My mission is to support my clients in achieving their real estate goals. I accomplish this by staying on top of real estate trends, technology advancements and community happenings.

Whether I'm strategically analyzing the next steps for a client's real estate dream or helping with design advice, my objective is always to provide top-tier value for my clients.

Hi! I’m Jes and I live in the beautiful city of Huntington Beach. I'm originally from San Diego but moved my way up to Orange County and love it here!

In the past, I've always thrived in any work environment but somehow managed to find something I didn't enjoy about the job. Being in real estate, I can truly say I love every aspect of this career and it gives me so much excitement helping someone become a homeowner. I have a very strong work ethic and I am committed to making sure I do the absolute best I can in helping you with any real estate needs.

In my free time I love staying active, I'm a part of an amazing crossfit community! I'm also a huge bookworm so if I cancel plans, it's most likely to stay home and have a book in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.

Cassidy Lewis

Agent | DRE# 02160637

+1(949) 874-4159 cassidy@pinpointproperties.com

My name is Cassidy Lewis, an Orange County native with a Bachelor's degree from The University of Arizona.

My passion for real estate began when I purchased my first rental property. Since then, I have gained insight into every facet of real estate investing: single family, multi-family, luxury short term, and long term rentals. When an investment property is chosen with precision and accuracy, it can provide financial freedom and can be a wonderful addition to any investment portfolio.

Whether I’m finding the next luxury rental to grow an investment portfolio for a client, handing over the keys to a first time home buyer, representing a seller, or anything in between, I will work tirelessly to cater to the needs of each individual. I am dedicated to prioritizing my clients’ desires, styles, and budgets, to provide the home or sale of their dreams.

In my spare time, you can find me on the Balboa Peninsula walking my Golden Retriever “Lido” down the boardwalk or teaching pilates at a local studio.

Emily Emig

REALTOR® | DRE# 02154763

+1(949) 414-5162 emily@pinpointproperties.com

Hi there, my name is Emily Emig! I was born and raised in Northern California but shortly after moving to Southern California 8 years ago, I couldn't picture myself living anywhere else! My love for real estate developed early on when my mom and I would randomly stop by open houses we drove by just to "look." My love for real estate grew later on in life while working as a loan officer assistant, I went from helping clients obtain financing to now helping clients find their dream home. I'm passionate about helping clients find their perfect home and pride myself on the level of service that will be provided throughout and after the transaction. I love connecting on social media and share a majority of my life, style and husky on a day-to-day basis. I look forward to getting to know you and assisting with all your real estate needs.

Sarah Schultz

Broker Associate | DRE# 01925362

+1(949) 209-9004 sarah@pinpointproperties.com

Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’m a Realtor and the Operations Manager at Pinpoint Properties. I was raised in Huntington Beach and after attending college in San Luis Obispo, I settled back down in Huntington with my husband and our dog Hunter. I love all that Orange County has to offer and consider myself extremely lucky to drive down our beautiful coastline every day for a job I am passionate about.

My fascination for real estate originated from growing up in a household of real estate professionals; my dad is a local residential real estate appraiser and my mom worked as a loan officer. After receiving my degree in Hospitality Management and working in several luxury resorts, I decided to spend some free time assisting my dad with measuring homes. I enjoyed learning about properties, exploring different communities, and searching for comparables to determine a home’s value, but appraising lacked the human interaction and the customer-centered service that the hotel business provided. So, choosing to pursue a career in real estate sales and aligning with a brokerage that shared my philosophy of a concierge-style approach offered the best of both worlds.

In 2012, I joined Pinpoint Properties when the company was in its early stages and helped to develop systems and strategies that we still use today to cultivate a seamless buying or selling experience. While I enjoy connecting with clients, showing homes, and handing the keys over at the end of a transaction, my true “calling” has been in a management role, where I can share all of the skills I’ve learned to support each of our team members in maximizing their unique potential. There’s nothing I love more than a good brainstorm session with one of our agents, whether it be to discover a creative way to get a clients’ offer accepted, interpret aspects of the purchase contract, or overcome an unforeseen roadblock during an escrow.

I embrace hard work, problem-solving, and building relationships, and consider myself to be empathetic, patient, organized, and [very] detail-oriented. Outside of work, my favorite activities are volunteering, baking, travelling, binge-watching shows on Netflix, and going on adventures in our 4Runner.

REVIEWS

Katrina Smith, of Pinpoint properties, did an outstanding job for us in the sale of our home and the purchase of a new home in all aspects of a sell or a purchase. Four years ago, she took over the sale of our previous home; after having been on the market for over a year with another realtor, she sold this house in less than 2 months for more money than it was previously listed. Late last year, Katrina took on the sale of our current home, and the purchase of a new one. During the next 2 months, she sold our house for more than comp value before it was ever put on the market, and the new house was purchased for a bargain. Both house were put in escrow and closed during this time. Katrina’s leadership style was exemplary in accomplishing the work, everyone was satisfied and we are currently enjoying our new home.

Katrina and her team were awesome to work with. Her expertise in market analysis and marketing strategy was a huge help in selling my home in a softer sales market. She also has strong communication skills and timely responsiveness which was really helpful when navigating through the negotiation and closing process. I would highly recommend her for your buying or selling real estate needs!

We used this realtor at the advice of a friend and were SO glad we did! Her knowledge of the local market truly surpassed other realtors we interviewed, and she is obviously at the top of her game, exceptionally poised and just a real pleasure to do business with. Her negotiation skills were top notch, and she realllllly went the distance for us. We appreciated her guidance and expertise in what could have been a complicated transaction, and she never ceased to go above and beyond our very high expectations. We have since used her for two other real estate deals and she makes the process seamless!

Katrina is not only the best realtor I have worked with, but she has also surrounded herself with a great team that will not let you down. Each house sale is unique and has their complications. Katrina and her team made it happen with my house and navigated us through the various negotiations that had to go down. I trusted her guidance and relied upon her team for their sharp communication and punctual work ethic.

My experience with Katrina was short. See sold the home in two days. Never even made it to Broker's Preview or a chance for Zillow and/or MLS to take effect. On top of that, she got me more than my asking price; the home sold for 4.3 million. The previous broker had it for one year with no results.

Whether you’re looking for or selling your very first house, comfortably experienced, or an investor multiple times over, we want to make sure your search and sale run seamlessly.

The Pinpoint Properties team works collaboratively to ensure the story of your home is told every time, not as a statistic but as an important milestone in your life. We’re here to help you succeed.
