Transaction notes

What these transactions involved

Seller rent-back

The Coastal Sage sale included a seller rent-back, so the sellers stayed in the home for a period after closing. Escrow held related funds and released them in late December 2022.

Relisting after a cancelled escrow

The first escrow on Avenida Miguel Oeste did not close. The home returned to market on October 18, 2023, the price was adjusted two days later, and a new escrow closed on November 22, 2023. Anita had represented the buyer when the property was purchased in 2021.

Owned vs. leased solar

Thistlewood was marketed with owned (paid-off) solar. At Sequoia, the solar system was leased from Sunrun, so the lease had to be transferred to the buyers during escrow. Owned or leased changes what transfers and what has to be reviewed.

Client reviews

What clients say

Reviews are general client feedback and are not tied to the specific properties above.

“They were both very personable. I tend to get anxiety during house buying/selling but Anita really helped me out with that by being extremely communicative. I would definitely recommend them to anyone buying or selling real estate.”

Steve, home buyer

“Anita and Michael are absolutely fantastic to work with. They guided us through the selling and buying process. They had an open line of communication with us and kept us involved every step of the way…”

Natalie Q., buyer and seller

Prices, closing dates and the side represented come from CRMLS MLS records, escrow closing statements and public property records; for 2021–2023 sales, days to pending or contingent are counted from the list date. The $5.94M combined sale value covers only the eight featured transactions on this page (six seller-side and two buyer-side). The 53-transaction figure comes from a CRMLS search of closed Murrieta residential transactions, January 2016 through September 2026, where Michael or Anita was a listing, co-listing, buyer’s or co-buyer’s agent, with each MLS transaction counted once.
