We know the Orange County, CA real estate market like the back of our hand!
It's the knowledge and expertise that can often be the difference between:
~ overpaying or getting a great deal
~ finding the right property or missing out on it
~ buying a property fully informed or missing critical things during the inspection
Which can ultimately cost you down the road. We are a full-service brokerage, handling the marketing, preparation, negotiations, paperwork and more.
Whether buying, selling, or investing, property valuations are integral to the transaction. We offer appraisal services for refinances, relocations, tax assessment appeals, divorce settlements, court testimony, short sales and REO properties, FHA loans, and more.
Our passion is to help people by sharing our knowledge. We love to educate homeowners and will always put our customers first. If you want to chat real estate or even just connect for a quick coffee, reach out to us anytime!
"She was beyond accommodating of all our requests"
Working with Jodi was a dream! She was beyond accommodating of all our requests, was on top of all the houses we wanted to see, and we could not have asked for a better experience! We had a lot of requirements for what we wanted for our home and Jodi was great about finding potential homes that fit what we were looking for. She was so incredibly patient with us and we never felt any pressure from her to just pick a house. We really feel so lucky to have worked with her and she made our house-buying process a breeze!

"They worked to meet deadlines, negotiated to make sure we didn't overpay or get stuck with horrendous repairs."
"Freedom First properties and their stellar team worked incredibly hard to get us into our home! They helped my family find 2 homes just blocks from each other. To make matters more complicated, we also had to sell our homes before buying. There were so many contingencies and hurdles. The Freedom First team worked together with our lender to make sure the contingencies were quickly lifted. They worked tirelessly and professionally to meet all timelines and negotiated with diligence and wisdom to make sure we didn’t overpay or get stuck with horrendous out-of-pocket repairs after moving in. We’re so thankful for them!"

"Working with the right people helped me make smart decisions during the entire process"
Melinda and the entire Freedom First Properties team were the perfect fit for me! Working with the right people helped me make smart decisions during the entire process. With an in-house appraiser on their staff, this is where I believe they excelled. They were right on the money (literally) with their assessment and as a result, my home received multiple offers after only nine days on the market. We had several challenges during the process and Melinda stayed in control of the situation and always looked out for my best interest. Not only would I recommend the Freedom First Properties team to anyone, but I will definitely be using them again when I have another real estate transaction."
