ReviewI highly recommend Christina Ford, who sold my home in just 38 days in less-than-ideal market conditions in the City of Orange. She completely exceeded my expectations and was able to secure a full-priced offer, with zero concessions made to the buyer, incredible for a house built in the 1950s. In addition, she charges a remarkably low sales commission. Shes a top-notch realtor! The marketing itself was excellent. The photographers work featured a nice virtual walkthrough, which even included a floor plan, amazing since no floor plan ever existed for the house. Because Christina is a aEURoeZillow ShowcaseaEUR? realtor, her listings are given a prioritized placement on Zillow, which surely made a difference in my home getting sold so quickly, and at top price. Communication was perfect. She always replied to my text messages within minutes, and kept me fully apprised of everything that was happening. I know of many Realtors who are content selling a few houses a year, but Christina is a real worker. I know that her 40 years of experience and more than 1,000 sales made all the difference, because when hurdles arose, she was able to quickly resolve all of them and keep the process moving forward. Her longevity and job knowledge are a true testament to her hard work and tenacity. As a final thought, two other realtors we considered suggested listing the home for hundreds of thousands less. Christina was confident she could get us far more. And she did! You can't go wrong hiring her.

Review We had an exceptional experience working with Christina Ford with Ford Realty from start to finish. Her knowledge of the market was impressive, and she guided us through every step with confidence and clarity. What truly stood out was how much she went above and beyondaEUR"always available to answer questions, proactively handling details, and making sure nothing fell through the cracks. The entire process felt smooth and efficient thanks to her expertise and dedication. Buying a home can be stressful, but she made it feel straightforward and even enjoyable. Were incredibly grateful for her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely committed agent. Thanks Christina! - Rick & Sondra Robins

Review Christina is an ELITE, top-flight agent, the BEST realtor I ever worked with in California, and believe you me, I have worked with many. We were looking for a quality, highly-experienced, highly-rated agent to sell our home in the OC, and when I saw her profile, it was a no-brainer to select her to represent us. I have actually seen her flyers before, she has many many years of experience in the area, and she did not disappoint. If you do reach out to her, make sure you are ready to go, because she will be ON it from the get go. She met with my wife and myself at our property, and from that point on, we had no worries or stress. Christina handled everything from that point on. She listed the property quickly, created a great listing description of the house, and her photographer/video guy took superb pics as well as a very professional, and impressive video presentation. Christina was in constant communication with me, advising and updating me on buyer feedback pertaining to the house. Her agency also has a lot of local area connections as well, so in our case at least, she found a buyer before we even listed the house! I can't say that will happen all the time, but we were fortunate that happened for us, so the biggest challenge we had was moving our furniture and belongings out quickly, because it was a very short escrow. I have moved out of the area, but if I ever move back, or purchase an investment property in the OC, I know who I will be reaching out to, and I highly recommend that you do the same! Thanks again Christina! Appreciate you.

Review I own several investment properties in Orange County and have been fortunate to have Christina has assisted me in multiple ways. She has been quick to provide me with current information regarding recent sales and rental rates. She has helped me with the leasing of my property and I will be pleased to continue working with her in the future. Very thorough and professional to work with.

Review Christina did an outstanding job, not only selling my condo, but also listing and selling the condo I wanted to purchase. She did this all in less than two months. When I decided to move from a second floor condo to a first floor condo, I thought of Christina. I lived in the same unit for 35 years, and from the beginning, I received note pads from Christina and knew that she was the realtor I wanted to work with. She is efficient and gets the job done. She was was an excellent resource for staging our home to get the best return. c

Review Working with Christina was an absolutely fantastic experience. She has years of knowledge and experience, and is extremely professional. I could not have chosen a better match for my home selling needs. My condo was in dire need of updating everything from floors, paint, electrical, appliances, lighting, fixtures, and plumbing. Christina had all the resources to help me with this process and had the condo on the market ready to show within 2 weeks. After 1 open house, we had 3 offers and closed closed the deal the next day. I highly recommend Christina.

Review Christine Is amazing. I had a previous Property manager who I liked. She was sweet. but it was tough with her. A nice lady but very disorganized. I paid her for 7 months and couldnt get bids for any work that needed to be done in my condo. 7 months later.A waste of my money. We finally had to split. I called Christine Ford because I knew she was the best in Rancho. She totally stepped up. Wonderful vendors. Wonderful Painters.wonderful Plumber. Electrians. Gardeners. All in time. No nonsense. No canceling. Just great workers. . Handy men. John was the best ever for light stuff. All fantastic. All worked very hard. Did a complete remodel in 3 weeks. Christine was always one step ahead of me. I cant thank her enough. She got me fantastic applicants with great credit scores and able and willing to good fair rent and agree to take care of my condo. Unlike my last renter. Christine was wonderful . Cant say enough good things about her. Just a wonderful experience.

Review We could not be happier with our experience with Christina. She is an exceptional professional, extremely hard working, and wonderful to work with. Her expertise of the RSM area and market knowledge resulted in a quick sale. We received multiple offers over asking price and sold in 4 days. She created an eye catching listing with professional photography, drone videos and 3D matterport images that brought immediate and plentiful interest in our home. Christina continued to work diligently helping us through the escrow process, connecting us with great contractors, and kept us informed every step of the way. Christina is an amazing realtor and we highly recommend her services!

Review Christina is a super knowledgeable and hard worker. She rolled her sleeves right up and helped us get the house ready to sell. Our house was a bit trickier since we had a tenant. She helped us to navigate those waters. Christina's many years in real estate helped her to understand the market was changing quickly and we needed to sell as soon as possible. Many people at the time didn't realize that and still thought it was an easy market for the seller. I highly recommend Christina for her knowledge and work ethic.

Review If you need to sell your home, there is only one choice your should make, go with Christina Ford. She came highly recommended for her track record and her expertise of the RSM marketplace. My wife and I were able to sell our home at a record sale price for our community during an extremely turbulent market thanks to Christina. Her meticulous attention to detail, rapid response, and professional photography, Matterport video, and brochures are second to none. We highly recommend Christina for the sale of your home.

From the start, Christina worked diligently and HUSTLED in getting our property sold (over ask AND record sale for our community). She provided professional pictures and videos that set our listing apart from all of the others. Her amazing attention to detail also made the purchasing process extremely pleasant. Overall, Christina is THE professional realtor in our area, and we would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone interested in selling our buying in the RSM area.

Review We want to thank you, Christina, for your hard work and professionalism in representing us in the sale of our home. From the moment of listing Christina was putting her years of expertise to work in developing a plan to sell our home at the best possible price, and as quickly as possible. Christina gave us a very generous listing offer, and for that she still provided the highest level and quality and service. You will never find a Realtor that will respond more quickly and pleasantly than Christina. We NEVER had to hunt her down! Her promotion of our home was above and beyond! She provided MANY high quality photos and video of our home, and aerial video of our community. Christina delivered a closed escrow that yielded a maximum sale price, with pure professionalism!

Review Our experience with Christina Ford has been beyond excellent. She went way above and beyond our expectations and our previous real estate experiences. The photos she had done were brilliant. Those photos, along with Christinas knowledge and expertise, sold our home quickly and well above the selling price of the most recent sale of our model in our neighborhood. We highly recommend Christina Ford and have done so to our closest friends and family.

Review I began to contemplate selling my home about a year ago. Since then I had noticed several realty signs posted in the neighborhood and took note that "Christina Ford" realty seemed to have the fastest "sold" responses. Christina was immediately responsive to my request to meet and came well prepared with a brochure detailing specific information about my home including market analysis and value. It also outlined the listing and escrow process and turned out to be a great reference. Christina immediately arranged to have my place professionally photographed both inside and out. This included a very unique interactive 3D video and drone photos of the property and the surrounding areas of interest. Within a few days my home was prepped and ready to show. Offers came in from day one and I accepted an offer to sell seven days later. Christina's hustle, attention to detail, and knowledge of the market got my place sold quickly and for top dollar. I will not hesitate to recommend Christina Ford Realty to family, friends and neighbors who need a reliable and trustworthy agent to count on.

Review Christina is a no-nonsense realtor who gets results. Christina helped us sell our one bedroom condo in record time and purchase a bigger and better three bedroom home in South Orange County for our growing family. We appreciated the honesty and her connections with local professionals in the industry needed to sell our condo for top dollar and quickly. Christina was a tough negotiator - exactly what you want when dealing with real estate. Christina was extremely responsive to texts, phone calls, and emails and went the extra mile for us on numerous occasions, showing how much she cared for us and wanted the best results. We are so happy with our home and thankful for her hard work.

Review We chose Christina as our agent because she is incredibly knowledgeable about our area. Our home was on the market for only 4 days before we accepted an offer. We attribute this success to the wonderful decision Christina made at getting high quality, professional photography and matterport 3D virtual tour. She's continually helped us throughout the entire process and made it as easy as possible. We would definitely work with her again.

Review When my wife and I needed to sell our house, there was only one choice to help us. Christina came highly recommended, and rightfully so. From the first meeting to the end of the process, she was on top of every little detail. Her staging of the interior and exterior of the home shone through in the photography, Matterport video, and the brochures that were produced for our open house. Amazing work... And we will not consider any other agent in the Orange County area.

Review My wife an I interviewed 2 prospective agents in person and I talked to one additional agent on the phone, I liked that Christina was undaunted by the possible downturn on the sales side. She said that she could sell our house for $20 K more than others in this area and $35 K more than the other agent we talked to. We ended up selling for 10 K less than the original estimate but better than both prices I mentioned before. Christina helped us get the house ready by scheduling a garage sale, recommending new flooring and arranging furniture for showings, once the house went into contingency, she referred us to contractors who fixed the minor (and not so minor) issues we needed repaired, she even came over and helped plant flowers in our front yard to help the curb appeal. The list of other things she did for us would take pages to write down but If I were going to sell another house there is no one that I would rather entrust my life largest investment to.

She handled everything for me, the termite inspection and repairs, dealing with the other agent, I never even had to go to the house, I signed all of the paperwork electronically, It was a real smooth transaction. She also helped me purchase a new town home which is perfect for me.

Review I worked with Christina to lease my condo in Rancho Santa Margarita. After the condo was listed we had the first showing within 2 days. Christina is very professional and responsive. When I reached out to her, I would ALWAYS hear back within the hour! She kept me informed along the way and eventually found a quality renter who pays their rent on time. In the future if their is a issue the renter contacts Christina directly, so I do not deal directly with the tenant. I would highly recommend Christina!

Review We needed to sell our condo quickly and are so lucky we found Christina. She came by our house the same day we called her and we had two full price offers a week later (just two days after the house was listed). Christina is professional, hardworking and always available. Her guidance and knowledge were invaluable throughout the selling process. We have already recommended Christina to our neighbors and would be happy to work with her again.

Review We used Christina to sell our condo and it was the worst experience I could have ever imagined. As soon as we signed her 6 month contract the nightmare began. I felt that she was rude to us on many occasions and expected us to do all of the work. She argued with me when I didn't want to take a lowball offer on our condo and yelled at me to the point that I had to hang up on her. WE sold our condo quickly and at a high price because WE refused to give in to lesser offers and showed our condo ourselves. She had two open houses and then had another realtor sit in for her twice. We rented a condo from her client because we have a pit bull, and it is nearly impossible to find a rental that would allow our dog. However, that was a huge disappointment as well because it was filthy and the appliances were disgusting. We had no choice but to move in and purchase our own washer and dryer because we had no other option in such a short time frame. AND, we negotiated our own lease termination and showed the condo ourselves, almost on a daily basis, to find a suitable replacement tenant for the landlord. Cutting her commission check was painful and, in my opinion, she didn't deserve a dime. I would save yourself the headache and hire someone who is worth your hard earned money or sell your home yourself. She may have a low commission rate, but you definitely get what you pay for.
