My wife and I had our eyes on a neighborhood for quite some time and Luke was the person who got us into our dream house in the exact location that we wanted. He made sure everything between escrow, the mortgage company, inspectors, contingencies, etc. was timely and easy to manage for us. We had a lot going on at the time expecting a newborn, trying to sell our other house, and work so we really appreciated everything he did to make the process go smoothly. I would not hesitate to recommend Luke to anyone who is looking for a house.
This review is way overdue (busy getting settled), but toward the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019, Luke helped my family sell our house and move into a new one. It sounds easy enough to write it out in a review, but of course there are multiple steps involved with selling and buying a home and Luke helped us every step of the way and I really do mean every single step of the way. When we listed our house for sale at the end of 2018 (Orange County, CA), he gave us all the tips to make a house more sellable (verbally and in documented form). The documents really helped us stay focused. Also, Luke finds or suggests price-competitive companies to work with. For example, it’s one thing to get a termite inspection done and another to find a good company at a reasonable price (there are a ton of termite companies out there). Luke even helped communicate with the termite company to set up the termite inspection so we really just said yes or no to things and nothing else. Selling a house (especially if you are living in it) and buying a house is stressful, but Luke helped relieve a lot of it by participating in follow ups, getting quotes, suggesting strategies, providing routes in getting things done, and so on. Also, Luke does a great job in adding his expertise. If there was something to look for or watch-out for, he would tell us (he doesn’t hide anything). He is a great open book of knowledge to help you sell and or buy the home you want and is indeed a real estate agent you can trust. Trust is of course a huge factor. Another strong suit of his, is that he does not apply pressure (zero). In other words, he wants you to sell your house when you want to sell it and buy the home you want, when you want to buy it. It was all according to our timeline and not his, which was a huge help during the stress of selling and buying a home. My whole family uses Luke for all their real estate needs and will continue to do so. If you are currently looking for an agent who is super knowledgeable, helpful, patient, answers all questions, responds quickly, and is trustworthy, then please do not hesitate to contact Luke Hagenbach (you will not be disappointed).
We had an excellent experience with Luke as our realtor and would highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy/sell! Not only were we first time home buyers, but we were under a time crunch as we wanted to find a home prior to having our first baby. If it wasn’t for Luke’s helpfulness, integrity and dedication, I don’t think we would have found a home in time! Luke was dedicated in helping us find our perfect home and really took the stress out of the situation. He took the time to explain everything to us and answer any questions we had – I would seriously be in contact with him several times each day and he was always patient and willing to explain things to me!We weren’t living in the area where we were buying, but Luke took the time to go to the house and provide us with regular updates throughout the process – he took pictures for us, meet with workers, etc. to make sure everything got done before we moved in. He also has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the Costa Mesa area and was able to provide us with a list of recommended vendors, good restaurants, etc. when we eventually moved in!Luke truly made us feel like we were his only client throughout the entire process. Not only is he an excellent realtor but we became friends with him and trust his opinion and expertise!
We bought our first house in Eastside Costa Mesa with Luke. He was such a pleasure to work with and made everything go as seamlessly as possible. It was extra nice that we bought the house he was selling! He really is so on top of everything while staying relaxed and down-to-earth. He knows a ton about the area and goes above and beyond to make it as pleasurable of an experience as possible! He got us coffee while we signed all the paperwork, gave us an amazing welcome gift, and even brought by homemade chocolate chip cookies after we moved in! (Seriously the best cookies ever! I still need that recipe, Luke). Well definitely use him as our realtor for every home sale/purchase from now on!
Luke is a really good real estate agent. He did all the paperwork for me before i purchase the house and my situation was a bit different than usual. It took more than six months to close the escrow, and two weeks before he closes it my lender quit on me to finance the house. Luke responded very fast and got another deal from the owner of the house which i am living in it right now and enjoying the ocean view. It is hard to find an agent who becomes your friend and acts on your behalf like he is buying the house for himself. You could trust him on every step with the purchase and i am sure he will become your good friend as well. Thank you Luke!
If you are looking for somebody to help you buy or sell your home, go with Luke. He is a true professional - accessible, patient, and determined. He always responded to my calls. I am an attorney and real estate broker myself, and would highly recommend Luke for all your Orange County real estate needs.
Highly recommend Luke. We had 10 offers within 3 days and closed on an all cash offer within 15 days way above asking price. Incredible experience not just because the transaction was great, but the process was super smooth and Luke gave it his full attention during a frenzy of initial interest.
