I've always loved reading helpful Yelp reviews, this is my first one...unfortunately it's a very…read morenegative first time experience with this business entity that prompted this action. Permanently losing a potential customer with 2 short phone calls doesn't appear to be a very sustainable business model to me. But looking at all these previous reviews, am I not surprised! Here is the backstory: So I'm dentist shopping for a dental practice in Orange County...saw one that I'm really interested in, call the broker up, got more info, all is well. As I kept on looking at other brokers' websites, I came across the same dental office for sale on First Choice's website. Umm, strange, I thought the other guy told me that they had an exclusive listing with the seller. So I signed up with First Choice's newsletter via its website to get more information--they had more photos, and the price was higher, and it's listed as a NEW listing. What's going on here? Called the first broker, they said they'll check into it. Two days later, the practice is no longer on the first broker's website. Okay, something happened, maybe the seller decided he wanted to go with another broker who promised to sell fast at a higher price. Whatever it was, I didn't really care. I just want to get more information on the practice in question, arrange a viewing inside, all that due diligence stuff. Here is what happened today: I was this close to faxing over to First Choice the signed confidential letter (all brokers need this document for them to tell you more). Just out of curiosity I picked up the phone wanted to find out whether they have the exclusive on this practice. I thought maybe they're better, that's why the seller went to them instead of the first broker. I told the lady the property's listing number, and was promptly transferred to Reno (I see that on Yelp it says that he's the founder). I briefly reiterated my interest in the property... In a pretty blunt tone of voice, he asked me "I don't mean to be rude, but what question do you have? Let's just get straight to it." I was quite taken back, this just sounded rude. If you are a dentist and is reading this, you realize that most of the time when we're dealing with reps, brokers, etc. we're their customers and sources of income, we experience nothing but courtesy. Okay, maybe it's a bad day for Reno and he has a short fuse. Me: "My question is that whether you have a exclusive listing with this property?" A few second pause on the other end. Reno: "And who is this that's asking the question?" Me: "This is a potential buyer." Reno: "And what's this potential buyer's name?" I thought I told him...maybe I didn't, but I'm pretty sure I told the lady. Me: "This is Sheldon." Reno: "Goodbye Sheldon." The guy hung up the phone on me!! This is unbelievable. Did that question offend him somehow? Must be. If he sounded rude before, what he did is definitely rude in my book. Pretty upset by now, I called the number again, the same lady picked up the phone. She asked what's up, I said that guy she transferred me to hung up on me, and that I want to speak to her supervisor. She took down my name again...and Reno picked up: "I'm the supervisor, you want to report me?" Heck, yea, I do. Me: "What's your name sir?" I forgot his name from the first phone call. Reno: "This is Reno." Me: "You hung up on me. I just want to know whether you have an exclusive contract with the seller?" Having read the backstory, whoever is reading this should know why that's important to me. Why would I want to work with a broker that readily loses his contract to another broker? Did the first broker even have a contract with the seller? If they had one, why did the seller switched broker? Maybe Reno is the best, the best thing since sliced bread, who knows. Honestly I don't remember exactly what he said, something to the extent of "we only disclose information as deemed necessary". After which he hung up on me again. AGAIN!! I could feel my chest pounding, must be all those epinephrine molecules being pumped into my bloodstream, fight or flight. Well, I decided to calm down and see where I can report my experience. I called the Orange County Chamber of Commerce, they referred me to the Business Consumer Alliance and the Better Business Bureau, and to Yelp. To all readers: You see how far dissatisfied customers are willing to go to make public of their bad experience? Hint, hint, treat people well, with basic courtesy, and you may prosper. Instead, First Choice not only lost me...before I even became their customer!! Crazy right? But now, I don't even know how many people I will tell to stay away from this business. I read other reviewers related their own experience, how it's not looking out for them, only want to make a quick buck...well, I will never find out. I don't ever wish any ill onto other people; however, If a business that's meant to serve customers, instead take advantage of them, it should not exist.

Kevin Shuler, made the often difficult home buying process as easy as possible. From the start,…read moreKevin listened to me, asked me questions about what I wanted in a home and helped show me homes that fit that criteria. He set up a personalized email list so I could browse homes on my own time, he also emailed me hot homes that were in areas that he thought I might enjoy living. At no point in the home buying process did I feel pressured and I always knew that Kevin had my back. Before contacting Kevin my searches often involved looking on Zillow, Trulia and Redfin and driving by the occasional open house. After contacting Kevin I had the chance to see homes before they went on the market, which made making a competitive offer that much easier. Kevin also has a great reputation among other agents and the reason my offer was accepted was based on the other agent's desire to work with Kevin vs. taking a chance with some other person. Kevin also helped me get into the home for a lot less than asking, all based off of comps. Kevin gets the market, he understands financing and numbers and most of all he understands how to offer superior customer service for those looking for a home. Once making the offer, Kevin set me up with a transaction coordinator who helped with all of the paperwork process. This paperwork, an often daunting task, seemed effortless. I felt like I was treated like a million dollar client, even though I was not buying a million dollar home. He even managed to introduce me to some of my neighbors, made sure I understood the local community and provided a helpful list of contacts in case I needed any help. If you want a top agent, give Kevin a call.

She did a fantastic job at searching for the right fit, matching a home to my criteria, making the deal happen, staying within budget, she is aggressive when need be, and her communication is impeccable. One of the most important aspects is to have a Realtor who listens to your needs and wants; understands your desires and values; and communicates promptly. She is beyond excellent. I would never recommend any other Realtor. Great negotiator too! She was able to prepare our offer in such a way that secured our deal, in a market where transactions were closing with cash offers in less than a week. Thereafter, she negotiated the deal even lower. Great work ethic and very professional. No other Realtor can compare.
