WHAT THEY SAY
ABOUT US

Just wrapped up my second sale through Torelli Realty. Both transactions have been amazing! My experience with team member Kendra Fisher, who is a rare combination of savvy and trustworthy, along with the guiding expertise of Ryan Knapp, was not only enjoyable and hassle free, but exceeded my expectations at every turn. I always felt they were in my court and looking out for my best interest. I honestly can't say enough!!!

Torelli Realty helped me through my home purchase, providing incredible service throughout the entire process. Ryan Knapp's market insight and strong connections in the Costa Mesa area helped make sure my offer got accepted, and then got me through the finish line making the experience as easy as possible. Will repeat!

If you are looking for a real estate professional look no further! My husband and I have bought and sold many homes but never have had such an experience like the one with Torelli Realty. I can't say enough about how above and beyond they go to sell your home. We were so lucky to find Valerie and Ryan. Can't say enough about what a great experience it was and how easy they made the transaction. We'll never use any other agency to purchase or sell a home.

Ryan Knapp of Torelli Realty sold a house for an older relative of mine. He did an outstanding job throughout the process and kept me completely informed as I was the closest relative to the seller. He also went above and beyond, working around my relative's travel schedule for open houses, and assisting her after the fact as she moved to new housing by helping her sort out personal belongings to keep and dispose of, and much more. Supremely professional and always calm, it was a pleasure working with Ryan. Highly recommended.

Spring 2025 Real Estate Market: Expert Insights on Rising Inventory and Buyer Demand: As trusted real estate professionals deeply rooted in the Costa Mesa community, we understand that buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction—it’s a life-changing experience. With inventory levels rising this spring, the housing market is shifting in ways that create exciting opportunities for buyers. At Torelli Realty, we’re here to guide you through these changes with expertise, compassion, and a commitment to helping you achieve your real estate goals.
What Rising Inventory Means for Buyers: This spring, we’re seeing a significant increase in housing inventory across Southern California. In fact, available listings are up by over 35% compared to last year, marking a notable shift in the market. For buyers, this means:
More Choices: With more homes on the market, you have a greater chance of finding the perfect property that aligns with your lifestyle and vision.
Negotiation Opportunities: Sellers are becoming more flexible as competition among listings grows, allowing buyers to negotiate favorable terms.
Reduced Pressure: The frantic pace of bidding wars has slowed, giving buyers more time to carefully evaluate options and make informed decisions.
Buyer Demand in a Changing Market: While increased inventory creates opportunities, it also brings complexity. Some buyers may hesitate, hoping for further price reductions or waiting to see how the market evolves. However, timing is everything in real estate—and waiting too long could mean missing out on current advantages like competitive pricing and stable mortgage rates. At Torelli Realty, we believe this spring is an ideal time for buyers to act. The combination of rising inventory and motivated sellers creates a unique window of opportunity that may not last long.
Our Commitment to You - At Torelli Realty, we don’t just sell houses—we help people find homes. Our approach is built on four core values:

1 - COMMITMENT

As real estate professionals, we make a commitment to another human being, whose shelter we are going to move them to or from. We make a commitment to be informed, to look beyond our inventory until we have fulfilled your dreams, a commitment to take action and do the extras to enrich the HOME experience.

2 - CONNECTION

Isn’t this all we want as human beings?! When we are truly connected everything falls into place. By creating a strong connection with our customers, asking the right questions and digging deep into your needs we are able to HEAR what you are saying and work with you to make it a reality.

3 - COMPASSION

Buying and selling houses are huge decisions. They are never easy and sometimes overwhelming. All you want is to be understood and know that your concerns matter. As compassionate individuals, it is our job to put our ego aside and put you first, listening to your dreams with an open heart and without making judgments. It is only by walking with you in understanding that we both benefit in this life.

4 - COMMUNITY

As productive, empowered and compassionate individuals, giving back to the community and creating a safe place for others to thrive is a responsibility we take seriously. Torelli Realty is proud to give back in many ways, from helping children with the costs of their instruments to funding the science lab at Tewinkle Middle School, from providing the entire cost of the coding programs at Adams and Sonora Elementary, and the local high schools. We are giving on a world scale with NewStory Charity for global housing. We are committed to donating 5% of our income to charities and fundraisers in the city of Costa Mesa.
