We had no idea what to expect aside from what parents/friends had told us, and Michael was ready to answer every. single. question. we had day or night. He got us viewings within hours of requesting them, and he was always willing to go the extra mile. In fact, we had an untraditional financial situation, and rather than letting it be a hinderance to our search, Michael turned it into our greatest strength when it came to putting in offers. Thanks to his polite and persistent communication skills, Michael successfully guided the seller of our new home to accept our offer within 24 hours before any competing offers were on the table! Overall, we would recommend Michael to anyone searching for their next property. Thanks Michael!

He was professional and polite and kept on top of everything that needed to be done for his clients to meet all the deadlines. He also, gave me a nice bouquet of flowers after the close to say thank you for all my help during the purchasing process. Which was more than my own agents did after the close, which was very disappointing and unprofessional that my agent did nothing in the way of a thank you.

Corey's years of experience and expertise made a difference. He took the time to answer questions and he provided the support they needed. We trusted Corey to help our friends find a home that would accommodate their large family in the school district and community they desired. Our friends had other options, but we recommended Corey Murphy. He's a trusted and reliable real estate agent for people looking in North County San Diego.

Joe is an expert at his craft and an excellent person to work with!…read more I am a first-time homebuyer - Joe gave me his true opinion on places to avoid and go-after with legitimate reasons for both. I cannot even count the number of times Joe worked outside of normal business hours, including weekends, to provide support and insight. Joe's help extends beyond the role of a traditional real estate agent. He is deeply ingrained in the Oceanside community so he knows every inspector/service rep needed - who were also all fantastic to work with. This sounds cliche but it is the truth. If you work with Joe, you will have an advocate who provides a VIP-experience. There's no better way to describe my experience. Thank you Joe!

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.

I can't say enough great things about working with Erin! I was tasked with selling my late mother's…read morehome and needed to handle everything remotely. Erin made what could've been a stressful and overwhelming process incredibly smooth. She lined up vendors for repairs, landscaping, staging--you name it--and took care of every detail with care and professionalism. She kept me in the loop the entire time, explained the comps clearly, and had a strong marketing plan that really made the home shine. Her advice on what to fix and what could be left as-is was super helpful. If you're looking for a Realtor who's knowledgeable, responsive, and truly goes above and beyond--Erin is the one. Highly recommend!

Barb and John are excellent caring agents and did a great job finding our new home in Carlsbad…read more From start to finish they were very patient while they showed us around on multiple visits and always greeted us with a SMILE. Once we found our new home they were great communicators and very helpful throughout the purchase process. Barb also went above and beyond by spending all day with a cleaning crew to have our house ready for us. We highly recommend the Klasic Team.

Our experience working with Barbara and John Klasic with First Team far exceeded our expectations!…read more Navigating through the crazy 2021 San Diego North County real estate market needed some serious expertise. This being a severe seller's market, will test the most qualified buyers and that's where the expertise of seasoned local realtors kicks in! Being among the fairly high-profile realtors in the San Diego North County area has its advantage. In this market success breeds success and boy are we really happy we decided to work with Barb and John. They patiently showed us countless houses and kept motivating us when we didn't land some houses in spite of putting in very strong purchase offers. Once we identified a house that met our needs, Barb and John came up with a clear strategy on the offer. They used their expertise and knowledge by putting together the cleanest and crispest offers and negotiation strategies. Barb and John's professionalism was demonstrated numerous times. They were extremely on top of things and nothing ever fell through the cracks. Their strategy was customized to the target house and the conditions it presented. There were times when Barb and John would tell us up front if a particular house was not the right house for us. There were many houses that were listed low and they would accurately predict what a particular house would go for. We saved a lot of time by not putting offers in on houses that looked within our reach but really weren't given the aggressive seller's market conditions. We had a number of rigid requirements like location, single level, healthcare, schools, etc. but had very slim pickings finding a newer single level house in a super low inventory situation. Navigating our specific requirements and helping us land the right house was a difficult task for anyone. We couldn't be happier with the assistance we received from both of them during the entire house buying process. We strongly recommend Barb and John for your real estate needs!

All of the transactions Lisa has handled have gone VERY smoothly with her guidance. One sale occurred in its entirety when I was living out-of-state, and Lisa made even that easy!
