Testimonials

"We were referred to Pegi by a previous client of hers. Our friend had toured and bid on homes with Pegi in the past but because of external circumstances, ultimately ended up buying in a distant location from Orange County. Nevertheless, they had only the nicest experience with her and enthusiastically recommended Pegi for her knowledge, expertise, and kindness. After more than a year as a long d… Read MoreRead Less

"I've always wanted to work with Pegi because she has been number one agent in our neighborhood as long as I could remember. Pegi and her team were super duper. My property was sold soon as I signed the contract record high speed and price. I didn't have to do a thing Pegi took care of everything. All I had to do was sign some documents at home. Everything went super super smooth for me but … Read MoreRead Less

"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 servin… Read Moreg 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." Read Less

"Pegi was awesome! She provided quick and responsive guidance in crafting our offer, completing the inspections and working through the minor issues identified with the seller.

"For the past five years, we have been looking for our "empty nest" home, leaving our custom Turtle Rock home of 15 plus years. Our journey took us from La Jolla to Montecito, with the main focus on the many view and coastal areas of Newport and Laguna Beach. Pegi was always excited to explore every opportunity with us and was patient as we continued to hunt for the perfect house. She provided a… Read MoreRead Less

"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!
