Listings
Homes for sale across Orange County, straight from CRMLS.
What homes actually sell for tells you more than any list price.
Plan Your Budget
A rough starting point for your budget conversation — not a loan quote.
For illustration only. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, HOA dues and mortgage insurance will vary. Thomas is a real estate agent, not a lender — talk with a licensed lender for a loan quote.
The Bigger Picture
Thomas also leads True North Financial Group. When you want it, your home plan can connect to the rest of your finances. No pressure — it's there when it helps.
Insurance and financial services are offered separately through True North Financial Group and are not affiliated with eXp Realty.
Vietnamese-Language Service
Clear communication is the foundation of every good negotiation. Thomas works with families in Vietnamese from the first conversation to closing day — contracts, disclosures and all.

Common Questions
Thomas works throughout Orange County, with a focus on Irvine, Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Lake Forest, Garden Grove, Westminster and Mission Viejo.
Yes. Thomas speaks English and Vietnamese and can explain contracts, disclosures and every step of the process in either language.
It depends on the loan program — some allow a low down payment, others require more. A licensed lender can confirm what you qualify for, and Thomas can connect you with lenders and help you plan around the numbers.
Online estimates are a starting point, but they can't see your home's condition or upgrades. Request a free home value review and Thomas will prepare a price range based on recent comparable sales nearby.
Real estate commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable. Fees and representation terms are explained up front and confirmed in a written agreement before any work begins.
It isn't required to start looking, but a pre-approval letter shows your realistic budget and makes your offer stronger. Most buyers benefit from getting pre-approved early.
