Blake is a great agent. We were buying in a market we were not familiar with. We were dependent on Blake’s knowledge of the area to help us narrow down what we wanted. He even set up a meeting with coworkers who live in the City where we were considering putting a bid on a house. The coworkers were happy to share their experience living there and answered all our questions. This meeting was a creative idea and gave us the information we needed to confirm our decision. Blake was always responsive and available to talk to us. If he said he’d call at 7pm, he called at 7pm. We were very happy working with Blake and have recommended him to our friends.

We trusted Blake, and he went the extra mile for us! We were looking to move from SF to OC, and met Blake at a spontaneous open house. He impressed me by having a "cut sheet" of the new tax law impact on home ownership. "This guy gets the big picture!" When we returned months later, we interviewed Blake and another Realtor who was highly recommended, and chose Blake. We did not always agree. In fact, Blake advised against the home we eventually selected, in favor of one that better matched our search criteria. I respected that a lot. He was going to get paid either way, but he risked upsetting us by reminding us of our priorities. He's a pro. It took us a year to find our dream. We tortured him with endless requests to go view various homes since we were up North. After at least 100, we ended up finding a situation that met our budget and dream sheet. At no time did Blake complain, or suggest we were over working him. You are likely to spend many many hours with your agent. We truly enjoyed the experience we had with Blake, and consider him a trusted friend to this day, a year later.

My partner and I recently purchased a home in Capistrano Beach and Blake was our real estate agent. In today's world finding an agent that will give you tailored service is difficult. The birth of online real estate platforms coupled with the plethora of sophomoric agents in Orange County makes the complicated process of buying a home even more complex. Not with Blake. From the initial meeting, Blake was most concerned with what we wanted in a home. He never tried to show us a property he knew we wouldn't like because he took the time to listen and research the current market. My partner and I are not easily pleased and we have drastically different tastes and needs. Most people look at dozens of homes before they make their decision. I can count on one hand the properties I saw.= because Blake honed in on exactly what we needed. When it came to negotiating the purchase price, Blake leveraged his knowledge of the market with his professional expertise to get us a killer deal on our place. He also did a phenomenal job of keeping us realistic and excited at the same time... no easy task. When it came to Escrow, he masterfully handled everything from appraisal, inspections and negotiated proper repairs. He also took the time to walk us through each disclosure we had to sign. Also... we closed on time. Overall, clearly, I highly recommend working with Blake. He under-promised and over-delivered on every single item. If we ever move again or purchase additional property, Blake's our guy.

Five-star service and beyond: Highly Recommended. Blake was instrumental in ensuring our home purchase went smoothly even when we encountered a couple of unexpected bumps along the way. He listened to our “needs and wants” and ensured we made the best decision possible based on those parameters. He is knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and a staunch advocate for his clients. Blake goes the extra mile for his clients and patiently answers any/all questions with a smile. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him.

Blake bent over backwards to support our dream of becoming a home owner. Took our "wants and needs" and showed us great possibilities. He was everything above...plus much more. He was patient and helpful with all our calls, emails and texts---all hours of the day, any day of the week. He made things happen. Thorough and efficient. He was creative. Had a cheerful attitude and laid-back vibe! Our 30-day escrow flew by with ease. I recommend him without hesitation.

Blake made what could have been a complicated and challenging transaction fun and smooth. I was both selling my condo and buying a new step-up home and he walked me through every step of the way, presenting my options and bringing valuable perspective to my considerations. He is knowledgeable, dedicated and worked hard to present my condo in the most accurate and positive light to the world. I’m grateful for him, his guidance and a successful sale at asking!
