    My wife and I have been working with Donna Castaneda for about 20 years. She was instrumental in helping us sell a Dana Point apartment building in the mid 2000’s, above market price, right before the mortgage crash. Since then she has helped us buy two off-market, very desirable, homes in Dana Point, at or below market value, that resulted in considerable gains for my wife and I. Donna’s tenacity and determination are exceptional, she definitely gives you an advantage when she is representing you as a realtor.

    Donna is Amazing!! We were looking for a home with some specific requirements at a time when the market had such a low inventory which almost seemed impossible. But Donna was on it! She went above and beyond to help us find the house that we wanted. There were definitely some frustrating moments and Donna was encouraging during those times and very creative in her searches for us. She is a very seasoned realtor and it definitely showed. She had many connections that were also able to help along the way. She definitely knows her stuff and is all about helping her clients with any resource she has at her disposal. She truly wants you to find the perfect home for YOU and she knows how to navigate through the whole process to get you into that home quickly! We are so grateful for her help!

    We met Donna at an open house and instantly connected. We could tell she was experienced and knowledgeable, what we quickly learned was that she was self driven to get the best 'for us'. Donna took the time to understand our wants and needs as well as challenge us to be open minded. she kept us on track and was always available for a question, house tour, or a supportive conversation. We met a stranger and ended up with a friend. Our experience was so positive, we highly recommend her for all your real estate needs.

    Donna Castaneda goes above and beyond! She managed my anxiety about the home buying process, which can be highly invasive, and kept her sense of humor at the same time! She spent days driving us all over Orange County until we found our home. I would definitely use her again and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a home.

    We closed (buyer) in March of 2022 and we could not be happier with the service of Jim Duenas. In this market, you need an agent who knows the area, knows the process, and understands what its going to take for you to score the home you want. I've been in the mortgage business for 18 years, and I've been in contact with hundredsd of realtors and you cannot go wrong using Jim. From the follow up to follow through Jim never dropped the ball. After sending a few offers we scored a home we are extremely happy with. Moreover you will enjoy the candor and positivity he brings to what is usually a very stressful process.

    Holly helped me buy a home in Irvine, California in a very competitive market. She guided us through the whole process and answered all my questions. She made herself available whenever I needed her. I am excited about my new home in an excellent school district for my daughter. I am happy to enjoy this new home for many years to come. I appreciate Holly with all her knowledge and experience to help me through the whole process. I recommend her to help anyone with buying or selling real estate.

    Very highly recommend Holly!! She helped me find a dream home! The most important thing abut Holly is that she treats you like you are her most important client! She cares about you like she would her own family. She always has time for your concerns, questions, and ideas. She's very dedicated, knowledgeable and professional. She is one of the best realtors I've ever worked with through almost 10 real estate dealings and always responded promptly, and gave me the attention and time you'd expect from a top notch professional. Very skilled at her job, with super people skills, so important when working with other real estate agents and all the various pieces involved. She made it as easy as could be!

    My husband and I could not have imagined an easier home buying process, thanks to Darren and Haley at the Reed Team. As first time homebuyers, the process seemed very daunting. However, Darren and Haley were there every step of the way. They truly made this the most enjoyable experience and to top it off, our first offer was accepted! That was something we never expected and now have our dream home. We would not be in this position without the guidance and support from both Darren and Haley. I’d recommend them to anyone in the market for a house. Thanks again Darren and Haley!

    During my first conversation with Jim, I knew right away that he'd be the perfect agent for me to work with as I prepared to buy my first home. His down-to-earth demeanor made him instantly relatable and not once did I ever feel like he was in it just for the sale. At the end of the day, Jim's primary focus was to make sure we could land a house that I was truly happy with, which meant a lot to me. Jim's relatability also went over quite well with listing agents as he often developed strong rapport with them very quickly. This ensured a smooth flow of communication between parties which is (as I learned) crucial for putting together an enticing offer. As we navigated this process together, Jim always made time to answer my many questions, allowing me to make better and more informed decisions throughout my search for a new home. Given that he's been on both the buying and selling side of the equation, he certainly had plenty of knowledge to share with me. Ultimately, in spite of my being picky (which was countered by Jim's outstanding patience) and an absolute feeding frenzy of a seller's market, I wound up buying a house that I'm incredibly happy with thanks to his guidance!

    Jimmy Reed and Lel Huddleston brought experience and strategy that helped me prepare and sell my Mission Viejo condo quickly and more than I thought was possible. They assisted by providing solid professionals who assisted in getting the property ready and staged. Once this was completed, they put together a fantastic marketing plan that drove many offers to review. They then used their experience and industry connections to filter down the offers to select the best one. They did all of this in incredible time while maintaining great communication that really put me at ease. What is great about the Reed team is that they have a great team to support the transaction which is done with skill, experience, excellence and integrity.

    We reviewed numerous real estate agents; in person and online. We chose Shelly based on a well put together website, her knowledge of the market and area, and her communication skills. Shelly laid out her plan while listening to our input. This plan, with her tremendous marketing skills, allowed us to get multiple offers and sold our property within 10 days. Shelly was the perfect choice for us.

    I worked with Shannon in March-April of 2014. My wife and I had sold our house as part of our separation and I was looking to rent a house in Laguna Niguel. The fact that my credit had been ruined, my work schedule was very restrictive and that I had only a few weeks before the closing of escrow (and move out date) from my former house made the situation pretty tricky. Shannon worked with me throughout the process, she found homes that met my criteria; worked with property owners to gauge and figure out how to get me into a lease and she kept me updated on a regular basis. Ultimately she got me into a great place that met my criteria. She really put in the work and got the deal closed. I honestly think that getting someone into a rental might be harder than into a home purchase. She's awesome. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! Thanks again, Shannon!
