What Do People Say about Harrison and Christi?

Thank You for an Extremely Positive Home Buying Experience

"Dear Christi and Harrison, 
I would like to thank you for an extremely positive home buying experience. From the initial evaluation of locations, price range, size etc. through viewings and preparing offers to the day of closure the two of you have been very professional, thurel and efficient. It was obvious that you cared a great deal about finding the right home for me and there wasn't a moment I had to worry about the process. You communicated well, explained things clearly, gave good advice, presented options and kept things moving. I am very happy in my new home and should I be in the market again someday I wouldn't think twice to use your services again."
Adrian Utz - Irvine, California - October, 2008

Unrelenting Energy and Dedication

 "Dear Harrison & Christi,
A short note of thanks - We could not possibly have succeeded to this point in our relocation plans without your tireless efforts and counsel – Thank YOU!   Your pricing and marketing strategies to sell our Tustin home quickly resulted in multiple offers and an eventual sale price significantly above identical “comps”, truly living up to your company’s mission statement of “Selling Your Home at the Best Price in the Shortest Possible Time”.  Your patience, suggestions, and attention to detail during the entire process of selling our house reduced the stress on our family especially since Gary was in Texas for most of the time dealing with a family health issue and frequent job travels.  Despite the distance, Harrison’s excellent communication and negotiating skills kept offers and counter-offers actively going.   We are also appreciative of the counsel you have provided us in leasing our temporary home in Dove Canyon.  Your attention to details and knowledge of landlord-tenant contractual issues led us to the selection of the right house. We have very much enjoyed working with you both and look forward to your continued support and counsel in our next step – finding that dream home!    
Christi’s energy, patience, and adherence to the Realtor Code of Ethics in touring homes-for-sale, are very much appreciated. Not only does she always have essential property information and sales data on hand, but has her tape measure handy to check bonus room dimensions for Gary’s pool table. Christi is always helpful to remind us when we’ve forgotten to check on a particular feature during property previews and offers excellent ideas to overcome perceived shortcomings on any particular candidate home. We really have lots of fun touring with her in looking for that perfect home.  
We know and trust that, with both your help, we will find and successfully negotiate the purchase of our dream home in the next couple of months".  
 Gary and Cindy Kratochvil, 2008
 

Sold our home the first week .. for full price
"WOW!  What can we say?  Harrison & Christi sold our home the first week we were on the market for FULL price and an all cash offer in one of the most challenging of markets for sellers.  Beside that they provide the ultimate in customer service in an extremely professional manner.  No this isn’t a paid ad; we are just thrilled with all they did for us." 
Lon & Shari Adams, November 2007
 
Great People To Work With 
"Harrison and Christi are great people to work with. They listened to my needs and wants, showed me a variety of properties and guided me through the process of buying a home for the first time. Their attention to detail made the process go smoothly and really helped put my mind at ease. 
Even after the close of escrow, they worked tirelessly to resolve an issue with the sellers of the property regarding a credit that was owed to me. And they’ve followed up to just make sure that I’m happy in my new home – I AM!! 
Harrison and Christi are honest, trustworthy and professional. I would highly recommend working with them!"
Mary Clements, Aliso Viejo, California, January, 2009
 
Thank you Harrison and Christi for your hard work and dilligence ... 
"Thank you Harrison and Christi for your hard work and dilligence in getting my lease done.  You worked tirelessly to find the right property and promptly dealt with all issues and concerns in producing an acceptable lease that worked out fine.  I greatly appreciate your efforts to take these concerns off my shoulders and get the job done as efficiently as I could have hoped for." 
Richard Ward, Irvine, California, March 2009
 
Effort, energy and guidance you provided as our Realtors 
"We want to thank you both for the effort, energy and guidance you provided to us as our realtors.  You have a complimentary style as a team, both of you are very professional as well as warm and personable. We brought some unique challenges to your job.  As first-time homebuyers, we had many questions and concerns.  Your expertise and willingness to research the information we needed helped us feel both more confident and ready to move forward with each of the major steps required to buy a home...You were very diligent to utilize the resources of e-mail to keep us both up-to-date. Thank you for your attention to detail, particularly with our concerns about our daughter and the big transition she was making.  We felt like you were looking out for her needs as well as the real estate issues we had discussed with you.  Again, we appreciate your services and your skills as we made this major life transition to home ownership." Mark Tomich & Ginny Farmer-Tomich, September 2005
 
Christi and Harrison Long do a little more ... and make dreams come true
"Reputable and experienced realtors make things happen for sellers and buyers of property…but professionals like Christi and Harrison Long, do a little more… and make dreams come true. In just one busy month we sold both our primary residence in the SF Valley and a rental and bought a perfect one-level town home in Irvine. It was one of many shown to us on line and in various neighborhoods by Christi, who had endless energy, knowledge and enthusiasm to find the right home and location. As retired seniors, we knew what we could afford, and what we preferred, and they both were sensitive to that. Harrison kept us informed about the legalities of our purchase. His emails and faxes kept our drives on busy freeways minimal to process the endless paperwork associated with buying our home and closing escrow. When other professionals were needed, they provided reliable referrals.  We certainly think highly of them and recommend them to others."  Clara and Rick Craft, March, 2007
 
Always thoroughly professional and well represented our interests 
"In purchasing our new residence in DanaPoint, we were fortunate enough to be represented by Harrison and Christi Long.  They were always thoroughly professional and well represented our interests at all times throughout a purchasing process made more complex by an unsophisticated seller. We would not hesitate to recommend Harrison and Christi to all our friends and associates to aid them in the purchase or sale of property"
Alan & Barbara Jacobson, May, 2006
 
Very professional, keeping in touch and being very patient through almost two year search
"Harrison and Christi Long represented us in the purchase of our first home.  I had dealt with a number of agents before them, but none of them provided the level of service that Harrison and Christi did.  They were very professional, keeping in touch and being very patient throughout my almost 2 year search.  When we finally found the home we wanted to buy, Harrison and Christi were there throughout the entire process, making certain that the appropriate papers were signed and submitted while offering the type of expert advice that comes with their years of experience and education.  In addition, they are fun and pleasant to work with.  I highly recommend them.  They surpassed my expectations."  Stan Bentow, November 2007
 
Advance research helped us find the perfect home 
"Rick and I are so grateful for your help in leasing a home in Irvine. Christi's advance research helped us find the perfect home on a very short timeline. Harrison's advocacy and attention to detail made for s smooth transition. Thank you so much!"  Rick and Barbara Hull, November 2007
