Testimonials

 
123456789

We chose the Zakhar team because of their knowledge of the tract we lived in for over 25 years. When we first moved in, their signs were everywhere in the neighborhood and seemed to sell quickly. So decades later, when we eventually sold, the Zakhar team was our first choice. We obtained excellent advice on how to price the home, when to reduce the price and how much, what to fix or improve (and not improve) so we could maximize the chance of getting a good offer without spending unnecessary money. As a result our house attracted a good offer within 2 weeks of listing, and we were painlessly guided though the sale process from the date of the offer through close of escrow.

Scott – Lake Forest

We have used Jim Zakhar, Sr., three times now — twice to buy (1994 & 2016) and once to sell (2017). Each time we could see that it was important to Jim to do right by us. He made sure that we found the right house for us — he didn’t let us settle for the right house in the wrong location. He knows the market so well that he knew we could find the right fit. Jim made sure that when we did find the right home that we didn’t overpay in our excitement. When it came time to sell, Jim had “a Rolodex full of” referrals in his phone of good quality, good priced workers/contractors that could step right in and help move along the job of fixing up our old home. His recommendations were spot on! When we put the house for sale it looked the best it had in 22 years — definitely better than when we bought it. The updates went quickly and smoothly. Jim marketed the house well, and we received multiple offers after just one open house! We closed escrow in only 25 days above asking price at $30,000 more than we originally thought. We wholeheartedly recommend Jim Zakhar, Sr., for all of your residential real estate needs!

Gina – Lake Forest

Jim and his team have bought or sold 9 homes for our family over the past 20 years. He is the most professional residential broker I have ever met. I am a commercial real estate broker and deal with other brokers all the time. His expertise in the market and negotiative skills are exceptional. He is extremely honest and is very attentive. You never wonder what is going with showings, offers, etc. Reports regularly. Always felt we got the best price when buying and selling. A really good guy with a great family.

Stan – Coto de Caza

We have personally used them three times, as a buyer and a seller, and referred multiple clients. They carry exceptional knowledge of Southern California, they follow a detailed realtor process, very professional, and impressive listeners. They utilize these combined traits to show us houses that were customized to our needs as a buyer and instructed us in preparation to maximize the presentation of our house for selling.

Roberta – Rancho Santa Margarita

Jim has deep knowledge of South Orange County neighborhoods and properties. He was always professional, punctual, and straight forward. We are new homeowners so the process was a little overwhelming to say the least. With great sensitivity and experience, Jim walked my wife and I through this process. Responses to phone calls, texts, and e-mails were typically in minutes. Bottomline, Jim was on “our” side. Having my family in a house we could afford and love was his primary goal. I imagine walking the fine line between “closing a deal” and looking out for clients can be tough. I NEVER felt Jim saw my wife and I as dollar signs. He’s a family man looking out for other families and I’m grateful for our experience with him and his family!

Steve – Lake Forest

The Zakhar Team has represented our family, and extended family, on transactions over the past twelve years. Regardless of whether the property was in Orange County or San Diego County, they knew the lay of the land and the market profile perfectly.

The listings were each handled smoothly, openly and honestly. Their suggestions were always on-point and helped in the sale of our dwellings, and in each case, the sales price exceeded the initial asking price. The Zakhars are miracle workers! And, the entire transaction from beginning to end never exceeded 90-days even in this bad economy!

They are the only realtors we use or recommend.

Rick – Trabuco Canyon

Here’s the deal: We went with the Zakhars because they know our area better than anyone. When we met with them the first time at our house they presented a very professional and well thought out plan for sale. Lots of collateral material. Further, because the family works as a team, they compliment each other very well. When we received an offer ABOVE my most optimistic asking price, the Zakhars skillfully maneuvered the buyers loan assessor through the assessment process by enlarging the area of comps to buttress the case for qualifying the larger loan amount. It worked. They also made the tedious job of the required paper work palatable. Last but not least, Jim Zakhar ( the patriarch) is a nice guy to work with. And for me, with such a short patience, that was essential. I highly recommend the Zakhar’s!!

Peter – Lake Forest

We lived in our Costa Mesa home for over 25 years so had no recent real estate experience. We built a new home in Irvine but didn’t know who to ask for help selling our old one. A new neighbor recommended Jim Zakhar who we promptly called. The rest is a dream come true because we had high anxiety about the process, our home needed work & we didn’t know who to get it from. Jim has an entire crew that we used to spruce up the yard, remove a tree, replace the carpet, paint the house, inside & out, make plumbing & carpentry repairs & so much more. He helped us list it for the right price (for more than we had anticipated) & within 2 days of listing it we had 2 offers & he helped us pick the right one. Jim made the entire process easy for us including the ending signature process which we could now do securely on line–sweet! My DH is so pleased that he has already given out Jim’s card to several friends at his work. We have total confidence in his great service and we’re so grateful for his excellent help.

Ingrid – Costa Mesa

Have been doing business with the Zakhars for about 10 years. Before that I would call Jim for advice and he always took the time for me even though I was not a client. My family has bought and sold five properties with the Zakhars and each time have received excellent and immediate service. I have also used them to find tenants for me and to find rentals. I have dealt mostly with Jim but now have my children working with his children so they can establish a long professional relationship like I have. I now have come to think of Jim and Cheryl as my friends!

What Types of Liens Can Cloud the Title on My Property?

Real estate transactions aren't always free of unpleasant surprises. Sometimes a home inspection will uncover an unknown issue or the buyer won't be able to secure financing despite being pre-approved. But there's another potentially unexpected issue that can arise after an offer has been accepted: property liens.

Why Should Buyers Sign a Buyer’s Representation Agreement?

Buying a home is a big deal, and buyers are highly advised to have representation when they search for a home and negotiate a deal. Having a real estate agent represent you when making this massive purchase is certainly beneficial for many reasons, but the details of this professional relationship should ideally be outlined in a contract, known as a Buyer's Representation Agreement.
