Gabriel Medrano | Realtor
Paul Kott Realtors has been an active, successful and positive influence in the city of Anaheim, as well as all of orange county and beyond, for over 40 years.
I asked Gabriel to list my property for sale. He gave me his expert opinion on the current market conditions which helped me choose a price I believed was reasonable. He also showed me just how and why he would market the property. I had every confidence he would follow through. He exhibited the honesty, knowledge and ambition I believe makes a great Realtor.
In just 12 days we had over 10 offers. Gabriel organized the offers and gave the pros and cons of each on individual seller's net sheets. This process was daunting yet Gabriel calmly helped me navigate my way through until I chose the offer best for me.
There were many contracts to sign and Gabriel answered all my questions without hesitation. He kept the line of communication open and provided me with updates in a timely manner.
He was always a text/phone call away and he was also very patient with me.
I highly recommend listing your home for sale or buying your new home with Gabriel.
Sincerely,

To Whom it May Concern,
It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation letter for Jackie Garibay of Paul Kott Realtors, Inc. My wife Kim and I met Jackie five years ago when we were looking for a home to rent for our Son who was a CSUF senior and a member of the baseball team. He was looking for a place to rent with three of his teammates, and we could not find a place that would rent to our college kids. We found Jackie and after seeing a few houses she was able to get the boys into a home that was awfully close to the college. Since then, she has kept in constant contact with us and when it came time for our son to buy his first home, she was the first and only person we called to help. The market was tough, inventory was limited, and we were getting out-bid on all our offers. Luckily, Jackie found us a great home in the Westmont neighborhood of Anaheim, and we were sold!
We have purchased many houses and commercial properties over the years and can say, without hesitation, Jackie is the best agent that we have ever dealt with. Her attention to detail, passion, and knowledge are second to none.
Very Truly yours,
Patrick Gibbs
Jackie Garibay | Realtor
Where do we start...
Jackie was recommended to us by a good friend in 2015. Our family was growing and we were looking for an upgrade; looking for our forever home. Janet had purchased the home we were living in 8 years earlier with the help of her parents. There was a lot of sentimental value in our home. The whole process of selling this home was an emotional and stressful roller coaster due to the attachment. After we sold our home we were faced with obstacles that put buying our forever home on hold. We rented for 3 years and during this time she helped keep us in check and making sure that we didn’t lose sight of the our end goal. After what seemed an eternity and in the middle of a pandemic it was our time! We had given Jackie our wish list from the minimum to maximum of what we wanted in a home. Jackie went above and beyond to ensure we didn’t settle, she said time and time again “you waited this long you are not buying that!” She just knew when we got antsy, settling or inpatient. We appreciate her sooo much for taking our wish list serious and not letting us give up. That is what got us our forever home! We feel so blessed to say that she got us in a home that exceeded the maximum of our checklist. We are still in aww that we have a house with so much space, in OC, walking distance from a mall and Knott’s Berry Farm and it has a pool!
Jackie is the most thoughtful, caring, kind, loving, PATIENT person and we are very lucky to have found her. Every text, every call, every question and even every rant she was there to answer. But what made this experience better is that she listened and through it all she became a friend.
We absolutely 110% recommend Jackie and Paul Kott Realtor!
Thank you sooo much Jackie!

Just when I was about to give up on my house search, Kevin called me and told me he has listings that I can qualify for. The process was honestly the FASTEST process I have come across. Kevin is super professional, kind and genuine, couldn't have asked for a better Realtor. We closed the deal within ONE DAY! Definitely recommend him and his company! Most reliable, communicative and honest guy ever. I promise, you won't regret it!

After the passing of our mother, we decided to sell our “beloved” family home. Jackie Garibay made the entire transaction painless and pleasant, while always being thoughtful of our feelings.
With kindness and compassion, she helped us to sell quickly and efficiently. She was always attentive, knowledgeable, patient and professional. We are so thankful to her for guiding us through the process and doing a fantastic job.
Additionally, Jackie came highly recommended from a friend of ours who needed to sell their house in the same neighborhood. Their house was listed and sold in less than two days.
After our family house went into escrow, we recommended Jackie to the neighbor next door, and their house also sold in a short period of time.
We recommend Jackie Garibay 110%.
Sincerely,
The Morales Children

This letter will serve as my high letter of recommendation for real estate agent Jackie Garibay. She assisted my family and I with the purchase of our first home in Placentia, California in June 2020. I have worked with many real estate agents and brokers over the years and can say with confidence that Jackie is the best agent I have ever had.
My family and I would like to extend our utmost gratitude and appreciation to Jackie Garibay for finding our perfect home. As a first-time home buyer, I had researched the housing market and was nervous and had lots of questions and doubts how we were going to find that perfect house in a great location, within our budget. I knew it was a huge task on the realtor’s shoulder as well as ours. We knew it was going to take a long time to find the home we want, but Jackie assured my family that it was going to be fine and she will be there every step of the way until we find that home. She answered all our questions, concerns and never pushed us into anything that we were not prepared to do. She promptly responded to my texts, emails and went out of her way to find out the information we were looking for, like the neighborhood school standards for my nieces and nephew.
We knew we were in good hands. We could not believe in less than three months we have settled in well in our beautiful home. My family and I are very grateful to Jackie for making this happen. When Jackie met our family for the first time, we noticed she diligently took notes of our family’s specific needs. She also scheduled the showing to fit around my brothers’ and my work schedule.
She was on time for all the showings, from the time we made an offer to the end of completion date and beyond. I was particularly impressed that she took a keen interest to fulfill our mom’s wish to have a big backyard for her gardening. Jackie is everything that one could look for in a realtor. She is professional, knowledgeable, honest, patient, very helpful and is determined to find the best home for her client. We were very comfortable working with her. She was always well prepared and planned ahead to give us enough information about the properties scheduled for showings and even gave us print outs for our property search file. She is very friendly, respectful, and always gave her honest opinion, which we really appreciated. You could tell she loves her job and has a passion for what she does.
Furthermore, she continued to impress me when she stood by me throughout the escrow process and beyond. She also helped us find contractors for our renovation. She amazed me when she handed a “homeowner’s portfolio” binder that helped me to keep my property records and documents organized. I really did not have to open a separate folder for this purpose. This is the first time I have had a real estate agent go that extra mile to keep the client happy.
Jackie was not just another realtor, who helped only in the purchase of our property, but she would periodically check on us to see how we are settling in and would ask if there is anything else she can help us with. My family and I feel fortunate to have found her. We would absolutely recommend Jackie Garibay without hesitation to anyone needing representation for buying or selling a home. If you have any questions, I would be happy to email or talk with prospective clients to provide feedback on our very positive experience.
Sincerely,
Sharmila Jabbar & Family

Jackie,
After settling into our beautiful new home, Terry and I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team for the excellent service you provided. You handled the sale of our home in Huntington Beach and brought us multiple offers over asking price. You also represented us on the purchase of our new home in Villa Park. The entire transaction closed in less than 30 days. Amazing accomplishment. GREAT JOB MY FRIEND!
I would highly recommend Jackie Garibay to anyone who is considering buying/selling a home. She kept in constant communication during the entire process and didn’t stop after the two properties closed on the same day. We interviewed several agents prior to our decision on whom to go with and could not have made a better decisions.
You managed a highly stressful transaction with multiple curveballs on the buying end like the professional that you are and I’m 100% convinced we would not be in this home today without you.
Going into this endeavor Terry and I were worried that our relocation would be a horrible experience and were reluctant participants. We are happy to say we needlessly worried about our move and now enjoy the added bonus of having made a new friend for life.
Thank you, Jackie, for being amazing,
Jim & Terry
Debbie Esquivel | Broker Associate
I would like to thank you for the wonderful experience we had working with your agency. This was my daughter’s first purchase and she could not have been in better hands.
I met Debbie Esquivel and Cecilia Aguilar at an event in downtown Anaheim. They were very friendly, knowledgeable, and super easy to talk to. I was looking for a condominium. My daughter does not drive so I explained all of my concerns bus, work, grocery store, etc. They understood and right away had some ideas that would work for her. Unfortunately, at the time, my daughter was locked into a lease that she could not get out of and we had to wait. Debbie made a point of checking in with us every month to see how things were going, never once got pushy, she truly cared and wanted to help us.
Fast forward to August of this year and we were finally able to start looking and close a deal. My daughter was so excited and extremely nerves all at the same time. Debbie and Cecilia were so patient with her. They walked her through every step, explained the process thoroughly, and even went out of their way to pick her up and take her to property inspections and contract signings. They even checked in with her several weeks after closing to see how the move went and see if she was settling in okay and needed anything.
I was so impressed with how organized these women were with the paper work, inspection, phone calls, etc. There was not a day that went by that we did not hear from them. Even if there was no news, they still called or text and checked in. Debbie even took the time to educate my daughter on real estate and the value of being a homeowner of multiple properties. My daughter is now working on a five-year plan to make her next purchase.
Thank you again for this amazing opportunity to work with your staff. It was an absolute joy and I would highly recommend Debbie, Cecilia and your office to any future home buyers. We also look forward to working with Debbie and Cecilia again. Although next time I think, my daughter will be looking for something with multiple units. She is thinking on a much bigger scale now, thanks to Debbie.
Sincerely,

Jackie Garibay | Realtor
It is our immense pleasure to recommend Jackie Garibay as a real estate agent and Paul Kott Realtors for any individual or family searching for the ideal home. As newlyweds, we were ready to move from a 500 sq. ft. apartment and find a place we could call our home. Individually, and as a couple, we dreamed of home ownership and found Jackie to be a phenomenal realtor as first-time home buyers.
We met Jackie at a first-time home buying seminar geared towards Disneyland Resort Cast Members in October 2018. We took diligent notes and were able to relate to her presentation. Between Jackie and Julie Miller from Broadview Mortgage, they thoroughly and thoughtfully covered everything a first-time home buyer would want to know. Not only did we receive a wealth of information, but they were very friendly and answered all our questions.
We took our time after meeting to officially start the process. Life got in the way, and Jackie had tremendous patience with us. We started our official home search in May 2019. Each weekend, and some weeknights, were filled with online searches and open houses. We were very picky about where we wanted to live, as most homebuyers are. If we found a home we liked, she went out of our way to ensure we saw it. Before walking into each home, Jackie provided printed out information about the home so we could review at all the specs.
She did not waste our time with homes that were out of our price range or not in line with our needs. We found Jackie to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers. Although we knew that was not the case. She returned all phone calls, text, and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She was also highly personable with an engaging personality. Jackie was honest about our negotiations we took with the sellers.
Partnering close with our lender, she made sure our best foot was put forward when offers were presented. If counteroffers were returned, she was clear and concise with negotiations on our behalf. When our offer was accepted, she was exceptionally detailed with explaining the mountains of paperwork which is the escrow process. There was nothing that escaped Jackie’s attention in the course of purchasing the property.
We are pleased to recommend Jackie Garibay to anyone looking to buy a home. She is hands down the best in the business. If we ever need to move again, she will be our first choice in real estate agents. If you would like to discuss our experience in more detail, please feel free to contact either one of us by email at ryanandshay87@gmail.com.
Sincerely,
Ryan and Shay Spagg

Jackie Garibay | Realtor
Oblivious about the world of real estate, it can be very intimidating for first time home buyers, and that was us! We started our home buying process just by going to open houses, had the opportunity to meet with a lot of real estate agents during these open houses, and that’s actually how we met Jackie. Jackie was very welcoming, very hospitable, and was easy to talk to. Most of the agents that we have met were just focused on selling us the house that they currently have listed. Could be because we looked like we did not know what we were doing, but regardless, Jackie took the time to get to know us – where we were on the home buying process, and what we were looking for. She walked us through the process, from the beginning to the end. She kept us at ease through the entire process by keeping us updated everyday. She was a text away. She was very patient with us, and she got our questions answered in great detail. Without her help, we wouldn’t have found our now lovely property. She started out as our agent, and now she’s a friend.

Our testimonial is simple.
We met Jackie Garibay at an open house in Anaheim in Fall 2018. Although we had a few recommendations from friends, we had not yet decided on an agent and there was something about the way that she approached our situation that immediately felt like the right fit for us. She was personable, knowledgeable and provided appropriate counsel when we asked for her opinion. She set us up on the MLS and was always eager to schedule in person viewings of listings. While visiting homes, Jackie would fade away into the background and let the home speak for itself. She never interjected her personal feelings about any homes and let us explore the space as a couple with total respect to our relationship. We don't imagine that all agents walk the thin line of professionalism and affability as well as she does.
As we went through the home buying process, Jackie was there every step of the way to ensure that we felt comfortable and that we understood exactly what was happening. She is very up to date with realty practices and was able to direct us to reliable resources for inspections and financial advice. Most importantly, she never made us feel poorly for being less knowledgeable on any given subject or needing additional clarification. We felt like we had a trusted friend guiding us through the process. And now we are neighbors too!
We know that we had many options for choosing a Realtor or simply going online and going it alone. However, we chose Jackie. For all the reasons listed above and more, we wholeheartedly recommend her as a Realtor in Anaheim and the surrounding areas.
Sincerely,
Daniel Meza & Caitlyn Fry
Debbie Esquivel | Broker Associate
On behalf of my family, a very special shout out to the most awesome, amazing, energetic Debbie. The best, most excellent real estate agent that I have even known.
About six months ago, my family listed our home with another agent. Shortly afterward, I saw Debbie selling a condo on Olive near Lincoln. I observed her amazing interpersonal skills as she was standing out front of the property talking with about half a dozen people. Her energy and zeal was obvious, and all the beautiful signs caused me to declare, "This is an amazing real estate agent!"
I wrote her a note and delivered it to your office saying, "I wish we would've hired you!" She called me, and we had an opportunity to talk for a while. Now, I'm living my dream!
I must tell you that one agent make a difference and Debbie truly is that person! There are not enough words in the dictionary to describe Debbie and the gratitude that is shared by myself along with my family.
Our home sold shortly after we enlisted Debbie. Debbie demonstrates so many AMAZING UNIQUE QUALITIES. Her embracing personality, interpersonal charm, extreme description of the property in depth, service to the community, all the colorful signs, the multitude of advertising, inviting agents, the way she sets up her displays, reaching out to everybody, the adorable art, the quality shoe covers and the many unique details galore make her extraordinary.
In addition, I had already moved out of state after the loss of my spouse. Debbie has helped us with packing, shipping and organizing, donating items and providing her special wisdom to remove our overflowing contents.
My neighbors in the Avelina Community are very impressed with how quickly our house sold and many said "That was fast!"
I will always exclaim that Debbie is the most excellent Anaheim real estate agent!
With much gratitude and joy,
Evelyn Righettini

I recently bought my first condo with the help of Jackie Garibay from Paul Kott Realtors. I must say, she was truly amazing throughout the whole process! There is a lot of information to know when you are a first time home buyer but Jackie was able to make the process as smooth as possible for me. A few years ago, she helped my parents buy a home and because of their great experience with Jackie, they recommended her to be my realtor too. She guided me in the right direction and at the same time, did not force any decisions on me. Even after escrow closed, Jackie made herself available to any questions I had. Jackie is someone who I trust for the job and I would recommend her to any of my family or friends who are looking to buy property.
Sincerely,
Jozette Murillo

We used Joel to sell our condo and purchase our new home. Right from the start he was very helpful and made us feel like we were his only clients.
Our condo was sold within 72 hours of listing with multiple offers on the table and we were able to get one of the highest prices in the area.
The home we purchased is in a very desirable neighborhood that he recommended and we love the place. It has everything we asked for and wanted. The sellers agent of the home was not the most pleasant to work with, but Joel worked very hard for us to make the process as easy as possible.
We recommend him to our friends and would recommend him to anyone that is serious about buying or selling a home.

Debbie Esquivel | Broker Associate
My wife and I would like to express what a successful agent like Debbie Esquivel has meant to us. She literally took the bull by the horns and marketed our home within three weeks she got our home sold!
Debbie had beautiful color photos of our home printed on flyers and on 8x11" post cards that were distributed throughout the neighborhood. Our home was listed in the newspaper as well.
Debbie held open house for three consecutive weeks, both on Saturdays and Sundays. She placed 20-30 open house signs with numerous flags throughout the city; thereby catching everyone's attention. Debbie was a breath of fresh air with her wonderful personality showing our home to potential buyers. She answered all their questions, while at the same time making the buyers feel at ease as she showed them our home. The open houses were successful, producing several leads.
Debbie was confident and worked tirelessly to get our home sold. No matter what the question was that we had for her, she would respond to us via phone or text immediately. This put us at ease during the entire process of selling our home. From listing with Debbie Esquivel and Paul Kott Realtors to the open and completion of escrow, Debbie was there for us. She had the experience and determination to get the job done!
What a pleasure it has been to have Debbie as our listing agent. Debbie Esquivel is a professional agent second to none.
Sincerely,
Mark and Nancy Livingston

19 years ago we were given your name…and my husband and I found a wonderful home. We were impressed with your expertise of the real estate process, your integrity and your willingness to give us your time, concern and friendship. This year, it became important to consider downsizing and I knew that you would be the only Realtor I would want to guide me through the process. Thank you Steve for taking me through the process of buying and selling two properties so carefully and thoroughly with such great result. I value your professional help and friendship!

Attending the Disney First-Time Homebuyer seminar was the best decision we ever made. Jackie Garibay, Paul Kott Realtors and the Julie Miller Team made buying our first, fun and easy. We cannot thank Jackie enough for helping us find our new home.
When we decided to buy our first home, we started out by blindly looking up home listings and attending open houses. Our experience was like a series of bad dates. The realtors we encountered were all interested in selling us a home but were not interested in taking the time to get to know us to find out what we wanted or what was best for our situation. My wife is a Disney cast member and noticed an ad in the Disney newsletter. We decided to attend the first-time homebuyer seminar. The seminar prepared us for what it would really take to buy a home and what to expect along the way.
A few days after the seminar, Realtor Jackie Garibay followed up with us to find out about what we were looking for in a home. She took the time to listen to what we wanted and also what we did not want. Within 3 days she compiled a series of listings and we were off exploring houses. She was very intuitive to our reactions and could tell what we liked and did not like. When one series of listings was not exactly what we wanted, she would come back with new listings. If there was a property we found, she would find a way to get us a showing the next day. Each time we got together, we got to know each other and truly bonded. House hunting was not a relentless chore, it was a fun outing with a new friend. Jackie helped us search relentlessly until we found the home that was just right for us.
When we started house hunting, we thought we had an unrealistic goal of owing a home within 2 months. With a child on the way we were racing against time to find a place to bring him home to. Not only were we able to find our dream house, but Jackie and The Julie Miller Team were able to close escrow in less than 30 days. Which was a good because our little bundle of joy decided to join us the same day we got the keys to our house!
Jackie Garibay is more than our realtor, she is our friend. Even after we bought our home, Jackie still keeps in touch to see how we are doing and get updates about our new son. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, I will tell you the same thing I tell my friends and family, “Call Jackie Garibay, she will go above and beyond to put you into your dream home.”
Sincerely,
Marcos & Erika Nevarez

Many, many thanks for all the help and personal concern you provided my Mom during the time her home was on the real estate market. Your personal cooperation and understanding, regarding my Mother’s age and safety needs, gave me a sense of security. Your willingness to respect our request demonstrates exactly why I would recommend your services to anyone wishing to place their home on the real estate market. And, Steve, as always, you were right there to offer your help. Again, thanks for everything and feel free to stay in touch with Mom and me.

We were fortunate to have Debbie for our Realtor because she had a hear of gold and truly cares about your needs and desires in purchasing a home. Debbie went above and beyond what a person would normally expect from their Realtor. She was always a step ahead through the purchasing process and always kept us in the loop. Additionally, Debbie was incredibly patient with us, seeing that four people all have different definitions of what "home" was and what it needed. She encouraged us not to rush into a home that didn't meet the list of things that we were after. Debbie is not just our Realtor, but she's also family. Without her help, we wouldn't have our dream home. She was our Realtor guardian angel and we cannot express the quality of person that Debbie Esquivel is. She is through and through and we don't have anyone else to recommend but her.
Love,

Jayshree and I have been looking for an investment property for over three years. With supply of single family homes in Anaheim being limited, locating a viable investment property was proving difficult. The high demand for a single-family home was driving the prices through the roof, hence the time was of the essence.
I met Jackie over a year ago during my quest for an investment property. Jackie came across enthusiastic, cheerful and sincere to my requirements for the investment property.
Due to sellers’ market, good homes were being sold within few days. Mindful of our investment criteria, Jackie promptly went to work and cheerfully chauffeured us to the prospective properties. Jackie provided us with all the necessary facts to help us make informed decision without undue pressure.
Jackie did not lose her passion and dedication in our long search for the property. Through our search Jackie was punctual, organized, professional and was well informed. When required, Jackie referred reputable vendors and stood by our side during entire buying process.
In conclusion, working with Jackie was a very pleasant experience, that bore the hallmark of working with a friend who has the good intentions and best wishes at her heart.

I had recently retired as a Rear Admiral from the Navy’s Judge Advocate General’s Corp and had moved to San Diego from Washington D.C. to take a position with the state attorney general’s office. I have sold many houses and dealt with many real estate professionals over the years. This is the only letter of recommendation I have ever written for a Realtor. Steve Rosco was exactly the right Realtor I needed. His advice and marketing techniques were on target. I could go on–but suffice it to say it was a genuine pleasure to work with Steve Rosco. He is one of the good guys. I depended on him–and he came through for me like gangbusters. I’m sure you will have the same experience that I did!

We would like to take a moment to recognize our amazing real estate agent, Jackie Garibay. As first-time homebuyers, we had all of the anxieties that come with the territory and not knowing all of the nuances in the process, Jackie had put us at ease since the beginning.
We met Jackie after attending a First-Time Homebuyers workshop that was catered to Disneyland Cast Members. After meeting her we immediately received a positive vibe and were looking forward to working with her. When we look back on the entire process, we cannot believe how smooth everything went. In talking with others who have gone through the home buying experience, most felt it was overwhelming and came with a lot of stress. With Jackie, we felt comfortable the entire time and she was right there for us with all of our questions and concerns. She was our voice. And she represented us wonderfully between all parties. I do not know how she does it, but she was always available and responsive to our questions whether by phone, email, or text. Those “unknowns” that we had were quickly answered and Jackie kept us in the loop each step of the way.
We have talked about wanting to buy something else just so we could work with Jackie again. And we would highly and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell their homes. Especially fellow first-time homebuyers. Jackie is honest, hard-working, extremely knowledgeable, and one of the friendliest people we have had the pleasure to meet. She represents Paul Kott Realtors with the highest integrity and we are so fortunate to have her as our real estate agent.

Joel was a referral through a co-worker on a random day in the break room. As a first time home buyer I really didn’t know where to look, so I asked around at work. Boy was I glad that co-worker referred me to Joel! He reached out promptly after given my contact info and got the ball running so quickly, but in such a nice and genuine manner. I didn’t feel like I was being baited or convinced to choose him as my agent. He was open and honest about the whole process, which was very confusing at first as a first time home buyer. I can’t stress enough how easy going and great of a person he is, so naturally, I chose him to help me. Even with my small budget to find a condo, he never made me feel less important. He worked just as hard to find me my perfect home as anyone else. He is also very educational in every step, finding a lender, going through escrow, the whole thing, I learned sooooo much! Anything I didn’t understand, Joel took the time to explain it to me. Joel is very professional, but also warm and friendly, like an old friend. The condo I wanted had 4 other offers and Joel fought for me to get my place and we did! As I’m sitting here writing this review in my dream condo, I highly recommend Joel if you’re looking to purchase. He’s extremely knowledgeable and you won’t regret it. The whole process happened so organically and I couldn’t be happier with the place I found and it’s all because of Joel!

From the very beginning your warmth and expertise were apparent and made us confident that we would find a house. Your guidance through the home buying process was absolutely excellent! We want to thank you for all you have done to make the buying of our new home an exciting adventure! Not only would we highly recommend you to friends and family, but we also count you as a friend.

Bill and I have lived and worked in Anaheim for the last six years in the Center Street Promenade area. Our condo was suddenly is escrow and we needed a new place to live.
Debbie Esquivel had been sending me listings of potential homes to lease for the past six months, and I had been monitoring the market. Now, with 30 days to find a new place and get moved, Debbie refined our search parameters and the hunt was on! We quickly found houses to tour, and she immediately got us in to see the properties. The leasing market is very tight, and there were applications on every new home listed within hours of them hitting the MLS. It was overwhelming and daunting but Debbie made it so easy! We got the applications and CAR forms completed and she submitted applications for prospective homes before we saw them in person.
We found a house that we really fell in love with, and Debbie guided us to write a letter to the owner, include photographs and then she did her magic! She immediately established a great working rapport with the agent and followed up with her via text and phone to ensure that she had received our applications and supplemental letters. She really "Sold Us" to the owner's realtor - and that helped us to beat out eight other applicants and one offer to purchase the house!
We are moving into our new house as of February 1st and we also have the option to purchase the house. This is all because of Debbie! She is professional, has amazing attention to detail, follows up and is one the hardest workers that we have ever met!
As soon as we are settled, we are going to start looking into purchasing the house from the Owner and we know that with Debbie's extensive knowledge, experience and tenacity, we will end up owning this home - or another one that is just as fabulous.
We want to thank you for the amazing service that your company provides and for having Debbie on your team.
Best Regards,
Tamara Scott
Jackie Garibay | Realtor
I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the excellent service, professional candor, commitment, and persistence of our realtor, Jackie Garibay, during our recent home purchase in May of 2017. As fastidious clients in a difficult market, I can say with confidence that she rose above and beyond the challenges presented to her to ensure that our family was able to purchase a safe, comfortable home in an excellent neighborhood within our budget constraints.
Jackie is a thorough, diligent representative who carefully guided us through every step of the complicated process and offers on multiple pieces of property. As this was our second home purchase, we had certain expectations about the process and market. Jackie exceeded every one of them, and found a way to navigate us through everything with poise and determination.
Once offers were presented, she skillfully weaved together the disparate, complicated elements of our team and the sellers to ensure deadlines and conditions were met ahead of schedule and that the purchase was never in jeopardy. She was physically present for all inspections and repairs, and had a great rapport with our financing team. She made the most stressful elements of the negotiation carefree.
I would highly recommend her to anybody, particularly close family and friends, because we believe that she can be trusted emphatically with one of the most significant business transactions a family can make.
When we are ready to buy, sell, rent, or just feel out the market again, we know directly where to go. Thanks again, Jackie!

Joel is without a doubt the most efficient and enjoyable Realtor to work with in Orange County. His knowledge of the OC market and connections had my property sold and escrow closed within 3 weeks. His transparency in the process and negotiating tactics are second to none. I’d highly recommend reaching out to Joel and his team if you are looking for the best experience in selling or buying a home, he won’t let you down.

Jackie Garibay | Realtor
The Padilla family would like to take a minute to thank you and your team, but most of all Jackie, for one of the best experiences we could have asked for. We met Jackie almost a year ago at a listing in the Westmont area of Anaheim, she was personable and outgoing which is one of the reasons why we reached out to her when we wanted not only to sell our first home but find our forever home. From the minute, we called Jackie she was on it. She was in constant communication with us. She took the time to explain everything to us and in return listen to our concerns, she was ready for whatever we threw at her. The very next day we were scheduled to see what we hoped to be our forever home. We put an offer on it that same night and at the same time Jackie put our house on the market. Within a few hours, she already had a list of people wanting to see our home. It didn’t take long before we got an offer on our home and went into escrow. Unfortunately, our offer on our forever home fell through and it was back to the drawing board. Panic mode kicked in for us and Jackie assured us that everything would work out in the end. Sure enough, a few days later she showed us what is now our forever home.
Throughout the whole experience, Jackie was not only professional, she was always prompt and organized and worked with us around our schedules. She became our therapist through the anxious deadlines, a confidant during the decision making but most of all a forever friend. I would recommend Jackie and Paul Kott Realtors to anyone in the need of a realtor.
Your forever friends,
The Padilla family

I was fortunate to have met and have had the opportunity to work with Steve Rosco. He is a warm, friendly person who is able to communicate his vast knowledge in the buying and selling of real estate. Steve provided me with market information and selling tips that helped me decide where to price my property. He spent time evaluating and recommending improvements that would help me sell my property. Steve handled the negotiations and business dealings. Steve was always available to answer questions and he was very thorough in his work for me. I am looking forward to working with Steve Rosco on my future real estate ventures.

Joel worked diligently as our realtor for over a year as we searched for our ‘perfect’ home. He offered and came to numerous open houses at our convenience, while providing honest feedback and opinions throughout the searching process which was greatly appreciated. After he had helped us find the home we had been waiting for, Joel guided us through the offer and negotiating process making my wife and I feel extremely comfortable despite facing the largest purchase of our lives. Throughout all our interactions, Joel was attentive and without a doubt left us with a feeling he was looking out for our best interests. After closing our transaction, the listing agent commented on Joel’s professional demeanor and acknowledged Joel helped get us the deal as opposed to the other offers on the table. He does his job and he does it well.

Debbie Esquivel | Broker Associate
I hired Debbie Esquivel as part of a team with Cecilia Aguilar to sell our home. I had never been through the process of selling a home so I really wanted someone with experience. Well God answered my prayers because Debbie has over 20 years of experience and it clearly shows. She was very good at communication and making us feel appreciated and yet sensitive to what our needs were to move forward to sell our home. She is charming and really knows how to engage with potential home buyers. She brings a sophistication and has great taste to help us get the house "open house ready" for style and helped bring the "wow" factor to our home.
She was there for every meeting to go over all the details of the week and future goal points for us to have a successful home transaction. Her energy makes you feel like she can be a part of your family or even better, you gain a friend cheering you on!
I highly recommend Debbie Esquivel to represent you for selling or buying, for any of your real estate needs.
A Very Happy Homeowner,

Joel is the BEST! My wife and I had been looking for a larger home for our growing family for the last few years. Joel came highly recommended and for good reason. Joel is knowledgeable, professional, and works extremely hard for his clients. We met with Joel and described the type of house we were looking for. We explained we were not in a rush, but if the right house popped up we’d be interested in making a move. Over the past couple years, I would periodically get calls from Joel when a house would hit the market that fit our description. We viewed several houses with Joel over the span of 4 years. Despite us never making an offer on a house, Joel continued to spend his valuable time working on our behalf. He was never pushy and never pressured us. This summer Joel contacted us and showed us our “dream house.” We made an offer, Joel negotiated aggressively on our behalf, we closed the deal, and we started escrow. Throughout the escrow process Joel was amazing. He walked us through all the different steps, forms, reports, etc. It was an entirely foreign world to us. Joel explained it all and made sure everything was done on time. Joel was always responsive to our calls or texts. Joel also helped us lease our old home, put us in touch with great remodeling contacts, and assisted in everything we needed. Joel is well known and highly respected in the real estate industry, and we saw first hand why that is the case. We can’t say enough positive things about him. I highly recommend Joel for your real estate needs.

We would like to take a moment to share our experience of working with Debbie Esquivel, Broker Associate at Paul Kott Realtors, Inc. We have bought and sold properties in the past and worked with a few different realtors and those instances were satisfactory and there were no complaints. However, this time around working with Debbie Esquivel far surpassed those experiences. She had a level of professionalism, knowledge of the industry and the ability to coordinate all the moving pieces with ease and confidence that was far superior. We were in a situation where we found a house that we fell in love with and needed to quickly list our property. She handled the timeline and coordinating and we never felt that she was too busy for us. Lastly, she was also extraordinarily gracious and kind to our 2.5 year old son, who was at all the meetings. In conclusion, Debbie was worth her weight in gold and we could not have been happier with the experience. We would confidently recommend her and use her services in the future.
Sincerely,
Brian and Erin Longhofer
Steve Rosco | Realtor
Just a short note to thank you again, one more time, for the truly superior way you handled the sale of my property in Bellflower. As you know I struggled with another real estate agent for six months with literally no activity. I fired him, hired you and bingo, three weeks later I had a good offer that eventually led to a sale. You are a true professional Steve. Your attention to detail and strategy were impressive and served to instill a degree of confidence in your ability on my part, that was absent in my dealings with other agents. I wish you the best and even though we conferred long distance, I feel I made a friend. Stay well.
I would highly recommend you to anyone buying or selling a home that wants energetic, competent and ethical representation.

Joel came as a referral from a friend and we couldn't be happier with our decision to work with him in purchasing our first home! He was very professional yet personal and friendly, to the point where we've now become more of friends after the fact. From late night responses to questions of ours to meeting contractors when we couldn't, he went above and beyond. He was knowledgeable about the entire process which was extremely helpful since we've never done it before. Joel went to bat for us when we had requests and concerns and ultimately my wife and I came out of the process extremely happy with our home and in choosing Joel to help!
Philip & Courtni English
Debbie Esquivel | Broker Associate
Thank you so much for helping us purchase our home! With your expert guidance, we were able to navigate the muddy waters of Orange County real estate knowing that you were representing us well. You explained the entire process clearly and made us feel at ease as we house hunted, placed an offer and closed.
Most importantly, we always knew you had our best interest in mind. Never once did we feel that we were being pressured or that your advice was ever motivated by anything other than your desire to help us find the right home. You kept us informed every step of the way and always communicated quickly and efficiently.
Thank you so much for everything that you have done for us. We are true Debbie Esquivel fans!

Jackie Garibay | Realtor
Jackie gets an A+++ rating from me. When I was looking for my “forever home “Jackie was with me all the way. She checked the listings every day to see if there was anything that she thought would fit my criteria (I was very particular about what I wanted). If there was a possibility that I might like it, she found out when it was available to be seen. We saw quite a few places before we found my forever home. Through it all, Jackie was professional, always prompt, always organized.
I would (and will) recommend Jackie to anyone in need of a realtor. Aside from her wonderful work ethic, Jackie is also one of the most patient, kind and caring people I have ever met in my life. She was an absolute joy to work with.
Sincerely,
Mary Sanchez

We had a wonderful experience working with Joel! He was very professional yet felt like we can call him a friend. His knowledge of the areas and the competition really helped us make the best decisions. He really went to bat for us when we needed him to. Not once did we feel like he wasn't fighting for us. When certain things come up that we were uneducated on, he took the time to explain it to us. He brought a lot of ideas to the table when talked about cosmetic work on our house. I would highly recommend considering Joel. We will certainly be working with him again once the time comes.

When I first started the process of marketing my parents’ estate, it was on overwhelming project. My sister, brother and I had not yet recovered from losing our father and we were now faced with this awesome responsibility. Fortunately, the initial person I contacted was a reputable professional who thoughtfully considered the issues involved and recommended you as the most competent person to handle the real estate transactions. Even the Orange County Probate Referee, who had never personally met you, was familiar with your work. He told me that you had a “sterling” reputation in the industry.
My parents’ estate and our current family situation presented some very unique and complex challenges. You were always responsive to my questions and concerns as well as to those of my attorney and siblings. All your efforts culminated in three very successful real estate sales in an incredibly short 3 months. Since these properties had been owned by my parents for over 50 years, the sales involved mixed emotions for our family. We celebrated success of the sales but at the same time, were required to let go of something that was so much a part of each of us. You found a buyer who is a prominent local businessman and resident or Orange whose passion for the City of Orange and it’s history is unmatched. I believe he will maintain the historical integrity of the property and honor the memory of my parents with his commitment to the history of Orange and the success of Orange businesses.
You have exceeded all of my expectations. On behalf of my sister and brother, I thank you for your exemplary service and your friendship. I sincerely believe my parents would be very proud of the transactions and the manner in which they were handled. You may feel free to use my name as a reference at anytime.

I contacted your firm and asked if you would handle the sale of my secretary and dear friend of mine for over 32 years, Bea. You wisely assigned Steve Rosco to list Bea's property. I just want to tell you how impressed I am with Steve's handling of her listing. Quickly finding a buyer for the property was terrific, but the additional personal service he provided, and the personal counseling to Bea was invaluable. Steve performed with the utmost integrity and treated Bea with the utmost consideration in all areas. It has meant a lot to Bea; she is very grateful and so am I. Steve is truly a credit to your organization. You are fortunate to have such a fine person associated with your firm. Again Paul, I want to thank you for your help and for providing such a high caliber individual to handle the sale for Bea.

To mangle the words of that late nineteenth century Baptist minister, Charles Haddon Spurgeon:
“…And did you ever walk out upon that lonely desert island upon which you were wrecked and say, “I am alone – alone – ALONE – nobody was ever here before me?” And did you suddenly pull up short as you noticed, in the sand, the footprints of a person? I remember right well passing through that experience – and when I looked, Lo, it was not merely the footprints of a man that I saw, but I thought I knew whose feet had left those imprints! They were the marks of Debbie Esquivel! So I thought to myself, “If she had been here, it is no longer a desert island! As her feet once trod this wilderness-way, it blossoms now like the rose and it becomes to my troubled spirit as a very garden of the blessed!”
I cannot say enough great things about Debbie. During every phase of the house buying process, Debbie was tireless and hardworking. Clydesdale horses look like anemic snails with heat stroke next to her. When we were house hunting, she worked with our schedule to find houses that met our criteria. She helped us figure out, without ever being rude or judgy, that some of those criteria were so idiosyncratic that we were destined to be rent-slaves for eternity if we didn’t loosen the screws.
My soap opera life truly had to be trying her patience. After the first bout of pneumonia, I myself had almost abandoned hope. Years would pass, I thought, before I could ever seek a house again, and I told Debbie that I was going to have to stop looking. After I dragged my crippled carcass back to work, though, house hunting in The Colony again seemed possible, and I started peeping property on the internet. As soon as I saw a promising house, Debbie would quickly get all the information on the domicile so we could act as expeditiously as possible.
When we finally zeroed in on the house that is now mine, Debbie and I swooped in like carpetbaggers during reconstruction, and soon I was in the prime spot to win my new home. Why? Because Debbie hustles!! No Lollygagging!! She made sure I got everything done at light speed! My paperwork was all done, i’s dotted and t’s crossed. She got Julie on board and ran interference for any problems. If I made a booboo, she was right there on the spot, having me correct it and getting it back to Julie.
At this point, it was easier for me to make mistakes as I was not suffering anoxic brain damage from my second bout of pneumonia. As I lolled about the apartment wheezing and gasping, Debbie scurried to the Walgreens for antibiotics, rescuing me from the clutches of death. She brought succor and sustenance, she listened to my moaning (which tends to drag on a bit like a Wagnerian opera), and she was a rock to my long-suffering daughter, Grace.
Even after we had closed on the house, and her work was theoretically done, Debbie did not slink off like a politician after winning the election. She has hung around and been a true friend. I have had problems!!! That creepy, sociopath leasing agent from my apartment building has been trying to drive me nuts. Debbie flagged down his crazy train and helped me get off. We’ll skip the details, as I shudder daintily in horrified memory, but trust me, I needed all the emotional support and industry knowledge that I could get. She’s been giving me names and numbers of people and agencies to help out, and name and numbers for workmen for my new house. Things are looking up.
I have no hesitation in recommending Debbie to sell Real Estate or Mars when interplanetary flights become available, but until then, I’m recommending her to anyone who asks for a realtor in Orange County.
Yours truly,
Virginia A. Teddy, M.D.

Because of family problems, we were forced to short sale our condomium at the Stadium Lofts in Anaheim. We listed it with Joel Kott at Paul Kott Realtors in Anaheim CA in May of 2011. We received an offer, Joel negotiated with the buyer and the first and second mortgage companies, the buyer backed out but Joel was ready with a back-up offer which was accepted. He was on top of each step and guided us through the process. He was respectful of our privacy and request for 24 hour notice to show the property. The use of docu-sign avoided the need for multiple visits to his office. We had heard about so many difficulties in short sales, and although it was not easy, Joel Kott completed the sale and escrow closed in October 2011. We were very impressed with his professionalism and highly recommend Joel Kott.
Cecilia Aguilar | Realtor
Cecilia helped me purchase my first home. She showed me a variety of different listings, and continued to search until I found the right property. Since this was my first home buying experience, I learned very quickly that it is important to find a realtor who is truthful, trustworthy and reliable. Cecilia without a doubt is all of those things. She was always available to help me work through the process, and was always looking out for my best interest. I cannot recommend her enough and I am so grateful for such a hard working realtor. She was always there for me to listen and answer last minute questions.

I placed my home on the market with Steve Rosco and within the first week, I received an offer agreeing to my asking price and completed the sale within 3 weeks. Steve Rosco more than exceeded my expectations and I know that the sale of my home would not have been as successful or as easy without Steve's efforts. I would gladly recommend him to anyone seeking similar service.

Joel helped sell our home in California during our relocation to Texas. This was my husband and I's first time selling a home along with moving cross-country and Joel helped make the process as easy as he could. Utilizing docusign, being constantly available via text, quick and efficient email response, and even offering advice and suggestions for purchasing our new home in TX, were just of the some of the ways he went above and beyond. I fully believe we were able to get over asking price and top dollar for our home because of his marketing and negotiating skills. I've already recommended him to several friends and will continue to do so!

We would like to take a moment to express our gratitude for all the help and support Jackie provided throughout the sale of our home! We had decided to use Jackie as she seemed passionate about what she did. From the moment, we called her and told her we were interested in selling she was on top of it. Less than a week later she had photos done, the sign up and was holding our first open house. In exactly one week of our home being on the market we got an offer. Jackie was on top of it from the beginning and in constant communication throughout the way. She took the time to explain everything to us and she listened which was important. She worked with us and around our very busy schedule bringing documents to multiple locations for us to sign. In the future when our family is ready to find our forever home Jackie will be the first person we call as we know she will be there every step of the way!
Thank you for everything.

This letter is to let you know of the outstanding job Steve Rosco did as my Realtor. I chose Steve because he represented the Sellers when I bought the house ten years ago. I was impressed with him then and even more now! Steve helped me the whole way through my selling process. He made sure all the paperwork was handled as well as my struggles with the sale of my house. Steve is a caring gentle soul and I felt completely well taken care of. I would recommend him to anyone of my friends. Thank you Steve Rosco for all of your help through my difficult time and closing that chapter.

As a first time buyer, I really didn't know what to expect. I was nervous about finding the right place in the right neighborhood and about the whole buying process. Joel went above and beyond to make sure I had a thorough understanding of everything, and he made buying my first home a breeze! From responding to every single one of my questions to holding my hand through the signing of loan docs (which he absolutely did not need to do!), I am so grateful to have worked with him and look forward to staying in contact as my family grows and we need to expand. Thank you Joel!

We used Joel Kott to negotiate the sale and purchase of our home. As an agent he worked with us to market our house and helped us to maximize our home value. Joel, listened to what we were looking for in a new home and was able to be flexible and adapt to us as we changed our mind to better narrow our search. Due to his ability to listen and adapt our home search evolved and we ended up in a great home and great neighborhood--nowhere close to where we started looking and we couldn't be happier.

I met Debbie when I was renting a condo in Anaheim, she was the leasing manager. Always dressed professionally and smiling, she is so approachable and yet she is a mix of professionalism and excellent service. We she got back to the realty business again, I knew I wanted her to be the one to help me get a house no matter what my circumstances were at the time. Fast forward two years, she helped me in every step of the way making sure I will never do the same mistakes again that got me to a mess 8 years ago. I just moved to my perfect home this week and Debbie was there day or night, text or email, always on top of things and because of her extended knowledge and experience in front and back of real estate business, she made sure it was done right. I am a happy camper!! Thanks Debbie, Can't wait to work with you again on my business expansion.

He was knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions asked. My Grandmother is a elderly woman who recently lost her husband and needed special care and comfort in selling her home. Steve did a wonderful in taking care of her. In the future I will not hesitate to refer him to an family or friends. He did a terrific job!

Joel helped me purchase my second home and I cannot express how much easier this process was than the first experience. He guided me every step of the way, found the perfect house, negotiated a great price, and wasn't calling me constantly with some sort of an emergency to get paperwork completed. He even pointed me in the right direction to get financing.
He's knowledgeable, considerate, and listens to his customer's needs. I really am not sure how an agent could be any better. I give Joel my absolute highest recommendation!

Cecilia Aguilar | Realtor
When I decided to go on the house hunt I truly had no idea what I was really getting myself into. I had never gone through the process of selling or buying before, my husband had purchased our home before I married him. After 14 years I knew we needed a change. So I eagerly convinced our family that we should sell and purchase a new home. Well in this new age of the internet there are many ways to sell your home and we weighed out all of the options from selling on our own through websites or the new streamline purple bricks or other agencies that can give the homeowner more of the percentage of the home sales without a realtor. At the end of the day it comes down to relationships and knowing all of the steps to get through this major transaction of a life change. We decided to contact Cecilia Aguilar, she is a hard worker for her client and is always reliable. Cecilia helped us sell and buy our next dream home and truly guided us into or next chapter in life. We definitely recommend Cecilia to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Jackie Garibay was our Real Estate Agent when we purchased our home in Anaheim.
House hunting can be a tiresome experience, but Jackie did all the work for us! We felt like we were her only clients, always available to show us homes that fit our criteria. She was well-informed about all the properties she brought us to see, and was happy to answer any questions we had. We never felt rushed around, but instead took our time to explore and ponder and to get a feel for each house. She was very patient with us!
When we did decide on a home, she guided us through the process, letting us make the decisions without any pressure. She was also very thorough with the paperwork. We felt confident in signing our documents.
Jackie was the best part of the package! She represented us well, and always looked out for our best interest.

Joel was extremely helpful throughout the grueling short sale process. He repeatedly took the time to answer my questions about the process as a whole as I was a first time buyer. Furthermore, when my lender failed to come through while in escrow, Joel secured an extension on the short sale approval letter and connected me with a lender with which he works closely that was able to close my deal within the allotted time period. I have recommended Joel to friends of mine that were also very satisfied.

Anna and I want to express our appreciation to you for the highly professional and ethical manner in which you handled the sale of our property in Fullerton. All aspects of our total transaction, from beginning to end, were a smooth and enjoyable experience. Your attention to detail was a pleasure for us to witness and without a doubt, was beneficial to both us and the buyer of our property. If all Realtors were a competent and ethical as you are, the real estate industry would truly be a remarkable profession.

Again, I really appreciate the extra effort you have put in to make the sale of my home come to fruition. After buying and selling seven homes you are the best agent I have ever met.

We chose Jackie to list our family home in Anaheim after interviewing a number of real estate agents. Although Jackie is a newer agent, she was very well prepared for our initial meeting. Her enthusiasm and desire far surpassed the more experienced agents we interviewed but we were particularly drawn to her because of her professionalism and because of knowledge of the market near our home. We were also impressed by the support that Jackie received from you and the other agents in your office.
Jackie’s insight into the market and the neighborhood sales helped us set a good price for the home and she gave us some tips for enhancing its marketability. The day after Jackie listed our home, we had a qualified, full-price buyer! As with all real estate transactions, there were a few issues associated with the house that needed to be resolved. Thanks to Jackie’s skills, all of these items quickly became non-issues and the sale actually closed in less than thirty days.
In short, Mr. Kott, we were delighted to have worked with Jackie Garibay and we hope you will commend her for the work she did for us.
Sincerely,

If only I could give more than 5 stars! Joel was awesome from start to finish. He has helped us buy two homes and sell one in the past few years and all three transactions felt effortless. And from a negotiation / pricing standpoint, Joel killed it! We got the houses we wanted in VERY tight markets and under budget. I can't praise Joel enough for taking care of me and my family.

One of the better investments one can make is the purchase of their home and/or other real estate properties. How we take care of those investments is very vital including the important decision in eventually selling that investment.
When selling your home, it is comforting to know that it will be placed in the hands of someone with whom you have complete faith and trust. We are indeed fortunate to have had someone who is honest, reliable, has complete integrity and who has my interest at heart. When it comes to our real estate marketplace, you know it “from stem to stern” including pricing, marketing and strategizing in the best interest of your client. In my estimation, making that decision with Paul Kott of Paul Kott Realtors, Inc. in Anaheim was a great one. Paul has been in business for over 35 years and has an impeccable record and reputation of selling more properties and homes than any ten brokers in this community. In fact, we placed our home located on Janeen Way on the Market in October, during what may have been a difficult time of year so my wife and I could move into Walnut Village, a retirement community in Anaheim. Paul dispelled the notion of the timing and had up put our home on the market at the highest price possible for our neighborhood.
That was a good move for us because we moved into Walnut Village, which had the necessary Care Center for my wife, and then let Paul do his magic with his sales approach, which was outstanding and effective. During the course of our transaction, the buyer thought he could get a better loan on the property and decided to cancel his original loan commitment to seek out another loan which took time to pre-qualify and consequently delayed the sale. However, our broker stood by us and helped us strategize how we could benefit during the delay and we eventually closed the deal! There is no doubt that if it was not for the trustworthiness and the persistency of our broker by keeping the buyer’s “feet to the fire” and have the sale close in a most timely and favorable way for us, we would have had to cancel the sale. After working with you through 6 previous real estate transactions, we had complete confidence and trust and knew that working with you was the right course of action for us.
It was a pleasure working with you and making this sale a reality and a blessing for us. As far as we are concerned, there is no one better in the business than Paul Kott.

Joel helped my wife and I buy our first home in August 2009. If I could sum the whole experience up in a few words it would be: excellent customer service. Joel is a very nice young man, and gave us all the attention we expected during this life changing decision. He is very knowledgeable, and very capable. He helped us beat out other offers, and still managed to negotiate a great price. Being a real estate broker myself who specializes in property management, I continue to rely on Joel's expertise when it comes to buying and selling real estate. He is truly an expert in his field, and would highly recommend his services to anyone buying or selling property.

Jackie was tremendous in her efforts to sell my father's home in Anaheim. She handled childish family disputes with professionalism and never lost her sense of humor during the process.
She always responded quickly to requests and was always available to us when we had questions or concerns.
A+. We would hire her again immediately.

Joel came highly recommended and for good reason. Joel is knowledgeable, professional and works extremely hard for his clients. He is well known and highly respected in the Real Estate industry and we saw first hand why that is the case. We can’t say enough positive stuff about him. I highly recommend Joel for your real estate needs.

Just a short note to let you know that one of your agents, Jackie Garibay, went above and beyond helping place us in a home. We stopped by an open house that she was showing and explained our situation with having trouble finding a rental. Jackie showed us several homes for rent, explained our situation to potential landlords and because of her diligence, we now live in a beautiful home. Going forward we will definitely call upon her and your agency for purchasing our next home. Thank you doesn't say enough.
Respectfully yours,

It was a pleasure to list my mother’s house with you to sell. You never tried to over promise what you thought the house might sell for in this tough market. Throughout the sales process you kept me informed of the status of the marketplace as well as any interested buyers. I also never felt pressured to lower our asking price to make your job easier even when we received credible offers below our asking price.
When we finally received and accepted an offer, you very professionally guided me through the complex paperwork maze that now accompanies the sale of a house.
And lastly, you knew well the history of homes in the older section of Anaheim and the stories that went with many of them. I always felt that you were sensitive to the fact that the Ganahl family was selling a home in which our family had lived in for 62 years. To us, this was far more than just “flipping a house.”
I would highly recommend you to anyone buying or selling a home that wants energetic, competent and ethical representation.
Yours Truly,

Joel helped my husband and I buy our first house and I can't be more thankful for his great work. He made a process we were both somewhat nervous about very easy and comfortable. Prior to our search he made sure he fully understood exactly what we were looking for and only showed us houses that fully met our criteria. Upon showing us multiple houses he was extremely honest about the house, area, etc. He made sure we were fully aware of the pros and cons of each house and helped ensure we made a fully informed decision. Joel was also extremely responsive during every aspect of our purchasing process, which was very important to me as I tend to have a lot of questions. He was honest and up front throughout the entire process, making it much easier and relaxing for us. I am very appreciative of all of Joel's help during a very exciting and nerve racking time in our lives and would recommend him to anyone.
