About Natalie Raney

We have known Lindsay Bibb and Natalie Raney for many years through meeting at open houses, their arranging of showings of potential properties to buy, and their impressive, thoughtful marketing pieces. When we decided to sell our Big Canyon home, they were the only team we considered. We were not disappointed. Starting with an expert analysis of the market, Lindsay and Natalie guided us to an asking price that generated multiple offers and a selling price above asking. As our lead contact, Lindsay listened to our needs and desires at each step of the process and in her calm, reassuring manner, had the perfect recommendation for every decision that...

We first worked with Lindsay back in 2016 when we bought our first home. She went above and beyond to help us close what ended up being a tricky deal. A few years (and kids) later we knew it was time to start looking for more space, so of course we reached out to Lindsay again. We may have been the pickiest clients ever seeing as we wanted to stay in our exact neighborhood and basically wanted a larger replica of our first home! She hung in there with us for years as we looked at countless houses, had several offers not get accepted due to crazy circumstances, until the perfect house finally came on the market this year. Once we made our decision, s...

Thank you so much for all your help in making this experience, which could have been so stressful, a very smooth transaction. At least it seemed that way to me due to your calm professional manner and organized method of handling all the various components it took to complete this deal. So again a very sincere thanks for a job well done.

Lindsay Bibb and Natalie Raney epitomize the meaning of the “dynamic duo”. They truly are the REAL DEAL! My family will be forever grateful to Natalie and Lindsay. They were kind, caring and not pushy when we needed it; yet strong and pragmatic when we were indecisive. They have balance in an industry where there is very little balance and where emotions can run high and get the best of people. Our mother’s home sold quickly. Albeit it was in a great neighborhood. It was in original condition (needed a total remodel). Natalie and Lindsay had to deal with 4 siblings on this deal. Not an easy feat! My siblings and I did everything Lindsay and Natali...

When it came time to rent out our Big Canyon home, we knew right away who we would choose. Having lived in Big Canyon for many years, we always knew Lindsay and Natalie were well regarded in the community and had a deep understanding of what it meant to live in Big Canyon. Now that we have had an opportunity to work with them, we cannot recommend them enough. Lindsay and Natalie, and the rest of their team, were always available and kept us up-to-date through every step of the process. In the end, we are very satisfied with the quality of Lindsay and Natalie's work and look forward to working with them in the future.

It was a true pleasure to work with Lindsay Bibb regarding the sale of our condominium located on the golf course in Big Canyon Villas. We decided that it was time to sell the property and no longer deal with tenants. In knowing what a wonderful reputation Lindsay has developed over the years within the Big Canyon Community itself we felt she was our obvious choice to assist us in the sale. We mutually agreed upon what the asking price should be and she preceded to put together an excellent marketing package and we received an offer within ten days and were able to close escrow within a total of six weeks of the date it was placed on the market. Lin...

I am a retired architect and would like to write this letter about Natalie Raney and the amazing and classy way that she conducts her professional duties and helps her clients. In the Spring of 2016, I hired Natalie as a realtor to help me with the sale of my home in Newport Coast, California. Throughout the months that followed, Natalie's professional integrity, intelligence, efficiency, gracefulness and helpfulness impressed me tremendously. Through ups and downs of the sale process, Natalie's optimism and intelligent approach to problem solving was a source of strength for me and helped me to travel the process smoothly. I can simply state tha...

Cannot recommend Lindsay and Natalie enough. Honest, frank, and uncommonly market savvy. If you want a team that puts their clients interest first, even if at their own expense, communicate well, and won’t waste your time with uninformed hyperbole as well as inappropriate upsells – Lindsay & Natalie are most certainly your choice. A complimentary balance of client care and willingness to go to the table kindly but firmly when and as needed to bring reasonable resolutions that benefit everyone involved, they and their supporting staff will provide the tangible value most promise and few deliver.

Lindsay represented me as a buyer of my first home and made what I thought to be a difficult and frustrating process quite the opposite: transparent and seamless. She is so knowledgeable and gets back to you on every question with a detailed answer. She was not only incredibly helpful, caring and excited for me, she made sure with every paper I signed, I understood any outcome or implication. Lindsay works so hard for her clients and it truly shows. She is an absolutely fantastic realtor and I will definitely be working with her again in the future.

When my wife and I started looking at houses in Newport Beach, we were referred to Lindsay by a good friend who spoke highly of her abilities. After meeting with her, we quickly realized she was an experienced, knowledgeable and friendly broker who we were glad to have on our side. She was extremely patient as we went to countless open houses in the search for our dream home. She provided expert knowledge of the various neighborhoods as well as current market pricing. Once we had an accepted offer on our house, she negotiated with the seller so that we had an extremely favorable closing, which was even more impressive considering we bought in a sell...

Our family has known Lindsay for many years. We began working with Lindsay to locate a property in 2015. Her work ethic and eye for location and value is exceptional and resulted in our first home purchase this past month. In the future, we would use Lindsay’s expertise again and not hesitate to recommend her to friend or family alike. If you are interested in buying a first home, or next home, I recommend looking no further than Lindsay Bibb. She is the best!

I cannot say enough great things about Lindsay Bibb. She has been my family’s realtor for years and found us several great properties. She knows the area better than anyone and can very easily identify what you are looking for and can easily suggest great neighborhoods that you hadn’t thought of. I had an idea of where I wanted to live, area wise, but Lindsay found the perfect home I was looking for without me knowing exactly what I was looking for. She is a great agent, who is professional, informative, knowledgeable and any other adjective you are looking for in a broker. Use Lindsay Bibb as your agent and you WILL find your dream house!

Thank you for all your expertise and all you have done to turn a very stressful situation for us into a positive one. You have to be both a realtor and psychologist. You are excellent at both.

Lindsay and I have known each other for over thirty years. She knows the Newport Beach market, and I couldn't trust anyone more for my private residence here. Lindsay has helped me find 2 fantastic homes in Newport. She understands people and how to get them what they really want. Lindsay is disciplined, professional, and accessible. I highly recommend Lindsay Bibb.

We want to thank you for the stellar job you did in leasing our former home in Newport Beach. All facets of the process, from preparing the house for presentation, marketing, showings, vetting prospects, negotiating lease terms and consummating the lease were done professionally, expeditiously and courteously. It is no wonder that you are well regarded and successful in your chosen career. Feel free to use us as a referral anytime. Kudos to you and your staff and keep up the good work.

We have had the pleasure of knowing the Bibb family socially and professionally over the last 30 years. They are a wonderful family and very respected in the community. Recently, we had the good fortune to work closely with Lindsay Bibb, as she represented us in a home purchase. Lindsay was extremely professional and very attentive to the details and documentation, but then of course, she has learned from the best, Danny! Anyone working with Danny or Lindsay will definitely be in good hands, and can rest assured that they are working with the best in the industry.

Lindsay was our guiding light! We were living in Emerald Bay and enjoying the Big Canyon Country Club frequently when it finally dawned on us that we should stop listening to our friends rave about the neighborhood and convenient lifestyle and finally join them. After knowing Lindsay's family for years, we asked her to help us find our new home. We knew nothing about prices or values in Big Canyon but after a few short minutes with her extraordinary knowledge, we felt like experts. She truly listened to our needs and found us the perfect house. Lindsay held our hand the entire time and made what can be a stressful time, very simple and easy. Her neg...

I cannot overstate how important Lindsay & Danny Bibb have been to our family by serving 3 generations’ real estate needs the past 27 years. In every transaction, (our home in Big Canyon, a beach house in Laguna, a home for our parents, our son’s first house) , the Bibbs ALWAYS put our interest above their own. Extremely knowledgeable, widely respected & VERY nice people.

Lindsay represented us as buyers in Big Canyon two years ago. She did an excellent job in executing the purchase and keeping us up to date with all the paperwork. She handled the entire process seamlessly and professionally. She recently represented us in the sale of our home in Laguna Beach. Again, everything was handled without a hitch. She is extremely professional and will do her very best to consummate a deal with the highest integrity, as has been the history of the Bibb family for over 30 years.

Lindsay Bibb represented us as both a buyer and as a seller in the past year. In both cases, she was a dual agent, but was always fair and equitable and always professional to both parties. She made selling our house easy, handling termite inspections, home inspections, etc. We don't plan to move again but if we did, Lindsay would be our first call!

Natalie has been able to help expertly guide us through five real estate transactions this year and we are absolutely delighted with the results she has produced."

I would recommend Lindsay Bibb to my friends, family or anyone who is looking for a real estate agent to handle their buying or selling needs. Lindsay has represented my husband and me on the sale of our home and the subsequent purchase of our next home. Neither side of the transaction was easy. Lindsay remained calm, in control and focused on representing us and attaining our goals throughout both transactions. Lindsay is a perfectionist with processing the details of both the buyers and seller’s contract agreements. She is equally efficient at staying on top of the escrow process and making sure all documents are signed and delivered on time by ...

We knew we wanted to buy an investment property but we didn't know where. We gave Lindsay a price range and she took care of the rest. She showed us properties in Big Canyon, CdM, Newport Coast, Eastbluff, the Port streets, the Yacht streets, and some streets we didn't even know were streets. Amazingly, she knew the in's and out's of every neighborhood, what the rental market was like, and which properties were likely to yield the best return on our investment short term and long term. Thanks to her scrupulous efforts, we found a great property in One Ford Road complete with a tenant already in place. The key to real estate isn't location, location,...

Lindsay Bibb has represented our family for two very important real estate transactions. The first was in 2013 when we decided to sell our Big Canyon custom built home of fourteen years and move to Maui. Lindsay sold the home within one week for approximately 98% of our asking price and closed escrow within 30 days. The second was our desire to return to Newport Beach in 2015. At that time, available homes for sale were few that met our needs, but Lindsay stayed very close to the new listings and found a great home for us to purchase. Complementing her ability to sell client homes or find new ones to buy, she is exceptional at ensuring all the docu...

After the passing of our parents, my family and I spoke with several brokers regarding the listing of our family home. Without a doubt, Lindsay was the most sincere of people we met. I found her to be honest and direct; characteristics that were extremely important to us. We chose Lindsay to list the home and she was nothing but professional throughout the process. She ran beautiful ads in all of the appropriate magazines, newspapers and online publications, held several open houses and kept us informed at all times. Lindsay provided us with ad copies, updates on interested buyers' input, and handled the sale, escrow and closing with the same dedic...

We just closed escrow on a house in Big Canyon and cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Lindsay Bibb. We had been looking for the perfect lot for several years and Lindsay has always been so patient, professional and fun to work with. She has so much knowledge and expertise in her field as well as the Big Canyon community. We also used Lindsay to secure in renters in our home until we are ready to move in. She had our best interest in mind the whole time to make sure that we had reliable and amicable renters. It has been a true privilege to work with Lindsay!

Having been a Commercial Real Estate Broker for many years in my previous career, I know the nuances between good and excellent representation. I can clearly state that Natalie’s professionalism, understanding of the market, negotiating skills, and positive “get the job done” attitude were sincerely appreciated and respected. Natalie exceeded excellence in every aspect of the transaction.

Lindsay Bibb was our first and only choice to provide the professional services and in-depth real estate knowledge to sell our home in Big Canyon. From start to finish Lindsay’s services were stellar. In addition to promptly answering numerous questions and perspectives during the escrow process, Lindsay did a magnificent job working with the buyer and their realtor. We realized how important Lindsay’s liaison efforts meant towards establishing a cordial and on time closing. Lindsay was accountable and amenable to meet at any time and directed us to a very professional escrow company and numerous other contracted services within the scope of the sa...

Lindsay Bibb is wonderful! She was great every step of the way in the process of selling our Bayshores home and buying in Big Canyon. Not only is she very knowledgeable and professional, she is also so warm and caring. Lindsay handled any obstacles and challenges that arose efficiently and cheerfully, which helped to make the process of buying and selling a pleasure instead of a chore. We were constantly amazed and comforted by her expertise and her uplifting, delightful personality. We always felt like we were Lindsay's top priority. We are happy to recommend Lindsay for any and all real estate needs!

Having my Brokers' license for almost 40 yrs, I knew, when I decided to start house hunting in Newport Coast, I was going to be hard pressed to find a top notch Realtor who not only lived up to my extremely high standards, but had the personality that we wish all Realtors had.... ready to do whatever it takes to find the deal that meets our wish list and make it happen without being "pushy". Natalie not only listened to what I wanted, but when the perfect home became available, she tackled all of the difficult "stuff" most Buyers (including myself) dread dealing with and delivered it hassle free with Champagne on the table! She was SO refreshing! I ...

If you want to sell your home, hire a professional. That’s why I hired Lindsay Bibb. When my mother recently passed away, I was responsible as the trustee of the estate to sell my parents home in Irvine Terrace. With the endless list of details needed to be dealt with in settling the estate; memorial service, sibling beneficiaries, disbursing all of the personal effects, and selling the home I grew up in over 50 years ago, I looked to a true professional that could take the selling burden off my hands. That’s why I hired Lindsay. Lindsay not only sold the house in five days at my exact asking price but throughout the three week escrow handled ever...

My husband and I had decided to sell our home of 35 years, the multi-level, multiple-roomed home that accommodated our family of four growing children so well. Having all children launched with homes and families of their own, we decided to purchase a new single level home with fewer rooms. Living in Newport Beach for 37 years, we knew that Bibb was the name for top real estate expertise. We had been friends with Danny over the years, and turned now to his daughter, Lindsay. We needed a broker to both sell our home and assist us in purchasing a new one. By reputation, we knew that Lindsay was the expert in Big Canyon. But we were not prepared for he...

Truly a realtor extraordinaire! Lindsay spent 2 years looking & then finding the house of our dreams. She employed her extraordinary skills and knowledge of the real estate market to facilitate the purchase & eventual close. Her patience & people skills surmounted all challenges presented. We are so very grateful. Whether you are selling your home and / or purchasing a home Lindsay Bibb will be there 24/7 to answer all your questions and to represent your interests. We all strive for perfection. Lindsay Bibb epitomizes perfection in the real estate market.

Natalie is a dream to work with in navigating the fast-paced Newport Beach real estate market. I genuinely cannot imagine working with a more competent, pleasant professional. We will continue to be loyal clients for years to come.

It is with great pleasure that we write this letter of recommendation for Lindsay Bibb and the professional manner in which she handled the purchase of our new home and the selling of our old residence . From the start Lindsay was always there to help with anything and everything. Every detail was on schedule and every obstacle was met with great enthusiasm and was dealt with in a timely and professional manner. I would give Lindsay our highest recommendation and encourage anyone and everyone to hire her for their respective real estate requirements.

Natalie and Lindsay were true professionals starting with their thorough market analysis. Upon listing my home, they took the time to obtain the specific information for all of the features that the home offered. Using this information as well as obtaining the services of a professional photographer allowed them to prepare a good visual with numerous details for potential buyers to consider. Their marketing and brochures were "over the top". I would definitely use them again and also refer them to others.

Natalie and Lindsay were always extremely professional. They always were on time and delivered what they said. They handled all the logistics, including scheduling any repair people needed, which made the transaction smooth and without stress. I would highly recommend their services.

I am delighted to share my experience working with Natalie and Lindsay, whom represented me in the sale of my Big Canyon home. Their stellar reputation as “the” brokers in BC preceded my initial meeting with them – and it was immediately clear to me why. Attentive, professional, knowledgeable and engaged are just a few of the adjectives I would use to describe this Team. They recognized the value in my custom home and were not hesitant to think outside the box to realize a sales price commiserate with its quality. Once hired, they immediately got to work with staging, glossy brochures, high-end advertising, and even a sunset cocktail party to showca...

It has been a pleasure to work with Natalie Raney, Lindsay Bibb and Villa Real Estate on the sale of our Big Canyon home. Natalie and Lindsay’s expert guidance and diligent work made the transaction work seamlessly. My wife and I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Natalie and Lindsay’s services and expertise for the sale or procurement of your home. We look forward to working with Natalie and Lindsay again in the future.

THE BEST...An extraordinary combination of professional experience, business acumen, and industry relationships, Lindsay and Natalie get the job done. Highest recommendation.

We were very blessed to have Natalie and Lindsay as our real estate brokers. The way I would describe Natalie and Lindsay, is that they are people of integrity, professional, genuine, and they had our best interest at heart. I trust them, and I value their honest advice. I can't thank them enough for all their wisdom and hard work. Through all their persistence, they found a buyer, they negotiated for us, and now the house is closing! What a blessing! Thank you Natalie and Lindsay!

My husband and I were considering buying a lot and building a new house and were curious as to our home’s marketability. We met with Lindsay and Natalie, and they offered excellent counsel. Concerned about the time imposition of showing our home and not wanting to have an open house on the week-ends, we agreed to a pocket listing for two prospects. They arranged to have the showings back-to-back on the same day, and the second party decided to buy. It worked out well, as the new owners could not live here for two years. It became an ideal situation: while building, we stay and lease. Sounds easy; but there were several external hindrances, and the t...

We are so grateful for our new family home and for Lindsay Bibb and Natalie Raney for making it possible. Lindsay and Natalie are both professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of their work. They provided the best real estate services in bringing together a deal for the purchase of our new home and selling our previous home in just two days, representing both sides of each transaction. We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome and look forward to many years to come in our new home!

Natalie Raney and Lindsay Bibb are the best of the best! They know their market better than anyone else, are highly competent, attentive to detail and work very hard to bring buyers and sellers together. They did a superior job for us when we wanted to sell our house and we highly recommend them to any future clients. They have earned a five-star rating with us. No one does it better!

I am delighted to provide a strong recommendation for Lindsay Bibb and Natalie Raney. My house had been on the market for two years with no offers when I decided to list it with this dynamic duo. I found that no one knew how to speak to the benefits of living in Big Canyon like Lindsay and Natalie. They were creative in how they relaunched my property to the market, and leveraged their extensive personal network to find the ideal buyer within a short few months. I felt confident that they were able to communicate to prospective buyers all of the wonderful attributes of my home that originally drew me to buy it. After receiving no offers over the pas...

Lindsay Bibb was an outstanding sales agent who guided us in all aspects of selling our home. She was professional, caring and proficient during all stages of our transaction. We found her market knowledge invaluable. We can recommend her without reservation.

I had listed a high-end house in Big Canyon that remained unsold after being listed for two years with another broker. I switched to Lindsay Bibb & Natalie Raney in the Summer of 2019 to try another approach. We took the house off the market, staged the house, and changed the price (to where it should have been listed before). We had an offer within 1 week of going on the market and sold the house at almost the asking price. I was out of town which could have made the process difficult. However, this duo oversaw and coordinated everything from an estate sale of many items that needed to go, to finding and facilitating the stager, to coordinating the...

Lindsay and Natalie are THE dream team! They are exceptionally knowledgeable about the real estate market, the business transactions involved and are very willing to help in any way, always with a smile. They were exceedingly patient with us as we made plans to downsize and we always felt they had our best interests at heart. Without a moment’s hesitation, we would highly recommend them.

Lindsay, Natalie, and Brad are the A-Team! I knew from their reputation that I wanted them to represent me, but they more than exceeded expectations. I was out of town and relied completely on their advice about listing and staging. Their personal attention gave me complete confidence that my Big Canyon home was in good hands. And it sold in days!! When it was time to write my testimonial, I read through the others and found that we all sing the same praises for this exceptional team. Their knowledge of the buying/selling market, expertise in handling the nuances of the sale, and attentive communication and commitment all serve their clients in a ...

Our mother had passed away recently which necessitated the need to sell her home in Big Canyon. We sat down with Lindsay Bibb and Natalie Raney and found them to be extremely professional and very strategic in their approach to the market. We chose them on the spot knowing they also had terrific success selling properties in Big Canyon. This proved to be a great decision since a buyer was found within the first week and all our expectations were fulfilled. They have made the closing process as easy as possible. It has been a pleasure to work with Lindsay and Natalie. We would highly recommend them for any of your residential real estate needs.
