“Buying a home; especially a first home, is an incredibly stressful experience.  From the initial touring of homes, to placing an offer, to escrow and closing, the right agent can make all the difference in the world.  A good agent is one that is able to make the unfamiliar world of real estate palatable to the buyer.  He or she will be able to make the process of buying a home a smooth one by working with and educating the buyer at every step.  With the Mannion Group, we always felt that they had our best interest in mind--that they were working for us.  They were always responsive to any questions that we had and also extremely helpful in keeping us informed and taking us through the process step-by-step.  I would recommend the Mannion Group to anyone looking to buy a home.  They are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and always willing to help.  We could not have asked for anything more in our first home buying experience.”

"I recently purchased my first home, and the Mannion Group played a big role in making that happen.  It's hard to know who to trust your first time out, but not only did they make me feel comfortable right away, they had my back the entire time.   Shannon patiently showed me well over two dozen homes, and even took me back to see some of them several times while I made my decision.  She offered me great advice and the benefit of her personal experiences so that I would be happy with my home not only at closing, but for years to come.  Once the offers were made, the Mannion Group was on top of all the details, and went well out of their way to make sure all my needs were met.  They professionally handled a sticky situation with a seller's agent and took it upon themselves to make it as easy and painless for me as possible.  The Mannion Group did a fantastic job, and I can't think of a single thing they could have done better.  I highly recommend Shannon and the Mannion Group to anyone looking to buy a home.  You would be hard pressed to find a better agent, as well as a friend."

“We were completely satisfied with our Mannion Group experience.  Thanks for doing what you did for us.  You were always professional and ethical – we knew we could trust you with everything!  Thank you for being patient and persevering.  We had a great experience.  Everyone on the team was excellent, professional and willing to meet our needs.  You guys are our realtors for life!”

“From the moment we first contacted Shannon , she was very accessible & timely.  She agreed to meet us at the property within minutes despite what else she might have had on her agenda on a Sunday afternoon.  The Mannion Group continued to impress us with their professionalism, knowledge, preparedness, enthusiasm & thoughtfulness.  They were aggressive and fast – always getting fair, reliable results with a quick turn around.  Everyone we worked with was nice and willing to assist with any questions we had.  Even after we moved into our new home, our realtor & the Mannion Group continued to impress us with their thoughtful gifts and calls to ensure that our needs were met.  Overall, a superb job!”

“We would like to this opportunity to both thank the Mannion Group and to relate our wonderful experience with them during the recent sale of our Rancho Carrillo home. Deborah Mannion and her group of real estate professionals were an absolute "dream team".  In fact, we had originally chosen a different broker who was simply not "getting it done".  Finally, after several months of poor results (no results actually), even worse communication, and lax representation, we switched to Deborah Mannion and the Mannion group. The difference was immediate and immense.

 From the moment we sat down with Deborah and Shannon to sign the listing agreement, we felt that professional difference. Within a few days, our home was professionally staged and several suggestions to improve its "showing" had been implemented. In fact, we enjoyed our home’s improvement and new look right away.

 Within a week, the house was being shown and buyers were expressing interest.  The Mannion Group always kept us informed and walked us through the entire process.  Ultimately, the sale of our home was a success. It was amazing; like night and day compared to our previous broker. Thank you Deborah, Shannon and the Mannion Group!

 It is our sincere feeling that if you have a home to sell or are seeking one to buy, you will not find better, more professional representation than the Mannion Group. They were not only respectful, informative and productive; but extremely nice and well prepared - ALWAYS.”

I am an out of the area real estate agent (from Orange County ), who was looking for just the right property for my son.  We both felt extremely fortunate to work with Shannon, Deborah and Candice.  Their professionalism, communication and follow up were THE BEST.  I was thoroughly impressed!

 


Eddie, Robyn & Aly

Shannon, Deborah & Candice ~ Thank you for everything.  We will definitely recommend you all to anyone and everyone!  You always kept a great attitude and met every challenge with a smile.  During the whole process, your consistency and professionalism impressed us.  You understood our personal style and worked to get us what we wanted.  We appreciate all of your hard work.

 


Alex & Kristin

Thank you so much for helping us to not only buy our first home- but the house of our dreams! As first time home owners, never thought we would be able to afford a house in Southern California- but you helped us find one that is brand new! We are just amazed that we will be able to pick out features we like- and stay within our budget. Honestly, we never would have been able to find this place, or negotiate with the builder without you. We are looking forward to continue working with you as we complete the buying process.

     We are so grateful to the Mannion Group for handling every facet of our real estate transactions with the highest degree of professionalism! In the past, we have been party to several real estate transactions with other agents that left us feeling like things were not handled the way we liked. This changed when we hired Shannon to represent us with the sale of our home. She is an expert in her field and made us feel like our interests were her top priority. She sold our home and had Candice, her transaction coordinator, handle all of the paperwork and details. Candice is fantastic! She let nothing get by; all details were handled on time, in an effective manner. The next step of our journey was to find a new home, and we were interested in new construction. That is where Deborah came in: she is an OUTSTANDING negotiator. Once we decided which home we wanted, she took it from there. She negotiated more than we had ever thought possible.  Shannon and Deborah will be our agents indefinitely. They come with the highest recommendation that we can offer!

 In a seller’s market, when inventory is low, being a real estate agent is easy. But those listing agents that can sell a house in less than 30 days in a buyers market are truly exceptional. And exceptional is the perfect way to describe Whitney Fields and the entire team at Masters Real Estate Group.
 
We needed to sell quickly as we were moving out of state in the summer of 2008. The advice we were getting from other agents didn’t give us much hope. We were told that we weren’t going to get the equity we needed to purchase our new home and that we weren’t going to sell in the time frame that we needed to move. At one point we were considering renting out our home and renting a home in our new city. We were deflated and confused, until we met Whitney Fields.  After a quick walk through and tour, she looked us both in the eye and told us that she could sell our house in OUR time frame AND in the pricing window we were hoping for.
 
As an accredited staging professional she turned our home into a model home with very little out of pocket expenses, and in a matter of days our home was amazingly staged and ready for showing.  In less than two week we got our offer, and during escrow Whitney made herself available so we could move and start our new life in our new city.
 
Whitney not only calmed our fears but exceeded our expectations ten times over. The rest of the Masters Real Estate Group pitched in and helped with closing and all involved were professional and easy to work with.  We give Whitney Fields and Masters Real Estate Group our full endorsement and highest recommendation. If you are looking for the hardest working, professional, and market savvy team of real estate professionals, then look no further than Whitney Fields and the Masters Real Estate Group.
 
If you still aren’t convinced, get my number from Whitney and we’ll tell you in person, we’ll be happy to share our experience with you.

 In February 2008 my wife and I decided to sell our home in Carlsbad, Ca located in the Ranch Carrillo community.  At this time the real estate values were declining and we decided to interview several Realtors familiar with our community to get their perspective and guidance.   We chose the The Mannion (Masters?) Group to sell our home.   Deborah Mannion and Shannon Blas came to the interview extremely well prepared demonstrating to us a level of professionalism beyond that of their competitors.  While Deborah took the point for the sale of our home we actually received the benefit of a team of people.  Candice Mellor, patiently guided us through the maze of paperwork required to sell our home.  Shannon advised us on how to arrange our home and provided us with their own staging materials to enhance our home furnishings which made it more inviting to the potential buyers.  In a good market anyone can sell but in a declining market it takes creativity and ingenuity along with professionalism and experience to be successful.  It took almost 6 months to sell our house and we could not be happier with everything the Mannion (Masters?) Group did for us.  We followed their lead and we received a higher than average price per square foot for our home compared to other homes in our community.  Some of what we learned from them about selling our home we applied to buying a new home in South Carolina.  We not only recommend; we wouldn't hesitate to work with Mannion (Masters) Group anytime in the future.  They are more than a group, they are a team!
