Working with Susy Smith and Laine Warthan throughout our four-month journey of selling our condo…read moreand buying our forever home was an incredible experience. From start to finish, they were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely had our best interests at heart. They always took the time to listen to our concerns, answered our questions quickly, and made sure we felt informed every step of the way. Whenever we needed guidance, they offered thoughtful strategies without ever making us feel pressured. They were also incredibly understanding and respectful of what we wanted and how we wanted to approach each decision. Buying and selling at the same time is stressful, but Susy and Laine made the entire process feel so much more manageable. Their professionalism, dedication, and hard work truly went above and beyond, and we couldn't be more grateful for everything they did for us. If you're looking for real estate agents who are knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and genuinely care about their clients, we wholeheartedly recommend Susy Smith and Laine Warthan. We are so thankful we chose them and couldn't imagine going through this process with anyone else!

To say our new house was a challenge to get is an understatement - we had it, we lost it because of some legal stuff (not the realtors fault) that put it in the hands of the court for months, and then when the time was right... we jumped back in and got the house we always wanted. Throughout it all Nat was always trying to come up with innovative and clever ways to get buyers for the old house and prepare our offer to be the best for the new one. Nat's not just great at what he does... he outthinks and outsmarts the market. Highly recommend. Also, he has a very fun battery operated cart. Seriously, you cannot go wrong with this man OR Splash Realty. I need more stars than Five.

From photography to social media, finding a buyer to closing escrow, we were impressed in how polished the process was. This allowed us to meet our goals in a timely manner without feeling rushed or stressed. Splash realty served as the gatekeeper in helping us move forward with the next chapter of our lives.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Tyler for the past 10 years. Recently, when my wife and I decided…read moreto move back to Southern California, I knew Tyler was the right person to help us find our new home. What I didn't know was that Tyler would deliver above and beyond my [already high] expectations. Tyler's professionalism, astute market intelligence, and white-glove client service were second to none. In today's market, buyers need to move quickly, efficiently, and without error to secure a premium property. Tyler's methodical and differentiating home buying process accounted for all of this. His communications and materials were always on-point and proactive. Tyler ensured that everything about our experience was properly planned, facilitated, and executed. The result of Tyler's hard work was two-fold; not only did we secure a home in Newport Beach upon making our very first offer, but also closed escrow successfully in under 30 days (and we weren't the "all cash buyers" you hear about amongst the crowd - we came in with less than 20% down and financed with a big bank). Tyler, and his top-notch team at Compass, played a critical role in our success and I couldn't imagine buying another home in the future without his partnership. Thank you again!

If you're looking for someone to just stab a "For Sale" sign into the ground and sit on your couch…read moreon the weekends, you'll probably do fine hiring any real estate agent that sends you a free oven mitt. But if you want someone who can get you the best price for your place, handle all the mucky-muck of buying and selling, and still manage to meet you at a property at 8 AM in the morning (because that is absolutely the only time you have available), you better call Lorette. Real estate isn't just a weekend hobby for her. It's her life. It all starts with a visit to your home. There, she'll asses the value of your place, suggest some inexpensive updates, and even offer some staging ideas. Depending on the state of your home (ours was looking pretty dated), your property could be ready for listing in as early as a week. Or in our case, as late as a month. As you might assume, it's a lot easier to sell a home when no one is living in it. Unfortunately, we didn't have that option, so Lorette had to work around our busy schedules. That meant hiding all of our personal belongings at a moment's notice (for those sudden showing requests), and actually making our bed every day, like civilised people. All the while, we were in the process of figuring out where we wanted to buy our next home. That meant having Lorette arrange for showings of multiple properties in a lot of different areas, including Lakewood, Downey, Cypress, Artesia and various areas of Long Beach (which is not a small town). Making things even more difficult was the fact that any offer we made on a new home had to be contingent on the sale of our current home. That meant virtually signing a lot of offers and counter offers (through DocuSign), and arranging for multiple inspections on both our home and the ones we made offers on. In other words, it wasn't easy for any of us--but Lorette made it a whole lot easier. Through her professionalism, care and insight, we not only ended up getting a great offer on our condo, we got a fair price on a house in Anaheim that truly feels like home. In L.A. and Orange County, they say real estate agents are a dime a dozen. But Lorette, she's one in a million.

Lorette exceeded our high hopes and expectations. For all the little things that will pop up during the buying process, Lorette was literally one step ahead and kept the process moving so we and the transaction didn't miss a beat. Lorette has a great list of professionals that we were able to use to assess the house, and fix all the little things that require attention once we bought the house. We recommend Lorette unconditionally. We look forward to working with her again. Pete and Emma Connoy Seal Beach, CA

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!

We have been burned by real estate agents in the past and she helped reassure us. We had to fly back to the east coast and she handled all of the post work (sorry again about the bricks!). She got us a great deal, handled everything we needed with us being across the country. We would work with her if we ever find ourselves in Long Beach again. Thank you to Oriana and Ronnie for everything!

It was a bit overwhelming for me, which is why the trust attorney referred me to Oriana to help me.

The escrow companies she recommended were also great to work with and made everything move along. We sold all the properties for top dollar within 3 months! The best part about this experience is my new found friendship with Oriana. As far as I'm concerned, Oriana Shea is the best Realtor I've ever done business with! I highly recommend her to anyone that asks especially if you need to sell property in a trust.

I wish I could give Beatrix and the Whipple Group 10 out of 5 stars. The entire team is…read moreexceptionally professional and deeply knowledgeable about the real estate market. Beatrix, in particular, was a lifesaver as we navigated the transition from our condo to our first home after our son was born. She helped us find the perfect house within the exact timeframe we needed, meeting every requirement we asked for. She then guided us through an extremely challenging condo market and ensured we were still able to maintain our home equity despite difficult selling conditions. Most importantly, throughout the entire process, Beatrix was a dedicated support and confidant. She made what could have been an overwhelming and stressful experience so much more manageable. We always felt truly heard, supported, and informed. She never missed a response, no matter the time, and was always available, even on nights and weekends. When I say she works overtime, it is truly an understatement. The videos Beatrix provided and her weekly market updates were incredibly helpful. She took the time to explain market trends and compare our property to others so we could make confident, well-informed decisions while both buying and selling. Beatrix will forever be our realtor, and we will absolutely continue to rely on her expertise through every future real estate transition. We recommend her wholeheartedly to friends and family for her professionalism, dedication, and genuine character. If you are looking for a realtor who will truly treat you like family, Beatrix and the Whipple Group are it. We can't imagine navigating the past year of buying our new home and selling our beloved condo with anyone else.

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.
