After our younger daughter left home for college about two years ago, we started to think about moving out of Irvine to a place that meets our desire. Our criteria were difficult to meet. It needed to be at a better location ideally with a quieter neighborhood, a view, a big bright kitchen, at  least one downstairs bedroom and a decent sized backyard. In addition, we also needed to sell our existing house before buying a new house and the new house could not be more expensive than the old house in order for us to transfer the current property tax rate. It took us more than a year to survey various neighborhoods and lots of inquiries with many different real estate agents with no result. It started to sound like a mission impossible and we were about to give up the house searching, then we met Ray! I still remember that one fine morning, when my friend took me for a morning walk in La Habra Heights, we spotted a house listed by Ray and I fell in love with it after I saw the property. I took the 2nd trip with my husband and he fell in love with the house as well. After we indicated that we were interested in purchase the property, Ray was able to take in our requirements immediately and helped us to create a marketing and transaction strategy. He helped us accurately gauge the market temperature and listed our existing house on the market in a timely manner. He negotiated with the opposing agents on appropriate contingencies to protect us from unexpected fall-outs. We were able to sell our existing house in time to purchase the house of our dream within three months. During these three months so many things could go wrong any day but Ray’s team made it so smooth from staging, mortgage rate locking to escrow and to negotiating a rent-back for after we sell the existing house but before we close the new house. Ray and his team did an amazing job and delivered excellent service to us. They’ve made a mission impossible into a dream coming true! Go with Ray to get excellent service and amazing results!
