Doug Echelberger was extremely knowledgeable about the housing market and the specific homes we toured in various neighborhoods. Doug negotiated favorable terms across the board on the home I ended up purchasing. Other members of the Inhabit team were always available to help me see the home so I could make plans for improvements. Jen Katke of JK Interiors works with the group and has been amazing at hiring contractors who started work the night we closed escrow. Truly an exceptional experience and far beyond what I have experienced with my prior 6 home purchases.

We used Ryan as a Buyer's agent when we moved to San Clemente. We selected him because we met him…read moreat an open house some years ago and he impressed us with his thorough knowledge of San Clemente's many neighborhoods. If you know no one in San Clemente, Ryan is the guy to use. He's a second-generation San Clemente resident and his parents still live there. He's been in the business long enough to know how to get things done, who to refer you to if you need quality remodeling work done after close of escrow, and what issues to consider in the process. When we sat down with him at our first meeting he spent about 40 minutes listening to what we were after, like a matchmaker trying to put us in the house of our dreams. He took us around to some prospects, handled all the details of the offer in a professional way and was diligent in his communications throughout escrow. In short, he's everything you'd want in a buyer's agent, and I'm sure he brings the same focus to the game when he's a listing agent. Fortunately he was able to put us in a house that we hopefully will never have to use him for that. He also has a GREAT YouTube channel that even includes information on various San Clemente neighborhoods and other useful information on the home buying process.

He spotted our house the day it went up for sale and it has one of the most amazing views in San Clemente!! Houses like ours go quick and Ryan was ON IT! He negotiated with the sellers agent and we were able to get the property, even with several offers on the property. Ryan walked us through each step of the process and, bonus, even helped us find a builder for our remodel! The house looks amazing - our dream house! We were floored with Ryan's enthusiasm and experience. He truly loves his city of San Clemente with all of his heart! He only wants the best for his clients and he will ensure that you get the BEST service possible. Trust Ryan Schramm for all of your real estate needs!

I only met with Jeff and Sophia once while in CA from TX. Everything was handled over email/text. They did exactly what they promised, and every step was communicated almost in real time. We had several offers within 3 days of listing our property and in escrow within 5. Thanks to Jeff and his team.

WARNING STAY AWAY!!! Our Relator was Samantha Meyer (Marsh) (Lic. #0225261954), and it ended in a…read moreterrible experience!! We told Samantha everything upfront on what we needed to sell the house for. She assured us that based on her comps she could get us there. We did her recommended upgrades to the house, and found a buyer. Unfortunately the appraisal came back $25,000 short of what we were asking. How can you mess up that bad as a realtor to get that far off!! We had to take the house off the market. To make matters worse Samatha extorted us financially. She stated she did not require payment for photos or obtaining HOA docs in our contract together. However, when we took the home off the market she threatened to charge us her commission of $14,000 if we did not reimburse her for the photos and HOA docs (Over $1,000!) How is this ethical? It's not!!! STAY AWAY FROM SAMANTHA MEYER!!

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.

We are SO GRATEFUL to have found Nick Ahrens and The Reed Team through a review on Zillow. From our…read morefirst conversation with Nick, we knew we were in good hands buying our first home. My husband and I are from the Midwest, so we are not as familiar with Southern California as most. Nick took the time to talk us through every area, make recommendations based on what "vibe" we were looking for, and really help us narrow down our search. Being that this was going to be our first house, we weren't quite sure what to expect, and feel lucky to have found him. The moment we saw our house pop up on the MLS, we knew it was "the one". In a market where houses are getting multiple offers, and buyers are having to make offers on 3+ houses before getting an acceptance, Nick managed to help us get an acceptance on the first house we made an offer on- our dream home! He worked tirelessly to get the deal done, and we could not be happier! He talked us through every step of the way, made excellent recommendations on what we should include to better our chances of acceptance, and was on the phone at all hours making it happen. Not only that, but he partnered us with a lender that helped to make the process seamless, and made sure to get on a zoom call with us on a Sunday night to ensure the financing was secured. I cannot recommend Nick and The Reed Team enough!

Darren Shepherd from the Reed Team stepped up to the plate because he was an Aliso Viejo native. From our previous experience with an agent from the buyer side of things, we knew what we did and didn't like about the home buying experience. From the first time meeting with Darren, we were very impressed with his knowledge. From search criteria, to what to fix, what not to fix, what to price things at and when to sell. With that is also his personality that you are just drawn to. Easy to talk to, and always getting back to you regardless of what questions you may have. On top of this, we're in a pandemic and Covid doesn't make anything easier. A lot more protocols and safe distancing, the team members were very health conscious. We listed our home, got 50 viewings over a weekend, 15 offers (more, but we cut it off), and accepted and closed within 30 days. Darren helped with the selection process by weighing in the pro's and con's of each and even helping to look at sneaky tactics that agents will use on the contracts. It was an eye opener that surely only an expert could see. After the contracts were signed, the Reed Team members like Crystal Stichter and Amy Jones stepped up to the plate and handled all the operational work. The Escrow team they worked with was also smooth sailing. My wife and I highly recommend Darren Shepherd and the Reed Team. 5/5 Stars!

This was a long and tedious search in today's difficult market and while we lost faith that it might never happen on several occasions, Christian never gave up. He and his team were patient, dedicated and industrious, ultimately finding us a home that was off market and checked every one of our boxes. Once we closed, the Talavera team didn't stop there, they have been involved in referring contractors and resources to help us with our renovations. It's evident that our happiness is their ultimate goal. While Christian's team found us our forever home, if we ever find ourselves in the position to buy or sell a house we will look no further than the Talavera team.
