We were new to the Newport area and Heather helped us find our California dream home! She has lived and worked in the area for many years and is extremely organized and knowledgeable in the real estate market! Heather is also an outstanding listener. We shared our price range and "home priorities' with her and she wasted NO time finding us potential houses. We are thrilled with our home and would recommend Heather to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.

I rarely recommend anyone. However, I've just worked with Heather again to purchase a rental property. She is by far one of the top professionals I've worked with in any business area. Pleasant, thorough, diligent, and very intelligent.

Mary Ellen is the most professional, knowledgeable and intelligent realtor I have ever had the privilege to work with in the buying and selling of over 50 homes across America, Europe, Australia and the Caribbean. Her knowledge of the Newport area is second to none; she understands real estate better than any other agent I have come across. She works constantly to stay on top of the market and maintains a commanding knowledge of local market values. Retiring as CEO of a Fortune 500 Corporation several years ago, I decided to move to Southern California. I was unfamiliar with the Newport area. Mary Ellen gave me a tour of the cultural aspects, nature attractions, local points of interest and a wonderful sense of “life in Newport Beach”. No other agent went to so much trouble to give me an overall prospective and to share the joy of living in the community. Mary Ellen, simply stated, is tops in her field. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Heather is a wonderful agent in every respect.

I cannot thank Mary Ellen enough for all her help and her enthusiastic attitude on the acquisition of my Corona del Mar duplex income property. While it took me a considerable amount of time as I was looking for the “right “ investment, I greatly appreciated Mary Ellen’s high level of professionalism, perseverance and patience. Mary Ellen was an absolute delight to work with and you can be assured I will recommend her to all of my friends and colleagues looking for real estate in this area.

Heather is a best agent all around, very professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and skillful in negotiation! My wife and I are extremely satisfied with her service for helping us buy a dream house and would highly recommend to anyone.

Heather helped my husband and I rent our home, and then subsequently sell it. Her knowledge, expertise, integrity and overall professionalism made the process as easy as it could have been for us. We live out of state from the property we sold, and Heather's willingness to help with peripheral issues was truly priceless. I remember thinking repeatedly during the process that it seemed she always had our best interest in mind, providing us with information and ideas before we even thought of what we needed to do. That's a sign of a true professional. We will always use Heather for our future real estate needs, and have recommended her to everyone we know.

Mary Ellen and Bob are real estate specialists in the Newport Beach / Corona del Mar area and are well connected with the market. In dealing with the marketing and sale of our property in Irvine Terrace, Mary Ellen demonstrated great professional integrity and patience while working with us, the existing renters in the property and several prospective buyers. Mary Ellen’s efforts were especially helpful to me as I was out of the country for a good portion of the time the property was being marketed and sold. She always made a point of keeping me aware of all developments and what our response options to those developments might be. She and Bob went above and beyond when they personally cared for physical issues with the property in our absence. Mary Ellen was always available to us and forthright with us throughout the entire marketing and sales process.

My husband and I have been buying, renting, and selling real estate for over 20 years, and worked with numerous real estate agents. We met Heather approximately two years ago. The experience with working with Heather was so smooth and pleasant, that we now only go to her for all our real estate needs. We have not come across anyone with more integrity, expertise, knowledge, and sincerity. She is exceptionally personable, and the best agent EVER!

Thirteen years ago, our decision to retire to Newport Beach, CA came as we were due to return to Chicago from a SoCal vacation. We dropped in to Heather's [then] office and asked her to show us some properties before we left. The following day, on our way to the airport, we met with Heather -- She had nailed it -- found us properties that met our expressed needs. Back in the mid-west, we kept in touch with her as we sold our house. Six months after our initial meeting, we were back in the OC; again, Heather showed us a range of properties and negotiated our purchase. Twelve years later, there was no one other than Heather that we would list with. Her advise and expertise got our home sold within days of listing. Heather has represented us both as buyers and sellers; she knows the coastal communities, understands what buyers are looking for, and negotiates masterfully. Her responsiveness allows deals to happen smoothly. In addition to her professional skills, she is a lovely person.
CLIENT
I have known Mary Ellen for several years and have conducted 4 real estate purchase and sale transactions. She also has represented me in the leasing of my rental properties. Mary Ellen is extremely knowledgeable of the local real estate market and an expert at what she does. She always conducts her business in a very professional manner and communicates regularly on the status of sales transactions. In addition, Mary Ellen has always conducted herself with a respectful and professional demeanor to all parties involved in real estate transactions and her efforts have consistently resulted in successful outcomes. She is a joy to work with and someone you can completely trust to be honest with you and have your best interest at heart. I never worry when Mary Ellen is in charge!
