ZillowVERIFIED We used John Yasko to find our first family home. We are new parents to twin boys and were looking for the perfect place to begin this new chapter in our lives. He is extremely professional, insightful, and personable. He was always available to answer our questions every step of the way and as new home buyers we had a ton. He truly makes the home buying process a cinch and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent. I personally will use continue to use John for all future home purchases/sales.

ZillowVERIFIED It was a pleasure working with John through the entire experience. At all times he was professional and went the extra mile to help us sell our home. In preparing our home for sale he came in with very simple low cost ideas that had major impact on the presentation which ultimately provided us an opportunity to increase the asking price of our house. At all times John was there for us.

ZillowVERIFIED I used John Yasko to help me find a new home for my family after my husband became wheelchair bound. We had a short period of time to find a wheelchair friendly home that would meet the needs of a family of five. Given my husband's medical condition he was not capable of helping me with this stressful process. John stepped in and guided me through the search for a new home and was extremely supportive and kind to my family. He found us the perfect home and we were able to move directly into our new home after the close of our prior family home. John made it all work without a hiccup. He was always there to answer any questions or concerns that I had. I consider John a friend and my go to real estate professional!

ZillowVERIFIED John is an incredible agent. He is my go to realtor in Orange County. I have known John for several years and he has become not just an agent, but a friend. I have had several successful real estate transactions with John. The most recent, John found me a great home to lease so I could be in Orange County for the birth of my grandson.

ZillowVERIFIED John is professional and warm, knowledgeable, responsive and thorough. He has good instincts and great insight and offers good suggestions without being pushy. He suggested areas we hadn't considered, and quickly honed in on properties and homes that matched our style and preference. The magic is in his relationships. He has strong relationships with builders/ developers and access to show properties not yet on the market. He connected us with well respected professionals for inspections and repairs. His negotiations were strong and respectful and his thoroughness in the sales and purchase process made us feel confident that nothing was missed. His respect for the COVID-19 crisis and his care when showing our home (requiring all safety protocols and wiping down all surfaces that may have been touched) were appreciated. We sold our home and purchased our new home in the middle of the craziest year in recent memory and were pleased both with the negotiations and process.

ZillowVERIFIED We met John when my mom passed away and we decided to sell her home. John answered all of our questions, helped prepare for the showings, either he or another agent were at the house when potential buyers arrived. Needless to say, the home sold in less than 2 weeks and the closing went smoothly. Even after the sale John was happy to assist and answer all of our questions. Thank you John. You made a sad situation easier on myself and my family.

ZillowVERIFIED John was amazing to work with when selling my home. He knew the area extremely well and did an excellent job marketing my home with focus on the best selling points. He made every effort to personally be at all open houses and showings. He was attentive, professional and refreshingly honest. I cannot imagine a more positive experience in a traditionally difficult process. I would highly recommend John without hesitation!

ZillowVERIFIED John Yasko has listed and sold 4 homes for me and he did not disappoint one time. I give John and his team 5 stars! He communicates every step of the way and I trusted his counsel throughout the negotiation process. If you are making a decision to buy or sell your home, John should be your realtor of choice.

Review for Member: John Yasko
ZillowVERIFIED A friend of ours referred us to John when buying our first house back in 2013. He was very knowledgeable and very willing to walk us step by step through the process, as everything was unfamiliar to us. Seven years later when it was time to sell our home, we knew John was the one we wanted involved. Not only is John great at what he does from a business perspective, he is also a great friend that we have stayed in touch with over the years. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

ZillowVERIFIED Our experience with John Yasko was 100% positive, even during a very challenging time for home purchases and sales - the COVID pandemic. John completed the sale of our previous home and helped us locate our new home. He was knowledgeable and patient. He also kept our safety in mind while showing our home, or when touring potential new homes with us. John was definitely five out of five stars in every category. We would use him again for any real estate needs without any hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIED John Yasko did an excellent job for me in selling my home in Costa Mesa, California in 2017. He has developed a deep understanding of the past transactions in the neighborhood, and applied that understanding to the way that my house was positioned and staged for sale. He carefully managed the interactions with potential buyers and their agents, and quickly achieved a terrific result. I have had no regrets in selecting John Yasko to be the listing agent for my house.

ZillowVERIFIED John was great, quick was able to find us exactly what we needed and in a super timely fashion. He was also able to obtain the condo before it even went on the market. He is honest and hard worker. I would recommend him to anyone!

ZillowVERIFIED John is a pleasure to work with. He is super knowledgeable about Orange County real estate. I specifically worked with John to buy a home in Newport Beach. He was a good listener and not at all pushy. He handled the negotiation well and skillfully walked us through all the details of the sale. I would highly recommend John to buy or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIED John is thorough and prepared. He is well known in the area we sold our house and is also well liked by other realtors which was crucial when he represented us purchasing our house in a bidding war.

Review for Member: John Yasko
ZillowVERIFIED john Yasko is an area specialist in Costa Mesa at Providence Park. He knew we wanted to sell our condo and he found a buyer for us without even officially having to put our condo on the market. The best part was we got well above asking price. John is not only knowledgeable about real estate in Costa Mesa, but all over Orange County. After selling our condo, we went on to buy a home in North Tustin and John negotiated our deal as the seller got multiple offers. Ours wasn't the highest, but John's expertise and we'll established relationships in the industry helped us secure our dream home. I give the highest recommendation to John Yasko.

ZillowVERIFIED I lived in Costa Mesa for 10 years and met John at the many open houses of the listings he had in our neighborhood. Realizing that we would be moving on at some future date, my husband and I kept our eyes and ears open for the right agent to represent us in the eventual sale of our home there. We met many agents during our quest, but none of them met our high standards with regard to real estate knowledge, trustworthiness, personable manner, and professionalism. We knew we would have John handle the sale of our home when the time came. That time was August 2015. John was very knowledgeable about our community and the homes there. When we made the call, he was very responsive and shared his wealth of knowledge to present our home in the best light and at the price it deserved. He handled all the details expeditiously, accurately, honestly...need I say more? While many homes sat on the market during that time, we were ecstatic when John was able to sell ours in less than a week! And for the price we wanted! As we had to move on quickly to our next home (out of state, or we would have had John help us with the purchase, too), he handled so many details to lighten our burden. John is a busy realtor, but he always had time for us and he always made us feel special and took a personal interest in us...we weren't just another "sale" or "transaction" for him. I cannot recommend John more highly.

ZillowVERIFIED In late 2012 we moved our family to the East Costa Mesa Area. We knew nothing about the area and settled into a comfortable condo. Though comfortable we quickly realized the condo life would not meet the needs of our two growing children. We met John at an Open House he was holding. After sharing our housing needs, he quietly went to work. That's right no pressuring phone calls, just timely and accurate responses to our inquiries and what we liked most...he provided a stream of properties that fit our needs. Once we found the "Right Home" he knew it! He managed the process from beginning to end. John continues to provide support when ever asked. Can't thank him enough for his patience , knowledge, and continued support!

ZillowVERIFIED John Yasko has been an awesome relator for our family. When we put our first property on the market he had buyers day 1! When we thought we didn't have a chance at getting a home we really loved, he was aggressive and made it happen sooner than we expected. Thank you for all you have done for our family John. We will continue to use John for all of our real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Two weeks is all it took for John Yasko to generate multiple offers and sell our home for above asking price! We have hired The Tim Smith Group to list and sell our home, purchase a new home and lease our rental property. The teams expert market knowledge and professionalism, coupled with their high energy and ambitious drive contributed to the success of each transaction. John Yasko is an exceptional real estate agent. We would recommend John to anyone in the Dover Shores area thinking about buying or selling!

ZillowVERIFIED John and his team are the best in Orange County. John helped me buy and sell two different homes in Providence Park in Costa Mesa, and the way they present the properties and the way they advertise is very hard to improve. The last home I sold took less than two weeks to go into escrow and a very short time to close. The whole team is super responsive and attentive to the needs of everybody involved in the transaction. I would very highly recommend John to anybody trying to buy or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIED I have previously purchased and sold a home through John Yasko and could not have been more satisfied with the overall process and results. I am admittedly a very selective and thorough consumer (maybe better described as a conservative and possibly even difficult client), and yet John could not have been a more patient and accommodating agent. John made us comfortable throughout the process and put my numerous worries and reservations at ease. the home he put us in could not have been a better fit. Now that our family has grown by two more, it is time to once again hit the market and find a new home. we could not imagine going through this process with anyone other than our good friend John Yasko. I have recommended him to numerous satisfied people in the past and continue to without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIED John Yasko is extremely professional. He is a wealth of knowledge from the beginning to the end. The process was truly seamless. John is someone who really has a natural knack for accessing what his clients are looking for in a house; then finding that perfect "Home Sweet Home!" We couldn't be happier in our new neighborhood! Thank you for all of your expert help and guidance!

Review for Member: John Yasko
ZillowVERIFIED John did a fantastic job helping us sell our house in Eastside Costa Mesa. The house is very cute and in good condition, but is small and 100 years old aEUR" so it was no simple matter to market and sell it. John saw it for what it is (both strengths and weaknesses), helped us to identify our target buyer, and then did everything possible to reach and appeal to that buyer. He advised us on repairs and the garden to maximize the houses curb appeal, recommended a great stager and a photographer that really made the house aEURoepopaEUR? on the online listing and on and on. He is very easy to work with and always accessible, and is tireless in seeking opportunities to find buyers for the property rather than just waiting for them to come to him. I would highly recommend John to anyone who want an honest, professional and hard-working realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED I am a second generation Real Estate investor/consultant and I had John Yasco sell 2 of my homes and a clients income property. John Yasco has a professionalism that very few Real Estate agents posses. I think it comes from his past executive experience. Combine that professionalism with his knowledge and work ethic and you have the perfect Real Estate agent. Combine the perfect Real Estate agent with one of the best Real Estate teams, The Smith Group, and there is no reason to hire another agent anywhere in Orange County or coastal Los Angeles.

ZillowVERIFIED John Yasko of Caldwell Banker Realty brought exceptional professionalism to the management of the sale of my property in Newport Beach, California by providing the following: 1. Accurate evaluation of a fair price using current comprehensive values of sales in adjacent local areas. 2. Examination of the home in order to ascertain what work was needed to make the property attractive for sale. 3. Provision of qualified craftsmen to do the needed work at a reasonable cost. 4. Help for the occupying tenant to quickly locate another rental in order to vacate the property. This help meant that repairs, painting, etc. could be made and the property shown as soon as possible. 5. Held open houses often and showed the property frequently. 6. Worked amicably with buyers and their agent to negotiate and mutually agree on a fair sales price. 7. Used an exceptionally respected escrow company and followed up on the close of escrow with written details of the sale as well as a DVD of the transaction. Mr. Yasko's friendly mannerism, pleasant and "low key" (and yet very professional) approach in the real estate world was very refreshing! He made the often emotionally stressful sale of a home a smooth transition and a surprisingly pleasant experience.

ZillowVERIFIED We've worked with John on our last 2 home purchases; once upon arriving in Newport Beach and again when the market slid and John helped us find an affordable home with a little more space. We also utilized John to sell a home we had leased out for the past 10 plus years & got our asking price. He along with Tim Smith were invaluable in pricing the home and also managing a potentially complicated circumstance with the long time tenants who were interested in the property. We enjoy working with John primarily because his personality and knowledge of the market puts our mind at ease. Given the stress of buying, selling, moving, etc., we've tended to be high maintenance clients at times and John's always just seem to rolled with it. We've appreciated that about him as much as anything. It's also helped that we've gotten a little lucky in our partnership with John. Staging our home per John's suggestion to help some of the smaller rooms feel roomier resulted in us getting competing offers...Score! We also had the great fortune to buy the home we're in now at the bottom of the market. Given our experience we highly recommend working with John Yasko if at all possible!

ZillowVERIFIED We were first time home buyers, and John did a fantastic job helping us understand the process. He was there to respond to our questions at every step of the way. He took the time to get to know our family in order to help present the best case in our offer letter, which I think helped our offer get accepted. He had great contacts with lenders and other real estate agents that helped us along the way as well. We would highly recommend John to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED If you are looking for someone to list and sell your home or to help you find your new home, look no further. John helped my wife and I find our home in Orange County last year and we could not have been happier with John. We weren't sure where we wanted to live in Orange County when we were looking for our home. John was super helpful in getting us the info we needed to make out decision and was willing to take us to and get us into homes all around Orange County. John is reliable, honest and will work for you as if you are his only client. This was our third home and John was our third realtor. I couldn't imagine using anyone else next time we are looking to list or buy a home.
