The Mashburn Zell Group

Brian has been exemplary on all transactions. This most recent is my sixth transaction and I couldn't be more pleased. He has always been accessible, very knowledgeable, and professional. I really appreciate his calm and patient demeanor. He's a great listener and has been there for me during difficult times when real estate issues were stressful. He is honest and kind and I consider him a friend.

Samantha Zell was awesome to work with. She did a great job marketing the property. She communicated well and often answered my questions before I even asked them. Even though we were on the market for awhile, we ended up with multiple offers and the home sold for more than list price. Her creativity for marketing and staging was the reason. I strongly recommend Samantha, and The Zell Group

Blake and his team were all a pleasure to work with. I felt we were in good hands, very professional! Blake and his team made the entire process run smoothly. They had great patience, always answered every question. I felt very informed throughout the process. I could not have been happier. Thanks so very much!

I wouldn't hesitate to refer friends or family to Brian Zell. His feel and knowledge of the areas is remarkable. He pays attention and listens carefully to the buyers wish list but also is open to showing other potential desirable properties. I particularly liked the fact he was accessible and very prompt about communicating. During a holiday period he responded to text and emails. We shopped and found a home and closed escrow all in less than one month.

Blake and his team were great! Even in a slowing market, we were able to get multiple offers and sell the house in a timely manner. Blake is very receptive and listens to what the seller wants and needs. He does beat around the bush and is very honest. Gotta sell your house... BETTER CALL BLAKE!!!

Brian and Samantha are a wonderful team. They handled the sale of our home wonderfully, and answered all of our questions quickly and completely.

What a wonderful experience we have had with them, and would highly

recommend their team to anyone thinking of buying or selling their home.

From going on market to the first offer was less than two weeks. Wonderful experience and handling of our home sale. They truly care about your needs and concerns. We can't recommend them enough!

Blake was an excellent broker, he was honest and candid in his input towards our ultimate home choice. Additionally he provided insight in to further support towards evaluating property suitability. He went above and beyond in assisting us with efforts to find an interim rental, he also stepped up to close gaps that arose due to shotcomings of the selling agency. He maintained a steady and freindly demeanor through multiple unexpected issues that arose due to unforseen circumstances.

Blake was a consumate professional, even keeled, polite, courteous and patient.

Blake helped to formulate a solid offer strategy and performed flawlessly when negotiating repair requests and property price.

Blake was fully engaged and a great broker. The whole family enjoyed working with Blake.

Brian took the time to ask and understand what it was that I was looking for while giving suggestions I hadn't even thought about. He continued to communicate with me ensuring he found the right place and what made the most sense for me. Do not hesitate to work with Brian on any purchase of your new home. He's polite and extremely professional. I thank him for his time and commitment to helping me find my new home.

Brian Zell and his team provided excellent service. They were professional, knowledgeable with the market, very friendly, communicated well, flexible, and did an awesome job at the open house. Brian made this transaction so smooth and we were just so happy with the whole process. Would definitely recommend Brian Zell to anyone in the Ventura region.

Blake Mashburn came highly recommended from a mutual contact and, after my experience working with him in finding and buying my first home, it's clear as to why. Blake worked his magic and because of it, my offer was accepted and now I am enjoying my first home. In this crazy current market, I was feeling defeated but eventually I had to switch realtors and in came Blake to the rescue!

Buying a home can be scary and intimidating but Blake made it a smooth process with his efficient communication and fast responses. He provided a clear understanding every step of the home buying process and made my life so much easier!

I will continue recommending Blake and his team to anyone looking to purchase a home. I am forever grateful to him for all of his help. I don't think I'd have my home if it weren't for him. He is the best out there.

Better call Blake!!

He was a joy to work with. He answered all our questions. Very helpful. Very patient with all of our desires. Would recommend him to anyone looking for property in this area.

The purchase went easily for us. Brian did a lot of work to accomplish the purchase.

Very professional with a friendly attitude. Could not ask for a more perfect salesman. As I said before, we will purchase with Brian in the future.

We are so impressed that we will have him assist in another purchase in the future

I had bought a house in Ventura about a year ago and because of work we had to move. Since I didn't know anyone local I put my house up for sale with one of those big internet real estate companies. After about six weeks of no offers or interest I felt that the big company was useless. So I mentioned this to my neighbor and he recommended Blake.

I reached out to Blake and after about 15 minutes I realized he was much more knowledgeable and professional. He confidently said he can sell my house, he's been in the Ventura area for a long time so I felt that he knew it in more detail.

He and his team had great ideas to better market it and to give it more curb appeal.

Within 2 weeks we had an attractive offer and the house has been sold. I'm grateful to Blake and his team for helping us. I will definitely reach out to him if we're ever lucky enough to move back to Ventura.

I have had the pleasure of working with Brian Zell on two purchases and will be working with him on an upcoming sale. He has impressed me with his honesty, reliability, kindness, and availability. I refer him to everyone I can and have thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

I was a first-time buyer when we met and he guided me through every step and was always concerned for my interests. I felt like a close friend or family member was working on my behalf.

He was incredibly generous with him time and went the extra mile over and over again.

Blake Mashburn is a stellar broker. He listens, knows the area extremely well and is very helpful.

He is an outstanding professional who helped me find and buy exactly the house I wanted.

Working with Brian Zell was a positive and rewarding experience, His professionalism and knowledge was exceptional.

Brian was always available to answer questions as well as keeping me informed of my responsibilities as a seller. Brian shared his expertise on how to stage the home to appeal to prospective buyers. I had multiple offers above asking price and the home sold in 3 days.

If you are looking for an honest, hard working, professional realtor, Brian Zell would be an excellent choice.

We had a great experience working with Blake Mashburn and his associate Lori Stern to sell our house in Oxnard. Blake did an excellent job getting us a great price in a market that was beginning to soften. We were very impressed with Blake's knowledge and preparation from our first meeting, and found both Blake and Lori to be professional, efficient and a pleasure to work with. We're planning to use them to sell an additional property and will enthusiastically recommend them to others.

Brian Zell is professional, honest, and accessible. He listens to the clients needs and works hard to make certain the entire process is as painless as possible. Brian has helped me sell two homes and purchase one; all transactions were completed in the expected time and with the expected results. Buy and Sell with Zell!

Blake followed up on every detail, and we always felt like he and Lori were putting our interests first. He's a wonderful person to work with, and we will certainly recommend him to everyone we can. We couldn't be happier with the service he and Lori provided!
