Desi Reyes

"We were very fortunate to find Desi Reyes to sell our house this was our first time selling a house and we had some ideas of what we wanted from a realtor. We had spoken to 3 or 4 realtors before we received a postcard from Desi. During our first conversation with Desi, I could tell that he was very knowledgeable about the market and our neighborhood. When he told me his marketing plan and how to get visibility through a realtor showcase open house during the week and postcards we knew he would be the right realtor for us. He was very familiar with the neighborhood which I believe is a huge plus for potential buyers. In our mind, Desi Reyes went above and beyond the requirements of a realtor for us and got our house sold in a shorter-than-average time on the market and for a great price."

"I am so honored to have worked with Desi Reyes on selling my Huntington Beach property. He was not only knowledgeable and professional but he truly took all of my specific interests to heart. He ensured a smooth and easy transaction and was available to pick up the phone answer a text answer an email within minutes - just to make sure I was comfortable with the process. My property was a small one; however, he treated my business as if it were a multi-million dollar estate. I am ever grateful and will look no further for any future real estate needs! He truly is one in a million."

"Desi sold me my first home in Santa Ana back in 1986 and then sold it again twelve years later when I moved to Riverside. Desi's business practices are second to none he is always accessible returns calls in a timely manner clearly explains the process of the transaction and is not shy to remind me when my memory has lapsed due to all the details involved in a transaction. When I decided a few months ago to sell my house on the riverside I lost contact with Desi and during a visit to my sister's house; where I recommended having Desi represent her in the purchase of her current duplex I saw one of these cards that he routinely mails out and contacted him right away sell my home in Riverside. Desi instantly made an appointment to drive to the riverside meet with me and review all the documents pertaining to the house. Desi is so proactive that he recommended that an interspousal deed be executed by my husband since I was single and the only one on the title when I purchased the house in Riverside; this would expedite the process when the property went into escrow. Furthermore, desi respectfully requested that all the personal photos and religious items be removed and replaced with other artful paintings to make the house look neutral as well as to move some furniture around and de-clutter the home for better showings. From the beginning, desi provided an estimated seller's net sheet as well as recommended completing a termite inspection prior to getting an offer to better help me negotiate offers. Since I'm not computer savvy desi frequently drove to Riverside to explain all the documents to me and my granddaughter and have them personally signed by me. His marketing tools included frequent open houses on Saturdays Sundays and some afternoons during the week passing out flyers in the neighborhood announcing the home and mailing his postcards to his past clients. Every week desi provided an internet report showing how many prospects had viewed the house through the many syndicated websites the FirstTeam promotes. Desi's efforts generated many showings and three offers. Once in escrow desi made the process feel smooth due to his frequent updates escrow closed way sooner than expected and I was able to spend Christmas and New Year's Day with my family in Georgia! I'm very grateful to have met Desi almost 35 years ago and represented me three times in the process of buying and selling real estate desi's experience makes such a stressful process a lighthearted pleasure!" Desi please keep in touch!"

"My husband and I have worked with Desi several times over the past 23 years. We keep coming back to Desi because of his knowledge of the industry and his professionalism. Whether helping us sell a house buy a house or find potential tenants for a rental desi continues to provide quality service."

"Desi gets it done! I am entirely pleased with the attention that Desi pays to each client. He is a consummate professional who knows how to buy and sell properties quickly at the right price. Desi has assisted us in 5 transactions and each time we have been pleased with the process and the outcomes. Thanks, Desi!"

"My husband and I first met Desi about a year and a half ago through our daughter and her husband. Together, we had discussed the possibility of living together so they could take care of us in our "golden years" (we're already there!). Our plan was to find a home suitable for two families living together with separate quarters but common living areas (living room, kitchen, and dining room). That idea meant we had to sell our homes (two) and buy one. It was a stretch for a seller and the real estate agents to deal with two contingencies on the buyers' part. We looked and looked, discussed the lack of the type of home we were looking for, and with the help of Desi Reyes, our realtor, we came to the conclusion that our plan was not ideal. So we backed off, and our daughter and her husband continued to look for themselves. I was feeling nostalgic after a while; I didn't want to sell my home. I loved it. In 2017, we had some major construction to be done, and the house was a mess with boxes everywhere, with things that had to be moved for the construction, and not to mention the dust that goes with any kind of construction. It went on for months and months. I was tired of having to maintain the home with a limited income. So we told our daughter our moving in with them would be sooner than they thought. After two years of looking for a home, our daughter and her husband purchased a house in our city and large enough for the two of us to share with them. They gladly reiterated their offer to let us live with them. Just before the construction was completed, our daughter told us to call Desi to discuss listing our home. He set up an appointment immediately and gave us in detail what we'd expect in the process of selling. Desi was so thorough and didn't mind repeating/explaining when we needed to better understand what he was saying. We listed the house immediately because Desi felt we would sell quickly—nice neighborhood, a park within walking distance, schools nearby, easy shopping, and our house was very appealing. Desi set up open houses that weekend and every weekend thereafter. At 30 days of listing, he advised that if we didn't have any offers, we needed to lower the price, though we didn't want to lower it at all. No offers came, and then on the open house of the 30th day and just before closing, Desi received two offers. We immediately got together to discuss our options, made a decision, and accepted one. It went into escrow, and 30 days later we closed escrow. What a learning experience and a fun "ride"—full of excitement and unsettling nerves. Desi Reyes has over 30 years of real estate experience, and it showed! His expertise shines with every issue that came before us. We were in good hands. His demeanor is calming, and he always assured us everything was going as scheduled. Desi was always thinking ahead and made sure we were informed. He communicated with the escrow officer continually to be sure our questions were answered and satisfactory. Desi is a good listener and remembers everything in detail. He's fun to be around, and we always look forward to our appointments with him. Thank you, Desi! You are the best! With gratitude, The Fukudas."

"I have worked with Desi on several properties. He is very knowledgeable and always available with answers. I would happily recommend him to any potential buyers."

"Desi made this process so smooth and uncomplicated. He guided us through every step and if we had any questions he would explain it thoroughly. All of his hard work gave us the results we wanted. He was there from the beginning to the end. We would highly recommend Desi to our friends and family. Thank you kindly."

"Great working with Desi! Made the process as first-time homebuyers as smooth as he could. Took the time to show us a variety of places in our interest and budget. Would highly recommend Desi."

"My wife and I were first-time home buyers and were extremely nervous about purchasing a new home. Desi patiently answered every question and walked us through every step as we made our first offer. Because we made an offer on a short sale the process was not as straightforward as a traditional purchase. The circumstances surrounding our short sale purchase were particularly laden with pitfalls and we truly believe if it were not for Desi's expertise in handling short sales and his tireless efforts in ensuring the sale went through we would not have landed our dream home. Desi is an extremely hard worker and he is always on top of every detail. He is an active presence in the area and I still reach out to Desi anytime I have a question regarding our home or neighborhood and he is always immediately there for us. We recommend Desi highly. Sincerely Robert and Esther."

"Desi and the team he had working on selling my place did a great job!!!!! He always informed us on how the sale was going and anything the bank needed he got done right away. If I have somebody looking to buy or sell their home I will recommend him 100% right away. Thanks for all the help."

"Desi has helped us now with the purchase of our home and twice helped with renting out another property. We will most definitely ask for his help again. He is knowledgeable attentive and insightful. He is easy to talk to and does not apply any pressure. Don't hesitate to go with Desi."

"Desi was a professional throughout the entire process. My parent's home was a trust sale. After explaining how everything worked he walked me through each step as the house went on the market. He held an open house and we received 7 offers on the first day. He presented all offers; I made a decision and the escrow process went very smoothly. We closed in 30 days. I am very pleased with the whole experience."

"Desi Reyes is the best! He sold our house in 2 days. He kept us apprised every step of the way. His experience in the industry was invaluable to everyone involved in the process. Thanks, Desi!"

"Once again desi served my real estate needs excellently. He is very hard-working punctual thorough and very personable. I would recommend Desi for any of your real estate needs."

"We have worked with Desi for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. He is a conscientious professional who knows the business and provides great feedback. Desi never disappoints."

"I highly recommend Desi! He is extremely knowledgeable and patient and went above and beyond for us. Thank you desi for your assistance with selling our home!"

"I just sold a house with Desi. I bought the house in 1977 for $80500 and sold it this year for $825000. I met Desi in about 1979 when he was working his "farm." He gave me some kind of real estate giveaway like a calendar. At the time he had lots of hair. Desi came around regularly to keep in touch. When I moved to Hawaii in 2010 he tried to sell my house for $525000. It didn't sell. He advised me about operating it as a rental and supported me for the next 13 years by reassuring my different tenants when I tried to communicate with them in the final sale he advised and supported me throughout the sales process. He priced the house and it functionally sold in about four days. In working with Desi I always felt I was being taken care of like a friend would take care of me. His trustworthiness is a constant in his work. He grew up a good Cuban boy and I don't think that will ever change."

"This was my first experience with selling a house and desi walked me through every step and made it a very smooth process!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Desi. He is professional experienced and caring. He goes above and beyond to help you. We listed our house for lease with Desi. He is a pro at vetting prospects and finding qualified tenants. He is a wealth of information after being in the business for over 30 years. I can't recommend Desi enough for any real estate needs."

"Desi is very professional and knows the real estate business. He is a wealth of knowledge! It was a pleasure working with him. I highly recommend him!"

"We have known and worked with Desi for over 20 years. He has handled several sales purchases and rentals for us. We return to Desi because he is a knowledgeable friendly professional and sincerely works for his clients' best interests."

"Desi is a true professional and cares about his clients. Even with the various challenges he/we faced with the sale of income properties he never gave up and was always looking out for our best interest."

"Desi is an incredibly capable agent who makes sure every aspect of a real estate transaction is handled correctly. During the sale of my house, he gave me advice that saved me thousands of dollars and ensured the highest price. My home was sold in 2 weeks with multiple offers over the asking price. When I purchased a new home he offered insights that helped me make the most informed decisions. Desi is a consummate professional who minimizes risk and maximizes profit and savings. He's so much better more communicative and thoughtful than the other agents I've worked with, there's simply no comparison."

"My husband and I have been dreaming of buying a home for years now. With our twin sons getting closer to school age we knew the time to buy was now so that we could get them settled before starting preschool. Desi came highly recommended by family members and we couldn't be more elated with his service. He worked hard and many hours to show us countless properties paying extra attention to details to make sure they would fit our needs. Not only that but Desi's expertise as a relator was invaluable in walking us through the home buying process. He consistently looked into things that we never would have known to check for saving us a lot of time money and heartbreak in our home buying journey. Desi made himself available to us at all hours for any questions or phone calls needed and often worked around our crazy schedule with 3 year old twins. Not only did he keep consistent open communication with us but often followed up with the sellers agent our loan lender and others to make sure things got done in a timely manner. Working with Desi felt more like working with a close friend who was looking out for us during this whole process. His knowledge personality and work ethic make him one of a kind and we will sing his praises and recommend him to any and everyone looking for a relator. Thank you, Desi!"

"I just had the pleasure of working with Desi in selling my condo last month. I was a little unsure of the process and what the result would be. He patiently walked me through everything and my place sold for more than I ever expected. It was a pleasure working with him. He made everything seem so simple and easy. I highly recommend him as your agent."

"The service provided by Desi Reyes was amazing! His attention to detail covered everything one could think of and more. His unbelievable speed to respond to any and all questions we may had was extraordinary. In past years we have conducted some business with real estate agents in both Florida and Georgia. However, none could compare to the magnificent service we received from Mr. Reyes."

"Desi helped me purchase my condo in 2019 and it was remarkably easy and rewarding. When the time came to sell the same condo I of course thought of Desi. He really shines as the selling agent. Everyone involved buyers sellers mortgage brokers was informed relaxed and pleased with the result."

"Working with Desi on the sale of my condo was a great experience for me as a first-time home seller. He was extremely knowledgeable about the entire process and about my neighborhood concerning the market. Desi went above and beyond for me by working on holidays. He was professional with a personal touch. By that I mean he took a great deal of his time to get to know me and my family and to listen to my concerns and questions. I highly recommend Desi as he is a seasoned veteran in this business who also has his finger on the pulse of new real estate trends. I would work with Desi again as he is honest trustworthy hardworking diligent and extremely personable."

"Desi is an incredible agent. His attention to detail responsiveness and knowledge of neighborhoods is unmatched. Desi is well respected and connected in the Orange County real estate market specializing in the city of Santa Ana. At nearly every open house we attended, he impressively knew each listing agent. Not only did he know agents but he knew neighbors of listed homes from previously represented clients. Desi is friendly honest timely supportive tenacious and professional in everything he does. I would recommend him to anyone looking for their forever home he'll take good care of you and get the job done quickly."
