But thanks to my agent Kyle Hansen, I made it to the summit (aka, homeownership!) without losing my sanity. From the get-go, Kyle was a rockstar. He patiently explained every step, answered my endless questions (no matter how silly), and never pressured me to settle. He knew exactly what I was looking for and helped me find a place that felt like "me" the moment I walked in. Thank you Kyle and to the team at Shafran Realty Group!

Holly was a phenomenal realtor who provided excellent guidance and fought for us every step of the…read moreway. We are moving back to the North County area from the East Coast and had a very limited window to see houses in person. Ahead of our visit, Holly did a great job listening to what we wanted, providing options for us to review, and gathering feedback to distill the market down to houses that fit all of our parameters. During our house hunting trip, Holly tirelessly showed us house after house, including several day-of additions, to ensure that we had a solid understanding of the market. During this time, Holly did a great job of sticking to our original vision while adapting to our feedback as we started to better understand the market. Through this process, we felt we able to make an informed decision despite only having a few days in the area. On the last day, we found a home that was the right combination of all the things we wanted and needed for this next chapter of our lives. With a clear first choice, Holly fought hard to ensure that we were able to secure a winning offer. With her help and guidance we got the offer accepted just as we were getting ready to leave California at the end of our house-hunting trip! Getting that offer accepted was a huge victory, but Holly's effort and value did not stop there. Through every step of the the escrow process, Holly continued to advise us and fight for the best deal. This effort saved us a lot of money and made us feel confident that we truly walked away with the best price the market would allow. Even after closing Holly has continued to be a vital asset as we transition back to California. By conducting walk throughs and working with the selling agent to ensure that the property is ready for move in, Holly has once again shown that she is committed to ensuring that our best interests are represented through every aspect of the real estate buying experience. In addition to all of these wonderful qualities, working with Holly was fun! We had a great time getting to know her and she turned what could have been an absolute grind into an enjoyable and educational experience. She has our absolute highest recommendation!

Definitely recommend him for those who are looking for a home in San Diego county.

The realtor who sold our home was a Remax realtor who told us she always referred clients relocating to So Cal to Aja, even though she isn't a Remax realtor. She said she was the best and we would be in good hands. Aja did not disappoint! She is on it. Her communication with us was great. Especially since we were still living up north. She would FaceTime listed homes so we didn't have to rely on pictures. She would relay her impressions on neighborhoods and home conditions, always in our best interests. Her skill in providing strong purchase offers helped us in purchasing our home in a timely manner so we didn't have to rent or place belongings in storage. Our goals became Aja's goals. From start to finish stress was always relieved with a simple call to Aja. We feel totally "blessed" to have her come into our lives and guide us through our house hunt

The Best Real Estate Team in San Diego!…read more If you're looking for the best real estate team in San Diego, I cannot recommend Tyson Lund and his entire team highly enough. In just a week on market we got multiple full price and over asking offers and ended up with an over ask, all cash, 10 day close. From start to finish, their attention to detail, communication, and positive attitude were truly exceptional. Tyson is incredibly resilient, when something needs to get done, he doesn't give up. He stays on it, finds solutions, and keeps communicating every step of the way. What made this experience especially amazing was the entire team. Katie and Trisha added so much value throughout the process. They were incredibly responsive, organized, attentive, and proactive, and they made sure no detail was missed. They truly went above and beyond and made the entire process feel seamless. And Michael, their transaction coordinator, was absolutely incredible. He went over the top helping us navigate all of the paperwork and details needed to get an all-cash, over-asking offer closed in just 10 days, and done flawlessly. His attention to detail and willingness to jump in and help made a huge difference. I'm someone who usually feels like I have to hand-hold everything in life... follow up, check details, make sure things are moving, and stay on top of everyone. With Tyson, Katie, Trisha, and Michael, I could actually let go. They showed up and were over-the-top on it. I never felt like I had to chase anyone down or wonder what was happening. Selling a home can be incredibly stressful, especially when you're trying to move quickly, but this team was positive, professional, and completely on top of everything. They communicated, anticipated needs, solved problems, and kept the entire transaction moving forward. Tyson, Katie, Trisha, and Michael are the kind of team you want in your corner. They are hardworking, resilient, detail-oriented, communicative, and genuinely committed to getting the job done right. I would recommend this team to anyone buying or selling in San Diego. They truly went above and beyond, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Their answer is that your application can be used for other properties they manage. This is illegal and I have reported them to DRE.

She was responsive and replying to me. She had a limited amount of time to show the property. It was all last minute so I wasn't able to go that same day (I live about 30-35 min away). I called her later that same afternoon to get more information on the unit. She was SO rude! She first asked my desired move in date, which was about a month out, and she said that wouldn't work. I asked her if somebody could show us the property because maybe we'd move in sooner if we fell in love with it, and she said "she'd try" in a real snarky tone. She lives in La Jolla so it was too far for her to drive to during the week. I asked her if we could come the following weekend and she said, "if it's still available." Then she asked where my boyfriend and I live, and made a rude noise after I told her. I told her I worked in Escondido and she said "well carlsbad is too far then." Uhm thanks for your input Eileen, but 1. I didn't ask you, and 2. It adds 10 min to my commute. Lost of interest right away. She said she'd have someone from her team "maybe" contact me to show me the unit. Well guess what, 2 weeks later and it's STILL on the market. Your loss, Eileen! You are a terrible agent.

I was supposed to look at a home they had up for rent. Eilene was super rude on the phone. I then had to cancel due to a work meeting.

She was already going there! I replied letting her know I had an emergency. She continued to send me emails about what a great "million dollar" real estate agent she was, how I must clearly not be "successful", and took no responsibility for her actions. I'm pasting copies of the emails - they speak for themselves. I contacted her manager to get the old lady to stop, but Loree appears to be no better. Too bad. Classless.
