My daughter had a whole surprise birthday celebration for her fiancé and their friends. They rented…read moreHamilton cove with the excitement of his 30th bday! She got Covid on the Sunday before they were supposed to arrive on Friday. She called the minute she got a positive test to try and reschedule to a different time. Not asking for their money back, just to reschedule to when she didn't have Covid and could go virus free. They would not reschedule or refund because of Covid! He said he was done with Covid, couldn't save the place for them. She said she didn't want to come with Covid but she had a $950 deposit that she was going to loose! He hung up on her! So crazy that he wouldn't just roll her deposit of $950 to use at a different time when she was not contagious! Apparently, he doesn't care! I would be careful of the company that values the buck over the health and welfare of his clients!!

I'm not sure why the other reviewers had so much trouble. We rented one of Clarence's properties…read morewhile staying in Avalon for the weekend. He was very friendly and the place was great. It was a lot more comfortable than anyone expected. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath with a foldout couch in the living room. There was a wraparound balcony with a beautiful ocean view. The condo was centrally located on Metropole. It was a bit of a hike to walk the hill, but there was a flight of stairs you could use instead, that we affectionately deemed "rape alley". My only complaint was in regards to laundry. The washing machine was probably 30 years old and very tiny. It made it very hard to wash towels, etc. Checkout was at 10 AM on Sunday. The phone rang about 10 after. Instead of a nagging "don't forget to check out spiel", Clarence thanked us and wanted to make sure we had a nice time. I would certainly rent from him again. Definitely recommend.

We sent a check for the full amount and they sent us a receipt with a signed agreement saying there are no cancelations-money will be forfeited. This was on March 28, 2014. Flash forward a month and a half to May 7, 2014, and we get a call from Clarence stating that the owners have decided to stay in their place over 4th of July weekend, we can't stay there anymore. What??? We have other friends going that same weekend. We have made reservations for activities, cabana rental at Descanso, Flyer reservations, etc...you cashed our check and then come back and say we can't stay there. He offered us some crap place up the street for full price. No thanks. I called him and he had nothing to say. DON'T EVER USE THIS RENTAL PLACE. EVER! If I had read the first two reviews, I would have steered clear of them. We still haven't received our check back by the way. Thanks for ruining our 4th of July Weekend.

As a first-time buyer, I couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Christopher.

I'm so grateful for how seriously he took my wants and needs. If you're buying, he's the one you want in your corner.

I thought I would never end up buying a house...so when I found my dream home just randomly driving…read moreby one day, I realized I didn't have any knowledge of how the process work. While my parents introduced me to a family friend who was a real estate agent, I had no idea how to go about finding a loan officer! After digging through Yelp/Google, I stumbled upon Meridox Mortgage that had stellar reviews and took a chance. I called Meridox and was put in touch with Trung Tran. I let him know that I didn't have any knowledge of how the house-buying process works, but he was incredibly supportive and assured me he would walk me through every step. Shortly after we finished talking on the phone, he sent me a list of items to provide for the pre-approval letter. Trung's turnaround was quick. I sent him my information in the evening and got the letter the next morning. My real estate agent used this letter to draft the offer...it was accepted! After my offer was accepted, the rest of the process was somewhat nebulous, but my real estate agent worked closely with Trung to help me through. Trung was with me every step of the way. He patiently explained how my monthly mortgage payment and closing costs were calculated and even helped me negotiate a home insurance offer. He even kept a close eye on the market and advised me when I should lock in the rate. I thought home buying would be more stressful, but it wasn't as bad as I thought because Trung made every step clear and was very on top of deadlines. From pre-approval to loan closing, it took just one month! Thank you Trung for being so diligent and patient in helping me secure my dream home! Trung was also very proactive in reaching out to me a few months later when interest rates dropped by about 1%. I had the honor of working with Trung again for my refinance, and it was also efficient and painless! I recommended Trung to my coworker recently when she was looking to buy a condo. Highly recommended to anyone who is in a market for a house to look into Meridox!! Thanks again for your hard work, Trung!!!

I cannot recommend them enough. Linh is an amazing service provider, and she will meet you at your…read morelevel. A little background: I did 2 house purchases, and 1 house sale by myself without a realtor before engaging Meridox. I didn't need handholding, because I was not a first-time buyer. I wanted an advisor who can give me an honest opinion as to pricing, knows the neighborhoods, and can negotiate with the seller's agent. Linh was so on top of things. She understood that I was busy and scheduled multiple showings for me on weekends. She mapped out our route, so we can be efficient with time. She never asked me to consider any property that was outside my price range or not what I was looking for. I was able to knock out many home viewings with her, and we put in a couple of offers. I saw a house that fell out of escrow. I messaged her, and she was immediately on it. She showed me the house, called the seller's agent, and basically convinced the seller to take my offer that was a tad below listing that either that same day or the next. (OC is a hot market, so this was an incredible deal! My other offers all sold above listing.) She was incredibly responsive, super sharp, and very easy to work with. I used Meridox as my mortgage broker as well and used them again to refinance a year later. Very seamless and easy transaction. Forget all the agents who claim to "treat you like family."
