I am not one to write reviews, however working with Chase and the Whitney Team warrants one for sure. When, at the beginning of August we were informed by our landlord that he was selling our home and that we have 60 days to move out, we were in an absolute panic. We were frantically looking for rentals that met both our needs and our price range...and we could find nothing! At that point, I began having a nagging thought that maybe we were in a position to buy a house. I received a referral for the Whitney Team from a good friend, and from the moment my husband and I first met with him, it was clear we were in competent hands. Chase clearly knew what he was talking about, and answered our many, many questions with patience and understanding. While I had shopped around for lenders, we ended up using his suggestion as he gave the best interest rate...and we realized we could fulfill our dream of being homeowners. We were very motivated in the search process, and Chase was there with us step by step, guiding us and offering sage advice based on experience. About a week after we started looking we had found "the one." I knew it the moment we walked through the door. Chase submitted our offer, and guided us through the whole escrow process flawlessly. Our escrow closed on 8/31/18, and we took possession of the house a few days after... ONE MONTH after the process began. To say we were impressed with the experience is an understatement. I would highly recommend Chase and the Whitney Team to anyone who asks. Even after we had moved in, I thought there was a problem with an outlet, and Chase came right over to test it!!! Who does that?!? What I thought would be a difficult and stressful experience was actually not difficult at all.... It was a joy, and Chase helped our dream of being homeowners to come true.

Philip goes above and beyond and far surpassed my expectations. I first met Philip at an open house he was holding in Huntington Beach. At first I was unsure being represented by the same relator as the seller but my intuition was telling me Philip was honest, ethical, knowledgeable, and dependable. Boy was I right and he was even so much more! He facilitated everything perfectly ensuring a smooth closing. He was always available, promptly responded, and kept everything on track.What also is so remarkable with Philip, is that even after the closing he continued to help with design ideas, repairs, and renovations for my new place. One example was once the refrigerator was disconnected, a leak was discovered in the water line where it connected to the refrigerator. Philip took it upon himself to repair it that very next day (and he covered the cost!). In addition, he coordinated with professionals he had worked with to set up appointments to give me estimates on paint, new foors, kitchen cabinets, countertops, electrical work, and handyman services. Everyone he referred were awesome and very reasonably priced too. He also talked with his wife on some design ideas (she's an interior designer) and gave me some great advice and tips. There are so many examples where he went above and beyond!Philip's motto is "client for life". He genuinely cares and gives the absolute best service. I actually think his motto could be "friend for life". I whole heartedly recommend Philip!

We just relocated within our neighborhood and our realtor was Phillip DeMatteo. Weve seen his sign frequently in our neighborhood on houses that were for sale by other realtors, they didnt sell and then Philips sign went up and the house sold. I had no idea a realtor was so efficient, helpful and kind. He is the best realtor weve ever had, and certainly our aEURoeRealtor for LifeaEUR?. I know that sounds questionable, but weve never had a realtor who truly had our best interest at heart. Philip successfully negotiated with seller for us on a few deferred maintenance issues, during the process he was patient, and assisted us with so much, he was FULL SERVICE, he had a team of experts, which included his office staff, a professional designer/stager, carpet cleaner, plumber, electrician, and movers. He has an arsenal of competent/honest business partners he has referred us to. Escrow closed early. After the move, we had a few glitches with the new house and Philip stepped in again with his professionals to see us through. Phillip DeMatteo exceed our expectations in every way, I highly recommend you use Philip DeMatteo and then you will also say, aEURoeREALTOR FOR LIFEaEUR?. Thank you Phillip !

If you need a realtor, you can can count on Phillip DeMatteo to find you your future home.This is actually the 2nd go round, me and my wife have worked with Phillip. He landed us our first home, (a condo) 3 and half years ago. We had no idea of who to talk to and where to go to first. My wife's best friend suggested Phillip to us because he also help them purchase their first actual house. So we made the phone call and he responded right away. We told our goals, what cities we we're looking at and how much house we could afford. Our biggest goal was location was to stay in Los Alamitos for the school district. Phillip does what he does best and he found us 1 listing. We went to check it out and it was everything we we're looking for. SO YES. The same Saturday we first Phillip, he FOUND US us our first home, WE WERE SIGNING PAPERS and we're on escrow the following Monday.Now, here we are 3 and half years later. My wife wanted to upgrade into something bigger than what we had. Again, our main goal was to stay in city of Los Alamitos. I said there's only one realtor I want to work with and that's Phillip. We make the phone call and here we are again, house searching with Phillip. He will even pick you up sometimes to check out the listings you are inquiring about. He will go beyond and above to get you an appointment to check out a listing as soon as possible. So he found us several houses we liked, but in the end, HE ULTIMATELY LANDED AND FOUND US our future house in Los Alamitos like we wanted to all along. He also has the best assistant's. Tina Ceja and Sean Bora work just as hard, night and day like Phillip, to help you with what ever you may need, what you need sign, help move, who to contact, set up appointments with whomever,etc. Again, Phillip is the BEST and there is nobody else i would rather go with than him. He delivers the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE a realtor can give. He communicates with you 24/7 whether it be by phone call ,text, or email the entire step of the process. There is no one else who will dedicated their time and effort better than this man. He truly goes beyond what a realtor should do and we are truly blessed to have worked with him again. And if we ever have to do this all over again, you know we will be calling Phillip. Thank you Phillip, Tina and Sean for all your hard work! It is GREATLY APPRECIATED
