The Reed Team - First Team Real Estate - San Clemente, California

Alex

I highly recommend Jimmy and his team as your realtor team. Jimmy is exceptionally knowledgeable and an effective negotiator, providing sound advice and considering different perspectives. Jimmy goes above and beyond by producing detailed market reports for the property in question, which really helps in determining a fair offer price.

After working with two other realtors, I can confidently say that Jimmy stands out as the best. He has an extensive network of quality contractors and inspectors, which is invaluable, especially if you’re new to the area and in the process of closing on a house.

In our recent transaction, Jimmy skillfully negotiated with the seller to accept our original counter offer and addressed important inspection items prior to closing. On the day of closing, he even developed a practical solution to keep things on track.

In short, if you’re looking for a dedicated and resourceful realtor, I strongly recommend reaching out to Jimmy and his team.

Holy Smokes..

So I sold through the Reed team and I couldn’t be happier.

First. The system the Reed Team has built is top notch and first class. They have people and relationships that you can access to help bring your home onto the market. They are flexible, efficient, and fair.

Second, the Reed Team transparency and support made the sales process work. Lel, Jimmy, and Sara worked together and had my back the whole way. They negotiated with my best interest in mind and nailed it.

Third, things happen that are outside of anyone’s control and it’s truly how a team deals with it that sets them apart. I went through a nightmare due to items that came up in escrow and HOA and the Reed team expertly supported and advised me through it because they have seen it all. Truly, having expertise like that is worth its weight in Gold.

Here’s to you Reed team 🥂

My husband and I just purchased our first home with the help of Nick Ahrens and Lily from The Reed Team. They made this process and simple, straight forward and less stressful for us.

From the beginning stages when we were browsing homes until our purchase, Nick was always available for us, thoughtful and incredibly honest. We searched for many months, seeing more than 20 homes before finding the perfect one. I appreciate Nick's patience and hard work in finding us our home. He spent a great deal of time educating us on the market and helped us make the best decision for our family. Nick structured other elements that allowed us to be competitive and ultimately get our offer accepted without submitting the highest offer.

Nick has an incredible network of real estate professionals that took care of every element of escrow. I felt that we had the very best team of people taking care of us. I can't recommend Nick and The Reed Team enough for anyone looking for a quality, honest and hard-working team.

Nick & the
Reed Team were amazing to work with. He helped us buy the perfect home in just 3
months time! He consistently was in communication with us and always down to
earth, professional, and knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable for being
picky first time homeowners and viewing multiple homes. We absolutely felt like
we were in great hands with Nick. He has great negotiation skills and we just
can't thank him enough for all he did in helping us get into our dream home! We
most definitely recommend working with him. It was truly a pleasure! Thank you
Nick!!

Review for The Reed Team, Remax

From start to finish, working with the Reed Team, particularly Jimmy Reed and Lel Huddleston, was a remarkable experience. Our property in Lake Forest, CA presented us with a difficult situation, but Jimmy and Lel guided us through every step, offering their support and expertise at every turn. The house required extensive work to get it ready for sale, and thanks to their exceptional project management skills and their dedicated team, everything was handled seamlessly.

Their profound knowledge of real estate was evident as they accurately predicted the timeline, the budget needed for renovations, and the final sale price. We are immensely grateful for not just their professionalism but also the personal connection we developed, building a lasting friendship throughout the process.

The Reed Team runs a first-class operation, and anyone looking to buy or sell a home would be fortunate to work with such skilled and caring professionals.

Nick was
incredible. If you want white glove service with a smile and a great attitude,
that's Nick.

My partner and I starting looking for a home in June 2020 and we were not in a
rush. The process was simple, my partner and I would do our homework and pick
out houses we really wanted to see and Nick would get us
showings at those houses ASAP. For the house we ended up buying, we made sure
Nick knew that this was top priority. Not only did we get an offer in, but Nick
helped us negotiate the best possible deal for us and we came away with a great
house for a great price.

Since we were first time home buyers, Nick made sure to walk us through every
step and even answered our many questions to ensure that we were satisfied with
his answer, often staying past hours to make sure we were taken care of. Nick
also worked very well with our lender to make sure that we got what we needed on
time.

If you want the best chance of owning your dream home, work with him! A+ !

Jimmy Reed & His team were absolutely amazing through the process of selling our home from start to finish. He helped us every step of the way & answered all of our questions in a timely manner.
After working with the Reed Team it is apparent that experience is a major factor to successfully selling a home. Jimmy & Lel Huddleston are professionals and understand their business well. Their approach from marketing and listing to selling our home was absolutely SUPERB. Simply listing the property is not enough, there is an opportunity cost that cannot be ignored. We can attest to it!
We are so thankful to have had him as our Realtor & would use him again! In fact, this is our second time! We highly recommend them. Definitely a team you can trust! Thank you all again Reed Team!! You are hands down the BEST out there!!

My wife and I had a fantastic experience with Nick Ahrens and The Reed Team. Nick and the team worked with us for several months before we purchased our first home. At no point did we feel pressured or rushed to make a decision.

Nick and The Reed Team were very professional and accommodating throughout the home viewing and buying process. They were always responsive and considerate of our wants and needs.

Nick and the team did a great job explaining the home buying process, establishing realistic expectations and connecting us to critical services such as mortgage financing, escrow and home inspections. We had great experiences with every group that was recommended.

Overall, they made the process of purchasing our first home a fantastic experience. I highly recommend Nick and The Reed Team!!
