She had answers for everything, made the process seamless, and got my condo sold fast (I had 2 offers in a few days!) with zero hiccups. I'm incredibly grateful to have had her on my side. Highly recommend!

I worked with Kimberly recently when I bought my first condo. She was extremely welcoming and…read moreinformative, and made the intimidating experience of buying my first place a very pleasant one. I felt she advocated for me at all the right points of the process, and educated me on many important aspects of buying a home and home ownership in general. She got me a great deal on a really cute condo in Mission Hills, and I still feel very satisfied with the whole process and with my new home! I would definitely recommend hiring Kimberly to help you buy or sell your home. Five Stars!

They state this is now a standard contract. I've looked everywhere and can't find in CA law about this. We notified them (which was our right according to the property management agreement) that we needed that to come out. They refused and then took 6 months of property management fees out of our June rent!!!! We are now suing them to get that back. Do not believe the 4 or 5 star reviews now. Since they have added this non-disparagement addendum, you wont' see truthful reviews based on fear of eviction! You will see mostly high stars which is not based on actual representation.

Giving five stars and a glowing review is simply not enough to express how happy we were to work…read morewith The GreenHouse team. As first time home buyers, we had no idea where to start. We were also out of state which made everything that much more difficult. I'm a big Yelp user and relied on the hundreds of other 5-star reviews to look for a real estate company. I was so impressed with Craig and Jesse from the start. The initial call was SO organized, thorough, and personal. Not only did they give us a incredibly detailed step-by-step guide of the buyer's process, but also spent the time to learn more about us as people and what we were looking for in a home. I was surprised my how much time and energy was invested before even signing any contracts with them. After meeting with a few different teams, we chose the GreenHouse Group and 100% stand by our decision! Communication was consistently strong and we were always in contact with someone/the entire team along the way. We worked with Lori & Alexa who also helped us navigate documents and important deadlines. The GreenHouse Group has a well-designed platform to track the home buying process--making it easy to see deadlines and to-dos. We worked with Craig for our Kick-Off Tour. The GHG evaluation system for homes captured everything important to consider when purchasing a home and we learned so much about what to look for when checking out a home. Craig was straight-up, incredibly knowledgable, and clearly looking out for our best interest. He took us to see quite a number of homes that day and even had snacks and waters to keep us going! Unexpectedly, and uncommonly, we found a home from that weekend's trip we wanted to put an offer on. Craig jumped right in and guided us through the 'make-an-offer' process. He worked incredibly hard to negotiate on our behalf and was able to coordinate inspections and video walk-throughs for us when we couldn't be physically present. We were always promptly and transparently well-informed and advised. We never felt pressured or persuaded to make any decisions. Craig and the GHG team presented the facts and gave recommendations based on 20+ years of company experience--always looking out for our best interest. They were 'real' and weren't out to "sell us" on anything. Even during the rent-back process, the team coordinated with the other realtor to work with the sellers on transitions and key dates. It was super fun when Jesse and Lori were already at the house when we arrived to pick up our keys--what a thoughtful surprise! To top it off, they came with a whole container of new home goodies and essentials for us to use while we settled in (and even had some for our dog!) The care box was super useful, especially when we didn't have any of our kitchen items yet! Even after the sale and getting our keys, the GHG team is still there to answer your questions and help you out--including a list of recommended contractors and other services you might need when moving into a new home. I'm sure I am forgetting something here, but needless to say, we 10/10 recommend the GreenHouse Group to anyone looking to buy (or sell!) a home. We have no regrets and could not have asked for a better team. Thank you GHG!

Selling a home is stressful (especially for someone like me!) but Lori and Jesse made the whole…read moreprocess feel surprisingly easy. They were always available to answer questions, kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I knew what to expect throughout the process. Their advice on pricing and negotiations was spot on, and everything moved smoothly from getting my house ready to list all the way through closing. I also want to give a shoutout to their TC, Alexa. She kept everything organized behind the scenes, was always responsive and helpful, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. I have no doubt that her attention to detail played a big part in helping us close on time. Thank you to Lori, Alexa and Jesse in making this process feel smooth and manageable! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive team to help sell your home, this is your team!

During my last three years at UCSD, I lived at one of the rental properties owned by Rosemary. I…read morewill start off by saying, Rosemary is a tough woman. Initially, she was tough to communicate with because she is very particular about what she expects from her tenants. However, after living there for so many years, Rosemary and I were able to understand each other very well. When you tell her about an issue, she will want to know every detail about the occurrence and will send help immediately (she has connections to many repair specialists) to resolve the matter. Furthermore, as long as you keep the place clean and she don't get receive any complaints from the neighbors, Rosemary will not bother you, and you'll be able to live very peacefully. Moreover, the monthly payment must be paid promptly. Overall, she puts a lot of faith and trust in the tenants she chooses to take care of the home. Lastly, Rosemary is a great person. She has a very keen sense of humor, and is a warm, kind person under her hard exterior. Being a young, college student at the time, she was very understanding and gave me a lot of good advice in many areas. She really wants the best for her tenants and hopes to keep a good relationship with them moving forward. I would refer any future prospects looking for a place in San Diego to Rosemary!

I have been Rosemary's tenant at Marbella Properties for one year. Rosemary is a very good person…read moreto have on your side, and she is very reasonable if you are nice with her. Rosemary has broken english, but I have never had a problem understanding her english because she speaks clearly. Her emails may not be "professional" in the sense that she, again, has broken english, but I feel it is unfair to judge someone on their accent or writing abilities if they are still able to communicate effectively, especially if they weren't born here. I still live in San Diego and Rosemary has told me she is happy to be my landlord in the future. She even offered to help me find a new place, and I appreciate her kindness. We have had a good business relationship and I look forward to doing business with Rosemary in the future. Rosemary is tough on renters who create drama, so if you are inflammatory and unprofessional when you interact with her, she will not put up with it. However, if you are polite and act appropriately, you will not have any problems with Rosemary. Due to the one-star review previously left by Celeste S, I felt compelled to write a counter review, especially because her review actually states my name, as well as others. I find it very inappropriate and passive-aggressive to air out your dirty laundry for a Yelp review. I hope that while you consider all reviews on Yelp, that you would also consider the source. This is exactly why I think Yelp doesn't work for smaller businesses with owners who dont use Yelp consistently, it can hurt their business with disgruntled people, while the owners are not even aware of it due to a generation gap.

I preferred the other buyer who put actual cash in my hand to lock in the deal. When I told the company I wished to move forward with the other buyer, I was told that I had signed legal documents and they slapped me with a lawsuit. My neighbors knew the market at the time, and one of them buys and sells homes for a living. He said he could have gotten me much more but couldn't step in with the suit in place. It was a low-ball bid, and the whole transaction was conducted in an unscrupulous manner. But such is their reputation in San Diego.

I am currently in the middle of my third real estate transaction with Gary (buying our first home,…read moreselling it now, and buying our new place). I am someone who analyzes every detail and worries about the numbers, so I needed a strategic partner, not just a salesperson. What stands out most is Gary's integrity. During our search, he actually advised us against buying certain homes because he spotted drawbacks I had missed or knew they wouldn't fit our long-term goals. He wasn't trying to close a quick deal; he wanted to make sure the move was actually worth it for us - that we were getting more square footage, accounting for a possible growing family, and other things we've mentioned to him. When it came to selling our current home, I really appreciated how realistic he was about the price. Instead of promising us an inflated number just to get the listing, he gave us a brutally honest, data-backed valuation. He manages expectations perfectly so there are no surprises later. It's honestly wild how dialed-in he is to the San Diego market. He's been doing this for decades, and it shows! He walks into a house and predicts almost exactly what it would sell for (and he was always right). He knew exactly how to negotiate so we didn't overpay, showed us off-market homes we never would have seen on Zillow, and knew precisely when to strike to get our offer accepted. We've talked with other agents through open houses we've casually walked through, but watching Gary work is different; he pulls off these complex moves effortlessly and with such a good nature that you almost forget how sharp the strategy actually is. We are currently trusting him with the complex process of buying and selling simultaneously, and having someone who will give you the unvarnished truth is invaluable. If you want an agent who protects your interests over his commission, Gary is the one.

We've worked with Gary for years (he helped us buy our first home, too), and there is a reason we…read morekeep coming back. Other agents we ran into at open houses felt like they just wanted to push us into buying or selling, Gary does the opposite. There were multiple houses we thought we liked that Gary gently steered us away from because he pointed out issues we hadn't noticed: like noise levels or layout problems that would have driven us crazy later. He spent a lot of time making sure this move made sense for our lives before we ever signed a paper. He treats his clients like family, meaning he protects you even when it slows down the process. He makes the stressful parts feel manageable. If you want someone who is chill, honest, and actually has your back when things get complicated, Gary is your guy.

He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and never made us feel rushed or pressured. What really stood out was how strongly he advocated for us during negotiations. He clearly had our best interests in mind at every step and gave thoughtful, honest advice that helped us make confident decisions. His knowledge of the market and attention to detail made the entire process feel smooth and well-managed. Buying/selling a home can be stressful, but Jesús made it feel straightforward and under control. We always felt informed, supported, and like we had someone truly in our corner. We couldn't recommend him more highly and would absolutely work with him again in the future!
