We recently had to sell our parent's house in Mission Viejo. Due to market volatility and other…read morefactors, we needed to sell quickly but also wanted to get good value from the sale. After interviewing 4 sets of Realtors, we decided to work with Dave Gubler and IML Real Estate. Dave listened to our concerns and priorities and described his approach to marketing houses. His use of "disruptive digital marketing" and what he called "the juice" seemed like the right combination. We had a short window to get the house on the market and sold and Dave worked closely with us to arrange everything so that the open house happened just 6 weeks after we first met and 1 week after we finished the estate sale. Dave did a virtual staging which made it easier for us to clear out the house. After the first open house Dave received and shared with us 8 or so offers within the next few days and within the week we had 12 offers total to pick from. Dave had priced the house appropriately, but at a price we all agreed was a solid return. Due to all of Dave's marketing we had multiple offers and actually ended up with a higher sales price than we had hoped for. Throughout the process Dave and IML Real Estate bent over backward to answer our questions, make positive suggestions and help out in every way possible. It was a pleasure working with Dave, and we really appreciated that he listened to what we wanted and didn't try to push expensive remodeling when it was clear that it didn't fit our time-line or end goals. Dave's knowledge of the market in Mission Viejo, and his disruptive digital marketing helped us get our parent's house into a successful escrow at an excellent price just 8 weeks after we first met with him. During the same period, we saw multiple houses in the area on the market for months, often selling for much less than originally posted. We had an excellent experience with Dave and highly recommend him and IML Real Estate.

Dave put my house on the market at the same price that my former real estate agent had failed to sell the house at and he got us a full-price offer in less than a week. The house closed 30 days later. Dave made the difference through savvy marketing and an in-depth understanding of how to appeal to today's buyers. I cannot recommend Dave more highly!

Reached out for realtors in Mission Viejo via Yelp since I don't live in the area and…read more I was contacted by Kathe. I explained that I had a distressed property that I needed to sell in Mission Viejo above the lake. Kathe understood where I was going with the sale and property and was quick to meet with me and quick to start bringing investors by to look at the property. Within days we had multiple cash offers and hit the "magic" number I needed for the sales price. The process was quick and Kathe made it so easy. She went above and beyond also checking on the vacant property when I wasn't in town. Kathe also helped me set up an estate sale at the property. When I say Kathe exceeded my expectations, that is truly an understatement. Kathe was freaking awesome! From start to finish; the process was simple and I was kept in the loop by her and her escrow company. Thanks again Kathe for the outstanding job you did. I cannot recommend Kathe enough when it comes to all your real estate needs.

They are very knowledgeable of the area, and they also live in Laguna Woods. My journey started back in June 2023 when I took the LW bus tour with some friends to see the entire community. The tour provided a general overview and impression of the community, the beautiful grounds and the amenities. The part that was missing from the LW bus tour was information about the business details, how it all worked and the next steps to learn about a property. The tour guide suggested that I find a relator to help me learn about the leasing and buying process. I found Jon and Kathy Wallin after reading their yelp reviews. I called Jon and he suggested I come for a visit. In September 2023, Jon and Kathy gave me a personal tour and showed me a few properties and the community. It provided a great opportunity to learn, ask questions about co-ops and the real estate process. I really enjoyed the tour and knew then I would seriously consider moving to Laguna Woods in 2024. Jon and Kathy kept in touch with me for the months after the tour to see if I needed anymore information during this time. June 2024, I decided to sell my home in Los Angeles and start planning a move to Laguna Woods. Jon and Kathy helped me find a place to rent for a 3 to 4 months while I looked for a place to buy. This proved to be a huge advantage to live there and learn about the different neighborhoods and look at properties. November 2024, I moved to a rental and started looking to buy. January 2024, I purchased a home and closed end of February Jon and Kathy were invaluable during the entire real estate transaction, inspection and HOA process to make this as seamless as possible. They are professional and so generous with their time, and I couldn't have navigated the process without all their support and kindness. I highly recommend Jon and Kathy Wallin to help you to find a home in Laguna Woods.

Within a week of the MLS going live and the open house we had 13 offers at or over asking! The resulting sale was $200,000 over listing (a 17% increase)!

I truly cannot recommend him enough. When our second child was born, we knew we needed more space. Willis helped us find the perfect home within just a month--great location, excellent schools, close to work, and near friends and family. We started house hunting in September, and by the end of the month, we had found a new place we're proud to call home. As the Raiders would say--a commitment to excellence--Willis continually demonstrates exceptional dedication, responsiveness, and genuine care. His professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to make a stressful process feel seamless sets him apart. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Willis will get you across the finish line.

From the beginning, she asked thoughtful, strategic questions and gave me recommendations that made the entire process of renting out my house so much easier. I had so many things in my house that I felt completely overwhelmed trying to figure out where to even start. Linda gave me clear direction and helped me navigate the entire process from beginning to end. What I appreciate most is that she genuinely goes above and beyond. She is the kind of person who feels more like a trusted friend or family member than an agent. She stayed up late helping me sell things, figure out what to do next, and keep everything moving. She does not just tell you what needs to be done. She takes initiative and helps make it happen. As someone who is very picky and has high expectations, I can honestly say that I absolutely loved working with Linda. She is exactly the quality of real estate agent I would want: someone who is a go-getter, takes ownership, thinks strategically, and truly cares about her clients. I would highly, highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a real estate agent who will go the extra mile for you!

My husband and I had the privilege of working with Liz to sell my mother-in-law's home after she…read morepassed away in August 2025. We first met Liz in September 2025, and from the very beginning, we were incredibly impressed. What immediately set her apart was her approach to pricing the home. Rather than relying solely on neighborhood comps like most agents, she used a sophisticated valuation system that factored in the home's condition, upgrades, and improvements over time. She walked us through how the software evaluated renovations such as kitchen and bathroom updates, roofing projects, and other investments by considering when the work was completed, what was spent, and the local return on investment. It was fascinating to see such a detailed and thoughtful approach to determining the home's true market value. During that first meeting, Liz also took the time to thoroughly explain the market conditions and discuss the best timing for listing the property to maximize its value. She confidently told us that once listed, the home would likely sell within three to four weeks. After months of preparing the house, which included cleaning out more than 50 years of memories and belongings, we finally listed the property in April 2026. Throughout the entire process, Liz provided exceptional guidance every step of the way. She was knowledgeable, patient, and never once pushy. She always presented us with information and options, allowing us to make informed decisions while trusting her expertise. That trust paid off. Just as she predicted, we received multiple offers and sold the home within three weeks! Liz exceeded every expectation we had. She made what could have been an overwhelming and emotional experience feel smooth, peaceful, and manageable during a very stressful and heartbreaking time for our family. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication are truly unmatched. Elizabeth Do is a gift, both in her work ethic and in her humanity. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Liz, you are truly the GOAT!
