I've been toying with the idea to buy an investment property in the San Diego area over the next…read more1-2 years (assuming rates go down to affordable levels). While I'm originally from San Diego, I'm unfamiliar with the real estate market other than looking at properties on Zillow. While talking to a childhood friend, she recommended her realtor Erin and gave me her number. It felt too intrusive to call her personal cellphone so I decided to go to her website to learn more about her and ultimately decided to call the general number. Well, guess who answered?! lol Erin. I had to mute the phone shortly after she answered because I was awkwardly giggling to myself like a crazy person. I guess I just figured someone from her team would answer so it's funny I ended up talking to her anyway. We had a nice conversation. While I had many questions, she patiently answered them all. She offered locations to consider in my price range, townhomes and single family homes and places that don't charge an HOA. I thought HOA's were only on condo's, derp. Erin demonstrated to me that she's more interested in the relationship than the transaction and I respect that. We went ahead and scheduled an appointment at her office next week so she can help me with planning.

Selling and buying a home can be very overwhelming, but having to right Realtor can make all the…read moredifference and that is exactly what I experienced with Erin Wade. It was time for my mom to finally downsize to a home which would be more manageable; square footage to yard maintenance; for someone in their 80's. Therefore, I searched Yelp and after viewing the realtors on Yelp, Erin Wade stood out even before I read her reviews. I called Erin and set up a meet and greet with my mom and husband to discuss options for selling and buying a home in the area. From starting to finish, Erin was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, stress-free and successful for my mom who has never had to deal with selling and buying a home for over 30+ years. Erin is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, communication was always clear and timely, and she responded to all texts and/or emails in a timely matter even while out of town for family event. If it just so happened Erin was not available, she assigned someone from her team to cover in her absence. Erin made sure we were kept in the loop on any information about the property my mom was selling and the one she was purchasing. Erin really catered to my mom's needs and to my husband and my expectations during the process. Overall, Erin made us feel we were the only customer even though we know that is not true. We; my mom, husband and I, are grateful to have found Erin Wade and her team to help my mom sell her home and find her forever home. If you are looking for a great, reliable, friendly and knowledgeable Realtor. Erin Wade is that Realtor. I will definitely call Erin Wade when I am in the market to sell my home.

Serri was an absolutely exceptional real estate agent, and we can't recommend her and her partner…read moreGeorge highly enough. We hired Serri to sell our five-acre property with an exceptional panoramic view, our beloved home, and from the very first walkthrough she was extremely professional and thorough. She inspected every bit of the home and grounds and immediately knew how to position it to meet our specific goal: a quick sale, at a strong price, with no lingering on the market and no price reductions. A previous agent had pitched our home as a retirement property, which never sat right with us. Serri saw it exactly as we did, as a family home, and priced and marketed it accordingly. She brought in her own staging team, photographer, and videographer (including drone footage), and recommended a handful of relatively small, inexpensive updates, including a fresh paint job. The return on those modest changes was remarkable. They made a huge difference in how the home showed and clearly helped drive up buyer interest and the final sale price. Serri and George held a single open house that brought in over 100 visitors, and within 48 hours we had two offers above our asking price, from a family with young children and another who was ready to start one. Both could clearly picture themselves living there. Serri and George managed every step of the process with great care and skill. We were also in the middle of an international move at the time, which made everything more stressful, and Serri and George took every worry off our plate. Whether you're buying, selling, or just need solid advice, Serri and George are fantastic, and we recommend them without hesitation.

We were California natives for over 50 years and were in our CA home for over 20 years. The home required some minor repairs and updating. On top of everything else we were feeling overwhelmed! Thank god, Serri and George were extremely versed (had the contacts) to get the work done in a timely manner. Once the work was completed they staged the home and had some of the best photography performed that I have ever seen. It was seriously HIGH quality work! I have no doubt that this added value and brought more traffic to our home. Once the home was sold it was a breeze! Serri, George and the Team do a great job and I wouldn't hesitate using them again if we were to ever move back to San Diego.

Terrible. I reached out to see the property in wildomar on chiwi and they refused to show it…read morebecause they're in San Diego and it was too far of a drive. Why are you listing a property in wildomar if you can't show it? I don't have a realtor so I'm only working with the listing agents and have toured probably a dozen homes. No other listing agent has had a problem showing me the home THEY ARE LISTING. I was baffled. Plus if I would've made an offer on the home, they would've double ended the commission. I feel sorry for the home owners of that property. I hope they find someone else to sell their property.. who actually shows prospective buyers! I am now in escrow on another house. Could've been the one in wildomar but we'll never know now

As a military family coordinating return from deployment overseas, as well as a move across the…read morecountry upon return, we were unable to tour houses in person and yet needed a place to land before starting the next tour in Southern California. Despite this, Robyn Goodkind (virtually) took us through, in immaculate detail, each of the homes that we were interested, as well as proposed lovely options tailored to our family's budget, wants, and needs. Each house she toured with us she set out pros and cons of cost-to-value, location, and any architectural nuances. She was more than open to discussion and feedback given some of the unorthodox interests and pets we have. She helped us pursue some houses that she advised caution against, and when it didn't work out, where "I told you so" would have been apropos, she was ever graceful and helped us to pivot and rebound quickly! Ultimately, the house that she recommended highest was the one we decided upon; however, once the paperwork was signed (remotely), when most folks cut ties and run, she was just getting started. She went through great lengths after closing to ensure that the house was move-in-ready. Now, having unpacked and settled for a short while, we are ready to take on our next chapter, and we owe it, sincerely, to Robyn. Thank you Robyn!! ( o o )

Selling, or buying, a home is an emotional experience and I felt Robyn was very aware of this part of it as well, but kept us moving to get through it. She's very smart, I had confidence in her, and she's also very personable, I felt comfortable in reaching out to her with any concerns or questions that came up. Trust is huge in any relationship, dealing with transactions of money and trust...well Robyn is very honest and transparent, I have complete trust in her. Robyn just has a great combination of experience, knowledge, the law, the money, plus very personable and kind.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Tim two times prior and had such fantastic experiences, there was no one else we would call when work would have us sell our CA home. On the day that was scheduled to meet with Tim, my husband unexpectedly passed away. I still had to move as it was my career we were moving for. Tim navigated this transaction as the consummate professional he always is, but with many more layers. One can imagine the emotions of a widow suddenly doing this alone, but I was never alone. I have no idea how Tim navigated this transaction to a seamless close, but he did like always. Tim was not just an exceptional realtor-he was a trusted advisor, always keeping my best interest as core, friend with a shoulder to cry on and ever-willing ear to listen, and industry expert who cares about his clients like no one else, helping me manage through what seemed to be the impossible. Funny thing is Tim cares about all his clients to this level. I could not have done this with anyone else and I can assure you there was no one else but Tim that could have closed this at all, not to mention doing it perfectly. I am forever grateful that we had worked with Tim two times before and had bult a trust and a friendship because of those experiences. Thank you for having our six and continuing with the mission admirably!
