"Edie Israel and team are simply the best! From our very first conversation, Edie demonstrated an extraordinary combination of professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. She listened carefully to my needs, provided insightful advice, and was always available to answer questions—even the ones I didn’t know I had! Her negotiation skills are top-notch, ensuring I got the best possible outcome with complete peace of mind. Edie, John and Christina make the entire experience enjoyable. Their positive attitude, patience, and personal touch made me feel supported, not just as a client, but as a valued partner in the process. Highly recommended!"

"Edie, Jim and John were very professional in all of our dealings with them from start up to the sale of our home of 45 years. Thank you Israel Team!"

"Edie Israel and Jim Allen knocked it out of the park! From my first meeting with Jim, I knew I was dealing with a true professional. I have been working my entire life with so called "professionals" that do not meet the personal goals necessary to claim that title. I found that Jim Allen was exceptional in everything regarding the sale of my home. Jim took an emotional decision, when most people want maximum return on their investment, and ameliorated the stress of working through all the things that they need to get the house on the market with maximum return. The best of all is Edie Israel and Jim Allen were in constant communication with me to explain any concerns I had. They were open to every discussion. Should I purchase a new home or apartment they will be my first call, even if to get advice."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Edie Isreal, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Edie is knowledgeable, caring, and extremely attentive. She handled every issue that arose quickly and professionally, which made the entire buying process smooth and stress-free. My husband and I have bought and sold several properties over the years, and this was truly one of our best experiences. We would absolutely use Edie and her team again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property."

"I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Edie Israel Team. Selling my son’s condo felt overwhelming at first, but from the moment we partnered with Edie and her team, we knew we were in the best hands. Their level of professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail was truly A+ service. They provided what I can only describe as full concierge care. Once they stepped in, they handled everything seamlessly, from coordinating cleaning and beautiful staging to strategic marketing, showings, repairs, inspections, and all the way through closing. Every step was managed with precision and care. What impressed us most was how effortless they made the entire process feel for our family. We were kept informed, supported, and confident throughout. It was clear that they genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for us. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, I wholeheartedly recommend the Edie Israel Team. They are absolute professionals and truly exceptional at what they do."

"Knowledgeable, attentive, effective, professional!!! Everything you want and seldom get in a real estate agent. Edie's team will surpass your expectations."

"I was not a Google reviewer. This will likely change after this review. I cannot resist myself from acknowledging top-notch customer service when I see and experience it. My wife and I knew coming in that selling and purchasing houses can be challenging emotionally as well as having to face many unknowns. After five interviews with various realtors in the region, we decided to assign the jobs to Edie and her team. Right from the beginning Edie and Jim were straight forward. They will tell and warn you of every little detail, even things you don’t want to hear. The transparency increased as we moved forward in the process. Edie is professional, has a good reputation in the realtor business and knowledgeable on what she does, but most importantly trustable. She and her team held our hands in the entire process which took about 3 months. At the end we almost handed every decision making to her and her team because we were confident in her expertise and felt she had our backs hundred percent. Not only the fee was reasonable, but the fee structure was also set-up up front in concrete terms with “out-of-the-door” price and no full-of-legalese disclaimers. Yes, what you see is what you get! I want to thank Edie and her team for making the difficult steps of selling/purchasing the houses and moving logistics more bearable. Don’t think twice when you read this review. Your search should stop right here. The Edie Israel Team is on your side. Edie is the person who will no doubt make it happen!"

"We bought a home that Edie represented Sellers for. We absolutely loved the transaction and there were two moments that stood out for us. First, Edie and her husband came by when we were moving in and helped us unpack... (yes it was 1 day pre close but still) that was an amazing gesture... Second, she was incredibly helpful when we were looking for folks to help us unpack. it really helped out as we were under the gun in terms of timing. As a buyer (her representing seller) and since we went dual agency to facilitate a quick close... My wife and i could not be happier. Edie and her staff were responsive and helpful. I'm a seasoned buyer so know what agents can and can't do... with that said we'd definitely recommend... A highly acute agent"

"Review for Team Edie Israel Edie Israel and her team were awesome when it came to selling my dad’s house in Cowan Hills, Orange, CA. After my dad passed, I thought I could just stay in the house for the six months allowed by the reverse mortgage. But Edie saw an opportunity to actually make some money by selling it. She took care of everything—set up an estate sale (which made us some cash!), got the house emptied out, cleaned, painted, and even staged it with furniture. The place looked amazing. Edie guided us through every step, making sure we did things right (even handled the solar panel issues, which were a headache). At the very first open house, we got two offers—both above our asking price! It was a tough process, but we couldn’t have done it without Edie and her team. Big thanks to Edie, Jim Allen, and everyone else who helped out!"

"Edie and her team were extremely efficient and helpful. Working with them was awesome. They are true professionals and made the entire experience seamless. I would highly recommend them for your real estate needs."

"She is the BEST! We have worked with her selling two homes and managing tenants for a rental. She and her team are professionals. Honest and fair, we would use the team again if we ever had a need."

"I cannot say enough about the incredible Edie Isreal team who helped sell my home during one of the most challenging markets in recent years. From start to finish, Edie and Jim demonstrated the highest level of integrity, professionalism, and dedication. What stood out most was their meticulous attention to detail. They knew exactly how to highlight the strengths of my home and presented it in a way that truly elevated its value. Their market knowledge, strategic approach, and creative ideas made all the difference! Beyond their skill, they always communicated clearly, guided me through each step, and earned my trust with their honesty and transparency. Instead of just trying to “get the deal done,” they genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome possible—and it showed. Thanks to their expertise and hard work, my house sold not only successfully in such a tough market. I’m deeply grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

"The Edie Israel Team has been an amazing team from start to finish! From our initial meeting, I could readily see and felt confident that Edie knew exactly what was necessary in order to sell my home immediately. Within days my house was prepared, staged and transformed into a beautiful new home ready for new owners. This highly skilled, friendly, knowledgeable and professional team was constantly providing me with information and progress on the sale. Living locally, the team not only knew the area well and had represented many of my friends as their real estate agents, but it also had full knowledge and expertise to sell my home for the best price. Even though I knew the team had other listings, I felt like mine was the only one being sold by them. Whatever it took, members of the team were at my house taking care of every detail quickly and efficiently. When I left the state for my new home, they continued our correspondence as if I were still there. The process from beginning to end actually was complete in an incredibly short period of time. I feel so blessed to have had Edie, John and Jim and the office member as my real estate team! It was a pleasure! Thank you so very much. The Edie Israel Team is a top local real estate agent and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a buyer's or seller's agent. Anne Sivley"

"We found the Edie Israel Team on a referral. We are so happy we did. They were so on the ball. At our first meeting they were on time and brought an amazing workup on our house. We needed some minor work done and painting. They were able to take care of that for us as we live out of state. They did a time line for all that and stuck with it. All the people they used were top notch. They got done with everything as planned and put lots of great photos of the house on their website. We sold quickly at above our list price. They are very easy to work with and you won't find a better team anywhere."

"My wife and I have bought and sold a number of homes and commercial properties here in CA as well as several other states. As such we’ve seen the whole gambit of Realtors in doing so. We can tell you without hesitation Edie Israel and her group are the best we have ever worked with and are head and shoulders above the rest. With Edie we’ve been both buyer and sellers and have never been disappointed. From their outstanding marketing preparations, both traditional and social, to extraordinary staging prowess to professional on site selling Edie’s team is the best. Not only are they a full service realtor of the highest caliber, they are a wealth of knowledge and resources to assist you in sale preparation, estate sales, relocation assistance and a deep knowledge of Yorba Linda and surrounding communities. We highly recommend Edie Israel and her team without hesitation."

"Edie Israel and Jim Allen are truly outstanding realtors. We were referred to the Edie Israel Team by our previous realtor, who has since retired. We chose them because of their impressive success rate and positive reviews, and they did not disappoint. From the very beginning, Edie and her team presented us with a well-thought-out marketing plan that immediately instilled confidence in us. They kept us fully informed about current market conditions and guided us through each decision with clarity and expertise. Edie and her team were professional, knowledgeable about the market, and communicated with us every step of the way, ensuring we never felt left in the dark. With their combined decades of experience, they listened to our feedback, offered insightful advice, and worked tirelessly to help us get the best price for our house. We highly recommend the Edie Israel Team to anyone searching for realtors who are exceptionally skilled, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with."

"With Edie going to bat for me in a situation with multiple offers, I was able to come out ahead and purchase the home of my dreams. A kind yet assertive soul with extensive knowledge of the Yorba Linda real estate market inside and out, she is exceptionally professional, articulate, and on-the-ball. She has successfully sold multiple condos from the complex that I'll soon be leaving, so I know I'm in great hands with her in that regard too. Edie has consistently made herself available for phone calls and meetings, and has always quickly replied to my e-mails. As a first-time homebuyer, I appreciate the time she has taken to explain each step of the process. I also very much appreciate Edie's confident and calm encouragement during stressful moments. Thank you Edie!"

"The entire group at The Edie Israel Team was incredible to work with for the sale of our Yorba Linda home, and we are so grateful for their knowledge and caring to make a stressful time in our lives smooth and easy. We truly cannot imagine working with anyone else and highly recommend them, without any reservation, for your home selling experience."

"Edie’s team was the best made our transition to by a home smooth and easy I’d recommend Edie to anyone looking to purchase a home."

"Edie, Jim and her team did a wonderful job with the recent purchase of our new house. Her entire team is very efficient and knowledgeable. Day 1, meet and offer. Day 2 morning, negotiations. Day 2 afternoon, in escrow. They are also very responsive. Highly recommend this team."

"A close family friend recommended Jim Allen and it was a great call. My father passed away as we were preparing his home to be a rental property. We were mid project and now of course the plan changed and it needed to be sold as part of estate plan. Jim and his crew could not have been better. There was lots of work remaining to be done to the property and still belongings to clear out. His trade contacts did great work at reasonable prices. The agreed upon investments in some cosmetic improvements (new carpet, some minor landscaping, some paint etc.) surely aided in the quick sale. The open house sessions were wildly successful and we had a buyer only two days later. The very best part about dealing with Jim was communication. He kept me apprised of progress and was so quick to get back to me with any questions. I will share one more detail. When the buyer requested a substantial kickback for repairs identified by the inspection I suggested simply lowering the price. This was a win for us and the buyers as it lowered expenses. There was zero hesitation from Jim, in fact he said “that is a great idea” and helped us convince the seller of the benefits. You can’t go wrong with these guys."

"Edie and her team are not only respected in the community, they will work tirelessly to represent your real estate needs and desires. Top notch advertising/promotion, excellent connections and terrific communication. Highly recommend!"

"Edie's team team is so friendly and professional. Between the 3 of them they are able to expertly cover every aspect that can come up in the sale and purchase of home buying. Jim Allen helped us buy our home in North Tustin that we loved and stayed in for 16 years. He just helped us sell the same home in 3 days. Jim is a total pleasure to work with and goes above and beyond all the while with a genuine smile which is contagious. We appreciate the expertise and knowledge this outfit has. Jim has handled numerous delicate situations with buyers, sellers, and tenants with impressive grace, humor, and professionalism."

"It was a pleasure working with Edie amd her team on purchasing a property. Everyone was very professional, organized and communicative throughout the entire process."

"We are so very grateful for Edie and her team! We had to sell our childhood home after the passing of our father. It was a difficult time for us, and the Isreal Team held our hand throughout the process. They were kind, patient, loving, supportive and professional. The house sold quickly and for well above our asking price. We highly recommend the Isreal Team."

"My husband and myself have done several complex, short-timeframe sales with Edie, John & Jim and each time they make the impossible possible. Outstanding results, deep expertise, integrity, professionalism, kindness and determination define them. They are an such an asset to their buyers, sellers and the community. Cannot recommend another realty team more highly to get the job done and done well. Thank you Edie, John & Jim!!"

"Edie and John came highly recommended to my wife and me for finding our perfect retirement home in the La Habra/Whittier area, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our very first meeting, it was clear that they are true experts in real estate, with incredible insider knowledge of the area, incredibly patient and dedicated, showing us numerous homes, many of which we loved but weren’t quite right. Her keen eye and expertise helped us avoid potential pitfalls and ultimately led us to the one. Edie’s guidance was invaluable—she pointed out details we missed, acted as a fantastic intermediary with other agents, and ensured we made a smart and informed decision. Watching Edie and John in action made it clear that we were working with the best in the business. If you're buying or selling a home in Orange County, trust Edie and her team to have your back, work tirelessly on your behalf, and secure the best deal possible. Thank you, Edie and John, for everything you did for us—we are beyond grateful!"

"When selling our home in Yorba Linda, Edie and her team were both professional and super effective on the ground. Sales are always more complex than you originally imagine and you need a realtor who can block and tackle whatever comes up. That's Edie. Strongly recommend!"

"From the beginning of our introduction in 2023 to closing escrow last month, the Edie Israel team was top notch! Very helpful with references for subcontractors to complete refurbing our family home and marketing it to show quickly and successfully. I was astounded by the amount of effort it took to get the property ready to sell, and the team pulled together to make it easier for me at every turn. Hats off to Emily and Jim for a job very well done. Would highly recommend this team to anyone interested in buying or selling property in Orange County."

"I recently retired and was looking to sell our house and move to our retirement home. Jim Allen and the team at Edie Israel came highly recommended and it proved to be the right choice from the very first meeting. That appointment was very impressive! They met with us with all the preparation that a full blown appraisal would have had. We decided to list with them immediately. They had a full team to help us with contractors for repair, designers for staging, marketing and an office staff to keep all the paperwork and timing on point. We had 4 offers in the first six days and all had bid up from our listing price. This same team kept us in line for closing in 30 days with NO problems. I have already personally sent two more clients their way. Like I told them, don't list with Edie, Jim and John unless you want to move and move fast!"

"From start to finish we couldn't be happier with the job the Edie Israel team team did in selling our home. Not only are they good at what they do, they are prompt, attentive and super nice people. Everyone on the team was wonderful to work with. They went above and beyond in taking care of all the things that make selling your home stressful. They were recommended to us by several people and we have since and will continue to recommend them to everyone!"

"Of all the realtors I contacted in North Orange County, The Edie Israel Team was the most courteous, considerate and conscientious! My husband and I have a complex real estate situation that Edie made simple for us with her diligent efforts. She is an encourager, too. She always answers our questions making sure we understand our options. It is exciting to work with The Edie Israel Team. They know how to turn dreams into reality."

"I lived in my Yorba Linda house over 27 years and it was time to sell. The team of Edie Israel did everything that they promised to do to sell my house quickly with the best possible selling price. They not only delivered their promise but also did it in a thoroughly professional manner. The most efficient and easy experience in selling my house over the past 50 years. Thank you Edie, Jim, and John!"

"Great experience selling our house with the Edie Isreal team. Everything went smoothly and the escrow closed early! Will definitely use them again for our next transaction."

"The expertise and knowledge of Edie Israel and her team is outstanding, I would highly recomend their services."

"We just sold our 3rd house in Yorba Linda with Edie Israel and her team. As always, she is amazing! She has so many connections when making improvements and repairs before a sale including staging and packing/organization. The market is a little crazy right now and she still got us multiple offers at a top price. She always works really hard and has a good feel for closing deals. I can’t say enough!"

"My husband and I were so lucky to work with Jim Allen and the team at Edie Israel Real Estate to find our forever home. When we first began our search, we met with Edie and Jim to review our requirements. From day 1, we knew they are experts in real estate and have so much insider knowledge about Yorba Linda. Jim showed us so many homes, many that we loved, and helped us find “the one.” He often pointed out things that we didn’t know or notice, and was a great intermediary between us and other agents. Seeing the way Jim and Edie work, interact and sell homes showed us that we truly are working with the best. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home in Yorba Linda or Orange County, you can trust Jim, Edie and the entire team to have your back, work hard on your behalf and find you a smart and fair deal. Thank you again Jim, you have set us up for the next great adventure!"

"Edie and her team were definitely a 5-star operation. She assisted with the staging and sale of our family home of 57 years. She found the best buyers possible and we couldn't be happier. We would use them again in a heart beat!"

"I meant the team here in Texas at the Tom Ferry event had dinner and immediately wasn't dream with all of their years of experience If I was buying a home in California this would be the team I would use So proud to have met you looking forward to seeing you again"
