2010 Five Star Real Estate Agents in Orange County
Congratulations are in order for our real estate agent Tracy Wilson. She has been chosen as a Five Star Real Estate Agent for Orange County. A Five Star Professional is one who is selected because of their excellence, which is based on extensive surveying by clients and colleagues. The real estate agents with the highest satisfaction results in their market receive the honor. The award is very selective – only 7% of professionals in each real estate market receive it. Go Tracy!
What This Means
Make sure to check out the upcoming December 2010 issue of Orange Coast magazine. There will be a special real estate section devoted to the winners of the award. Torelli Realty is proud that Tracy Wilson is getting recognition for her outstanding performance. We strive for excellent service in all we do. Getting positive feedback from clients and our colleagues is of supreme importance in the way we live and do business.

Everyone knows somebody who hates Realtors. There’s a variety of reasons:
-Some view them as greedy and just out for a commission
-Some think they don’t do enough work to justify the compensation
-Some think the job is too easy and doesn’t require a professional
-And some people have had a lousy experience with an agent and vow never to work with one again.
Finding Middle Ground
Whatever the reason, these objections are real and real estate agents face them all too often. In fact, we recently had a client who claimed to hate real estate agents and wanted nothing to do with us. However, the ice melted because our agent Judy Reyes made a positive impact. Her kindness and experience made the difference.
The Result
Judy worked hard to provide her clients with the best service. By creating an enjoyable, safe atmosphere, the transaction brought about no signs of sellers remorse. The picture below only tells half the story…
Judy Reyes
The clients also took Judy and her husband to dinner!
The Bottom Line – always give your best and don’t give up! A tough sell can end up being your best sell!

Looking for a real estate agent, or any type of service provider, can be a scary task for many reasons. Some people are intimidated by the phone. Will the person who answers be nice? Will they have the answers you need? Will you know the right questions to ask?
Some people don’t like e-mail. Will you get spam forever? How can you tell if the service provider is genuine? Is your e-mail being answered by the person you think it is?
For some people time is of the essence. They don’t have time to make a phone call only to wait on hold. Others don’t have easy access to e-mail.
The times are changing
Luckily, the times are changing. Communication is able to happen more rapidly than ever before. There are multiple mediums available to make a point on contact and continue a conversation.
“Real” People Answer the Phone
For instance, when you call our office you will always get a ‘real’ person. We don’t do voicemail or answering machines.
E-mail works
We monitor our e-mails closely and make a commitment to respond quickly with the information you need.
Cell access
All of our agents have cell phones are are easily accessible. When they are in appointments they make sure to return calls once they are free.
Catching the texting bug
More and more of our clients have caught the texting bug. If you want to text, go for it! We understand that not every question warrants a phone call or email.
Facebook & Twitter
Many of our clients have been connecting with us through Facebook, Twitter , LinkedIn and Youtube. Actually, the people we interact with through these channels are not always clients. They may be someone in the community who has a question pertaining to real estate, home improvement, or a local event. Since Costa Mesa is our home we usually know what’s going on and if we don’t we make an effort to get people the information they need.
Technology is changing the way we communicate and we are excited to interact with clients in whatever manner that suits them best.

Torelli Realty recently sold a short sale in Newport Beach that was in major need of a remodel. The before pictures pretty much say it all. The house was dilapidated and condemned.
Enter the buyer: A person with a vision who saw the potential in remodeling this home in a prime location (Yes, it even has ocean views from the 2nd floor). Currently construction crews are working hard to turn this home into a lucky buyer’s dream home. The clock is ticking and they plan to be a turn-key operation ready to sell by Halloween 2010.
Take a look at the current state – do you think they’ll make it?
We’re looking forward to showing you the after in the Part 2 video, coming soon!
Thanks CJ with Blue Pacific Contractors! We’d like to help hand out flyers with you on Halloween too!
