Testimony & A Nod From John McMonigle
How about some bookmark love? ::
What does Orange County's power broker, and most elite real estate listing agent have to say about me?
When it comes to people asking whether to work with me or someone else he said,
"He should be your agent, he's better." In context, that's what he said when speaking about a young couple's agent in LA.
Allow me to explain the circumstances a little. First, when it comes to Orange County real estate everyone knows who John McMonigle is.
He currently has the most expensive listing in Orange County, the $75M "Portabella Estate" in Corona Del Mar.
He even appeared on Oprah to talk about it.
Yesterday he appeared at my Open House in Laguna Beach.
I have been holding an open house at 3 Lagunita, in the small community of the same name for an extended period of time.
Rain or shine, I have held this open house with the tenacity of a long distance runner training for the Ironman.
When John McMonigle came through my open house, he introduced himself as "John". I recognized his face, but until this point, I had never met him face to face. Part of my job as a great Real Estate Agent is to NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING, therefore I was correct in asking John first if he was an Agent himself.
The exchange went something like this,
ME: "So John, are you an Agent, or...."
John: "Yeah, I'm an Agent, and I build houses from time to time."
After that, John cruised around looking at the minute details of the property. He inspected the property with the enthusiasm of a fighter pilot doing a preflight check of a high performance jet.
When John turned to leave, a young couple entered, and they expressed reservations about entering an open house without their agent.
That's when John turned to them, motioned to me and said, "That's ok that you don't have your agent, use him, he's better." How did he know that, when this was our first face to face encounter?
He obviously subscribes to my blog.
