We had a wonderful experience working with Marcus to purchase our first home in Laguna Beach. He was incredibly professional and never pushy, which made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. The transaction was seamless, and we are truly enjoying our new home. Furthermore, we are so grateful to Marcus and Tammy for looking after the house while we transitioned from across the ocean; this was a significant help to us. Thank you both so much—we truly appreciate everything you have done. We would 100% recommend your services to anyone looking to settle down in this beautiful neighborhood.

marcus was awesome to work with! he is very knowledgeable about the market and negotiated a great deal for me for a great house. he also helped me post close and arranged tree trimmers, handy man, etc. i highly recommend him!!

Marcus Skenderian and his Compass Team made our home sale in Newport Beach go perfectly. They knew the area, understood the market, gave us great advice on preparing our home, and worked tirelessly (through Open Houses and showings) for us. We had multiple offers, and they helped us choose the most trouble free one. Definitely would use again!

Buying my first home in San Juan Capistrano was such a smooth and positive experience thanks to Luke Sydnor and the Marcus Skenderian Real Estate team. I initially reached out just for a consultation as a future buyer, but Luke and Marcus impressed me right away by taking real time to educate me, answer every question, and prepare me for the process. That early investment of care gave me complete trust in their guidance. When the right home hit the market, Luke moved fast and positioned my offer with the kind of insight and personality that won me the deal—beating out another offer already on the table. From there, he and his team connected me to an outstanding lender who had me cleared to close in just nine days. Their deep knowledge of South Orange County kept me confident through every contingency. What I appreciated most was the balance Luke struck between support and autonomy. He gave clear, expert advice but also encouraged my voice in the process. As someone who works in sales, I respect that kind of partnership. Looking back, the only thing I’d change is speaking up more myself (like asking for a professional clean before closing). As for Luke, I wouldn’t change a thing—he was excellent. I’ll absolutely work with him again, and I recommend him wholeheartedly. If you’re looking for a team that combines expertise, strategy, and genuine care, Luke and the MSRE team deliver at the highest level.

Working with Luke Sydnor, and Marcus, at Marcus Skenderian Real Estate was nothing short of outstanding. From day one, they were always available at the drop of a hat to show me any property I was interested in. When it came time to navigate a complex purchase, their expertise and persistence made all the difference in crossing the finish line. What really set them apart was their incredible depth of local knowledge surrounding the many intricacies of the Laguna Beach market. No detail was too small, and they always had insight that went far beyond the basics. Even more importantly, Luke and Marcus clearly prioritize building real relationships with their clients. They consistently went the extra mile in every regard, making the process not only smooth but enjoyable. At the end of the purchase, I didn’t just walk away with a property, I walked away with two friends. I constantly see both Luke and Marcus and their families around town, and they are truly incredible, genuine, high-quality people. If you want realtors who combine professionalism, high level local expertise, and genuine care for their clients, Luke and Marcus are second to none.
