Shay made every aspect of the process easy and stress free. He clearly communicated how things would go and was always available to answer our questions with a positive, upbeat attitude.

I highly recommend Shay and his team if you are interested in selling or purchasing your next property.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Wes. As a buyer, especially in today's…read moremarket, you have to move quickly. This can be an extremely stressful experience. The home buying process can feel like navigating a maze while feeling all too much pressure. That is where Wes comes in. Not once did I feel like just another commission. Never did I feel like he was trying to sell me a home. He listened to what I wanted, and sent me properties that fit my needs and budget. Wes was readily available to communicate with, show me homes, and made me feel like a priority at all times. When considering making an offer on a home, he put together detailed analyses of comps along with a narrative about whether the price was justified. Ultimately when I made an offer, he was extremely strategic in how he presented the offer. His presentation was extremely professional, well strategized for acceptance, and made it very desirable for the seller. My first contract was ultimately accepted, and fortunately I was in a position for a quick closing. I could not recommend Wes more highly, from a buyers perspective, and can't imagine that he wouldn't be just as successful representing a seller. Good agents are tough to find, and I would highly recommend Wes!

Wes was so helpful in finding the right house for me. He listened to what I wanted. Also as a…read morefirst-time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions and he was very patient and explained everything very clearly. We did a 14 day escrow and he worked very hard to get everything done by then. After I bought the house, I wanted to get some remodeling done. He set me up with a great painting company and a kitchen counter installer. Their work was stellar. I highly recommend Wes.

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience buying my home…read more From my very first conversation with Jesse, I could tell he was a go-getter and a great negotiator. He was friendly, down-to-earth, and confident without ever making me feel pressured. That was a big reason I decided to go with him. Then I met Desiree, and she was just as amazing. She was so sweet, easygoing, patient, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. I got to tour all the homes with her, while Jesse was working behind the scenes, giving us his expert advice, thoughts, and strategy along the way. I felt very safe and trusted them instantly because they really worked for my best interest. And when I say we looked at houses... we LOOKED at houses!! We toured MANY homes in such a short amount of time and they made it happen for me and worked with my schedule to accommodate my time. We submitted offers, backup offers, multiple offers, and went through all the ups and downs that come with trying to find the right home. Then one day... BOOM! The seller accepted our offer! Not only did they help me get the house, but Jesse and Desiree were able to negotiate a huge discount for me, along with credits toward closing costs. That made such a difference, and I'm incredibly grateful for how hard they worked on my behalf. Throughout the entire process, they were supportive, helpful, responsive, and always there whenever I needed something. But honestly, what stood out to me the most was that it never really felt like I was working with real estate agents. It felt like I was working with old friends and family who genuinely cared about helping me get into my home, and now they're friends to me. Much love and respect to them And when we finally got the keys , they even surprised me with some really thoughtful little gifts, and a surprise at home. Such a sweet way to finish an already amazing experience. So, thank you, Des, for being so patient, kind, and easy to work with. And thank you, Jesse, for being such a great negotiator and for always having our back throughout the entire process. I truly appreciate everything you both did for me, and I'm so happy I chose you guys to help me through one of the biggest purchases of my life. Thank you, Jesse and Desiree! If anyone is looking for a real estate team that will actually be there for you and make you feel like more than just another client, I'd definitely recommend giving them a call!

I give them the highest rating possible for their care, responsiveness, advice, and attention to detail. I would also note that some people say they will treat your money like their own. But Jesse lived it...fighting harder than I was for seemingly small amount of money...he's a hell of a negotiator! I highly recommend Jesse and the Greenhouse team if you're looking to buy or sell.

But then a couple weeks after the first open house we were already going into escrow to sell the house which was amazing . We sold the house for more than asking so that made our profit margin higher which was also amazing I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to sell their house or buy a house .

He had carefully analyzed the comps in the area so arriving at a selling price that the three of us were confident and comfortable with did not take long. The first open house produced success with multiple offers. Joseph is professional, communicative, timely and easy to work with - along with his entire team. Despite the challenging market, the entire process from introductions to close of escrow moved along seamlessly. Bottom line: I highly recommend Joseph and team and would seek his help for future needs.

They helped me find and qualify tenants and were there to show the house at the appropriate times. They have different levels of property management services to provide depending on how much I wanted to be involved. I chose the 'light management' approach as I live right next door to the house. It worked out perfectly! And the cost was just right! They're clearly experienced and highly professional. I would certainly use them again should the opportunity come along

Wes, Mike, and his staff are incredible professionals. We were tenants at one of their properties,…read moreour lease had ended, and we were in the process of buying a home. We needed more time to get out of the rental home, and Wes was a great help - he was able to get us 2 additional weeks to move, coordinated the cleaning of the home, and promptly provided our deposit with a transparent accounting of everything that was done. It is rare to deal with people in the property management business who actually care about people and have real integrity - if you are an owner of a property, I would 100% recommend working with Wes and his team!

Just had to come here and rave about how happy we are with The Alchemy Company!…read more We are a real estate team who has always had our own TC within our team. It ended up getting too overwhelming for one person as our team grew so we needed a better solution for our agents. I asked around to a few well connected operations people that I respect in this industry and two of them said you have to check out Alchemy! ALL of the TCs who work there are top notch! Anna the owner is sooo incredibly pleasant to work with. I really feel like she cares about our teams needs and even me as a person. Any time I've asked her for help she calls me and emails me with an above and beyond type serving attitude. She linked our team up with Lisa who is outstanding. Hands down one of the best TCs I have ever worked with and we have over 400 transactions under our belt! I am just really happy with our experience and needed to give them a shout out! If you're in need of a TC company... look no further! Alchemy will knock your socks off!

Ryan Dalzell and his team are AMAZING!!!! They helped my wife and I find our dream home…read more We lived in the Bay Area for most of our lives and have always talked about moving to San Diego. We looked at houses online for over a year and finally decided to look for a Real Estate Agent. A friend referred us to Ryan Dalzell. Initially I was really skeptical about buying a home without physically seeing it. Ryan assured us that he will help make it happen as he had/has several clients in a similar circumstance. He showed us numerous houses via facetime. During these showings Ryan was always on time, he was really professional, knowledgeable, very detailed-oriented, and most importantly he always pointed out all the negative aspects of the home (without us prompting). He never sugar coated anything. Throughout the entire process I really got a sense that he was NOT trying to make a quick transaction, and he really wanted us to buy our dream home. He never pressured us to do anything. He answered all texts and emails in a prompt manner. When we finally found our dream house, Ryan was on top of the negotiation process. He would actively communicate with us and the seller's agent. He was always PROMPT! When we entered the closing stage, Ryan's team would text and email us updates and documents that required signatures. Ryan was 100% hands on during this process as well. He would make numerous trips to the house when needed or upon our request without delay. If we needed something repaired, he provided a quote from a handyman. Not only did he help us with the purchase, he also made our move-in process seamless and effortless. I can't say enough good things about Ryan Dalzell and his team.

Ryan was amazing; from advising on what work was needed - to finding and booking contractors, stagers, cleaners, and the handyman - to personally meeting them all at the home - to taking care of numerous other details we would normally have done if we were in the area - he literally did it all for us. He also provided insight on what was happening and likely going to happen in this volatile market that was uncannily on point. I asked him for next week's Mega Millions numbers, but he wouldn't tell me. Other than that, he was the perfect realtor. Thanks for everything Ryan and the Dalzell Group!
