Why we recommend Lauren Lumbattis for Chino

Chino is a two-speed market. Redfin's figures for the three months to September 2026 put the citywide median sale price at $749,643, but detached houses in ZIP 91708, mostly in The Preserve, sold for a median of $952,260, while condos in the same ZIP sold for $594,932. Buyers also weigh brand-new homes from six builders against resale houses in the older north side of the city. That calls for an agent who works the whole western Inland Empire, not just one tract.

Lauren Lumbattis has held a California real estate license since August 2006 and leads Lumbattis & Associates, a team inside FirstTeam Real Estate. Her FirstTeam profile lists closed sales in the cities that surround Chino: Chino Hills, Ontario, Eastvale, Jurupa Valley and Norco. Her team says it serves the Inland Empire, Orange County and San Diego County, which matters for Chino buyers who are coming from, or commuting to, Orange County.

One honest limit: the past sales shown on her public profile do not include an address inside Chino's city limits. We feature her for Chino on the strength of her twenty-year record in the surrounding cities, her verified license and her client reviews. Ask her for recent Chino comparables in your ZIP, as you would any agent.

How Lauren Lumbattis works with Chino buyers and sellers

Buying in Chino with Lauren Lumbattis

Several of her reviews come from first-time buyers, and one 2021 client describes weighing a new-build townhouse against a newer resale house before choosing the resale. That is the central choice in Chino, where Tri Pointe's townhomes at The Meadows start in the low $500,000s and resale detached houses in 91710 sold for a median of $811,795 in the three months to September 2026 (Redfin). Ask her to set the two side by side with HOA dues and special taxes included, and to register with any builder on your first visit.

Selling in Chino with Lauren Lumbattis

Chino had about 2.7 months of supply in the three months to September 2026, and new listings were down 21.8% on a year earlier (Redfin). Sellers in The Preserve compete with builder incentives, so ask her how she prices against the nearest active new-home neighborhood and how she markets to buyers coming from Orange County and Los Angeles County, where her other sales are.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Best Real Estate Agent in Chino, CA,
answered.

Who is the best realtor in Chino, CA?+

There is no official ranking, so any best list is an opinion. Our featured agent for Chino is Lauren Lumbattis of FirstTeam Real Estate, a licensed salesperson since 2006 (DRE 01746402) whose public sales record covers Chino Hills, Ontario and Eastvale. Compare her with at least two other local agents before you choose.

Is Lauren Lumbattis a licensed real estate agent?+

Yes. The California DRE lists Lauren Renee Lumbattis as a licensed salesperson, license 01746402, first issued August 2, 2006 and valid through August 1, 2030. Her responsible broker is First Team Real Estate - Orange County. The DRE record showed no disciplinary action when we checked in November 2026.

How do I choose a real estate agent in Chino?+

Check the license on the DRE lookup first. Then ask for recent sales in your ZIP, since 91708 and 91710 behave differently, and ask about experience with The Preserve's builders and HOAs. Read reviews on more than one site, ask who handles showings and paperwork, and get the fee in writing before you sign anything.

How much is a realtor commission in Chino after the 2024 NAR settlement?+

Commission is negotiable and not set by law. Since August 17, 2024, buyers sign a written agreement with their agent before touring homes, and it must state the agent's pay. Offers of buyer-agent pay can no longer appear on the MLS, though sellers may still agree to cover it. Our California real estate commission guide has the details.

Can a buyer's agent help me buy a new home at The Preserve in Chino?+

Usually, yes, but builders often require your agent to register you on your first visit to the sales office. The builder's on-site agent represents the builder, not you. Ask your own agent to compare the base price, upgrades, HOA dues and special taxes against nearby resale homes before you sign the purchase agreement.
