I can't say enough good things about Alex Horowitz! I recently was ready to sell my home in Brea,…read moreand when looking for a realtor I wanted someone that was familiar with my town and neighborhood. I saw Alex's signs a lot and recently a house sold on my street for above the listing price. When I called Alex for consultation I knew I had found my guy! He was patient, thorough and very informative. He and his team immediately went to work. My house was in really good shape as it was, but WOW - when his team got hold of it, it absolutely sparkled! His entire team, the stagers, the handymen, the cleaners and all the co-workers in the office worked so hard for me. Everyone was just amazing. My house sold very quickly and for a little over 115K over the asking price. When problems arose with the buyers during escrow, Alex with there every step of the way, always available to talk and text to calm, reassure me and ultimately solve every problem. His final text to me: "Please let me handle all the small stuff". I would like give a shout out to each and every individual name that was there for me, but I know I'm not going to remember all of them: Denisse, Fatimah, Jaqueline, Joseph, Mark and I know there's more. Thank you so much!

Alex kept us in the loop the whole way through and gave us great advice. He never pushed us into anything and totally understood our decision. We'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who cares about their clients. When we're ready to start looking again, he's the one we'll call!

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." Choose Meridox: the true professionals.

He was referred by our attorney. When he set expectations, it was exactly what occurred with strong results. So thankful we selected Darryl and grateful to his team. When other realtors, seeing our improvements, stopped by the house and spoke with us, it reaffirmed that he was the best choice and far ahead of getting ready for the right timing in the market. I encourage you to reach out to Darryl ahead of deciding when to place your property on the market, so you know all the options that fit your needs.

Sarah was by far the best agent either of us had ever worked with. Her knowledge, not just about real estate laws and practices, but also regional resources and market values, was accurate and valuable. She negotiated our home purchase to account for needed repairs as well as other factors at play concerning the solar panel lease. She had experience with solar lease companies as well. She has a great team of contractors and other service businesses who did thorough examinations, explained their findings, and made recommendations. Then we sold our condo. My jaw is still on the floor. We moved out on a Monday, came back for the last few items Wednesday. Repairs and cleaning were finished within 2 weeks, and the house was staged and listed with gorgeous photos and video. We were in escrow for $35k over asking price one week after hitting the market. One weekend of open houses. They requested a 20 day escrow and we closed after 20 days. The end! I almost wish we needed to buy or sell another place just to work with Sarah from Drake again.

I was inexperience back then and had given her too much time and trust. She had canceled our appointments many times to honor another buyer. After wasted 1 year of my time and opportunity, she tried to make me sign an agreement that I would have to pay her the commission on whatever house I will buy. She was giving me hard time and pressure about signing that agreement. I didn't feel right about that and had stoped working with her. After that I found a better agent and she was able to find me a house I needed right away. During my loan process, Dana refused to release my FHA case number because I chose a different agent to represent me. Dana is very unethical and unprofessional.

So when it was time for my family to upgrade our home we knew exactly who we were going to go to. Our case was multi-layered because we wanted to find our new home, but we also had to sell our existing home at the same time. The whole team was amazing from start to finish. From discussing our gameplan, figuring out timelines, listing our home, scheduling private tours, getting preapproved, putting offers in, shopping for loans, and requesting multiple worksheets - their expertise and professionalism was unmatched. (Special mention to Darwin and Marlyne for always making themselves available to answer all our questions and address every concern. And also, to Eileen for her promptness with all the documents). Even when we were hesitant or got worried about the finances, they never pressured us to rush into any decision. We always felt supported and encouraged. My family have been very blessed and fortunate to have successfully close two escrows in the span of 7 days! This is the third transaction that the McLeod team has helped us with. We are very grateful for Mia and everyone on the McCleod team. We are clients for life. But to be honest, at this point we don't just consider them our realtors, they're family now. We highly recommend everyone go to them for all your home ownership needs.
