Lars has been helping us navigate market shifts and home searches since 2010. He stuck with us over years of preparation and searching to help us position ourselves in the market for success when buying our home. We were never pressured and always felt informed and educated on both local and national trends and best practices.A few years later, when it came time for us to sell our home in an extremely short time frame, Lars pivoted and prepared marketing material, great deals and resources for upgrading our home, and was dialed in daily to keep us informed of both the opportunities and limitations we faced in the market at that time. Home buying and selling is full of compromises, and Lars helped us make the right but difficult choices for our priorities. Since we had moved prior to closing, Lars personally took care of every detail to ensure our buyers were satisfied when we couldnt.Beyond home buying and selling, he continues to support us with market expertise during renovations, to ensure the upgrades we make are in tune with the market value of our properties within their respective neighborhoods and he makes such accurate estimates and projections on return on investment.The breadth of his experience covers much more than real estate. Lars is an excellent leader, as evidenced by how his team helped support us during our home sale; he understands the renovation market, local and national politics, policies, and economics; but most of all, he understands people, the values of different families and cultures and how to satisfy multiple parties while keeping his clients goals at the forefront.

Lars was amazing to work with. He helped us make the process of buying a home easy and as stress-free as possible. He was able to help get us thru contract negotiations quickly and to the best advantage we could get. He has a great team as well to help with any areas that needed attention including great service providers( inspection, Pool, Electric, Roof etc. ) that we knew would work honestly and in our best interest. While we are so happy in our home if we ever need to move, sell, or buy again in the area Lars is our one and only call.

Just had my third experience with Lars and his team, second time buying a house and we were so glad we had him on our side! Lars is very knowledgeable and involved in the process. He had a lot of extra communication with the seller and kept their confidence while we had our minor hiccups during escrow. He also had new ideas and strategies we discussed before we made our offer that really made a difference for us. I’ve recommended him to everyone I know!

Lars and his team made buying our first home such a great experience! Even during the crazy post pandemic market, everything went smoothly. We even had our very first offer accepted and closed escrow 2 1/2 weeks later- I mean, who does that?! From answering all our questions and giving expert advice to making sure we could see any house we were interested in, he was there every step of the way. We love our new home and someday when we’re ready to move on- Lars Nordstrom and his team will be the only people we call to help sell and buy again.

Lars Nordstrom is simply the best. He knows all about the real estate market, and is a caring individual. He makes you feel like you are his only client because he pays so much attention to your needs.

Lars has handled the sale of three properties for our family. He is professional and personable. Lars goes above and beyond to take care of every detail to maximize your profits. I highly recommend him.

Why we decided to select Nars Nordstorm and the Nordstrom Group...We decided to select Lars Nordstorm based on his promise of providing top agent service at as low as 2% commission. After a lengthy vetting process of three agents from different companies, one being Lars Nordstrom, we selected Lars, and the Nordstrom group.Our expectation was that Lars and his group would perform as promised, based on the Ideal Agents promise to provide a top agent at a 2% commission (on the sellers side).Lars Nordstrom exceeded our expectations! Not only did he provide the services of a top agent at 2%, he negotiated a great commission on the buyer side. Additionally, he marketed our home so that we had 13 offers within 3 days showing and of those 13, 4 offers were more than $100,000 above asking price.Lars was extremely kind, patient, considerate and on top of every aspect of the sale of our house during the entire process. My family and I could not be more happy with the process and the results provided by Lars Nordstrom and his team.For this reason, we rate Lars Nordstrom and the Nordstrom Group five stars! We also HIGHLY recommend Lars as your next realtor!

Bethany and Lars are the consummate professionals. They care about their clients and what is best for them. They are warm and professional and are the kind of real estate agents I highly recommend!

Excellent communication is one of Lars many virtues. While professional, Lars is also friendly, approachable and dependable. When I spoke with him on the phone and in person, I never felt rushed.Lars proved to be an excellent choice for selling my family home.As I said before, Lars Nordstrom is definitely one of the good guys!

As first-time home-buyers, my husband and I were a little intimidated by all of the steps and paperwork that we knew we’d have to navigate. Lucky for us, Lars consistently went above and beyond to make this process feel manageable for us at every turn. From sitting down to talk us through the details of our initial offer letter, to negotiating a lower offer price on our behalf, to giving great recommendations for contractors, Lars was more than happy to step in and be of service in whatever way we needed.Another trait we admired about Lars was his responsiveness. Whenever we had a question, he’d fire off a quick reply through email, text, or phone. He was also quick to keep us in the loop about any important developments or updates regarding homes we were interested in.What’s more, Lars had an encyclopedic knowledge about the housing market and home-buying process. Whenever we came across a home that we liked, he could tell us about the housing market in that area, useful details about the surrounding community, important features to look for in a house, and even the quality of plumbing in a given home. He could answer ANY question we brought up, which put us at ease when we had to make quick and important decisions.Lars is also a real estate agent with a tremendous amount of integrity. When showing us houses, he would give us his honest opinion as well as any information he had about the property that we wouldn’t have otherwise known. He even worked hard to negotiate a lower price on the home we ended up buying, bringing it below the listing price by $20,000.If you want a seamless home buying process and a knowledgeable real estate agent who can answer any of your questions, we strongly recommend that you hire Lars!

Thank you Lars and team.After 39 years in our house, we fell in love with large, single story beautiful house. We called Lars and his team to help with the offer and also with the sale of our house.Lars is a total professional, talks honestly with you, very helpful, very knowledgeable in real estate negotiation and is truly a pleasure to do business with. With his preparation suggestions we were able to get offers on the first open house. We always felt he was negotiating for us.Lars also has an amazing full service team. With the sale of our house and purchase of our new home, Lars team helped in every step of the way. His team includes staging, professional photography that even uses drones, a loan service company and an escrow company. They all work together in a coordinated way and always kept us up to date.

With Lars help we were able to put our condo for sale and received full offers within one week. Lars and his team worked with us for months to find a new home. They were very patient showing us multiple listings and finally helping us negotiate on our new home. This is the second time our family has used Lars and we couldnt have asked for a better team.

We have used Lars both times we sold & purchased homes. He worked to get us the homes we wanted, also to sold our house for a great price. He is incredibly knowledgeable, hardworking, and dependable. Best of all, we know were in good hands & trust him completely. If you want a straight-shooter who will bust his butt for you, Lars is your guy!

Lars was an amazing agent for us. He understood our unique family needs and the constraints we were working with. Lars took the time to sit with us to go through our key considerations in detail and was extremely patient in the process. He accompanied us on multiple open houses and was never pushy for us to settle on one that didnt meet our standards. When we finally found the place we wanted, he was great at negotiating and working with the selling agent to come to the best possible agreement to move into escrow. Through the escrow process, Lars was professional and attentive. He ensured that we were covered through the inspection and seller fixed contingencies. Lars is a true professional in his field and if we ever move again (hoping we wont have to), we will definitely retain him again.

Can’t say enough about Lars. He was very patient with us during our home search and was truly honest the whole time! Which is very important when working with an agent! He helped us find our perfect home and we absolutely love it. He went above and beyond during negotiations for us! He’s awesome and amazing at what he does. He’s not only professional but very friendly and warm too.. my toddlers absolutely loved his company too!

Lars Nordstrom and his support team were amazing on both the sale and buying end of our crazy journey. We started the process with the sale of our old home pre-COVID19 pandemic and escrow during the initial stay-in-place orders. Then we had to overcome the hurdles of house hunting for a new home during a stay-in-place and what seemed like new rules regarding real estate each day. Through it all, Lars and his team leveraged their knowledge, adapted and made the necessary changes, and communicated efficiently with all sides through the entire process. THANK YOU for all that you and your team did to find our new home and in the ideal location we wanted! We highly recommend The Nordstrom Group with all your real estate needs.

My wife and are were first time home buyers and Lars has excellent knowledge of the area, that we dont as we are moving in from the midwest. He helped us narrow down our searches so we didnt waste time looking in neighborhoods that werent suitable for our needs. Not only was he engaged and always available for showings, he was fun to walk around the homes with and took care to notice things positive and negative that we hadnt seen. Once the process began, it was a little bumpy for us because of issues that were outside of our and Lars control - but he guided us through it all the way to close. My wife and I 100% recommend Lars to you, without hesitation.

Lars did a phenomenal job helping my wife and I navigate the purchase of our first home in old town Tustin. He was incredibly patient with us as we worked with him for over 3 years until the time was right to make the deal.As others have noted, Lars is a total pro who knows the ins and outs of the real estate business. We had a very quick escrow (18 days!) and a lot of moving pieces, but Lars made it feel fluid and straight-forward, even for newbies like us. He was always honest and transparent, and I never felt like he was pushing or pressuring us in any direction. He is also extremely generous with his time and always available to answer our (hundreds of) questions. Wed give him more than 5 stars if we could! Thank you, Lars.

Lars did an awesome and spectacular job helping my family and I to purchase our first home. He is really patient, very low pressure, and very comfortable to work with. No regrets at all. Keep up the good work.

I interviewed multiple agents and decided to go with Lars. I could tell from our conversation that he had a breadth of knowledge for the Tustin area since he lives in the city himself. While it does take work to get everything into his plan for selling the home, it worked like magic. We had multiple offers on our home over asking price and our home was sold after the first weekend open house. Lars and his team also assisted us in finding a new home during this time and made the transition between the two transactions as smooth as possible. Lastly I want to mention that even after all the transactions were done Lars and team have been very helpful afterwards with any questions I had. I highly recommend this team for purchasing or selling your home.

Lars is the most honest and consistent guy I could’ve asked for! Thank you for putting up with me and being as transparent as you are.Happy Holidays and keep up the killer work my friend!

Lars just helped us buy our home, and we highly recommend him! He and his team did such a great job. They went above and beyond every step of the way. Lars really cares about his clients and and it shows! He also doesn’t miss any details, he is professional, kind, and knowledgeable. He is so easy to work with and gets the job done right! Couldn’t recommend him more!

Lars helped my family buy and sell our last home in Tustin, as well as helped us purchase our current home in Cowan Heights. I rarely write reviews. In fact, I can say that I typically write these as warnings to others against bad service. In this case, however, its the exact opposite. First, Lars was able to help us get our offer accepted on our new home over the 6 other offers. Throughout the process, Lars was very accommodating with our busy schedules and kept in constant communication. Then, he listed our old house, received multiple offers in one week, and sold it for more than we expected. Even to this day, we cant get rid of him (joking). Its nice to know that we werent just transactions to him, but rather treated as friends. P.S. Sorry our dog peed on your shoes Lars. In his defense, youre a big dude.

Lars was introduced to me by my son-in-law. My son-in-law spoke very highly of him. My son-in-law told me of all the things Lars and Chris (his other Agent) did that was above and beyond his expectations. My daughter and my son-in-law purchased the home that was on the top of their list because Lars and Chris helped make that happen. So, I decided to put my trust in them as well when I needed to sell and buy a new home. Lars and Chris orchestrated the sale of my home to perfection. Realistically, due to the market conditions in my area I wasnt expecting to get offers right away. But Lars and Chris used their expertise to help promote my home in the best possible way and the results speak for themselves. Within a week of putting my home up on the market, we started to get interest and received an offer soon after for the amount I wanted to get for the home!They also were with me step by step through the whole process of going through escrow. I was confident that I was well taken care of. What I loved about them was that they were never pushy. I felt that they had my best interest in mind. They were very knowledgeable and smart. They definitely know the best. To no surprise, we were able to find the perfect house that met everything I asked for in a short amount of time. I think about them every time I enjoy my new home. They were the best.I highly recommend them if you are looking to sell and /or purchase a home.

Lars is definitely the best real estate agent we have worked with! We were looking to move to Tustin and received a great referral for Lars. After contacting him I knew he was just who we needed to help us find our dream home. I am a general contractor so I was looking for a good deal on a home that needed some repair. Lars used his expertise and connections in the area and we found the perfect opportunity. I was amazed by his negotiation abilities, even after we came to an amount I was willing to pay for the home he still suggested we go even lower on an offer. Sure enough it was excepted and I was definitely excited to have the extra money to put towards the remodel. Lars has become a close friend and I would definitely highly recommend him for your next real estate need.

I actually think we would still be looking for a house if not for Lars. We actually decided to go with him as an agent while at another open house. After going to more than a dozen open houses in the neighborhood, he was the first agent we decided to give a chance. It was the right choice for us because he was not overly aggressive and ended up providing houses that were what we were looking for. Especially in North Tustin, you need an agent that is part of the community since they all talk to each other. With his help and ability to negotiate with the listing agent, we were able to find our house at a price we liked.

Lars went above and beyond to help my family find a great home for my parents. After many houses and multiple offers he secured the perfect house for them. His experience and knowledge of the Tustin area really helped us find this great home. He really tries to make every step of the process as seamless as possible.

Lars and Chris are great. They were highly recommended to me by a friend. I read their reviews and they were all great. I was looking for someone that knew what they were doing but at the same time werent too pushy. What I respect about Lars is that when he was showing us places, he gave us his honest opinion. If it didnt seem like it would work for us, he honestly told us that. He wasnt just looking for a sale.The place my wife and I ended up purchasing was the house we absolutely loved from the get go but thought it would not be doable for us. And although they didnt have to, Lars and Chris went to the property and talked to the listing agent just to have a chat. This was after my wife and I thought this house was no longer an option for us. One thing led to another, and BAM, we were in escrow.And the escrow process went as smoothly as it could go. Chris was right there for us to answer any question we had. And we had a lot! He was patient and walked us through every step. We felt at ease knowing they had our back. I never had a doubt about that.Lars and Chris are very personable. Theyre very nice and funny, but more goofy funny in my opinion. Just great guys to work with.If youre looking for an agent, you cant go wrong with Lars and Chris.

Lars is a knowledgable agent, a great person, and all-around authentic man! We met him at the early start of our house hunt and instantly connected. He helped my husband and I find our first home in the beautiful city of Tustin. He knows the market and was able to guide us in the right direction and make the right moves in this aggressive market. We are so happy and grateful to have met Lars. Would recommend many times over for anyone looking for a home in Orange County!

Lars and Chris doggedly helped us during our transaction and kept it moving when things others were responsible for started to go sideways. They just didnt take no for an answer and now we have the home we want to raise our family in. I will definitely send my family and friends to them in the future.

Lars recently helped my husband and I buy a home in Lake Forest in October 2018 and we could not have asked for a better home-buying experience. We are so thankful we found Lars and his team. Not only was he very knowledgable, but he was also able and willing to break things down in a way we understand. And that was something that we as first-time home buyers really needed. We had one of the smoothest purchases that we or any of our friends & family have ever heard of. Any time we had a question or concern, we knew we could call Lars and get our question answered. He has enough experience in the business to know how certain decisions will impact the outcome. He is very realistic and honest. Willing to point out the upsides and downsides of a decision and leave the decision to you. Never pushy, never condescending.If Lars sounds like the guy youre looking for, we would highly recommend him & his team.P.S. This review would not be complete without a shoutout to Lars teammate Bethany Dunne who found our dream home and took us on our first tour, and lending advisor Brian Poetschlag at Chase with whom Lars offers the Home Advantage Program. Dream team.

I went through my bank to find a realtor and after two realtors, I was done. I found Lars through my own research and Im glad I did. Lars made me feel like I was his top priority. You couldnt ask for a more dedicated person to buy your next home. Buying a home is one of the most stressful events a person will ever experience. Working with Lars and his team minimized the stress I felt and I couldnt be happier. Give Lars a call today.

I highly recommend Lars Nordstrom and his team to sell your home. We had several offers on my parent’s house in Tustin earlier this year within just a couple of days of listing it. We had interviewed several other agents, but I am very glad that we decided on Lars. It was important to me and my family that Lars understand how much the house meant to us, and he did. He got it. The marketing plan, staging and photography were all part of their services, and very professionally done. He was very knowledgeable of the Tustin market, and his negotiation skills got us a higher selling price. He guided and supported us at every stage of the selling process. He was readily available to stop by and attend to matters at the house since we lived out of town, and he was always available. He did everything that he said that he would; he is a man of his word. I would definitely recommend Lars and his team to anyone selling their house.

Once upon a time, I was sitting in a love seat in front of my TV & watched Korean drama by myself late in the evening. I stumbled upon Lars name on Zillow ( God lead me there, no question there! ) while we were trying to find a new property. Knowing myself as an ISFP (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) so I use Feeling a lot when I choose a house, car, realtor and even wife too, well except kids :) I met Lars first time in Yorba Linda w/o any expectation except I just want to feel him.Honestly, I was intimidated at first due to majority of the houses he sold/bought on his real estate portfolios in Zillow are waaay above my price range, so I thought he would care less about my budget & specific needs. But hold your breath, I was surprise how calm & not-pushing-type of realtor he is, it blew me away. We just connect right away, its almost like a love-at-few-minutes-later-sight. Even my wife said that Lars is a kind of realtor that I feel comfortable with.Long story short, we got our own place now *yaaay*. Lars & Chris helped me throughout the whole process. They even told me dont get this house! at the very first house we went and Im glad the seller didnt accept our offer.If you need realtor that will always on your side despite your budget, your long-specific-needs & calm go with Lars.Thank you God for allowed me to meet with Lars & Chris.

Lars is a fantastic agent that makes the whole process so easy.

I had to sell my condo that was my home since the 90’s. It was a bittersweet time as I was grateful to soon be around my grandchildren and at the same time saying goodbye to two thirds of my belongings.I remember the day I saw my home on Zillow. Lars had written such a beautiful description and caught what I had explained about not just the condo but the feeling of peacefulness in the neighborhood.Lars made the entire process very easy for me to understand. I will always be grateful for the respect and dignity he showed me through the entire process from listing and through escrow.Grandma C 👵🏻
