When it was time to sell due to a job change, Diane referred me to Rita, and the experience was excellent. Rita was genuine, responsive, and on top of everything--she found a cash offer, and my condo closed in just 7 days. I'm very grateful to Rita and her team and look forward to working with her again to buy my next home.

She was patient and showed her value while continuously sending me properties. After visiting the first house and meeting with her in person, I knew I had the right agent. She was a great advocate for me as a buyer. She was patient, understood my wants and needs, and held my hand every step of the way to make sure all details were covered. I have recommended to everyone I know looking to buy or sell that they use Jessica. I couldn't have imagined a better process for buying my first home. If you don't go with Jessica you will be missing out on a great opportunity to work with someone amazing.

We feel so lucky to have worked with Samantha as our both buying and selling agent. Thanks to her…read moreexpertise, experience and dedication, we quickly sold our previous home and are now in the home of our dreams. The thought of simultaneously buying and selling can feel daunting, but she walked us through the whole process. I feel like I'd gained a friend on the "inside" who was working for me and truly looking out for my welfare. If you are in the market to buy or sell, I wholeheartedly recommend Samantha.

We first met Samantha when she showed us a house on the market back in the Fall of 2017. We liked…read moreher immediately. From that day forward, whenever we asked her to show us a house she instantly made it happen. Most importantly to us, she always followed up by obtaining and relaying the answers to every question we had on each property. In the spring of 2018, we thought we were finally ready to sell our beloved home and find a new home. She didn't just leave the search up to us. Everyday Samantha sent us listings of properties we might be interested in. She made herself immediately available to show us homes whenever we asked. She always accommodated our schedule. She never rushed us through a showing. And again...she followed through, obtaining all the information we needed on each property. When putting our house on the market, Samantha didn't make any excuses when we didn't like the first pictures taken. She brought in another photographer and got us the most gorgeous photos. She had our house on the market within a week. She and her always available and very knowledgeable assistant Sherri went through the contacts with us with a fine tooth comb. Samantha is exceedingly trustworthy. With kid gloves and endless patience, she and Sherri answered every question we had. In not the strongest sellers market, Samantha had us a full price offer within 3 weeks. Unfortunately, at that time we also had some medical concerns and it proved too much for us to handle both situations at the same time . With deep compassion, Samantha pulled us off the market and released us with kindness. So there was no doubt in our minds who we would call when we really were ready. In the late summer on 2020, Samantha agreed to put us back on the market at the highest possible asking price. She had us listed in less than a week. She refused to put a lockbox on our house and personally showed our home to everyone interested. At the same time, she took us down to the San Diego area every time we wanted to see a house we were interested in. When our house didn't sell immediately, Samantha remained focused on the uniqueness of the property and was determined to be patient and get us the highest price. In under two months she got us exactly what we wanted. She also helped with every difficult aspect of the even more unique property we made an offer on in SD. Samantha is not only well versed in everything real estate related, but she also has a background in mortgage loans and building construction. She has boundless energy. She never forgets anything. She gives you her undivided attention. Even when dealing with us, as very emotional sellers, and an extremely difficult selling agent in San Diego, she never got rattled. She personally troubled-shot every challenge. She often said to us; "I just want everyone to be happy." We knew that was her true motivation when we watched her personally go to great lengths to make sure the buyer of our home was also getting a house completely in order. Samantha didn't represent them and they didn't ask for any extras ... Samantha did everything she did for them out of the goodness of her heart. She loves people. She loves what she does. She's one in a million. We will forever be grateful to have found this wonderful lady who lovingly guided us through one of the most challenging transitions of our lives. No way could we have done it without her. Thank you Samantha. You are a diamond in the "rough" real estate industry!!

My wife and I were first home buyers and are proud members of the LGBTQ community. We had no idea of the process, paperwork or negotiations associated with purchasing a house. Janet was amazing with us. She was respectful of our choices, patient, spent time explaining each step, never got annoyed when we asked the same question twice, had an eye for detail, kept all parties on task, always had a smile and was a lot of fun. We closed escrow within 15 days and I honestly believe this was because of Janet's work ethic. She was always on top of things and would checkin daily with updates and support. Can't thank Janet and her team enough. An awesome realtor, wonderful person and great ally of the LGBTQ Community! Thank you!!!!

As first-time buyers, we felt completely overwhelmed before we even started. Julie Milbrodt was…read moreincredibly patient and extraordinarily responsive, and her experience was evident in every interaction--especially when speaking with the selling agent. We didn't have a large budget, weren't entirely sure what we wanted, and I wanted to see everything, which meant touring more than a few not-so-great properties. Julie gently guided us toward what truly mattered in a home, and because of her guidance, we found the perfect property. She kept reassuring me, "It will all work out," and she was absolutely right. Julie was professional from start to finish, and her experience gave her a real advantage when it came to negotiating and identifying potential issues. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to guide us through this process - Julie is simply the best!

I've not seen a more conscientious, hard-working real estate agent in all my years. Julie always had our best interest at heart and she helped us navigate all the complexities of buying a house in Southern California. Julie has much experience in the business and is highly professional in all her interactions. She always had our back during the entire process. She is warm and understanding, yet will be tough when needed. Sometimes it felt as if Julie knew what we wanted/needed more than we ourselves did. I've known Julie for many years since we both volunteered for a nonprofit organization and she is strong supporter in our community. We couldn't recommend her any higher!

She is truly spectacular to work with and I wouldn't trust anyone else with either the sale of my home or the purchase of a new one. Throughout the entire process, she demonstrated incredible patience, always taking the time to answer questions and explain options without ever making me feel rushed or pressured. At the same time, she is a shrewd and highly effective negotiator. She knew exactly when to push and when to hold firm, and her strategy made a real difference in both selling and buying. I always felt confident knowing she was advocating for my best interests. The combination of experience, calm guidance, deep market knowledge, and strong negotiation skills is rare. If you're looking for an agent who encompasses all these skills , look no further. Denise is professional, trustworthy, and genuinely exceptional at what she does.

Even though this realtor dominates Tanglewood North (which she doesn't live in anymore by the way),…read moreI will definitely never use her. 1.) Her door hangers litter the whole community. Any unscrupulous person walking by your home can tell if you haven't been home for a while because of her annoying fliers hanging from your front doorknob. 2.) She doesn't even seem to answer general inquiries on her site. I was looking for a lender back in 2016 and emailed both her and Aleta Esteibar (the realtor who ruled Tanglewood South). Aleta responded back immediately and I was connected with a great lender at Finance of America. Never heard back from Kathy... 3.) I went to one of her open houses once. I was the only non-white person there and of course, she greets everyone who walks in except me. Yes, I know people assume people who look like me don't speak English but really? Also, my lender was confident that her connections with Kathy would help get my offer accepted but of alas, she double-ended the deal.

Ultimately, the seller accepted our final offer, and I couldn't be happier. In addition to working closely with the seller's agent and me, Suzanne stayed in close contact with my mortgage broker to ensure the process was smooth.
