    "Singing Her Praises!"

    From my personal experience with Lauren Purdy of @Vantage Real Estate: Lauren did an outstanding job investigating and assisting with the marketing of our home. She was very professional and courteous. This continued through all phases, from the open house (where the home was sold on the first day)through closing. She tackled challenges to keep the sale proceeding forward. I have, and will continue, to recommend her to anyone who will listen.

    "Amazing Agent!"

    Russell is extremely professional, knowledgeable and honest. He always acts in the clients best interest. His advice is solid and not bias. I have used him in multiple transactions for over 15 years. Would use him again without hesitation.

    "Exceptional!"

    Exceptional is only one of the words I would use to describe my experience with Russell Taylor and the sale of the house. Others would be outstanding, extraordinary, phenomenal, professional, remarkable, superior service. As an agent he has an amazing knowledge of real estate. He is a great communicator,explains thing in common man terms, sets things in motion quickly, answers questions, guides you through the entire process. Working with Russell allowed me to be at peace. He KNOWS this real estate business. He gives you sound advice. I listened to the wisdom he shared with me. Together we got things done. During all that paperwork ( and my word…there is paperwork)…Russ was there to assist with any question. This was my third experience working with Russell Taylor. Obviously one does not return to an agent unless you are happy with his work. He handled the selling of two house properties and the purchase of a house property for me. Russell Taylor is the gold standard in my book. Highest recommendation!

    "Above and beyaond..."

    I bought in Modjeska Canyon and the house had some code issues with the county. Without the hard work of Russell, there's no way I'd have been able to buy this property and bring it up to code. Just a few months later, I'm all up to code and I couldn't be happier.Russell helped the sellers navigate through all the problems in selling a property like this. He went above and beyond what is expected from a real estate agent. I was scared to buy this property due to the issues, but the information I was given from Russell were spot on, and I was actually able to get the house up to code for a bit less than he'd estimated. Russell is a stand up human, and a terrific Realtor. If you are looking or selling in his area, you will be glad you chose him.

    "Lauren was the best choice..."

    I needed to sell my home fast, and relocate due to a new job. Lauren was the best choice I could have ever made. She was positive, flexible and went above and beyond all expectations. Her knowledge and skills helped set our home apart in a competitive environment. Our house was surrounded by homes for sale,but she still marketed our home perfectly to be the next one sold. The photos were stunning, I almost didn’t want to sell it after seeing them. She staged the house so beautifully, and held an open house each weekend it was on the market. Our house sold in 19 days for the perfect cash price. The transition was smooth because Lauren handled so much behind the scenes. She even worked through the summer holidays to get it done. Lauren also helped us as we navigated traveling back and forth from our new city and fed our cat. She was supportive, patient, and accommodating to all requests. Without a doubt I would recommend Lauren to anyone in the Palm Springs Valley looking to sell their home. You’re in the best hands!

    "Five Stars!"

    Very happy that Joanna Armstrong was my Realtor. I didn't live in the area I was buying in and many times she would go and look at properties for me. It took a few months but I finally found one I was excited to buy! The HOA was a bit difficult but Joanna helped me keep my sanity during the process.I can't say how impressed I am with Joanna's knowledge and most of all her warm and caring demeanor through this home purchase.

    "5 Stars on All Three Transactions!"

    Joanna did a fantastic job in representing Ted and I in all three deals where we needed a Realtor. We found Joanna during the pandemic when we were in the situation of needing to move. She helped us secure a home for our family during a very difficult time.Joanna guided us and helped us navigate the rental market at a time when it was out of control. When I was in a position to sell my property in the summer of 2022, we called Joanna. This was not an easy job due to the fact that LA County still had the rent moratorium in place. She worked endlessly to make this as smooth as possible for everyone. She was very professional every step of the way. When we finished he sale of that property we discussed with her our plans for purchasing our forever home in the next few months and she was on board. Joanna listened to what we wanted and what we need for our family. When the time was right, she started sending us the listings for properties that matched our wish list. We looked at many homes with her and spent time talking about the pros and cons of each home. We made offers on several properties and she advised us on pricing, locations, etc. Our home closed at the end of October and we moved in the middle of December. We couldn't be happier with the house, the community, and with Joanna as our realtor. She made all of the transactions run smoothly and had things all lined up and ready to go. Joanna did a wonderful job and we could not be happier with how it all played out.

    "Highly Recommended"

    Joanna walked us through every step of selling our home. She was available when we had questions and a wealth of information during the whole process. She made sure the i's were dotted, the t's were crossed, and our place looked perfect for the open house.I can't recommend her highly enough if you want a smooth process and someone checking on all the little things.

    "100% Professional"

    When deciding who to handle our recent home sale in Rancho Santa Margarita we turned to Patty Mendoza at @Vantage Real Estate. Patty actually lives in our neighborhood, and has handled other sales there with great reviews. From the very beginning Patty was on top of all aspects of getting house prepped for sale,including the proper staging, pictures, and getting the property up on the multiple listing services. Once the house was on the market Patty stayed on top of setting up the open house and gathering up offers with a breakdown of the pluses and minuses of each offer. She deftly guided us through the process and helped us pick the best overall offer for our situation. I have been in the sales field my entire career, and own a small business. I am very particular on how the sales process should be handled and I must say Patty checked every box, every time. If you are looking for a 100 percent professional to handle your sale, look no further than here.

    "We would definitely recommend Lauren!"

    It was a pleasure working with Lauren Purdy in the sale of our house. Her expert staging and the excellent photographer she employed showed our house to great advantage with an excellent offer coming only a week and a half after it was put up for sale.Lauren’s attention to detail and suggestions for professional workers helping with minor repairs helped streamline the process. We would definitely recommend Lauren for anyone interested in selling their house in a timely manner.

    "Caring and Incredibly Dedicated"

    I wanted to send you a message to let you know how impressed we are with Joanna. We were referred to her by a friend of mine after my parents passed. Upon meeting Joanna for the first time, we knew she was the one who could guide us along through the process of emptying my parents home, completing renovations,staging and selling the home that held many wonderful memories for me. Joanna was always there for any questions we had. She was always quick to respond and absolutely went above and beyond for us and for this sale. We are happy to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home, and look forward to working with her again in the future. She is amazing at her job and shows such incredible dedication!

Valerie was always ahead of what was needed so we were able to provide the necessary items in a timely but not rushed timeframe.Valerie truly made the whole process of selling our home of 26 years more relaxed and enjoyable. We would recommend Valerie to anyone who is looking to sell or buy their home!

    Friends of ours sold their home through Lauren and highly recommended her. We decided to hire her to sell our home, and we are so glad we did! She advised us on the selling process, formulated a marketing plan that included Open Houses, newsletters that featured our home, coordination of showings,advice on staging, and fantastic pictures! Can’t say enough good things about her service!

    After meeting numerous Realtors in Orange County, I knew Joanna was the one I wanted to help me find a home in California. From the onset she was incredibly intuitive to my wants and needs. She made the process of purchasing a property from another state hassle free,and handled so many of the details without me having to constantly return to California. It’s rare to find someone with the knowledge, honesty, detail, integrity and work ethic that Joanna has. She worked over 9 months to find just the right property. If you are in need of a Realtor anywhere in Orange County, I highly recommend using Joanna!

    "Joanna is a Superstar! "

    We were anxious about our first home purchase but Joanna made it smooth and hassle free by guiding us all the way through. She took time to understand our needs and presented several listing options that suited our requirements. Additionally, she was the first to point out if a listing was not somethingwe should pursue - demonstrating that she is looking after our needs and not just getting a sale closed. Joanna was respectful of your time, communicated very well, and always available if we have any questions or concerns. Overall, we are very pleased and appreciative of Joanna and will surely recommend her to others.

    "We lucked out with Joanna!"

    Joanna has been great to work with. She is very responsive, supportive through the stresses of the OC housing market, and works quickly with all parties involved in closing on a home. We feel we lucked out in having her to help guide us through the process as a first time buyer.

    "Hardest Working Realtor"

    This was not our first home, but the real estate market has changed dramatically since we purchased our first home over 6 years ago. The process of finding a home with little-to-know inventory in our price range was stressful. But Valerie worked tirelessly for us to make sure we landed in the right home.She truly cares about our family and we are so very happy with the end result.

    "Joanna was amazing..."

    She worked closely with us at every stage of the process and was very accessible whenever we had questions. She staged our house beautifully for the showings and open house - we had three offers over asking price after the first open house. We accepted one and closed shortly thereafter.Joanna made everything so easy and as painless as possible. I highly recommend her to anyone selling their home.

    "Patty Mendoza was the best!"

    Patty is the best real estate agent we have used in our 50+ years. She is so focused, thorough, responsive and effective that we used her twice in a row. She helped us identify what to do to prepare the houses for sale and she was able to arrange contractors for any job we could not do ourselves.She is a master at managing difficult transitions (parents into senior living, divorce sale), ensuring every party is informed and comfortable. She was able to stage and price our homes effectively so we received offers over our asking price within the first few days of listing. When one of our buyers pulled out due to the rising interest rates last year, Patty never missed a beat and got us another solid offer within a short period of time. Patty is both realistic and optimistic and I learned over time that I could completely trust her input. She consistently identified and corrected items in the offers or other documentation that the other agents missed. Several other real estate agents we used before knowing Patty were somewhat effective, but they always made us feel they were doing just enough to get a deal done - emphasis on “a” deal as opposed to “the best" deal. Patty goes above and beyond. She made everything easy, while at the same time we felt completely and honestly informed every step of the way. We ended both of our sales knowing we were well taken care of and we plan to use her again for any of our future needs We highly recommend Patty for any of your real estate needs.
