We bid on a house 50k over asking price, our agent took us there we spoke with the listing agent…read moreJASON Gailliot who we told we would we go another 10k, He assured my agent from Redfin we were #1 no problem the whole time until he called and stated someone outbid us? We asked to see the sale information and found out this guy was double dipping listing the property and showing the property (unethical) he knew what we offered did not advise us to go higher when we told him we would, then found out he sold the property for 9k less than our offer so he could make more $$ for him and his company McDermott . I contacted the owner of the realty company he told me he would get back to me and never did. Be careful when dealing with this company if they are listing it and you are looking to buy, find out if the same agent is listing and showing the house from this company because if they are you will most likely not get the house.

We usually don't leave reviews for anyone or any businesses, even if they bribe with deals and…read morediscounts, but we will gladly leave a review for Eric Kiang since we believe in giving credit where credit is due. We've been looking for a house on and off for the past few years and met many realtors, brokers, and real estate agents during open houses and no one impressed us like Eric did. He was very knowledgeable about the current housing market and the property that we purchased. He was responsive to our questions and always happy to lend a hand. He helped us move mountains to get our current property remodeled and rented in order for us to close escrow. He gave us many tips and pointers for our rental and was able to get it rented higher than what we expected. He went above and beyond with his service even after we closed escrow. He offered to help us remodel our new place and referred us to his contractors. We felt like we got the "red carpet" treatment as soon as his contractors knew we were referred by Eric. They gave us the best prices and gave us priority for installation. Overall, we had an amazing experience with Eric and we were glad he was our agent. He truly cares about his clients. Oh did we mention that we sent us moving boxes and care packages to alleviate the stress of renting and buying a house simultaneously. If you're looking to buy or sell, use Eric and you'll be "moved!"

However, from the first moment we met Shawna and Mike, We felt we were in excellent hands. They constantly exceeded our expectations and at all times were professional, friendly and patient with helping us understand the whole process. They were quick to answer all our questions sent to them via email or text. The best part of their business is they are never pushy and highly respect their client's opinion which we liked the most about them. We were able to sell our home without any hiccups. We are highly satisfied with their level of professionalism that we have decided to have them represent us on buying our next home. With over 30 years of experience in this business, they are very knowledgeable. We highly recommend them for all our real estate needs.

We weren't even planning to sell for months, or even a year. Then we got Terry's letter. It lay…read morethere for a month while we were gone, but when we came back I decided to call to see if what was offered in the letter was for real. Terry promised no signs, no getting ready to sell, no MLS hassle, and the right to stay in the home for months after closing. The escrow closed in about 7 days all-cash for a good price, and we got everything Terry promised. Terry told us up-front that he was the agent for the buyer and couldn't be our agent. However, he promised to treat us fairly and to take care of all the paperwork and the details. Everything Terry said went down exactly as he said. We would do it again in a heartbeat. Right now we are staying in our former home rent-free, and taking our time to get our new home just right before we make the move. If you have the chance to work with Terry, take it. He knows what he's doing, and he will treat you right, whether you're his client, or not.

I worked with Terry to get our home because my friend highly recommended him. I knew my friend…read morewould never recommend anybody without plenty of experience with him (all of it GOOD, LOL) before any recommendation.  We started out looking for rental properties, but ended up getting my family's dream home in Turtle Rock, near UCI in Irvine. Astounding as the market was, we believed Terry when he projected the high selling prices of homes we considered.  They were selling WAY above recent sales, so we could see the "writing on the wall".  In fact, we knew that we would have to offer $150,000 over the asking price to win OUR dream home against competing buyers.  By this time, we were semi-jokingly calling Terry a "prophet" for his totally accurate projections of selling prices. So, we made our offer and then something incredible happened!  Even though we submitted our written offer, Terry managed to work with the listing agent to get us our home for $25,000 LESS.  To this day, we have NO idea how Terry did this for us, but getting it at all (and then for $25k less than we offered) was more like working with a "miracle worker" than a "prophet"!  Terry ROCKS!  (Terry mentioned that the listing agent caught some flack from his seller when the seller realized what prices were doing.) We're totally moved in now and we enjoy our new home every day.  We are SO glad we worked with Terry to get it done, despite the crazy market. Even though we knew what was going on in the market when we bought, we were still a little concerned that we had overpaid, until about 10 days later.  That's when another home came on the market for $1,800,000 that was over 300sf smaller than ours.  And it sold in only 5 days!  At the same cost per square foot, OUR home would have cost US 300K more than what we paid for it! What's more, the smaller, more expensive home backed to busy Turtle Rock Drive and fronted to the busiest internal street in the neighborhood, while ours was quiet, low traffic and close to the local park. In case you can't tell, we are TOTALLY impressed and happy with Terry and the work he did for us.  We recommend him to EVERYONE! PS:  He even has a program where people who need to sell their home to buy a new home can do it WITHOUT having to sell their home first and WITHOUT trying to get a seller to accept their offer subject to selling their home.  Ask him about it!

James is Awesome! Me and my Fiance were looking for our first place together and he truly made our…read moreexperience comforting. We originally were just using on the rental apps to search for a place when we came across our dream place and requested to view it. James was the realtor hired to find renters for the condo. When We met him to view the unit he was with his wife and they were such a welcoming couple and very friendly. I felt really comfortable talking with them. When we left, we explained how much we loved this place and they really made us feel that we were in good hands. After we applied, James contacted us to inform us that the owner had passed on our application. He advised us that the owners were very particular and not to worry. However, James made it clear that he really wanted to find us a great place for our first home together. He kept his word and he would send us other properties he was working on but nothing compared to the place we had seen. About a month later we recieved the great new that James had talked to the owner and the owner had reconsider our application! It was the greatest news! We were able to sign everything and get the keys within a week! The owners have been real pleasant and we are so grateful that James kept his word to get us a place we would love. He was real committed to getting us in the right place and worked hard to make sure we didn't have to worry. Thank you James! :)

I'm glad that my wife and I had Karen's expertise in helping us sell and buy a home.  She possesses…read morekeen skill sets of listening and negotiating that helped us navigate the time period of when we transacted. When we first met Karen, we told her what we were trying to accomplish - we wanted to sell our house in a hot market for maximum price and purchase a bigger house for minimum price.  Honestly everyone wants what I just wrote, but she really listened to what we were saying because she took that time to examine what was important to us.  What area were we trying to buy in, what were our requirements, how comfortable are we with uncertainty and etc?  That told me a lot about what we were getting into and who would be our champion. We listed the house in the first half of 2021.  She and her team help us work on how to present the house.  We know it's a booming market and we expected maybe a 5-6% over asking.  Rather, she was able to navigate 12.5% over asking.  We were thrilled.  But now comes the hard part.   Now we have to find a house and the house we want has specific requirements.  It must have a, b, c, d, e, f, g.  In the age of Zillow and Redfin, we can look at the listing ourselves and that belies the notion of what an experienced agent does.  Because of Karen's expertise and experience, she talked to us about the homes, and would tell us if there are similar houses in similar markets.  She guided us by listening empathetically or respectfully challenged us when we needed it.  We eventually found a house and we put the bid in.  I was nervous, so nervous that I accidentally used her as a therapist (she's really good in de-escalating tension).  When she called us with the good news, we found out we purchased the house about 6.9% over asking.   Why this is important is because from a percentage standpoint, we purchased a bigger house in a more desirable area for less than what we sold our previous house. If I had to put it in square footage, we sold our house at $501/sf and we purchased the new house at $348/sf.   Luck plays a big factor.  Karen is humble enough to know luck plays a big role in all our lives, but beyond her modesty and humbleness is this - she had the skill sets to act and win for her client when luck struck.  We were lucky to sell our house in this market, but unlucky to buy.  When we did buy, she helped mitigate the worst of a booming market.  In the end, we got a premium selling our house and a discount buying and we did it with Karen's help.  That is what her skill and expertise brought because anyone can get lucky, but it takes skill and talent to make something out of that luck. I'd be remiss to not mention the others on her team, Monica Dean and Emily Gibson.  Both Monica and Emily were quintessential in helping us get to our desired outcome.  Thank you team Karen.  ^_^
