I recently used the Neeleys to sell my home in Irvine, and I could not be more pleased with the experience. Because I had already moved to Maryland, I needed agents who were exceptionally hands-on and capable of managing the process remotely. In addition, the house had been a rental property for years and required significant repairs and updating before it could be listed. The Neeleys exceeded my expectations in every way and made what could have been a stressful process remarkably easy. From the very beginning, they developed a clear plan for preparing and marketing the property. Every step of the process was handled promptly, professionally, and with careful attention to both quality and cost. They kept me informed throughout, were always available to answer questions, and were incredibly conscientious about coordinating work and addressing issues while I was across the country. I placed a great deal of trust in Valerie's judgment regarding improvements that would maximize the home's appeal and value, and every recommendation proved to be exactly right. The Neeleys have an outstanding sense of what buyers are looking for and know how to make a property stand out in the market. They also have an excellent network of contractors who perform high-quality work at very reasonable prices. The scope of the renovations was substantial, including replacing all flooring, enclosing the staircase, remodeling the primary bathroom, addressing electrical and plumbing issues, painting the entire house, and installing new light fixtures and ceiling fans. The Neeleys coordinated the work, monitored its progress, inspected the completed projects, and kept me informed every step of the way. I was consistently impressed by both the quality of the work and the overall cost. Their professionalism and communication were exceptional. I honestly cannot remember a time when they did not respond to a call, text, or email within minutes. They handled everything from staging and marketing to vetting potential buyers and negotiating offers. I was especially impressed by Valerie's eye for design and staging, which made the home look its absolute best. Perhaps most importantly, the Neeleys are simply wonderful people to work with. Selling a home requires a tremendous amount of trust, and throughout the entire process I always felt confident that they were looking out for my best interests. They are knowledgeable, hardworking, responsive, and genuinely committed to their clients' success. I give the Neeleys my highest possible recommendation. If you are looking for real estate agents who combine expertise, professionalism, outstanding communication, and personal integrity, I do not believe you could find a better team.

The Neeleys are by far the best people within the entire real estate industry and you can't convince me otherwise. They work so well as a team and are able to provide so much value to every interaction. They have been our realtors for almost 7 years now and have helped us buy our first home and sell our first home too. They have a wide range of knowledge, and they are professional, but can also make things fun. They have great resources that can help anyone reach their real estate goals regardless of the size of the endeavor. I'm so thankful to have them as a part of my team and consider them family. I would 1000% recommend them to everyone.

If you are looking for a Team to assist you with either purchasing or selling a home, look no further - Team Neeley is the way to go. My husband and I have known Valerie and Allen for many years on a personal level but have never utilized them professionally. We had a few realtors that we were thinking about using and ultimately selected them because of the following. They absolutely blew us away with the professionalism and high level of service. They coordinated a time with us to meet for the initial consultation that fit our schedule. Came to our home (which is about an hour from them), presented us with a PowerPoint and materials on what services First Team offers to their clients, and gave us a tailored plan on how to get the most value out of our home when selling. They have at their fingertips an internal network of realtor teams that have special access to your listing, and marketing materials that will blow you away. We planned ahead before listing. We decided that we needed to do a rent back, to coordinate with the purchase of our new home and to coincide with the end of the school year before we could move. Valerie used her expertise to time everything perfectly. We had flyers mailed out, a virtual tour of our home done, along with a drone video, premium staging of our home and fantastic photographs taken. Once the home was listed, we had open house and were in escrow after 3 days. Valerie and Allen offer a service that is second to none. They are professional and take care of the details of the transaction. They offer you the peace of mind that things are being done correctly and only share with you the necessary solutions. I really appreciated that. I’ve had friends who’ve used other agents that will bring them problems but no solutions. Team Neeley is solutions oriented and this is their lively hood. They aren’t doing real estate on the side but it is their career and passion. Look no further, you will not be disappointed.
