What Our Clients Say
Just sold my home in March 2014. Melinda Johnson and the entire Freedom First Properties team were the perfect fit for me! Buying and selling a home is such an emotional roller coaster but working with the right people helped me make smart decisions during the entire process. For me, it started with a realistic assessment of the market and the value of my home. With an in-house appraiser on the Freedom F...

What Our Clients Say
Freedom First properties and their stellar team worked incredibly hard to get us into our home! Freedom First had the difficult task of finding two houses within blocks from each other; a home for my family and me, and one for my sister and her family. To make matters more complicated, we also had to sell our homes before buying. There were so many contingencies and hurdles that had to be overcome. Freed...

When the purchaser made an unreasonable list of repairs, she...

Melinda saved us, she ran REALTOR viewing parties, advertised, and finally procured a decent offer from qualified buyers. She structured the sale so that everybody was happy, a very creative result. It helped that Melinda also represe...

What Our Clients Say
I was devastated by a death in the family and I needed to sell an Anaheim Hills condo for the estate. I was approached by numerous brokers, but I did my research for an experienced local broker and I found Melinda. I planned on interviewing a few brokers, but after meeting with Melinda I knew that she was the one to hire. As it turned out, she is an attorney and an expert on Probate. Melinda and her team...
