Sawsan has helped my wife and I to purchase our dream home in Corona Del Mar. She was cordial, meticulous, knowledgeable, professional, and prompt to respond! If you are seeking to purchase or sell your home in Orange County, I am confident to share that Sawsan will come through and will not disappoint you!

Tim and his crew were terrific to work with in selling our Beachfront duplex property in CdM. This former family home had never been on the market since its construction in the late 60's. Tim was very patient with us selling the home. Tim was very dialed into the ebbs and flows of the current market and almost had a 6th sense about who would be the type of most likely buyers. The group leased one of the units in this duplex while the property was listed as well. The property was beautifully staged and extensively marketed. Finally, closing the transaction was smooth as silk. I would choose Tim and his group again in a heartbeat if the need should ever arise again.

Ashley has been our agent for both property purchase and sales transactions. She is extremely knowledgeable, loyal, focused, and a fierce negotiator. She is also always available and unfailingly advocates for her client’s best interests. I would not want anyone else by our side when looking to purchase or sale another home.

Sawsan did an amazing job in helping me purchase my first home. She was super responsive and worked through all of my requests so quickly. She was able to find me the perfect first house within days of meeting, and once I put an offer in, she helped ensure I closed quickly while making sure the property was properly inspected and all repairs were made. She was so helpful and answered every question I had, and provided great recommendations on additional resources like the inspector, plumbers, etc. I highly recommend working with Sawsan if you are looking to buy a home.

Mahlia was an incredible realtor. She is highly knowledgeable, and her experience in dealing with various scenarios is unparalleled. She helped us sell our home in Laguna Niguel and supported us with a double escrow while we purchased our new house in LA. She developed a plan before listing our property, adjusted it as needed, and guided us in choosing the best listing price for our house, using real data based on comparable sales and market analysis. We received multiple competitive offers within three days and accepted our best offer in five days. We needed a long rent-back period, and she was able to negotiate this into our contract. We couldn't be happier with the outcome of this transaction, and we highly recommend her services to anybody looking to buy or sell a house. Thank you for everything you did for us, Mahlia. We truly appreciate and value your hard work and professionalism.

I’ve known Amy for about 5 years now so when I decided to sell my house in Laguna, I knew where to go. I actually had tried selling my house before using another realtor and that didn’t work so when I decided to sell it again, I interviewed Amy and it was a no brainer that her process, dedication and passion for selling my particular house was much different then who I had used before. She’s a gamer and the system that the Tim Smith Realty group uses is so much more professional then what I had before or I have ever seen, I knew I would not only get the house sold, but sold at top dollar and to a bona fide top notch buyer. What a pleasant experience it was working with Amy. She’s very crafty and this house really needed some crafty thinking and she supplied that for sure. I will miss working with her.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Mahlia on several deals now, and each experience has been exceptional. She helped us purchase our first home years ago, and we've continued to return to her time and time again because of her strong connections within the real estate community, her professionalism, and her outstanding character. Most recently, we had only the faintest background thought of buying a new home, and Mahlia worked her magic—presenting us with a pocket listing that perfectly aligned with everything we were looking for, plus more we didn’t even know we needed! She was able to leverage her market expertise to secure us a home exactly where we desired, and the timing has already proved to be right on. Mahlia’s expertise in navigating competitive markets truly made all the difference in helping us make the move. She has an incredible ability to anticipate our needs, stays responsive and timely, and provided valuable guidance and reassurance throughout the entire process. Mahlia is reliable and trustworthy, and we had complete confidence in her ability to achieve the best possible outcome for our family. There’s no one else we’d consider working with, Mahlia is the best and we're so thankful to continue to work with her!

Mahlia and her company delivered what they promised, a good value for the home. They saw and understood the uniqueness of the property and were therefore able to get a higher price than other realator thought they would get. They were always responsive to my questions and concerns. They walked me through the entire process with ease, negotiated on my behalf all in a timely fashion. I Highly recommend Malia Rittenhouse and the Tim Smith group.

Christie is an absolutely fabulous agent. She is extremely knowledgeable and will be there for you all the way. Need the roof repaired? She has someone who will do it at a reasonable price and she will schedule him and meet him there if you cannot. Same with painting, repairing, etc. etc. Her advice is first rate. She has an excellent concept of what it takes to market a home in the current market. She put the house we were selling on the market and it sold and closed in less than a month. She kept us informed and was involved, helping the whole time. We've sold many houses over the years so we recognize a real pro when we see one. She is the best.

Sawsan did outstanding jobs helping us in purchasing a Condo in Irving. Her expertise in this local area is excellent, providing tremendous amount of advices to select the houses that we are interested. She also always gave us honest opinions in order to assist us to make decisions on what we really need or like. She has the patience to answer questions and to facilitate the tough negotiations on the prices and many other closing conditions. And finally, even after the closing, she still provided any assurance we needed in order to renovate and clean up the house before moving in. She was super friendly and great agent that we highly recommend for anyone who seek to purchase properties in this area. She wants to be friend with her customers forever.

The vibrant energy and unwavering attention Julia infused into each property we explored together was truly delightful. She effortlessly recalled every nuance I would casually express—be it a preference or a dislike—ensuring it was woven into our next visit as well. Her availability to accommodate my schedule made me feel like the most cherished client in her realm. Julia’s communication be it through email, text, or face-to-face was clear. Her clarity reassured me that not only did I have her steadfast support, but a vast team stood behind her, ready to tackle any challenges that arose during this significant journey. I felt enveloped in care throughout this momentous chapter of securing a new home. In the end, she found an off-market listing that we secured below market value with even more positives than I had dreamed. DREAM MAKER!

I cannot recommend Sawsan highly enough. As someone who has worked with many real estate agents over the years, Sawsan stands out as a true professional who goes above and beyond for her clients. From the moment we started working with Sawsan, it was clear that she was a cut above the rest. Her deep knowledge of the local market, attention to detail, and tireless work ethic were immediately impressive. But what really set her apart was her genuine commitment to finding us the right home, not just any home. When we were starting to get frustrated by the lack of inventory and were tempted to settle, Sawsan persuaded us to be patient and keep looking. She knew that the perfect house for us was out there, and she was determined to find it. Through her extensive network and keen eye, she identified a listing that had just hit the market - a home that checked most of the boxes on our wishlist. Thanks to Sawsan's quick action and skilled negotiation, we were able to secure that dream home. Beyond her impressive skills, what truly distinguishes Sawsan is her character. She has assembled an incredible team of professionals to support her clients, from mortgage lenders/ brokers to contractors. And in working with Sawsan, it's clear that she commands the respect and loyalty of everyone in her orbit. This speaks volumes about the kind of person she is - someone who is not only excellent at her job, but also deeply cares about her clients and does the right thing. If you are in the market for a real estate agent, do yourself a favor and work with Sawsan. She will go to the ends of the earth to find you your perfect home, and will make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible along the way. We are forever grateful to have had her in our corner. Cheers!

We worked with Mahlia over a 5 year period and I cannot say enough good things about her expertise and professionalism. Mahlia showed us dozens of houses for both rent and purchase throughout Southern California. She was patient and kept us informed about the market. When we finally found the home for us, we closed within 30 days and she not only managed the challenges, she also assisted with inspections, contractors and financing. Simply put, Mahlia goes well beyond what it means to be a realtor and we look forward to using her services in the future.

Julia helped us sell our home and also helped us locate and lease a rental home. She is an excellent agent with outstanding knowledge of the local market and the real estate process. She was extremely responsive and actively communicated every step of the way. Julia was more than just a realtor - she genuinely supported our family's needs and us throughout the entire experience, which had its challenges given the state of the real estate market. Her calming, upbeat, empathetic demeanor was invaluable and most appreciated. We highly recommend Julia if you are looking for a true partner to help you sell your home.

Sawsan did an amazing job for us as out-of-state buyers on our recent home purchase! We started off not quite knowing which neighborhood we wanted to live, or what we wanted in a house, just a rough idea of what we'd like our budget to be. We flew in one weekend and she had arranged a tour of the town, hitting all the available listings that we'd shared with her and a few that she found on her own -- ultimately visiting north of 13-15 properties in one day! She has been patient, responsive, and very savvy for the last few months while we've been actively searching and ultimately purchasing a property. She was always reachable by phone, text, or email. As out-of-state buyers, we couldn't fly over for every house we wanted to see so she was instrumental in doing video walkthroughs for us on homes we were interested in seeing. When we were in town, she made sure we were taken care of. She did a ton of behind-the-scenes work the whole time from finding "coming to market" properties, extracting helpful information from the listing agents, negotiating w/seller's agent during the offer negotiation process, finding us a mortgage lender, insurance broker, and more. She even negotiated on our behalf w/the escrow company to help bring their fees down to market rate on her own initiative. Now as we move to the next phase of getting our home ready for our move, she's still helping with the post-closing touch-up appointments, utilities and internet setup, etc. Basically Sawsan went above and beyond and we really felt like she looked out for our interests the whole time. Moving across the country is a really big decision with an uncertain outcome but Sawsan has made what could have been a long and stressful process that much easier for us. We would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase in the Irvine, CA or Orange County area to give Sawsan a call. You'll be in good hands.

Cristi did a great job taking care of all aspects of my sale and then my new purchase. My house literally sold in 2 hours, before it was even presented on the Multiple Listings. She held my hand through the whole process and was thorough with all details. She is experienced and understanding of the clients needs. I had not sold a house in 45 years and needed much support. She drove me many miles to another city to look for new housing and when I found something I liked, that met all my requirements, she acted quickly and negotiated my offer. I highly recommend her as a true professional, a knowledgeable realtor and a very sensitive and kind person.

We had a wonderful experience working with Sawsan throughout the home buying process. From the initial showing to close, Sawsan was very involved in every aspect of our purchase. In a highly-competitive sellers' market, she made the process much easier and gave us the advice we needed to get the home we wanted for our growing family. Whether it was putting us in contact with the right vendors or actively marketing our existing home to potential renters, Sawsan went above and beyond the typical duties of a buying agent. We are so grateful for everything she has done to make this entire process so smooth and seamless for us. We honestly don't know how we would have done it without her !

Amy did a remarkable job for my family in selling a rental property in Laguna Beach. From pre-listing to closing, Amy and the Tim Smith Group provided a seamless experience. It was evident from our first meeting, that Amy had a deep and intuitive understanding of the Laguna Beach market, which netted a very favorable price for the property. I would highly recommend Amy to family and friends and will use the Tim Smith Group for future real estate needs.

I cannot begin to express how excellent my realtor, Judy Parsons, (Coldwell Bankers) was. I was selling my house and she prepared me so far ahead of time to sell my house. The end result was that I sold my house for the asking price in cash the day before it even went on the market!! She suggested I have it staged (best decision ever!) We went over any fixes, painting, etc. that should be done. I put 10 K into it. By following her recommendations, I listed and sold it for 100K more than I thought. Judy has gone above and beyond the call of any realtor. She has sent me things I left in the house. She retrieved my mail and any packages that were sent. As I am looking for a house in my new state, I have called Judy to ask her questions on some basic requests, and she provided her expert opinion. She has made the entire process of selling a home and moving simple. She provided deadlines for every step in the selling process. I was surprised at how far ahead you should be planning. If you want to fix things, clean, stage, and get excellent-quality pictures to post online, I suggest following her recommendations. She will get the most money for you when selling!! Judy Parsons was my Rockstar!!!

Sawsan did an amazing job helping me purchase my first home. She not only helped me find the perfect condo but once I was set on the place, she would quit until it was mine. She went above and beyond what I except a normal realtor would do for a client. She help negotiation with the sell so I wouldn't go over my price limit. She helped fine me insurance when the HOA insurance fell through. She helped me find a lender that would work with me because of the risk of fire danger at my condo. I was blown away by her knowledge, support, and overall attention that she showed me as a client. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy and will be using her again for my next home purchase.

Our relationship with Julia began four years ago through our daughter, who wisely kept Julia's contact information. After we sold our family home of 48 years, Julia was there to guide us, assisting us in finding rentals near our daughter's residence and ultimately our dream home in a market with low inventory. Throughout our six-month journey, Julia was a beacon of professionalism and patience. Her ability in understanding our objectives, preferences, and concerns was exceptional, keeping us informed at every juncture. Her deep knowledge of the local area comes from her generational family roots and her creative search strategies were instrumental in locating our ideal home. During negotiations, Julia's calm demeanor provided us much-needed reassurance. Her negotiation style, rapport with other agents, and experience were invaluable in successfully closing the deal. In addition to this, her keen eye for design, space planning, and her robust network of vendors ensured inspections and repairs were executed quickly and meticulously. The embodiment of professionalism, Julia's commitment to her community is as strong as her commitment to her clients. This attribute, no doubt, comes from her family's background in architecture. Julia is an outstanding choice as a real estate agent, whether you're buying or selling, and we wholeheartedly recommend her. Our gratitude to Julia is immense for helping us find a home close to our family, and she's earned a place in our lives as a lifelong friend.

We first met Julia at an open house in the neighborhood in which we wanted to buy and reside. We instantly knew that she was "our gal". Very professional, knowledgeable, personable and Gorgeous! She immediately went to work finding us a home. Soon, we were owners in the desired community. We then decided to sell a property in San Clemente.

She stayed closely connected with us throughout the transactions. Our purchase and sale were both extremely positive experiences.

Julia helped my wife and I on our first home purchase and we could not recommend her more highly. We're originally Europeans, so had some priorities that might differ from what Americans typically look for in a home. Julia was the first agent we spoke with who listened to what we were looking for, asked the right questions and reassured us we could find what we wanted in our budget, rather than trying to sell us into something different as most other agents tried. The search wasn't the easiest, the market's tough and we're picky, but Julia was so quick to jump on anything we might be interested in, and showed up at short notice whenever we needed her. The house we eventually bought Julia actually found for us, and we were the first ones through the door the very next day. Little did we know at the time, but once our offer was accepted, the work had really just begun and Julia was amazing all the way. We had multiple inspectors through the door within 48 hrs. When it turned out AC/Heating was going to need replacing, Julia had a contractor through the door with a quote within a day so that we could use the quote to renegotiate our offer with a seller credit request, and of course she secured us the full amount needed to replace. There were other hiccups along the way, and pretty much every time an issue emerged, Julia had the answer. A rare combo of someone who's super knowledgeable, very hard working, and tenacious, while still being an all-round lovely person. I imagine we'll be clients for life.

Purchased a Waterfront Home in Huntington Harbour. I was introduced to Cristi by a mutual friend, she had sold 2 properties with them. She came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Cristi began by asking questions about my criteria for a home, talked me down from a couple that strayed from my criteria and then took me to see the perfect property that she had not yet put on the market. In fact, we viewed it on the day she was doing pictures and a movie for marketing. We made an offer below the list price, and she was able to negotiate a deal that worked well for both sides. She is so knowledgeable about the area – specifically Seagate where we bought, and she continued to be a competent negotiator through the entire sale process. We love our home and would highly recommend her, her knowledge, experience and “actual caring personality”, will always lead to a successful conclusion for buying a home or selling a home – her marketing of this house was superb.

My husband and I worked closely with Julia to find a dream home for my father-in-law. We have purchased several homes and Julia is by far leaps and bounds better than any other agent we have worked with. She handled every aspect of this arduous process with grace. She never took her foot off the gas and was beyond responsive both night and day. She negotiated for us and continued to fight for us, her clients from start to finish. Julia thinks of everything, she never misses a beat and helps guide you through the entire process. She is not only the sweetest person you will ever meet she is a bull when she needs to fight for her client. She helped us find vendors to fix items on the property and even met the vendors and followed up on their work completed. Julia is unique in the fact that she grew up in laguna and is truly and area expert. So lucky to have her on our side.

Mahlia went above & beyond what was required to sell my property. She dealt with very difficult HOA in the process of achieving a sale of my condo. She had to work with many different departments of Laguna Woods HOA, who at times were not cooperative. Through her determination she was able to accomplish the final sale. I am very thankful for her experience in dealing with difficult HOA, she made sure every aspect was thoroughly investigated and the sale was finalized. A prospective client could not find a better agent to represent them.

Julia is the best! Her work ethic, attention to detail and negotiation skills are second to none. She was very attentive to our criteria when doing viewings and has great local knowledge having grown up in South Orange County. The moment we were ready to put an offer on our dream house, she started working on it even while she was away on a family holiday. She was very thoughtful as to what would make for a solid offer so that we wouldn't get rejected and to fit with our budget. Her responsiveness and professionalism throughout the process were superb - she always replied no matter how early or late in the day. She made sure every concern of ours was addressed. She followed up in a timely way on any outstanding matters from the sellers. We were so impressed with her organisational skills, punctuality and general cheerful efficiency in her work with the vendors. The whole process of buying a house for the first time felt smooth thanks to her. We felt in such safe hands and that we got everything we hoped for. We would recommend her in a heartbeat.

My home was on the market with another agent for a year at the height of real estate sales with one deal that fell out of escrow. A friend told me about Tim Smith and her experience. When I met with Tim I was impressed with the way his company addressed the market space and their unique concept of acquiring the right buyer for my home. I had certain requirements, one being I didn’t want to ‘haggle’, my price was the bottom line. Tim was OK with that and never wavered in making that happen. He was direct, told me what I needed to be aware of in going forward, which we did. It took some time but was worth the wait to accomplish a goal with a person and a team that made things happen. I think Tim is a great initiator and can pick up a fractured deal and put it back together, that’s his forte. The team that he’s put together keep the channels open and flowing to complete the projects/deals. Amy Calvert, Tim’s listing and sales partner, made all the time in the world for me in walking me through any issues, questions (no matter how small or what she may have considered trivial), never made me feel I was incompetent. She helped with not only my issues, but helped me in how to best deal with the buyers and to be able to put them at ease. With her continual “babysitting” and Tim overseeing when I had other issues to address, the sale culminated successfully to make it a win/win for everyone. I don’t think many people that can say that about their experience in buying or selling a home, saying it was a win/win for everyone. When I say “home” to most people you’re not just selling/buying a “house”, you’re selling/buying a “home”, there’s a big difference. Tim, Amy and their group see that and put heart into what you want and make it happen.

Julia is a total pro. She is very knowledgeable about the local South Orange County market, is extremely responsive, a great negotiator and very pleasant to deal with. She listened to us and understood our concerns, and helped us purchase our dream home, despite the crazy real estate market and bidding wars. I highly recommend Julia Abel Schwier and would definitely work with her again on my next home purchase.

Julia sold our home in Laguna Niguel earlier this year. We had delayed putting our home on the market until we identified a new home in Santa Barbara. Working with our SB realtor, it took us several months to find a property we fell in love with. During our search, Julia worked tirelessly with our SB agent to coordinate our objectives and qualifications. Our SB agent was extremely grateful to Julia for all of her assistance. Preparing to putting our home on the market, Julia structured a brilliant marketing and pricing strategy. It secured our privacy during the sale cycle . . . something very important to us. The same strategy positioned a sensible asking price, with potential to drive a bidding war. Julia handled every aspect of the sales and marketing process . . . from extraordinary pictures to coordinated showing. Nothing was left to chance, Julia managed everything with surgical precision. As a result of Julia's efforts, we received dozens of offers, well over asking, in the first two days on the market. Julia advised and navigated us through the offer assessment process. Escrow was underway in matter of days and closed without even a slight hitch. Now, I'd like to explain that my background includes decades of Fortune 100 "C" level management. In my career, I've never come across a more dedicated, genuine and knowledgeable professional. Julia is irreplaceable, one of a kind. Julia comes from the old school. One where building relationships is paramount. My wife and I can't say enough about Julia. She is much more then our realtor, she is a trusted friend.

I selected Julia Abel Schwier to be my Listing Agent when it came time to sell my home. After living in my home for 22 years, the market changed dramatically. Julia's knowledge of the market, current sales and buyer trends helped me to list my home for a fair but competitive price which sold in just 6 days at over-asking price. This success can be directly attributed back to Julia's knowledge of my neighborhood as well as her clear understanding of the current market. Julia was very respectful of my needs during the sale process and was always very responsive. Julia's respect for me as an individual who loved my home made the process tolerable and the business transaction seamless. She always represented my needs, and the results speak for themselves. I highly recommend Julia Abel Schier as a Listing Agent.

This is the second time I have used Mahlia in selling a house. After my first experience things went absolutely speedy and flawless so there was no question as to who I would reach out to to sell my house in California. I now live in Utah so this is not an easy task. I contacted her the first week of January 2022 and the house was sold and closed end of February. This included an entire renovation which she guided me through, connected all the vendors, setting up appointments with accessing the house and working with me on color schemes while pointing out numerous other handiwork that had to be done to prepare the house for market. All this was done in just over two weeks included entire replacement of wood flooring, painting, light fixtures, faucets, shower doors, landscape and the list goes on. She was exceedingly professional and went above and beyond all my expectations And sold 250,000 over asking to boot. I highly recommend her and her team’s professionalism and expertise in the market. -Scott
