I don’t even know where to start. Justin guided me through this process with equal parts expertise and tenacity. I started my home buying inquiry over a year and a half ago and throughout that time period, Justin did absolutely everything in his power to guide me. He answered every single one of my questions in detail and with patience until he was sure that I had a complete understanding. He helped me think through the pros and cons of every scenario in every home we considered. He took my calls late, always responded quickly, and always made sure to deliver the most thorough responses to every single one of my questions. As a first-time home owner and a sole owner, he made a process that would have been very overwhelming to do alone, seamless with his help. I will never work with another realtor. If you’re looking for someone to assist you with purchasing a home, I can’t recommend him enough. Reach out to him! He is literally the best.

Constant contact and professionalism beyond her years. I am thankful for all of Rachael's continued efforts with Placid Harbor. She was in constant contact and exhibited a professionalism beyond her years. I truly appreciated all of her post deal follow-up.

Our realtor, Justin, was absolutely fantastic in every way.
As first-time homebuyers, he made us feel comfortable in unfamiliar situations and never made us feel like a burden, despite our frequent questions. He was always upfront with us and very clearly had our best interests at heart at all times.
Despite a shortage of available houses, Justin was always optimistic and assured us he would find us the perfect home. And, within a couple of short weeks, he was right. His expertise was invaluable, and we would not have succeeded without him. We would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a home.

When I went to sell my home, in hopes of purchasing a new home, I reached out to local real estate agent Sarah Huerta. She sold my home in a short time frame. In a years time she remained extremely patient with me. Her knowledge and know how lead me and my family to our dream home. She was prompt and professional and always quick to answer any questions that would arise. She has a true passion for the real estate business and I would highly recommend her.

I will first say that if I could give Justin more than 5 stars, I would. As first time homebuyers, we were entering into very unfamiliar territory. Justin was very personable, knowledgeable, and patient. After showing us over a dozen houses, I had fears that like most people, he may start getting frustrated with our inability to make a decision. Not once did Justin ever make us feel pressured to move forward with a decision. He was very transparent with his thoughts on the properties we saw and how fairly the market was pricing it. When we finally found a place we loved, Justin made the closing process smooth and much less stressful than I anticipated. He set contingencies and incentives to make our offer both competitive and secure for ourselves. Once our offer was accepted, Justin helped to coordinate a loan officer and inspector for the house. Even after closing, Justin has been an active presence in our lives. Now, over a year later, we are refinancing our mortgage, and Justin is putting together documents of our original appraisal and comps in the area to get us appraised high. Overall, I could not recommend Justin more, and I know we will not use anyone else for our next home purchase.

My wife and I were completely new to the North County area when we met Craig Fearey. Talk about a life changing event! Coming off an absolutely horrendous experience with our prior realtor, we were skeptical. But true to his word, Craig refused to show us any house that did not meet 100% of our expectations. Barely a month after our first meeting, we were sitting in our dream house!
In my 25 years of professional experience, I have never worked with someone as hard-working, dedicated, and client-service oriented, as Craig. His commitment stretches well beyond executing transactions. Craig does right by his clients…all of his clients! He does whatever it takes to meet his clients’ needs, even if it means making frantic phone calls in busy airports or working well into the night while vacationing with his family, half a world away.
Craig is honest, ethical, and someone with whom I would trust with my kids, if I had them. One would be hard-pressed to find real estate professionals that are more qualified, competent, professional, highly-skilled, resourceful, down-to-earth, and just darn easy to work with than Craig. It was an honor to be his client, and I very much look forward to him helping us find our next dream home!

WOW! Dawna Thibodeau and Harcourts Prime Properties just sold my house for $700,000 OVER the asking price!! It was sold as is. How often does that happen? I don’t think I need to say anymore in order to recommend Dawna, but I will. No one can argue with results like this. Dawna gave me the full benefit of her 36 years of experience. She always immediately knew exactly what to do and when to do it.
Dawna was always very patient and never put any pressure on me to hurry or to do anything that I was unwilling to do. She always listened to what I had to say and was very easy to talk to and always explained herself clearly and completely. I was very confident that she always had my best interests at heart. Her advice was invaluable throughout the entire selling process from the time that the Lord put it into my heart to sell until the close of escrow and beyond. Without any reservation I totally recommend Dawna Thibodeau if you are selling your hom

I am a Real Estate Broker and an Attorney. I have worked in various aspects of the Real Estate business for over 50 years. Needless to say, I can appreciate Terrific Real Estate people when I work with them. Dianna is one of the exceptional handful of people that you have the good fortune of working with, once in a lifetime. We met her at an open house and she took our information and requirements. She kept us in mind, and when she heard a property was going to be placed on the market, she contacted us. It was just what we wanted; and, we started to negotiate to buy it before it was listed. In spite of Dianna’s efforts, the seller elected to list it. But Dianna persevered and she carefully guided us through the process, and through her efforts, the seller accepted our offer. BUT, that is where Dianna’s efforts on our behalf really began. She got us the best inspection team we could ask for and they identified items that needed to be dealt with. Even though we were in a tight seller’s market she negotiated concessions on our behalf that were fair and did not upset the seller. After we closed, Dianna referred us to some really amazing contractors/repair people who did exceptional work in converting the property into what we had envisioned. She was patient, kind, and professional all the way. We consider her one of our new friends. She is, without doubt, a true professional, who loves her work and her clients. Nuff said!!!!!!

I was so grateful to be introduced to Kara by my Aunt Bette, who enjoyed a very successful career in real estate, and chose Kara to partner with, as she was nearing retirement. That was the highest recommendation for a real estate professional anyone could've given me. Since that time, Kara has represented my wife and I on a number of transactions. We have purchased, sold and leased property with one thing in common, Kara was on our team. She has rolled up her sleeves and worked long hours to clean, perform preliminary inspections, stage and have properties professionally photographed prior to listing for lease or sale. Her network of industry professionals to assist her in promoting properties are amazing. Even in the challenging times we faced this past year, the professional photography and virtual videos she organized, made the properties safely accessible to potential tenants and buyers.
Have you ever heard the expression, "if you want to get something done, give it to a busy person"? Kara is that person! She works tirelessly and diligently for her clients' best interests. She is also a tremendous resource! When we were recently presented with an opportunity to purchase a vacation rental, we immediately called Kara, who promptly ran the comps for the property we wanted to purchase as well as those properties which needed to be sold to make the deal happen. We decided that using Harcourts Live Auction was a unique method to drive traffic to the homes which needed to be sold, and we received multiple "auction ending" offers! We even set a new sales record in the Faire Harbour community! Which by the way, was "fair" as it is an amazing property! With her guidance and support, our dream property is now ours' to use, rent and share with family and friends.
Even after the transactions were completed, Kara remains a huge advocate and resource. In fact, I think iPhone needs a "Kara" app, where we can each benefit from her wealth of information, right at our fingertip

In buying a house, the key is getting a good Realtor and Rafael is the best person for the job. He is very reliable, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable of the industry. He will help you from start through finish — no pressure. We liked working with him because he did not only help us purchase our dream home while working within our budget, he also taught us lot in the process. He gave us access to his trade tools which made it easier for us in searching for the home we liked. I highly recommend Rafael.

Michael Manfredi (Harcourts) recently assisted us selling our home in Olivenhain, California. I just wish to convey the successful result was mostly due to his impeccable professionalism, wide-spectrum knowledge of not only the real estate market, but his expertise with mortgag loans and contract negotiations. Mike went way above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we received the best price and terms suited for our situation. I trusted him completely and give him the highest recommendation. If you want the "Best of the Best" choose Michael Manfredi!

Peyvand was really kind and patient with us when she was helping us to find our new home. She is so knowledgable and definitely not pushy at all as a realtor. We really appreciate all her effort and help and for sure recommend her if you are looking for a nice and different realtor.

Peyvand was wonderful from the start to the end. She took her time to know what I was looking for in a house and get to know my style and wants. She took everything into consideration about my must haves and circumstances. She was a pleasure to deal with. Not only she is knowledgable and skilled at her job but her personality and care is what stands out about her. She treats you like family and thinks about everything. I highly recommend Peyvand.

SHE WAS REFERRED TO US BY OUR FRIENDS.
We spent a lot of time looking online for a home before we met Danielle. She was referred to us by our friends. We already knew what a wonderful job she had done helping them. We were surprised how quickly our purchase went. The market in Orange County is fast paced and intense. We were very thankful to have Danielle help us negotiate and prepare us for every step.”
