They are very knowledgeable of the area, and they also live in Laguna Woods. My journey started back in June 2023 when I took the LW bus tour with some friends to see the entire community. The tour provided a general overview and impression of the community, the beautiful grounds and the amenities. The part that was missing from the LW bus tour was information about the business details, how it all worked and the next steps to learn about a property. The tour guide suggested that I find a relator to help me learn about the leasing and buying process. I found Jon and Kathy Wallin after reading their yelp reviews. I called Jon and he suggested I come for a visit. In September 2023, Jon and Kathy gave me a personal tour and showed me a few properties and the community. It provided a great opportunity to learn, ask questions about co-ops and the real estate process. I really enjoyed the tour and knew then I would seriously consider moving to Laguna Woods in 2024. Jon and Kathy kept in touch with me for the months after the tour to see if I needed anymore information during this time. June 2024, I decided to sell my home in Los Angeles and start planning a move to Laguna Woods. Jon and Kathy helped me find a place to rent for a 3 to 4 months while I looked for a place to buy. This proved to be a huge advantage to live there and learn about the different neighborhoods and look at properties. November 2024, I moved to a rental and started looking to buy. January 2024, I purchased a home and closed end of February Jon and Kathy were invaluable during the entire real estate transaction, inspection and HOA process to make this as seamless as possible. They are professional and so generous with their time, and I couldn't have navigated the process without all their support and kindness. I highly recommend Jon and Kathy Wallin to help you to find a home in Laguna Woods.

Reached out for realtors in Mission Viejo via Yelp since I don't live in the area and…read more I was contacted by Kathe. I explained that I had a distressed property that I needed to sell in Mission Viejo above the lake. Kathe understood where I was going with the sale and property and was quick to meet with me and quick to start bringing investors by to look at the property. Within days we had multiple cash offers and hit the "magic" number I needed for the sales price. The process was quick and Kathe made it so easy. She went above and beyond also checking on the vacant property when I wasn't in town. Kathe also helped me set up an estate sale at the property. When I say Kathe exceeded my expectations, that is truly an understatement. Kathe was freaking awesome! From start to finish; the process was simple and I was kept in the loop by her and her escrow company. Thanks again Kathe for the outstanding job you did. I cannot recommend Kathe enough when it comes to all your real estate needs.

From the very beginning, Theresa took the time to really understand what we were looking for and what mattered most to us. She never made us feel rushed or pressured, and instead approached everything with patience, honesty, and genuine care. It was clear that we weren't just another transaction--we were people she truly wanted to help. What stood out most to me was how responsive and thoughtful Theresa was throughout the entire process. No question was too small, and no concern was ever brushed aside. She always made sure we felt informed and confident in our decisions, which meant a lot during such an important moment. Beyond that, Theresa is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. Whether it was navigating negotiations, handling unexpected challenges, or offering practical advice, she consistently went above and beyond to make sure everything worked out in our best interest. I'm genuinely grateful we had the chance to work with Theresa, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. You'll be in excellent hands.

When we wanted to sell our home in Fullerton, we interviewed three different agents and team Liz was hands and shoulders better than the other two. They identified areas that needed to be improved in the house and got us quotes for painting, power washing, carpet/tile cleaning and repair, and carpet replacement. They made everything very easy for us in what is naturally a stressful process. When we moved out of the property, they kept and eye on it and ensured that everything that needed looking after was taken care of. After the house was on the market, they followed up with the agents of prospective buyers, managed the offers and asked all our questions about disclosures. Their team is a joy to work with and we were very pleased with the outcomes.

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.

When it comes to finding someone who will work for you, Vickie checks all the boxes. We were looking to close escrow within a tight timeframe and Vickie made sure that nothing was missed. She coordinated between escrow, title, seller, vendors and us on countless occasions far exceeding what the expected responsibilities would typically be of a realtor. Vickie not only fulfills her responsibilities, but she anticipates the next question you will ask and even answers the questions you don't think of asking. Most importantly, Vickie is a great communicator. She made sure that we were up to date on every single detail of the transaction, big or small. We felt confident throughout the purchase process.

We both have very high standards for people we work with, and Vickie has set a new standard for how real estate agents should be. When it was time for us to make an offer on a house in Yorba Linda that had multiple interested parties, Vickie was on top of it. Her fun, bubbly and approachable personality not only makes her a joy to work with, it also comes in handy during negotiations. She was able to connect with the sellers agent and relayed valuable information that helped us present a competitive and fair offer. Instead of asking us to make a high offer to outbid the other offers, Vickie was strategic and recommended different approaches to make our offer stand out. And it did. The whole process was a breeze and she handled all of the communication and scheduling with inspectors, fumigation, and advocated for us to have the sellers fix everything that came out of the inspection report. Vickie is truly an exceptional realtor and anyone buying a home in Orange County would be lucky to work with her.
