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.

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.

She is always so lovely to work with. Pleasant, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We have been looking for a condo in this crazy market for the past 6-8 months and finally found one that was not even on the market yet. She has great communication and rapport with not only us but with selling agents we came into contact with. Without it, we would not have been notified of this property before it went on the market. Our escrow closed onetime and without a glitch. We always feel that Jessica works hard and is on our side always.

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.

Anna researched the neighborhoods that met our criteria and started sending us information about properties right away. We really appreciated the fact that she physically checked out the neighborhoods to make sure that they fit what we wanted. She also contacted the sellers' realtors to make sure that we had HOA and other financial information ahead of the timeline for making offers. We ended up buying two smaller properties and closing ahead of schedule. On the personal side, Anna is very responsive and very kind. Her response time for questions and concerns is incredible and her paperwork is impeccable. She helped us get through inspections and contracts sometimes almost line by line. Given the tight timelines between our sale and the purchase, having Anna represent us, saved us time, aggravation, and money.
