Testimonials

“Throughout my 40+ years of buying and selling homes, and working with probably as many realtors, I have never worked with a team that made me feel like I was in such good hands. Prior to meeting you both, I had been interviewing many realtors to determine if now was the right time to sell. Every one of them told me their suggested price of my home – which were all in line with what had previously sold. Of course, like many sellers, I felt my home was clearly unique and special above others in the neighborhood, and I wasn’t willing to entertain selling at this price.

You worked your magic and somehow managed to get me the highest price in the history of my neighborhood…in 4 days! You have not only raised the bar for all others, but you’ve set an entirely new bar. Your dedication and absolute obsession with providing an unparalleled experience continued to surprise and delight me throughout the entire process. I can honestly say choosing you both is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I will never use another realtor and Team Noonan is the team for me! Thank you both so much for everything you’ve done!”.

“Helena worked with my wife and I through a very sensitive negotiation. She recommended a very specific approach toward house hunting preparation that paid off during the heat of the transaction. Despite significant barriers, she was able to deftly manage all of the complex conversations toward a winning outcome for both parties. With the completion of the successful negotiation, she carefully guided us through the home inspection process to ensure we were well represented and protected. Most importantly, she was very patient with us. We are extremely discerning in our home selection; our requirements are stringent and she was steadfast in her commitment to help us to find the right home. She showed us homes from Newport Coast to San Clemente and everywhere in between. She was always ready to continue the search without hesitation and with a productive attitude. Finally, we just like her. She’s a delightful person!”.

“Helena and Shawn provided me with expert advice that resulted in a pre-listing sale at more than my asking price, which was above $2 Million. I am an attorney so it was with some surprise that I realized Helena was providing me with savvy advice on the subject of negotiating! She could have gone for the easy deal but ended up squeezing out a significant amount of extra profit for me. I am very pleased and would earnestly recommend this team to any buyer or seller.”

“Good ears, on the ball, and proactive… That’s how we found our perfect home in a matter of weeks! They made the process seamless from start to finish and impressed us with their attention to detail. The Noonan Team delivered and had a perspective of what we were looking for from the first time we met. Letters were sent out to homeowners of a specific neighborhood we desired at first task. And although we knew the surrounding areas, they helped us make a thorough decision. Never had so much fun buying a home and sincerely appreciate their courtesy, professionalism, knowledge, and patience. Thank you Shawn and Helena!”.

“We cannot thank you enough for the amazing support and care we received in selling our home and purchasing our new home in Dana Point. We often think back to our first offer and we realize how God blessed us not only with a gifted real estate agent, but also with an incredible “husband-wife” team that worked seamlessly together. Between several contingent offers and the unique negotiations that our old home required, we couldn’t have received better service and professionalism. Thank you for making a long and difficult process enjoyable. We absolutely love our new home and couldn’t be happier with the move to this beautiful area. We are truly grateful for all of your work and your friendship. A ‘million thanks’ does not seem like enough”.

“When we first met Helena we immediately felt comfortable…as if we were talking to a friend. Her enthusiasm, professionalism, and in-depth understanding of the market made a complicated transaction seem routine. Her client-oriented approach setup the ideal negotiating platform that produced results far beyond our expectations. Helena is a consummate professional who achieved outstanding results on the sale of our home.”

“I am so thankful that my husband and I chose Helena Noonan and her team to sell our home. It was a wise decision. They went above and beyond my expectations and were great examples of professionals in action. Having a background in real estate myself, it was important that my agent be able to answer questions a typical seller doesn’t ask. I was impressed with the breadth of Helena’s knowledge and found myself learning from her. She and her team cared about me and my home as if I was part of their family.”

“Helena is one of the best agents I have ever worked with. Her professionalism and passion for what she does far exceeds expectations. I worked with Helena as a buyer on a very difficult transaction riddled with complications. She is a quick thinker and fast action problem solver. She went above and beyond to keep my deal alive as circumstance after circumstance arose in our transaction that, with most any other agent, would have fallen apart. Her communication skills and calm demeanor put both all parties at ease during what could have been a disaster. It is so refreshing to find an agent with such excellent communication skills and integrity. I look forward to doing many more deals with Helena!”

“From our first introduction to the close of escrow, Helena and Shawn gave me every reason to trust that I would experience complete satisfaction with the sale of my home. Their extensive market analysis of comparable sales led to an asking price that met my expectations yet also was attractive to buyers. Then, by helping to tastefully stage my home, they created marketing materials that showed off my home in its most beautiful light. With attention to every detail, they created inviting Open Houses that immediately attracted qualified buyers. And although I know their negotiation skills were stellar, what gave me tremendous peace of mind was that they never called me with an issue without first arriving at a solution. I never had experienced such a seamless selling process and wholeheartedly recommend Helena and Shawn for all your real estate needs.”

“Helena represented me in a sale that was one of the most complex and difficult transactions I have ever been involved in. Everything that could have gone wrong with this deal…DID. She remained calm during the storm and her ability to understand and communicate was the difference maker. The way she was able to negotiate with all parties and keep the deal together really surprised me. I can’t imagine that I would have completed the sale of my home without her. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor.”

“I worked with Helena on the purchase of my beautiful new home in San Clemente. She was an outstanding professional. She made me very comfortable during the process and she was always available when I needed her. I have already recommended her to some of my close friends. Thank you Helena for everything you have done to help me.”

“You two delivered on every promise, from not letting us get stressed out about the sale, to selling our home at a price that we were comfortable with. You said that this was the right time to sell and you were right! With one open house and a week or two of showings, we were in escrow…above our asking price! You two took what is supposed to be one of the top 5 stresses in life and made the process seem seamless. There were no sleepless nights or worries. You two took great care of us while you worked your magic behind the scenes. You negotiated and represented us and our home very well, from the listing to the beautiful pictures to the gardener that made the front and back of the yard gorgeous.Most important is that you made us feel like our house was just as important as the million dollar homes that you sell.It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and I can’t thank you enough for taking such good care of us!”

“We are extremely satisfied with the results of the sale of our house and Helena Noonan as the listing agent. She staged everything well and the house looked like a model home whenever potential buyers came to see it. The pictures she had taken of our house actually made us question why we would want to sell such a beautiful home. Once we had offers in hand she did all of the negotiating and kept us well informed. She is very confident in her abilities to get you the most for your house. She is straightforward and makes you comfortable in her dealings. We would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future.”

“Helena and Shawn Noonan are experts in the Real Estate market place here in Southern California and beyond. After working together with her and Shawn I’m impressed to say the least. They got us the results we were looking for in record time. I would recommend them and Sotheby’s to anyone with real estate needs.”
