During that time Tony found exactly the right place I wanted and never got frustrated with me, which is amazing because my wife and I are very demanding in what we want. Tony hung in there until he found exactly what we wanted in exactly the price we were willing to pay. We’re incredibly pleased with his help. He remained professional at all times and went the extra mile where we asked it. Can’t recommend anybody more. If you’re looking for a place in the Newport area or anwhere for that matter, I would highly recommend you seek him out. I know he'll find you what you want and give it to your straight without all the bells and whistles so common in this industry.
Description of Work: Tony Massod worked for me for over two years as my realtor (part of the Marlene Dietrich Real Estate Team) and helped us buy the beach front property we've dreamed of.

From start to finish Tony paid attention to what we were looking for, submitted countless offers on our behalf, and remained patient and loyal each step of the way. We were always impressed with the speed in which he responded and the quality of advice we got from him during our search.
Description of Work: I just purchased two homes using Tony Massod after working with him for the past couple of years. I purchased one home for myself, and one for my parents. I also purchased an investment property with Tony about 3 years ago. I just can't say enough good things about him and his process. His professionalism, patience, and courtesy are truly unbelievable!! I am very hard to please when it comes to real estate (and so is my wife) but Tony hung in there with us month after month and we finally got two amazing deals! The service before, during, and after with Tony and his team is amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a home or investment property in Orange County!!!

As you can see from my full story above, we are completely satisfied with ALL services the we received from Marlene and her team. Please do yourself a big favor and call Marlene and meet her if you are in need of an agent to represent you on any real estate transaction in Orange County!!!
Description of Work: Our family has had the pleasure of working with Marlene Dietrich and her real estate team on two separate occasions. The first time was back in 2003 when she represented us on a purchase of a home in Mission Viejo as we relocated from the east coast. First off, she was exceptionally knowledgable regarding the various local communities as she has been in real estate in the Orange County area for many years. She knew all the tax rates as well as the various information any new buyer to an area would possibly want to know. When we found the house, she was able to negotiate the best price with the seller despite being up against multiple offers and she was basically able to secure our family as the selection of the seller!! Marlene remained in close contact with our family over the next few years and was way more than just a real estate agent to us. She was a trusted friend and advisor on many fronts including networking for business or even recommendations for contractors or service people. She was always the one I called when I needed help finding someone locally for a project!! Years later, in 2008, our family decided to upgrade when the hot real estate market cooled off. It had become a buyers market now and we knew it would present many challenges to sell our home for top dollar, yet negotiate a good price for our new home locally. Without hesitation, we immediately contacted Marlene and her team to represent us on the sale of our existing home as well as to find us our new home. They held frequent open-houses and showings of our home and always advised us how to make our home show as attractive as possible to buyers. Despite a down market, we had significant traffic due to the way the home showed and due to Marlene's knowledge of having the property priced correctly. In just 2 months our home did sell. Marlene found us a home we loved in Coto de Caza that was on a short sale. The banks agent again had multiple families bidding on the new home with very comparable bids, credit ratings, and money down. The selling agent had experience working with Marlene quite successfully in the past, and I know this played a key role in getting our family selected as the bank's choice for the buyer!! A short sale potentially presented many hurdles and could linger for months and months so I was told. Not with Marlene as my agent!!! Her level of professionalism was simply outstanding!! She got the process done in less than 45 days!!!! We owned the beautiful new home in Coto and we owe so much of our happiness to Marlene and her team for making it happen!!! I truly could not possibly recommend anyone more highly than Marlene and her team to anyone that is looking to do a real estate transaction. In fact, I have more than once recommended her to potential clients that were close friends and even family. They all have had the best of experiences with Marlene leading the way. I can be reached at anthshar@cox.net if anyone has ANY questions regarding considering Marlene as their agent. I would be more than happy to expand on our personal expriences with her representing us!!

We chose Prudential Realty, specifically Marlene Dietrich and Tony Massod, for our recent house purchase in Irvine, California. As we were relocating from Scottsdale, Arizona, our first interaction was over the phone. We were impressed from that first phone call. We explained our wish list for our future house and that we would be arriving in town within a few days to search for houses. They listened to our criteria, asked the probing questions to get the complete picture of what we were looking for, and quickly began preparing a list of houses for us to view. Our relocation was happening fast. We only had two days to look at houses, and we were hoping that we could find the right match on that first trip. They picked us up from our hotel on day one promptly at the time discussed and were well prepared with drinks and snacks knowing that we had our six year old son with us. Experiencing Irvine for the first time, Tony and Marlene did an excellent job or driving us around so we could get a feel for the City as well as look at houses. Their familiarity and knowledge of the area showed and was greatly appreciated. We quickly realized, however, that some of our initial, limiting criteria could be altered. Specifically, we did not want to look at condominiums or houses with shared walls. After driving by many of these beautiful houses in Irvine, we changed our minds. Tony and Marlene were well coordinated and adjusted easily to our changes setting up appointments on the go in our already busy day. It was a full day of searching for the right house, but at the end of it, we only had two houses that even warranted a second look and both required too many compromises for us. We decided - with help from Tony and Marlene - that we needed to expand our search on day two if we were going to find the house that fit all (or most) of our needs. That evening, after dropping us off at our hotel, Tony and Marlene happily prepared a new list of houses based on this modified criteria. Again, promptly at the agreed-upon time, they picked us up the following morning and were more then accommodating when our friend (a local) joined us for day two. We revisited the two hopefuls from day 1 and a few more other houses. We were so glad we expanded our search because we found our house that second day. They dropped us off at a local eatery so we could privately discuss what we wanted to do. They picked us up later that afternoon, and we headed to their office to put in our offer. The following day we had to return to Arizona. In our absence, Marlene and Tony helped coordinate everything and maintained constant communication as we moved into escrow and through closing. They were present as our representatives at the initial home inspection and kept us fully aware of all developments. They were a good sounding board for negotiations, and we clearly felt that they were our advocates throughout the entire process. I can't stress how important that was for us, and they exceeded expectations. They still do. To this day (we are approaching a year since the sale), Marlene and Tony still continue to be an excellent resource. They are always willing to answer any questions we might have or clarify any issues. We have even utilized a few of the contractors that they have listed on their Contractor Services page in their website and have yet to be dissappointed. More accurately, we have been quite impressed with the quality of work. We cannot recommend Marlene and Tony enough. They epitomize what good realtors should be. Thank you Marlene Dietrich and Tony Massod.
Description of Work: Marlene Dietrich and Tony Massod were our realtors for our recent relocation from Arizona to Irvine, California. From house hunting to post-purchase follow-up, they have been stellar in their knowledge and assistance and happy to provide both. They truly go above-and-beyond.

My first experience with Marlene was in 2006. I owned a condo in Laguna Niguel that I wanted to sell in order to purchase other investment properties. I interviewed several agents all of whom were highly recommended including Marlene. I chose to work with Marlene because along with being such a nice lady, she was so professional and so proactive! She came to our first meeting already prepared to list and sell my condo.It was obvious that she had done her homework regarding my specific condo, the area where it was located and she and her team were ready to go. Marlene worked relentlessly to market and show my condo until it was sold. One of the many things that made working with Marlene such a pleasure was that I could always reach her. If she didn't pick up her phone immediately I knew she was giving someone else excellent service but she always returned calls within a few minutes. Marlene happened to be out of town for one night while my property was listed and that happened to be the night an offer was received. Marelene handled the whole thing long distance and the offer and counter offer were accepted the same night and escrow opened the next day! WE SOLD FOR MORE THAN WE THOUGHT AND SOLD MUCH FASTER THAN WE THOUGHT! I have no doubt that this was due to Marlene's dedication to her clients, her experience, her hard work and her professionalism. I will continue to recommend Marlene as I have to my son who is curently working with her. I am in the process of preparing to purchase another property and would not consider using anyone but Marlene.
Description of Work: Marlene sold my condo in Laguna Niguel. I needed to do a 1031 exchange. Marlene and her team are very experienced and knowledgable regarding 1031 exchanges and helped make the transaction flawless! Marlene marketed and showed my property constantly until it was sold. She made sure that escrow closed on time and that every detail was in order. I spoke with Marlene last week regarding purchasing another property and look forward to her handling my next transaction!
