Professional : When I first entered into a professional relationship with Robert Bryson and Clark Smith I was indeed impressed with not only their very evident professional knowledge of real estate, but just as important to me, an attitude that showed sincerity. Both went far beyond what one could normally expect from real estate agents. They are a credit to the real estate profession. I would recommend them without hesitating to anyone seeking real services.

Dedicated : Bob Bryson and Clark Smith possess a level of expertise and professionalism unequalled in the Orange County real estate brokerage community. Quality performance: skilled, experienced dedicated to the deal, professional.
Norma and Bill Dettelbach (real estate brokers)

Realatrends has been our agent for the sale of two homes and the purchase of two homes. We are very impressed with Realatrends' ability to handle difficult transactions with complete professionalism. We wanted to purchase a home from a developer and we contacted Clark and Bob, informing them of our desire. Fortunately, they were able to represent us to the developer. After moving in and meeting the neighbors we were happy to find that Realatrends had negotiated the best deal on the block, by far. We wouldn't consider using any other real estate agency and highly recommend Realatrends to all of our friends and neighbors.

Thank you for the extra effort in getting me through the Sunset project. Your continuing support and follow up has been invaluable. I can't believe there is a finer, more responsive real estate firm available. My new Three Arch Bay property is perfect.
John Frank

Integrity : Realatrends brings a high level of integrity, professionalism and personal grace to the business of real estate brokerage, a business that, in the hands of so many others, is beset by hyperbole and hucksterism. They have skillfully handled difficult situations encountered in several difficult transactions for me.
Keary Gregg (architect and professional real estate investor)

Clark and Bob, my wife and I are pleased to state that working with you when we helped our son Steve in the purchase of his home, was a very pleasant experience. Your courtesy and straight forward manner were much appreciated, and we wish you the best.

Katie and Roberto Guerrero

Clark and Bob, you helped us so much with our purchase of real estate. Your expert advice saved us thousands of dollars both on the purchase price and closing costs. We are always comfortable referring our friends and acquaintances to your office because we know that they will receive the same professional treatment that we always have.
Michael and Loraine Huber (real estate brokers)

Ethical : We left Laguna prior to selling our home so that our children
ethical could start school on time. Realatrends handled each sales hurdle that was encountered with calm professionalism. The team at Realatrends knows Laguna and all the local problem solvers who will get the job done. They work hard, they're ethical and they deliver results. No question, they got us the most money possible in the time frame allowed.

Patience : Bob Bryson and Clark Smith are extremely knowledgeable and hard working real estate agents. We looked for several years, and with their help (and patience) found the perfect house for us. They helped us with financing contacts, contractors, and they continued to be in contact with us to see how we're doing. We recommend them without reservation. They're good and they care.
Steve and Susann Bauman

We hired Bob and Clark of Realatrends to sell our home. We were very pleased with the professional manner in which all aspects of the sale were handled. We again chose Realatrends to handle the purchase of our new home. They found just the perfect house that wasn't even on the market. They negotiated an excellent price. We highly recommend Realatrends.
Bob Metcalf and Greg Wheeler

I would encourage anyone buying or selling property in South Orange County to rely on Clark Smith and Bob Bryson to handle the deal. They are undoubtedly the best, most professional realtors I have ever known. They have my utmost confidence.
Dr. Larry Snyder

Excellent : Clark and Bob, this was the third home we had sold over the last 17 years, each time we prayed we would find an agent that would work for US. We interviewed (each time) several agents and with Realatrends we found professional representation; frank, straight forward advice in setting our price, strong representation, excellent follow up, all calls answered very fast. Your entire staff was well appraised of our escrow development. The bottom line - you get results with Realatrends.
John and Sandra Macatee

Trust : Clark Smith and Bob Bryson are genuine professionals who can work with the most problematic situations and resolve them in an amicable manner. You can trust their word in all areas of real estate as they are so knowledgeable. It's a pleasure doing business with Realatrends.

I purchased a home in Monarch Beach from Realatrends. It was a pleasure working with both Robert Bryson and Clark Smith, I never felt pressured in any respect and they always did what they said they would and were always prompt. I look forward to working with them again in the future.
Jerry Frey

I was referred to Bob & Clark approximately ten years ago when we were looking to move to Three Arch Bay. It was four years later that we actually made the move, but they stuck with us and were always professional, knowledgeable, and honest in their approach to our needs. I consider them friends and respected colleagues (I am in commercial real estate), and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate.
Bob Harman

Straight Forward : We have done business with Realatrends for the past ten years, We find that Clark Smith & Bob Bryson follow through on all projects. They are straight forward and keep us updated on the status of our business dealings. We depend on this input.
Paula Henry & Darleen Miller

Realatrends had sold and located a new home for my brother-in-law who was very happy with your services. Since you'd done so well by him, we listed our property with you and sold it for what you suggested we ask - a fair price. It was a pleasure to work with you. Everyone in your office was so nice. Thanks again,
Mary Healy

Truly a professional team. You receive double the work, effort and enthusiasm. Two experts instead of one! A winning duo.
Judy Secord


Worth their weight in gold : You have the ability and reputation to complete the deal.There are brokers who can get a listing and who can market a property, however a broker that has the ability, as Bob Bryson and Clark Smith, to market and complete a transaction with all the nuances real estate can present is unusual and difficult to find. Once found they are worth their weight in gold! Bob Bryson and Clark Smith are the caliber of individuals that can finish what they start. They are committed to do what it takes and it shows.
David and Marhnelle Hibbard (real estate brokers)

Negotiation skills : The selection of an agent is the single most critical action you can take. In my view Realatrends has no equal. I manage an international sales organization and I have a high degree of respect for professional, sales ability, follow up and just plain intelligence. These people have professional negotiation skills par excellence.
Victoria and Nick Broxs

We had our home on the market `For Sale by Owner' for longer than I care to say. We tried listing with other agents and were very dissatisfied. You were strongly recommended to us.You took the weight off our shoulders. You marketed our property in a professional,business-like manner and kept us informed throughout. You helped us obtain the best deal possible. When it was time to buy you knew we were discriminating buyers and we challenged you to find the one special house for us, of course you did. Realatrends fulfilled all our goals.
Carol and Stewart Sandeman

set new standards : We would like to express our sincere thanks and deep appreciation for the way you both handled the sale of our Laguna property. Your overall professionalism, attention to details and communicative follow-through set new standards in an industry that has been plagued by inexperienced and incapable performers. We owe Kevin Shipman a great deal for recommending your company. Again, thank you for transforming a difficult challenge into an enjoyable opportunity.
