I'll just say not all Real Estate agents are created equal... Jesse is a real alpha, if you just let him do his thing and follow his direction y'all won't be disappointed.

Selling a home is stressful (especially for someone like me!) but Lori and Jesse made the whole…read moreprocess feel surprisingly easy. They were always available to answer questions, kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I knew what to expect throughout the process. Their advice on pricing and negotiations was spot on, and everything moved smoothly from getting my house ready to list all the way through closing. I also want to give a shoutout to their TC, Alexa. She kept everything organized behind the scenes, was always responsive and helpful, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. I have no doubt that her attention to detail played a big part in helping us close on time. Thank you to Lori, Alexa and Jesse in making this process feel smooth and manageable! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive team to help sell your home, this is your team!

I've worked with Renzo Marsano three times now, and each experience has been outstanding. He first…read morehelped me purchase my home, then guided me through my first refinance, and most recently assisted with my second refinance. Every time, Renzo has been professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. Renzo takes the time to explain all options clearly, answers questions quickly, and makes what can be a complicated process feel smooth and stress-free. He truly looks out for your best interests and tailors solutions to your specific goals rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach. The fact that I continue to return to Renzo says it all. I trust him completely and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or refinance a home.

He walked us through the entire process professionally and kindly. The entire thing went very smoothly. He was always available to answer our inquiries. Prior to refinancing, there was an incident where we had an issue with our escrow account and Renzo graciously agreed to assist us by having a three way call with customer service. This is one of many examples to show how he goes above and beyond to help his clients out; The quality of customer service was beyond a doubt amazing! Thanks again for everything and helping us out! Most definitely recommend Renzo if you are seeking a home loan or need assistance with refinancing.

As a first time home buyer I was apprehensive about the whole process and totally clueless where to…read moreeven start. We just closed on our first house last week, and I feel SO FORTUNATE to have found Maureen!! She is a mastermind of the mortgage lending process! I don't think I've ever met someone who is so hardworking with such high standards. Even better, Maureen upholds the same high standards for every one else involved in the lending process (escrow company, lenders, realtors, etc.) and she is constantly 2 steps ahead and prepared for anything, with a back up plan "just in case" to ensure everything goes through seamlessly. As a first time homebuyer initially unfamiliar with the process, I now know I threw a couple curve balls and Maureen didn't even bat an eye. As if all that wasn't enough, I also had no idea where to start when looking for a good realtor. Maureen suggested a few she has worked with in the past that she thought were really good, and she did not disappoint. I ended up choosing Melissa Tucci as my realtor, who was just as amazing as Maureen, and the two of them working together turned into an unstoppable powerhouse that could move mountains and get a deal done! If you're looking for a mortgage broker who will take care of you like family and go above and beyond, look no further. You will not be disappointed!

A Dream Realized in 18 Days - Thanks to Maureen Martin…read more Words can't fully express the gratitude I have for Maureen Martin of Homeplus Mortgage. From the moment we began our home-buying journey, Maureen showed herself to be an absolute powerhouse--a strong, focused businesswoman who brings unmatched professionalism, compassion, and commitment to everything she does. Maureen isn't just about numbers and paperwork--she's client-centric to her core. Her dedication, responsiveness, and fierce determination made us feel supported every step of the way. When I finally met her in person, I immediately felt her radiant energy and warmth. Her aura and spirit are something truly rare--she's one of the most special, genuine people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Thanks to her tireless efforts, we went from placing an offer to holding the keys to our new home in just 18 days. That kind of turnaround is almost unheard of, but Maureen made it happen. We are forever indebted to her for not just helping us close on a house, but for helping us secure our dream. If you're looking for a lender who is not only masterful at what she does but also deeply human in how she does it, look no further. Maureen Martin is a godsend.

Warning about Mortgage One…read more I want to share my recent experience so others don't go through the same thing. In July 2025, I started working with Mortgage One through loan officer Mark Butrus. On July 31, I gave my credit card information to his processor to pay for an appraisal. The appraisal was completed, and Mortgage One even told me they would cover the cost of the follow-up visit. A short time later, I decided to switch to Turbo Mortgage because their rates and fees were much better. After that, things took a very troubling turn. On August 18, I received a fraud alert from my credit card company: a $496.55 charge attempt to the City of Warren (Michigan electric company). I live in Georgia and have no ties to Warren, MI. The only people who had my card information were at Mortgage One. When I questioned Mark about this, he denied any involvement, but the timing and location are extremely suspicious. Using a customer's credit card information for unauthorized charges is fraud. I am considering filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, CFPB, and law enforcement. I'm posting this to warn others: be very careful who you trust with your personal and financial information. My experience with Mortgage One has been extremely disappointing and concerning.

We also looked…read moreinto buying another home a few years ago and she took us to look at what was on the market at that time. My husband and I have recommended Dawn to any of our friends and family who have been in the market to buy or sell a home. Dawn is very professional, organized, knowledgeable, kind and easy to do business with. She explained every part of the process to us and made our home buying experience much smoother than I thought it would be. She knows a ton about the areas we were looking at including information about school districts and where the good vs. not so good neighborhoods are. She really helped us think through what we wanted and needed in a first home and brought things to our attention that I wouldn't have though of. I couldn't imagine buying a home without her and would definitely use her for any real estate needs we have in the future.

A friend referred me to Dawn and after meeting with her we decided to have her help us sell our…read morehome. Dawn was phenomenal, from the first meeting she was well prepared and organized. She presented us with a ton of information which showed that she really put time and effort into our situation and that she was very knowledgeable about what she was doing. The whole process we felt like we were her only clients, even though I knew she had others. She was prompt to respond to emails, texts, and phone calls and was always available for us to ask for help or advice. I've worked with a couple of real estate agents now and she really has been the best by far. Aside from being knowledgeable and professional she's just a great person that I'm glad to have met. In short: I highly recommend Dawn.

Holly was a phenomenal realtor who provided excellent guidance and fought for us every step of the…read moreway. We are moving back to the North County area from the East Coast and had a very limited window to see houses in person. Ahead of our visit, Holly did a great job listening to what we wanted, providing options for us to review, and gathering feedback to distill the market down to houses that fit all of our parameters. During our house hunting trip, Holly tirelessly showed us house after house, including several day-of additions, to ensure that we had a solid understanding of the market. During this time, Holly did a great job of sticking to our original vision while adapting to our feedback as we started to better understand the market. Through this process, we felt we able to make an informed decision despite only having a few days in the area. On the last day, we found a home that was the right combination of all the things we wanted and needed for this next chapter of our lives. With a clear first choice, Holly fought hard to ensure that we were able to secure a winning offer. With her help and guidance we got the offer accepted just as we were getting ready to leave California at the end of our house-hunting trip! Getting that offer accepted was a huge victory, but Holly's effort and value did not stop there. Through every step of the the escrow process, Holly continued to advise us and fight for the best deal. This effort saved us a lot of money and made us feel confident that we truly walked away with the best price the market would allow. Even after closing Holly has continued to be a vital asset as we transition back to California. By conducting walk throughs and working with the selling agent to ensure that the property is ready for move in, Holly has once again shown that she is committed to ensuring that our best interests are represented through every aspect of the real estate buying experience. In addition to all of these wonderful qualities, working with Holly was fun! We had a great time getting to know her and she turned what could have been an absolute grind into an enjoyable and educational experience. She has our absolute highest recommendation!

I couldn't recommend Holly and the rest of the team at Shanfran Realty Group any higher. Buying a home is stressful, complicated and scary but Holly did an amazing job helping us through it all. Holly is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and she somehow made everything fun. Communication during this whole process is critical and Holly always found time for us and always responded quickly with insightful/strategic advice. We're going to miss our daily texts and calls with her! Again, there aren't enough positive words in the dictionary to describe Holly and our experience with her and the team. We're forever grateful and Holly will be the first one over for our house-warming dinner.

I did go through and paint several rooms plus I had 4" baseboards installed in several rooms. I also paid attention to the yard adding flowers in the flower boxes and containers of flowers around the yard. As I was trying to close escrow in Idaho at the same time and I was very stressed and cranky. Leah took it in stride especially since she had had a baby right before we listed! The only item that I would have preferred a heads up on before the buyer's inspection was that when one resales a mobile home you need to have the hot water heater strapped in a specific format and you need screens behind the vents in the siding. Other than that if you are looking to buy or sell a mobile home you can't beat Leah Cole @ Cole & Associates!

They're always very kind to my kids who are right at the age of learning important adult life skills....not everything can be done at the ATM- you have to speak to people at the bank! Every time we've gone in, we're greeted by the person at the front desk, and the teller or personal banker always makes pleasant small talk with us.
