A great team, they're both very responsive and communicative and make sure to cover everything. No matter what concerns you may have, Chris as the realtor always makes sure to find the answer. Reliable and really sweet, we appreciate both of them. There was a house he had listed for a different client; when we looked at the house he was honest about all aspects of the property and didn't try to push it in any manner. We really appreciated the transparency. Highly recommend Chris and Diana Arrieta!

STAY AWAY! At the time we worked with this agency we were required to sign an exclusivity contract…read morethat obligates us to be stuck with them when looking to purchase a home and I quickly learned why. Lots of promises made that then were not followed through on and master manipulation. Another tip if you're stuck with this agency like we were, don't let them use their own hired inspector for the home you're purchasing. We ended up with an absolute money pit that every single engineer and contractor that has come out has said should have been discovered during an inspection. Hire YOUR OWN inspector that actually has your interest at heart rather than helping shady agents close a deal. Please find any other agency to work with than this one. It is one of the biggest regrets of our family's lives.

We recently had to sell our parent's house in Mission Viejo. Due to market volatility and other…read morefactors, we needed to sell quickly but also wanted to get good value from the sale. After interviewing 4 sets of Realtors, we decided to work with Dave Gubler and IML Real Estate. Dave listened to our concerns and priorities and described his approach to marketing houses. His use of "disruptive digital marketing" and what he called "the juice" seemed like the right combination. We had a short window to get the house on the market and sold and Dave worked closely with us to arrange everything so that the open house happened just 6 weeks after we first met and 1 week after we finished the estate sale. Dave did a virtual staging which made it easier for us to clear out the house. After the first open house Dave received and shared with us 8 or so offers within the next few days and within the week we had 12 offers total to pick from. Dave had priced the house appropriately, but at a price we all agreed was a solid return. Due to all of Dave's marketing we had multiple offers and actually ended up with a higher sales price than we had hoped for. Throughout the process Dave and IML Real Estate bent over backward to answer our questions, make positive suggestions and help out in every way possible. It was a pleasure working with Dave, and we really appreciated that he listened to what we wanted and didn't try to push expensive remodeling when it was clear that it didn't fit our time-line or end goals. Dave's knowledge of the market in Mission Viejo, and his disruptive digital marketing helped us get our parent's house into a successful escrow at an excellent price just 8 weeks after we first met with him. During the same period, we saw multiple houses in the area on the market for months, often selling for much less than originally posted. We had an excellent experience with Dave and highly recommend him and IML Real Estate.

Dave put my house on the market at the same price that my former real estate agent had failed to sell the house at and he got us a full-price offer in less than a week. The house closed 30 days later. Dave made the difference through savvy marketing and an in-depth understanding of how to appeal to today's buyers. I cannot recommend Dave more highly!

We spent the next day removing a 3yd dumpster worth of trash that she left between the garage and cabinets including a used razer. Not even the toilet was cleaned.... Oc residential didn't care....

Missy Wiesen found us our current home, which we love. It was our second transaction with Missy and…read moreher partner Jon Pugh. And with both moves, we could not have been happier working with them. Recently, however, it looked like we might have to move again. Being retired and at the whims of the rollercoaster stock market, we had decided the best way to preserve our nest egg was to sell and move to a less expensive home, where we could pay cash, saving the monthly mortgage. We called Missy, and immediately she was on our doorstep, with Jon on FaceTime. And to our amazement, the two of them told us there was no way they were going to help us sell our house! In looking at and reworking our budget to go forward, they explained that we had overlooked what a great investment we were -- literally -- sitting in. Missy promised to run the numbers so that we could make a more informed decision. Within two days she had sent us an extremely detailed summary of our options: If we wanted to sell, we were under-estimating our potential profit, and this was backed up by a listing of several comps along with notes on how our house compared. Then she presented other options: what a reverse mortgage could mean for us; or perhaps we should consider moving with our daughter to a house with an ADU for us. But if we decided not to sell, Missy had given us a solid, detailed rundown of how our house was expected to appreciate over the next 20 years. The options were overwhelming at first, but as we carefully went through each, working out the numbers, we came to a happy decision. They were absolutely correct. At this stage, it would not be worth putting our house on the market; the money we would make doing so, even invested wisely in the long run, could not match the appreciation we could expect from our real estate asset. So if you would like to meet a realtor who will only sell your house if it's the right thing to do...let me introduce you to Missy Wiesen @ The Pugh Group. A truly lovely, caring, really fun lady (oh, and she's also a great realtor).

We really appreciate his insight into the market and eagerness to understand our goals. He thinks about the market very rationally with a grounding in its economics, beyond just the soft side of home style, finishes, and location. Natalie Ness assisted us in finding a rental to land in while we figure out where we might want to settle longer-term. She was super prepared and found many good options to visit in our two days together. She really made the difference in our move. I wasn't getting any traction on my own but by the end of two days with her we had a lease and we are very happy with where we are living. Both Jon and Natalie are communicative and helpful without being pushy or overbearing. Kudos all around, great team.
