Jason helped us to purchase our first home. We were literally clueless about the home buying process and had some very complicated tax and property transfer issues. We needed his expert guidance with these before we could make a purchase. He was so patient with us while we searched for our dream home. We sought second opinions, and waffled between buying and waiting for the perfect moment to purchase our first home. We first tried another agent but felt pressured to hurry up and make a decision which we weren't ready to do just yet. We needed more tax advice and the agent we started with made lots of guarantees. When we researched his claims, we found that a lot of what he was saying was made up just to encourage us to hurry up and buy. We would have lost a lost a lot of money and possibly faced serious tax consequences if we had followed the other agent's advice. This is when we found Jason through a friend's recommendation. Jason is so knowledgeable about all the tax and financial implications of purchasing and transferring properties. He thoroughly laid out all the possible scenarios but always encouraged us to get second opinions and often clearly explained he was not qualified to advise us in certain areas. Jason simply shared what he knew which turned out to be far more than most of the professional second opinions we paid for advice. He has provided us with endless referrals for everything from financial advisors and property managers, to handymen and house cleaners. Once we finally decided to purchase a home, Jason was so available! We felt like he worked solely for us. He was available and eager to take our calls and emails 24/7 during this process which was both scary and exciting for us! We were a bit of a headache at times but Jason made us feel like every question and concern was the most important thing to him. We were in a bidding war against someone else for our dream home. Jason wisely suggested the exact number to win us the bid. We even discovered that he was in the middle of escrow on multiple houses while we were purchasing ours but we never would have known it by the level of service he provided. Even once escrow closed, and we had moved in, Jason continued to be a huge support for us. We discovered the termite company hired by the sellers did not do an adequate job repairing wood rot and the company was being very difficult. Jason didn't waste a minute going to bat for us by letting the company know that unless the work was done to our full satisfaction, he would warn all his future clients not to use this company. He also involved the sellers' agent who spoke up to the termite company. Jason really helped us to get the best deal on an amazing house while never making us feel pressured or hurried. He spent many months patiently guiding us and showing us countless properties long before we even decided if we were ready to purchase. We would recommend Jason to anyone! He is smart, friendly, patient and really knows how to get things done the right way! We can't say enough about our experience with him. We are convinced he is the best there is!

This is the third time we've used Jason - first to buy a condo, then later to sell it and buy a single family home. Jason was endlessly patient with us as we looked at homes and neighborhoods, offering thoughtful feedback and insight without ever being pushy. He was very dependable, on time, sent paperwork when he said he would, did everything accurately, returned phone calls. He was also a great resource for us for all manner of service professionals, from mortgage brokers, inspectors, handymen, painters, etc., all of whom met the same high standards that we always received from Jason. He's genuinely friendly, and considering you'll spend many nights and weekends together, that was a big plus. He helped us navigate the timing and logistical challenges of selling and buying at the same time, and guided us through both negotiations. In the end, we found a house that far exceeded our expectations and sold our property over our list price. We always felt that Jason was an advocate and teammate for us and we couldn't be happier with the results. Matt & Reba Neil Lake Forest, CA

I have known Jason now for 4 or 5 years. First, as a fellow basketball player, who quickly became a friend, and then as a consultant and our real estate agent. I highly recommend him as all four... basketball team member, friend, consultant, and agent! It is funny to compare but his drive, teamwork, competitive knowledge on a basketball court, transfers and relates to his abilities and teamwork as a real estate agent. He helped my family navigate some bumpy terrain a few years back; with really no upside for himself, and treated us like his number one client! I am incredibly thankful for his selfless help and understanding, and admire his work ethic and his always upbeat disposition! Again, I highly recommend Jason Risley to anyone considering purchasing or selling a home, especially in Orange County. His patience is one of his best qualities as well as his knowledge of how to get things done properly, and succinctly! I look forward to my next transaction with Jason, and know he is our go to guy for real estate. He makes our 'team' stronger! Frank Howa Mission Viejo, CA

“Throughout my life I have been very fortunate to surround myself with experts that have helped me make investment decision in the stock market and a few years ago I found myself needing that same level of expertise in the real estate market. The most important characteristic I look for is that I can trust that this person will look after my investment just as if it was his or her own. I also need to know that this individual understand the market and can bring me opportunities that match my requirements and capabilities. I am proud to say that Jason Risley has exceeded my expectations in these areas. Over the past 2 years Jason has identified and closed two perfect properties for me and my family. He first helped us find and close on a Bank owned property, which isn't easy, in Costa Mesa for my two oldest sons which has turned out to be a great investment and just a few weeks ago he located a perfect condo in Santa Ana for my youngest son who is getting married on June 15th. As parents we're ecstatic that we we're able to help our boys get started in a home of their own and Jason made it happen. If you find yourself in a similar situation I highly recommend giving Jason a call. He's a man with integrity and will always do what's best for you and your family. David Schafer Irvine, CA

Full disclosure, I am a long time friend of Jason's from long before his real estate business. However, due to that friendship, I was very aware of his business and I expected a lot of him. He did not disappoint. As a first time home buyer, I had a lot of detailed questions that Jason answered promptly and directly. He helped navigate potential pitfalls and find the right home for my family and I. Specifically, I appreciated Jason's analytical approach. As a buyer, you provide more than enough emotion into the process, so Jason's calm analytical background was instrumental in helping us consider all variables and make a choice we're very happy with.

There is no need to look for another Real Estate Agent, because Jason Risley is the best I have ever met! I recently purchased a home that Jason found in a very difficult seller’s market, and I went up against 17 other offers, some better than mine. I was very surprised when Jason told me my offer was accepted, so I contacted the listing agent and thanked her for selecting my offer. She told me the thanks belongs to my Agent, because they were convinced by Jason and his ability to make the sale happen. Jason is an absolute pleasure to work with and I have never found such a hard working, caring, organized and dependable Real Estate Agent as Jason Risley. Gregg McNelley San Clemente, CA

Hands down, Jason is the best realtor we've ever worked with in Orange County. He has a high-touch, customer-service approach and is the most responsive and knowledgeable broker we know. We've bought and sold a few homes over the years, and were surprised to find that we still had much to learn. Jason walked us through the process from start to finish with patience and expert counsel, keeping pace with our needs and concerns the entire time. He served as a good thinking partner as we voiced our desires and questions, making sure we understood all of our options. He didn't get ahead of us and we never once felt pressured to act when we weren't ready. Jason would be our top recommendation to friends and family who are looking for a first-rate realtor to help them find the right home. James & Michelle Lee Irvine, CA (Quail Hill)

Jason was the best! He helped us in every step of the way. Before, during and even after we bought our house. He was very patient, explained us everything, helped us get a great deal and provided us with great contacts for related services (home inspection, activation of utilities, insurance, etc.) we definitely recommend him and we will go to him next time we're looking to buy or sell. -Raul Frias Also seen on zillow at: https://www.zillow.com/profile/JasonRisley/#reviews

“Jason was a pleasure to work with. We are first-time home buyers and knew almost nothing about the process of buying a house. Jason helped us step-by-step. Not only did he find the perfect house for us on our first tour of houses, he was able to help us successfully negotiate the price and our offer was accepted within a week. He even went above and beyond when we had multiple questions about the house during escrow. We recommend Jason to our closest family and friends!”- Corri Lutito

“Jason Risley KNOWS Orange County real estate, where it’s been and, more importantly, where it is headed. Jason also cares and is concerned to know and clearly understand his client’s real estate needs and desires. He took significant time to learn and relate to our family’s objectives for finding the best residence to meet our extended family needs, and in the process he was able to offer us a wide variety of housing locations and options to help solidify in our minds (and his) where and what we were really after and could afford, appropriately calibrating us for the Orange County real estate market. He helped us find the best residential solution in a great location, negotiate a fair price within our means, and arrange beneficial alternative financing that made it all possible. The search and escrow processes had some inevitable bumps along the way, but Jason was there with us to help smooth out the rough spots before, during and even AFTER close of escrow. We owe him a debt of gratitude for his caring and reassuring professionalism, and we cannot recommend Jason highly enough to anyone requiring top quality real estate assistance in Orange County.” Jerry & Beth Tucker / Garrett & Cindy Hume Families Laguna Hills, CA

You will not regret working with Jason to find, buy, or sell your home. He has handled a number of transactions for me and has not disappointed me once. He is professional, knowledgeable, and honest. A particular strength of his, is Jason works well with all types of personalities. In the business he is in, that is critical to consummating a deal. Jason also has a tremendous work ethic. He returns messages promptly and makes himself available to the client on the client's time, not his time. Jason's personality comes with no baggage. You will like working with Jason. He is a stand up guy beyond being great at what he does. Jeff Sebek Irvine, CA

My husband and I just bought our first home with Jason as our realtor, and he was EXCELLENT! Being first time home buyers we had a lot of questions and needed a lot of guidance and Jason was not only extremely knowledgeable but patient with us with our many texts, emails and calls. We looked at multiple homes for about 6 months before we found our home and in that period, anytime a house peaked our interest Jason was on it getting us all the information we needed and quick to setup a walk through, all while being so kind, personable and again patient. When we did find the one he was quick to put an offer in for us and guide us and advise us on what to do with a home that had multiple offers. At the end of it not only did we get the home, but it appraised for 10k higher than we bought it for. He made it unbelievably simply for us! We are so happy with our new home and are beyond grateful for Jason! Also seen on: https://www.zillow.com/profile/JasonRisley/#reviews

We recently bought a home using Jason's help and it was no easy task for him. He took us out at least ten different weekends to look at the home that was perfect for us. He has lot of experience and knowledge of the location you are interested in and he gives great advice when it comes to finally finding the right home to meet your wants/needs/goals. He was referred to my husband and I would definitely refer him to any person looking to buy or sell.

Jason went well above and beyond in getting my condo sold. I moved to NYC and needed someone I could trust to handle things in Covina. We had some trouble getting buyers to commit and when an opportunity came that looked good Jason leveraged his network to find someone who could work on getting the condo FHA approved. The road to selling my property was long, and Jason made it happen.

Having never been through the process of buying a home, I was a bit cautious about the whole thing, unsure of who's opinions to trust and how to best move forward. Jason made himself readily available to me at each and every point in the process. He did his best to understand my wants and needs, and helped me discern the best option based on what I was looking for. I was grateful for his guidance in this process, and his ability to focus on what would be best for me. Jennifer Moody Santa Ana, CA

Jason met everyone one of my fiance's and my expectations during the home buying process. Recently moving into the neighborhood, I quickly learned that he was extremely knowledgable about the area. He was quick to find places to view in the area we were looking in and coached us through the negotiation process. The quality I like about Jason the most was his upfront honesty and pragmatic approach. As most people know, the house buying process can be emotional and it was great to have Jason as a sounding board with each potential house. I highly recommend Jason for anyone who is looking for a new home. pamela b taylor

I have been buying properties in California for the past 35 years and have worked with many Realtors and agents. Hands down, Jason Risley has been the best. In December of this past year, my wife and I worked with Jason to purchase a bank owned foreclosure in Orange County Ca. Jason's knowledge of real estate, local market, and sales trends coupled with his experience in the banking industry and financing options was key to a successful purchase. His ability to cut through red tape or handle issues as they occurred dramatically reduced the buyer's stress and anxiety that can be associated with complex transactions of this nature. I found in Jason an expert communicator, savvy negotiator and a man of integrity. He managed all the parties involved and the myriad of details which led to a close of escrow as promised. I firmly believe Jason played a large role in enabling us to purchase this property well below market rate. Steve Anderson Mission Viejo, CA

I had the pleasure of working with Jason on the closing of one of his listings and his level of attention to detail was amazing. Not only is Jason extremely professional and knowledgeable, his background in accounting clearly ensures that his clients are represented by someone who is accurate, efficient, and prepared. From beginning to end, Jason was actively involved in every part of the process to ensure this deal closed on time and without any disruption to his client’s day to day life. If you’re buying or selling a home, Jason is someone you need to speak with. Journey Brennan Ladera Ranch, CA
