John and Diane Cirignani

John Cirignani is a competent, hard-working agent that understands Orange County real estate. I had a deal where the agent was looking to work with an experienced realtor and he knew John and that helped secure the deal. The process proved to be very easy. He will give you good advice and has a pretty good knowledge of different home features. He would often follow up on tasks without being asked, knowing that as a home buyer there are so many things to manage. He would come to all appointments and would swing by the house at all times of day (including weekends) if he was needed. He also secured high quality inspectors, including a general contractor and chimney specialist in rapid pace and took care to be there when I couldn't. He even met with a neighbor following a conversation and climbed a steep, overgrown hill to help determine the property lines and uncover another issue unknown to us. He is ethical, straightforward and always on time. Would definitely work for him again.

To my great fortune, I found John and Diane Cirignani through the real estate web platform, Upnest. I was selling my family home in California, because my mom passed away. I was stuck in Germany during the pandemic, therefore, being able to select a real estate agent while 10,000 miles away, was a source of angst for me. But John and Diane made it easy. They coached me through what I had to do to prep the house for sale even 3 months before I got to California. I was particularly impressed that they would go to open houses within a few block's of my family home to really get a feel for the 'condition' of the homes being sold and at what price -- all in the effort to properly price my house for sale. They would keep me updated by email on new listings in my neighbourhood so that I was also well informed on the real estate market that was micro-specific to my property. Once I got to California and met with John and Diane, and looked them straight in the eye, I knew I hired the right pair for the job. They were honest, professional, and sensitive to the fact that I was selling my beloved mother's home. They staged the house beautifully, and they recommended small repairs that made a huge difference in getting an excellent price, which was sold above list price. Once the house was sold, that's where John and Diane really shined. We sold the house to a couple who were getting a VA loan, which has a much higher underwriting standard than other loans. Through every hiccup and hurdle, John and Diane got in front of every challenge. What I mean by this is, if there was a problem, I didn't even know about it until they already found a solution to the problem. This probably saved me several sleepless nights!!! In the end, escrow closed and there were no big surprises, no drama, only a very happy ending. We, the sellers got an above-asking price for the house and the buyers got to buy their dream home. I highly recommend John & Diane Cirignani. They are truly the salt of the earth. I will never forget them.

Fantastic agents from start to finish. Very friendly, always in communication, responded almost immediately to all our questions. Worked well with buyer's agent to make this a smooth process for all parties.

Excellent from start to finish. Really took the time to understand our needs, and be sure we found the perfect place. Very strongly recommend John and Diane.

John and Diane were wonderful to work with during this challenging market. We are so happy with them and our new home.
