As a first-time renter after many years of homeownership, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the lengthy and tedious rental process in Southern California—but working with Gabriela Jansen and the team at Mike Dunfee Group, our experience was completely changed for the better. From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me understand each step. Her and her team took the time to explain details that might seem obvious to seasoned renters but were new to me, and she made sure I felt confident in every decision along the way. What really stood out was how far she went beyond the basics. Whether it was answering questions outside of normal hours, providing helpful insights about the local market, or proactively addressing potential concerns before they became issues, her level of care and professionalism was exceptional. Thanks to Gabriela and the Dunfee Group's support, what could have been a more stressful transition turned into a manageable, streamlined experience. I truly felt like she had my best interests in mind at every stage and I would highly recommend her and Mike Dunfee Group to anyone—especially those navigating the rental process for the first time. The view from our new apartment is spectacular!

This review is only for LBMC: LBMC handled all the work needed after our tenant moved out. Joel made a thorough list of repairs needed as well as pictures of the move-out condition. As the property was not left in good condition, this was very useful in calculating the security deposit deduction. The LBMC crew did an excellent job completing all the work order items. A special shout out to the cleaning team for restoring the property after the tenant left it in horrible condition. The stains they removed from the kitchen—particularly the stove and cabinets—were amazing! Joel was a pleasure to work with. He not only responded promptly to all my texts, but he went over and beyond to help resolve any issues or additional work that was added, like replacing all the carpet with vinyl planks. Joel even took care of a couple of issues resulting from a different vendor. LBMC made sure that I was happy and satisfied with all the work needed to prepare our property to be put back on the market.

We had the pleasure of working with Joel Loya as our general contractor for our home renovation in Seal Beach, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Joel delivers high-quality work at a very reasonable price, and his attention to detail truly stands out. He provided valuable guidance on materials and design, while also being open to all of my ideas and incorporating them thoughtfully into the final plan. That balance made the whole process feel collaborative and stress-free. He also went above and beyond by shopping around to find the best prices on appliances, which I really appreciated. Throughout the project, Joel worked efficiently and kept me consistently updated on progress. Any time I had questions or concerns, he responded the same day without fail. Overall, the experience was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations. I'm extremely pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Joel and his team to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled contractor.
