Testimonials

We used their property management services with Deby as our agent. We were very satisfied with the job she did and felt that she made thoughtful and thorough recommendations for prospective tenants. She always emailed, called or texted promptly to address any questions or concerns and I felt like she made the process very easy for us to understand. We would definitely use her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else looking for property management services.

Quality Property Management Made Easy! When your hands are full And you have very little time, Hiring a property manager Is not a crime! For a few dollars, You save ten fold in stress. Enjoy your free time. Yup, that means more rest. You will not worry about tenants or their complaints or gripes. You will never have another sleepless night. They took care of the listing. Yes, there is a fee. But, the monthly income they got me Had me super happy! To be blunt, some people can be jerks when dealing in financial matters. The team here maintains open communication and handles problems quickly, efficiently with very little stress. I have maintained a relationship with this company for slightly over two years. They are personable, friendly and take care of your concerns in a professional manner. Kind of odd to say this in the area of property...over time I have learned to trust Deby's judgment. She has not let me down.

This has been our second home transaction with Melinda. My husband and I first worked with her when we bought our home three years ago and then this past month selling our rental property. Melinda is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. If you need someone to hand hold you through the process or hustle for you she and her team are it. We highly reckoned her to all of our friends and family.

I was devastated with a death in the family and I needed to sell a Anaheim Hills condo for the estate. I was approached by numerous brokers, but I did my own research for an experienced local broker and I found Melinda. I planned on interviewing a few brokers, but after meeting with Melinda I knew that she was the one to hire. As is turned out, she is an attorney and an expert on Probate. Melinda and her team was such an incredible help with the preparation of the condo. She has a wonderful brilliant, warm and compassionate team. These are hard workers and everything they promised came though with FIVE STARS. During the escrow I left for Europe and they were right on top of EVERYTHING. Such a ray of sunshine during a sad period for my family. Thank you Melinda.

Thank you for making the sale of the house so easy and all of the extra things you did for us. If we ever have an occassion to refer someone, you’ll be at the very top of the list.

I was involved in the mortgage biz for over 20 years and am HIGHLY skeptical of all realtors but when it came time to sell my Mothers home after her passing I was unnerved as well. I interviewed two other useless realtors (or should I say listing agents) and then Melinda walked into my life. I have NEVER, EVER, run into a more professional team as well as compassionate group of people in my entire life. We referred to Moms home as “Pandora’s Box” as every turn had a surprise waiting for us. Melinda or her team handled each problem as if it was the most interesting thing they had ever seen and in no time at all each “challenge” was solved perfectly. When all was done I have no problems recommending Melinda to anyone for any transaction. Prior to meeting her, I would tell friends to try to do it by FSBO and use a good escrow company but now I simply hand someone Melinda’s card or phone number and I absolutely know, without a doubt the person I refer will be treated honestly and respectfully each and every time.

Melinda and her team helped us sell our old house and buy our new one. They made the whole transaction so simple and seamless. On Sunday, we found the house of our dreams. Melinda had the purchase done in less than a week for under the asking price in a seller’s market. On the sale of our old house, she got us top dollar in less than two weeks. When the purchaser made an unreasonable list of repairs, she didn’t make down or try to convince us to make concessions. The sale of our old and the purchase of our new home couldn’t have happened any smoother. I kept waiting for a bump in the road and it never happened thanks to an incredibly professional and knowledge staff. I have recommended Freedom First to my friends and wouldn’t hesitate to do so in the future. If I ever have the ability to purchase investment properties, I know where to go.

Saying “thanks” and thinking, too, how very nice it was of you! I really appreciate your wonderful advice! Thank you very much.

Dear Melinda & Deby, Thank you so much for your professionalism and attention to detail in renting our property. Each time we’ve worked with you it has been a please and made a potentially stressful experience quite easy. Thank you for the personal attention you have given us.

My family and I worked with Jojo on the sale of our home in 2016 and purchase of a new home late last year. Throughout the process Jojo went above and beyond what would be expected of any realtor. On the sale side, she helped with taking care of small fixes (she actually fixed stuff herself), staging our home, generating a ton of interest and most of all she has a great attitude – she was always available to us for whatever we needed. We had offers within days of our first open house. Not only is Jojo highly knowledgeable of the housing market, she also knows construction. On the purchase side, she was able to easily spot out potential problems immediately upon walking into a home (electrical, foundational, code violations, etc.). She guided us through a very difficult housing market in which there were numerous offers on every home, all cash buyers and investors that we couldn’t compete with. When we finally found “the one,” we were able to beat out eight offers without having the highest or best offer, thanks to her creativity and the relationship she was able to establish with seller and seller’s agent. We never once doubted that Jojo was always working in our best interest. She handled everything for us; meeting with inspectors, contractors, vendors of all types, down to writing letters to sellers on our behalf. The current trend for many is to reduce the involvement of realtors from buying/selling process. We would not be where we are today if we had taken this route. We will always consider Jojo our realtor of record and a close friend.

Melinda is a rainmaker in a drought. We got ourselves into a bad position, bought anew house before selling our existing residence in Anaheim Hills. A really dumb thing to do. Melinda saved us, she ran realtor viewing parties, advertised, and finally procured a decent offer from qualified buyers. She structured the sale so that everybody was happy, a very creative result. It helped that Melinda also represented the buyer, sold their house in 5 days to make the deal work, then took over and handled the administrative aspects with the least amount of inconvenience. We love Melinda, she has substantiated our reason for contracting with her. She has a great support group, a good team, she is an example of what would be expected of the best, really there is no competition.

Bought a single family home in 2014 in Oak Hills. I have complete confidence in Diane. She is a true professional. The viewing and entire purchase process went flawlessly. I highly recommended Diane Greenbaum as your agent for purchase or sale of your home.
