I am leaving a great review because our realtor Kara Burns was excellent. The process of finding the right home took a while but after looking at nearly 50 homes we finally found our dream home. Kara was amazing during the entire process. She made sure all the right contingency's were in place. Also every time we wanted to look at the properties she was available. She's a wonderful person and we are definitely going to continue to do business with her in the future. I highly recommend this agency if you're looking for a home. Kara Burns has what it takes to make your dream come true. Thank you for all your hard work. read more

Jay Bourgana - Homearly Real Estate - Our new home - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Brea, California

When the wife and I were looking to purchase our first home, we went through SchoolsFirst credit union for financing who then referred us to First Team Real Estate and our assigned agent Lucas Chen from Homearly. We have been working with another credit union and another agent for over half a year before making the switch. Jay, Lucas, and Allison has made the buying process as smooth and easy as possible, considering the challenge of buying during the pandemic and the insane seller's market. We toured about a dozen homes with Lucas over a few months and made 3 offers before eventually winning our current home. Lucas was always available and early to every single meeting. We tried to get there 10-15 minutes before him and he still beat us to the house. On one occasion, he was about 1.5hr away and still was able to meet us at a house on short notice (and he was early of course). He was in constant communication with listing agents/us and never made us feel like we were wasting his time. He was not pushy at all but did try to provide us with insight on each house and the offer situation in order for us to make a decision. I recall once we had made an offer after hours around 9 or 10pm and Lucas/Jay had signed it within minutes and sent it over to the listing agent. I admit I was skeptical at first being referred to an agent versus selecting my own but I'm glad we went with First Team/Homearly. If you're looking to buy or sell, I highly recommend reaching out to them. read more

Five stars no doubt! Their team is very professional and fast responding. We are the first home buyer, every thing to us are complicated and strange, but my broker Alexander Quan and his assistant Anny Phan are very patient and thoughtful, they helped to explain everything, very clear and understandable. Me and my wife went through a very unpleasant time when we deal with our financial situation, but Alex even helped us to find a CPA that for free to helped us out! What a team! "Those who sow tears shall reap with shouts of joy." From Psalm 126:5. I am very glad we met this professional team, able to work through the situation and help us to get the dream home! I highly recommend them to you guys, if you are struggling with current situation, give them a call. read more

Jay Bourgana - Homearly Real Estate - Our first home - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Brea, California

John Cory and his team are the best realtors I've ever worked with! John was very accommodating, helpful and consistent in his approach to finding us a house. We never felt like he didn't have our best interests at heart, and he went above and beyond our expectations to find us our perfect home as quickly as possible. I could go on and on about how great he was, but sufficed to say that he will be the only realtor I recommend from now on in Southern California. In an overly-complicated home buying process, he was the one thing we didn't have to stress over! Thanks so much John, Allison and Eddie for your hard work! read more

Up until last week when I got my 2nd property closed, I have purchased 2 properties in 3 years from the team: "Jay Bourgana - Homearly Real Estate" with Sam, Jacky, and Alison started in the year 2018 in the greater Los Angeles area. Sam and Jacky have been encouraging me a lot along the way and have provided me a lot of advice and options to get the deal done. They are so patient and nice, and always help me to think from my own perspective. Now the 1st property has been appreciated by a great deal, and without their help, the whole process won't be that smooth. I have also introduced their team to a couple of my friends, and their purchases have been done quite quickly, too. And now, I am looking forward to may my next purchase with them in the next 20 months. read more

As our first time buying a home, we felt lucky to have Kendall Davis as our realtor. She kindly and patiently walked us through the entire home buying process, from many home tours, to explaining basic things to us, to providing her expert opinions and recommendations, and all the things in between. The entire team was always helpful in answering our questions, including Haily Pruett, Alison Stewart, and Anny Phan. Every one was dedicated to helping us get through the process smoothly and pushing things through so that we closed earlier than expected. I would 100% recommend Homearly for other home buyers. read more

As a first time home buyer, every step to take can be very intimidating, but thanks to my agent Luz Nunez and her team at Homearly, I am now a new home owner! Luz and Alison, our transaction coordinator, always explained the next step with much detail and were always very professional and patient. Luz was able to always negotiate the best terms for me, not to mention solve any challenges along the way. I highly recommend Homearly Real Estate!! read more

I met Rich at an open house in Brea. I am a first time home buyer and had tons of questions about the buying process. He explained the process very detailed. During the escrow period I would receive constant updates. He was able to negotiate repairs and get me a credit of 5,000 at closing. His team members in the office were also amazing. Alison was always available and answered all my questions. I highly recommend the homearly team if you are looking to buy or sell a home. Give Rich a call at 714-987-1160 read more

Jay Bourgana - Homearly Real Estate - In the homearly office signing loan documents to close on my first home. - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Brea, California

Buying a home can be a really daunting process, especially you first home. We were initially referred by our credit union, but felt so extremely lucky we got paired with Reilly as our agent. We really felt like she listened to what our needs and wants in a home were. When it came to putting in offers, she was absolutely on top of it. She answered all of our questions every step of the way and made sure we were comfortable with everything. We never felt overwhelmed with information or paperwork. With Reilly's guidance, we were in escrow within a week of our home search and had keys to our new home within the 30 day period. We also ended up going with their financing department. Jeff, deon, and Anny were all so incredibly helpful. They were always available to answer questions. They also secured a great rate for us. My husband and I were always intimidated by the home buying process. We were always afraid we'd end up with agents and mortgage brokers who would take advantage of us being new to this whole process. This was not the case with Jay Bourgana's team. We are so grateful to Reilly and Jeff for walking us thru this process and helping us secure our first home. I could not recommend them enough. read more

My husband and I are very thankful Amir connected with us to purchase our first home. He truly was the perfect realtor for us. Not only was he professional and knowledgeable, but he was also easy to connect with and understood exactly what we wanted. He promptly scheduled each home, provided background knowledge of the home during each tour, and debriefed with us to make any search adjustments. We really appreciate how he was always available for every question and was prompt with his information. For each phase of the process, he explained the next steps in detail - we never felt unprepared, out of the loop, or misinformed. This made the experience extremely positive, simple, and stress-free. I highly recommend (and have been recommending) him as a realtor! Like me, you will not be disappointed by his professionalism, honesty, and knowledge. P.S. Amir got each request for the seller approved! He truly was dedicated to us and worked to go above and beyond for us. Thank you again, Amir, and the entire Homearly Team for assisting us and making our experience pleasant. read more

Found this amazing team through my bank - Schools First Federal Credit Union and glad I did. My agent was Josh T. He and his team were great to work with and patient, taking their time to explain everything to me, through the process of buying my first home. Josh's recommendations were spot on and I am so glad he was there to support me. Josh recommended a lender that I ended up working with that not only beat out the quotes from the bigger banks but was very friendly and patient. Also Josh's help through the inspections, responses, etc was incredible. He even stopped by on the date we closed to congratulate us and take a quick picture. I also really appreciated Allison's quick and thorough responses to my emailed questions. Thank you Team Homearly! read more

Just recently closed escrow with Richard & Jay's team on selling my property and buying a new home at the same time. Richard was really helpful and patient along the entire process. I would definitely use them in the future for any real estate need since I strong believe they are one of the best that I have encountered. Thank you again for all you do. read more

I spoke to several lenders during my homebuying process, and Jeff was one of the most communicative people in the whole process. The application process was very smooth. We then spoke several times regarding other offers I was looking at, and my overall plans, and he was able to provide me with several competitive financing options, along with breaking down the pro's and con's of each. In the end I went with Jeff and his team's financing offer, as he presented me with options most in line with what I was trying to accomplish with my home purchase. Jeff was basically always available for the whole process, through to closing, and if by chance he wasn't around (which was uncommon, I should add) his team was always available to answer questions. I have friends planning to try to buy soon, all of whom will be sent Jeff's way. read more

We are so glad we went with Homearly Real Estate to help us find and buy our first home. We had the absolute pleasure to work with our knowledgeable, honest, and hardworking agent, Kendall. From the first talks over the phone and email, we knew Kendall was our woman to find exactly what we where looking for in a home. We worked over email and phones calls in the beginning to help narrow down the type of home, area, and amenities we wanted. Kendall was great at helping us with areas we would like and giving general information of things we should be doing or thinking about at first time homeowners(which was a HUGE HELP). With Kendall's expertise and great home finding skills, we found our beautiful home on the first day of looking!!! We are still in shock that we found our home the first weekend of looking and that it checked off all of our boxes and then more! I can't say enough great things about Kendall with entire home buying process, from finding the home, to putting in our offer, and even going back and forth with our seller to make sure we got everything to our liking. If you are in the market for a new home and looking for an amazing, professional, helpful and responsive agent, contact Kendall at Homearly Real Estate! Thanks a million Kendall!!! read more

Called Jay to get more information regarding one of his listings, he was rather discourteous with me and unjustifiably so. I repeated a question to confirm the information that he provided was correct, his response was rude and his tone was unfriendly. It's a shame, my wife and I were very interested in submitting an offer and using Jay as our agent. If he had been more patient and less abrasive we probably would have done a deal together. read more

We worked with Kendall at Homearly who helped us get our first home in the South Bay. Kendall was incredibly knowledgable, professional, and helpful. We were first time homebuyers who had NO idea what to do. With her guidance, we were able to purchase our dream home. Thank you, Kendall - you and Homearly changed our lives!! I highly recommend Kendall, Jay, and their team! 5 stars. read more

The best realtors in OC!!! Seriously, Sam, Kara, and the entire team involved with helping my husband and I navigate this unique housing market amidst the pandemic have been nothing but extraordinary. They work hard, are thorough, knowledgeable, and super responsive, and genuinely kind people to trust to both sell our condo and help us find our forever home. Our listing included amazing professional staging (we'll be using the interior designers for our new home), 3D walkthrough and professional photography. When spending months in the process of also looking for our next home, both Sam and Kara were experts at putting us at ease when touring so many houses and submitting so many hopeful offers. Having finally found and closed escrow on our forever home, this journey has been truly satisfying because of how the Jay Bourgana Home Early Real Estate team has treated us. We even used their in-house lender when our previous one couldn't follow through. Their lender was amazingly smooth and efficient particularly with the use of Docusign. We are completely happy with our home buying experience and are so impressed by the quality of service given to us. Lots of gratitude to this team and a five-star recommendation to anyone looking to sell and buy read more

First I have to say thank you Abraham Castro for being so patient and helpful throughout the entire home buying process. Abraham was able to answer all of my questions. I felt very comfortable talking and explaining what I was looking for in a home. I am not always very clear but Abraham took the time to talk to me and listen. Homearly as a team was very helpful, there were very few moments my realtor was not able to make an appointment but fortunately we did not have to reschedule there was always someone from Homearly ready and able to make the appointment and assist in any way. This was my first time buying a home and feel very fortunate to have found such a great realtor as Abraham Castro and a great team such as Homearly. Thank you guys again, I will definitely call you guys in the future. read more

My wife and I purchased our first home last year through Jay Bourgana. Working with Jay and his team was the best decision we made. We interviewed a number of agents before deciding on working with him, and he was very supportive in our decision to deliberate before deciding. Once we decided to work with Jay, he was extremely engaged, regularly providing great advice and recommendations.  Jay and Alex were incredibly understanding, patient, and thoughtful throughout the process of finding a home. Alex took time to get to know my wife and I, and quickly understood our needs better than we ourselves could articulate. He would regularly steer us away from places that he knew might cause us problems down the road. He encouraged us to enjoy the process, and firmly believed that we would know right away when we found the right place. When we found the right place, Jay did an incredible job in landing the home purchase for us. His history of great work gave us increased credibility with the seller, and he worked throughout an evening and weekend to get our offer in quickly. But despite the hurried nature of the sale, Jay was patient, relaxed, and supportive. It is no exaggeration to say that we would not have been able to get the home we did without Jay. After the sale, Jay continued his habit of thoughtful support. From the home inspection to final closing to gathering our tax documents, Jay  was organized, professional, and courteous. Jay is a talented and brilliant representative, and a wonderful person. We are so grateful to have worked with him. And when the time comes to sell or buy a home again, there is no one else we could imagine turning to. read more

Jay Bourgana - Homearly Real Estate - Amazing realtor and you need to call him! - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Brea, California

My family decided to make the life changing move to another state and found HomEarly at random, on an internet search. We reached out to two other realtors, but honestly, after meeting Sam and Alex, we felt they were a perfect match. The first thing you'll find is that they are incredibly personable. Very genuine and don't come off as used car salespeople. Sam literally walked my family through the process and even finished up for us after we left the state. She gave her own time to have someone clean our home, and make sure that the new homebuyers had a wonderful experience moving into our sold home. And she wasn't even their agent! We felt like we made a lifelong friend! read more

My wife and I just closed on a house, after a couple months of searching. Kendall Davis, our agent, couldn't have been better. She was super helpful, prompt, and informative throughout the whole process. There was never a question or issue that Kendall wasn't ready for, or happy to help solve. She really made the whole experience seem manageable and run smoothly. After our offer was accepted, Alison Stewart came on as the Operations Coordinator while we were in escrow. She was also very helpful and always responsive with any questions we had. She kept us posted on any new steps, and let us know exactly what we needed to do. Overall thrilled with our experience, and can speak highly enough about working with these two professionals. Would greatly recommend! read more

We highly recommend the Homeearly real estate team! We were referred by our credit union, schoolsfirstfcu and we're glad we went with them. We were connected with Amir Shahbaz and he was the perfect realtor for us! Amir was consistently professional, always reliable whenever we needed to reach out to him and was very knowledgeable of every step of the home buying process. We started looking for a home at the beginning of Covid, and it took us an entire year to find the right home. Amir was patient and always very quick to respond and reach out to any new listing that we were interested in seeing. He was always quick to get an appointment for a home we wanted to see at times that fit our schedule. Over a years time, Amir made himself available at any time and we are very grateful for his dedication. He made a very stressful process in this market feel much more comfortable. He reassured us along the way and kept us motivated to keep searching for the perfect home. We felt we were in good hands with Amir at all times. When we finally found the home we ultimately purchased, Amir and Allison were on top of everything and eager to make the process as easy as possible. We couldn't have asked for better service from the Homeearly team!! Thank you Amir and team! You will not regret working with them for any of your real estate needs!! We have been recommending Amir to others since before we even landed in our new house! read more

We just closed on our dream house, and our agents were the only reason this would have happened. Sam Kungli, Alison Stewart, and Reilly Beezer were there all day, all night, weekends you name it. They never said they were busy, or that request won't work, etc. They fought through SO many obstacles we faced during our home search, and our escrow. But the reason we didn't lose hope was knowing that this team was behind us. I would and will use them no questions asked for any new properties we buy. And will 100% refer them to anyone looking to start their home buying journey!! read more

This awesome team was referred to us by our lender Schools First FCU and we were so grateful that Michelle Schiavo was assigned as our agent. Warm and professional, there is no comparison to Michelle's service. She took down our interest points and set us up with the automated MLS emails right away. As soon as I sent Michelle a home, she would contact the leasing agent and set us up with an appointment within an hour or two. She never asked us to reschedule a showing and she was always punctual. She even made us these personalized folders for each house that we saw! What struck me about Michelle is that she never discouraged our house buying journey. She supported us, answered all of our questions, and allowed us to experience the rollercoaster that is home buying, especially in a pandemic. She always had her mask and gloves on and made sure that my husband, myself and our two young children never had to touch anything or see anyone during our home views. Alison Stewart, the coordinator, was also prompt in sending us documents and answering any questions we had. Thank you Michelle, Alison and the Homearly team for making our dream home a reality! read more

Sold and bought our forever home with Rich and the team of Homearly. They truly go above and beyond in customer service and the feedback you get through the process is always smooth sailing. From the moment we met Rich we knew we wanted him to represent us in this scary process of trying to sell our current home (sold it in 1 day on the market) and buy a bigger forever home. Whenever we had questions or concerns he would return our call quickly with the answer. I would highly recommend the entire Homearly team in your buying needs. read more

I recently worked with Rich to purchase a new home for my family. Rich possesses local knowledge, process expertise, responsiveness and negotiation skills. However, I expect every agent to possess these qualities. Especially when you are purchasing a home, which is a very personal and expensive transaction. However, Rich's defining quality is that he genuinely cares for you and your family. He wants to do what is right for you as the client. When an agent treats your transaction as if it were his own, you know that you have an agent that you can trust and work with. For this reason alone, I'd undoubtedly work with Rich again anytime I am so HAPPY IN MY NEW HOME! read more

It was a great experience working with Luz Nunez and her team. Luz is excellent in her choice of career. She's very good with what she do. As a real estate agent, she made us feel very comfortable and easy to relate with. She is very professional, hard working and absolutely accommodating. Because of her, we were able to purchase a new home. She guided us in the entire process of acquiring a house. We love and appreciate all she did for us. Given the chance to buy another house in the future - without hesitation, it's her and the team we will approach again. Luz and her team is great ! More power! Noel and Teresa Ebana read more

I am very blessed working with Sam and her team members, It was extremely easy to work with and listed my house on the market and sold less than 30 days, I would definitely recommend Sam to any of my friends and family in this area.

Our escrow was basically a nightmare, but our agent Amir did an amazing job of advocating for us and making the process of purchasing our first home as smooth as possible. Since our escrow agent made so many errors there were several hiccups along the way, but Amir was extremely patient and understood where we were coming from when we expressed our frustration (not always in the most tactful way, I'm sorry!!). I never felt that he didn't have our best interest at heart, and he went above and beyond to make himself available day and night. He was very accommodating and communicated clearly and frequently with us throughout the process, and overall is a great guy and easy to talk with. We definitely would recommend his services to anyone looking for a home. read more

My fiance and i have nothing but GREAT things to say about the homerly team! We had the pleasure with working with the greatest realtor on earth, Kelsey. As first time home buyers we really knew nothing about the home buying process, but in steps Kesley to save our butts. She was very informative about the whole process. She always made herself available for meet ups and answered our texts at all hours of the day. Lucky for us, she was able to snag us our forever home. Alison made the transaction a piece of cake. We did encounter a problem with our lender (they didnt want to close escrow on the date we selected). Kelsey recommended another lender that ultimately gave us a much lower mortage rate! The only sad part of this is that we won't be seeing Kelsey as often lol Thank you Kelsey and the Homerly Team!!! read more

I had a very positive experience with Homearly! Lucas is very helpful, responsive, and super organized! He was always looking out for us and had our best interests at heart. As a first-time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and Lucas would always find the answers! He is really approachable, patient, and flexible. Time is of the essence when it comes to buying a home in So Cal, so I am very grateful for his quick response when scheduling walk-throughs. He has excellent communication and kept me updated on everything during the complicated home buying process. Thank you so much! :) read more

Kendall and the Homearly team are a class act. It was our first time buying a house so we had loads of questions every step of the way and Kendall always took time to explain things to us. She went above and beyond to find and show us listings and always took our feedback into consideration. She is kind, passionate and will stick up for you to make sure you get the best home (and deal) possible. We would recommend her time and time again! read more

We were so fortunate to have had Kendall Davis referred to us! As our Realtor, she helped us find our first home and went above and beyond making the home buying experience simple and successful during these unprecedented times of the Covid-19 pandemic. The best part about working with Kendall was that she was always focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and making sure we were informed during the entire process. Her kindness, professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much admired and appreciated. We now consider Kendall a part of our family and would highly recommend her to anyone that is searching for a new home. Thanks again to Kendall and the Homearly team for being such a pleasure to work with. We now have a beautiful house to call home. read more

Jay Bourgana - Homearly Real Estate - First home - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Brea, California

There is a simple reason Jay has such high ratings, and it's because his service is excellent. One of the things we love about Jay is his demeanor throughout the process. You never feel rushed when looking at properties with Jay or that he's trying to convince you to make a decision just so he can make a quick commission! You always feel like he's looking out for your best interest to satisfy your home requirements, no matter how long that might take. That to us is incredibly important. Luckily we found a home quickly. He listens, is patient, and has great tips and answers along the way. He is professional from beginning to end. We always felt like Jay was always available to answer any questions, whether via email, a phone call or text message. He was extremely responsive and returned any question extremely promptly. It's very important to have an agent that listens and is very patient. Shopping for a home could at times be a frustrating process, sometimes you and your significant other might not be in sync and it can turn into a back-and forth process of honing in on what you are looking for. We always felt like Jay was extremely patient through this process and always provided great feedback and advice. We highly recommend Jay and his team for your home-buying adventure. read more

My husband and I cannot recommend Homearly enough! Kendall Davis is the best realtor we could've asked for and did such an amazing job walking us through the home buying process and fighting for us to land our new home! She went above and beyond. Alison Stewart, the operations coordinator, was extremely helpful, friendly, and communicative as well and kept us informed and on time with all documentation and deadlines. We'd highly encourage any buyers/sellers out there to use this team! read more

Having Kelsey with Homearly as our realtor through the process of buying our first home was a God send! She is sincerely an expert at what she does and her knowledge of the industry is incredible. She is friendly, gracious, and patient, but knows how and when to push to get things done. Kelsey isn't a salesman; she was sincerely a partner for us through this process, and I truly felt that she had our best interest at heart, and cared about us as more than just her clients. She never pushed us to make decisions we weren't comfortable with, supported us through each of our choices, and made the home buying process more fun than stressful (which I never thought possible). We originally started out looking at condos, and even though Kelsey knew we qualified for a single family home, and our money would go further there, she never pushed or even suggested this until we brought it up. Once we brought up the idea, she gave us her thoughts on it, and helped guide us into this new territory. We went into escrow on a home that we had thought was perfect, at about the top of our budget. Unfortunately when the inspection results came back, the home was in need of some very pricey repairs, and the seller was pushing back on covering any of them. We were terrified of not only not getting our deposit back, but being stuck having to own a home that might fall apart around us, and would cost more than we anticipated to get up to code. The moment we spoke the Kelsey, all of our fears were put to rest. She calmly told us she would take care of getting us out of the contract, and get our deposit back, so we could keep looking for the right home. We simply couldn't believe it. Kelsey handled everything, and we were able to back out safely, and move on to getting our dream home (which turned out to be a home she'd shown us previously that had come back on the market!). Buying a home during COVID-19 and quarantine brought on so many new challenges, but we were still able to make it happen, and buy our dream home (which was fully renovated!), thanks to Kelsey and her team. We couldn't be more thankful, and we're so blessed to have Kelsey in our lives. read more
