— A. Keefe

“Maxine has represented us in multiple prior transactions, and in each case, her performance has been superlative.”

— Michele A.

“Maxine Golden is amazing. She believes in relationships, communication, and building trust. Maxine believes it’s critical that you understand what is happening at each step in the process and let’s you know when you’re about to make a mistake. Her communication skills are top notch and her strategic decisions are what got our offer accepted.”

— Ethan S.

“Maxine went above and beyond during our journey. She is really passionate about her clients’ understanding of the entire process, all the fine details. It was important to her that we knew what we were signing, what it meant and that we understood all our options. Her attention to detail and procedure was very comforting to us because we knew she had our best interests in mind, and wanted no “surprises” for us to deal with in the end. Her understanding of the area was paramount since then we could trust her guidance on what we should offer or what “red flags” we should be looking for. I felt she was taking care of us as if we were one of her family members, wanting us to have the best possible experience and deal. Maxine really made this deal happen. My husband and I are sure that we would not have our home if it not for her. After making several offers and not having those offers accepted because of this strange market, Maxine went above and beyond by contacting the sellers agents and making sure that they remembered us if their initial bids fell through. She would regularly check in with those agents, to see how the transactions were going, and reiterating our desire to be back up offers if their deals did not come through. That is how we were able to purchase our home. The sellers agent remembered Maxine’s communications about having us be a back up, and sure enough their original buyer backed out, which then the agent reached out to Maxine about us making the back up offer. We would not have had that opportunity had Maxine not kept up with all the agents, I am 100% sure of it. We are forever grateful to her for being so good at her job!”

“Maxine is easy to work with. She is thorough, responsive and trustworthy.”

— Mark C.

“Maxine was referred by someone I trust. I cannot imagine buying our investment property in Orange County – our first 1031 – without her support, guidance and proactive engagement. She looks back and forward using all of her experience and knowledge of us and our needs and preferences. She is incredibly client focused and communicates so you always know what’s going on and what needs your attention. Maxine’s attention to detail and engagement was extraordinary. Her ability to pivot with changes and manage successive offers was just amazing. Whether documents or structures she gets into details. I wish we had used her to sell our house in LA. In this fast moving real estate market, she helped us buy the right house for us at the right price which wasn’t easy in Summer 2021. When you need something done fast and right, I always knew Maxine would deliver and she did. I’d recommend her to anyone.”

“Excellent experience.”

— Art G.

“Maxine has helped us in the past as well as other close friends and family, and I knew her skill set and service to be exceptional. Maxine handled a delicate sales process with a next door neighbor in a very professional way, helping both buyer and seller in the process. Maxine always goes above and beyond what is expected from a broker and agent. In this case, she voluntarily showed up to vacuum the property in advance of the appraisal, and purchased a CO2 monitor that was needed. She also met several folks at the property when needed, and was in attendance at the buyer’s loan signing to assist in getting past some hurdles. She was also instrumental in staying on top of the lender for the buyer.”

— B. Mauss

“Maxine took care of my husband and I in our home buying experience as if we were own children. She provided quality service as well as education. Maxine is very knowledgeable and professional. She was always available if we had any questions and kept us informed in every step of our escrow process. I highly recommend Maxine to all of our friends and family. She is simply the best!”

— Jessica

“Maxine Golden is the consummate professional – the most qualified and capable agent/broker with whom I have ever worked. She is the best!! At every juncture her primary concern is that the transaction proceed smoothly, professionally, expeditiously and successfully. We have worked with her in multiple transactions over the course of over two decades and she has always come through in extraordinary ways. She goes above and beyond in service to her clients, on every level. Our experience could not possibly have been any better!!!”

— Michele A.

— Jon & Ann

“Maxine was spot on with her marketing of our house and the unconventional approach she utilized. Maxine is incredibly knowledgeable about all facets of residential real estate transactions and we always feel comfortable about any plan she presents and respect all of her suggestions. In Maxine, one could not get a more thorough, trustworthy and responsive agent. We would recommend her 100 times over.”

— Michele And David

“From the first interaction I had with her via phone interview to her recent follow up call to see how I’m getting along in my new house, Maxine Golden has been more than a real estate broker, she’s also been a trusted friend. She has a tenacity for details and thoroughness, an old-fashioned work ethic, and common sense practicality. This was my first home purchase. With Maxine at my side, every step of the way, what could have been an overwhelming and intimidating process was turned into a confident journey. I am happily settled now, but if I should need another home, I will only work with Maxine Golden, and will highly recommend her to family and friends.”

— B. Kershberg

“Maxine Golden is one of those rare real estate professionals who truly knows all the regulations, the procedures, protective measures for the client. Her knowledge and experience is top notch. Maxine combines the expertise, fair practices and caring for her clients. We were fortunate to have her as our broker.”

— Sheila and Jerry H.

“We bought our property from Maxine over 18 years ago and she was most professional, ethical, had market expertise above and beyond what is in the market place. It is because of our initial work with her that there was no question we would work with anyone else when selling our property. She had a command performance especially with some of the challenges we faced with a foreign buyer. She went above and beyond so the transaction would go through without any hiccoughs. I would highly recommend Maxine and would not hesitate to work with her again should the opportunity arise. “

— Bruce L.

“Maxine is amazing. She is so knowledgeable AND personable. The total package. I feel so spoiled that Maxine has handled my last two real estate transactions. There are always issues that come up from the other side that clearly indicate their agents spend little to no time ensuring. Their clients have full understanding of the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of our transaction. Maxine always maks sure that there are no surprises and you know and are happy with what is going on. She is so professional and amazing in every way.”

— E. Spielvogel

“Maxine Golden assisted us in buying our home 16 years ago and it was the best outcome we could have hoped for after we had evaluated many other alternatives. So when we decided to sell our home we chose Maxine again. During our sale process and closing, we had a number of challenging issues with our home that had to be addressed with my wife and I separately and Maxine was focused and driven to get all the details aligned before the closing date. She did a magnificent job and we are indebted to her for her professionalism and her attention to every detail. Maxine is a 5 Star professional and a wonderful person who represents her clients in the best possible manner.”

— William B.

“Maxine Golden is the consummate professional. Her knowledge and expertise were invaluable, and she extends a caring personal touch as well. I highly recommend her and her skill set.”

— Donna B.

“This letter is written as a recommendation for the retention of Maxine Golden of as a real estate broker in respect of the intended disposition of real property located in Orange County. It has been my professional pleasure to have worked with Maxine in complex real estate sales and acquisitions over the course of the last nine years. During that period of time, I have not only personally experienced the breadth and scope of her extraordinary professional skills, but have, on myriad occasions, referred her to colleagues and to clients whose experience with Maxine has been absolutely consistent with mine.”

— Michele A.

“Thank you for all of the vital assistance you have given to CH2MHill and me over the years. You were of great assistance to Mary and me in our relocation, so much so, that I decided to engage your help in relocating 20 company employees to the area as I began building up the office.

The services you provided really made the relocation decisions much easier for our people who were coming to Orange County from all over the country. Your ability to quickly gain their confidence and determine the lifestyle issues that were of importance to them enabled you to connect them to communities and homes of their liking and enabled positive decisions to relocate.”

— Jerry B.

“I want to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation for the professional manner in which you represented us in the purchase of our new home. I especially appreciate you always keeping our best interest above your personal comfort.”

— Robert M.

“My wife and I have relocated globally several times. During our most recent relocation we chose Maxine Golden to represent us. It turned out to be our most rewarding and positive experience to date.”

— Guy S.

“Maxine Golden provided us with invaluable services and information as she guided us step-by-step through the process of a double real estate exchange. Initially, we thought that the complex process was not worth the effort. However, thanks to Maxine, we now own two newer properties located in areas with much higher property values, and much higher rental income.”

— Bob and Linda S.

“Our home in Newport Beach had been on the market for over a year with a well known, large, real estate company, and we were discouraged because we had received low offers.

Then we chose Maxine Golden to represent us because of her experience with luxury homes, specifically bay front properties. Within a week of Maxine launching her marketing plan, we received a full price offer and sold our property.”

— Don and Sarah G.

“Sandy and I are most appreciative for your hard work in helping us purchase a property with our son. Your knack of keeping all parties informed promptly and professionally excelled our expectations. Your real estate teaching skills were very evident in working with our son in his first purchase. Time was never an obstacle for you.”
