I came across Mr Self while browsing online listings for lots in Lake Elsinore. I told him I was…read morelooking for a buyer's agent. He agreed to meet me in his office to share some local listings of lots for sale in the area. I explained that I had been looking in the area for some time, that I was in a time crunch to purchase before year end. When I arrived I also met his business partner / landlord Tim Flemming, who introduced himself as the Mr Fix it of the local real estate community. They proceeded to show me several of their off market private listings, none had prices, square footage, or any site maps, title details or zoning. They did drive me by just one unsuitable lot that was actually listed for sale. I returned again and followed Mr Self around on another tour of Mr Flemming's pocket off market listings, one of which did actually catch my interest, despite no details beng made available. Despite promises of prompt emails and follow up calls with details for that particular property, it's zoning, it's square footage and asking price, along with the addresses for several other lots that I had seen online, which were actually listed for sale, I heard nothing more for two days. When I finally did connect with Mr Self I reminded him of my previously acknowledged time constraint. I shared that I was hoping to be shown properties that I could actually purchase. He still had no basic information regarding their pocket listings to share. At which point Mr Self told me he did not want to work with me, that we were not a good fit. Disappointing really since I wasn't interested in a relationship with the guy, I was merely looking for an honest buyer's representative real estate professional, one without an agenda. Clearly my expectations of basic follow up and customer service were not going to be met. Nor was I ever going to get to view listings outside of their own pocket deals, none of which were supported by even basic data. Mr Self suggested I hire them post sale for $250 an hour, to access their building department relationships, they wanted me to retain them as my project's permit expeditor. In conclusion I will say Mr Self was polite, convivial and knowledgeable about the area, but seemed bound to Mr Flemming and unable to operate independently, or to provide basic actionable data in a timely manner. I regret the waste of time.

The final result was a prompt sale at a gratifyingly high price, producing a wonderful financial result for our family member. When it's time for you to sell, look no further: Bryan is the best! By the way, he's a nice fellow, too!

You might be tempted to put little importance on the older review by a couple who signed a contract…read morewith Bryan and then found that Bryan was too busy to be bothered. This review is to confirm that in all these years his M.O. hasn't changed. He still goes MIA after he convinces you to use him as your agent. In a complicated financial and legal transaction, you shouldn't have to keep leaving voicemails searching for your agent. If he's too busy to help you when you need it, then he's not worth the high commissions he is asking from you. Remember, you're not buying the property from him. You're paying him to provide a service. If he isn't consistently available to his cliens, then the value of his service is poor. Ask for recommendations from friends and do your research before you choose an agent. Lastly, avoid using additional services he recommends. They overcharge and are rude to clients. I wouldn't be surprised if Bryan received kickbacks for steering business to his friends.

Arji has helped me refinance my home not once but on three different occasions over several years…read moreand is currently working on one for my mother. Arji is my "go to" when it comes to refinancing and he will be my "go to" if I ever decide to sell and buy another home. I don't have a lot of knowledge when it comes a lot of this and I've had a lot of "explain like I'm five" questions. Arji has always been understanding and explains things so I understand exactly what's going on throughout the entire process. All of my experiences with Arji have been nothing but the best, and far beyond than what could be expected. Arji is very knowledgeable and very honest and I couldn't imagine using anyone else when it comes to my needs as a homeowner in dealing with refinancing etc. I've had a couple friends of mine use Arji for their home refinancing and they had a great experience as well. I can't say enough great things about Arji and the hard work he puts in to make things go easy.

I don't write many reviews in fact this is my very first review of a business and person. I felt…read morecompelled to write this review of Arji Rashidi for his realtor and mortgage skills at Cornerstone Mortgage. First off, I have worked in the mortgage industry and personally worked with many lenders, banks, mortgage specialists, realtors and sold and bought many homes in the past 25 years. I have had many experiences with lenders and realtors some good and some bad. I wanted to share the experience that I had Arji, I met Arji at my son's school back a few years ago, we saw each other throughout the years and kept in touch, whenever I had any mortgage or real estate questions I would call or text Arji and he would respond immediately even though I wasn't in the market for a loan or home at the time. When the time came to buy a home and get a loan Arji was the first person I called. He got me qualified and approved within a couple of days and found me a competitive rate. The loan process was seamless. I had found a home that I was interested in and I had Arji contact the selling agent to set up an appointment to review the home that day. Arji was present in showing us the home and pointed out some great options of the home and area while also pointing out some issues with the home based on the quick visual inspection. He pulled up comps in the area and we went to work on some of the "fixes and up-dates" that the home would need and then put in an offer. Arji was present and took diligent notes during the Home Inspection with the inspector. His attention to detail and his experience in his own rental properties he quickly assessed what the fixes would and should cost and helped get us additional credit towards the purchase price. He was also present during the plumbing and drainage inspections and sent me video recordings of the pipe inspections. I don't know may Realtors that would do that. Once we closed on the home in less than 30 days, Arji helped us find tile and paint contractors to do remodeling prior to our move in. He also helped us in finding tile and baseboard vendors to help save remodeling costs. His vast experience in owning his own rental properties and lending to hundreds of folks and understanding his client's needs made this buying experience the best one I have ever had. And it's because of this experience with Arji that compelled me to write this review to praise his excellent service and professionalism and to share this experience with others that are in need of a true mortgage or realtor professional.

This review is for Chase Lytle at First Team Real Estate. I was the buyer to a home that was listed…read moreby him. For almost a month we knew when the home would close escrow and I made my plans accordingly to make it as smooth as possible, especially for me who works 40+ hours. I had ordered a POD a week before close date to load up and have it delivered. Well, a week before closing I was hit with I wouldn't be able to move in because the sellers would still be in the home. Lytle tried to say his sellers had 5 days to stay in the property but there was no paperwork. His reason was that his sellers were old and their moving truck wasn't scheduled until 3 days after closing. Then we said we would get legal involved and his answer was that by the time legal gets involved his sellers would be out of the house. Mind you I have already scheduled days off work, my wife had already scheduled days off work to move and we have a 7 year old that had to be taken out of one school district to another. Then I decided I'm fine we will give the 3 days if we can drop our POD, since it was already scheduled to be delivered to the new address. The sellers agreed to that. We sent out the form agreeing to the 3 day extension and a prorate of how much it would cost us for those three days. They never signed the form and the night before the POD was to be delivered, they said it cannot go in the driveway. Something they had agreed to verbally. So because there was no way to stop the delivery they had to store the POD at their facility. That brought me to the fact that once escrow closed, the sellers had no right to the property. Despite the fact the sellers had their property in the house and possession of the house keys still, brought me to the only recourse that I was going to park my vehicles on the driveway. That was because the only signed contract was that they had until 5pm on the day of the close of escrow to be in the home. Thankfully it never got to that point and my POD was able to get delivered and I received the prorate of my mortgage for 3days, along with the fee I was charged to store the POD at their facility. That don't excuse the fact that he was willing to break a contract because he messed up by not securing extra days his seller could be in the home. Had that been in the front end I could have planned accordingly. That was something I did upon the sale of my house and something that is easily worked around.

I would rate them for -5 stars if I could! They should change their company name to "LAST TEAM",…read morethe agent dropped my listing price by $15000 without letting me know... and during escrow I had to fill out all paperwork by myself and fax or deliver them on my own its like im selling the house by myself, and at the end of the deal buyer try to cut another $5000 for repair first team won't even step up to help with the cost, I almost drop the deal not because of the buyer but because my helpless agent! Also their escrow company is Hallmark they are rude and made many mistakes on my final check and worst of all; delay the close of escrow by 2 more weeks which means I had to pay 2 more weeks of interest... I should back out from First Team and sell my house with any other real estate company I could sell at least $20000 more plus a better service! First Team Temecula

He answers every call, every question and if he doesn't know the answer he will find out ASAP! Bought and sold a home with him in 2019 and could not be happier!! We still head from Mike often. He sends us helpful newsletters to help with keeping our home organized to whether it makes sense to refinance in this great time of low interest rates. His team also helped us to stage our home beautifully from top to bottom with all of our own furnishings and their extra accessories to make our own home look amazing and inviting for buyers. He had our house sold to the best buyer in 3 days. He found us the perfect home to upgrade to in the exact right time. We have a beautiful view, 4 bedrooms and 2 and half baths on a quiet street for the exact right price. We were able to receive every item we absolutely needed in our offer and were so happy we moved into our dream home. We got the most for the sale of our home and spent the least amount on our new home. Mike was kind, patient, level headed and super supportive each step of our transaction. Even when things got a little tricky with the timing of the close of escrow on the house we sold and the close of escrow on the move in date of the new house, Mike was able to negotiate a free rent back with the extra days we needed to finish our upgrades before we moved in. It all seem flawless on our end, but you can bet it was not easy on Mike's end. He is consummate professional each step of the way and we truly recommend him to anyone in need of a realtor! Thank you, Mike! You and your team are amazing! We are still happy in our home almost 2 years later! We love our home and our view!! Thank you, Mike!!

This year Mike and his wife were able to win us the house of our dreams (beating out other higher offers strictly due to his relationship building skills and networking in the greater San Diego area). He is Shark when it comes to negotiation and he always puts his clients well-being first and foremost. If you are looking for someone to exceed every expectation, and help you navigate a very competitive and challenging industry - look no further! Mike is the hardest working agent you will find and he is always available for his clients day or night. Lastly, Mike is not afraid of anything... whether it be a challenging scenario or a tricky escrow timeline, he is not afraid to get his hands dirty and make things happen. For example, as apart of our most recent purchase, we had to remove all contingencies and sell our old house and close escrow before we closed on the new house. Mike was extremely transparent and advised that it was possible, but a lot had to fall into place at the right time. Long story short Mike and his wife were able to stage and sell my house in less than 24 hours after listing it... and it sold for $75k above ask. If you want an agent who is no BS and will give you the best opportunity to win... Reach out to Mike asap. My wife and I could not be happier with his service and everything he has done for our family. Thank you Mike!!!

They were so helpful, patient, and even though it took 2 tries on selling our home and how stressful it was they really pulled thru and helped us a lot. The way Redfin directs you on how to present your house is so amazing. It really makes a difference and we wished we knew that with our other houses we sold. Especially buying a house and seeing other realistate companies show their houses for sale, there is a big difference. In oregon we are using Client Lewis and I can not say enough on how amazing he also is. So knowledgeable and really listened for what we are looking for and what areas! We felt bad for him because we saw soooo many houses everywhere and lost two due to my buyer for my house but finally found my dream home thanks to him!!! Over all redfin I want to thank all of you and your affiliates on this journey. In 5 days we will close on our new home and couldn't be happier.

Just terrible. My fiancé and I were using an online real estate agency for the first time to apply…read morefor a home rental. We got confirmation through redfin of an available property and secured a tour through them. There was a guy claiming to be the landlord of the property and had all the information of this property through redfin. Turns out he was not who he said he was and ribbed us of our security deposit. Through using other resources we were able to find a lease for this place was signed on 12/14/2023. On 12/21/2023 we got confirmation of availability and a tour through redfin. We counted on this company to be reliable and to monitor their listings. Turns out they don't and anyone can post listings. The person claiming to be the "landlord" walked away with $3000 of our hard earned money that was for the security deposit. We still have yet to hear back from redfin regarding this issue. We had to go through outside resources to confirm that this was a scam and filed a police report already. But that is money we are likely to never see again. The only way we figured it out was when he started asking for more money and confronted him about it he froze and we knew it was a scam. Just really hard to believe that someone can do something like this through a supposed "quality" online real estate agency. Terrible quality, terrible value. Please be sure to look into everything when you find a listing on redfin. Do not make the mistake of just trusting them like we did. Also it should be noted that when speaking with the police, there are multiple reports out regarding this property and other properties in other states that this guy has scammed people out of money using redfin. How many times does it take for you to start looking into people listing on your platform. And to top it off with no response or call back from customer service leads me to think they just don't care.
