“Pegi and her team absolutely surpassed all of our expectations! I truly believe Pegi is head and shoulders above the rest in several key ways - Pegi has incredibly depth of knowledge of the area and a strong understanding of winning strategies to differentiate a listing from the rest of the community. Pegi brings a level of quality I had not seen elsewhere with regards to presenting a house in its best possible way. I was so impressed with everyone’s expertise that I knew we (and the home!) were in great hands. During the sale Pegi was on top of every offer and counter offer, every potential buyer, back up buyer, etc. Her quality of response was fantastic. And finally, on top of her strategic knowledge, advocacy, and level of quality, Pegi was a great friend and support in the process. Selling a home and moving is stressful! I felt like we had white glove service with Pegi as well as a new friend too. I looked forward to our meetings and calls with Pegi! Without a shadow of a doubt I would recommend anyone to work with Pegi and her team!”

“Thank you so much for helping us with the sale of Dundalk. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your presence, patience, and professionalism throughout the process ( a lot of P’s there!). I feel like you're family with the level of comfort and trust I have with you not only with the sale of Dundalk, but with the help you provided for Highland View's sale and rental. Please pass along to Allie my appreciation. She’s goes the extra mile and working with a mother/daughter team is great. My dad would have loved that!”

“Pegi and Allie are the cream of the crop! Prior to meeting them, we have searched high and low for a home in the area with no success. As soon as we got to working with them, the magic began. They have brought such a wonderful and pleasant experience to the whole process of us purchasing our beautiful home. They truly value and respect their clients’ needs and wishes. Communication, tenacity, and integrity is absolutely unmatched. They are both extremely knowledgeable and familiar with the area as well. We are so grateful to have been guided by this power team. The entire process of purchasing our home from to start to close of escrow was smooth sailing! Thank you Pegi and Allie!!”
“I’ve known Pegi for over 20 years and she has always had a reputation as a fantastic real estate agent, a Turtle Rock community supporter, and kind friend. I’ve even referred others to her in the past with outstanding results and reports. So when we decided to do a quick remodel and sale of our home, I finally got to see first-hand how hands-on Pegi and her daughter Allie actually are when serving a client. This was my 6th real estate transaction in the last 18 months (in 3 different states), and even though I thought I had some great agents helping me in the past, they didn’t even compare to Pegi and her team. Pegi literally worked 1000x harder than any agent I’ve ever partnered with. She has a lovely, professional demeanor that everyone is drawn to, but is tough as nails if need be when dealing with difficult situations or negotiations. She is a detail-minded person who doesn’t let anything fall through the cracks or go unnoticed. I was able to use her unique connection and agency to finish a complete esthetic remodel of my home in just 8 weeks, and ended up getting 14 offers after the first weekend, closing at almost $500,000 over ask…and about a full million over what I would have if I hadn’t done the pre-sale flip with Pegi’s connections. Pegi dug in, recommended a mover, helped recommend estate sale companies for excess furniture, as well as negotiated remodeling details and budgets with me as my full and equal partner through it all. She handled scheduling house cleanings, arranged for a stager, sent out paper and digital invites, and hosted a massive weekend of showings and open houses. Without her big advertising push and attention to detail during the showings, there is no way our home would have been on the radar of as many people which ultimately resulted in a faster, more profitable sale that broke all the local records. She single-handedly (well, along with Allie and their team) generated a feeding-frenzy for my home that directly led to more money in my pocket, and better comps for my neighbors. As an experienced professional, Pegi knows the rules and legal ramifications of every drop of the sale & escrow process, and advised me, guided me, and held my hand through what could have otherwise been a very challenging process. Pegi communicated constantly, and never once dropped the ball, never got busy with something else, nor was ever unavailable for my requests or questions. Since I moved out of state during the sale, Pegi and Allie both met with contractors, agents, other professionals, took pictures and video to keep me updated, and even took out my trash before trash day for me when I couldn’t get there to do it. Pegi is a full-service agent who will take advantage of all available marketing opportunities, is hyper-organized, and is a savvy negotiator with a heart of gold. Pegi and Allie are hands down, by far, the best real estate teams I’ve ever had the privilege of working with….frankly, one of the best professionals in any field I’ve ever seen. To say I’d recommend Pegi to anyone is a gross understatement…using anyone else for the sale, purchase, or rental of your home would be a huge mistake. Pegi’s Home Group is the finest real estate agency in the country as far as I’m concerned, and I was honored to have Pegi represent me. I can literally say I have zero complaints, and their results speak for themselves.”

“If you’ve ever regretted decisions you’ve made in the past, play it safe and list your house with Pegi’s Home Group. There are many reasons for her success. In addition to having incredible knowledge of what people are looking for and how to market your property to them, great resources for anything that needs to be fixed or improved in your house, and an incredible ability to price correctly and negotiate on your behalf, she is just so warm and considerate. Whenever I had a question or needed information, she got back to me much quicker than I expected. She’s even part therapist; when she realized how nervous I was about getting the house ready to meet the date we had set to list, she suggested pushing it off a week to make me more comfortable. I highly recommend that you make things easier for yourself and list with Pegi’s Home Group.”
“I have worked with Pegi DiRienzo multiple times in the past and have always been extremely impressed with her professionalism and expertise. When I decided to purchase a condo as an investment property, there was no question that Pegi was the perfect choice. Pegi has a wealth of knowledge about the local real estate market and was able to help me find a property that met all of my investment criteria. She was also very patient and answered all of my questions throughout the buying process. One thing that really stands out about Pegi is her attention to detail. During the inspection process, she carefully reviewed every aspect of the property and made sure that any potential issues were addressed before moving forward with the purchase. She also provided valuable advice on how to negotiate a fair price in the current market. In addition to her expertise, Pegi is also a pleasure to work with. She is always available to answer any questions and goes above and beyond to ensure her clients' satisfaction. I would highly recommend Pegi to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you Pegi for all of your hard work and dedication!”
“Pegi is extremely experienced and easy to work with. She has helped us buy a house as well as to sell. She has such a great personality and gets along with ALL types of people and personalities, always with a smile. Her multi-tasking skills are incredible as she really gets ALL the jobs done in a timely fashion, and helps you through any rough moments as well. I highly recommend her and without hesitation will call upon her again in the future. THANK YOU PEGI!!!! (Her team is also fantastic, as Pegi directly oversees everyone, and they all are very flexible and helpful).”

“Pegi and her team were very responsive, always available. When there were hiccups, which is inevitable in any transaction, Pegi was immediately on top of it and took action to resolve any issues. She is very aware that selling a home is very personal and emotional and helped to balance business and emotions at the same time. Pegi also had many contacts that were extremely useful during the selling process, such as handyman, stagers and painters. We would highly recommend Pegi to others looking to sell or purchase a home.”
“Pegi was instrumental to the successful sale of our Irvine home. Her knowledge of the industry and local market is unmatched. Her team is extensive, ranging from real estate, title and escrow experts to contractors and specialty consultants. Pegi first met with us and presented her sales plan in great detail to determine if she could meet our needs and expectations. She then executed her plan masterfully; in particular the staging of the home, leading to the early offer, followed by her successful negotiation in our favor with the buyers. Her team handled the complex escrow smoothly, always keeping us on track and informed. My wife and I strongly recommend her services to anyone who wants results. Thanks very much, Pegi.”
“Pegi is THE BEST agent in all of Orange County! She knows the market so well, is kind and treats her clients exceptionally well, provides honest and timely feedback on the whole process. We’ve worked with Pegi many times before and can’t recommend her enough!”
“Pegi is brilliant in her knowledge and expertise in the local real estate market. The level of service provided by Pegi and her team is outstanding, and I appreciated the fact that she is always accessible. Real estate transactions often come with challenges, and Pegi does a excellent job in offering solutions and finding ways to succeed. I had a great experience working with Pegi and team, and would recommend her to others.”
“We worked with Pegi for our home purchase. She was very hardworking, easy-going, and very professional. Pegi guided us through the whole purchase process and keep us in the loop on every step. We had a very smooth transaction. We were very happy with her service. Highly recommended.”
“We worked with Pegi renting out our home and she far exceeded all expectations. Extremely knowledgeable of the local market, responsive of prospective tenant questions / requests, very helpful in staging our home and we were impressed with the professional photos she produced. Very professional and pleasant to work with. Can’t recommend her more!”
“A best friend of mine recommended Pegi to me when my family moved back to the area and was looking for a new home, and what a great suggestion it was! Pegi made tremendous efforts on things both big and small to help us purchase a home in this unprecedented seller’s market that is so difficult for buyers. She is very knowledgeable, very responsive, and so pleasant to work with. Pegi is a master of knowing the value of everything in a home and how you can improve things, and this is critical when you look for a home in a neighborhood with great schools but older properties. I value Pegi’s work ethnics the most because she is the rare type of person who is willing to run the extra mile for you. This is my fourth time going through the housing market, and I can attest that Pegi is the best I have seen. Even after my home purchase is closed successfully, Pegi continues to help me with questions about my new home, and all her recommendations on the professional services and contractors for repairs and improvements are great! I think that my family is very lucky to have Pegi help us with our home purchase this time.”
“Pegi is a gem in the world of real estate agents. She listens and responds to each individual person and circumstance. Her knowledge base and intuitive eye for detail and possibility create the best possible outcome. She patiently walked me through the entire process from start to finish. My home sold in two days for substantially over the asking price .”
“Pegi is about as shrewd, professional, knowledgeable and experienced as it can get. Her eye for detail, imagination for potential, extensive connections from contractors to handymen, and extremely committed team make the whole experience of working with her a lot of fun and rewarding. Perhaps above all, she is a wonderful and kind person, who goes above and beyond always to do the best that she can. Living outside the area and selling our family home, she handled every detail, small to major, and we ended up selling the home for more than we could have expected. If you are looking to sell or buy in the Irvine/Newport Beach area, Pegi and her team are the best.”
“Pegi's background in marketing real estate for new home builders sets her apart from others in the resale business. Prior to our home going onto the market she put together a comprehensive marketing plan which included all the essentials; floor plan, feature sheet and photos. Our home sold the first day at a record price. I have no hesitation in recommending Pegi and her team, they are top notch and will get the job done with the least amount of aggravation to the seller.”
“I enjoy working with Pegis Home Group and their clients as a Mortgage Broker. They are always on their A game and are extremely organized when it comes to the home buying process and keeping all parties in the loop. Any clients of mine that use PHG are always satisfied with the outcome and appreciate the professionalism as well as their outstanding customer service. Thanks PHG!”
