+ Alisa A.

"Valerie and her team did an AMAZING job! She sold my rental condo during the middle of the COVID crisis in 3 weeks! Not only did she take care of all of the details, she found my tenants a wonderful home too. I didn't even realize she had an showings until she called me with an offer. Excellent service!"

+ Mary R.

"Valerie and her real estate team were outstanding! Her knowledge and expertise got us the best possible price for our family home. During the selling process when anything came up, Valerie was there with solutions! Very responsive and professional! Torelli Realty is the best firm in the area. Valerie has a lot of resources from packers, cleaners and movers to assist. Highly recommend Valerie and Torelli Realty if you want positive results!! We could not be happier!"

+ Dan & Karen E.

"We have known and worked with Valerie for over 25 years, she has listed and sold 4 homes for us. We keep coming back to Valerie because of her extensive knowledge of the Costa Mesa real estate market, her contacts, her professionalism and her ability to get the job done! Our most recent transaction is another example of why we use her and will continue to do so. We listed our home in Feb. and Valerie was fielding several offers within days of putting it on the MLS. We had not purchased another home since we did not expect it to sell so fast! Valerie found us exactly what we were looking for, at the price we wanted to spend. The entire selling/buying process could not have been smoother. This is the 9th home we have purchased, work has moved us around the country. No matter what part of the country we have lived in, we have never received the personal and caring customer service that we have received from Valerie Torelli. She is professional, courteous and appreciative of the business we have given her. We have had real estate agents that never even said "Thank You” for the business we have given them, Valerie makes a point to Thank You from the first day of the listing to the day you close. In order to have a successful experience with any realtor, you do have to do your homework. Have your house ready to be put on the market, know the market value of your home by doing some research on the internet, and market values of where you want to purchase. For a company to be around for over 25 years, they have to be doing something right. There are a lot of part time Realtors, first time Realtors, friends that want to be a Realtor, etc., but this is too important of a transaction to trust to someone new to the business. We trust Valerie and her team to get it right!"

+ Mark A.

"We are in the process of selling our home in Costa Mesa (Bird Streets) and hiring a expert that knew our neighborhood, has been the best decision."

+ Dustin & Katie R.

"Torelli was fantastic from start to finish in helping us sell our home, and purchase our next home."

+ Mike D.

"My sale was truly a pain-free experience. I highly recommend her."

+ Margaret L.

"Family home of 50 years needed to be sold and was handled with sensitivity and respect. First meeting with Valerie was impressive with printed information regarding all aspects of process. Immediate action was taken with feedback from open house showings. Adjustments were made and the home sold quickly within the range expected. I received updates, responses and was kept in the loop at all times. Escrow handled complicated, multi party transaction perfectly. Overall experience was great."

+ Susan & Lamar H.

"All the agents in the office who contacted me were professional, timely and efficient."

+ Terry L.

"I just wanted to write you a quick note to thank you again for the terrific service that I received from both you and your companAll the agents in the office who contacted me were professional, timely and efficient.y, during the sale of my home at 1810 Tanager, Costa Mesa. Upon listing my home, you immediately had buyers looking at my home. And not only was the house sold in less than two weeks, but also you got me the price I wanted. The Torelli “team” handled all aspects of the sale of my home. From outstanding marketing and flyers, to handling the small things that most Realtors wouldn’t take time to do. Being in the business myself, (as a loan consultant), I have the chance to work with about 80 to 100 Realtors every year. It’s the small things, and attention to detail that makes the difference. Torelli Realty clearly exceeded my expectations and made the process of selling my home very easy. I would highly recommend Torelli Realty to anyone who is interested in buying or selling Real Estate. Please feel free to use my name in reference to any prospective clients."

+ Lori R.

"I moved into my Mesa Verde home in 1984 and I listed my property with Valerie Torelli because I have watched her successfully sell a multitude of houses in my neighborhood for over 25 years. Valerie was the listing agent and Torelli Realty was the selling agent on my property located at 2076 Mandarin Drive, Costa Mesa, CA. My house closed escrow on August 16, 2013. As a long time Mesa Verde resident, Ms. Torelli’s reputation for honesty, real estate knowledge, and strong work ethic were well known to me years before I decided to list my home with her.

Based on her reputation, I expected Ms. Torelli’s performance to be outstanding; however, she exceeded my high expectations. During the listing and selling process of my Mesa Verde home, some of the individuals involved were very hard to contact which made it very difficult to deliver the paperwork that needed to be signed and picked up. Valerie surprised me with her tenacity and I do not think that most other Realtors would have been able to get my house listed and sold under these conditions. Valerie is my hero!!!!

The sale of my home was hassle free, timely, and I received a fair price. I am extremely happy with Valerie Torelli and would list with her again. She was professional, honest, and easy to work with."

BUYER TESTIMONIALS

 

+ Daniela R.

"Kate Markert is very professional and straight forward. As a new, single home owner, I couldn't ask for anyone better to walk me through this strenuous process and make sure I was taken care of. She took her time to really explain things to me and taught me the essentials of being a home owner. Because of that, I am now in a four bedroom house that I bought for $692,000 and was appraised for $714,000. My children and I are so happy and so grateful... which would not have happened if it wasn't for Kate's hard work and dedication. Thank you Kate for all you have done and for being so awesome at what you do :) This is a home my kids and I will create amazing memories and cherish forever."

+ Leika B.

"This is the second home we've bought with Kip. He is truly the local expert, especially in Mesa Del Mar. When we would tell people we use Kip they told us "No one loves Mesa Del Mar more than Kip, he's like the mayor of the neighborhood". Very easy to work with, super responsive and makes things happen! Kip goes above and beyond his call of duty and we truly appreciate him! Obviously we'd continue to use Kip in the future and recommend him to friends!"

+ Kevin A.

"Khoi has been a fantastic agent to partner with. He took care of my wife and I throughout our first home purchase, and put our minds at ease in many respects. We loved that he was responsive, attentive, and knowledgeable, but above all else, he had our best interests in mind. Needless to say, we are very happy with the level of service that we received, and would not hesitate to recommend Khoi to anyone. We will be contacting him again in the future for our next home purchase!"

+ Will W.

"Mark worked with us many months in advance of our purchasing a home in Costa Mesa this July, providing excellent insights and being very patient and consultative. He had a great sense of matching to our needs, goals, and style, as well as budget range. When a great Canyon view / Ocean view property in Costa Mesa became available close to the border with Huntington Beach, he alerted us right away and he and the Torelli team were excellent in guiding us to act promptly while doing smart diligence to be sure it was a good decision and value. Mark has a great network of resources, and we felt like we had a full team working on our behalf - including for the mortgage, suppliers, and resources. He was very professional and proactive in helping us schedule key appointments. Lastly, his service has continued post-sale and he cares about ongoing relationships and customer satisfaction. Mark goes the extra mile on all details and made the process smooth, taking the stress out of it - and being sure we accomplished a great result. Hiring Mark was the best decision - we highly recommend him for a Gold star experience."

+ Susanna C.

"I’m a bit behind in thanking you property for all you did in making our first time house purchase go so very well. Thank you so very much. You were the first to let me know that this property was available, got me in to see it first, coached me to write a nice letter so as to leave a good impression and (although I was not there) represented us in a favorable light to the trustee so he could take us seriously as very interested and qualified buyers even though our offer was a bit low. The whole transaction went off without a hitch as far as I can tell even though we had some typical first time buyer jitters. Having looked very intensely for almost a year for the right house at the right price, I have seen all sorts of buyer/seller scenarios. The distressed sale transactions were often filled with drama, unrealistic expectations on both sides, tedium and frustration, drawn out and complicated interactions between parties and a measure of mistrust and hostility tossed in for bad measure. Equity sales reflected owner pride both realistic and not, or fixed up properties and the higher prices locked me out. In comparison, I could not have asked for a cleaner, smoother transaction and I realize that you worked hard to make it that way. Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such a big and long awaited transaction in my life such a good experience. We love this place – and it’s OURS."

+ Jen O.

"This year I purchased my first home with the help of Tracy Wilson. When I decided to begin looking for a home I walked in the Torelli Realty office and happened upon Tracy by chance. This chance meeting couldn’t have worked out any better. I quickly told Tracy what I was looking for and what my price range was; she had appointments set up for me to view homes the next day. It was important to me to work with an agent that was familiar with the Costa Mesa area and this was precisely what I found in Tracy. Besides knowing the area Tracy also quickly understood the type of home and community that I was looking for and was able to cater our search for homes specifically to meet my needs.

Tracy’s knowledge was invaluable to me while being faced with all the questions and confusion that comes with being a first time homebuyer. Tracy was happy to answer every one of my many questions and was able to communicate to me in ways that were easy to understand.

Tracy was a pleasure to work with; I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home."

"Yesterday, escrow closed on the purchase of a home for our son. Anne McCasland was our agent and we want to let you know what a fine job she did for us.

Anne showed us a number of houses in various neighborhoods before we settled on 3216 Nebraska Place. In preparing the purchase offer, she provided helpful insights, resulting in the seller’s acceptance of our offer. She will tell you that we attempted to be thorough and read every document. We asked many questions which she readily answered. For the few that she couldn’t answer, she quickly referred us to the people who knew the answers. Throughout the transaction, she continued to offer ideas to make the process work smoothly and to assure that the relationship among the parties was based on trust and respect. She easily bridged the “generation gap”, working with our 26-year old son and us (his 60-ish parents). At every step, her approach was both professional and friendly to each of us.

Throughout the transactions, she provided us with excellent service. Anne embodies the characteristics that we believe are absolutely necessary in a real estate agent. She is professional, experienced, knowledgeable, responsive and true to her word. In working with Anne, we have discovered a great real estate agent, a neighbor, a friend and a very nice person."

"I have wanted to drop you a note, for the last three months, to thank you for all the hard work you did in representing me in the acquisition of my new estate.

Having been a real estate broker for the last 22 years and with closed commercial and residential real estate sales in excess of over $2.8 billion I have had the opportunity to work with literally thousands of brokers coast to coast. I can say without hesitation, and with no referral fee required, that you are one of the best brokers I have ever had the opportunity to work with.

As your are aware, I had previewed my home first and then did research to find the most active broker in the area to represent me-and there you were!! I knew you would add value in representing me in the buying process. You did, from negotiating a 7% price reduction in one of the hottest markets in the Southland to making sure all inspections, reports, and escrow documents were consummated on a timely basis no matter of the time, day or night you were “right there”. I would be proud to have you represent me on either the sell or buy side of any residential deal. Thank you once again for all your personal attention."

+ Huy N.

"Let’s start off with this: go with Khoi!!! I was referred to him by a friend and he was professional from the start. For my situation I needed a Vietnamese translator to help my parents out and he was 100% capable of that. He was always respectful, patient, and took the time to make us understand what was going on as first time home buyers. He was always in constant communication with me and I never had to wait for any answers or explanations. He pretty much had to do two jobs, explaining things to both me and my parents in English and Vietnamese. Other than how he treats his clients, he found the right place for us almost immediately. Let Khoi make your process easy and enjoyable!"
