Max Carr is the reason we got our house. Period. We were first-time homebuyers, and calling Max an…read moreincredible resource would be a understatement. We refer to him as an Avenger because that is exactly what he did. He fought for us, advocated for us, and ultimately helped us secure an amazing deal on our dream first home. One of Max's greatest superpowers is his patience and his ability to educate his clients. He is very responsive, thoughtful, articulate, down-to-earth, and a natural-born leader. He took the time to break down every part of the home-buying process in a way we could actually understand, including things that many other agents would not have had the patience to explain. At every step, Max made sure we knew exactly what was happening, why it was happening, and what our options were. We never felt like we were blindly following someone else's instructions. We felt informed, confident, and empowered by the absolute wealth of knowledge he shared with us. He specializes all around Southern California, he helped us find an incredible single family home in North San Diego County. He drove down countless times to meet us, tour properties, and support us throughout the process. We looked at more than 30 homes together (!), and Max never once made us feel like we were wasting his time. He showed up with patience, professionalism, and pure class every single time. He is a class act. His knowledge also goes far beyond simply buying and selling real estate. He gave us thoughtful insights into the potential of each property, whether we were discussing interior design, construction, renovations, or long-term value. He was an asset in every possible aspect of the home-buying process. Another one of Max's superpowers is his network. He is one of the most connected people I have ever met. His connections also gave us a true white-glove experience. Max reached out to trusted appraisers, contractors, painters, floor guys, and other professionals whenever we needed guidance. We never felt like we were navigating this process alone or scrambling to figure out who to call. Max is also a titan when it comes to analytics. His ability to analyze comparable sales, evaluate the market, and use sophisticated tools to determine where we should position an offer is impressive. He made us feel extremely confident in every decision, and he was spot-on with 3 of 3 estimates he gave us. We dealt with multiple-offer situations and bidding wars in 2026. In both bidding wars we entered, Max predicted almost exactly where the final price would land from the very beginning. His level of expertise is so impressive. He also worked incredibly well with our mortgage lender, Lauro Francisco from WeLoan. Max and Lauro were our unstoppable Avengers team. We had previously lost homes in bidding wars because we were competing against cash buyers or offers above our limit, but together, they created extremely competitive terms that made our offer stand out. We closed in 14 days. People, that's unheard of! Because of the strength of the terms Max and Lauro put together, our offer was accepted at asking price. That is a testament to their expertise, communication, and ability to work together strategically to get us our dream first home. I cannot say enough good things about Max. I am an extremely picky, Type A person with high expectations, and Max did exceeded them all! He is an brilliant strategist and an all-around exceptional real estate agent. We cannot wait to work with him again, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. THANK YOU, MAX!

Alyse was absolutely everything we could have asked for in a realtor and more! We started looking…read moreto buy when the market was crazy so knew we would be up against some insane offers. Alyse went to every showing with us and would give us helpful tips and things to look for as home buyers (i.e. looking at the windows and seeing if they are older or newer will help us understand if insulation would be better or worse). We appreciated this so much as 1st time home buyers. We would book 5-6 showings a day and hit them back-to-back. After the day, we would tell Alyse which ones we liked, and she would spend the time to research comps for us. Our schedules were crazy so we usually weren't available to talk about the offers until 9 or 10pm at night, and she would always accommodate. She would spend time with us on the phone walking us through comps and strategizing our offers. But never once did we ever feel like she pressured us into going higher than what we were comfortable with, or submitting on a home we didn't love. After around 50 home tours and 11 offers later and getting beat out by buyers putting in all cash offers or going $100k over list price, we found the one! Alyse helped ensure we had a seamless 15-day escrow (I said it was a crazy market!). She answered both my husband and my questions throughout the search process, regardless of how annoying I felt or how far from "realtor" questions they felt. The listing agent loved her as well as her communication was top-notch and our offers were written so cleanly thanks to her. I cannot recommendation Alyse enough. If you want to feel like you're getting a realtor that cares about YOU as a buyer, give Alyse a shot. I cannot imagine listing or buying another house without her.

We have done two business sale escrows through New Century Escrow with Helen as our escrow agent…read moreand support by Justin Suh in her office. She actually has an entire team that helps get you through, but these are the two main people I interacted with most. Helen's entire team is profesisonal and helpful. Our first escrow as the buyer of business assets was smooth and closed promptly. The seller had their own business broker and we, as the buyer, had our own business broker. Our second sale was "for sale by owner" as the seller of business assets. We hired our business broker by the hour to prepare the contract and answer a few questions. We were mostly on our own, remembering how our first escrow went. But with Justin's care, help and guidance, we were able to close escrow smoothly. In our second escrow, without business brokers, we were in contact more regularly with Helen and Justin, who kept us and our buyers apprised of exactly what deadlines we had to meet to legally be able to close escrow on time. Our buyers were professional and cooperative. Helen also caught something vital to our transaction. We thought we had the lease document signed off by the landlord fully, but Helen caught that we needed one more signature for the buyer's assumption of the lease to be valid. We received the signed document about an hour before New Century Escrow closed on the day that our escrow closed. Helen and Justin had all of our documents ready to go on DocUSign and helped us get everything signed off quickly. On our close date, we thought all the DocUSigns were Helen, Justin, and their entire team really care about their clients. Also, Justin made sure that I knew what kind of releases were needed from CA EDD and CA CDTFA and told me exactly what I needed to do to get those releases. Within a few days after we closed escrow, we had both releases and we received the balance of our funds. If we need to use an escrow company to buy or sell business assets in the future, we will happily return to New Century Escrow. TL;dr: Worked with New Century Escrow on 2 different sales of business assets. Helen and Justin and Helen's team were professional and extremely helpful. Helen caught a missing signature in one escrow that would have made the lease assumption not valid if she hadn't caught it and helped us fix it. Justin guided us on CA state releases in order to allow all of our funds to be released to us in a timely manner. Our second escrow was "for sale by owner" and was very smooth. If we need another escrow company for business asset sales, I would use them again.

As a first time home buyer, it was very challenging to navigate the real estate market. The seller of the home chose New Century Escrow as the escrow for the contract and we could not be happier.

We had so many complications with our mortgage lending company and Justin was so helpful and was extremely communicative. He even went out of his way to come out on a weekend as our notary service and FedEx our documents overnight and even called to make sure we can close right after a 3 day weekend due to our lender's delay. He was just as friendly, professional and meticulous in person! He exudes so many amazing quality of professionalism and was so prompt and responsive. Highly recommend!
