When I'm asked what makes Mike and Mary an extraordinary realtors, I say that they are the perfect balance of "velvet over steel." Mike & Mary are our best experience ever in real estate service from end-to-end.They sold my home in 11 days with multiple offers at a good price.Thoroughly recommended! We admire and appreciate their hard work, patience, and diligence along the way, and most of all, a special thanks to Mary for being one of the most diligently communicative professionals I’ve ever worked with.

Having completed over 50 real estate transactions, I can confidently say that the team of Mike and Mary were far above all other agents I worked with on the sales side. A few things that differentiate them: • Proactive: They attended local open houses and gained a thorough understanding of the local market even before the property was listed. Additionally, their proactive communication with tenants helped us get the property on the market about two weeks sooner than anticipated. • Expert Negotiators: Mike and Mary provided valuable insights into the market and helped us secure a better deal, demonstrating a keen understanding of market dynamics and negotiation strategies. • Attention to Detail: They meticulously managed every aspect of the transaction, ensuring nothing was overlooked and all paperwork was handled flawlessly. Additionally, they brought in professional staging and made repair recommendations that helped us get top dollar. • Open Houses & Broker Previews: They held a broker preview and open houses each weekend the property was on the market. This is far above what most past seller agents have done for me. • Exceptional Communication: They kept me informed at every step, promptly responding to my queries and providing clear, comprehensive updates. • Market Knowledge: Their deep knowledge of the local market helped in accurately pricing properties and identifying the best opportunities. • Client-Centric Approach: They always prioritized my needs and preferences, providing personalized service and invaluable advice tailored to my situation. • Professional Network: Their extensive network of contacts, including inspectors, contractors, and attorneys, facilitated smooth and efficient transactions. • Humble: Although they are top producers, they handled some tasks quickly that might have taken an extra few days to outsource. They changed a smoke detector and Mary consistently organized the staging to present the property in the best light. Overall, Mike and Mary's professionalism, expertise, and dedication made them the best agents I've ever worked with. They are truly in a league of their own.

Mike and Mary - Top Team, as the name suggests really are a "Top" realty firm in Irvine. Irvine housing market is very tough to crack due to very limited supply and huge demand, and we could buy our first home in Irvine just because of Mike and Mary's help competing against the cash offers. Having 35+ yrs of experience they know their job. They could get our multiple offers accepted in such competitive market. Besides being our agents, they always guided us in the right direction. We would have made some terrible mistakes, which we would have regretted later, if they were not there to save us. Thanks again for all your help. Wish you all the success.

Mike and Mary are THE best! This is now our 2nd transaction with them and we couldn't be happier. We've bought 2 homes in Irvine with them and they keep surpassing our expectations. They are so knowledgeable and are always fighting for their clients best interest. Even in this crazy buyer frenzy with homes having 7+ offers, they were still able to secure our offer for our dream home!! I refer all my friends and family to them. Couldn't image working with any other duo. Beyond happy. Don't bother interviewing or working with other agents. We considered working with a friend who recently got their license and unfortunately they lacked the market knowledge and negotiation skills to deliver. This market truly requires you to work with a team who is seasoned and not afraid of competition. Mike and Mary for life.

I am very happy to have Mike and Marry help us find our dream home

This was our first time selling a home, and we couldn’t have been happier with the service and personal attention provided by Mary, Mike, and their team. From our very first meeting, they listened to our needs and always exceeded our expectations. Their expertise was very reassuring throughout the entire process. Very warm and wonderful people to work with. We highly recommend!

We retained Mike & Mary to sell my mothers home in Irvine, Ca. as we live in Ohio. I did some checking and Mike & Mary had great reviews so I signed up with them and they took me step by step on what they would do from listing, qualifying and dealing with any contingencies with potential buyers and said it would be sold in 5 days. Well they were off by a couple days only because there were multiple offers and was over $75,000 more than asking. We closed in about 7 days and everything that was promised they fulfilled and more. I highly recommend their firm to trust your home with, they get it done. Sincerely Robert Davis

I had the pleasure of working with a fantastic Real Estate Agents, Mike and Mary Jafarkhani, who went above and beyond to help me find my dream home. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my preferences and needs, and patiently listened to my concerns and questions. Mike and Mary were incredibly cooperative, nice, and professional throughout the entire process. They have a high level of experience and expertise, which was evident in the way they helped me find the best possible price and financing program, while also ensuring that the seller's needs were met. What really stood out to me was their availability and responsiveness. They were always in touch, even outside of normal business hours, and were happy to answer any questions or concerns I had. Their commitment to helping me find the perfect home was truly admirable. I would highly recommend Mike and Mary to anyone looking for a top-notch realtor who truly cares about their clients. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication!

I have worked with Mike and Mary for over 10 years and they have represented us in buying, selling and rental transactions. They are extremely knowledgeable and very accessible. I can always count on them to give me straight forward and reliable advice. All of our transactions with them have been very successful and done to our full satisfaction. If I need any real estate related help in Irvine area, Mike and Mary will be my first choice !!!

We made two phone calls to list our home. The first agent we called didn’t answer his phone until mid day the next day. Mary answered her phone immediately. We had her over the next day and loved her outgoing personality and all the tools she utilizes to sell a home. We gave her a tour of our home and were impressed with her knowledge of the real estate market and of our Woodbury Neighborhood and all of Irvine. The next day she came back and we were ready to sign. She staged our home. All the people, including Mike, Lynn and Kathy who work with Mary are so responsive and great. We must have called Mary and Mike two or three times a day and they were always there for us. Our house sold in one day. We had an unbelievable offer and a backup offer. We cannot believe it happened so fast and that is why if you are in the market to sell your house for the best price…hire Mike and Mary. It will be a done deal in no time.

I recently had the opportunity to be a lender on a transaction where Mike and Mary were the listing agents representing the seller. Mike and Mary were amazing from start to finish! Great communication throughout the process and very easy to work with. 5 Stars!!

Best realtor I've ever dealt with. They made the process very smooth. They have 33 years of experience and success, and it shows! I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone. I'm very happy!

Mike and Mary are an incredible team. They are extremely professional and knowledgeable and sold my home so quickly. They made the entire process so easy. Always a pleasure to work with!

I hardly give 5 stars in my reviews but they are really 5 stars in what they do. We had very smooth, professional and on schedule process. I recommended them to my sister and not surprised, they had same experience.

The Mike and Mary Team are professional and trustworthy. I dealt mainly with Mary who was honest and very pleasant to work with. As a team they respond to phone calls, emails and texts quickly. They made us feel at ease during the home buying process, from start to finish. Mary is truly a professional and I would happily & confidently recommend them.

We love Mike and Mary. Been doing business with them for years.

My Irvine house was expensive, and selling it was complicated by the fact that there were two similar houses on the market just a few houses away. Mary told me not to worry, that she was making the sale of my house her priority. She organized everything, from painting to staging, transforming a beautiful home into an elegant retreat. When the inspection indicated some minor work was required, Mary again stepped up and had the work performed in a day. In addition, when an offer did not appear overnight, she calmed my nerves with her confidence. And it was well placed. She not only got the asking price but a cash offer. During the process of preparing and then selling my home, I came to think of Mary not as my realtor but as my friend. I sought her advice and expertise in buying my new home, and if I ever need a realtor in the future, I will reach out to Mike and Mary. They are the best.

We were in the market for an investment property in Irvine. Mike helped us out professionally and with attention to detail. We purchased the condo with his assistance and that investment has turned out very well for us. I recommend Mike for his knowledge of the market and for his excellent customer support.

I just sold my lovely home through them about a week ago. I'm thrilled believe that they made a highest price in our neighborhood. They are very professional and responsive so the communication was smooth throughout the process. They are also very dedicated so that they close the deal in just two weeks. I'd definitely recommend to others.

Mike and Mary Team are exceptionally professional and trustworthy. They are honest and very pleasant to work with. They respond to phone calls, emails and texts immediately. They pay attention to details and advise you on every step of the way using their extensive experience and wisdom. They always keep you informed throughout the process. They have great vision for problem solving approach. I would strongly recommend Mike and Mary Team for all your real estate projects.

Mike and Mary of Re/Max are professional realtors who have been an absolute pleasure to work with. From Day 1 to Closing of our home they provided exceptional services throughout the journey. In spite of COVID related challenges, they did an incredible job staging, marketing, photography, listing, showings and helping us manage all the paperwork making the entire sales cycle a breeze. They even helped us line up handyman, painters, electricians, floor cleaning, window washing services in a single day and at the most reasonable prices. We received 4 offers on our home in 3 days. We ended up selling our home for $60K more than original listing. As our new property is under construction and 6 months away from close, they even negotiated with the buyer to allow us to rent back the property until we close our new home. This was above and beyond. This is a power house couple who works incredibly hard to make sure you get the maximum out of the experience in every aspect. I highly recommend them! Hammad & Saima

I would like to give Mike and Mary 5+ star recommendation. The second we interviewed with Mary we knew she would help us find our forever home. Her knowledge about all the neighborhoods in Irvine was super helpful (as she knew exactly what we were looking for and what was important to us) as well as her 30+ years’ professional experience. As first-time buyers the whole process can be very intimating, but Mike and Mary were efficient, communicative and professional from start to end. We truly felt like VIP customers and couldn’t be more thankful for helping us close the deal on our dream home. I highly recommend working with Mike and Mary, you will not be disappointed!

Mike and Mary are the Best, words are not enough to describe how much we are thankful for them. They provided excellent service right from the start of making an offer to purchase, till closing of the escrow. Mary is always available to answer any question and help out. Mike has provided much needed guidance through out the entire transaction and even after the closing :). They are highly experienced and are expert in handling real estate transactions. We highly recommend Mike and Mary for any real estate services. Thank you so much Mike and Mary !

Mike and Mary are an A+ Team! We appreciated their VIP customer service throughout the process especially during a once in a generation pandemic. They were so very understanding to ensure our safety and interests were always a top priority. Selling your home is more than just a transaction. It ultimately is about people - sellers, buyers, realtors, stagers, escrow, lenders, etc. It takes teamwork! We were very fortunate to work with the Mary and Mike Team!! I definitely recommend working with them.

I would like to recommend Mike, Mary and Lynne team to everyone who is seeking to sell/buy house in Irvine and nearby. They are supportive and definitely professional. We sold our house during Covid-19 period. Many people said it maybe not a good timing for selling house. However, our condo house got multiple offers in 3 days! Closed all the procedure in less than 3 weeks. We followed Mary's advice and the team really did a great deal. The final price was even higher than the listed one. It's a great journey to work with Mary, Lynne and Mike. They absolutely deserve a 5 stars review.

Lynne is knowledgeable, personable, and efficient. I absolutely recommend her if you are looking to purchase a home in Orange County. She is so well versed in the real estate industry and very easy to talk to. Home buying is an intensive, meticulous, confusing process, and Lynne made it very easy to understand and navigate. She was there every step of the way to answer all of our questions and always kept us in the loop. We also had the chance to work with Mary and Mike. They are so experienced and pleasant. We are lucky to have been able to work with the whole team!

Mike and Mary are awesome! We recently sold our home with Mike and Mary, and we could not imagine better agents than Mike and Mary! Reasons why we recommend them: 1. They are both very experienced. They knew the market demand, how to make our home stand out, and how to market our home. This attracted many buyers and offers, way beyond our expectations. 2. They are both very responsive. This was our first home sale, and the process is lengthy and involved so we had many questions. Mike and Mary have always responded quickly to our questions and calmed our nerves. 3. They provide top-notch service. They are always so friendly when we talk to them. All of their recommendations and decisions had our interest at heart. They guided us through the whole process and updated us on every step of the process. We are very pleased with them and would recommend them to everyone. Thank you Mike and Mary!

I had been aware of Mike and Mary's successful reputation in the thirteen years I owned my home, I had chosen realtors based on personal reasons twice before and decided to use business reasons this time. I was impressed with how professional and caring they were when I asked them to list my home. They listened, were very hands on, always available to answer questions, had excellent instincts and exceptional follow through. They found the perfect buyer for my home (who even thanked me for selling him my home) and were by my side the whole time with a difficult seller of my new home. Their follow through extended past closing when the seller had removed the negotiated washer, dryer and refrigerator. By the end of moving day, Mary had spearheaded the negotiations to get these items back in place and hooked up at the previous owner's expense. Mike went out of his way after closing to insure that things in my new home were operational solving the garage door opener challenge. I love my new home and couldn't be happier with the whole experience - I highly recommend Mike & Mary! Sharon K

Mike and Mary did an excellent job as our selling realtors. From the initial meeting to preparing the house for sale to listing to the open house to negotiating the sale to executing during the escrow period, they were responsive, professional, and friendly. They definitely used their considerable marketing techniques and network to bring in buyers.

I recently sold my home with the assistance of realtors, Mike and Mary. They say that their #1 priority is to provide clients with 5 Star services. They definitely delivered such service. When they said that they were available to assist or answer questions, they meant it. Furthermore, I truly felt that my best interests were first and foremost. Overall, this was the best, most positive real estate experience that I have had. I highly recommend them to all.

Mike and Mary were a pleasure to work with. They sold our house in Woodbury after the first open house weekend. We selected Mike & Mary due to their continual presence in the Woodbury area. After living in Woodbury for 13 years, we have seen the area grow and change, but the one constant was seeing Mike and Mary's sold signs all over the neighborhood. They delivered on exactly what they said. They were extremely diligent throughout the process and were always (I mean always) available via text for phone. Mike and Mary each have different strengths which makes them a great team. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

Mike and Mary are absolutely the best! We are so thankful for their service along with their knowledge in the real estate business. They put our needs above theirs and were always available when any questions arise. We consider them to be our realtors for LIFE and looking forward to be working with them again in the future.

When choosing a realtor to represent your family's interest, you want to make sure that you are selecting the best of the best. The location, school district, the neighborhood, etc., are all extremely important to consider. My wife and I had an excellent experience with Mike / Mary Jafarkhani and Talia from RE/MAX Premier Realty. This team is THE BEST around!!! The level of customer service and attention to detail was extraordinary. It was pouring rain the day that we saw some of the local listings in our area. Mary and Talia took care of my family walking with an umbrella over my daughter and sitting in our car at times to entertain our son. If I could give 10 stars I would!!! They walked me through the entire process and I cannot believe it!!! We closed yesterday on the house and everything went so smoothly. My family and I are on cloud 9 right now! You have earned our business... I will refer plenty of clients to you. Thank you!!! Thank God!!!
