Charm is amazing! This review is a double whammy bc she helped me 1) sell my condo in Murrieta CA (which is my first review) AND 2) also helped me and my parents buy our dream home in Winchester CA! Charm always communicated updates and details to the selling and buying process via email, texts and phone calls or zoom. She answered every question that we had in a clear and direct manner. We hit a few bumps on the way but at no fault to Charm, it was d/t paperwork needed in a timely fashion from my condos HOA. Charm even went above and beyond by driving up to Murrieta from Chula Vista for those documents from the HOA. We had a few extensions on the closing dates but Charm worked it out so that I didn’t have to pay 2 mortgages! Charm really works her charm!! She really listened to what me and my parents desired in a hybrid home. She always wants the best for us and looks out for our best interests. She will work it out with you and make sure you are happy with the results! Buying a house can be stressful but I trust Charm and would highly recommend her to anyone out there looking to buy or sell their home! We love our new home! Thank you Charm!

ChooseCharm Anywhere & Anytime Because She DeliveredWe got married at the beginning of October 2023. Presumably it was a bad time to buy with crazy interest rates, but we were motivated having just been married. We reached out to Charm in late October and told her we wanted a house before the end of year. What a task, but what did she do? She closed us within 30 days before the holidays. I found her because I lived in San Diego where she’s one of the top real estate agents, but plot twist - we wanted to live in Riverside County specifically in the up and coming Eastvale area for my husband’s job. Not familiar with the area? No problem - her expertise allowed her to learn and adapt. She scheduled all the properties we were interested in seeing and made the trek to look at houses - always early or on time. She was super professional, educated us every step of the way on things to look out for, and listened to our wishlist. She immediately helped us put in an offer, but the sellers accepted a strange offer that Charm advised against and we were fortunate she guided us in the direction she did. The second set of tours we found our dream home that checked all our boxes and then some. She put our offer in first and advised us how to be the most competitive out of multiple offers with a buydown and offering a little extra time for them to finish moving across country, and it worked out perfectly. She even got them to throw in all the appliances and backyard furniture for free plus a year of home warranty. My husband and I were in different states when we signed all our documents, but she made sure we got all our paperwork done in time and answered our million questions we had in the process. She got the inspection scheduled quickly and when we got the keys to the house, she was thoughtful with hand-picked personalized gifts and a mini photoshoot. 10 out of 10 would recommend her and her trusted partners in San Diego, our very first home, and future homes to come - in any city.

As first time home buyers back in 2020, I was super nervous in purchasing my first home. Fast forward four years later, I was in the same position as I decided it was time to sell my home. I was referred to Charmaine Orcino-Gonazles as she has had a great reputation for selling homes. She had sold a home to one of my family members and all I heard were great things. I knew from the start, I'd want to proceed with Charmaine.Our first initial meeting with Charmaine went really great. We came up with a game plan from start to finish. She answered all my questions as I had so many being that it was my first time selling my home. She assured us that everything was going to be okay and great things will come with patience. We first listed our home to include having an open house on Labor Day weekend 2023. Charmaine believes presentation is key, so we set up our home perfectly for viewing pleasure. It looked like a model home! Anyhow, that weekend went really well because I believe 10-15 families combined came to look at the home. After our first open house, we were informed by Charmaine that a buyer was interested in our home and had already put in an offer. We were so surprised and was super happy that we accepted the offer. From there, we got the ball rolling. The selling process was moving pretty fast, but Charmaine kept us up to date and informed us at all times.As fate has it, we were informed by Charmaine that our buyers had pulled out last minute due to financial reasons. We were honestly devastated. We then sat down again once more to regroup and rethink of another plan which worked in our favor. We decided to take a hiatus and put our home on the market again in February of 2024.This time around, everything was going perfect and according to plan. Charmaine hosted another open house which brought more families in to view our home. It was then we found another buyer and the rest was history. Everything checked out perfectly between both parties and we were able to sell our home in March of 2024.I couldn't be any more happier with the results. I'm so happy I chose Charmaine because I know she will never give up on you or your family. She will always go above and beyond for you no matter what situation you're in. We never gave up. We believed in her and she believed in us that we were going to get the job done and that was to sell our first home.If you are looking to buy your first home or sell your home, I would recommend choosing Charmaine 100%! She will not let you down, guide you every step of the way, and most definitely get the job finished.
