Labrum Real Estate

We learned about Toni and Bob through a flyer we received.
And I am so grateful we did. We interviewed 3 other agents and felt Toni and Bob were the most honest and hard working. Our gut instinct served correct.
We were first time home sellers and Toni and Bob were so understanding and walked us through everything with patience and care.
They did a fabulous job on marketing our house through the MLS, Internet, flyers, personal references, etc. Toni also understood my anxiety about showing my house and helped me stage and had an open house at our convenience.
Lastly, they sold our house quickly with an over asking outcome.
We completely trusted Toni and Bob to sell our biggest investment, and they did an amazing job. You will receive a professional and hard working team if you choose Toni and Bob.

I have worked with Bob and Toni of Labrum Real Estate now for just about 10 years. Bob and Toni are top notch and always put their client’s best interest first. Bob and Toni make a great team. I have referred many clients to them. Bob and Toni take a lot of stress out of buying a home in this market! I highly recommend Bob and Toni.

Worked with this team in the summer of 2011 and decided I should post on here when I found out Unilocal had a Real Estate section. Typically I only post if something is very bad or very good. In this case, it’s the later. Bob and Toni did a great job for us. We stumbled upon them at an open house they were hosting a year prior and decided we would use them for any future house hunting. Sure enough, we found a beautiful short sale home in Temecula Wine Country a year later and the hunt was truely on. We were the first to see the home thanks to Bob’s initiative with the seller’s agent — we literally looked at it within a few hours of listing. Concurrenlty we made an offer that night and we we were suddenly in a bidding war with a host of cash buyers, of which we were not. Fortunately, thanks to Bob and Toni’s negotiation skills and experience we ended up winning the deal. I do not believe we would have ever gotten our dream home without Bob and Toni on the case. Ironically, we recommended some friends to them within a month of our purchase and they bought a beautiful home in Fallbrook. Not only are they great agents but they are great people. As a recent military retiree who respects honor, courage and commitment, I strongly believe Bob and Toni are the agents you would want working to get you the home of your dreams.

I worked with both of these agents almost 2 years ago and just found out they are on their own now. So i will copy my original post onto here about my dealings with these agents.
I bought a house using two of this offices agents almost a year ago. I recently found out the broker i used, who was recommended by the agents, did not add in any mello roos into my papers. This caused me to have a huge shortage, resulting in my mortgage to go up $ 500 a month. I contacted the agents and they told me to call the broker myself. I had a meeting with the broker she blamed them. These agents would not help me out in this matter at all. I had to call an agent from another company to come and look over my papers and help me figure out what went wrong. They have told me there is nothing they could do so they will not even attempt to offer any assistance to me. I am a military spouse whose husband is deployed, and i am now being told that i should sell my house. I have no where else to go, this house is all that we have and these agents are aware of this and refuse to help. please do not use this agency there are so many other companies in town that will be willing to offer you real help and advice, these people do not care about you once they get their money from you. I am now going to speak with a lawyer and see what can legally be done about this, since they will not offer me any advice at all.
So that was my original review of this «team». What i forgot to add was that they did not even find our house for us, we found it online they simply opened the door for us. They still got that same commission though. Just a follow up, thanks to my husband saving every email he ever sends, the original company had to pay our shortage. Those emails contained misinformation provided by Toni as well as her recommended Mortgage Broker. She let me know in one of the few calls she would take of mine, that they no longer did business with that Broker due to bad business deals they had with her. Thanks Labrum real estate, you guys are awesome, NOT! There are so many great agents out here don’t let these two fool you. Their website is full of them saying how customer oriented they are, and how they will do the best for the clients. All I can say is that if you buy a house from them, and they mess up, prepare to hunt them down because they will not help you at all.
