I've worked with a dozen realtors in my life and I can confidently say that Irene is by far the best! Irene helped sell my property at a great price in a tough market with multiple offers. From pricing, to staging, to negotiating, to coming up with creative solutions to address the buyer's inspection repair request, hard to see anyone who could have executed better than Irene on this transaction. She handled everything with perfection. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, rest assured you are in safe hands with Irene!

We had a great experience to work with Irene & Ricky for selling our house. They are specialized and familiar with the market in Irvine. I selected them as my listing agent immediately after our first meeting in our house. After walking through the property, Ricky explained their strategy regarding how to properly pricing, staging, advertisement, time to open house, etc. in details. Irene followed up and worked with us through the entire process. We eventually sold our house in time and with satisfied price. We fully trust them due to the professionalism I have seen during the entire selling process. I'm glad that I was lucky for choosing Irene & Ricky as my agent without even interviewing other realtors. My wife had already introduced Irene and Ricky to her friend and had them to be the listing agent as well even before we sold our house. Again, I feel lucky to know Irene and Ricky.

I had a wonderful experience working with Ricky and Irene. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about finding the right home for me. They were always responsive, patient with my questions, and explained every step of the process clearly. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and dedication — they went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I have worked with them for like 7 transactions already and I have gotten very awesome experiences. Thanks to their expertise, I felt confident and supported throughout the entire journey. I would highly recommend Ricky and Irene to anyone looking to buy or sell house in Orange County.

After helping us with the sale of our condo (which went super quick and smoothly thanks to Irene), my wife and I were ready to look for a new place. We of course went with Irene & Ricky again because of the great experience we just had with them. Now being on the buyer’s side, things were a bit different, but Irene made it easy for us. She took us to look at multiple places and even provided us with details to keep our eyes out for. Prior to seeing any homes, she would have her research done and be able to give us an overall assessment of what she thought of the property. She is not afraid to give you her honest opinion of the homes and will let you know right away if there are any potential red flags. You really get the sense that she is in it to help you find the perfect home and not trying to just get a sale and move on. When it came to making offers, Irene was very strategic and always had our best interest in mind. Once our offer was accepted, she helped us navigate through the sea of paperwork and spent the time to make sure we were comfortable with everything. As from our past experience, she was always reachable and on time. In the end, I’m happy to say that we were able to find our dream home a lot quicker than we anticipated and are getting our keys next week! Thanks again Irene & Ricky!

This is a belated review. Of the agents I interviewed to list my property in April 2025, Irene appeared the most confident in making the sales despite a turning market. Once appointed, she was set on motion immediately and her team assisted in prepping the property for sales in about a week and along the process demonstrated her care of her client. Keeping control on the cost of updating the property. Professional marketing videos and material were made to support the comprehensive online and offline sales effort. While the market has certainly softened in the few weeks since she was engaged and we had a slow start, she was able to snag an all-cash offer in about 2 weeks and we were able to close in about a month at a record high price for our neighborhood. Throughout the entire process, communication was prompt and transparent, ensuring I was always informed of each development. Irene’s expertise and guidance made a significant difference, as she provided valuable advice on pricing strategy and negotiations, ultimately leading to a favorable outcome. We were delighted with the outcome and had since referred friends to her.

Irene and Ricky did an amazing job selling our house! They helped stage the house, took professional photos, video and 3 D which are all top-notch. They focused a lot on marketing, especially online and on social media. It's how they got the perfect oversea buyer. During the whole process, they are very responsive and considerate. We don't need to worry about anything. They are very experienced and sold the house in a very short time. It was a very smooth experience and I would definitely recommend them to our friends.

Irene is one of my favorite agents to work with. She is always available to talk and when faced with a difficult situation, she considers both sides to find a solution that works for everyone. Although we are on opposite sides of the transaction, it feels like we are working together to make both clients happy to the very end. Even in the final walk thru, there were no holes where paintings were hung. They really wanted my clients to feel like they were getting a new home. It’s clear why she has so many listings Irvine and is the preferred agent for many. I’m grateful to have worked on a transaction with her and her team. I look forward to our next transaction together.

Irene and Ricky are the best RE team I have worked with. That are my sell side agent and help me sell my property in about 30 days in today’s tough market environment. They found potential interested buyer after the first open house and followed through with buy side agent closely and efficiently. They are very professional, reliable and trust worthy throughout the whole process. They communicated everything with me in time and always came with a solution whenever there is an issue. Their professionalism and client oriented service beyond my words. If you have a property to sell or want to buy a good value property, try to talk to them before locking on your agent!
