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!

Joey Ortega is a professional realtor. Dependable, knowledgeable, on target for all your selling or buying needs. Joey makes what could be a stressful time into a pleasant and productive time. I would highly recommend him as a realtor as he exceeded my expectations.

Joey went above and beyond, way beyond, what any realtor would have provided. Even the best. His meticulousness, attention to detail and legalities, alongside his calm demeanor truly made the potential experience of a messy situation into a pleasant one. He worked miracles I didn’t think possible and yet every time he made it happen. His honesty and straight forwardness provided me with enormous comfort during what could have been a nightmare. His communication skills are unparalleled when it comes to dealing with challenging people. In my case a family member who had a different vision. Joey skillfully navigated between the two of us with grace, diplomacy and honesty. One couldn’t ask for a better person in a business dealing with large sums of money and the emotional sentimentalism. In this day and age, genuine kindness is a gift. Pairing that with his experience and ability is priceless. If I could, I would recommend Joey over and over. Truly I am grateful for what he did. Simply put, He is the best and a rare realtor.

Joey helped me sell two homes and buy one home in the span of 10 months. With each of the 3 transactions, he worked diligently to ensure we got top profit and the best deal. He even magically shows up on moving day to help us move and pack up the filthy garage. He responds to texts within seconds (even early morning and late at night) and has perfect follow through on inquiries and questions. I was touring homes when I had a broken foot and he even helped lift me up the flight of stairs. I also appreciated that he came to my home when we had meetings rather than going to his office. I recommend Joey's services to everyone I know. His gentle spirit, sense of humor, servant's heart and expertise in the field is everything you will need in a relator.

When you try to envision the perfect home selling experience, it rarely works out that way. But our experience with Joey delivered this. His patience, guidance and knowledge painted the picture of the entire process and it happened as he laid it out. Incredible job and highly recommended.

Awesome experience. Joey found the perfect house to meet our needs. By far the best real estate agent we have ever dealt with. He is on top of everything. Can’t say enough positive things about our experience.

Joey was excellent in helping us buy our first home. He answered all of our questions and was relentless in finding us a great home and as our mortgage broker, a great loan. He has an extensive bank of knowledge that ranged from neighborhood info to construction and repair costs and everything in between. Joey responded immediately to anything we needed, and was present in person for every step of the process — from home inspection to escrow and even to double check small repairs were done correctly. A true class act and we would recommend him to everyone.

Joey listed and sold our home in Upland. Not only did we have an offer as a result of one open house, our home sold for over the asking price. This was a direct result of Joey's excellent marketing skills. He had a professional photographer take pictures of our home. Joey also kept in close contact with us during the escrow, and gave us expert advise at every step of the way. I highly recommend Joey for both the sale and purchase of your home.
