if your a first time home buyer he will not look out for you. My fault for not knowing what I was getting in to buy a warning for ANY first time buyer as he will take advantage of you. He said well if you want to make an offer its good to put a little bit over asking price to let them know your a serious buyer. He paused and said you don't know how many other people have offers on the home and you can loose it. Back in 2008 I didn't know about Zillow or any other web based programs to show homes on the market. John showed us his MLS but didn't show us or tell us about facts on the home. One that it was on the market for a very long time, almost a year. That the price has dropped and he wants us to come in over. Sure he does, more profit for him. Once we put in our offer over asking price he said I know you have a VA loan but let me send you to my friend she can write up a better loan for you. Again my fault as I should have done a bit more homework. After this he was non-existent. So we bought the home, called John and asked how do we get the keys. He stated they are at your front door just go to your new home. It's pouring raining and we drive to the home and look everywhere for the keys. We're soaking wet, called him again and he said they should be right there... Finally he says, I'll be there in 20 minutes I have them right here. After making a great deal of money for just hours of work on us as a client this is how he treats us? Please if your a first time home buyer he does NOT have your best interest at heart. I have been much wiser and met many other realtors since then that will earn their commission not try to just get a sell. Last thing he said was if you send xxxx clients to me and they buy a home we will send you and your wife on a vacation. Since then I had 23 other friends buy a home and I recommended 0 to John. They all had very pleasant home buying experiences and are very happy with their purchase. Stay clear from this place they do not have to customers interest at heart. My first time home buying experience was a nightmare. Every time I had a question about my purchase after I accepted the purchase he was not there for me and I had to fend for my self. Don't use his "friend" who does loans either. There are fair and good loan brokers who will tell you up front the truth. Stay clear.
