My wife and I have successfully closed our first home with Shane from The Standfield Group, and we could not be happier with the result. We are in our early 30s and 4 years into our happy marriage. We decided that with favorable interest rate and tired of paying rent it was time to make the bold move. Neither of us are in the real estate business and had no prior experience in purchasing a property. Therefore, we needed a trustworthy agent that could guide us along the way. In the beginning of my search, I know quite a few other agents through my social network and have reached out to them for help. I almost began to think that I might have mistreated them in the past when their "help" wasn't really helpful at all. I get numerous listing update emails but none seemed useful. This went on for months and I was frustrated feeling time wasted. I met Shane through my buddies in grad school and had a quick lunch with him on a Saturday afternoon. Shane is very knowledgeable and very humble, and he patiently explained to me what to expect in the process- both the goods and the bads. I knew immediately I could trust Shane and wanted to work with him. This was in February. By early April we had secured an offer to begin the escrow, and the house closed on time in early June. As first time home buyer, I truly believe it takes a lot of experience and knowledge to be able to coordinate all parties and work things out smoothly. And I can only imagine how painful it would be if I had worked with another agent and missed the opportunity. The wife and I are very happy with our purchase. It's not our dream house in wonderland, but the more we live in it the more we realize that it is a dream house in the real world. There was a time when we doubted Shane for not helping us secure the house at our lowest (first) bid, but it is a lesson learned through experience that Shane got our every penny's worth. I would recommend Shane and the Stanfield Group to all my friends and family. read more

Lou and I are very honored to provide a testimonial regarding Kristi Kramer's excellent performance as our agent in the buying, selling of four homes. I think we were incredibly lucky to have found Kristi to be our agent. She is exceptionally knowledgeable about the real estate business and "the Market". Not only does she have a deep understanding of the desert market, but her comprehensive knowledge of the Southern California coastal communities helped guide us to our most recent purchase.  I defy anyone to say they know more than her.  She's an extremely hard worker who truly went above and beyond.  Not once, but four times on our behalf. I can't tell you how gratifying it is to know someone is virtually looking out for your interests on a 24/7 basis. We were never just another "customer" and she always goes the extra mile. I can only say, that if it were my sole decision to hire anyone to represent me in real estate transactions as either a buyer or seller, I would hire Kristi. Nobody is perfect, but she is as close as you can get in the real estate business not to mention she is an amazing human being. We are incredibly impressed by and grateful for her professionalism, kindness, advice, and work ethic. On numerous occasions we have worked together well into the wee hours of the night and she never complained or made us feel rushed.  She led us to find exactly what we needed and made it happen. Kristi is a find, and we intend to refer her to anyone who is in the market for a home because I know they too will be singing her praises. She is one of the most dedicated real estate agents who exemplifies what I would call outstanding service. There are agents and then there is Kristi." Need I say more!! read more

It is our pleasure to inform you that our recent transaction with Sandra Deskovick was a wonderful and memorable experience. Having bought and sold homes over the years, we can say that this was the best experience we have ever had in so many ways. One of the reasons we chose Sotheby's this time around, is because we noticed over the years that other companies had lost some of their professional edge. In addition, we were looking for a referral down in Florida in the Gulf area. Sandra referred us to a very professional lady who carried on the Sotheby's upper end style. We were very fortunate to have a beautiful one story corner home in a much desirable area of Huntington Beach. Sandra's marketing and personal style made it an easy sale. The challenges that developed was primarily from Our Buyers' Buyer. Unfortunately, because of delay problems with the Buyers' Buyer it was very challenging for us and Our Buyer. Since we were at the end of this transaction, closing was delayed. Fortunately for us, Sandra was on top of the situation and worked well with our Buyers agent to try to move things along. This situation shows that Sandra is so multi-talented in all aspects of the process of buying and selling. She had our needs at the top of the priority list always looking out for us in all ways. In conclusion, Sotheby's has a very valuable employee who brings professionalism to the highest level. She has proven herself to be able to navigate through the most treacherous twist and turns of a real estate transaction. We are so blessed to have had her in our corner. Thank you, Peter and Gloria Balaskas, (17322 Lido Lane, Huntington Beach, Ca. 92647) our home read more

We have been working with Dave Biehler for over a year looking for that illusive waterfront home. We did not realize at the time that Stanfield Group has the Harbour well mapped out and knows the clients very well. I was amazed at how Standfield group has an edge on other realtors because of their intimate relations with most of the home owners in the Harbour. Dave understood our waterfront home feature needs and within the budget. He is soft spoken, courteous, and knwoledgeable realestate agent, and more. He comes accross as more as a friend rather than just an agent. In our quest for that perfect home for us, we ventured into three homes in a years time with home/seller issues that all seems to be unobtainable for seller issues. We finally found that perfect house recently that had all the features we wanted and within the price range we can manage. Well, actually we had to push our budget just beyond our limits to secure the purchase. Here was the clincher, Sean and Dave both worked very hard with the seller to actually reduce their commison (I won't say how much, but it was probably the maximum allowed by their brokerage!) to make the seller net sheet meet the sellers sale target and for us to offord it. Wow, who does that! All in all, the entire experience was very satisfying and I feel very fortunate to have had Dave as my agent. We still keep in touch and will probably use hime to sell our house when that time comes. Thank you Dave Bielher and the Stanfield Group! read more

I recently used Nesip Tarcan from Sotheby's International Stanfield Real Estate to sell my parents home. Nesip did an outstanding job for us. I couldn't have been more pleased with the entire sales process. Nesip came out to the house and met with my mother and I, suggested some minor enhancements and repairs that we should perform to prepare the house for sale. This was an important part of the process and we wouldn't have received the great price on the property if I had chose not to do a little prep work. He also provided me with several contractors who could perform the work. In addition, during the first meeting he brought some comps of similar houses in the neighborhood so we could determine an appropriate selling price. Once the work was completed we listed the house and sold it in one week. We got an excellent price for the home. He also found a cash buyer for us! The house was listed, sold and closed escrow in just over 3 weeks. Unbelievable! The sales process couldn't have gone any better. Nesip was always available for any questions that I had wether it be by phone, text or email. He kept me informed of what was going on whether it be questions from the buyers or the escrow process. All the paper work was completed over email so I never had to drive around to meetings. I won't hesitate to use Nesip again and highly recommend him! read more

When my brother passed away I was charged as trustee to settle his estate, which included selling his home in Huntington Harbor - an area 50 miles away from my home base - that I knew nothing about. As trustee, due diligence was critical to satisfy the beneficiaries. To satisfy my final decision I researched the stats. As per the Wall Street Journal Sean Stanfield was the #1 agent in California and the Stanfield Team was listed as #5 in the USA - and his team is listed as #1 in Orange County. The Stanfield Team is independently owned and operated - but enjoys a connection with Sotheby's International Realty which provides a specialty marketing footprint for buyers looking for retirement or investment in beach/harbor areas.With his thorough knowledge of the market area he provided me with a clear figure as to the potential sales price of the property, which turned out to be right on the money. As a licensed Realtor for over 40 years I recognize a consummate, proactive sales professional. He takes total control, going above and beyond marketing the property with extensive advertising, attention to details, beautiful professional photos, effective showing. My brother's home was sold in a few weeks at 98% of his original appraised value. The end result - a highly satisfied seller who highly recommends a Realtor's Realtor, Sean Stanfield. read more

Bridgit Ryan is the (wo)man!! We had a tricky commercial/residential property listed with a different realtor (who was a really 'nice guy'...) last summer for about 6 months, and in that time we only ever got lowball offers or excuses as to why there was little interest in the property "it's the interest rates" ... "it's a tough market"..."financing for this type of property is difficult"...blah blah blah. SoCal real estate was/is RED HOT and we knew it...so, after flushing that other realtor, we hired Bridgit because I sensed she was a 'killer' and would do a much better job. Within a week of giving her the listing, we received MULTIPLE offers extremely close to our (aggressive) asking price and we closed within about 2 weeks. She is highly organized and seems to have a deep knowledge of the Long Beach real estate landscape. She underpromised and over delivered. When our buyer tried to play some last minute games with us over credits and other things, Bridgit stepped right in and squashed it like a steam roller. I 'pity the fool' that has to negotiate against her. Seriously, if you're looking for a sellers agent who is extremely reasonable in terms of her fee with excellent service and expediency to match, look no further than Bridgit. I'd hire her again in a second! Thank you Bridgit! -Chris & Melinda read more

This review is to sing the praises of real estate agent David Dunzer. My husband and I met David at an open house we were visiting during the beginning of our home search. We immediately felt comfortable with David's warm demeanor and extensive knowledge of the area, but we were not quite ready at the time to make any offers. We exchanged contact information with David and expressed to him what we were looking for. David kept in touch for many months to helpfully let us know of homes which came on the market and were a potential match. He maintained the perfect balance of not being pushy or aggressive and also providing useful information and insight on the options. Eventually we set our sights on a specific home, and David represented us in what turned out to be a very challenging negotiation process and escrow period due to a difficult seller. Throughout it all David maintained professionalism, composure, and perspective and was a great advocate. He made all the difference in what could have been a very stressful and negative experience. David has remained in touch long after escrow closed and continues to be helpful with local referrals and perspective. We highly recommend David Dunzer for your real estate needs. He is truly a pleasure to work with. read more

I purchased a home in Huntington Beach in June 2016 with the assistance of Dean Quinn of the Stanfield Group. Working with Dean was a wonderful experience as he was able to show us a variety of homes within our price range on a very timely schedule that was convenient for my family. At no time was there any pressure to move quickly or select a home that we were not 100% satisfied with. Throughout the process Dean made himself available day or night to answer any questions or concerns that we had and ultimately we found a home that fit our needs perfectly. Dean not only was able to help navigate us through the buying process in Huntington Beach but was able to provide some much needed assistance with the loan process and the sell of our former home. Without this guidance from Dean the process would have been much longer than anticipated and we most likely wouldn't have found our current home. If you are in the market to buy or sell I would certainly recommend Dean Quinn from the Stanfiled Group. read more

Our family has worked with Ariana on a number of transactions in the last few years and we are always completely blown away by her knowledge of the real estate industry and her endless professionalism. She seamlessly sets up home showings and is in constant communication with us throughout the selling and buying process. She goes above and beyond the role of a real estate agent while helping us to find trustworthy handymen and reputable inspectors. What really sets Ariana apart from other real estate agents is that she is always available. Whether it is a quick question over the phone or prompt email responses, she makes the hectic home buying and selling process a breeze. We would highly recommend working with Ariana, her knowledge of the coastal Orange County real estate scene is second to none. She takes the time to understand your wants and needs when it comes to selling and buying a home. When working with Ariana you are truly in the best hands possible. read more

Despite living down in San Diego County, when it was time to list our house, we chose to work with the Stanfield Group as we knew of their great reputation in Orange County and that they would get the job done. Craig Chorpenning and Melissa Maldonado are really on top of their game and made our entire sale go as smoothly as possible. The Stanfield Group always put our best interest first and ensured that we were able to not only sell our current property but that there was great communication and coordination with the purchase of our next home in a different region. We are very grateful for their hard work and professionalism. The Stanfield Group really stands out in comparison to other teams. We will continue to recommend The Stanfield Group to our friends and family for their real estate needs. If you want things done right without the stress, you choose the Stanfield Group. read more

In the 33 years that we've have been married, we've moved many times -- and, over the years, we have purchased 17 homes (and to date, sold 16 of them)! Because we've moved around the country, we have used different realtors for every purchase/sale -- which gives us a pretty good "database" for comparison purposes. My wife and I both agree that Alysa Morello is the best realtor we have worked with -- in terms of understanding what we were looking for, knowledge of the market, responsiveness, and follow-through! We had been planning to look for a house in one part of Huntington Beach, but after listening to what we were looking for in a house and neighborhood, Alysa convinced us to shift to a different part of town - that turned out to be far better suited to our needs. Without this shift, we would have missed out on the opportunity to find and purchase the perfect home for us. read more

I made the decision to sell my home in Irvine and I was looking for a good, honest realtor to help me with this process. My old agent recommended the Stanfield Group and I am absolutely thankful that he did! Shane Stanfield, Garrett Weston and Dean Quinn all helped make this sale amazingly smooth and handled everything with honesty and class. They gave me solid and wise information to go off of and even when our first buyer backed out, they kept at it, stayed positive and helped sell my home to an even more qualified buyer. I have been around real estate agents for quite some time, and Shane, Garrett and Dean are absolutely three of the most hard working, honest and most qualified agents I have ever had the honor of working with. Highly recommended and if I ever sell another home in the OC, I know who I am going to call. Thank you Shane, Garrett and Dean! read more

My husband & I decided to move from our home of 10 years in Carlsbad, CA to Huntington Beach to be closer to friends and family and Debbie Bamsey helped us find just the right place in just the right neighborhood. Even though my husband had grown up in Huntington Beach, he had not lived here in years and we were not sure which neighborhood we wanted to live in. Debbie presented a variety of great options and made herself available on days we were able to come up to look at properties. She was patient as we waded through many to find our perfect home in a neighborhood we love and worked closely with the selling agent to close the deal quickly and efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Debbie Bamsey of the Stanfield Group to anyone looking to buy or sell (or both!) homes in Orange County. read more

My sisters and I lost our Mom this past fall. As executor of her affairs, I had the task of selling her home..... her pride and joy. Dealing with the loss of Mom was difficult, but thanks to your agent, Lisa Christensen, the selling process was made a bit easier. Since I don't live in the area, communication with Lisa was so important. She kept us constantly informed of what was going on with the sale, via telephone and emails. The sale did run into some frustrating roadblocks, but Lisa, with her compassionate and professional demeanor, brought me through this very trying time. My entire family can't say enough about Lisa and how she kept us informed of every step and helped me sell Mom's home at a price that we all were comfortable with. Thank you again, Lisa for all your help and guidance. read more

After having attended a seminar put together by Mike Thornton of the Stanfield Group I went from never having owned property to owning four cash flowing properties in three years. Mike acted as both my broker and mentor instilling in me the confidence I would need to act when the right deals came along. With his sage advise he knew how to get deals done and when to push our hand, and when not to, in order to attain the best deal possible. Mike seemed to have an inside track on the best deals, which he had me move on very quickly when they showed up. When properties were not in my best interest he would say, "let's keep looking". Had I never met Mike I know I would not be in the position I am today. I will certainly be using Mike in any future transaction. Gary M read more

It is such a scary proposition selling a home, trusting another person to help get the right selling and purchase price to be enable you to afford another newer dream and to care about that dream as much as you or your family would. Well that is what Debbie Bamsey did for my family. Not only did she quickly and efficiently find buyers for our home that our neighbors would love, she knocked on the door and built a new relationship with another family willing to sell their family home to me and my family. We are now in our perfect home in our perfect neighborhood and my children are living the life I hoped for them. Debbie Bamsey helped do so much more than buy and sell homes for us; she helped us create our dream. read more

Bridget Ryan was our agent while living in Georgia and looking for our new home in California. We are not sure how we would have made it through the stresses of a cross-country purchase/sale/move without her! She found the perfect home for us went above and beyond to assist us with the challenging details of the transaction and move. If that were not enough, we shared our hopes of finding an income property and she contacted us with the perfect property and she fought for us the get the property when multiple offers threatened the deal! We continue to recommend Bridget to friends, family and associates and we would not enter into a real estate transaction without her. read more

Fabulous pretty much sums it up. Not only is Sean Stanfield the very best, but this is a TEAM that serves you. From his officer manager Phil, to his assistant Ankie to other agents in his office AND Versal (Sotheby's escrow company) all needs were met and then some. All calls were taken promptly and answers and solutions were available 24/7. Having a "team" working for you is the only way to go. Sean is creative in not only selling your home, which he did for us, but when we purchased it from him 6 years ago, he was creative then also. The contacts that the Group has far exceeds our expectations. You guys are the best!!!!! read more
