    My husband and I have worked with a number of different realtors over the past several years and…read moreVickie is by far the most sincere and kind but also effective and detail-oriented of them all. 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. I would not hesitate to use Vickie as my realtor again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced Orange County realtor who goes above and beyond for her clients.

She's knowledgable, organized, dependable, honest, and goes above and beyond in just above every aspect of the job. 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.

    We made the mistake of listing our home with a good friend , emphasis, unfortunately, on former…read more His strategy was to price the house low to create a bidding war. Sounded great in theory. In reality, after a month of lowball offers, deals falling apart, and absolutely none of the promised bidding-war fireworks, he suggested we reduce the price even further , despite similar homes, many not nearly as nice as ours, selling for more. We were completely perplexed. Every time we asked what was going on, there seemed to be another explanation about something supposedly wrong with the house, but never much acknowledgment that maybe , just maybe, the strategy itself wasn't working. At some point, when your beautiful home starts being treated like the last dented can in the clearance aisle, you know something has gone sideways. So we parted ways, took the house off the market for a few weeks, regrouped, and hired Kathe. The difference was immediate. From the moment Kathe walked through the door, she understood what made the home special. The custom woodwork, the huge back patio, the classic kidney-shaped pool, and all the little details that gave the house character. Instead of telling us what was wrong with it, she saw what was right with it. And we loved that. She brought in stagers, added her own personal touches, repositioned the home properly and , this is the part we particularly enjoyed, suggested we actually raise the asking price by $10,000 over our original listing. The minute the house hit the market, we received multiple offers. It sold in a freaking WEEK for nearly $40,000 more than what we had originally been asking. Talk about night and day. The entire experience with Kathe, albeit a very quick one, was an absolute pleasure. She understood the home, understood the market, and most importantly, knew how to present it in a way that made buyers see what we had always seen in it. We genuinely could not recommend her more highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. And when the day eventually comes to say goodbye to our current house, there won't be a dramatic realtor audition process. We're calling Kathe.

    We put our dream home on the market in Mission Viejo and got 8 offers with no turnover. Switched…read moreagents to Kathe and it was the most seamless transaction. Kathe knew the neighborhood, knew the potential buyers and just got to work. She raised the asking price and one week later we had multiple offers over asking. I truly think Kathe is an expert in her field and she knows Mission Viejo inside and out. I would not hesitate to recommend Kathe. It was night and day from our first realtor. Just a consummate professional with huge negotiation skills.

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.

I felt guided by using her as my agent and would recommend her to anyone who needs a little more help when searching for a home.

    We recently had to sell our parent's house in Mission Viejo. Due to market volatility and other…read morefactors, we needed to sell quickly but also wanted to get good value from the sale. After interviewing 4 sets of Realtors, we decided to work with Dave Gubler and IML Real Estate. Dave listened to our concerns and priorities and described his approach to marketing houses. His use of "disruptive digital marketing" and what he called "the juice" seemed like the right combination. We had a short window to get the house on the market and sold and Dave worked closely with us to arrange everything so that the open house happened just 6 weeks after we first met and 1 week after we finished the estate sale. Dave did a virtual staging which made it easier for us to clear out the house. After the first open house Dave received and shared with us 8 or so offers within the next few days and within the week we had 12 offers total to pick from. Dave had priced the house appropriately, but at a price we all agreed was a solid return. Due to all of Dave's marketing we had multiple offers and actually ended up with a higher sales price than we had hoped for. Throughout the process Dave and IML Real Estate bent over backward to answer our questions, make positive suggestions and help out in every way possible. It was a pleasure working with Dave, and we really appreciated that he listened to what we wanted and didn't try to push expensive remodeling when it was clear that it didn't fit our time-line or end goals. Dave's knowledge of the market in Mission Viejo, and his disruptive digital marketing helped us get our parent's house into a successful escrow at an excellent price just 8 weeks after we first met with him. During the same period, we saw multiple houses in the area on the market for months, often selling for much less than originally posted. We had an excellent experience with Dave and highly recommend him and IML Real Estate.

Dave put my house on the market at the same price that my former real estate agent had failed to sell the house at and he got us a full-price offer in less than a week. The house closed 30 days later. Dave made the difference through savvy marketing and an in-depth understanding of how to appeal to today's buyers. I cannot recommend Dave more highly!

She took us to so many viewings and open houses, I know we definitely had a wide variety when we narrowed down our options.

She really was Sheppard. I would use her again if she hadn't already done a perfect job finding us our forever home. I'll just be referring her to all my friends and family because I know she'll take care of them.
