Look him up on Zillow and you will see that he has a proven record of helping home sellers and buyers. I'm dedicating my 500th Yelp review to James! Desperate to find a listing agent as soon as possible after a really bad experience with the first agent we used, he was the one that answered my phone call and showed up the next day for a one on one meet and greet. If only we had him as our agent from day one! Even though our property sale was just for a small condo, James supported us like it was a million dollar listing. I felt like our listing was in good hands through the entire process. Thank you, James for handling the sale of our condo!

We met Sarah from Drake through a family member's recommendation. My husband and I have both bought…read morehomes and worked with real estate agents in the past. Sarah was by far the best agent either of us had ever worked with. Her knowledge, not just about real estate laws and practices, but also regional resources and market values, was accurate and valuable. She negotiated our home purchase to account for needed repairs as well as other factors at play concerning the solar panel lease. She had experience with solar lease companies as well. She has a great team of contractors and other service businesses who did thorough examinations, explained their findings, and made recommendations. Then we sold our condo. My jaw is still on the floor. We moved out on a Monday, came back for the last few items Wednesday. Repairs and cleaning were finished within 2 weeks, and the house was staged and listed with gorgeous photos and video. We were in escrow for $35k over asking price one week after hitting the market. One weekend of open houses. They requested a 20 day escrow and we closed after 20 days. The end! I almost wish we needed to buy or sell another place just to work with Sarah from Drake again.

She has a small crew that helped me move furniture and then took many items for donation. She knows many vendors- photographer, deep cleaner, garage door repair, carpet installers, etc that saved me so much time from having to find these contractors myself. On top of this- she staged my home with designer furniture and decor that looked amazing in photos and at the open house! What other realtor can you find that would do this as part of their standard service? I sold another home before and I had to pay $3500 myself for a design company to stage it! Best of all, in the end she got the job done! She negotiated assertively for a competitive price. The buyer asked for 10k in repairs, and Jacki drove it down in half. Jacki was a pleasure to work with in the whole process, Highly Recommend!!

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!

Best experience I have EVER had working with any real estate agent or Realtor!!…read more I've bought/sold two homes in the past working with at least 3 Realtors through the process and Liz and her team delivered the best experience BY FAR! My wife and I worked with Liz on the purchase of our new dream house in Orange County. From the start she was going above and beyond what we were expecting. We called rather suddenly when a property showed up on the market and scheduled to go see it with her. We weren't seriously looking before this. By the time we got to the property she and her team already had a good understanding of the history of the listing and were working comps real time to give us a clear understanding of what fair market value would be. Even adjusting it for what we were seeing in person at the property. We weren't certain if it was more of a buyer's market or a seller's market as it had been a seller's market for so long, but she explained the current conditions/trends of what she was seeing in the area and gave us EXCELLENT advice every step of the way. But she was also never pushy. She ultimately left it up to us to make the decision with the information she provided. We trusted her expertise and it absolutely paid off, literally. We got a deal on the property that we are very happy with. She offered great advice on everything from prices, timing, and even when to potentially walk away. Liz has a team of people that really seem to communicate as a team, not just a group of individuals working under the same company name. In passing conversations Liz talked about how she and her team work together, and it does seem like they get to share in each others expertise and experiences to develop a good understanding of the market. Liz also talked about what she does to train her team, and she seems like a great leader. No one looks left behind to fend for themselves, and it seems very structured so that everyone has support and training to deliver great customer service. Liz has a great reputation in the area which I think was a huge benefit in our case. The seller's Realtor already knew Liz and trusted her. We happened to meet the seller's Realtor, and even without Liz present, the seller's Realtor had nothing but great things to say about their interactions. Her expertise really does seem to be in demand as she seemed to be giving seminars or talks to audiences even outside of her team. Even with her busy schedule it never really impacted the scheduling of events at our home. She always still met us at the property for events like home inspections, walk throughs, and giving us the keys to the property. She always provided great communication and was very responsive whether it was through e-mail, calls or texts to help answer questions. I can be "particular" (picky) about some things and whenever I brought up a question or concern, no matter how small, she never dismissed it or tried to excuse it as something I didn't need to worry about. She took my concerns seriously and got them addressed. Out of everything, I think this is what I am most grateful for as it kept me comfortable working with her and I never felt like she was just trying to "close a deal", which was my preconceived notion of Realtors unfortunately. She really does seem to care for her clients and making sure they are happy. I would 100% work with Liz again!

I saw Alex's signs a lot and recently a house sold on my street for above the listing price. When I called Alex for consultation I knew I had found my guy! He was patient, thorough and very informative. He and his team immediately went to work. My house was in really good shape as it was, but WOW - when his team got hold of it, it absolutely sparkled! His entire team, the stagers, the handymen, the cleaners and all the co-workers in the office worked so hard for me. Everyone was just amazing. My house sold very quickly and for a little over 115K over the asking price. When problems arose with the buyers during escrow, Alex with there every step of the way, always available to talk and text to calm, reassure me and ultimately solve every problem.

We first connected with Ramon in 2025 when we were considering selling our home. After several conversations, we realized we were not yet financially ready to move forward. Even though Ramon had already invested time and effort into helping us evaluate our options, he never made us feel pressured or guilty about our decision. He remained supportive and checked in periodically throughout the year without ever being pushy. A year later, when we were finally ready to sell, choosing Ramon and his team was an easy decision. From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly communicative and professional. They created a group chat with my husband and me, which made it easy to stay informed, ask questions, and receive updates throughout the process. Ramon and his team also did an excellent job coordinating showings. They ensured we had the ability to approve or decline requests based on our schedule and convenience, which gave us time to prepare and made the process much less stressful. When we eventually received an offer, due to our personal financial circumstances we were facing the possibility of bringing money to closing. (This situation was entirely unrelated to Ramon or his team and was simply the result of not having paid down enough of our mortgage) Ramon was generous enough to voluntarily reduce his commission, which helped us walk away from the sale with money in our pockets. That act alone speaks volumes about his character, integrity, and commitment to his clients. Ramon genuinely cares about the people he represents and consistently puts their best interests first. Despite a slower condo market in our area, he successfully got our property sold and guided us through every challenge with professionalism and compassion. We are incredibly grateful for all of the hard work, dedication, and support that Ramon and his team provided!
