“Zen and his team were great to work with in helping us buy our first house. We worked with Zen and his team for over a year and the advice given throughout, really helped us ensure that we were making the right decision when we finally made our purchase. What I most enjoyed with working with Zen and his team was the knowledge and the honesty in whether or not it made sense for us to move forward. The reason it took over a year is at the beginning, we honestly couldn’t afford to buy and Zen and his team were honest in telling us that. They also continued to follow up to see if our situation changed and let us know that they were there for us. We will definitely use them in the future.”

“Zen and whole Z Team did a magnificent job on the sale of our house in Lake Forest. They were all very profession, responsive, and easy to work with.
Zen’s marketing strategy was superb and drew a lot of viewers to the open house. We received 9 offers within days and many of them were over the asking price. Zen and Laura helped us to obtain and pick the highest, best and most qualified offer for our house. They are very experienced and savvy.
We listed on May 1st and escrow closed before the end of the month. The whole process was smooth and painless from beginning to end. We would not hesitate to recommend Zen and the Z Team to friends and family.”

“We felt very taken care of with Chuck. He is professional, thorough and very knowledgeable so we trusted him through every step of the way. The escrow process can be a stressful time with a lot of details to keep track of and important questions to ask, but with Chuck as our agent we were relaxed and knew we could trust any advice he gave us – that is so important!” — Maryam F.

“YOUR NEGOTIATING SKILLS ARE WITHOUT EQUAL! Nigel and I would just like to say thank you for selling our house in double quick time and for a great deal! Given our sudden departure out of state, we really admire and appreciate the excellent feedback you gave us along the way regarding the open house activity, prospective interest and then your navigating the various offers. Your negotiating skills are without equal!”

“The Z Team makes buying a home so simple and easy! Zen, Steven, Leland and Mindy go above and beyond to make sure the home buying process is enjoyable and fun. Zen and his team take a different approach to real estate and we were very impressed.
As a first time home buyer, you’re always worried about something. With the Z Team, we were always in the know! Whenever we called, emailed or texted; we got very fast, if not immediate responses. We sat down with the team, went through the home buying contract and talked about everything we could expect during the process. The Z Team has processes in place to give the buyer/seller reassurance as to where they are in the process. I’ve never seen a team so organized. As a whole, they have over 40 years worth of real estate knowledge!
Once we gave them the criteria of the home we were looking to purchase, they went to work on the MLS. We NEVER aimlessly drove around looking for homes for sale. We ALWAYS had a list of homes we were going to see, which fit our criteria. Leland always came prepared with documentation and the best driving route so we maximized our time.
It was a short 30 days before we put an offer in. Zen helped us strategically craft an offer that the buyer couldn’t refuse. Zen and his team went to bat for us in everything they did. They went above and beyond what a realtor is responsible for. We were renting a property and still had a month left. The Z Team helped us get out of our lease AND they showed the home to other renters. They handled that entire process as well!
I can’t begin to express my gratitude to Zen, Steven, Leland and Mindy. Everybody always said that buying a home was difficult and stressful… NOT with the Z Team! Thanks again!”

“I CAN’T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS TO WORK WITH CHUCK. I just bought my dream house with Chuck Harper as my agent. I can’t say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Chuck. He had my back during the entire house buying process and he helped me negotiate to get a good price for the house I really wanted to buy. He is very friendly, knowledgeable, professional, punctual, helpful, & an all around a great guy and the perfect person to be on my side during the entire process. Chuck kept me very informed and up to date during the entire escrow and he also recommended and arranged a great inspector that was very thorough and charged less than most so even this was so easy for me as the buyer. I highly recommend Chuck Harper and his entire team for purchasing a home in Orange County. I will be selling my current home soon and I will definitely use Chuck as my listing agent.”

“Working with Zen and his team was awesome!!! From my first meeting with Zen they made it all about me. They wanted to know about my family and our hobbies. Our likes and dislikes, to get an idea of what homes to show. They hit it dead on the head the first time out. The minute I stepped foot into the second home they showed me I knew it was the one. I love my new home and am excited for everyone to see it. Thank you to the Z Team for giving my family a wonderful home for new life experiences and growth.”

“CHUCK IS AN EXCEPTIONAL AGENT, I CAN’T SPEAK HIGHLY ENOUGH OF HIM. We were planning to sell our home. We saw a home that sold very rapidly in our area and Chuck’s name was on the sold sign. We got his number off the sign and gave him a call we listed our home immediately with him. Our home has sold and closed!! Chuck is an exceptional agent I can’t speak highly enough of him. Chuck had an open house every Saturday and Sunday from 1-4 and that’s exactly how we sold our home. So when he tells you, that you need to have an open house, trust him.Chuck is so patient he never lost his patience with us no matter what we asked of him, or how nervous we were. He is one of the most ethical and honest men you’ll ever meet and he will always have your best interest at heart.Chuck is a “preeminent professional”, having him as our agent was one of the best decisions we have ever made. We appreciate all he did for us, use him to sell your home you won’t be disappointed!!!”

He will certainly be my agent for life.”

“Zen and his team were wonderful during the selling process. I was kept apprised of everything that was happening and if I had a question or concern, it was always answered in a timely manner. I was at work most days during this process and the Z Team helped remove any anxiety that I had. Their knowledge of the real estate market was awesome. They kept me on track, had taken beautiful professional pictures of my home, and staged a welcoming open house. My home received multiple offers and was sold above asking price. Thanks Zen, Mindy, Gigi and all the others behind the scenes. You have truly worked as a team to make my experience great. Thanks again.”

“CHUCK HARPER DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF LISTING AND SELLING MY HOME. Chuck Harper did an excellent job of listing and selling my home. He was patient with me as it took me some time to make the decision to sell but once I did, he was the consummate professional. He did a lot of research up front to discern the best sales price, and presented and delivered an excellent marketing plan. He kept me appraised of every step in the process which made me comfortable and relaxed from beginning to the end.

“These guys are awesome! As first time home buyers, we knew nothing about the process to search for and buy a new home. Zen, Leland and Team made it so easy (and even enjoyable) to find and buy the right home for us. They even walked us through the mortgage process, although this is typically a piece that falls on the lender. I can’t say enough great things about them. They’ve earned a customer for life. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy and/or sell.”

You’ll achieve your goals and your desired outcome like we did. We could have not been Happier with Zen and his Team. You’d be silly not to hire them.”

“Working with Z Team of OC at exceeded any of my expectations. Zen, Leland, Steven and Mindy are rock stars! As a first time home buyer, we were not familiar with the terminology or the best process people to involve. Right away, Zen and his team were incredibly friendly and took time to sit down with my fiance and I to determine what would be a good fit for us. We met on multiple occasions to go over the process and contract before we even look at homes. They even recommended multiple lenders in the area which we vetted out. This was a HUGE value add to us as we didn’t want to go through a big bank.
Z team was more than willing to meet us late in the evening, on the weekends and early in the morning. If we ever had a question about ANYTHING, we could email anybody on the team and we would get a response very fast. I truly believe his expertise helped tremendously in our offer getting accepted. I highly recommend Z Team!”

“CHUCK GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM A REAL ESTATE AGENT! Chuck is a true professional. Chuck helped me and my family tremendously with our first home purchase. He is a consummate professional as well as a good human being.Chuck tailed our experience to fit our family’s unique needs. With my line of work I tend to be busy and am scarce with time. He always fit into my schedule though he was busy empathizing with my situation with a busy work schedule and having 2 young kids. He understood my needs and ensured that he tailored the experience to fit my unique needs.If you need a real estate agent that truly cares for you and wants the best for you and your family go with Chuck. Chuck consistently goes above and beyond what a typical real estate agent would do because he CARES. A true gentleman by all means.”

“TRUST US…GO WITH CHUCK. We lucked out when a friend referred us to Chuck. My wife and two young kids were moving from the east coast to southern California, so getting this move right was a big deal.Several months before we flew out to look at properties we spoke with Chuck several times to review the attributes for our future home. He was always responsive and communicative.We flew out to California and had only three days to find a place. The short time crunch didn’t phase Chuck since he had been working behind the scenes well before our arrival.With Chuck’s help we quickly narrowed our search and soon thereafter the deal was done. Trust us…go with Chuck, you won’t regret it.”

“Our experience with Zen and his team was top notch from the moment they responded to our inquiry on one of their websites (which was within moments).
To say they exceeded our expectations would be an understatement: Zen’s communication, responsiveness, & genuine care for our best interest was extraordinary. We knew immediately that we were dealing with high-level professionals, and they never let us down through the entire roller-coaster ride of our home search. We have been raving about them from the beginning and will continue to do so. We simply cannot thank them enough.”

“BELIEVE ME, CHUCK IS THE BEST. If you are looking for someone who looks out for you, then Chuck is the best. I have purchased at least 20 homes from rental property to primary residence etc. I am pretty experienced in home buying and selling, and Chuck is the tops for looking out for you, as he really came through for me, when the chips were down.
In April, 2019 I bought a home in Anaheim using him as my agent. Let’s start with the offer. There were 3 offers on this wonderful home and 2 more waiting. Chuck was relentless in getting our position in 1st place. Early on, the contact with the other agent was vital in getting us considered 1st. We had a contingency to sell our home.
The buyers of our home also had a buyer, so our position was not ideal, but Chuck got us in there. It must have been just determination and his ability to connect with others. You will see once you speak with him.
Well, he made the connection, and we were on our way with a 35 day escrow, even though we had just accepted an offer on our home. During the escrow there were many instances where Chucks negotiating expertise came into play, like request for repairs, move in/out dates etc. Also as a sideline, the home inspector he has is phenomenal. I am a low voltage contractor and his guy did an exceptional job for me. Many inspection reports are full of fluff and BS. His inspection was on point, understandable and thorough, and was critical in my evaluation of the new home.
Next let’s talk about Possession. Possession usually takes place on close of escrow, so that means we would have to rent a hotel while the buyers of my buyers closed, then my buyers closed, and then I would close with the sellers of my house. I had possession of my current home close of escrow plus 3 days, which gave me some leeway. We also negotiated some extra time so that I did not have to rent a hotel and I had a day or 2 to get my new home ready. Chuck was in touch with my selling agent during the process to make sure I was covered with removing contingencies and possession etc.
So in order to not make this too long, I am grateful for Chuck’s determination, and his looking out for me and my wife during the 30 day escrow.
Just one last thing. I needed some help after the escrow closed with my home warranty company, and Chuck was there. This was a month after our transaction had closed. Believe me, Chuck is the BEST.”

“HE WAS THE PERFECT MAN FOR THE JOB! Chuck Harper was recently my listing agent for the sale of my condo in Aliso Viejo. He was the perfect man for the job because he helped me set the price, spent 2 weekends personally sitting there for open houses, had a wonderful photographer take great photos of my home that made it look it’s absolute best, printed great flyers & did everything a top notch professional Real Estate Agent does for a valued client. He helped me set the initial price, which was higher than any units had ever sold for in my community. My home did have the biggest & most attractive back yard with an amazing view in the entire community. His guidance & expertise helped us find a qualified buyer in less than a week and they didn’t just pay the list price but $1000.00 over list price! That’s a record high in my neighborhood.
I felt very confident that Chuck had my back all through the selling process and he kept me updated regularly. Overall I couldn’t be more pleased with my choice of having Chuck Harper my listing agent and I encourage anyone selling their home to list with Chuck and the Z Team at Keller Williams. The entire team helped me through the process from start to finish with Chuck as my Team Captain.
