License Numbers: CA 01386780, CA 02149582
Hello and Welcome
My Story
My name is Jeff Petsche and I am a Southern California native, father to two beautiful daughters, Courtney and Nicole, and family comes first! I am engaged to be married to my life partner, Amy, who has two children, Thomas and Julia. Having a blended family is amazing and can be crazy at times, and we would not have it any other way.
Together we love all things outdoors, especially if we can share the moments with our children, family and friends. I personally enjoy camping, hiking, golfing, riding my Peloton bike to nowhere, travel (both domestic and abroad) and pour painting.
After serving four years in the United States Air Force and giving 13 additional years to my community as a law enforcement officer in Newport Beach, CA, I received a medical retirement from the police department in 2003 and immediately began my career in real estate. Fast forward over 20+ years, I am now the Broker of Record for a full-service real estate company (NextHome Legacy) serving Orange County, CA and surrounding areas, and Team Lead for Petsche Real Estate Group.
Although my primary role is to oversee Broker related matters for NextHome Legacy and insure compliance for the brokerage, I still work with clients from time-to-time who are either referred to me from others, or are past clients.

Recommendations
Jeff was very helpful and informative helping us sell our condo. He kept us constantly updated throughout the whole process. I recommend Jeff for any of your real estate needs.
Jeff is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Hes super flexible and I could not have gone through this process without him being a first time home buyer. Real estate is no joke and he knows his stuff!
Got the house we wanted in a tough market. Jeff was very patient and thorough helping us find a property that would work for us, even in a very competitive market.
This is my first time navigating the real estate market and I was taken away with the experience I had with Jeff! He was able to guide me through each step, break down terminology I wasn't familiar with, and truly help find the right home for me. I liked
that he always took into consideration my "deal breakers" and provided tools like HomeSpotter to effectively search for potential homes. Jeff is very prompt, I easily called/texted with questions or follow-ups. One thing that stood out to me is his flexibility.
He was able to accommodate last minute showings and provide options when it came to writing out offers. In addition to that, he provided different perspectives like safety concerns that I would have never considered when it came to searching for homes. He
took the initiate to try different strategies and help me be a competitive buyer.
My wife and I have known Jeff for several years now. He was referred to us by a friend and he helped us buy our first home (condo) in Garden Grove 4 years ago. Two years later he helped us sell our condo and purchase our single family home in Whittier.
As of a couple days ago, he helped us sell our home in Whittier. We continue to go back to Jeff because he has all the qualities we are looking for in a realtor. Above all he is honest and upfront about all aspects of the selling/buying process. Hes a straight
shooter and we trust him. He gives his honest opinion and I know he has our best interest at heart. He has been in this industry for many years and he knows his stuff. We got way more money out of our condo and our last home than we thought we could get and
we attribute it largely to tactics Jeff recommended we take to get the most out of our homes. We have come to know Jeff as one that is fair, has a good moral compass, is dependable, gives clear direction of how the buying/selling process works, is hard working,
and have come to value him as a friend. I would recommend (and have several times) Jeff to our friends and family because he is the best at what he does.
Jeff has sold three properties for my husband and me but none like our last. Jeff suggested an asking price higher than we thought we could get and we had offers even higher than that. Unfortunately, three days before escrow was to close, funding for the
buyer fell through because our HOA (it was a townhome) filed a law suit against the builder. Jeff contacted other lenders but no bank would fund. We considered renting the property since we had already purchased another home and were living in it but neither
of us wanted to be landlords. We finally decided to lower the price and list as cash only. The property sold within a couple of days and closed in a month. We actually raised the amount of the commission because Jeff had worked so hard for us. I would recommend
him to anyone. He is very knowledgeable and great at what he does. And yes, we got more for our two other properties than we asked
Jeff assisted us in both selling our house in Aliso Viejo and purchasing the next one--with the purchase being part of a complicated series of transactions with multiple interested parties. Jeff's guidance, deep market knowledge and no-nonsense approach
to home buying and selling was incredibly helpful for us in navigating the process on both sides and leading us to very successful outcomes--a great price on our sale and a successful, timely closing at a reduced price on the other end. We would happily use
Jeff's services again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a transparent and practical guide in a complicated market.
Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful in the process. His personal touch, responsiveness, and experience are superior to any agent I have ever worked with. Great job Jeff, thank you!
Jeff made buying my first home a easy process. Very professional and knowledgeable. Answers all calls/texts with a timely manner. Recommended for selling or buying your home
With the help of Jeff Petsche, we were able to quickly sell our home in Anaheim Hills in just 8 days, and purchase our dream home in Yorba Linda during the Spring of 2020. During this time, the impact of COVID-19 led to shelter in place orders and many
other unforeseen circumstances that would normally hinder someone's ability to buy and sell a home. But Jeff made sure that our experience was not only positive, but successful as we were able to sell our home for several thousand dollars over our asking price!
Jeff was always professional and personable, he was quick to respond, very knowledgeable, and kept all parties on track to meet our target dates for closing despite all of the obstacles surrounding COVID-19. Jeff earned the highest recommendation we can give,
and we will be referring him to all of our family and friends who are looking to buy and/or sell a home in the future
Jeff was very professional. The other realtors we worked with also commented on the ease they felt with communicating with Jeff, how thorough he was and how professional Jeff was.
Jeff is an exceptional realtor! Not only does he have a wealth of knowledge within the industry, he's super personable and a pleasure to work with. He's honest, proactive, reliable, and super responsive! We've loved working with him and appreciate his
help buying now two homes and selling one. The process has always been streamlined, straightforward, and a positive experience. A 5 star review - is well deserved and easy to give! Jeff, you're incredible. Thanks for being so great!
Over twenty years of all professionals I have ever worked with; Jeffs level of service is by far the best or the number one level of service I have ever received hiring anyone in my life.
We first met Jeff at his open house about a year before we purchased our home. He explained his Hero program and how it helps buyers with closing costs, which would be something that we could take advantage of. We kept his card and contacted him when we
were ready to buy. Jeff listened to our wants and needs and kept us in the city we wanted to be in. We felt very comfortable with Jeff and trusted his advice and expertise. When we found the house we wanted to put an offer on, Jeff presented a package to the
listing agent that put us above all other offers. The process went smooth, but we did hit a bump in the road that was out of Jeff's and our control. Jeff handled the situation with nothing but professionalism and honesty. He is a very good communicator and
always keeps in contact, letting you know what the next step is. I would highly recommend Jeff and The Petsche Group for any of your real estate needs!
eff is a true professional. He was completely open to me as a transfer from the midwest to learn about different communities, regardless of drive time. And while I happened to find my eventual house online, he was there in every way to seal the deal, lean
on the finance company that wasn't pulling their weight, and negotiate the right price, and conditions of timing. He arranged for my vintage car to be able to be stored at the house prior to my position which was a big concern. I would recommend Jeff to anyone,
plus a great guy!
I gladly Give Jeff 5 stars.! He came recommended by a close family friend. From our first meeting I felt very comfortable with Jeff and felt that we found a real estate agent we could trust. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable in real estate, and we felt very
confident in his abilities to get our house ready, on the market, and sold. Which is exactly what he did! Jeff always kept us up-to-date, informing us every step of the way with the progress of what was going on. He was also very prompt in answering our phone
calls no matter how small the question. I highly recommend him to all my friends and family, hes not only a great professional real estate agent hes also a very nice man. Sincerely, Janet C.
Jeff was easy to work with and he kept my informed every step of the way. We went from looking for a house and 45 days later moving in to the new house. He comes with high regards. Bill
Jeff and his team performed an excellent job in helping me acquire a property in Ladera Ranch. He stayed on top of detail in the transaction, and worked well to ensure everything was completed on time. I highly recommend Jeff and his team of real estate
professionals.
Jeff Petsche was the example every realtor should strive to be. He was professional, knowledgeable and ahead of schedule on everything from taking the photos to closing escrow. I highly recommend Jeff.
When it comes to reliability, knowledge, honesty, integrity and communication Jeff is on the money. He helped my ex husband and I sell our home super fast and efficiently. He scheduled his time around our schedules to meet with both of us as needed. He
walked through our home and give us excellent suggestions to sell our home quicker. He made sure to represent our best interests as sellers and took the time to know us on a deeper level than just seller/realitor. He truly cares about his clients and the well
being of their family. Not only that, he told us exactly how the process would play out before we even put it on the market and it went exactly as he purposed. He didn't make false statements or promises. As far as knowledge and understanding of the market
and selling a home I couldn't be more impressed. He is definitely the man you want on your side if you plan on buying or selling!
Jeff is an incredible realtor and all around person. He is honest, knowledgeable, confident, reliable, and an overall joy to work with. When my fianc and I have any questions he is very quick to respond and already has good insight and feedback. He definitely
has our best interest and we trust has our back as our realtor. I would recommend his services to my best friends and family.
As a First Time Buyer, I was a bit nervous about the idea of buying a home, but Jeff put me at ease right away. He made the process very easy and was always available to answer any questions my husband and I had. If I left him a message he got back to
me the same day. I was very impressed with his negotiation skills and how quickly we was able to get us into the home. If you want a realtor that truly knows what he is doing, and always keeps you informed of what is going on, then I recommend you call Jeff
today.
eff has been our go-to realtor for two sales and one purchase in Southern California. He does what he says he'll do when he says he'll do it. He makes the time to answer our calls of questions and requests. Jeff has a handle on home sales; he knows what
needs to be done. We never felt we waited on Jeff. He has great team coordination with escrow, appraisers, and loan leads. Not if, but when we sell or buy, Jeff is our guy.
I have been working with Jeff to buy a new home for me and my two kids. Jeff has been extremely helpful and responsive. He understands my needs, is knowledgeable about the area, and about the real estate process. He has gone above & beyond to help me in
this process. Although I don't qualify I love his association with the Heroes Home Advantage program. Jeff's character & integrity are beyond what I have ever experienced in this process and this is my 4th time buying a home.
I met Jeff at a random open house 8 years ago and I eventually chose him as my realtor for my first purchase. Given I was only 25 at the time, I appreciated Jeff's honesty and respect for my opinion throughout the process. He was very patient with me and
I never felt pressured to "make a decision" by him.<br/><br/>As a result of that experience, I have continued to keep in touch with Jeff and recommend him to anyone that asks me if I know a realtor. He is very knowledgeable about the industry, constantly keeps
up with the latest trends/changes, and works extremely hard to find the right home for his clients. I look forward to continue working with him.
Jeff helped us buy our first home in Corona, CA. We met Jeff by chance at an open house and as soon as we began talking to him, we could tell that he was the type of agent we wanted to work with. He was energetic, attentive, open-minded and always helpful.
Although we worked full-time, Jeff was always open to meeting with us after work hours so we could so potential homes. He showed us many homes in the area before we found the one that we were certain about. He walked us through the entire process and remained
an advocate for us from submitting the offer to closing of escrow. He continued to be helpful even after close of escrow. For example, realizing that we were not going to move in to the new house for almost a month and that we lived in a different city, he
graciously offered to drop by the house and turn on the sprinklers for us so the grass wouldn't die by the time we moved in. This just showed to us the type of person and agent he was - willing to help even after close of escrow. We would wholeheartedly recommend
Jeff for all your home buying or selling needs. Once you meet him, you'll see that he is great to work with.
We randomly met Jeff at an Open House he was doing, we talked for about half hour exchanged contact information. We told him what we were looking for and gave him a general area that we wanted to focus on. That same night he emailed us with a dozen listings
in the area. For the nest couple of weeks we looked at a handfull of homes and found a home that felt comfortable in putting an offer for. The whole negotiation process only took a couple of days and our offer was accepted. 30 days later we closed the deal
on the house and received the keys. The process was went smoothly and with only a few small hickups. Jeff had very insightful knowledge of the Corona. He was always very helpful and very prompt on all his responses. We will definitely be seeking his help in
the future and we also recommend him to all our friends and family that are looking to buy a home. Over all very satisfied with the whole process.
