I am writing this review as a fellow realtor who had the opportunity to work with Helena on a recent transaction. Although the deal ultimately did not work out, I was very impressed with her professionalism, calm demeanor, and ability to keep a complex situation on track. Throughout the process, she remained steady, positive, and solution-oriented, even when emotions were running high on all sides. She also played a key role in helping de-escalate tensions and keep communication productive between all parties, which made a significant difference in navigating a challenging escrow. Helena is an outstanding agent who clearly takes great pride in representing her clients at a very high level. I am confident she will be able to get the home sold quickly to a great buyer. I genuinely enjoyed working with her and would welcome the opportunity to do so again in the future. She is a realtor I respect and admire, and someone I could see as an excellent mentor in the industry. read more

Choosing to work with the Noonan Team to purchase our "Forever Home" was the best decision we made, as we embarked on the beginnings of our Home Buying Journey in early 2021. After a great deal of research and boots on the ground due diligence, we decided to plant our roots and look for our Family Home in Laguna Niguel.  Add in, we wanted to do this during the peak time of Covid and not much coming onto the market that check-marked all of our boxes.  We had interviewed a large number of agents in the region, however we knew that in these unprecedented times it was crucial to find a team that was experienced, had deep community relationships, and that would go above and beyond to help us close on our dream home. At our first meeting with Shawn, any questions we threw at him were answered with well thought out responses. He educated us on exactly what we needed to do to prepare should our dream house come on the market. Shawn worked with us for months...showing us recommended homes, late night calls and texts, months before our dream home came on the market.  When it did, the entire Noonan Team quickly came together to get the deal done including Helena and Tim.  They helped us expertly navigate through a complex home buying process, but most importantly, we were able to leverage the NOONAN name to let the seller know that they are dealing with a reputable and trustworthy agent. I belive that was the critical factor in having the winning bid and allowing us to purchase our dream home. In the end, by having the Noonan Team represent us, we beat out 13 offers, and we couldn't have done it without this team of professionals who know the business inside and out. The Noonan Team are truly experts in their craft and we are forever grateful for their services in helping us purchase our amazing Forever Home! read more

If you are looking to sell your house or buy a new house in a fancy but easy way to call Tim and Noonan Team. They are always responsive and ahead of the game. They are a team of all professional people who walk you through this path. Buying home can be stressful but not when you have a right person to guide you and give you peace of mind. I've known Tim since 4 years ago that he helped me to buy my first home. I'm a picky person but He tried to know me and what I want and work hard to help me to get what I want. I remember he always say: We will find you a house that you love to go to at the end of each day. And he is a man of his words. That's why I always call him if I (or anyone I know)need to buy or sell properties. read more

As you may already know, buying a house is not easy. Lots of time and energy are poured into the process in hopes of an outcome that's in your favor - a place you can call home. I'm a first time home buyer and did not realize the extent and the time that goes into purchasing a house. I am very fortunate to have found Helena, Brandon, Tim, Savannah and the ENTIRE Noonan Team to help me with this exciting yet uncertain time. Working with the Noonan team you not only get an amazing agent, you get an ENTIRE TEAM, each of which has their own expertise and experience. Brandon, my agent, walked me through the entire process, from start to finish and helped me understand the process even at times when I was doubting my decision. He expertly coordinated all the home inspection, and subcontractor inspections and was my advisor when I needed support with any questions for the seller and the sellers agents. Tim, my lending officer, made the entire lending process smooth and swift! Again, because this is my first time with the process, I had PLENTY of questions and processes that I didn't understand. Tim was there to get me the best rates and paired me up with the most ideal lender within a blink of an eye. Tim is very fast and efficient. Savannah, my back end/office coordinator, got me all the disclosure documents, HOA documents, termite inspection, move-in checklist, and everything else in between with careful directions for me to follow and trust. And saving the best for last, Helena! My team leader, the glue that held the process together smoothly. If there was one way to describe working with Helena it would be - THE BEST! Helena is world class and a league of her own when it came to helping me with purchasing this home. I know this is my first home and my first time working with a real estate agent so I can't compare my experience with other agents, but one thing is for sure, I know when I'm working with a top notch, ahead of the game person and that is Helena. All the unseen work in the background, such as negotiating with the seller, was expertly accomplished by her magic and for that I am truly grateful. Thank you Thank you to the Noonan Team for such an amazing experience! You all are not only experts in your field more importantly, you are a great team and an outstanding group to work with and amazing people! read more

Brandon Castro, our agent was nothing less than amazing. He was patient with us through out the home buying experience, our first! I reached out to Brandon over two years ago, first to look at possible rentals and then we decided that buying was the better choice. To say he was patient is an understatement, he was checked in continually but was not pushy. Once we were ready he to start looking he took ever precaution necessary to show us homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Once we were ready to pull the trigger he walked us through ever steps. With the team at Noonan he was able to collaborate to get us our dream home at a lower than asking price. I would recommend Brandon and the team at Noonan to anyone looking for a great home buying experience. read more

We recently utilized the Noonan Group for a home purchase in Dana Point. Our realtor Renata Naher did an excellent job representing us as buyers in a hot sellers market. She positioned our offers expertly and we came away very satisfied with our purchase price. The Noonan team helped from showing us properties, finding the right mortgage broker Tim Serratt to having our transaction closed in 30 days! This is our second transaction utilizing the Noonan Team and we will continue to use them for our real estate transactions in the beach cities. read more

Helena Noonan and the Noonan Team are the most wonderful group of people to work with! Helena made time last-minute to show me a home that I was interested in since her agent was in another country and called me about a pocket listing. I wasn't even a client yet. Helena greeted me with such kindness and was so patient while I toured the home and took photos and spoke to the homeowner. She took so much time with me after outside answering questions and had me follow her SUV in mine while I was on the phone with her to give me a personal guided tour of Laguna Niguel. How cool is that?! She offered so many wonderful personal suggestions and about what life is like in a city she has such pride in and love for. She is an incredibly busy person running a business yet I was as important to her as one of her clients with multi-million dollar homes. She and her entire team were all so kind, professional, responsive and genuinely care about making your experience as smooth as possible. It truly is a well-oiled machine, but with compassion for the emotional side of buying/selling. Helena always checked-in with many texts and phone calls to see if I needed anything, asked how things were going to congratulating me when I finally closed on my home. She always had time to explain things in detail. She is driven to being the best, but always remembers how to treat people along the way and always with a smile in her voice. She is a rare person in a business that can be driven just by numbers and I believe she's so successful because you can tell she loves her profession and cares about everyone she is in contact with. From her team, escrow, the community and especially her clients - whom her goal, in the end, is to have them feel good about all their decisions and to be happy. Thank you Helena Noonan, Jeni Yeager and Clarissa Abadilla from the Noonan Team and to Michelle Getting and Carrie Appelt at Chartwell Escrow for such a great experience! I appreciate everything you all have done for me! More than you'll ever know! read more

Selling or buying a home can be very stressful. But not if you are working with Helena Noonan, Shawn Noonan and the whole Noonan Team. We selected them to sell our home because we were very impressed with their sales record in our neighborhood. They had all the most recent sales -- although there had been other listings with other agents. And they set record sales numbers with each listing. Yes, we loved the realtor who helped us find our home, but she knew the area where we had lived and the Noonan's know Laguna Niguel. We met with Helena Noonan and Shawn Noonan on Tuesday, May 1, unsure if we were ready to list our home. We told them we had summer plans with family coming to visit so thought we should wait to list until after they had all come and gone. The Noonans asked us what the ideal sale for us would be if we were to list immediately. We said, a great price, 30 day escrow and the ability to stay in our home -- rent free if possible -- until the end of summer. They said they could make it happen. On Wednesday, they minimally staged our home by taking out some of our bolder colors. They took pictures and made a video on Thursday, listed our home on Friday and scheduled two open houses for Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night we got our ideal offer and we started the week in escrow. We ran into some challenges during the escrow process, and the Noonan team was there to hold our hands, to smooth the way and keep the sale on track, every step of the way. And did I mention -- we got a new record price for our home! I can only imagine they would offer you the same caring and attention to detail, if you were looking to buy a home as well. So whether buying or selling, be sure to call Helena Noonan and the Noonan team first. read more

The Noonan Team is the absolute best! Shawn and Helena are absolute gems, who really know the Orange County area. They were exceptional in understanding what we wanted in a home and adjusting the homes we were shown accordingly. They helped us develop an aggressive but fair strategy, which helped us find the perfect new home. Shawn also was a good sport when faced with last minute changes and all the opinions of the various family members who came along for the house hunting ride. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Where to begin. Moving here from out of state, Shawn and Helena held our hands through the entire process of searching and making offers on homes. They assisted us in every aspect of the search and helped us become a premium buyer. When we made an offer on a home, other agents paid attention. It was because of their reputation in the community that we were able to buy a home in the craziest market in our lifetime. We are forever grateful to the team including Tim, Jen, Shawn and Helena who worked tirelessly to make it all happen. I can't say enough good things about them. read more

Helena and Shawn are miracle workers, who will work tirelessly for you and your vision. My husband and I contacted the Noonan because they were highly recommended by our son, who is a Keller Williams agent in Montana. They came out to our home and were extremely knowledgeable and professional. My husband and I were very comfortable in our current home- where we raised our children. We felt anxious and skeptical about finding the right retirement home to start a new season of life. Helena and Shawn represented us in the selling of our home, and Brandon Castro helped us find just the right home in the perfect location. Helena, Shawn and Brandon's real estate experience showed, as they were always proactive in the home buying and selling process. They were so committed, working tirelessly to ensure the smoothest experience possible. The team went above and beyond to support and guide us through the, at times disappointing and stressful, home buying and selling process. At one point, we thought we lost our dream home, since our home fell out of escrow, and were about to give up on making the transition at this time. The Noonan team made a financial sacrifice and came up with a creative and innovative way to make the selling and buying of our dream home a reality. We are so thankful and appreciative of the continual support, time and energy of the Noonan Team. Sometimes it felt that they had more faith and were more committed to our vision, than we were...This kept us motivated to continue with our mission. We are so thankful that they made our dream home possible-- They truly are a dream team! We are so grateful for our new home and couldn't have done it without them. We cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

The Noonan team did a fantastic job helping me find the perfect property. After viewing several homes we located the perfect one in Aliso Viejo. They also introduced me to Tim who helped me secure financing and walked me through the whole process. My wife and I love our new home. Great job team Noonan. read more

We have decided to list our house for sale with the Noonan Team at Compass after receiving a number of high-quality and appealing postcard-type mailings which focused specifically the properties rather than advertising their team. Helena was extremely helpful with selecting the price and other terms and the documentation work was extremely easy to accomplish. From the first day of the listing, the Noonan Team at Compass impressed me with their very well organized and tightly run operation, such as the wonderful staging of my house, the great video presentation as well as the numerous and comprehensive listings across all commercial RE sites as well as MLS. In addition, they held 6 open houses, on week days as well as weekends, in just the first 10 days of the listing. Very impressive effort! The communication with the Noonan Team at Compass was also not only informative but really pleasant indeed, all team members being not only very knowledgeable and well informed but ready to help by accomplishing whatever tasks needed to be done to help sell the house. Once we had the first offer, Helena proved to be invaluable with the negotiations of various inspections and repairs, between us and our buyer, to the point where I'm convinced that we wouldn't have closed without her help. We plan on using the services of the Noonan Team at Compass for all future real estate transactions and we recommend them wholeheartedly for their excellent services.

My company recently purchased an investment property and the Noonan Team were the listing agents representing the seller. Over the course of a few weeks I spent a decent amount of time speaking with both Helena and Shawn on the phone and was pleased with how friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful they were. Throughout the entire process I was impressed with their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure the transaction went smoothly and closed on time. I would highly recommend the Noonan Team and look forward to working with them in the future. read more

I had such a great experience selling my house with Compass. Renata and Helena and the whole team were great! Very professional, experienced and helpful throughout the whole process. I had inherited my father's home after he passed, which was quite traumatizing and they were nothing but kind, empathetic and so encouraging. I loved working with a team of strong women, that was a huge reason I went with them and it was a great decision. I was also going to be out of the country when they would be preparing and selling the house and that was no problem for them as well. They worked around my schedule, always made time for me, and were very easy to get in contact with. Renata and Helena answered all of my questions, helped me make the best decisions for me and really stood by me during this process of being a first time seller. I appreciate them taking the time to make sure I felt good about everything. The house needed some sprucing up and Compass took control of that for me as well. I used their concierge service to install new floors, fixtures, paint, and landscaping. It was so easy and I was able to make simple decisions. Everyone was so professional all the way through. I am so pleased. Everyone contracted with compass was great. From the contractor to the notary to the office personnel. Everyone I spoke to was so kind and professional. I really connected with their office manger Jeni, she was incredible! She really went above and beyond for me and I will never forget it. I am so thankful to have gotten to work with compass. I would highly recommend them to anyone I know! read more

Shawn & Helena are, hands down, the BEST realtors we have ever done business with. From our first meeting, until they sold our home in 9 days from the listing, our client experience with them was simply outstanding. Selling a family home can be an emotional and stressful experience. Helena and Shawn came along side of us and helped us navigate through the entire process. As long as we live in South Orange County, the Noonan's will be our Realtors. read more

What a great experience to use the Noonan team for my Agents. They are experienced, knowledgeable, honest, and hard-working. They are willing to go the extra mile to make sure that the whole process of selling your home goes smoothly. Their administrative staff as well as the other Agents on their team are equally professional and personable. I highly recommend them! read more

My husband and I contacted Helena Noonan because she was highly recommended by a close friend of ours who had recently sold and then bought a home both with her professional assistance, and from day one we knew we were in great hands. We shared our vision of what we were hoping to find, and Helena understood and quickly helped us zero in on properties we would consider around Dana Point, Laguna Niguel, San Juan Capistrano and beyond. Our search took several months, and many showings, but Helena and Shawn went out of their way to support and guide us. During this challenging adventure, there were times we thought we would never find our home. Naturally we met many other realtors in the process, and what we found was our increasing appreciation of the work Helena, Shawn and their team were doing for us. We trusted them because they were committed to our vision. Most importantly, Helena truly cared, and became my friend - she also had the knowledge, skills, experience and faith necessary to keep us going... Then finally our dream home appeared in an area of San Clemente we never thought we'd be so fortunate to live, and Helena and Shawn worked their magic to help make it ours. They faced challenges on the spot (home repairs needed) and helped to resolve them on our behalf while in escrow. They supported us every step of the way. They truly are a dream team! Helena and Shawn Noonan are wonderful and honorable people. They are professional, prompt, proactive, and most importantly, tireless and committed advocates. We are so grateful for our new home and couldn't have done it without them. We cannot recommend them highly enough! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Sincerely, Caron and Jeff Filhaber (cfilhaber@gmail.com) July 27, 2018 read more

The Noonan team were true partners through and through. They were with us along a difficult process, always having our best interest at heart. Solid team! Certainly look forward to working with them again. read more

The Noonan Team did an outstanding job in selling my house 12 DAYS AFTER LISTING for close to full price. Their negotiation skills, marketing acumen, patience with a stressed out seller (me) and their availability at all showings was amazing. When I had to have work done on the house and could not be there- Shawn personally took care of it by staying at the house with the workers. They made the entire process less stressful by being there each step of the way. Could not be more satisfied. read more
