Absolutely deserving of a five-star review! Working with this agent was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She sold my property in Woodbridge this year, seamlessly handling everything from staging, coordinating a handyman, organizing multiple open houses, facilitating small repairs, and managing countless details behind the scenes. I was consistently impressed by her professionalism, clear communication at every step, and her trustworthy approach that made me feel confident throughout the process. Her marketingaEUR"especially her property videosaEUR"was top notch. If youre looking for a top agent in Woodbridge or Irvine in general, shes truly the best: efficient, responsive, and dedicated to her clients success. Highly recommended!

Working with Debbie Sagorin and her team is an exceptional experience, she is your one-stop person for all things related to the ultimate real estate transaction. We recently sold our home with Debbie after just ten days on the market!! Six years ago we used her services to buy the same home. The experience was so good we came back, both times Debbie was utterly professional and personable, she invested her time to understand our needs, whilst keeping a respectful space for us to work out our personal plans during what is considered to be one of the most stressful life events, buying and/or selling our family home. Debbie is extremely knowledgeable about the property market, knows all the important information and gets a A+ for doing her homework on price point, timing of sale, sale procedures, and connecting with the right people to drum up interest in the sale. Debbie is smart and realistic. She does not over promise, rather she over delivers every time. Debbie is beyond trust worth, holding her clients interest at heart throughout. Debbies innately responsive communication style allowed us to work on targeted pieces of the process during the preparation period (decluttering, preparing documentation, sticking to the schedule) as she kept us abreast of progress and kept her eyes on all matters during each stage of the sale. She updated us constantly throughout and collaborated with us extensively. Without a doubt, the final product produced by Debbies team which included the 3d tour, drone and walkthrough video, social media and print marketing, sealed the deal before many viewers even came to a viewing. People were treated to professional catering and drinks during the open house weekend. The attention to detail during the viewings and welcoming of viewers was second to none. Debbie gave a full report after the open house and viewings. We felt part of it all. We have no hesitation in putting Debbie forward for OC realtor of the decade!!!

I had an amazing experience working with Debbie on the sale of my late aunts home. She went out of her way (quite literally!) to help me through this process. She was recommended to me on the word of a family member who had sold their house with her. Both her experience and dedication during this process have exceeded my expectations.

Debbie is the one to call if you are buying or selling in Woodbridge and Irvine generally. No one knows more about the communities, the different floorplans, the market, timing, and the game of buying and selling properties. We were fortunate to buy, sell, and buy again with Debbie. She and her team are super organized and in constant communication with you. She hustles and is strategic in putting you in the very best position. Most importantly, when things go sideways as they often do, she has the knowledge and experience to navigate you through it and provide a steadying hand. When your time and money are on the line, you will truly value her calming guidance. She is a true professional and head-and-shoulders above all other realtors.

I would like to share our home selling experience we had with Debbie Sagorin. We had heard for many years that she was an excellent agent, and in fact thats true. Debbie gave us wonderful advice and guided us through a home remodel in preparation for our listing. The marketing of our home was effective, as she knows our area very well. She took care of the staging, the drone, and the 3-D tour which were all professional quality. Communication was on point as we were always able to get a quick response from her, and we trusted her completely, especially given the fact that we had moved out of the area. I wouldnt hesitate to contact Debbie Sagorin for any real estate needs.

What Documents Do I Need To Buy A House In California?

Carlos, the main documents/information needed for a buyer are: Two years residence and employment history. Current paystubs, current W2s Two years tax returns if self employed or show other types of income (rental income, interest/dividends, etc.). Personal and corporate if applicable. Two months asset statements for all accounts where funds for closing and reserves are coming from Credit will also be run Some lenders, (like the one that helps many of my buyer clients), have alternative documentation programs where tax returns may not be required, e.g., bank statement programs for self employed if income from returns don't substantiate qualifying income.

CA Buyer Rep Agreement? Buyer agrees to pay the commission?

In August last year, a major lawsuit transformed the USA real estate business. Agents must now have a signed agreement from a buyer before they can show that buyer any homes. And as of January 2025, this has also become the law in California. (This doesn't apply if you're just wandering into an open house.) You know what? The law protects you. The contract can't be for more than 90 days, and you don't pay a cent until escrow closes. The only time the agent sees any money is when they help you land a deal that you're happy with and that results in you actually buying the home. An even better option is to have your agent request that the seller cover the cost of your agent's commission. If the seller refuses, you have the right to back out of the deal. However most sellers are willing to negotiate this point, especially in today's market. You can ask for a short agreement if you're not sure. Maybe a week, to test things out and to see if you like what the agent does. If you feel it's a good fit, extend it for up to 90 days.

Can spouses buy property separately?

Yes, you can buy a property in your name alone, even if you're married. But note that the title company will require your spouse to sign a document disclaiming any right, title, or interest in the property. This is to make sure that the property is recognized as your separate property, and nobody else's. Filing taxes jointly doesn't change this requirement.

Can I raffle my house?

I doubt very much that it's legal for regular homeowners to raffle off their houses in California, Jeremiah. I'm guessing that people will think it sounds like gambling and I think a lot of people would probably suspect it's a scam. That said, I've seen some legit charities do it. For example, Special Olympics Southern California runs a house raffle every year, and they're clear that it's to support their cause. If you're thinking about selling, I'd suggest talking to a local Realtor with solid reviews. He/she can walk you through your options and help you get the most out of your home, the right way.

Can the seller of the house make you get approved again?

Lesandra, a seller can ask you to get checked again with their lender, but they can't make you use that lender to get the loan. It's just to give them peace of mind that you can close. If it's only a soft credit check, your score won't be hurt.... JUST MAKE SURE they confirm that in writing. You can always stick with your own lender when it's time to buy.

What is right of first refusal?

A right of first refusal means if the owner ever decides to sell the house, you'd get the first shot at buying it. It doesn't mean you can just buy the home whenever you want, only if the owner puts it up for sale. If that right is written into your lease, and the owner passes away, the kids would still inherit the house. But if they ever decide to sell, they'd have to give you the same chance their parent would have. If they keep it and don't sell, your right of first refusal doesn't come into play. So in a nutshell, the right of first refusal gives you first dibs to buy if the house is sold. It doesn't change who owns the house or who inherits it.

Should I walk around with the appraiser?

You don't need to walk around with the appraiser. Their job is to come up with an independent value for your home, so it's best to give them space. Just make sure your home looks its best and that your Realtor gives them a list of updates and recent sales, (in case the appraiser missed one or two), to help support the value. Usually, the listing agent meets them and answers any questions.
