I have known Chuck Crist for over 30 years and when my wife, Elizabeth, and I began the daunting challenge of preparing and then selling our long time home, Chuck was the first person we thought of to represent us. We chose Chuck as our Realtor without hesitation because we know we can trust him. We also knew that he would provide us with sound advice on preparing, marketing and then negotiating to get the best price on our home and he did. At first, we were reluctant to put any money into our home and were resigned to taking the best offer we could get. Then Chuck explained that if we would be willing to spend a reasonable amount of money on making the home look it's best to create the ideal first impression without breaking the bank, we could get much more. With that, Chuck recommended a contractor to paint the exterior home and kitchen cabinets as well as complete some lite landscaping in the yard. To our surprise, all of the work was completed in less than 2 weeks and Chuck's concierge program advanced us the funds to complete the improvements, which we reimbursed after we closed escrow. By following Chuck's recommendations, and using his network of professional contractors, we made three dollars for every dollar we spent and the best part is that we ultimately sold our home at full list price in 30 days. As if that wasn't enough, Chuck was simultaneously helping Elizabeth and I buy a new turnkey home at a great price, collaborate with his lender and facilitate the new home and roof inspections to ensure that we were going to have a sound home to live in for many years to come. We couldn't be happier with our new home and the fact that we were able to get a historically low interest rate, combined with a home and roof warranty, means that Chuck and his network of service providers and staff exceeded our expectations, which was quite the accomplishment. I'll make it easy, we couldn't recommend a realtor to anyone more highly than Chuck Crist. We were in good hands every step of the way, Chuck was in constant contact, updating us on the process daily and in the end we have nothing but great things to say about working with Chuck and his team of professionals! read more

When it became apparent that it was necessary to sell my mother's mobile home and move her into an assisted living facility I was in need of a good realtor that would help me because I have had no experience in buying or selling real estate. A mutual friend recommended Chuck Crist and called him to tell him I was interested. He was actually in Hawaii at the time but took time to call me and start the process from there. Chuck Crist is extremely knowledgeable and even though he prefers to sell homes over mobile homes he agreed sell our property. Throughout the process he kept us up to date and always explained what would be happening next and always gave us plenty of time and explanation of deadlines. The mobile home was in need of repairs and he gave us recommendations of people who could help and at a cost we could afford. There were also multiple family members that Chuck Crist had to deal with throughout the time he was working for us and he was extremely professional during this difficult process. We had several offers the first day it was on the market and a firm buyer within three days at over the asking price. That was a direct result of Chuck Crist's tireless work on our behalf. Chuck Crist made what seemed an impossible task easy for us and gave us what we needed from the sale to finance my mother's relocation to an assisted living facility. My thanks are not enough for all that Chuck has done for our family. Barbara B. read more

My wife and I were very well represented by Chuck Crist in the purchase of our newest property. We contacted Chuck on one of his listings and from the very beginning, he treated us with the utmost respect and genuine kindness. He is an incredible human being in every way possible. You simply cannot ruffle his feathers (we tried once)! He's calm and collected at all times, and without exception, Chuck went out of his way to take our calls, contact us with updates and provided us with any additional information that he thought may help us to arrive at a purchase determination. He never once pushed the sale, just guided us along with enough information to allow us the confidence to make a well informed decision. He's a sincere and caring individual who proved to be extremely generous with his time and expertise. We simply can't say enough about how pleased we are in selecting Chuck as our agent. His exemplary customer service combined with honesty, integrity, decorum and professionalism set Chuck vastly apart from any other realtor that we've ever known. We successfully closed escrow in 15 days which speaks volumes about Chuck's stellar performance and dedication to excellence. We would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a trustworthy, consummate professional for their real estate needs. read more

We decided to have our vacant land listed with Chuck Crist after reading some reviews and our first meeting with Chuck. As soon as we met Chuck we felt very comfortable that he was the right agent for us. After completing the sale of the land we both knew that we went with the right realtor. Chuck is a true professional, always returned our inquiries (texts, phone calls or e-mails) very promptly and followed up with everything. In fact we felt like the entire transaction was on auto pilot from our point of view because Chuck took care of everything. That is exactly what we were looking for in selling our property because we don't even live in the same county. Chuck is the best realtor we have ever worked with. Because we just owned a small parcel of land Chuck's commission was so little that I don't think he even made minimum wage on our transaction. Even then Chuck put as much work into our transaction as any other transaction with much higher sale price. We never felt like he was putting less effort into our listing because of the small commission. So if Chuck is your realtor he will definitely represent you in the best way possible. A true professional with integrity. read more

Recently, my wife Carrie and I had the privilege of working with Chuck Crist of Cabrillo Real Estate on a townhome purchase for our daughter. In our case, we were on a tight timeframe to close (within 14 days) and start the remodel to ensure the home was "move-in" ready. Chuck's commitment to our total satisfaction was extraordinary and unfailing, up to and including purchasing the paint and delivering it to the contractors to complete the job for final review. I recognize an opinion is only as credible as the source, so considering we have been involved in multiple transactions (from homes to office buildings) in both California and Texas, we believe Chuck is at the very top of his field. We would all agree that personal integrity, great communication, and transaction focus are all important, but more often than not it's difficult to find individuals with just one of these qualities, much less all three. In Chuck's case, he excels in all three! Carrie and I would welcome the opportunity to expand on our experience with Chuck if anyone has additional questions. Sincerely, Skip and Carrie Phillips read more

Review of Chuck Crist October, 2019-December, 2019. My working with Chuck Crist was delightful. I live in Baja Mexico, and bought a house in Escondido, Ca. Living so far away, I was so thankful to have a realtor I could trust totally, to look after all my interests in the transaction. The negotiations necessary to complete my sale was done beautifully by Mr. Crist. He goes far beyond the service I've gotten in the past from realtors I've worked with. When I was unable to reach lenders or contact, insurance agents and my escrow company, Mr Crist would always follow up and insure all connections were made. He is a wonderful source of needed resources, and always generous in lending a hand in making sure the transactions involved in a purchase are thoroughly and timely completed. I always knew I could count on Chuck Crist to cover all bases and uphold my best interest in all transactions. Whoever works with Chuck Crist will find themselves quite fortunate. I highly recommend him as an excellent realtor. Sincerely, Kathleen Batesole read more

Willie & Gina Dodson are one of the most knowlegdgeable & caring agents you can choose. You will never be dissapointed. I work with many real estate agents and they are at the top in my book. Their dedication to delivering knock-your-socks-off service is unmatched. They genuinely care about thier clients and are always looking out for thier best interests. When they work with you it's like they are working for a family member. They specialize in the Oceanside area and I don't know anyone that knows that market better. They will help get you into your new home and be there to help years later! They are also very knowledgeable in VA loans and military buyers, as Willie is a retired Navy Corpsman and have helped many active and retired miltary buyers become happy homeowners. I highly recommend them. read more

My wife and I consider ourselves very fortunate to have met and worked with Chuck on two real estate transactions. We purchased and later sold a great house with Chuck's assistance and tenured guidance. Chuck is someone who genuinely advocates for and takes care of his clients. My wife and I were first time home buyers and eventually first time home sellers. Through both transactions we were so pleased to have him on our side. Chuck is someone who has lived in the area for decades and therefore knows what is possible in our specific market. His knowledge, professionalism and friendly demeanor, along with his attentive and assertive negotiation and communication skills makes him a great ally to have on your team. My wife and couldn't be happier with his services and honored to also call him a friend. read more

Andrew and the team at Cabrillo sold our home and helped us purchase a new one in 2014, and we're back again in the process currently. Andrew shows the utmost professionalism, arriving with full presentations, packets and all the information you need to have your questions answered. His team used high quality photographers, arial work, full 3D tours and video presentations to make our home as appealing as possible and with less than a week on the market, it's already receiving more traffic than expected. All this while Andrew is helping us navigate purchasing a new construction home. He gives timely updates on progress and communication is fantastic with the rest of the team! Couldn't be happier or recommend any higher! read more

The Good Day realty team of Willie & Gina Dodson helped me and my young family find a home to raise our children in. They bent over backward for us throughout the process. They are both excellent communicators and well-versed in all aspects of home buying. Their wisdom, experience and care set them apart from most agents. People know when someone is BS-ing them- we sense when someone is disingenuous... well, Willie & Gina are some of the most upstanding humans I've met- full of integrity and honor. They are radically shifting perspective of real estate agents one transaction at a time. We are forever grateful to this dynamic duo... they might consider a name change to Flipping Awesome Day. : ) read more

AMAZING!!! Andrew and his team at Cabrillo are all so wonderful! Andrew helped our family of 5 get our dream home in Valley Center! We are a one income family and buying our first home seemed almost impossible, Andrew was so patient, kind, and helpful! Financially, we were looking in the lower part of the real estate market which is so tough as a first time homebuyer. Andrew Was encouraging and patient and knowledgeable on how to work with us as first time homebuyers. We were able to BUY OUR FIRST HOME!!! And let me tell you, it is beyond our wildest dreams! Thank you Andrew and the Cabrillo team! We were greatly blessed by your integrity and care for our family! read more

Wow! Closing on my first home! I can not believe how awesome Willie and Gina Dodson of the Good Day Team have been. As a first time buyer with a smaller budget, I received less than exceptional service from other realitors. The moment I met Willie and Gina things suddenly became easier. They walked us through every step, and made sure we understood everything from the home search, to the lending, to closing and more! They make the perfect team, Willie being a walking source of knowledge and Gina the ultimate home hunter. I could not be more pleased with my experience and would recommend them to anyone searching for there new home. read more

Andrew was what made the sale of our home happen in the 1st week it went up for sale. He then was a great help with the purchase of our new home, making it as smooth as possible. He never gave up on us, even when I felt we must be the pickiest people he ever had to find a home for. He then had to deal with multiple banks, due to it being a short sale. He has wonderful communication skills, that kept everything moving along. We were so happy with his results, we asked him to sell my mother-in-law's home. Again, another quick sale and a quick close of escrow too. He's the perfect agent to have on your side. I whole heartedly recommend him. read more

So a big Thank You Chuck for helping us in making our dream of buying a home come true. God Bless, James & Rita Mason read more

Chuck Crist and Cabrillo Team Realty are the best in the business. They go the extra mile with excellent customer service. Chuck is an out of the box thinker that can get a slow moving property going again and quickly into escrow. Not only that, Chuck and Andrew have lived and worked in the area for so long they have more experience than any realty team in the area. That local knowledge will help you find the perfect home in the exact right neighborhood for your family. I highly recommend Cabrillo Team Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell their house. They are the best! read more

We had an excellent experience with Andrew and his wonderful team selling our home. Andrew ALWAYS provided prompt responses to questions and calls. He and his team are very knowledgeable and experienced. Their use of technology in the selling process allowed us to sign almost all of the paperwork using only our computer or phone. We plan to use Andrew and his Cabrillo Team on all our future property transactions. We have had other family and friends work with Andrew and his team and they have had exactly the some wonderful experience. read more

I can't say enough good things about Chuck Crist and his team at Cabrillo Realty. Chuck was friendly, easy to work with, readily available and also very knowledgeable and experienced. In today's market, you cannot underestimate the value of such an honest, hard-working professional. I am convinced Chuck's wisdom made the difference between me walking away empty-handed from competitive properties and getting the best one I saw! I would recommend Chuck and his team without reservation! read more

I had the pleasure of working with a few members of the Cabrillo team. They were all very courteous and quick to respond. In the end, Sam helped me find the right place. She was so patient and kept a positive attitude throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond to get me the best deal. She took care of everything and made the whole process really easy. She is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to buy a home. read more
