I could tell from our initial conversation after the buyers introduced us that this was going to be a great experience. She worked tirelessly showing multiple properties to her first-time homebuyers, from Long Beach down to Costa Mesa. She ultimately found them the perfect home and worked her magic to get their offer accepted against very fierce competition. Immediately after escrow opened, she was on top of things and got everyone on the same page. It was a quick 21 day escrow, so her organization and communication really made a difference. She eventually got our buyers a huge seller credit which is almost unheard of in this market. The buyers were ecstatic! Julie was there next to our buyers every single step of the day. We eventually closed right on time and the buyers told me it was such a great experience with Julie. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. She will always put you first!

We were able to field multiple offers and she got us the best price for our home. She guided me and answered any questions I had through both buying and selling. When the buyers were slow to respond and commit, she had no problem communicating and resolving their hesitation and answering all their questions with their agent. When the opportunity comes up again to buy a future home, I will definitely be going with her as my agent for all future properties.

Wonderful Experience Buying Our First Home with Sara Demsky…read more As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions and nerves going into the process, but Sara Demsky made everything feel manageable from day one. She was patient, knowledgeable, realistic, fantastically honest and authentic and always willing to explain things very clearly every step of the way -- no matter how small the detail. Sara took the time to understand what we were really looking for and helped us explore neighborhoods and options that fit both our budget and our lifestyle. Her communication was truly excellent -- she was responsive, transparent, and proactive throughout the entire process and always available, even on weekends and after hours. When it came time to make an offer and close, Sara's experience and calm confidence made all the difference. She guided us through every step with care and attention, and we always felt she had our best interests in mind. Sara was methodical, level, truthful and immensely supportive in guiding us to all resources needed for inspections to insurance. It was a 1000% easier than we had anticipated. Thanks to Sara, we landed in our dream home and felt supported the whole way through. We'd happily recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional, and trustworthy real estate agent. Excellent experience, 10 out of 10. :)

My wife and I were first home buyers and are proud members of the LGBTQ community. We had no idea of the process, paperwork or negotiations associated with purchasing a house. Janet was amazing with us. She was respectful of our choices, patient, spent time explaining each step, never got annoyed when we asked the same question twice, had an eye for detail, kept all parties on task, always had a smile and was a lot of fun. We closed escrow within 15 days and I honestly believe this was because of Janet's work ethic. She was always on top of things and would checkin daily with updates and support. Can't thank Janet and her team enough. An awesome realtor, wonderful person and great ally of the LGBTQ Community! Thank you!!!!

I looked out my window yesterday, and saw a boy putting a piece of paper onto my gate. I opened the…read morewindow, and told him to remove it, but he left it anyway. A little while later, it fell off, and I had to go to retrieve it. It turned out to be a cheap paper advertisement from this realtor, Kelly Laird Smith. I decided to call her, and explain nicely why she should not be sticking her advertising on people's gates, and how she is breaking the law. I also told her that many realtors in the area mail their brochures, and she is showing her lack of professionalism. Instead of thanking me for my input, and apologizing for putting trash on my property, she said in an indignant tone, "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!!" Class is how you act when no one is looking. Realtors are a dime a dozen. Look elsewhere. Update I see a response from this realtor this evening. Ms. Laird Smith is giving false information about our conversation today. She DID NOT ask for my address, she simply got hostile, and stated, "DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO." If she had simply apologized, asked for my address, and promised to not stick flyers on our gate in the future, then we would have been satisfied. It is indeed illegal to place flyers on people's private property. We get glossy brochures mailed to us almost every day from other realtors. What do you think about a realtor who sticks a piece of cheap paper on your gate, and then gets nasty when you nicely call them out on it, and then lies on Yelp? It's irrelevant about the family situation of the boy who stuck the paper on our gate. Ms. Laird Smith could have hired him to mow her lawn, or perform other tasks for her.

After meeting with 4 realtors, she stood out by having my best interest in mind and possessed the patience through 6 months of house hunting until I found my dream home. Since then, her office has grown into the Shannon Jones Team (SJT), composed of an office manager, additional realtors, including Brad-her husband, and marketing. Because they are such an exceptional Team, I've worked with them through 4 real estate transactions to date. Most recently, we hired the Shannon Jones Team to sell our home. The experience was exceptional from start to finish, as they are consummate professionals who possess valuable expertise, communication and marketing skills, while providing strategies to maximize the best possible outcome. Initially, we requested and received valuable feedback on how to improve our home to appeal to more buyers. Despite not having a lot of trade contacts, they were able to provide trusted references, whom we hired and were pleased with the results! The Shannon Jones Team excels in marketing too! From the listing description and professional photos, to the drone video and 3D tours, they made our home SHINE! Another area they excel is communication. After the open house, they informed us of the number of visiting groups and shared some remarks. Additionally, the Shannon Jones Team is very responsive and will communicate via text, calls, in person, and Zoom to keep everything moving forward. I appreciate how patient they were when answering multiple questions, while frequently providing updates throughout the process. Finally, we appreciated how tech-savvy they were with the use of spreadsheets, cloud storage, and electronic forms. The data and documents were always accessible, well-presented, and in a user-friendly format. As you can probably determine, I'm a loyal SJT client, as they are truly an exceptional realtor whom you can trust. I've referred the Shannon Jones Team to family and friends and will continue to do so, because I know my loved ones will be in good hands.

Over the years, we saw how well Shannon and her team marketed other Rose Park homes. When it finally came time for us to sell, we knew they'd do the best job for us. Selling our place from out-of-state was inevitably stressful, but Shannon, Brad, and David kept us completely up-to-date on the status of the sale throughout the process. We were very pleased that our buyer agreed to use Shannon's team as her agent as well - it streamlined the sale process and saved us a substantial amount on commissions and other selling costs. We were very happy with the price that we ultimately agreed to, and the speed with which the sale was completed. We would happily recommend The Shannon Jones Team to other property owners in Rose Park and the greater Long Beach area. They know the market and know how to take good care of their clients.

She always made herself available, day or night, when I had questions. She went above and beyond to make the experience as smooth as possible.

Ultimately, the seller accepted our final offer, and I couldn't be happier. In addition to working closely with the seller's agent and me, Suzanne stayed in close contact with my mortgage broker to ensure the process was smooth. We ultimately closed on the house 15 business days after opening escrow! I could not imagine going through this process without Suzanne representing me and my interests.
