In 2025, our listings sold for an average of 6.8% more than the overall market—over $57,800 more on an $850,000 home—while averaging just 20 days on market versus 75 days market-wide. We're a Zillow Enterprise team—one of only three in the country—with 500+ listings sold in the past five years. We don’t just promise results; we back them up with data.

Gabriela G. bought a home in Murrieta

Jim and his team helped my family and I purchase a home in the height of the COVID housing market. I don’t know how we would have found a home without them honestly! We were pretty overwhelmed with the process, how quickly homes flew off the market and how we could compete!! We worked with an agent of his who educated us on what to expect and how to navigate the competition. They had off market properties so we had the chance to tour 3 homes in the areas we were interested in without competing with 100s of other buyers. Fortunately, 1 of the 3 homes were exactly what we were looking for. They were able to get us in escrow on our dream home AND walk into 11k of equity!!!!! We now have lived in our home for almost 5 years and love it. It wouldn’t be possible without Jim and his team. The lenders they connected us with were fantastic as well and got us locked in at a rate that started with a 2! If you’re lost in the home buying process, call Jim and his team. You won’t regret it!!
