Testimonials

We met Jenna at an open house on Narcissus Ave in CDM in July 2017. We had just moved back to our home in Laguna Hills after a 6-month stay on Balboa Island to remodel our home from a water slab leak. We got a great taste of the island and CDM life, and we knew at some time, we wanted to make the move back to the island or CDM. We were always walking through open houses to see what was possible for us and had an agent looking for us within our price range. When we met Jenna, my wife, and instantly connected with her. She was friendly, bright, and knowledgeable and told us we could get something done in our price range. This was a challenge, as we wanted to do the one-time property basis tax transfer from Laguna Hills to CDM, which meant we couldn’t buy a house in CDM for more than what we sold our home for in Laguna Hills. Not easy! The first step was Jenna helped convince us to list our house in Laguna Hills, which included her coming to our house to see what we were selling and to understand realistic sales price expectations. Tireless, energetic, helpful, and super responsive are words to describe Jenna. She has been so helpful with the sales process every step of the way. She has advised us countless times on sale in Laguna Hills to all steps on our Iris purchase in CDM. I couldn’t ask for more honest insight, assessment, and recommendations going forward. We haven’t bought or sold a house in 27 years and there were many times of stress and wondering if some type of deal would ever happen. Jenna was truly a resource for us as a Buyer in CDM and a Seller in Laguna Hills; she has carried her load and more. She has learned enough about us, what we like, what we don’t like, and after a while, this became easy and second nature between Jenna, me, and my wife. I consider Jenna a true professional, a friend, and someone at Sunterra you should be very proud to have on your team.

I first had the pleasure of working with Laurie when I was a first-time homebuyer. Laurie was attentive and attuned to what I wanted in a house. And within four days of our first meeting, we had a signed purchase agreement for the perfect house for me and for a purchase price below the asking price. Four and a half years later, when I considered relocating and putting my house on the market, the decision to work with Laurie again was an easy one. And once again, Laurie achieved an incredibly successful outcome for me. By her efforts, the sale of my house garnered the highest selling price of any house in the history of my gated community. It goes without saying that Laurie's knowledge, responsiveness, and savvy are top-notch. The fact that Laurie also genuinely cares about her clients is just icing on the cake. Bottom line Laurie is an agent of the highest quality. Any buyer or seller should consider themselves fortunate for any opportunity to work with her.

I had my home listed with the “neighborhood expert” for 122 days and didn’t receive any offers. I called Jenna and Laurie because they had previously sold one in the neighborhood and I knew Jenna personally. Wow! Within the first few minutes of meeting with them, I knew they were the ones who were going to get my home sold for the most money. They explained how marketing a home to sell is different than living in a home and brought a stage in who helped clutter and change the feel of the house. They were very hands-on and were over here moving and packing stuff themselves to cut down costs. Their photography and marketing secured me an offer in 8 days, and we closed three weeks later. I know that my home would still be on the market if it wasn’t for Jenna and Laurie. They have an unsurpassed work ethic, know the market extraordinarily well, and are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone selling their home.

Our experience with Laurie selling our home at One Ford Road was excellent. She took the opportunity to sell our house knowing she was challenged because it was on the market about a year earlier. That did not phase Laurie. She implemented a plan, staged the home, and very quickly had it sold. She knows the OFR community as if she lives there, her pricing accuracy was amazing, she communicated with us daily, regularly provided market data to make sound decisions and best of all she looked out for us. My wife and I have been in the real estate business for nearly 30 years and could not have been happier with the performance of Laurie selling our home. By the way, she also found us our new home. We are very thankful to have found Laurie Eastman as our representative to sell our home.

My husband and I worked with Katie to purchase our home and we cannot say enough good things about her! She is extremely knowledgeable about the market, has such a positive outlook and approachable personality, and was so helpful, making sure we thoroughly understood every form we signed and every inspection we scheduled. Katie was also very generous with her time, working overtime to answer the many questions we had over mornings, nights, and weekends. We can’t thank her enough for making the home buying process so seamless and would highly recommend working with Katie whether you are buying or selling a home.

Laurie is an absolute pleasure to work with. My husband and I worked with Laurie when we moved cross-country to Newport Beach. She helped us through the entire process of getting into our new home. Thanks to her attention to detail each step went very smoothly. Laurie anticipated our every need and worked with us on some time constraints that we had. She kept us apprised of every development along the way. Every question was quickly answered. You couldn't find a better real estate professional.
