Have you ever engaged someone to do a service for you and ended-up feeling that all they did was waste your time? This the exact circumstance my wife, Gracie, and I faced after listing our Mission Viejo home, with two established real estate firms, each one highly touted as experts in their field. Thank God after suffering through 9 months of extreme frustration with agents from these firms, I received a knock on my door from Mr. Max Nejad, with Surterre Properties. Max proceeded to show us not only an impressive marketing strategy he puts into action for each of his customers, but, one that showed incredible insight about our particular property. He came prepared; giving us straight feedback on why our home had not sold, as well as detailed input on issues we needed to address, in order to get the results we were looking for. He was honest and straightforward from the beginning and informed us that our home was overpriced and was in need of staging. He went out of his way, paying, out of his own pocket, for paint work that he felt would attract more buyers. He started showing our house before it even went on the market, and on the fourth day, he sold our house for the full asking price (i.e., a record sale, in our community, btw)! We couldn’t be more pleased with his professionalism and attention to detail. We continue to recommend him to others as a true professional who comes prepared to meet the customer's expectations, beyond just acquiring the listing.

Max is a SUPERSTAR! He came highly recommended by a coworker so we reached out to him after our house had been on the market for several months with few showings and no offers. Max was able to set realistic expectations with us and worked with us to get the house staged and hit every marketing angle possible (high quality brochures, a website dedicated to our property and much more). Max immediately had multiple showings and after a few open houses Max brought a solid all cash an offer to us. Max negotiated on our behalf to get us the very best price. Max was even able to keep the deal on track to a point where we closed escrow several days earlier than expected. Max was extremely professional throughout, had constant communication with us and was available day and night to answer all of our questions. He made an extremely stressful process as stress free as possible. We are grateful to Max for his hard work, attention to detail (and especially deadlines) and for getting the job done.

Max is one of the very best real estate agents I've ever had the pleasure of working with! He stays connected with his sellers/buyers every step of the way and helps to eliminate any anxiety over what can be an extremely stressful process. He worked hard to get the top $ for our home and we feel very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Max and urge you to contact him. You will be very happy you did!

Max was fantastic! A true Real Estate Professional and when the going gets tough, and it did, he gets going. You can trust his word, depend on his guidance, and know that he is there to get the deal done. It was a true pleasure to work with Max and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. He will be your new best friend in the Real Estate business.

After a wasting the summer trying to sell our house with a terrible agent, Max approached us and offered to relist and sell the house. I was skeptical at first that we would be able to sell the house at the price point we were looking for since prime selling season was over. Max said he would work his butt off to give the house the attention it needed, and he did. He was informative, reliable, and kept in good contact with us throughout the process. I'd be happy to work with him again. Thanks, Max!

Being an out of state owner, we knew that our chosen real estate agent would be our biggest decision. After our vast research of reputable agents in the area, we decided to go with Max--and we could not have made a better decision. Max brings what any seller would like to have in their represented agent: experience, is reliable and an effective communicator, detail oriented, listens to client needs and is quick to find answers, and most importantly--a strong negotiator. Max will work every marketing avenue possible to maximize a property's exposure to the market. I would highly recommend Max to anyone who is looking to buy a home, sell a home, or pursue an investment property. Thank you Max for making the home selling process as seamless as possible for us, and being there every step of the way!

Max was very professional and very patient with us and helped us out to find our beautiful home in RSM. He was very knowledgeable and pointed out many things that as a first time home buyer we had no clue about but he helped us and educated us about what to look for. I highly recommend him and his team. Thank you, Max, for working hard for us and finding us a place that we can call our home

Max Nejad is one of the most efficient, professional, and kind people I've ever met. He sold our property in a very timely manner with the best result possible. During the process of selling, his enthusiasm was unbelievable! I strongly recommend his Services in selling or buying a house for you!

Great experience. Honest and straightforward. Helped us negotiate and purchase our first home. We are really pleased how it all turned out. Thanks again.

Max is a consummate professional. He made the whole process of buying a home easy, efficient, and effortless. Max is the type of realtor that keeps clients informed and is transparent throughout each stage of buying a home. I highly recommend him and encourage all those interested in buying their next home to give Max a call.

I really enjoyed working with Max on finding an investment property earlier this year. I learned a lot about the real estate market and how to assess a properties value and potential thanks to Max's vast knowledge. We were able to pin point a beautiful property (through the vast, overwhelming options) with great income potential. I definitely will look forward to working with him again once I am ready to purchase my next investment property. Another HUGE plus, Max was able to simplify the lending process by getting me in touch with a reputable mortgage company that he works closely with. This was a huge time saver and stress reducer for me!

When I first started looking for houses I was lost and didn't know where to start, everyone I knew was either an agent or wanted to introduce me to one, I didn't know who to pick but I was optimistic AND I met Max. He found me the dream home with the price I only wished I could get. He is professional, punctual, and a good realtor but above all he was a genuine and caring gentleman that treated me and my concerns as his own. Wish u the best MAX.

I was purchasing a property in Yorba Linda and Max was extremely helpful through out the process. He referred me to a great lender and got me approved for my loan. He also contacted me every week till close of escrow. I highly recommend him for any type of real estate transaction.

Max is one of the very few agents that actually answers his phone or return phone calls and that it self is a huge benefit, he is very passionate about his work and he is very professional and knowledgeable. He patiently showed us over 30 houses and he made sure to not rush us till we found our dream home and we closed on it just 2 days ago..... highly recommended and I'm sure you'll be happy when you work with him Thank you Max we love our home

by Mike P. ,

As I was in search of someone who would be able to help me with their expertise in finding a house, I was referred to Max and all i have to say are positive things. I was very pleased with the services he offered and highly recommend him.

Max made my first home purchase as easy and smooth as ever. I really didn't have a clue as to where to start when first looking, so I looked on Yelp and Max came up in the top results. It's no surprise Max is at the top of Yelp's best realtors in Orange County. I am very busy, so good communication response was key for me. Max exceeded all expectations in what I was hoping for by constantly following up with me throughout the buying process. I know who I'll be going with next time I buy or sell, and I definitely would recommend Max to anyone who asks me.

Max is a top Notch Agent.... I was very impressed with the level of professionalism he provided to me and my family. His Knowledge about the local market and his explanation of selling process was great. He took his time and made certain I understood all the areas that are involved with selling a home. He comes with my highest recommendation!

by Lynn C. ,

Extremely Experienced! Wonderful guy! Caring and Kind. Max has knowledge of many areas of Irvine, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, Newport Coast and Laguna Beach. Knows the industry inside and out. Also understands flipping and getting the most out of the equity in your home. I would highly recommend.

I was fortunate enough to met Max. His personalty and professionalism impressed my wife and I so much that we know we were in good hands. When we decided to buy a home we turned to Max for his expertise and engaged him as our agent. We could not be happier with our decision. Max asked a number of questions to determine our key factors in looking for a new home. He helped us define what we wanted the most, and then help us navigate a difficult sellers market to find the right home. Max was responsive every time we contacted him on weekends and late into some evenings. He arranging showings that met our dream home and also got us into homes that were not yet on the market, He also refereed us to additional services that proved valuable, and finally finding us our new home. He was an excellent negotiator and was able to save us thousands of dollars when we finally closed the deal, despite multiple offers on the home. He continued to help us through the inspection process and continued to work on our behalf until the day we closed. I will for sure use Max again in the future and also refer my friends and family to him. You won't go wrong with Max. Thank you Max for making our dreams come true.

Max was essential in helping find my latest investment property. As soon as we met I was impressed by his professionalism. One thing that I love is that he is quick to respond to any communication I send him whether it's via text or email. He worked tirelessly until we found the right property. He is honest if he thinks something is not worth the price, I highly recommend Max for any real estate investments!

On April 2016 I did move to Orange County and was looking for a nice and decent property to rent in Irvin area. I am glad I found Max as my agent. He is really knowledgeable about housing market in Orange County area and most importantly he has passion about what he do . I highly recommend him if you are either looking to buy or renting property.

I was referred to Max by a friend when I expressed interest in buying a home. I couldn't believe how easy he made it to search for homes! We met and right off the bat he asked me about my preferences and budget so he knew what to look for. We saw countless homes together and he was so honest and gave really good insight on the condition of the homes we saw (things that I would NEVER have noticed!). Thank you, Max!!!!
