House hunting and buying during the pandemic...

House hunting and buying during the pandemic was scary enough, but then house prices jumped and we felt extremely discouraged. After renting for more than 5 years, we needed help and someone who would make our dreams of owning a home come true. After searching through the different realtors, we contacted Joey Ortega. Upon our first meeting with Joey we learned he had an extensive knowledge of Southern California homes and costs per county. When we started our search, Joey was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we understood the housing climate, the cost of buying a home, and had a firm understanding of all that happens in order to purchase a home. If we wanted to view an open house, Joey made that possible to fit our schedule. We informed Joey of our goals, wishes, and dreams for our new home, and Joey guided us each step of the way, making sure to help us balance our wishes and goals. If we were thinking of making an offer on a home, Joey was there to help us see the cost, weight our pro and cons, and steer us to our ultimate goal. When we finally found our home, Joey's negotiating skills attention to detail, and instant feedback to our questions and concerns made our home buying process amazing! Joey was with us every step of the way: from helping us with our search, to guiding us through each open house, to being available when we had a question or concern, to making sure all conditions were right for us to purchase our forever home. If you want to purchase a new home and you want someone on your side to work with you, Joey Ortega is the realtor you need!
