Mike Angelos helped us buy and sell our primary residence, and he also helped my family sell my…read moregrandmother's house. Three transactions. Three awesome experiences. Here's why ... #1 - Mike knows the Fresno market and can set proper, accurate pricing expectations accordingly. Both the homes he helped us sell sold in a matter of days, and one got multiple offers over the asking price. With the house he helped us buy, he was able to negotiate a fair price that both we and the sellers were comfortable with ... quickly. #2 - Mike has a network of trusted vendors, which simplifies every step of the process. From inspectors and contractors, lenders and insurance, to title and escrow ... everyone he referred us to and worked with were professionals. They all took great care of us and minimized our stress. #3 - Mike is professional, courteous, and always respectful of our time. We felt that he always put our needs first, that he was looking out for our best interests. He gave good recommendations for getting our homes market-ready and kept us well-informed during the entire process. I highly recommend Mike Angelos, whether you're buying or selling a home in the Fresno-Clovis area. Get to know him for yourself, and I'm sure you'll agree with me.

This review is a long time coming…read more In 2016, we were dreaming of our first home, we worked with an agent and our offers always came in 2nd. We finally got an offer accepted, but it fell through because I was changing jobs. We were heart broken and had some tax issues so we stopped looking for awhile. In 2019, my husband lost his job. We were struggling to make ends meet because I was the only one that was working. Fast forward to 2020, we had lost my grandfather and my father in law. Things were looking bleak. We were both deeply depressed. However, our dream of being homeowners never wavered. I had worked with two agents by now and decided to shop around for another agent. I came across Kam Wade and Darren Wade who helped my dear, departed friend, Lydia, buy her first home. I literally stalked Kam's social media and read every one of her success stories. I wanted to be part of that. Kam is a straight shooter. She tells it like it is. She said come back with a pre approval before I can show you a home. We worked on our credit and came back a few months later. She referred us to a few lenders, but I was able to find my own. We were pre-approved for 5 thousand dollars less than before because of my husband being unemployed for a year. When we were looking in 2016, we were being picky about certain locations and things. We knew we needed to take a few steps back and humble ourselves. We walked through a house that was small and needed work. $10,000 less than our loan approval. I had been watching the market everyday so I knew I had to put an offer in at the full amount we were approved for. Kam said not to fall in love with it too much in case it gets rejected. Kam put in an offer for us right away. We wrote a personal letter. Kam called us a week later as we were coming home from Dinuba to let us know our very first offer we put in on the first house we looked at with her was accepted. It was later in the evening, we were driving north on Clovis, right before Jensen. I personally think that her befriending the selling agent and a little sweet talk got our offer accepted. We were able to close in a little over a month and became homeowners in October of 2020, right before the market went crazy in 2021. She also gifted us oue home sweet home wooden sign that I have hanging above our entertainment center so we have a little bit of the Wades in our home. Our house isn't anything fancy, it's a charming, small tower district home, but it is ours and we've built some equity on it. Even though our house was one of the houses that costed less money than a lot of the houses that they've sold, Kam and Darren doesn't treat us any differently. They still send us invites to client appreciation events. Every year, they do a client appreciation event at Wild Waters, they do tacos for Cinco de Mayo, they give out pumpkins and have trunk or treats, they give out large pies every Thanksgiving and have this awesome and delicious charcuterie table laid out with lots of wine at the event. They also give lots of advice about building generational wealth and buying and investing on different platforms. I look up to them immensely. It's not just about them being generous with things, it's the fact that they care. They also contribute to different charities in Fresno. I am not ready to sell and buy yet because my house still needs some work, but when I do and when i am ready to invest in a rental property which is also a dream, Strive will be our forever realtors.

Within the Strive group, we worked with Darren Wade primarily, but everyone we had contact with was…read moreprofessional, friendly, and worked with a sense of urgency. If you want an agent who can really get what you need done--and who brings a sense of humility, a sense of humor and real common sense along with real estate expertise, then I fully recommend Darren Wade. We spoke to several talented professionals and even had friends that are agents who are capable of selling our home. We chose Darren to represent us. The final kicker? He pays it forward by donating a portion of his earned commissions right back into the local community. Darren speaks volumes with his actions, not just his words. He listened intently, took notes, spent the time to research meaningful data (vs just a few comps), used technology with expertise to help with marketing, and guided us through the entire property selling process. Working with Darren and his team at Strive was absolutely the right choice for us to meet our goals.

I guarantee you they get the job done. Thanks Bryan and Colleen!

You simply will not find a more knowledgeable real estate broker than Jeff Schrager; he is exactly the type of person you want on your side during such an important transaction.

As out-of-town sellers, communication was especially key and we were kept in the loop every step of the way. And we even closed ahead of schedule! My husband and I can't praise this team enough and are so thankful for the fantastic job they did for us. Thank you, Jeff, Kelly & Evy!

Before I started this review, I went into the roster for Realty Concepts just to count the number…read moreof family names, holding a Real Estate license, who are currently employed by this broker, JP. At 220 licensed employees, I stopped counting. If you read the opening Web Site page, you will notice that Realty Concepts is a "Family Own Business". Wow, I have never seen such a large FAMILY with so many licensed Realtors in my life!! JP wants you to believe that they are all family. People, this is called deception at it's best. My wife and I contacted Realty Concepts because we were new to the area, did not know anything about country living, they had good reviews, and Cathie Jensen seemed like a very honest person. We were a little gun shy because we are both seniors, and people take advantage of seniors. (62 and 74) Looking for our retirement home, and laying out a big investment was a huge step for both of us. Our very first day with Cathie, she not only filled us with lies, but also committed fraud a get this purchase into escrow. Cathie was out of state on vacation, and never told us. Half way through the 35 day escrow, so many things were going wrong, manager Rick Tomasello took over the sale, because we refused to have Cathie represent us any further. This entire 35 day escrow, was a total disaster. We felt even Mr. Tomasello failed his responsibilities to us. Months after the close of escrow, we took our complaints to the Broker JP, hoping for some answers to our concerns about the sale. The management of Realty Concepts laughed at us during the conference meeting that JP had scheduled. After that, JP has turned his back to this issue, and has walked away. Professional?? I'm retired law enforcement for L.A., and I will continue to do my best to warn people, of the reckless and criminal people that plague society. Don't ever trust Realty Concepts of Fresno. We have lost thousands and thousands of dollars. This will go to court.

If you're looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients beyond just buying or selling a…read morehome, I cannot recommend Lynette enough. What started as a professional relationship turned into something much more meaningful for my family and I. For over a year, Lynette stood by us through every step of the journey searching for our forever home. She was patient, honest, supportive, and never once made us feel rushed or pressured. No matter how many homes we viewed or questions we had, she stayed committed to helping us find the perfect fit for our family. And in the end...we found it. Our forever home is everything we hoped for and more. What makes Lynette different is the genuine care she shows for the people she works with. She didn't just get to know me, she got to know my boys too. She always treated them with kindness, included them in the process, brought them gifts, and even donated money toward my son's upcoming fight fundraiser. Those are things a realtor doesn't have to do, but she did them because that's the kind of person she is. Buying a home is one of the biggest milestones in life, and having someone like Lynette in your corner makes all the difference. She became more than just our realtor, she became a family friend. We are forever grateful for everything she has done for us, and I can confidently say we would not have wanted to go through this journey with anyone else. Thank you, Lynette, for helping make this dream a reality.
