My wife and I just recently made a purchase with Dwayne and could not thank you enough for all the insight that you had within the orange county market area. You really didn't know every area that was going to fit within our budget and found us exactly the right home we were looking for. Every step of the way as a new home buyer we knew absolutely nothing but Dwayne and his team knew exactly how to navigate the whole process and get us exactly what we needed from start to finish. Thank you so much to Dwayne and his staff for making the buying process super smooth and stress-free. A+++ Srevice

I purchased my first home with Orange County Realtors and had a smooth and speedy purchase with…read morethem. Dwayne and Al were very professional throughout the whole process. They scheduled a viewing of the home immediately. I was able to see it the day after I had contacted them. This was a huge benefit since I got in before the scheduled open house. Dwayne was able to explain the process and made everything easy to understand as I was a first time homebuyer and was clueless. Any questions I had were quickly answered...and let me tell ya, I had a lot. We closed within 30 days and the major things that needed to be fixed were fixed thanks to Dwayne's negotiating. Also, they put me in contact with a very reputable lender who got me a really good interest rate on my loan. I would highly recommend using Orange County Realtors for any of your real estate needs!

Working with Melissa has been one of the most meaningful parts of our home journey--and at this…read morepoint, she feels more like a friend than just our real estate agent. She helped my husband and I buy our very first home as a married couple, and from the beginning, what stood out most was how she treated us. Even as first-time buyers, we always felt like we had the same level of attention, care, and focus as her larger, more established clients. That meant a lot to us--and it's a big reason why we've continued to work with her and confidently recommend her to family. When it came time to sell that first home, Melissa absolutely delivered. She helped us sell over asking--far beyond what we thought was possible--and even generated hundreds of people through our open house weekend. She's also gone on to help our family members buy their first homes and even rent out investment property, which speaks volumes about the trust we all have in her. Naturally, when it came time for us to buy again, she was our first call. Our lives had grown--we were expecting our first baby when we got the keys to our first home, and by the time we sold, we were pregnant with our second. Melissa has been there through all of it. She understands how I operate, she understands our family dynamic (and can manage lots of opinions!), and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. Even more impressive is that both homes she's helped us buy were outside of her typical areas of expertise--but you would never know it. She showed up with the same depth of knowledge, confidence, and strategic guidance as if she specialized in those exact markets, and that gave us so much trust in every decision we made. Buying and selling can be stressful, but Melissa makes the process not only manageable, but actually enjoyable--with her experience, knowledge, and sense of humor. She truly listened to our concerns, kept up with our fast-paced decision making, and made us feel supported every step of the way. This time, she helped us land what we hope will be our forever home--in a highly coveted neighborhood we honestly didn't think we'd be able to get into. It's a place where we can raise our kids, enjoy a beautiful cul-de-sac, be part of a great school district, and create a home that reflects who we are. We didn't have to compromise on what mattered most to us, and that's something we didn't think was possible. We wouldn't be here without Melissa. We're incredibly grateful for her and can't recommend her enough.

She's on the ball, thoughtful and adaptive to our needs. She helped us to find the perfect family for our home quickly.

Suzanne was responsive and supportive every step of the way. She gave us guidance and in turn we did our part to ensure that we provided her with all the information that we could so that she could take the ball and run with it. In our case there was so much information & so many details to cover (as I never lived in this unit), it seemed overwhelming but Suzanne walked us through the whole process. Trust in expertise is imperative for a sale like this one - everything was time sensitive and she had suggestions at each turn to ensure that the deal worked out well for all parties. It also was also crucial that she specialized in our neighborhood - she knew the area and has a history working with the kind of clients that would buy in RHE.

Keegan and his team are knowledgeable, efficient, but most importantly, make their clients feel cared for. The process of buying a home is daunting, but Keegan has a unique ability to establish strong working relationships with his clients that puts them at ease every single time. I have recommended him to friends, family, and even my own clients all of which have been very pleased with the services that he and his team have to offer.

I am so thankful for the great care, time Keegan Cin and Michael McAndrews gave to my husband and…read moreI, as well as the education and advocacy they provided as first time buyers. I am not sure there are enough positive surpurlatives that I can use to describe Keegan and Michael's qualities as a real estate agents but I'll try... Integrity - this was important to me. These guys hold themselves to a higher ethical standard and behaved and communicated professionally. Also - Keegan and Michael were working with my savings! With their guidance and support they proved they were trustworthy. They proved we could relay on both of them to be communicative with all parties involved, punctual with timelines and calls with updates. They genuinely a good people. Keegan and Michael taught me that real estate agents are advocates for their clients and they held true to that promise. I hope the rest of this review highlights that commitment. Determination - Keegan and Michael were always determined to succeed in our offer. While they never gave up and were relentless with our deal, they were also tactful, professional and polite with our seller. Keegan and Michael made my partner and I feel like succeeding was the focus and main goal. Detailed orientated and problem solvers- Keegan and Michael were able to focus on details and solve any and all issues that came up. They were able to help us solve problems with in our budget. I am so thankful we found these men to trust with our money and our dream of buying our first home. Self motivated - Keegan and Michael were the first and last people working on our case. I don't know where they get the energy and organizational skills from but they worked together, were top of every detail and no one had to ask them anything or remind them. They kept sellers / seller agent accountable as well. I have all the faith in the world that these agents would work just as hard for anyone else. Great negotiation skills - Keegan and Michael walked us through the negotiation process. They looked ahead strategically and communicated with us every step of the way. Well dressed - Keegan and Michael will show up in a smart well fitted suit and Keegan knows good Italian leather when he sees it. You can assume these two will dress like professionals which I believe helped us win over the sellers too. Amazing communication - I already hinted at this but I was blown away with how well Michael and Keegan communicated with us, the sellers, seller agents, and the mortgage broker. They were constantly fielding questions by us, and proved to be good and patient listeners never tiring with our questions and needs. Also, they gave us the time and space we needed to make our own decisions. Keegan and Michael both asked good questions to get a holistic view of us and our wants/ needs and helped us with realistic expectations. One or the other would always got back to us when promised, often in joint calls together. They both have charming smiles, a kind demeanor, confidence, wit, humor, and intelligence which helped us communicate across the board. In my experience these agents were fantastic and enthusiastic real estate agents and treated my partner and I very well. I have been known to be a good judge of character. If someone ever has a negative experience with Keegan I would be very very surprised.

We had a perfect experience buying our home with Candice. She's so personable. We worked with other…read moreagents in the past who were very pushy and made the process stressful. Candice is low pressure, she doesn't rush you or try to persuade you to do anything--she truly works for you. She is very busy but you would never know she has any other clients because she makes herself available when you want to look at properties and when she is with you she gives you 100% of her attention. She is very smart and very strategic. We felt confident relying on her expertise. For any houses you are interested in, she gets to know the selling agent and makes sure they know who she is and who her clients are. She finds out exactly what the seller is looking for and customizes every offer. We were able to buy a fixer-upper home that had 20 other offers on it--including cash offers--thanks to Candice. And after closing she continued to go above and beyond helping us find contractors to remodel so we could move in as soon as possible. She is a gem. If you are looking to buy locally she's your agent!

We never felt pressured in any way to make a purchase or bid beyond what we felt comfortable with (we bid on three different homes!). Candice was always very on point in the guidance she gave us. When we refused to waive the inspection contingency on this house, Candice advocated for us and (miraculously) found a way to help us get the inspections we needed for our peace of mind. Candice came out multiple times to the home to meet me as I met with various contractors for quotes on renovations prior to our closing. She kept our 3 year old entertained while we spoke with said contractors. Her dedication is next level. I assure you, you will not find anyone better. Candice is so kind and caring, it is no wonder she has nothing but 5 star reviews on Yelp. She is universally liked by everyone from her clients to inspectors to contractors to loan officers, because she is truly just such a wonderful person. Talking with her is like talking with family. She is patient and responsive. She answers texts and phone calls all day everyday; I have no idea how she keeps this up with all her clients, but she does. We cannot recommend Candice enough and are so grateful we had her on our side during this home buying process.

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.

We were first time home buyers and didn't know the first thing about what we were getting into. My only knowledge of real estate comes from watching too many silly reality tv shows, and her capabilities far exceed any of those people. Sorry, not sorry.

We had so many questions and she was always willing to help, whether it was doing research or immediately having a solution. She has a breadth of resources and it is clear that other vendors enjoy working with her. We would work with her again in an instant and definitely will be recommending her to everyone. We trusted throughout the entire process that she had our best interest in mind.
