Philip Talbert was a dream to work with. We’d previously met on the phone and Philip managed to find the perfect—and I mean perfect—home for me the first time out! He listened very carefully to my wants and needs and couldn’t have zeroed in on a more well situated place than I could have dreamed. If you want a realtor who takes the time to understand what it is you are really looking for, go with Philip Talbert.

Gary and his team exceeded all of my expectations. He had the perfect answer to all of my questions and is very knowledgeable about the home buying process. He had great communication with us throughout the whole process and kept us up to date about everything. I highly recommend Gary and his team.

Wow, where do we start?! Finding a home was always in the back of our minds, but just the thought of the entire process sounded exhausting and stressful. And then we had Gary Elvidge help us, and WOW did he make everything so easy for us! He provided us with exceptional service, dedication, and hard work. From driving us to view multiple houses to checking in with us daily - we quickly found our dream home! From the minute our sellers accepted our offer, Gary and his Team made going through escrow a breeze! That was most likely due to excellent communication - (with us being first time homebuyers) he explained exactly how escrow works, the entire process step by step, what to expect, and what we needed to provide. Our 30 days in escrow went by fast, and before we knew it, we had the keys in our hands! Whether you’re a first time homebuyer or an experienced homebuyer, we highly recommend you have Gary help you! I know for a fact we only found our forever home because of him.

Gary was nothing short of extraordinary in every step of our home-buying process. He knows Huntington Beach inside and out, and his creative negotiating skills helped us avoid a bidding war and score the home of our dreams! He dropped everything to show us the home within hours of listing and process a same-day offer. He was also extremely attentive and professional throughout the escrow period. He kept us updated at every step, checked in often to make sure we were on track, and went above and beyond to make sure all of our questions were addressed. In addition to his expertise, he is also honest, hilarious and fun to work with! For all of this, we couldn’t more highly recommend Gary. I am certain that we would not be living in our dream home right now if it weren’t for him. If you are looking to buy a home, look no further than Gary Elvidge to accomplish that. Thank you Gary!!!

I loved working with Philip and the Sackin-Stone Team!
I had worked with Philip years ago, in the airline industry. I thought the world of him then. When I decided to sell my condo I remembered he had gone into Real Estate. As soon as he walked in my door I had a sense of calm and knew he was the right person for the job. The experience was great all the through, from staging my home to the closing of escrow.
Thank you Philip and the whole Sackin-Stone Team!
