Testimonials

My husband and I recently decided to buy our first home together in the rapidly escalating, highly competitive Eastside Costa Mesa real estate market. With a budget well below a million dollars, finding an affordable home that fit our size, condition and location criteria sometimes seemed like it would be impossible. After five months of intensive searching with Todd, we finally found “the” home. Unfortunately, a lot of other people had found it, too. We had limited financial ability to engage in a bidding war, and we were competing with eight other offers. Ugh! With an agent any less skilled than Todd, I feel we wouldn’t have secured the home. However, I am pleased to say that, because of Todd’s excellent handling of the situation, we are now the very happy owners of the home we “had to have.” Over the course of our five month search, Todd was 95% super agent and 5% therapist.

My husband and I recently decided to buy our first home together in the rapidly escalating, highly competitive Eastside Costa Mesa real estate market. With a budget well below a million dollars, finding an affordable home that fit our size, condition and location criteria sometimes seemed like it would be impossible. After five months of intensive searching with Todd, we finally found “the” home. Unfortunately, a lot of other people had found it, too. We had limited financial ability to engage in a bidding war, and we were competing with eight other offers. Ugh! With an agent any less skilled than Todd, I feel we wouldn’t have secured the home. However, I am pleased to say that, because of Todd’s excellent handling of the situation, we are now the very happy owners of the home we “had to have.” Over the course of our five month search, Todd was 95% super agent and 5% therapist. He made himself so available, always picking up calls, returning texts, making time to meet us at properties and taking time to talk through the pros and cons of various properties, that I sometimes had to stop myself from calling him at midnight. Just because I couldn’t sleep didn’t mean he shouldn’t! The point is, Todd understands the urgency of a buyer and their budget in a hot real estate market, and he was 100% there for us. As for the therapist part, Todd did a great job of remaining calm and helping me refocus (and even regain a sense of humor) when the rigors of a competitive market became overwhelming and/or frustrating. When it comes time to write offers, Todd is wonderfully thorough, with a keen ability to think strategically about how to structure them. He has a gift for assessing the total situation, market factors, seller considerations, buyer needs and abilities, timing and writing a strong and compelling offer that wins the deal. We wrote serious offers on two hot properties. Both were multiple counter situations, and in both cases, our offers won. In sum, Todd is a true real estate professional. He takes his job seriously and it is clear that he strives to deliver for his clients. He delivered for us, and I would recommend him to anyone.

I want to share my distinctively unique experience with Todd Bousman as a realtor, and a professional. I have known Todd since he was a young boy, and he was just as delightful then as he is now. Many years went by without seeing him, but I knew of his outstanding reputation. I recently relocated and was living in the Huntington Beach area. I needed to lease out my home for a few years, in order to be able to spend some much needed time with my elderly Mother. Having lived most his life in Coastal Orange County, I knew Todd could provide potential clients with his invaluable knowledge relating to all of the wonderful amenities in the local beach communities. Todd’s enthusiasm for the housing industry makes him stand out from any other realtor and I have worked with in the past.

I want to share my distinctively unique experience with Todd Bousman as a realtor, and a professional. I have known Todd since he was a young boy, and he was just as delightful then as he is now. Many years went by without seeing him, but I knew of his outstanding reputation. I recently relocated and was living in the Huntington Beach area. I needed to lease out my home for a few years, in order to be able to spend some much needed time with my elderly Mother. Having lived most his life in Coastal Orange County, I knew Todd could provide potential clients with his invaluable knowledge relating to all of the wonderful amenities in the local beach communities. Todd’s enthusiasm for the housing industry makes him stand out from any other realtor and I have worked with in the past. His passion for making his clients feel at ease and totally comfortable throughout the entire process of leasing a home, is only excelled by his ability to make you feel sure about the details, even when you’re not sure of yourself. He truly was a God send, as I was wrapped up in life with so many other projects at the time. He took the time to sit with me in my home, hear my thoughts, desires and concerns and know precisely how to market my home to the right persons. Todd is consistent, dedicated, passionate, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to work with. He made the entire transition painless, which was so needed during a very stressful time in my life. Always a kind soul, always thoughtful, always forth coming with creative ideas and suggestions without any pressure at all. I truly feel that I wouldn’t have been able to find just the right people without Todd Bousman. I would tell anyone and everyone who is looking for the right realtor, whether you’re leasing or selling, that Todd is the man for the job. Integrity, honesty, and hard working beyond the norm, is very hard to find these days. With Todd it’s just part of who is and the way he conducts business as well as his life. Honored to know him and extremely fortunate to have worked with him.

I’ve known Todd and we have been great friends for many years. We also worked together in the real estate industry several years back. Todd was the obvious choice to represent us to sell our income property in Newport Beach. Even though I have my own real estate license and I could have tried to sell the duplex myself, I knew that I would not put in the time or effort, nor would I have the same level of local marketing expertise that Todd brought to the equation. Along with local market knowledge, Todd used his quality resources to help make the property show well and he understood the financial nuances of selling income property. Even though I was traveling out of the country during the sales process, Todd was able to work with me digitally to get all of our documents signed on time for a successful close of escrow.

Todd also has another extremely valuable attribute a keen sense of aesthetic and creative vision. He has the ability to assist his clients in helping them put their best foot forward, so to speak, to create and achieve the highest possible value. I’d highly recommend Todd Bousman to anyone and everyone!

The usual descriptives do not adequately address the outstanding service Heather Proud provided. She immersed herself in the all aspects of our home sale process. From preparation of the home, to securing contractors, to marketing, to the close of escrow, Heather made the process seamless and stress free. She was available when needed, worked collaboratively with everyone and researched unfamiliar aspects of the home and neighborhood diligently. Heather sold our Eichler home to buyers with a genuine interest in this unique mid-century modern home. Not only did Heather negotiate an excellent price, she found buyers that would care for and enjoy our former family home which we owned for over 50 years. Even after the sale, Heather addressed a concern of the new owners, efficiently and effectively. I unconditionally recommend Heather to people looking to sell or buy a home with a desire to b…
