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.

Having worked with other agents in the past, Troy and his team were a cut above. We were blown away…read morewith the level of service, attention to detail and commitment to getting our house sold quickly and for the price we wanted. Not only is he an expert at selling homes, but the consultations and communication was superior. *Troy was a recommendation from family friends *Our first meeting, he came prepared and had clearly done his homework *Troy and his team helped us stage the home without spending extra money - this was very helpful and made a huge difference - Joe helped us and he was excellent at what he does *Photography was smooth and of excellent quality *Another team member came by to help "pre-inspect" so that we could fix things ahead of time *A third team member did open house so that would could promote and collect feedback *The online support team in Seattle also ran facebook ads and did email blasts behind the scenes *The transaction coordinator was available at all times to answer questions, collect paperwork and move things along *This is huge: Troy did diligent followup with every showing to collect feedback and promote the features and benefits of our home, this definately contributed to the overall success *At negotiation - wow were we glad to have Troy on our side of table.

I've closed multiple deals, (buying and selling) with Troy over the past 10 years. Troy is always…read morea pleasure to work with and consistently impresses me with his work ethic. Troy makes it a point to stay in contact and works to resolve issues with outside entities, (i.e. title and escrow). Troy keeps tabs on all the details to ensure the process moves foreword quickly and efficiently. Troy uses the latest technology, which make signing documents electronically and sending them off to third parties super convenient. I was able to conduct a large part of these transactions on my phone... What a time saver. Thanks Troy!

We were referred to Matt during our most recent home purchase. He lives/works in Aliso Viejo and…read moreproved his local expertise covers Aliso, RSM, and Mission Viejo. We assume he is equally familiar with most/all of the South OC housing market, but those were the cities we focused on. We really connected w/ Matt. Good guy and very easy going. He was very consultative as we looked at houses and ran through the pros & cons. When we finally pulled the trigger on a house, he was advocate from offer through closing. A good agent works hard for their money. MATT WILL GIVE CASH AT CLOSE IF YOU STRIKE A DEAL WITH HIM, SO DEFINITELY ASK. A 1% discount on a typical $750K OC house is $7500 in your pocket. The seller pays commissions, so you'd either be getting 1% of your sale price back (if seller) or 1% of the seller's sales price in your pocket toward closing, etc (if buyer). Anyway, we recommend. Do yourself a favor and get a good independent agent who can give you cash back at close. Big real estate brokerages can't (or won't) do that. Their loss, your gain. PS: Matt is an ex-NFL football player. Ask him to show you his Superbowl ring.

John Sturdevant is the realtor you want to make your dreams come true. For over two years my…read morehusband and I were looking to get into a community we wanted to make our "forever home". 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. He worked hard and fought for us to get the best deal, he also made sure we got the lowest payments and interest rate. 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. Thank you so much John we appreciate you!!!!!!!

If you're thinking about listing or buying in the future, choosing Billy will give you the peace of mind that he will have your back.

I was so pleased to have met and been able to work with Yves Le Bienvenu, owner/broker at YBROKER…read morein Dana Point. We met in Le Tip and when I was ready to sell my empty nest home in Irvine and downsize I knew just the person to do it. Amiable in nature, Yves also lives by that ethical, caring character that so many Realtors only claim to possess. His dedication and work ethic is apparent in every case I've seen has gone above and beyond the call of duty, helping with the rigors of selling/moving: garage sales, staging the home, dropping goodwill items, he even came to help me touch up my baseboards! He helped me through a very trying escrow ( 2, in fact!) and was knowledgeable and professional throughout. At a time when so many lesser agents have fallen by the wayside he maintains his business primarily through referrals and to me that says quite a lot! H Willner -LNiguel

Christopher Shih, Torrance, CA…read more Sheri has been managing three rental properties (two in Irvine, one in San Juan Capistrano) for us for over ten years. She has been extremely helpful in vetting new tenants, taking care of maintenance problems, and collecting rents for us through direct deposit into our bank account. Because of all her help, we can take frequent trips with no worries, knowing that the management of these properties is in good hands. Sheri is also excellent in getting service people to do necessary repairs and needed upgrades, at very reasonable prices, which enable us to keep these rentals in very good conditions. In addition, she interfaces with homeowners associations if there are problems or to get approvals for such things as landscaping, fences, paint colors, etc - all fairly time consuming tasks. Our only regret is that we did not have Sheri's help in managing these rentals a lot earlier. We highly recommend Firenze Property Management for managing of rental properties,

In Spring of 2010 my husband and I Sold and Bought a home in Irvine with Steve representing us as…read moreour Agent. Both deals went pretty much flawless and our new home is just beautiful. We recently in 2012 had Steve represent us again to purchase two investment homes one in Huntington Beach and one in Dana Point and again Steve got us through closing on both properties with total satisfaction. We needed to get these homes leased. We thought, hey, nothing to this management thing, what's the big deal, collect the rent and you're done. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is a heck of a lot of bothersome interactions and arrangements for routine issues (all the normal and then some) with the management process not to mention that Landlords and Tenants are bound by very stringent guidelines and legal conditions that cannot be overlooked. After two years this past April of 2014 we had enough and turned over the management responsibilities to Sheri and we are so very happy. Sheri makes our lives easier now, but we know how hard Sheri works (from our own hands on experience) so we are very grateful and we know we are in good hands with Sheri and Firenze Property Management. I can tell you from experience Sheri earns every penny she makes. Property Management is the toughest job out there! But, Sheri is very experienced and this is something that only a very few Agents out there know anything about, believe me I know this to be a fact, I have had numerous conversations with Agents about (Property Sales and Property Management) and they are very distinctively separate and specialized endeavors. Thank-you Sheri! The Cohen's
