MANAGING DIRECTOR

COSTA MESA SELLER

“We've bought and sold 15 homes in our lifetime. We've never had better representation than with Heritage Coast. We've done two transactions with them and both were great experiences. They just take care of absolutely everything. No matter how challenging, they are always positive and just say "Don't worry; we've got this." Should we need to buy or sell any properties in the future, we wouldn't do business with anyone else.”
