How does Greg Toussieng work with a seller?
Greg starts with the price, and he builds it from homes that actually sold near yours in the last few months, adjusted for size, condition, lot, view and anything that sets your home apart. You get that analysis in writing before you sign a listing agreement, along with a plan for what to fix, how the home will be photographed and how it will be shown.
Once the home is on the market, Greg runs the showings and takes the calls from buyers' agents himself. You hear from him on a set schedule with the showing count, the feedback and any offers, and he negotiates each offer with you. His commission is negotiable, and he puts it in writing at the start.
The selling guide walks through each step, and the home value page is the place to start if you want a written price for your address.
How does Greg Toussieng work with a buyer?
Greg starts a buyer with the numbers: what you can comfortably pay, the down payment and the monthly cost once property tax, insurance and any HOA dues are added. Then he narrows the search to the streets you would actually live on, because in Orange County a few blocks can change the view, the noise and the price.
Before touring, buyers sign a written agreement with Greg that sets out what he does and how he is paid. He tours with you, pulls the recent sales for any home you like, writes the offer and negotiates the inspection and repairs. The buying guide has the full process.

Is Greg Toussieng connected to Choice Home Mortgage?
Yes. Greg and Esther Buede run Choice Home Mortgage together, and it is a trade name of the same corporation as the Gregory James Group.
