About:

I am an Orange County native and have lived in Laguna Niguel since 1980. I know the area well and love it!
Aside from being any ivy-league educated real I am an Orange County native and have lived in Laguna Niguel since 1980. I know the area well and love it!

Aside from being any ivy-league educated real estate broker, I am also a real estate attorney. So when you work with me, you not only get the market expertise of a broker, you also get the legal expertise to protect you as you make one of the most important financial decisions you'll ever make, namely the purchase or sale of a home.

There is also a huge financial incentive to hire O.C. Real Estate Advisors when you purchase or sell a home in Orange County. When we represent a home seller, we always offer our services on a flat fee. That's right, we don't work on commission and never will!

When we represent a home buyer, we give all of our buyer clients 20% of our commission in cash at the close of escrow. You can choose to spend this money any way you want. You might decide to use it to re-paint your new home, install new carpet, or take a much-needed vacation.

In forming O.C. Real Estate Advisors, my goal was to take my emphasis on client service from the legal realm, where I had worked as a litigation attorney for more than 10 years, and translate that into a real estate company that not only cared about its clients, but looked out for their legal interests as well. What I enjoy most about my job is helping people achieve their goals. Customer satisfaction is very important to me and I take pride in providing excellent results that are specifically tailored to meet my client’s needs.

For many people, the purchase or sale of a home will be the most important financial decision they ever make. At O.C. Real Estate Advisors, we believe that in making this decision, you should be advised by the best legal and real estate minds in the business. And that is what you are guaranteed to receive when you hire O.C. Real Estate Advisors to help you with the purchase or sale of your home.

We also believe that the real estate advice you receive should be objective, independent, and honest. That’s why we follow the strict Code of Ethics of the California Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors, and the Foundation of the State Bar of California.

In addition to maintaining high ethical standards, O.C. Real Estate Advisors’ mission is to provide high quality real estate services at a reasonable cost, one that our clients can afford. We don't believe real estate agents should make tens of thousands of dollars every time a home is sold. That's why we represent home sellers for a low flat fee (instead of a high commission), and give home buyers cash back at the close of escrow.

I have twice been awarded the Bronze Medal by the United States Government for providing outstanding and superior performance in the service of my client’s needs. The Orange County Register has also recognized me as an expert in real estate matters and my real estate advice has appeared in Orange Coast Magazine.

If I can help you with any of your Orange County real estate needs, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I can be reached by email at amanda@ocrealestateadvisors.com or on my toll-free number (866) 570-9488. You can also get more information about our real estate services on our website at http://www.ocrealestateadvisors.com.

I look forward to helping you!

"“O.C. Real Estate Advisors knew the market and what it would take to sell our property in the least amount of time! PLUS… We saved over $17,000 in real estate commissions.”"
Harvey & Nancy Gore Fri Nov 9, 2007

"“O.C. Real Estate Advisors saved us more than $15,000 in real estate commission and sold our home for $40,000 more than the other homes in our neighborhood. Our O.C. Real Estate Advisor held our hand through the entire process, was always available to answer our questions, and offered us everything we had received from other ‘percentage’ brokers. I recommend this firm and service without reservation.”"
Elaine M. Amerson Sat Feb 9, 2008

"“I signed with Amanda Wheeland of O.C. Real Estate Advisors after failing to sell my home with another agent. This time it was a win-win experience. I saved money with O.C. Real Estate Advisors’s flat rate and Amanda Wheeland’s expertise in the market gave me the confidence that the right decisions were made at every point in the sale process. Service and knowledge were not compromised by the lower cost of the flat-fee service structure. I recommend Amanda to anyone interested in selling their home.”"
Pat Sims Sun Mar 2, 2008

"“Amanda Wheeland of O.C. Real Estate Advisors was amazingly knowledgeable about pricing our home for our area. She listened to potential buyers and accentuated the benefits of our home. We had our home on the market for over 9 months with a previous broker. Our broker kept saying the right buyer hadn't come in our home?? When I searched the MLS, I noticed that homes were selling in our area yet our home wasn't selling. So, we hired Amanda since she had sold another home in the same area in less than 30 days. I was so impressed with her professionalism and savvy negotiating skills, which helps when you're trying to close the deal. Our home sold in less than 90 days and we saved nearly $40,000.00 dollars in broker commissions. We actually had two offers! I'm hiring Amanda again for our second home. I would hire O.C. Real Estate Advisors again without thinking twice. Wonderful experience from start to finish. Thanks Amanda for your hard work.”"

When rates are locked ?

Asked Sat Aug 16 2008, 09:26 by Enzo - Home Buying in 92612 - 4 answers

Amanda Wheeland answered:

Hello Enzo. Your rate is only locked in if asked your lender to lock in your rate. If your rate was not locked in, then it will continue to fluctuate with the market.

Rate lock agreements are generally only valid for 30 days, but may be extended for longer periods of time by paying a fee to the lender. As Cynthia points out, it will be difficult to lock in your interest rate when you are purchasing a short sale because most short sales do not close within 30 days. Thus, even if you lock in your interest rate, if you do not close escrow on the property within 30 days, the interest rate will re-adjust to whatever the lender's rates are at that later date.

I hope this helps! If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. - Sat Aug 23 2008, 11:08
