Client Testimonials
“We could not recommend this power team enough when it comes to selling or buying your dream home. If we could give this team 10 stars we would! We worked with Dina & Dede, who are not only our agents but they also quickly became our close friends. We have worked with them in the past and when the time came to sell our first home, there was no one else we called but them. Not only did our home sell quickly and for top dollar, but they made the entire process from listing to close flawless. They never missed a beat, were honest and open throughout the entire process, quick to respond to any of our many questions and were very organized. We couldn’t have asked for more! When the larger task of finding our next home came up, they did everything they could to find us the perfect home. They are so well connected in the community and have built relationships over the years with area agents that can’t be matched. They worked nights and weekends, never letting us settle on a home they knew wouldn’t be the right fit and for that we are forever grateful. In a tough market like today’s we feel so fortunate to have found a home for our growing family and know that this wouldn’t be possible without this amazing team. Don’t buy or sell without them on your side!”
Mark & Mallary
“The team at Ladera Realty Group are exceptional realtors. They have handled multiple purchases and sales for us throughout the years. Our agents Dina and Dede will continue to be our first choice for any future endeavors!”
Robert & Sandy
“Tonja is amazing. She helped us find a house and was extremely patient for us. Even after we found our new home, she kept in touch and was always there for advice and help. I could not recommend her more. She is beyond knowledgeable in the South OC area (especially Ladera Ranch and Coto) and will fight for her clients.”
Daniel
“We are first-time buyers and had an excellent experience with this team. There were no issues when it came to timelines or submitting paperwork. Everything was very quick and smooth - they are professionals! The communication was stellar, anything we had questions on or needed clarification with, the response was always quick and answered fully. It truly felt like the team had our best interests at heart as if they were their own. It was great having Dina and Dede in our corner. We will definitely be having the team assist with the next move!”
Taylor & Taylor
“Tonja of Ladera Realty Group did such a spectacular job in selling my townhouse that when it came time to sell my single family home, it was a no brainer for me on who would do the best job. Tonja is such a professional! She was there every step of the way, providing solutions and suggestions and ultimately getting me the right buyer and the right price. I highly recommend Tonja.”
Nancy
“Working with their team was incredible, and they became friends with us - always attentive to our concerns and wishes. They always gave us time and space to clarify any doubts or situations in a genuinely loving and empathetic way. We feel very lucky to have worked with them and I will do it again as many times as we need. On other occasions I had other realtors who seemed to work for everyone except their clients, but Dina and Dede always worked everything on time for us. We really love them and recommend them 1000% The best realtors we ever met.”
Ramin & Gabi
“Tonja Gray is an incredible realtor you can trust! She guided me through selling and buying two homes in Ladera—handling staging, repairs, and getting it sold within one weekend. She goes above and beyond for her clients, and her local connections helped me secure a pocket listing for my new forever home before it even hit the market. Even my kids loved going on house tours with her! Tonja gives 1000% effort and has stayed in touch post-purchase to make sure everything is perfect. If you’re buying or selling, she’s the one to call!”
Amber
“I would highly recommend this team. I have worked with Dina & Dede since 2018. They don't oversell and always deliver. More than just an exceptional team, they are personable and caring and have become good friends. You won't be disappointed if you give them a try.”
John & Shannon
“Tonja did an amazing job selling my house! She is the utmost professional and most important answered all my questions-and there were many!! Tonja is approachable and incredibly accessible, answering calls and correspondence with other agents was quick and efficient. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
Erin
“Dina & Dede of Ladera Realty Group were nothing short of amazing agents in helping our family relocate to the Ladera Ranch area. During a challenging buyers market, their creative thinking and unique approach ultimately helped lead us to finding the perfect home on an off market deal. Couldn't be happier with the outcome of working with their team.”
