Jacqueline is the only real estate person I will recommend, she is a very experienced professional…read morethat's trustworthy, reliable and very knowledgeable in the real estate world and much, much more. When my brother and I lost our parents we were left with the hard decision to make and a lot of things to do. I was in a cold dark place and I wanted to keep the home but circumstances came along and we had to sell. When I called Jacqueline she was so kind and she said she was honored that we picked her for this chapter in our lives. She has a unique way of saying things, I love it. Jacqueline got to work, she helped us every step of the way to get the house ready. When she put the house on the market at a fair price we all agreed on, it sold in 2 weeks. The last night we owned the house she surprised my brother and I with a beautiful fun dinner, with all kinds of food, cake, and everything so that the last night in our parents hone was not sad, but happy. I have never been so surprised in my life, it was magical. Jacqueline has had a positive impact in my life and I will be forever thankful for all her help. Later Jacqueline gave us each a book with our parent's picture on the front and inside pictures of the party and the home they lived in. We both will cherish these books forever. Jacqueline is a beautiful human being inside and outside, she is amazing. Sherry Ornelas

Jacqueline, In my many years of business and sold and…read morepurchased (5) homes over the last 20 years, I would like to thank you for your professionalism, level of detail, and incredibly fast turn around in the sale of my property. In today´s slow market as we are currently experiencing, where homes are staying on the market an average of 120-days you exceeded everyone's expectations by having multiple offers in only 5-days and well above market value - the neighbors truly appreciate you bringing back up the neighborhood home values. Your level of detail in regards to competitive properties, professionally marketing my home, setting a realistic price while meeting my expectations, qualifying the potential buyers, and negotiating a rapid escrow has made this a pleasurable and pleasing sale and business relationship. In addition, with the sale of my current home, I would like to thank you for finding my next home. Not only did this property meet all of my criteria, but exceeded my expectations for price of 37,000 well under market value. I also thank you for introducing me to an honest lender that got me an incredible rate much lower than expected, thanks to you for pushing me to get a good faith agreement and lock rate. You took the time to walk my wife and me through each step as well as always informing us with updates through your phone calls, emails and that great 24hr online live update status created personally for our transaction. At the end of our transaction, Jacqueline selfishly donated a percentage of her commission to a charity organization of our choice, in our name. This was no surprise to me, as Jacqueline demonstrated many kind-hearted acts throughout the entire transaction, like the wonderful, thoughtful key ceremony you gave when I walked through the door as the new owner. The food, Champaign, balloons and gifts were all very much appreciated - again another one of your thoughtful acts of kindness to make sure every moment was special. I appreciate your efforts. I am not only a satisfied client but now also a friend. Best regards Thomas Paterniti

My friends in AI say that "the saying 'Don't do business with friends' is a common piece of…read morebusiness advice stemming from the potential for conflicts and strain on friendships when mixing personal and professional relationships. While some successful businesses are built on friendships, the risks associated with this approach are significant. These include disagreements over money, roles, decision-making, and unequal contributions, which can lead to resentment and damage the friendship. " I am here to challenge that. I needed experience, tenacity and results and that is what I got. Friendship was the cherry on top and if anything, just made a scary process easier. Knowing you are responsible for a parent's portfolio and future is at times lonely and overwhelming. Stacy and Team made the process efficient and easy. Thank you, Stacy, for your professionalism and respect during this experience.

Joe Juliani is nothing short of AMAZING! If you want someone…read moreyou can TRUST, who is incredibly KNOWLEDGABLE about Realestate, who keeps up and UNDERSTANDS the current market trends, GENUINELY CARES about you, your family, and also feels like apart of your own FAMILY then look no further! This is the guy you want to guide you through your biggest financial decision! WARNING LONG POST! I was referred to Joe in 2014 by one of my family members that he helped save from losing their home. He then walked us through the entire home buying process and we purchased a 2 bedroom condo in Yorba Linda. 3 years and in 2018 Joe helped us to sell our condo and purchase a 3 bedroom condo in Yorba Linda for our growing family. Fast forward to 2021, we decided to reach out to Joe again to see if he could help sell our condo and get into a house. We were very nervous, because the market has been on fire with homes selling way over asking with multiple offers. Joe reassured us, "I've got you", and let me tell you, that was no lie! Seriously, he took care of us from the moment we called him. Referred us to a phenomenal lender with top notch service, California Coastal Loans, they deserve a review of their own! Back to Joe, he helped us to strategize selling our place BEFORE before buying, scary, but not so much becuase he made sure the sale of our condo was so smooth and negotiated plenty of time (2 months) for us to stay after the close of the sale. Guess what?! He is soo amazing at what he does that we don't even need all the extra time. When the timing was right with the sale of our place he gave us the green light to begin house hunting. Offer #1 and #2 scared us, boy oh boy it is rough out there! The overbidding, the cash offers, then there is us who cannot compete. So many emotions and yet there was Joe guiding us in the right direction, reassuring us all will be fine, reminding us "I got you". He was so patient with us and so great at answering all of our questions! Then we roll into offer #3 and #4, we were countered on both offers! We were able to choose the home we wanted to pursue and open escrow on the one that was the perfect home for our family. The Dream Home! Not only did he get us our Dream Home, he was able to negotiate for us to practically get it fully furnished! Not even kidding! So awesome! Y'all check out these incredible time frames! Listed our condo on 4/3 closed 5/13. Opened Dream Home escrow 4/27 and closed 5/19. Say what?! Closed 6 days apart! We had was such an awesome experience! We felt so cared for by everyone involved! We cannot thank you enough! Truely feel BLESSED beyond measure!!! There we definitely some Happy Tears!

I consulted David Perez, a real estate agent of Bullock Russell Real Estate Services for a home I…read morewas interested in possibly purchasing in the mountains. I had originally met Mr. Perez when he was the buyers agent for someone who invited me to view the property they were purchasing with his help. Months later I was in discussions with a different agent and broker about selling property. I had asked that agent to go with me to a property in the mountains I wanted to view. That agent committed to following up at the beginning of the new week, and e-mailed their team members, promising one of them would contact me. Unfortunately, no one associated with that agent ever followed-up and the property I was interested in became contingent and no longer available. I continued to watch the property, and about five months later the property fell out of escrow and was relisted for sale. My experience with the agent I had been in discussions with lost my trust and confidence. I didn't feel they valued me as a potential customer for a sale, and they showed I couldn't trust them for showing me property or negotiating property. Perhaps if I had asked them to sell my car, or help me buy a car, that would of been different. But when you are dealing with hundreds of thousands of dollars into the millions, i'd have to be insane to work with anyone I can't trust. I contacted David Perez of Bullock Russell Real Estate Services since I already had his phone number, he had already helped someone I know purchase a property, and he seemed very knowledgeable when I had previously met him. To my surprise David offered to show me the property, despite knowing it would require several hours of his time, and a three hour round trip drive. He also knew, it was the only property I was looking at in California. David contacted the selling agent to request a time for us to view the property, met at the property on a Saturday, walked me through all the different areas within the property and pointed out issues that concerned him about it. He estimated it may need an addition $250,000 investment to bring it up to code and to correct several concerning issues, including a notice we found on the door from the county indicating it was in violation of several codes. David recommended not purchasing the property and explained why, and that is what a buyer or seller wants and needs from a real estate agent. Someone who is honest, trustworthy and genuinely helping you evaluate a property. I found David very friendly, eager to assist, professional, and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of my questions about the property being looked at and saved me from making a bad purchase. I didn't buy that property and decided to hold off on property hunting while I determine what state or area I want to look at going forward. I interviewed 5 or 6 different agents and brokers so far, and I found it difficult to find one who I feel I can trust. When dealing with so much money, and something so important, I want someone I'd feel comfortable leaving my wallet on the table around if I had to leave the room. I can only speak to my experience, but I feel confident all my money would still be in my wallet if I left it in the room with Mr. Perez, or when making a decision for buying real estate.

I've heard many stories (via family and friends) about various escrow companies that "dropped the ball" at crucial points within the escrow process; thereby, causing a domino effect with delays. However, the team at POE impressed me with their "proactive approach" to solving potential problems. The team was kind, courteous, and very thorough about explaining the entire transaction to me. (They're true professionals with a complete understanding of the business.) In my case, the property was placed in a revocable Trust with incorrect information. We contacted our trust attorney to determine a possible solution that would prevent a delay in escrow. However, our attorney gave a bleak prognosis which may have caused our property to go into probate (an eight to 12-month delay). I was terrified of that possibility and immediately contacted the Escrow Officer (Dorine) at POE. She along with her team attained the appropriate information pertaining to the situation and in turn developed an action plan that avoided probate - we were elated! Furthermore, she was able to rectify the "disconnect" between the trust and deed which was created by our family. This is just one example of how POE found a way to make things happen in spite of the various unknowns associated with property being in escrow. POE ensured our escrow experience was transparent, complete, and as smooth as possible. Therefore, I give Platinum One Escrow a perfect score and would recommend them to my family and friends without any reservations.

Ryan Argue helped us through a full real estate transition, selling our previous home and…read morepurchasing a new one, and we could not have asked for a better realtor. He handled both sides of the transaction exceptionally well. On the buying side, he guided us through pricing, market conditions, and negotiations, and we landed right within the range he had estimated. On the selling side, he advised us on pricing strategy, comps, and preparation, and we sold our home within the exact range he originally projected, which speaks to how accurate and data-driven his approach is. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable, meticulous, and detail-oriented. He understands both real estate and the psychology of buyers and sellers, and he remained calm and steady during what can be a stressful process. His communication skills truly stand out. He stayed consistently engaged through email, text, and regular phone calls, and I never felt under-communicated with. I am very analytical and like to debate and understand the reasoning behind decisions. Ryan always backed his recommendations with solid data and clear logic, never asking us to rely on opinion alone. We interviewed four local realtors before choosing Ryan, and that decision proved to be absolutely the right one over the five-month process. He also has a strong network of trusted contractors and service providers. Overall, Ryan is professional, analytical, and highly competent. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
