Newman Realty

In several dozen years of working with real estate brokers - on every side of a transaction, residentia and commercial, in multiple states - I've never come across an agent who was as impressive as Leonard Newman. When recently trying to find a new rental residence, and after seeing several  real estate people who obviously were in second careers, my wife and I almost accidentally entered Newman Realty. Located across from Mission San Juan Capistrano, entering the office is a delight; instead of formica counters and metal desks, you enter a beautiful open suite filled with beautiful antiques - suggestive of an opulent home - and meet this tall, elegant gentleman who makes you immeidately feel as if you're the only customer he has that matters...and then proceeds to perform that way. Leonard helped us identify several possible homes from the MLS, showed them to us gladly, and then, when we picked one, worked hard (against several competing offers) to get us accepted by the landlord. He  then made certain that all the paperwork was in proper form, equally quickly and efficiently. Remember: Brokers are paid by sellers, so they often treat buyers (or tenants) with something less than massive respect; Leonard was far different: This was someone who we trusted, and would trust again, to serve the interests of BOTH sellers/owners and buyers/tenants.  This is a class Realtor, and if you want first rate service - for the same price as the alternative - stop and see Leonard. You'll write the next review...and you'll say what I've said.
