    Client Testimonials
    ★★★★★
    "Brandon and Janelle are the go to team in Corona Del Mar, Newport Beach and the surrounding communities!! We just closed on our house and there were multiple competing offers. I truly believe we would not have gotten the home if it weren’t for their experience and their relationship with other agents. We couldn’t be happier with the service and the follow up. Highly recommend them!! " - Louis V.

    ★★★★★
    "Engaging The File Group was hands-down the best decision we could have made when searching for our new home. Janelle and Brandon were not only super informative, insightful, patient and willing to roll with us as we figured out what we wanted, but they also made the entire process as simple and streamlined as it could possibly be, from search to offer to negotiation to mortgage application to inspection to closing. And, even after closing, they consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed and were happy with our new home. I have regularly and confidently recommended The File Group to my family and friends — all of whom have had glowing reviews of their own. " - Chris B.

    ★★★★★
    " The File Group is a team that operates on another level! From helping us think through the entire selling process and set our asking price, to going above and beyond with digital marketing, open houses, and immediate follow-up with interested parties, to providing deep, informative progress reports, and then finalizing the sale terms, The File Group is simply the best we have EVER worked with! We had a fantastic experience as sellers with them, and we are confident we secured the best price with their guidance and support. The File Group in a word...EXCELLENCE!" - David H.

    "Janelle & Brandon and were extremely professional from start to finish. I would highly recommend their team to help you sell your home. They sold my home in record closing time. I am not sure any other team could have done what they did. They are the best team Corona del Mar" - Greg C.

    ★★★★★
    "Janelle was great to work with on the sale of my property. She was able to find a lot of potential buyers in a short time, and was always honest with me in communicating what the buyers felt about my property. There was absolute trust on both Janelle's side as well as mine, and that will always make any business transaction a successful one. She handled everything in an expedient, thoughtful manner, and completed the sale successfully. There is no one else I would rather work with in Corona Del Mar and the surrounding area." -
    Brad

    ★★★★★
    "If you are looking for an honest, professional, full-service team, look no further. Janelle helped us purchase a home and facilitated a seamless, smooth process going above and beyond for us as we lived out of town. Janelle's previous clients have used her repeatedly for multiple house transactions. We feel so fortunate to have met her as we know she will help us with all of our future housing needs in Orange County." - Josh. F
