The Chavez Team · The Agency
We're a six-person, bilingual team at The Agency rooted in the communities we serve — Cypress, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, Anaheim, and Long Beach's Naples Island — now serving families across Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties.
We believe a home should support how you actually want to live: healthier, calmer, more connected. That's what "Reimagining Homes for Wellness & Lifestyle" means to us — and it's how we guide every buyer, seller, and family we work with.

Client Stories
“Jon was great from beginning to end. He always made sure he diligently answered our questions with enthusiasm. He listened to our wants/needs and catered the process in finding a place to exactly that. If we lost sight of what we wanted, he gently reminded us of what we originally wanted and would check in to see if anything changed in that regard. Never pushy, I could tell he genuinely just wanted us to be happy. Jon has great attention to detail, very friendly and easy to work with.”

Review for Jacob Castillo
“Jacob was outstanding to work with. He and his team were able to sell my condo fairly quickly in a seamless process. He was immediately able to arrange many showings with interested buyers which led to a fairly quick selling of my place. He was professional and always available and prompt in answering all my calls and texts. I highly recommend him and who he works for The Agency.”

Review for Jacob Castillo
“We've worked with Ismael for many years now, and he's always been our go to for ALL things real estate. He recently helped us purchase our second home, our dream house! He worked so tirelessly, to give us an opportunity to compete and actually beat out multiple offers, including cash offers! He's extremely responsive and has a way of making you feel like a priority. Even after we opened escrow he was so available for us, coming out to the home for various inspections on multiple occasions. He will get it done! And he's professional, kind and so easy to work with! We highly recommend!!”

★★★★★Zillow review· Seller, Riverside (Orangecrest) · January 2025
Review for Ismael Chavez
“Firstly, I would like to mention this would be my husband's and I first home purchase, before meeting the Chavez home team we knew absolutely nothing about real estate and what the process may look like for us. We had picked Ismael and his team due to hearing the great reviews from other family and friends. Having a real estate agent like Ismael who is knowledge and a great communicator made this process smooth. We would share our price point and must haves in a home and Ismael would always be able to deliver with these beautiful homes that suit us. When we found the home of our dreams, Ismael's efficiency was remarkable, his team expedited the paperwork and coordinated accordingly, leading to a quick sale. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ismael, his dedication to our satisfaction was evident in how he went go out of his way to accommodate our viewing schedules and provided honest advice on every property. We can't thank him enough :)!”

Review for Ismael Chavez
“64 days! 64 days is all it took for Ish and his team to help me and my husband sell our 1st home and buy our 2nd home. Unbelievable! The process was so smooth and Ish was always available to answer my hundreds of questions (always with a positive attitude too). I'm so thankful we had Ish on our side during this process. His years of experience really shows, this guy knows what he's taking about. He'll never steer you in the wrong direction just to make a sale. He truly puts his clients first in every decision. We saw a handful of houses but only made 1 offer on 1 house and we got it because of Ish's guidance.”
