If you want a real estate team that is professional, knowledgeable and ready to make your transaction as easy as possible, then Dina, Mike and the rest of the team at Origin Real Estate is who you need to call. They assisted us every step of the way, from showing up with market data the first day we met, to providing references for roofers, landscapers and cleaners. They helped generate 10 offers and navigated us through a quick and painless sales process that netted us top dollar. You couldn’t ask for a better team to work with. 5+ Stars!

Origin Real Estate has been managing my rental property for over two years now and it’s been a smooth ride. I didn’t have to do anything but collect my money. Recently thought I had a surprise real estate deal that came my way so I decided to check with Dina to get a second opinion. I end up being surprised to actually learn something about property that helped me to leverage the deal. It is great to deal with a company that not only have a wide range of real estate experience but also up to date with all the newest laws and regulations. Thank you team!

Dina, Mike, and the Origin Real Estate Team have been my property managers for over 5 years now, and in that time they have met and exceeded every single one of my expectations relating to my home and rental housing needs. We've executed rental exchanges, multiple mortgage and re-fi originations, renter searches and verifications, problem-prone tenants, property remodels and repairs, all without issue or incident. Dina is an absolute life-long professional in this field, and I trust her implicitly to look after my interests as a property owner, as well as to recommend the best course of action in any situation without passion, prejudice, or an ulterior motive.

The Origin real estate team will exceed your expectations. I was very fortunate to work with Dina Clem. She really made me feel secure every step of the way. I expressed my time frame concerns and she was very responsive to what I needed to do to make my sale happen. The attention to detail was impressive. She is a true professional!!

We listed our home with Dina Clem of Origin Realtors in May 2021. From the moment we enlisted Dina everything went smoothly. Her expert advice helped us prepare our home to show. Dina, as well as her team were always available to us and answered all our questions. We were beyond ecstatic when our home sold the first weekend.
We highly recommend Dina Clem of Origin Realtors!

I have nothing but great things to say about Origin Real Estate, Mike Clem and his team.

I own a small fitness business and unfortunately was forced to move locations during the pandemic. Over the course of nine months Mike worked with me to find a new location.

First off, Mike is an excellent communicator. He addresses any concerns, questions, and follow ups professionally, quickly, and with patience.

Second, he is extremely knowledgeable about negotiating. He completely turned an entire lease agreement from being favorable to the landlord to favorable to me in only one proposed edit to the lease agreement.

Third, he genuinely cared about getting me the best location and lease terms. Mike was constantly finding new and unlisted properties. He helped me weigh all my options and make the best decision.

My business is now thriving at its new location. I could not be happier with how my tough situation ended up turning out. I am proud to have worked with Mike and I hope to do so again in the future.

I have worked with several Real Estate agents before and during the pandemic, but they just didn't work out especially as the pandemic/market got worse. My husband & I are so grateful that we met Heather, Mike, & Dina of the Origin team.

They helped my sister sell her home while she was also purchasing a new home. All in Costa Mesa. My sister raved about how they made the transactions so smooth, quick, and low-stress!

With all the stress surrounding the pandemic real estate market, it was very reassuring to have Origin by our side. They took the time to re-group and re-strategize with us during the quick/ever-changing market. They gave us hope when we started to feel discouraged. They were extremely accommodating when it came to meeting up to see houses, and they were quick to reach out to seller's agents when we showed interest in a home. Their patience (they definitely had a LOT of this), dedication, and hard work allowed us to close on a duplex in Aug 2021 & locked in a 2.99% rate at a great price in the South Coast Metro area!

Their help didn't stop here either - the SELLER and his AGENT FAILED to follow through with the terms of our offer agreement/contract. They even became unresponsive. It's as though the seller's agent abandoned everything once we closed! If you want to know his name, DM me! Origin had no tolerance for this and they had our backs the entire time and fought for us even when they didn't have to!

To Heather, Mike, & Dina - words cannot describe how thankful we are for all of your hard work, patience, compassion, and understanding. These were challenging times for everyone, but you remained positive, hopeful, and flexible. You all have beautiful hearts and are a true blessing from God! We are so happy to have crossed paths with you! Because of you, my husband & I have began our dream of real estate investing with the purchase of our first home/investment property! We're also pregnant now! Truly, from the bottom of our hearts - Thank You!

I just completed my second property purchase with the Origin Team, and for the second time, they have exceeded my expectations and have been a pleasure to work with. This Team keeps their eye on the prize to get the deal done and move quickly through any obstacles that might come up, as if they were never there. They are results oriented, very quick to action, and excellent at communication. While I worked with them, they made me feel like I was their only client, when I know they were also partnering with tons of other Buyers and Sellers. It is a testament to their high level of communication and drive that they could make me feel so important. Thank you to the Origins Team for another happy property acquisition. Looking forward to the next one!
