We had worked with a different branch of Guarantee rate to buy our first home. We had such an…read moreamazing experience with Rob Sanchez. He always got back to you in an hour or two and always had open clear communication. We worked with Alan Ouye for our second home. He never picked up the phone on the first call. All of his voicemail boxes are full so you can't even leave a message. We told him the house we were buying was going to fall through so to not process a home inspection. He told us ok and that he'd save it for the next house. Well he never stopped the inspection so we had to pay for an inspection on a home we KNEW we were not going to get AND had openly communicated that to Alan. When we asked him what happened there was a long pause and then a flow of excuses. He overcharged us for that inspection and didn't say anything to us about it. In the long run, He actually didn't even process the refund, we had to call Rob Sanchez and ask him for help because Alan is completely unresponsive. I am left with the impression that Alan attempted to steal that money from us with out us knowing. Our experience was that Alan Ouye is all about himself.

After interviewing agents, I elected to list my home with Remax of North Orange County. Rachel's enthusiasm and energy came through in her communications and every day dealings with me and every aspect of my transactions. She understood my fears and concerns regarding the daunting task of selling, staging, purchasing a home and packing up 17 years of my life. I had plenty of trepidation on my part, only because of the thought of a physical move, but through it all Rachel was professional, considerate and stepped up in many many ways that were not typical of your everyday real estate agent ! Rachel succeeded !! She researched, marketed and sold my home within 30 days obtaining my exact listing price, which by the way was the highest offer in quiet sometime in my area for the square footage! AWESOME!! Rachel then found me the perfect home to move to. (Rachels Pic # 2 ) My purchase and the timing of my offer have put me in a good position already from an equity standpoint, so I could not be happier. I could not say enough positive things about my real estate experience with Rachel Holburn. It is not often that you will find a genuinely honest real estate agent who truly wants whats best for the client. Rachel is willing to go that extra mile to ensure that her clients are engaged, kept well informed and are in good hands. Rachel works hard to establish that level of confidence in her clients and she exceeded my expectations. The real estate industry will benefit from Rachel's contributions for sure.

He went above and beyond the call of duty and was honest and straightforward about the process. From North Long Beach to Old Town Pasadena to The South Bay, Ian laid the groundwork for our house tours and kept pressing forward despite strong headwinds - misleading listings and some uncommunicative seller agents. He also was willing to use new real estate listing applications to help us with our search. When one fell short, he showed us another one. He had us set up with apps that were real-time with the MLS listings, which many open-source applications don't have. JP and I ended up with a wonderful town home in the South Bay in an excellent locations with great walkability scores. We couldn't do it without him. If you're a military veteran, Ian is on the preferred list for USAA and I can see why. Thank you to Ian and to USAA. Semper Fidelis! - Julie Sohn & Jenn Park (aka K.Y.)

There may be some who see real estate agents as commodities, one being no different/better than…read moreanother. They couldn't be more wrong! And this is where Stephanie Janeshak comes in. Stephanie was one of three RE agents we interviewed to handle the SALE of our Corona townhouse. She was the only agent who seemed to have an accurate estimate of the value of the property (one of the other agents was too high, the other far too low) and completely understood the dynamics and nuances of the Corona RE market. That alone would have earned her our business. But Stephanie brings so much more to the table than that! She not only found the buyer herself within two weeks of the home being listed (at a full-price offer!), she recommended contractors to help us update the property prior to sale, as we were out-of-state sellers. But what really stood out is how she was willing (often after hours) to step in and provide on-site services herself (such as watering plants, meeting subcontractors, etc.). That was a tremendous help, and one that we did not anticipate! Kudos to Stephanie for her level of professionalism and customer service! I STRONGLY recommend you reach out to Stephanie Janeshak for any RE sale or purchase needs you may have. You'll be glad you did!
