This agent has listed a property for rent in Rancho Santa Margarita. The listing has been posted…read moresince December. I have tried to contact her over 8 times and left multiple voicemails with no reply. Not one call back. I happen to be speaking to other couples interested in this property and they were told 2 weeks ago that they were no longer accepting applications and the owners are "making their decision." However during every contact with other couples she is selling them on her being their agent. The listing is still on Zillow/Redfin etc. She even told someone, who was able to get ahold of her, it is not her responsibility to remove it. It's 100% her responsibility to remove it and she has FULL power to do so as the agent.

Her experience, commitment and human qualities are exactly what any prospective buyer needs at the moment of making this important decision. We strongly recommend Walsh Realty services and we will definitely work with Mary Ann next time we need to buy or sell a house in Orange county.

I consulted David Perez, a real estate agent of Bullock Russell Real Estate Services for a home I…read morewas interested in possibly purchasing in the mountains. I had originally met Mr. Perez when he was the buyers agent for someone who invited me to view the property they were purchasing with his help. Months later I was in discussions with a different agent and broker about selling property. I had asked that agent to go with me to a property in the mountains I wanted to view. That agent committed to following up at the beginning of the new week, and e-mailed their team members, promising one of them would contact me. Unfortunately, no one associated with that agent ever followed-up and the property I was interested in became contingent and no longer available. I continued to watch the property, and about five months later the property fell out of escrow and was relisted for sale. My experience with the agent I had been in discussions with lost my trust and confidence. I didn't feel they valued me as a potential customer for a sale, and they showed I couldn't trust them for showing me property or negotiating property. Perhaps if I had asked them to sell my car, or help me buy a car, that would of been different. But when you are dealing with hundreds of thousands of dollars into the millions, i'd have to be insane to work with anyone I can't trust. I contacted David Perez of Bullock Russell Real Estate Services since I already had his phone number, he had already helped someone I know purchase a property, and he seemed very knowledgeable when I had previously met him. To my surprise David offered to show me the property, despite knowing it would require several hours of his time, and a three hour round trip drive. He also knew, it was the only property I was looking at in California. David contacted the selling agent to request a time for us to view the property, met at the property on a Saturday, walked me through all the different areas within the property and pointed out issues that concerned him about it. He estimated it may need an addition $250,000 investment to bring it up to code and to correct several concerning issues, including a notice we found on the door from the county indicating it was in violation of several codes. David recommended not purchasing the property and explained why, and that is what a buyer or seller wants and needs from a real estate agent. Someone who is honest, trustworthy and genuinely helping you evaluate a property. I found David very friendly, eager to assist, professional, and knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of my questions about the property being looked at and saved me from making a bad purchase. I didn't buy that property and decided to hold off on property hunting while I determine what state or area I want to look at going forward. I interviewed 5 or 6 different agents and brokers so far, and I found it difficult to find one who I feel I can trust. When dealing with so much money, and something so important, I want someone I'd feel comfortable leaving my wallet on the table around if I had to leave the room. I can only speak to my experience, but I feel confident all my money would still be in my wallet if I left it in the room with Mr. Perez, or when making a decision for buying real estate.

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.
