Doug Wathen

Doug knows south Laguna Niguel very well. We spoke with him more than a year before we were ready to try and sell our townhome and move up to a single family residence. He monitored the neighborhoods we like for months before hand. He pulled out all the stops to move our townhome and got what was the highest price we feel we could have gotten considering the market. On the buying side of things he again has gotten creative and helped us get exactly what we were asking for.

We had a great experience working with Doug Wathen. Not only was he professional, he was honest and hard working. We always felt as if we were his most important client! He was always promt in getting us the information we needed and returning calls, etc. I would definitely recommend Doug and The Wathen Realty Group!

My wife and I selected Doug Wathen to list and sell our family home of 28 after interviewing numerous agents. We definitely made the right choice! From the first meeting we had in our home through the entire process, the journey was professional and educational at the highest level. We had a couple issues that needed a real thinker to tackle, and Doug handled the issues quickly and with no problems at all! In the very early stages of the process, it became very clear Doug was very seasoned, had excellent interpersonal skills, and was focused only on selling our home. Communication was excellent, as was all his input and conversation on everything! After the fact, we are honored to have worked closely with Doug, and feel we've made a friend for life! It is with great pride and confidence I can refer Doug Wathen for any Real Estate situation one may need. He is TOP-NOTCH!!

The experience was rewarding and beneficial ... Doug earned our trust early on in our relationship because of his experience, knowledge of the area and market, negotiating expertise and just plain hard work. He was tireless in his efforts on our behalf and consistently gave his full measure to find additional homes in our search parameters as well as his never-ending work ethic. Doug is the consummate negotiator and always negotiates from a position of strength to achieve the desired result.

Doug was extremely helpful in the purchase of my property. He advised me and negotiated the deal throughout the process with little effort on my end. He dealt with all the headaches from finding the property to closing the deal with the mortgage company and kept me up to date regularly. I knew exactly what was going on, yet, did very little work. I highly recommend Doug since he not only held my hand through the purchase, but also saved me a lot of money by negotiating some of the closing costs, repairs needed, etc. He did this because he felt it in my best interest and I received a very nice amount of money back when I had no idea it was even possible.
