“Over the years Tony has listed and sold six of our properties. His expertise is second to none and would definitely do it again”
Engel and Voelkers Laguna Beach / Dana Point
“We had to move my father to my sister's home in Alabama on relatively short notice. I had to manage my father's sale of his home from across the country & I can not imagine accomplishing this without Paul Santoro. Paul not only navigated the sale for us, he skillfully managed the selling of a co-op owned property within Laguna Woods planned community. Paul located, contracted, and hired contractors to address repairs & even pulled permits for us. I can not imagine trying to accomplish everything needed to sell my father's home without Paul. Paul's knowledge, work ethic & personality makes him the perfect realtor to work with. Thank you Paul!”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Nick to purchase my first home, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Nick was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, guiding me through every step of the process with expertise and patience. What really stood out was Nick's ability to explain complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand. He provided me with valuable resources and connected me with individuals who helped streamline the purchase process. Thanks to his efforts, what could have been a daunting experience was actually a breeze. I highly recommend Nick to anyone in search of a dedicated, personable, and professional real estate agent. His expertise and support made buying my first home a smooth and enjoyable journey.”

“After being strung along for 9 months by another agent, my lender Michelle Magana referred Linda Karen to me. Linda and I had one conversation and immediately took up the search to find me home. Linda started by asking what I wanted. Then we started looking online. Within one day we met face to face and began our physical search. While the other agent kept sending emails promising that she "had my back", she never offered to meet with me and never produced or showed me one property in a 9 month period. Linda and I only had 1 telephone conversation, and we set an appointment and were out house shopping the next. Linda doesn't offer lip service and platitudes. Linda comes with factual useful information that yeilds results! Some agents are all talk. Not Linda. She's all about getting you into not just "a house", but into "YOUR HOME". I am a satisfied client and if you are looking for a realtor to be upfront about your options, whose totally invested in finding you the home you need... You want Linda Karen in your corner. She's going to work closely with your lender to get you into the best property for your dollar.”

Urban Lynx Realty, Inc.
“Al quickly and professionally handled all issues with the buyer / contract and issues with the escrow agency. The sale from listing to completion was expeditious and the property sold for more than asking price. I was very pleased with the entire process.”
The Offices At OC
“Diego showed absolute professionalism throughout the entire process. It went very smoothly and all parties were happy with the end result. He was very transparent from the beginning and tempered our expectations from beginning to end. We are very pleased he was able to get above listing price for the home and ironed out all the details in a timely manner. I will definitely refer The Opulence Group to all my friends and family moving forward.”
