Colin Farris

Colin came highly recommended to us by close friends of ours who had just bought their first home in Mission Viejo. This was also our first time dabbling in the home buying process, so my fiancé and I were a little hesitant and completely clueless on where to start. We needed A LOT of hand holding and guidance from the start. Colin far exceeded our expectations and made the process seamless and stress-free from start to finish. He answered every question we had (and it was a lot), was prompt in scheduling tours in a highly competitive market, and was responsive and available to answer our texts, calls, emails, etc. He is also very well versed and knowledgeable with the VA home loan process/ benefits and took on more than expected in this area, directly communicating with our lender at times to ensure nothing slipped through the cracks. Colin went above and beyond throughout the entire process. We toured 15-20 houses and he never once made us feel pressured to submit an offer. He was objective throughout the process and even brought up potential issues that we should pay attention to when assessing houses. Colin truly wanted us to find our perfect home, regardless of how long it took. Because of his knowledge and expertise, we ended up finding our DREAM home in San Juan Capistrano and will soon be in escrow. I can’t speak highly enough of Colin’s work-ethic. He is a highly experienced realtor in Orange County and beyond. You will not be disappointed if you go with him!

Colin Farris helped us purchase a home in Dana Point, which was an unfamiliar area to us, and we absolutely loved working with him. He is very knowledgeable about the housing market in OC and knows all the ins and outs of the various communities. He is also very open and honest about the house buying process. He helped us look at dozens of houses and often told us to wait and that the right house would come along, rather than advising us into purchasing something that wasn’t completely right for us. I very highly recommend Colin. He recommended great inspectors during escrow and all sorts of other service providers after we closed. He and his staff made a very daunting process go smoothly, and we couldn’t be happier that we chose Colin as our agent.

After 33 years in our home, raising a family, we decided to start a new chapter in our lives. Colin Farris came highly recommended by our daughter, who had just sold her home through Colin. Upon our first meeting, we immediately became comfortable with his calm demeanor, knowledge of the San Clemente/Dana Point/Laguna Niguel area, and passion for finding the us the right home. He listened intently to our story and our wish list, and was always patient, interested, and honest throughout the process. Colin used his keen knowledge of current real estate trends to educate us on the current market. For several months he kept an eye out for homes that fulfilled our list, and set up appointments for personal tours. His attention to detail during our visits to prospective homes was a valuable asset for us. In the end, we had made offers on two other homes, but opted out of escrow because of contingencies. When Colin showed us our home, it already had an accepted offer. He navigated us through the process of becoming the first back-up offer on the property. When the buyer stepped out of the offer, we were in escrow the next day. We’re delighted with our choice and that Colin was there to guide us. He continues to follow up with us after the sale to see how things are going. Colin Farris is a trusted asset to the real estate community, and we will be entrusting him to sell our present home. Collin has always gone above and beyond what we would have expected of him and as such we have great respect and admiration for his passion, honesty, complete professionalism and love of what he does. He is a real people person and cares about how his clients feel and what they want. He really listens carefully to his client’s and makes every effort to make their wishes come true. For us, Collin is more than a real estate agent. We feel we can call him a friend. There aren’t enough words to describe the wonderful experience we have had with Collin and couldn’t imagine recommending anyone higher then Collin Farris. He has been an absolute pleasure!

We had such a great experience with Colin as first time home buyers in San Clemente! What we appreciated the most was how much we could trust him. We really felt like he had our best interest at heart, and he was never pushy or slimy like other people we've worked with. He was straightforward, thorough, knowledgeable, helpful and communicated extremely clearly. We felt very well taken care of and the process was enjoyable from start to finish. We're honestly very grateful that he was recommended to us and if we ever move we would look forward to working with him again.

Our home search started in September of 2021, and after a year of putting in offers on homes all over Orange County, we were still searching. In December of 2022, our good friends successfully purchased a home in a very competitive market (San Clemente) with a realtor, Colin Farris. Colin had also helped another couple we were friends with find their dream home in historic Santa Ana a few years prior. We contacted Colin right after before Chrismas, and he immediately jumped in and started working with us to understand what we were looking for. We learned so much from him about how to be proactive about home buying, getting the word out into neighborhoods that we were interested in moving to the area, how we could create material to distribute to potential sellers, and more. After just 2 months of working with Colin, my husband and I found a home in North Tustin that was perfect for us. Colin arranged a viewing just 24 hours after listing, and by the next morning we had an offer in that was accepted later that week. Through the entire escrow process, Colin was there every step of the way, during inspections, communicating with the sellers agent, and even our lender to make sure the process went smoothly. Thanks to Colin's experience, expertise, and patience, we are now home owners! We couldn't have done it without Colin's perseverance and I know we can call him for advice any time, we are so thankful for his help. I mention Colin to anyone that is searching for a home or trying to sell, he is truly an expert at what he does.
