By far the best real estate team with whom we have worked. Incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and straightforward. Never any drama. Always sensitive to all of our priorities and everything else that was happening in our lives. Always ready with good and sound advice without imposing their own opinions, allowing us to feel very comfortable with every decision at each step along the way. We loved them!!!

Lori and Andy were by far the best real estate team with whom we have worked. So knowledgeable, organized, and straightforward. Never any drama. Always incredibly sensitive to everything that we were dealing with and always keeping our priorities and well-being in mind. We never had to worry about anything during the entire process.

Would definitely buy our next home with the Orions again!! We had several friends who referred us to them, and we're so glad they did. A few things that stood out from our experience: 1) they spent time upfront getting a clear picture of what we needed and wanted and were able to use that perspective effectively throughout the process 2) they were generous with their time as we viewed properties and talked through every little detail. I remember Lori sitting on the floor with a level to find the slightest slant in the flooring that might have required future work. 3) they were comfortable pushing back when we were undecided about a tradeoff of a home and it clearly didn't meet our needs. There was one home in particular when we were on the fence, and Lori mentioned " this is not your place" because of x/y/z reason, and she was 100% right and steered us clear of a mistake.

We worked with Andy and Lori to purchase our first home in Palo Alto. I really appreciated their thorough process and their patience and willingness to meet us at open houses both during the week and during weekends. In many homes, Lori especially shared very candid feedback and was never attempting to "sell" us on a home, which we appreciated. When it was time to put in an offer, they supported us through the negotiation, even to a surprising degree - in the home we purchased, they were quite aggressive with price negotiations, well beyond what I would expect for a party who would benefit from a higher sales price. One minor issue with our experience is that we essentially did all of our own sourcing via Redfin; they never or rarely identified homes off market or that we didn't find on our own, though this may reflect of the low housing inventory in our market. Overall I had a very positive experience and would work with them again.

We have been involved in seven property purchases and sales in the Bay Area since 2020, and the last three transactions were with Andy and Lori. Having worked with multiple agents over the years, I can say without hesitation that Andy and Lori are in a different league. They are exceptionally responsive, knowledgeable, and effective. Throughout every transaction, they were always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and help navigate challenges. At the same time, they were never pushy and consistently focused on helping us make the decisions that were right for our family. Their deep experience in the Bay Area market, extensive local network, and outstanding reputation proved invaluable. Whether it was identifying opportunities, understanding market dynamics, coordinating inspections and contractors, or negotiating effectively, they consistently delivered results. Their relationships and credibility within the local real estate community clearly opened doors and helped transactions move smoothly. Most importantly, we always felt that Andy and Lori were genuine advocates for our interests. Buying and selling real estate can be stressful, but they brought professionalism, integrity, and a steady hand to every step of the process. We give Andy and Lori our highest recommendation and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.

Choosing a home is one of the biggest and most difficult decisions in life, and it's so important to have professionals you can truly trust -- people who will guide you through every step, answer all your questions, and never let you down. That's exactly why we chose Andy and Lori! We are an immigrant family who had absolutely no idea how the home buying process works in the USA. We didn't know the laws, the steps, or what to expect, and honestly, we were afraid of running into dishonest people without having the right support. That's why, based on a recommendation from a friend, we reached out to Andy and Lori. From our very first phone call, we knew we wanted to work with them. We had countless questions, and our process took quite a long time, but throughout the entire journey they treated us with patience, understanding, and genuine care. They were always ready to help and answer every single one of our questions -- even the silly ones. We are incredibly grateful to Andy and Lori for helping us find our dream home. We truly appreciate all of their hard work, dedication, and support. Our home brings us joy every single day, and we couldn't have done it without them. Thank you so much, Andy and Lori!

As first-time homebuyers, we couldn't have asked for a better experience than working with Andy and Lori. They were incredibly patient, taking the time to explain every step of the process and making sure we felt confident in our decisions. What we appreciated most was that they never felt pushy; it was clear they cared more about us finding the right home than just making a sale. Everything was handled 'by the book,' and their professional communication with the seller's realtor was undoubtedly what helped get our offer through in a competitive market. We are so happy with our new home and will definitely be reaching out to Andy and Lori again when it's eventually time to sell!

Working with Andy and Lori was hands-down the best decision of our home-buying journey. Their deep expertise in the Peninsula market was invaluable. They kept us informed every step of the way and truly listened to our preferences. In such a high-stakes and competitive environment, making a winning offer is intimidating, but their wise guidance took the stress out of the process. When we finally found 'the one,' it was Andy and Lori's stellar reputation and strategic negotiation that beat out multiple, close offers. From the first tour to a seamless closing, their attention to detail was flawless. We can't recommend them enough for anyone looking to buy or sell a home on the Peninsula.
