Testimonials
“Need an excellent realtor? Look no further than Ratowsky Real Estate Group. They sold my house a few years ago and were absolutely amazing. Very professional in every way, never pressured me in any way, were always there for me and were like a dream to work with. I will be forever thankful for everything they did for me.”
Rose Krejci
Seller
“I'm writing this review from my comfy couch in my amazing new home thinking about how I wouldn't even be here without Craig and Justin Ratowsky. They coached us through the offer process and eventually the stressful counter offers and final offers. They truly have the hearts of teachers and wanted us to feel comfortable and confident in all the micro decisions that need to be made in the buying process. It's been almost 6 months now and I just got another follow up. There's nothing in it for them anymore, the deal is long done, but they seriously care about us.”
Aaron Potter
First-time buyer, Old Town Orange
“I purchased my first home with Craig in 1988 and from the inception, Craig has been the consummate professional. Since then, I have been fortunate to have worked with Craig on additional home purchases and sales. In every instance, Craig always came through with professionalism, consistent follow-up and served as my advocate. Craig's son, Justin, has quickly become knowledgeable and just as professional as Craig. Moving forward, I will continue to be in good hands with either Craig or Justin.”
William Reardon
Buyer & seller, client since 1988
“Craig and Justin... what a Dream Team! I told them I was going to need someone to hold my hand through the process of selling my home of 25 years, and they did exactly that. They even came to the house to be present when painters, carpet layers, and estate sale people came to give estimates. They held an amazing open house one weekend which garnered multiple offers. Four days later, I had accepted an offer for $100,000 over asking.”
Cathy
Seller, 25-year homeowner
“Craig and Justin were efficient and considerate from beginning to end when I needed to sell two houses in a rather tense family trust situation. I do not believe many Huntington Beach Realtors would have persisted through the difficulties that came up, but this team did. They went over and above by offering to do things I could not because I lived 8 hours away, such as arranging repairs, upgrades, and furniture storage. I would contract with them again without hesitation. What's the highest rating here? I give them higher.”
Dr. Debra Brown Schneider
Seller, family trust, out of state
“When it came to buy our dream home in Huntington Beach there was only one choice and one team. Craig Ratowsky and his son Justin Ratowsky. Buying a house when you are out of state is extremely stressful. Craig and Justin always looked for the best interest of our family and what our 'wants' were and not their 'needs.' Both Justin and Craig were on top of every appointment, transaction, and made sure our family did not just find a house but a home. In Craig and Justin we trust!”
