Mitch Berry at the Berry Group is like a magician. We wanted to purchase the house that we were currently renting, but it seemed impossible to get too competitive, and out of our price range, and the landlord was not very accessible. But we got the house. He spoke to the landlord, negotiated down to even less than a max, and it all happened so smoothly. We were first-time home buyers. Didn't know a thing about loans, contingencies, escrow variables, or negotiating. One thing that I found extremely helpful about the Berry Group is their ability to distill lots of competing information into straightforward facts and even advice. He would say: "Offer X-amount if you want to be one among twenty offers; offer Y-amount if you want to be a player; and offer Z-amount if you want to be *the player." Mitch has an especially strong sense of local pricing and other variables. For instance, we bought…

Mitch has an especially strong sense of local pricing and other variables. For instance, we bought the house intending to add rooms to it. Mitch had really helpful advice about this particular neighborhood value-to-size ratio so that we could be confident that adding 2,000 sq. feet would raise the house value proportionately.

Mitch did a great job helping us with finding and closing on a townhouse in Irvine back in 2012, it was a short sale. At that time the market was very hot and most of the sales were investment properties going to cash buyers. Mitch kept my husband and me informed of every step of the short sale process, even though it could be a very stressful process, we were confident that we were in good hands with Mitch. The house closed on time and it was a pleasure working with Mitch Berry. What we really appreciate the most is his quick response to our emails and his willingness to show us as many properties as possible without any complaints until we found the house that we wanted. He wasn't pushy and we felt that he really cared and wanted to help us to find the right property with the right price.
Buying a home can be stressful and challenging, but The Berry Group's get-it-done drive coupled with extensive experience and a perfectly patient approach makes all the difference. Furthermore, Mitch exhibits incomparable professionalism and attention to detail, characteristics that were critical to the negotiation process in the purchase of our home in 2009 (which was a short sale). In addition, his local expertise and market intelligence really facilitated our due diligence process as first-time buyers, leading us to conclude that he got us a screamin' deal. Most importantly, his business acumen is governed by uncompromising, high ethical standards. We trust Mitch and The Berry Group, and *highly* recommend them for your sale or purchase.
