Hear from my clients

Our clients love working with us, just read what they have to say!

This review is LONG overdue but has been on my checklist to ensure to do as Gary was an amazing real estate agent for my first place. He was extremely patient with my indecisive self, and trucked all over Southern California with the various options of areas I could potentially live in. Gary was honest about the areas safety, as I'd be living alone. He was also very responsive, punctual, professional and overall a great positive demeanor. Even post-purchase, he responds to my needs (plumber, window guy, lender recommendations). I would 100% recommend him for your home shopping!

Wow, where do we start?! Finding a home was always in the back of our minds, but just the thought of the entire process sounded exhausting and stressful. And then we had Gary Elvidge help us, and WOW did he make everything so easy for us! He provided us with exceptional service, dedication, and hard work. From driving us to view multiple houses to checking in with us daily - we quickly found our dream home! From the minute our sellers accepted our offer, Gary and his Team made going through escrow a breeze! That was most likely due to excellent communication - (with us being first time homebuyers) he explained exactly how escrow works, the entire process step by step, what to expect, and what we needed to provide. Our 30 days in escrow went by fast, and before we knew it, we had the keys in our hands! Whether you’re a first time homebuyer or an experienced homebuyer, we highly recommend you have Gary help you! I know for a fact we only found our forever home because of him.

Gary was nothing short of extraordinary in every step of our home-buying process. He knows Huntington Beach inside and out, and his creative negotiating skills helped us avoid a bidding war and score the home of our dreams! He dropped everything to show us the home within hours of listing and process a same-day offer. He was also extremely attentive and professional throughout the escrow period. He kept us updated at every step, checked in often to make sure we were on track, and went above and beyond to make sure all of our questions were addressed. In addition to his expertise, he is also honest, hilarious and fun to work with! For all of this, we couldn’t more highly recommend Gary. I am certain that we would not be living in our dream home right now if it weren’t for him. If you are looking to buy a home, look no further than Gary Elvidge to accomplish that. Thank you Gary!!!

I am a realtor in Washington State. Gary helped my daughter purchase her first home in Fountain Valley. He was OUTSTANDING! He went above and beyond his duty as a realtor. He really cares about his clients. He answered every question we had, countlessly reassuring my daughter (as this was her first purchase.) The best thing about Gary is his honesty. My daughter was on a tight budget. He could of told us many properties we sent to him would be great to buy. But he did not. He was HONEST and told us if it was a bad & unsafe area, bad schools or bad resale. He could of NOT told us that and had her in a home alot sooner. We really admired that about him. She will definitely use him again, as I will in the future. I will also refer him to ANYONE I know that is thinking of purchasing/selling something in S. Cali. Thank you Gary!

Gary and the team at Sackin/Stone did an amazing job. The Sackin team were good listeners and problem-solvers that got quick, desired results. Communication was also top notch. I met with several potential agents. Gary and his team were the most impressive regarding designing an approach that fit my needs. Our transaction was particularly challenging because of its nature and the property itself. Gary delivered on all counts. If you are thinking about hiring someone, you should give Gary a call and see for yourself if they listen and problem-solve better than the competition. They really stand behind their commitments. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Gary and his team.

Our family wants to give endless thanks to Gary from the Sackin Stone Team for helping us sell our home and make the purchase and transition to our forever home as easily and kindly as possible. Gary is respectful and capable and we felt incredibly comfortable trusting him as our realtor. If you’re looking for someone to take care of you through your selling or buying process, he will provide you with intention and timeliness. Thank you again, Gary.

  We had a great first time home-buying experience with Tawny and the Sackin-Stone team! Tawny explained the process very thoroughly and was able to help us come up with creative solutions to put in our best offers. She was patient, met us regularly at open houses and got us in for private viewings, and gave us excellent referrals for completing the process. The rest of the team was available when needed and very helpful! We are super happy with our purchase and working with Sackin-Stone!

  Lane, Philip, and the whole team are amazing. They were super knowledgeable, patient, and are willing to come to bat for you.

Before meeting Lane, I honestly did not think we were going to find a place in California, especially within commuting distance to our offices. It took a while, with constant encouragement from Lane telling us not to settle, but we ending up finding our dream home and I don’t think we would have found it without him.

I highly recommend the Sackin-Stone Team and definitely will recommend them to everyone I know.

  I had the pleasure of working with Tawny and she is an exceptional realtor who truly exceeded my expectations. Her professionalism and knowledge of the housing market were outstanding. She listened attentively to my needs and preferences, ensuring that she only presented properties that met my requirements. I highly recommend Tawny Patrick with Sever Gables to anyone seeking expert guidance and a stress-free real estate journey.

  The Sackin Stone team were fantastic to work with. Our realtor was Winston Yeh and beyond the exceptional service and dedication he demonstrated it always felt like there was a larger team working hard to help us throughout the process. We sold our house and bought a new one and they held our hand through everything, providing detailed timelines, setting realistic expectations and then working hard to exceed them. I can’t say enough good things about our experience working with them.

  For a HOMERUN, go to Sackin-Stone Team!!  I referred two separate RE transactions to Lane Stone because he is an expert in real estate and knows how to serve the client. The service my referrals (one was local and the other in Florida) received was
top notch and flawless. Whether you are buying or selling in Huntington Beach or California or another state, you should START WITH LANE!  He will lead you in the right direction.

  Lane Stone was responsible for Tawny Patrick being my real estate agent in California. I had a near immediate necessity for moving for a family situation.
Lane placed me with Tawny who was fantastic with executing the process of selling my place in Costa Mesa.
Lane was again asked to find a real estate person in Florida to take control of the process of putting together a plan to sell my father’s home in Naples. He selected Kelly Hammons who again gave me the plan, helped follow the plan and complete the sale in a very short period of time.
Lane chooses quality representatives.
Thank you!

  I just wanted to take a moment to say how awesome and happy I am with the most amazing experiences I’ve had with Phillip, Scott, and the whole Sackin team with regards to my home transactions. They have gone above and beyond at times when I felt they didn’t need to and that’s the kind of level that you’ll receive when thinking of another person or company representing you.  Please keep them in mind cause the old saying is “you get what you pay for” and when you use this team you are getting all 100% of their players for your team!!

  Late last year I decided it was time to downsize. Since I have known Scott Sackin and Philip Talbert for 30 years, I knew that Philip Talbert of Sackin-Stone would be the realtors I wanted to represent me. Philip, from the very beginning listing my home of 30 years to finding a new home in a senior community had my best interests as a priority. He listened, made suggestions, and made sure the whole process went smoothly. I couldn’t have made this big change in my life without his guidance and the support of the Sackin-Stone staff.

  We were fortunate enough to work with Winston and Lane, as well as the rest of their team, in the search of a new home for our family. While we primarily worked with Winston, every person we spoke to was friendly and knowledge.

In a market that can easily make buyers feel defeated, Winston not only got us our home, but made sure we didn’t settle in the process. Winston is responsive, thoughtful, punctual and genuinely a person with whom you don’t mind seeing five listings in a row on a hot summer day.

Even after we closed on our home, Winston and Lane went above and beyond to ensure we were supported and taken care of. Thank you Winston, Lane and the rest of the team for making this process as painless as possible - our family is incredibly grateful!
