    Cristal and David what a team! I just wanted to take a moment to share my experience. I was a first time home seller, selling my vintage home in downtown Fullerton. I was making a cross country move and in the early stages of building a new home so had a lot of balls in the air. Cristal and David handled all the details and helped me understand each step and stage of the process. They helped me get my home ready for market and provided fantastic staging, deep cleaning, and professional photography services! Their marketing efforts were above and beyond, these guys know their markets! The sale process was short and sweet and they helped me navigate efficiently through a smooth escrow process. Cristal and David are everything you need and more! Thank You!!!

    Dogs enjoy the home.

    Wow. Where do I start with this all star team? Meeting her initially was intimidating as it was my husband and I's first experience trying to sell and buy a home. She immediately made us confident by loving on our beloved Husky, who wouldn't stop bugging her for attention while she was trying to interview what we were looking for. After a brief time, we reconnected and proceeded. Unfortunately for us, COVID slammed us to a stop in March after we had already staged and prepped the home for showings. Understanding that this was beyond her control, she didn't give up, and pushed on when things started to open back up. It was definitely worth the wait and the lengths she went to, to ensure we found our dream home was amazing. When another realtor decided to execute a showing poorly, she was on it, still took time out of her day to reschedule that showing for later. She kept pushing when a seller flaked due to extraneous circumstances. She stayed on it the entire time we were looking. Eventually we were able to sell, and then found our dream home - and we were able to secure it. It had been a hectic few weeks, and this review is well overdue. But I highly recommend Cristal Drake and her team 1000% - they're real, efficient, and they knew EXACTLY what we were looking for. Bonus: they are dog people. I especially recommend them for first time home buyers as they made this so incredibly easy for us and we appreciate the effort and lengths they went through despite this crazy time.

    Cristal, her husband David and the entire Drake real estate team are amazing! Cristal truly and genuinely cared about getting us into the home that was just right for us. She was patient, honest, kind and very responsive. Being first time home buyers, we had a great deal of questions, uncertainties and frankly weren't exactly sure of what we wanted. Cristal made our home buying process an enjoyable one. It is evident that she has extensive background and vast knowledge of the process, but she never made us feel that her knowledge was superior to what we wanted. She helped us make informed decisions, and no matter what time of day, she made time to talk me through my crazy emotions. Once we had an offer accepted, her husband David stepped in to help us understand the condition of our home and things we should consider. He also genuinely cared about ensuring we were set up for success and was obviously in this with us - making for some very happy homeowners. We appreciated his expertise, which he continues to provide even after we closed. We honestly couldn't have asked for better partners through this life changing purchase. I wish I had time to write about our entire experience, but there truly aren't enough words to express how grateful we are!! We will come back to the Drake team if we are ever in the market to buy and/or sell again. They are a true dream team! We would highly recommend them. Thank you Cristal and David! It always works out the way it's meant to!

    See all

She sent demanding emails. After we agreed on a date to close the sale (which we shortened to 10 days out), she immediately began harassing our agent with more e-mails, and multiple daily phone calls... pushing to know what was taking so long !! She verbally questioned our agent as to whether we had "sufficient funds" to buy the property (casting a negative vibe on us personally) , and non-stop badgered him until the day of closing. To say this style of communicating pissed me off would be a gross understatement. It genuinely made us concerned that there was a negative mitigating circumstance that was motivating this childlike style. It nearly prompted us to walk away from the deal entirely. We waited for years to buy a property that met our needs, and to be pushed, intimidated, and bullied by this agent took some of the excitement out of the event. It really displayed a lack of polish, knowledge and was hugely unprofessional. If other agents in this agency employ similar tactics...I would STEER WAY clear. Time for the broker to RE-TRAIN this "tough lady" agent and probably others that are out to sell at all costs. Glad the process with this firm finally ended.

Not only are they truly experts in the local market, they have developed an incredible team to make sure all the details of the home selling process are expertly covered. Home buying and selling can be an emotional process and working with folks you can trust is key. That's what we got with James and Martina. They were so easy to communicate with, were super knowledgeable, and always responsive. Martina did a beautiful job of sprucing up and staging our home, staying true to its midcentury bones and making it stand out to prospective buyers. The marketing was also awesome and James really set the stage for a competitive offering, resulting in several offers over asking. We were in escrow in record time and closed successfully shortly thereafter. Couldn't be more pleased with our experience with the Bobbetts.
