My Mission Is Simple: Protect Your Equity Like It’s My Own
I don’t approach real estate with hype. I approach it with strategy, transparency, and accountability. Sellers who work with me get the full benefit of my expertise as:
- A Real Estate Broker licensed Realtor since 2007
- A Mortgage Loan Originator (NMLS Certified)
- A Certified Probate & Trust Specialist
- A Master Certified Negotiation Expert (MCNE)
- A Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI), a designation held by only a fraction of agents who commit to advanced education and high professional standards
- A multi-certified, nationally designated REALTOR® with deep knowledge in probate, relocation, downsizing, short sales, staging, military moves, and more
A rare combination of being both a Real Estate Broker and a Mortgage Loan Originator allows me to handle multiple aspects of the transaction, especially in helping sellers understand a buyer’s loan readiness. I can keep a close eye on the mortgage approval process and help ensure the escrow stays on track and doesn’t fall apart at the last minute due to preventable financing issues.
There’s also a lot of fine print hidden in today’s real estate forms and regulations. Seller and buyer representation is no longer what it was just a few years ago. I help my clients fully understand these new rules, especially the ones others might overlook or neglect. It’s about protecting your decisions before problems arise.
Local Roots. Long-Term Perspective.
I’ve lived in Orange County for over 40 years, spending most of that time in Irvine, Lake Forest, and a few years in Riverside. I know this region deeply, not just the property lines, but the lifestyle, the neighborhoods, the transitions families go through.
Real estate isn’t just about what a home is worth. It’s about what it means to you and how you exit or enter that chapter without regret.
What Makes My Approach Different?
I believe in thinking like the other side. Whether you’re selling or buying, success starts by understanding:
- What’s most important to you and to them
- Where there’s flexibility
- What to negotiate and when to stay silent
Yes, I coach my sellers to “loose lips sink ships.” It works.
My Top Strengths
- Strategic Negotiation: Trained at the highest level
- Dual-Licensed Expertise: Real Estate + lending means smarter decisions
- Hyper-Local Resources: Tools, market insights, and connections you won’t find in an app
When Results Matter
While I don’t take on a high volume of sales, I focus deeply on the clients I serve:
- Sold properties for up to 23% above appraised value
- Managed entire listings for out-of-state and out-of-country sellers
- Coordinated clean-outs, repairs, vendors, and daily updates from prep to close
This is hands-on, concierge-level service because you shouldn’t have to chase your agent.
Presentation Matters: Even When a Home Isn’t Perfect
If you’re confident your home isn’t in perfect condition, don’t panic and definitely don’t pull back on marketing. Cutting corners or taking shortcuts on photography, property promotion, or visibility only hurts your final outcome.
No matter what shape the home is in, reducing services or negotiating away marketing to “save on commission” almost always backfires. It tends to attract lower-quality buyers, drive weaker offers, and delay the sale. Every home deserves a strong launch.

- Home prep advice, staging tips, repair guidance
- Professional photography and custom marketing

Whether you’re local or remote, I work like your eyes and ears on the ground.
Client Experiences
“From two continents away, he became our eyes, ears, and hands on the ground. He never lost patience, never raised his voice, and never let us feel alone in the process. We are deeply grateful.”
— Rachel & Richard Sandoval, Denmark & Canada
“Deepak didn’t let the buyers push us around. He stood firm every time the buyer’s side tried to bully their way through… This wasn’t an easy sale — it was a fight. And Deepak stayed in it from start to finish.”
— Stan Abe, Huntington Beach
“If Deepak does something that doesn’t make sense in the beginning, don’t worry — it will turn out good. And in our case, it turned out far better than we expected… The final result — the ‘pudding,’ as I joked with him — was excellent.”
— Jim & Family, Our Orange County Estate
“Deepak’s probate experience and calm guidance made the entire process feel safe, steady, and well-managed. He secured the home for us below the asking price — something we didn’t expect in this market.”
— Marc Family, Whittier
“We closed on time and we’re very happy in our Stonegate home. We still don’t know how he pulled it off, but we’re grateful he did.”
— Rahul & Manisha Patel, Irvine
“Probate requires a different level of precision, and Deepak delivered that from beginning to end. He protected us at every stage of the transaction.”
— Gnanashanmugam Elumalai, Irvine
