Why we recommend Jim and Vickie Bishop for Laguna Niguel
Laguna Niguel is a city of planned communities and homeowners associations, and prices swing widely between them. In the three months to September 2026, Redfin's figures for ZIP 92677 put the median detached house at $1,792,048 and the median condo at $724,979. An agent who has worked these streets for two decades knows which HOA has a special assessment coming, which tract backs onto a slope and which comparable sale is fair.
Jim and Vickie Bishop lead The Bishop Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, working from the brokerage's Laguna Niguel branch at 30221 Golden Lantern. RealTrends, which verifies production from transaction records, ranked the team eighth in Laguna Niguel by sales volume on 2025 data. They say they focus on Laguna Niguel, with luxury homes and staging as their specialties. That long local focus, a verified 2025 record and a clean license history are why they are our featured agents here. It is our recommendation, not a ranking of every agent in the city, so interview more than one agent before you sign. See how we choose featured agents.
About Jim and Vickie Bishop
Jim Bishop's California DRE license
The DRE public lookup lists James Harry Bishop Jr. as a licensed real estate salesperson, license 01352560, first issued on September 18, 2002 and valid to September 17, 2030, with no disciplinary action and no other public comments. His responsible broker is Pickford Real Estate Inc (license 01317331). A closed townhouse listing on Nueva Vista Drive in Laguna Niguel, shown on MLSListings, names Jim Bishop with the same license number.
Vickie Bishop's California DRE license
The DRE lists Vickie Lynn Bishop as a licensed real estate salesperson, license 01982437, first issued on July 7, 2015 and valid to July 6, 2027, also with no disciplinary action and no other public comments, under the same responsible broker.
The brokerage behind The Bishop Team
The DRE record for Pickford Real Estate Inc shows that it does business as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, and lists a branch at 30221 Golden Lantern, Suite B, Laguna Niguel. That matches the office address the team gives. Because both Bishops are salespersons, their transactions are supervised by that corporate broker.
Experience and record claimed by The Bishop Team
They report 24 years of experience, more than 428 career transactions and over $404 million in career sales, plus 11 transaction sides worth more than $20 million in the latest 12 months. It also lists 19 Chairman's Circle awards and more than 280 five-star reviews. We could not match the career totals or award count on an independent page, so treat them as the team's own figures and ask to see the closed-sales history behind them.
The Bishop Team's verified 2025 record and reviews
RealTrends lists the team's 2025 production as 13 transaction sides and $22.33 million in volume, an average price of about $1.72 million. That placed The Bishop Team eighth in Laguna Niguel and 1,302nd in California by volume. The average sits above Redfin's Laguna Niguel median of $1,370,847 for the three months to September 2026, which fits the team's stated focus on higher-priced homes.
Three Google reviews the team shared with us, quoted word for word:
- Tobi K., a title representative: "Jim and Vickie Bishop are fantastic to work with. As their title representative I truly appreciate their professionalism, communication and dedication to their clients."
- L Woolery, a seller who downsized: "Vickie saved us 1000’s of $’s by suggesting ways to stage the house with items that could be used after. Jim guided me thru the selling process and our house sold within a couple weeks."
- Joyce T., a seller and landlord: "They went above and beyond for us in both selling my in-laws' Laguna Niguel home and helping us find a renter for our Laguna Hills home while we are away for the year."
