"We were so fortunate to work with AJ for over almost a year during an insanely competitive time as a buyer in Newport Beach! She helped us make multiple offers and finally land us a great home that checked all of our boxes. She's a true professional and navigated the offer and closing process seamlessly. We couldn't recommend her more. Thanks, AJ!"
Brynne Jones
"We have worked very extensively with AJ, over the past year, both as a buyer’s agent and as a seller’s agent, and she was exceptional on both accounts. She went above and beyond to understand our needs as a family and worked with us very closely over a 6-9 month period until we found our dream home. She introduced us to different neighborhoods in Newport and Irvine, pointing out the pros and cons of each. She is very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the real estate market. We appreciate her quick responses, attention to detail, and insight on effective bidding that allowed us to buy a home in this competitive market. We cannot express how much we've loved working with AJ! As first-time homebuyers in the middle of a pandemic, AJ made what could've been a really stressful process incredibly stress-free! Unfortunately, we had to move shortly after buying our dream and AJ came to the rescue again and helped us sell our house at a wonderful price. In addition, AJ has a network of people (landscaper, handyman, painter) she recommended to us throughout the home selling process and they were all so amazing to work with. AJ came highly recommended by good friends of ours and we will definitely be recommending her to everyone we know! Plus, we will for sure be using her for all future real estate needs!! You definitely won't be disappointed working with AJ!!"
Annie Merchant
"AJ was a fantastic realtor who helped us find an amazing home! She was very thoughtful and responsive throughout the process and did an excellent job all around. She was very knowledgeable about the area and asked a lot of questions to potential sellers that we hadnt even thought of in order to help us make the best decision possible. Everything with her worked out amazing and we are so happy that we found her and used her as our realtor!! We will absolutely use her again the next time we look for a house. 🙂"

""Olsen Whitfield is a FULL service real estate agent. From day one, she is planning and executing ALL the details that will sell your home. She has extensive experience in our area (although I have no doubt she could sell a house anywhere) and there is no task small or large she won't tackle on your behalf. With a background in actual building development, she knows all the right tradesmen to help fix whatever needs work. She can style your photo shoot and help you stage your house to look it's best. She can inventory your home and know what needs to be pared down and pre-shops all the fixtures and decoration you might require to stage and get top dollar. On the other side of the coin, AJ is one sharp agent. She knows current values, interest rates, and has incredible business acumen. She will go to the mat for you and has the respect of all the agents in the area for being a straight shooter and honest to her words. What else can I say? Above and beyond all that, AJ Whitfield is a genuinely nice person. She listens and she's there when it all might seem daunting and overwhelming. She gets the job done and delivers on her promises. P.S. During COVID, she absolutely wipes down your ENTIRE house herself and you can come home after a showing a relax with confidence that your home is safe in her hands.""
Kerry Brennan
"From our first meeting to the last detail, AJ demonstrated experience, wisdom, integrity, and above all a spirit of service that places her in a class of her own. She is a consummate professional. AJ really saw the uniqueness of our property and understood its added value. She strategically priced our home within the Eastside market. She gave us expert direction on how to prepare and stage our house for photography and for the showings, all with minimal effort and expense to us. She brought in talented professionals who were easy to work with and delivered superb marketing materials. The results were spectacular —AJ skillfully negotiated a fantastic contract for us! The escrow and title services AJ recommended were also excellent. Trying to sell our home of 20 years during a pandemic with the wife stuck out of state was an overwhelming proposition. AJ made every aspect of the process easier and we trusted her completely. AJ is just a wonderful person and a lot of fun! We are beyond grateful and would choose to work with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you AJ!"
Glenn MacKinnon
"Working with AJ was amazing. She’s extremely knowledgeable and honest, and wants to help make sure you are making a good investment. She’s highly responsive and organized so things naturally move along efficiently. As this was our first home, she guided us through the entire process and was always willing to go above and beyond when answering our many, many questions. She also has a great eye and helped us figure out what was important to us to find the best home for our needs. In the end, our home required a bit of work and we honestly would have been too intimidated to take it on without AJ’s guidance, knowledge and contacts. From facilitating multiple estimates to providing excellent referrals for all types of work needed, she made it possible for us to find a house we love and create a plan and timeline for getting the necessary updates made - even checking in to make sure everything is going smoothly! I would recommend AJ to anyone looking for a realtor, she will take excellent care of you and make sure you find something you love."
Jackie Mayer
""I have worked with AJ Whitfield on two occasions and she has exceeded my expectations both times. We sold our home and she provided a sense of personal care, attention to detail and professionalism that was unmatched. She was extremely responsive, answered our questions promptly and held open houses that were classy and professional. HER NEGOTIATION SKILLS! She is the GO- TO agent if you want to get your highest possible price. She is very skilled at negotiating with sellers and buyers. I know we got the most we could for the sale of our home. And honestly, isn't that what its really about, in addition to liking and having a positive experience after all is said and done? I also purchased a home using AJ, and again, my expectations were exceeded during the showings, the negotiation process(you better believe I purchased at a low price!!) , escrow , inspection, etc. She even helped me find a microwave that fit in an awkward shelf spot! She goes above and beyond in her service and her care for her clients and the whole process is unparalleled. As you can tell, I hands down, wholeheartedly recommend AJ to ANYONE looking to buy or sell a home!""
Kasey Grant
""Okay, STOP YOUR SEARCH! You have found the best real estate professional in the business. Seriously, AJ is amazing! AJ represented us in our recent purchase of our dream home in Eastside Costa Mesa. She was an absolute joy to work with and had an incredibly in-depth knowledge of the area. Let’s face it, buying a home is a stressful experience. There are so many moving parts and it’s easy to become overwhelmed very quickly. And, inevitably, issues will arise. Here’s where AJ really shines – she was so organized and kept us on track. She calmed our nerves throughout the process. We were extremely impressed with AJ’s strategic and practical approach. From our initial offer all the way through to closing, she was a fantastic negotiator and stellar advocate for us. Not to mention, AJ has an incredible network of contacts – if you need some work or enhancements done on the house, AJ’s got a guy (or gal) for that. Simply put, AJ is a superstar and we do not hesitate in giving her the highest recommendation! Hire her immediately! You will not regret it!""
Ron & Tonya Ampie
"We loved having AJ as our realtor. Throughout the whole process of selling our first home and purchasing our next AJ's expertise and guidance was spot on. She gained our full trust and knowing you have someone like that in your corner guiding you through what can be a stressful process made it that much easier."
Kathryn Heeschen
"We have nothing but great things to say about AJ! She was responsive, professional, patient, and knowledgeable. Even though we knew she was quite busy, she had a way of making us feel like we were her only clients. And she went above and beyond with keeping us on target for our closing date and setting us up with great people to work with throughout the process! She was honest while also giving us the time and room to make our own decisions and stayed neutral. And to top it all off she even hired cleaners for us so we could move into a clean and fresh home. We would highly recommend AJ"
Sharon Fischer
"AJ is, quite simply, the best. She has helped us buy two houses and sell one house, and we couldn’t be happier with her services. There is no one else we would trust more with the home buying and selling process than her. She patiently walked us through every step of the process, and was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had in a way that was always satisfying and reassuring. She’ll do whatever it takes to get maximum value for your house and sell it in the least amount of time - our new home was a contingent offer and she pulled off miracle after miracle to make it all happen in time. Also, during the offer/counteroffer process, she made sure we didn’t leave any money on the table, helping us make even more profit than we thought we could get. We couldn’t be any happier in the new home we’re in, at the great price we bought it at, and the amazing price she was able to sell our old house at made it all possible. Trust us, there’s no need to shop around. AJ is exactly who you need."
Tim & Tamara
"AJ did the most wonderful job both selling our home and helping us find a new home. She made the process so seamless and stress-free. She was always one step ahead and on top of everything we needed to do, was extremely efficient and always available to talk to us when we needed her. I will only use AJ for any future home buying and selling, she was absolutely amazing!"
Katarina Milo
"AJ is impressive! My wife and I interviewed several realtors and chose AJ based on her her reputation, her professionalism and her willingness to use her market knowledge to price and sell our home at the highest selling price in history, in our city, at that time. Her day to day communication was clear and consistent, her explanation of what was next and needed to be signed was accurate and timely - we completed our escrow tasks two days early. We have bought, sold and hold a variety of real estate properties and working with AJ has been the best experience with a realtor in a transaction thus far; we will recommend AJ."
Julio
"AJ went above and beyond in every aspect of selling our home, and purchasing a new one. She was incredible to work with from start to finish and has contacts for anything you need. She is a true professional in every sense of the word, and far exceeded our expectations. We will never purchase or sell another home without AJ on our team!"
Brett Lessman
"My wife and I were first time home buyers and a little green when it came to the ins and outs of purchasing a home. From start to finish AJ was beyond helpful. Her attention to detail and on-top-of-it persona took all the stress out of buying our house. Whether you are looking for a realtor to hold your hand or you need an honest, hard-working closer, AJ is it. My wife and I will use AJ for every home we ever purchase."
Tom Bissell
"AJ was fantastic through our process. We moved from out of the area and didn't have great local knowledge. Her advice and guidance was absolutely invaluable along the way and, no doubt, is why we ended up in a home we love in East Costa Mesa. AJ's attention to detail and professionalism are second to none."
Katy & Chris
"We loved having AJ as our realtor. Throughout the whole process of selling our first home and purchasing our next AJ's expertise and guidance was spot on. She gained our full trust and knowing you have someone like that in your corner guiding you through what can be a stressful process made it that much easier."
Kate Twiggs
"AJ is a fantastic real estate agent. She is highly professional and really knows her real estate. The condo we ended up buying was a short sale. AJ truly understood the short sale process and kept us updated and in the loop about the proceedings. She is an excellent communicator. We are so pleased with the condo she found us."
Katie Peters
"We were moving down to the Orange County area and didn't have a lot of expertise on neighborhoods or really what we were looking for. AJ took the time to talk with us about what we wanted and we really refined a great set of houses to look at. We were able to pick out a house on the first day of viewing, and it was one she added that she knew we would like! On top of that, she's been incredibly helpful in getting acclimated to the neighborhood and with lots of referrals on contractors that she's worked with. Can't recommend her highly enough!"
Brian and Kori Schimpf
"AJ makes you feel right at home...buying a home. She is so personable and cares about her clients needs. AJ went above and beyond to make the seemingly daunting task of buying home an enjoyable one as she broke down the process and was with us every step of the way. She made time for us and was available to answer any and all questions throughout the day (and night - oops). AJ started off as our agent and ended as our friend. We could not have done this without her! And now we have a brand new home to show for all of her hard work. Thanks AJ!"
Jane McGraw and Cory Adler
"AJ was an amazing asset to us during our home search. She is quick to respond, detailed and very knowledgeable of the local market. What really makes her stand out is her experience in remodeling and designing homes. Given we wanted a particular layout and would likely have to make changes, AJ was able to guide us through the art of the possible with each home we looked at. We eventually found the perfect home for the family and could not be happier. Thanks AJ "
The Watts
"AJ is an energetic, extremely sharp agent with hyper-local knowledge and a mastery of the transaction process that made buying a home as painless as it could be. She was very thorough and patient in going over all of the different documents I needed to sign, and in helping me understand the timeline. AJ was responsive throughout the process and I would fully recommend her to buyers and sellers alike."
Bradd Kern
"AJ is a wonderful real estate agent. She was very professional and was able to assist us in making our home look perfect to sell. She was able to sell our house at asking price in a very timely manner. My husband and I were very pleased with our experience!"
Amanda
"AJ is an incredibly tenacious, organized, and talented real estate agent. Buying my first home was a daunting task, but with AJ I always felt one step ahead of the game while knowing nothing would fall through the cracks. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to Orange County real estate, and I can't imagine going through the home-buying process again without her."
Nick Foster
"AJ was extremely helpful, professional, and understanding during our home sale. She sat down with us before listing the property to thoroughly discuss the process: listing price, whether to stage or not, expectations on sales price and length of process, and any concerns/questions we had. AJ understood the buying/selling dynamics of our neighborhood very well, put together beautiful sales materials, and setup staging for our home. As a result of AJ's involvement, we received multiple offers on our property within the first weekend and were able to sell the property at a price that made us very happy. We were very satisfied with our experience with AJ and plan to use her for any future home sales/purchases."
The Kilpatricks
"AJ was incredible!!! She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and on top of every detail. She was always available to talk whenever we needed her too. Her positivity, patience, and expertise made the process of finding our new home very enjoyable. I cannot say enough good things about AJ, and we will definitely be using her again in the future!"
