JUNE 2025 HOMEWARD by Leo Esparza

 

🌸 June Real Estate Newsletter 🌸

Honoring Father Figures & Making a Difference—One Move at a Time

Happy Father’s Day!

June is a time of warmth, reflection, and celebration—especially for the father figures who have helped shape our lives in quiet but powerful ways. Whether it’s a dad, stepdad, grandfather, or someone who stepped in when it mattered most, this month we take a moment to honor the men who’ve shown us what it means to lead with integrity, strength, and heart.

A Legacy of Dedication

The very first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington in 1910, thanks to Sonora Smart Dodd, who sought to honor her father—a Civil War veteran and single parent to six children. Though it took decades to become a national holiday, Father’s Day has grown into a heartfelt reminder of the wisdom, consistency, and love that father figures offer in both big and small ways.

And in many ways, that same spirit inspires how we approach our work in real estate.

Real Estate with the Heart of a Father

At our core, we believe a great real estate experience should feel like you're being guided by someone you can trust—someone who shows up when it counts, explains things clearly, and helps you navigate unfamiliar territory with confidence.

With over 20 years of combined experience and more than 5,000 families served, we’ve fine-tuned a process that delivers results while keeping your stress low and your goals in focus—even in a shifting market.

Our Father’s Day Promise to You

In the spirit of helping others, here’s our special offer this month:

We’ll guarantee the sale of your home—or we’ll buy it at a price acceptable to you.*

That’s a bold promise—but it’s one we’re proud to offer because we believe you deserve clarity, confidence, and commitment from your real estate team.

We also offer a FREE, No-Obligation Consultation to help you or someone you care about explore your options. There’s no pressure—just real advice, clear strategies, and a plan that fits your life.

📞 Reach us at 909-437-1789 or 951-347-3906 to schedule your consultation.


Making Every Move Matter: Supporting CHOC

We’re not just in the business of real estate—we’re on a mission to give back. That’s why we’ve committed to raising $10,000 for CHOC (Children’s Hospital of Orange County), a place that delivers lifesaving care to kids and families in our community.

Here's How You Can Help:

✅ Refer a friend or family member to us
✅ They receive expert real estate service
✅ We donate a portion of our income to CHOC

Your referral is more than just a connection—it’s a chance to impact lives, both through real estate and through meaningful community support.


Thinking About Selling? Let’s Make It Simple.

Moving can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be. Our proven systems and client-first approach are designed to take the guesswork out of the process. This month, we’re offering:

🎯 A Guaranteed Sale or We'll Buy It Ourselves!
🎯 Most homes we list sell at or above market value
*
🎯 Complimentary Home Consultation

You’ll receive:

  • A breakdown of local market trends

  • Tailored strategies for buying or selling

  • Tips to boost your home’s value with minimal hassle

Let us turn your next move into a smooth, rewarding journey.


With Gratitude

To our past, present, and future clients—thank you. Your trust, referrals, and continued support mean everything to us. We’re here whenever you need honest advice, expert guidance, and a real estate experience that feels like family.

With appreciation,

MAY 2025 HOMEWARD by Leo Esparza

🌸 May Real Estate Newsletter 🌸
Happy Mother’s Day!

May is a month to celebrate the women who fill our lives with love, strength, and unwavering support. Whether it's your mom, grandma, stepmom, or a maternal figure who’s made a lasting impact—this is the perfect time to say thank you.

Did you know? The modern celebration of Mother’s Day dates back to the early 1900s, when Anna Jarvis led the charge to create a national holiday in honor of mothers. Today, it’s widely celebrated with heartfelt gestures—flowers, cards, breakfast in bed, and above all, appreciation.

At our real estate team, we’re proud to offer the same care and commitment that great moms provide—being there when it matters most. Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just exploring your options, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.


Thinking of Selling? Let’s Make It Simple.

Moving is a big life transition, and it’s perfectly natural to feel uncertain. But with our experience and proven systems, we make the process clear, stress-free, and successful from start to finish.

🎯 This May, take advantage of our exclusive offer:
We guarantee to sell your home at a price you agree on—or we’ll buy it ourselves!*
Our results speak for themselves: most homes we list sell at or above market value.

Let us turn your next move into a smooth and rewarding journey.

  • Local market trends

  • Strategic options for buying or selling

  • Tips to maximize value with minimal hassle

📞 Call us today: 909-437-1789 or 951-347-3906


Making a Difference: Helping Kids Through CHOC

Here’s how you can help:
✅ Refer a friend or family member to us

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

St. Patrick’s Day, celebrated every March 17th, is a day filled with parades, green everything, and, of course, the search for a little bit of luck. The holiday honors St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who, according to legend, drove the snakes out of Ireland (though historians say there were never snakes there to begin with).

One of the most well-known symbols of the holiday is the four-leaf clover. Finding one is said to bring good fortune because only about 1 in 5,000 clovers has four leaves instead of three. That’s a lot of searching for a little bit of luck!

But when it comes to buying or selling a home, luck shouldn’t have to play a role. While some might hope to stumble upon the perfect deal the way you’d find a lucky clover, we take a different approach—one based on strategy, experience, and a proven system that delivers results.

As you know, the decision to pack up your life and move to a new home comes with a lot of pressure and uncertainty. Along with the countless details to manage and a rollercoaster of emotions, there are significant financial concerns. Will the sale of your home meet both your expectations and needs?

With our experience of working with over 5,000 families over the last 20 years, we’ve developed a special program to help homeowners make their move Fast, For Top Dollar and with the Least Hassle!

For the month of March, you can let anyone you know who’s looking to make a move know that we will guarantee the Sale of their Home within 60 Days or We'll Pay Them $1,000.*

I know there’s some risk on my part to make such an incredible guarantee, but we are selling just about every home we list for the market value price - sometimes even more - so there is no reason for area homeowners or your friends and family to fret about selling right now. They will be in good hands with our team.

If you or anyone you know is considering making a move, I would like to offer them a FREE No Obligation to Move Consultation to discuss just how they can make their move, get what they want, and do it with the least hassle.

We’re grateful we got to do business with you and I’m confident that your referrals will be grateful that you steered them in the right direction to help them get their home sold!

If you know someone thinking about making a move, don’t leave it to chance—send them our way! And when you refer them to us, you’re not just helping a friend or family member; you’re also contributing to a worthy cause.

Giving Back: Helping Kids in Need Another way we’re on a mission to help others is through our tangible and meaningful support of young people who need it most.

We are on a mission to raise $10,000 for CHOC—a nonprofit hospital that provides unparalleled care for children and their families in our community. CHOC is committed to advancing pediatric healthcare through innovative treatments, groundbreaking research, and compassionate support services—all designed to ensure every child gets the best chance at a happy, healthy future.

A portion of our income from home sales is donated to this very worthy cause.

YOUR REFERRALS HELP THE KIDS overcome sickness, pain, and setbacks, giving them the magical adventure of their dreams.

How You Can Help Who do you know considering buying or selling a home that you could refer to my real estate sales team? When you refer someone who is buying or selling a home to my team, everyone wins:

✅ Those you refer benefit from award-winning real estate service ✅ CHOC receives a donation that makes dreams come true ✅ Families in need get to experience an accessible storybook home-away-from-home

Just give me a call or pass my number on to anyone you know considering buying or selling. Our number is 909-437-1789 or 951-347-3906.

It’s important to help others when we can, so I’m grateful to have this connection with each of you. By passing on some information, you can help others experience a smooth, anxiety-free process if they need to make a move.

With all my appreciation, Leo Esparza & Hasina Hason

P.S. See what a little effort to help others can mean! Check out the story of this young person enclosed—the smile on their face says it all.
