Testimonials

The Latteri’s

IT’S NOT ONLY LOCATION-LOCATION-LOCATION….IT’S AGENTS-AGENTS-AGENTS!
I have nothing but praise and appreciation for the team of Jose and Chris! I have been a client for over 12 years and in those years I have been the owner of a small fixer-upper, a large magnificent house, a tiny one-bedroom condo, a brand new humongous house….and most recently in this depressed market, the seller of a distressed home. The size and condition my real estate never mattered, I always felt like I had my own real estate team working on their most important transaction! How many buyers/sellers can say that??! I recently introduced Jose and Chris to my parents who have historically insisted on using native-tongue agents. My parents were hesitant at first but Jose and Chris treated my parents with kid gloves and crossed the cultural barriers with their kindness and respect. My parents’ home is the one on Jose and Chris’ last mailing…it was one of the toughest real estate deals I have encountered in all my life! Jose and Chris held their hands every step of the way and made them feel like family. My parents are now proud owners of a beautiful home in Orange County! Did I mention that their former home was in Murrieta and the gentlemen are based in Mission Viejo? Did I mention how happy they’ve made my parents? My belief and admiration for this team is immeasurable. I wholeheartedly recommend Chris and Jose and, needless to say, I am a client for life….and so are my parents!    Stella Latteri

Scott and Stacy Starr home purchase

“Jose Alkon & Chris Colaw have proved to be an intricate element of finding and securing my family’s first home. Their professionalism, diligence, experience, and creativity in navigating us through this process and the unpredictable market was extraordinary. My husband & I started looking for a home beginning April 2008; we were ready to buy, expecting our first child, and wanting to nest. Due to the chaos of the housing market and weak economy, we hit every obstacle but Jose and Chris continued to support us and provide us with a realistic hope that we would find a home we loved. On February 5, 2009 (close to a year later), escrow closed [finally!]. In retrospect, the last year was worth the wait for our beautiful new home. We will be introducing our now 6 month old son to his new home by next month.
Our overwhelming gratitude is extended to Jose and Chris for their sincerity and their work in connecting people to the right homes and investments. We highly recommend Jose and Chris.”

As an attorney and former real estate broker, I have used the services of Chris Colaw and Jose Alkon on a number of my real estate
purchases over the years. Chris and Jose are, without question, the most ethical, professional and well informed real estate professionals
that I have ever associated with. I have and will, without hesitation, continue to recommend Chris and Jose to various family, friends
and business associates/clients and they has never failed to satisfy their needs.

The Kettles Family

Thank you Chris and Jose for all your hard work and sound advice in the purchase of our home. You were so helpful in guiding us
through the process and your ability to explain all issues involved helped my wife and myself come to an educated and
satisfying decision. We would not hesitate to recommend you in the future to any of our friends and family.

 The best in the business!

 Jose & Chris have been tremendous on all fronts. As you know, we looked for a home for over two years and during that process had worked with several real estate agents.  We thought all of them were good until we met you.
 
You are so far beyond all of the others we worked with — it’s not really fair to compare you.  Your ability, your sensibilities, your passion, and your interest in us was phenomenal.  And while your service is always fast and impeccable, what we appreciated most was your counsel.  Not once have we met an agent like you who provided us such sage counsel on approach, pricing and timing. 
 
As far as we  can tell, you’re much more than real estate agents.  And thanks to you we have a gorgeous home and got it at a great value.
 
We can’t think of a better real estate professional anywhere.  Please tell any of your future clients that they’re more than welcome to contact us because we’re happy to boast about you.
 
We are forever grateful to you,
 
Daniel & Natalie Pitlik

The Goetz Family

Chris Colaw and Jose Alkon are  great real estate professionals. They guided us through the difficult process of selling and buying
numerous homes over the past 20 years. We have had no hesitation in recommending Chris and Jose to our friends and business
associates and, without fail, they have met the challenge and gained a larger pool of satisfied clients. Frankly, I would not
contemplate a real estate transaction without their sound and sage advice and guidance.

The Cronin Family

I have used the services of Chris Colaw and Jose Alkon on three transactions in the past 20 years. They have represented me in the purchase and
the sale of properties in California, Texas and Colorado. I have known Chris for 40 years and I have never once questioned
his professionalism, honesty and availability. He is as consistent in all of his endeavors as the waves crashing on a
California beach. I highly recommend his consultation.

The Bonelli Family

Chris and Jose, you have thoroughly ruined our experience for real estate for the rest of our lives by your blinding competence. The
rampaged ignorance that’s going on in the industry right now is amazing. We are trying to buy a property in Arizonia right
now and the incompetence of various real estate agents in this area is staggering. You spoiled us with your ability to
understand our needs and to guide us in all the elements that surround a real estate purchase. Heather and myself, just
wanted you to know that we tremendously miss your guiding hands.
