We did not get a choice to pick an escrow company. We Expected poor service just by reading other…read morereviews but it was even worse than what we expected. Our escrow agent was very unprofessional, unfriendly, not very responsive at all. She apparently had problems with everyone including our realtor, our lender, practically everyone who's involved in the transaction. We were almost homeless because of her incompetency. They end up increasing the escrow fee, charged us for non-sense stuff like 'email' fee, etc. We just wanted to close the house ASAP, not budge about it. I would NOT recommend anyone use their service, god forbid you get the same agent we had, you'll end up with much headaches and sleepless nights.

Incredible local expertise--sold our house in days!…read more We chose Sandy and Rich Marquez to sell our home because of their impressive track record in the San Clemente area and their deep understanding of current market trends. From our first meeting, it was clear they weren't just looking for a quick listing; they provided a data-driven strategy to maximize our home's value. They brought in a professional photographer, highlighted our home's best features, and got us multiple offers in a matter of days. Both Sandy and Rich provided personal touches, such as assisting in staging idea, in person meetings to review and discuss sales strategy, and home prep for our perspective buyers home tours. We would definitely use them again if the opportunity arises. Sincerely, MIke and Kathy Nolfo

Sandy and Rich were absolutely phenomenal. From the very first call, I could tell Sandy is warm,…read moregenuine, and one smart cookie. My husband and I were lucky enough to have Sandy and Rich as dual agents in a sale, and I was so impressed by their skill, communication, and creative thinking. They advised us at every step of the way by making us feel heard, advocating ferociously for our interests, and also providing realistic and practical advice. It is so rare in the real estate industry to find agents who not only make you feel valued, but who you trust entirely based on their experience and integrity, and Sandy and Rich have that in spades. I could not imagine a more competent, warm, and trusted duo to have on your side in any home negotiation. While we were lucky enough to buy our dream home (thanks to Sandy and Rich), should we be in the market again, they'll be our first call. We can't thank them enough, and would recommend them to any and everyone, whether new or experienced homebuyers or owners.

One man's trash is another man's treasure…read more I gave my landlord a 30-day notice on 6/10/2024 and had already paid my rent through the end of June. My intention was to pay the rent due for the 9 days in July on July 1st. The week of June 23 through the 28th, Britt Fulton and Michael Miller of Luxre Realty taught me that ONE MAN'S TREASURE IS ANOTHER MAN'S TRASH. During this week, these true professionals and icons of their industry were kind enough to toss all of my stuff into closets to do a photo shoot, list the condo I lived in and start showing it without any notice. They were also kind enough to boot me out of my home 2 days before the end of the month for an open house weekend: again, with no notice. I only found out because one of my neighbors thought all the activity in my home, was out of the ordinary. Apparently, renter's rights, morals and common courtesy mean absolutely nothing to these pillars of their community when it gets in the way of their greed. These fine folk put some of my plants out on the open deck which is painted metal on a hot summer day and let my plants burn and die. One of those plants was over 20 years old which I'd grown from a cutting from one of my mom's plants. These titans of their trade piled my stuff into closets, even tossing stuff on top of my other plants. They also scratched a 28-inch 4K Samsung monitor that I needed for work. I was never able to find my Vitamix blender. It was on the kitchen counter when last I saw it and I miss my smoothies... Luckily, I'd already taken most of my "treasures" to my new apartment a few days before. I just wish I'd taken all of my plants with me. I had about 20 plants, one of which was over 40 years old and belonged to my mom. That one is struggling to survive as it got burned pretty bad in the heat. Here are some pictures; please let me know if you think I'm overreacting, because I'm also considering filing a complaint with the National and California Associations of Realtors. I'm a Certified General Appraiser with over 38 years experience and have NEVER seen a realtor treat another person's personal belongings in such a manner. I have never treated another person's personal belongings in such a manner, neither in my professional life nor my personal life.

Working with Sara Farsani was an outstanding experience from start to finish. In an extremely…read morecompetitive market with limited inventory, she found a home that checked all my must-haves, a challenge that made an already difficult search even more restrictive. We knew we would be competing with cash buyers and desirable properties were selling almost immediately. Despite these challenges, our very first offer was accepted because she knew exactly how to position it as a strong, competitive offer from the beginning. Her strategy helped us beat out the competition and secure the home I wanted. She is an exceptional negotiator and has assembled a fantastic team of professionals, including most importantly, her Transaction Coordinator, Sarah Schultz, who kept the transaction moving smoothly every step of the way. What I appreciate the most was her ability to break down the entire process into understandable terms, enabling me to make informed decisions with confidence. If you're looking for a realtor who will advocate for you, navigate a challenging market, and help you achieve your goals, I highly recommend Sara Farsani!!

After my father passed away I decided to sell the house and only thought of one person to call...Jill McGovern, the realtor who helped my dad buy the house 13 years ago. She came by the house to get an idea of it's value and then taking into account the current state of the housing market she thought we could get a lot more than I ever imagined. Even more than Zillow thought it was worth! The neighbors thought we were crazy, but wished us good luck as they would benefit from increased comps themselves. We signed the paperwork and she got right to work. There would have to be some improvements before listing. Painting, new carpets, deep cleaning, etc.... I was relieved when she said she was trying to keep the work to only what was absolutely necessary to keep my expenses down. The great thing is that Jill has a huge network of people to get the work done. She's got a painter. She knows a great carpet guy (Sal, who was awesome and got me a GREAT deal!). She's got a cleaner she likes. All these people have worked with her for years and not only did they do a great job, they didn't break the bank. The house never looked better! Jill took a lot pictures and listed the house. We immediately got a couple offers and she was able to figure out who serious and who was REALLY serious. Now it was time for the negotiating and this was where Jill really shined, demonstrating years of experience. She was able to navigate the counteroffers and list of repairs and ultimately saved me thousands of dollars. The biggest and most important aspect was that Jill was always in control of the situation and I never for a minute felt out of the loop. If I didn't understand something (which was a lot!) she took the time to explain it to me. Also, we definitely functioned as a team. When there was a decision to be made she consulted with me and we talked about the best course of action. If you're reading this then you're obviously looking for a realtor and you can look no more. Jill McGovern is your woman!

There were many issues she had to navigate with our sale, divorcing couple, buyer's market, house was located on a very busy street, and some very difficult buyers.

From recommending a stager, fantastic photos that drew hundreds of potential buyers, to open houses every weekend, countless conference calls between my ex and myself, she handled it all with the professionalism that you hope your realtor would have. If you are looking for a first-class realtor who knows the Mission Viejo market, we highly recommend Pam Fecher. Fred

These are just a few of many oversights during the transaction. Unfortunately I do not recommend her to any future sellers.
