About our clients...

Our happy clients are busy professionals that had a very established home and lifestyle in Washington. Although they were excited about moving to Southern California, the prospect of listing & selling their home before they'd secured a new home was daunting to them.

Why The Edie Israel Team?

We have a long standing relationship with the university where Mr. Happy Client had accepted a position and have worked with many professors when they need to buy or sell their home. Our happy clients' were given our information by the university and checked out our online reviews and website and decided that we were the right team to help them find their new home.

"As soon as we knew we were moving from Washington to Orange County, my wife started shopping for houses online. After looking at hundreds of listings, she finally saw a house that had everything we wanted. The problem was that we were still two months away from putting our Washington house on the market. I didn't think we could make a viable contingent offer, but Edie knew just how to approach it. John & Jim were also stars. John observing the inspection with me and overseeing repairs done after the inspection, making sure everything was right. And Jim overseeing the transaction and our loan process. My wife and I came to trust their judgement to the point that I phoned Edie for help on complications that arose in the sale of our Washington house, and she came through as usual with calm, level-headed advice. Thanks to them, we got the house we wanted, along with the extra 'helps' that make such a big difference when you're new to an area."

What Stuck Out To You?

When we made our initial home buying trip, Edie and team took us to tour north Orange Country so we could become familiar with what the different cities had to offer. We wanted a home with character - something in an established neighborhood with modern upgrades. We saw many homes that met our criteria. Our problem was the timing. We weren't going to list our Washington home for 2 months. My wife saw a new listing online and we flew down to see it. It was perfect! We were amazed that Edie and team were able to work with the seller to get our contingent offer accepted.

How Was The Edie Israel Team Different?

They are truly a full service team. Although they weren't the listing agents on our Seattle home, they still helped us get it sold. They helped us get exactly what we wanted exactly when we needed it. We're confident they'll be our "go to" team for all things real estate for many years to come. They are experts on all aspects of home selling, home buying and home ownership.
