March 2023 When it came time to sell my home in Orange, CA, Ernie and his team at North Seventeen were the first and only choice as my real estate broker. They had helped me buy the same home just a year prior and I had a great experience with them. Due to unforeseen circumstances I had to move to Florida to be closer to family as quickly as possible. I had to sell in a less than favorable market, but Ernie helped me mitigate potential losses through honest advice, extensive marketing, and expert negotiations. It was obvious he was always looking after my best interests. He and the team, Nick and Gerardo, were so respectful of my time and situation when scheduling appointments. Ernie was not only consummately professional, he provided the support you would expect from a longtime friend, and for that I am so grateful. Whether buying or selling a home, Ernie and his team at North Seventeen will take care of you as if youre family. January 2021 When a job opportunity brought me to Orange County at the end of last year, I needed a real estate broker who could help me purchase a home in one of the most competitive markets in the US. With Ernie Aguilar I got that, plus a trustworthy guide and supportive friend who continues to help me post-purchase. To say hes been a godsend is an understatement. Upon a recommendation by a coworker who had engaged Ernie in her home-search a few years prior, I reached out to him, and he suggested meeting at a bar in Santa Ana. His approach was to establish a rapport with clients and connect one-on-one to ensure a successful working relationship. Apart from seeking to understand what I was looking for and my budget, he sought to grasp my priorities and values. We hit it off, and after casually establishing a few house rules, we began my home-search. My move was challenging as I needed to close on the sale of my home in Florida before Thanksgiving in order to have funds for the down payment. We also had to contend with a small window of opportunity to find a place before my work-provided temporary housing expired in mid-January. He aimed to go into escrow before Christmas, which luckily, we did. As many homebuyers found in this market, inventory was tight and what I originally budgeted was not nearly enough to satisfy my needs. Nevertheless, Ernie guided me through Santa Ana, Costa Mesa my target location, Irvine, Newport Beach, Tustin, and finally, Orange, where we eventually settled. Ernie expertly steered me towards neighborhoods, communities, and properties where I would feel most at home. He managed interactions with selling brokers with utmost professionalism, always working with my interests in mind. He employed a very strategic approach to the offer process which ultimately led to a great property in Orange that only minimally stretched my original budget. Once the offer was accepted, Ernie and his assistant Nick ushered me through the escrow and closing process methodically and kept me informed every step of the way. His established relationship with Lauren at Change Mortgage helped me secure a great mortgage deal. Closing was quick and smooth, and I had the keys to our new home in under 21 days. Post-purchase, Nick continued to be attentive, providing me with a slew of professionals to handle necessary repairs and upgrades. Connect with Ernie and you can do none better for a trusted and highly capable real estate broker.
