We couldnt have purchased our home, let alone in this kind of a market, without CaLee! The time she takes with you from the initial meeting all the way up to closing (and even beyond) is unmatched. She communicates every step of the way and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable during the process. My husband and I were first time buyers and I couldnt have asked for a smoother experience all due to CaLees professionalism, expert guidance and care.

Buying and finding a house at the top of the market was not an easy task.. CaLee was amazing through out the whole process. CaLee was responsive, personable and most importantly professional through out the home buying process. CaLee and her team are amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home, you wont regret it.

We had a great experience with CaLee on the buy and sell of our home.We started with CaLee by canvassing the luxury, high-end neighborhoods in coastal South County. She was able to help us to identify what we wanted and narrow our focus down to Dana Point and South Laguna Beach. So when the perfect house came available, we were able to jump on it right away. CaLee was able to convince the seller to accept our offer at our original offer price....which was amazing in this market.On the sell side, we then had to move very quickly....and our house was not ready. CaLee was really amazing in her ability to bring an entire team to help whip our house into shape. Within about a week we had landscapers, pool repair, wood replacement, painting, stagers, window cleaners and cabinet repairs all completed. It was amazing how much she was able to transform the house in such a short period of time. We received multiple all cash, full price offers within a few days.Overall we would very strongly recommend CaLee. She has a strong moral compass and is obviously well respected by other realtors, contractors, etc in the market. That credibility really helped us to get the best result possible.

We found CaLee online when looking to relocate from Sydney to California for summer 2021. As everyone knows the housing market was red hot and finding/buying a home was difficult. Also given Covid restrictions, we were buying sight unseen from thousands of miles away. After speaking with CaLee on numerous occasions, we put an offer on a first house but were unsuccessful in our bid. We then decided to turn our attention to homes that needed more updating given we had a few months before our move. CaLee committed to help us in renovating our home and managing the process, while we spoke with her from Australia. It was a huge leap of faith, and a great success story. CaLee was incredible to work with, taking late night calls from Sydney, walking the aisles of flooring stores to pick stone, helping select countertops and fixtures, advising on paint colors, trim, wainscoting, and new wood floors. We spoke almost daily for 4 months. She helped us completely transform our home from 7,500 miles away. We can honestly say that our experience with CaLee was nothing short of amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone near or far looking for a truly one of a kind Realtor.

CaLee is a magician of sorts! She helped me and my husband buy our home which closed in September of 2021. We randomly saw her at an open house and it turns out we had met before. She told us to trust that she can make it happen and she did. She is very knowledgeable about Ladera Ranch and is a very experienced agent. She was actually more than an agent to us - she treated us like family and helped us work through some interesting quarrels during the process. We are grateful for all her help, her patience and her willingness to go to bat for us with the sellers when they were being difficult. It was quite the rollercoaster buying a house during these times but with CaLee right by our sides, it was a success and now we are in our dream home. :) Thank you CaLee and team for all your hard work!!

We loved working with CaLee! She was quick to respond, available when we needed her, and super knowledgeable about the area. We felt taken care of in our home buying process and even more comfortable in our choice of home. With Covid restrictions she made it easy, even FaceTiming us through a walkthrough so we could see it without having to be there.

We really cannot say enough good things about CaLee as our realtor! Our family just relocated to Orange County. We settled on Ladera Ranch and googled realtors to meet so we could schedule a day to look around a bit at homes and learn the area. We expected to just meet in person, share our wish list for homes, and continue our search from afar. CaLee exceeded our expectations. She spent several hours showing us multiple areas and homes, gave us a great perspective of the area and where we wanted to look, what was in our price range, and what the area had to offer. We knew instantly we wanted to hire her as our realtor and knew she had our best interest at heart. She is very personable. We knew she understood what we were looking for and did her best to help us find it, while also giving us an accurate representation of the area and what was available. After several trips to the area, we made an offer on a home we fell in love with. There were multiple offers in a very competitive market. We cant relate how hard CaLee worked to help us in our negotiations. She had suggestions, walked us through anything we didnt understand, and ultimately our offer was accepted. We really believe this was because of CaLee. She knew the home, filled us in on anything we needed to be aware of, walked us through a difficult inspection day due to the seller. We really just cant say enough about how wonderful she is. She truly went well above and beyond. If you are looking for a realtor, CaLee is the absolute best and highly recommended!

Nobody knows the Ladera Ranch market better than CaLee. We had a dream of downsizing from our Ladera Ranch home of 15 years and finding a single-story home close to the beach. CaLee and her skilled team helped make that dream a reality. From helping us coordinate a kitchen remodel on our Ladera Ranch home in order to get top dollar, to thinking outside the box and finding us a fixer-upper in our ideal neighborhood, CaLee really listened to us and always went the extra mile. CaLee has an amazing team of decorators, contractors and real estate professionals that helped make the home buying/selling process go very smoothly. We couldnt be happier with our new home and we couldnt be more thrilled with the exceptional service and attention to detail we received from CaLee and her team.

If youre looking for someone to go above and beyond on every detail then shes your gal! While in escrow for our new home she came up with a plan for work that should be done at our existing home so it would fly off the market. She helped us spend $15,000 so we could make an additional $40,000 over what she would have recommended us listing our home for without the work. The whole idea was to make it appealing to as many buyers as possible! And that she did! We updated countertops and backsplash in the kitchen and the master bath. We also did a new sink in the kitchen, new carpet throughout and new flooring in master! She also had her gardener take over so the yard looked exactly how she wanted it too for listing. We listed the day after Christmas with more showings I could have thought possible for a holiday week. We were in escrow in 4 days and even had a backup offer over asking! This women is awesome so I hope if your planning on buying or selling you give her a shot!
