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.

We had already moved 600 miles away when Jackie listed our house, but it felt like she was in our living room the whole time. Her knowledge of the local market was unmistakable and she truly shined navigating a complex escrow. If you're looking to sell in San Diego County call Jackie. She sold our place tied for the highest price in the neighborhood (in a buyer's market), and she was incredible from start to finish. She truly went above - "above and beyond" for us. Jackie is proactive, highly skilled at problem-solving, and dedicated to getting the best result for her client! She certainly did for us! In our case, we accepted an offer and opened escrow less than a week after the first open house. But the buyers struggled to meet their deadlines. Jackie handled these challenges with incredible poise and professional tenacity. She stepped in, stayed on top of every single detail, and kept the whole deal from falling apart, twice! She kept in communication with us the whole time (600 miles away) and got the deal past the finish line, in under eight weeks!

We were working with a lender, getting deep into the process. Our offer was accepted, we put a good faith deposit down and we were now in escrow. Once we received the loan estimate from our lender, we still owed about $8k on top of our good faith deposit. That just didn't sit well with us. In a roundabout way, we got Mike's contact info, and reached out to him on a Friday. He worked tirelessly all weekend and got us extremely better numbers. Not only did he save us almost $28k, but he also explains EVERYTHING. We've never bought a home before so there were a lot of things we hadn't seen before that we had questions on. Mike would go line by line on the loan estimate and other documents on the phone with us. Although we switched lenders mid escrow, Mike was so prompt in his work and extremely diligent, that we closed only ONE DAY after our initial estimated close day. If you're looking for a home, this is your guy. Working with Mike will be one of the best decisions you'll make when looking for your next home.

As a military family coordinating return from deployment overseas, as well as a move across the…read morecountry upon return, we were unable to tour houses in person and yet needed a place to land before starting the next tour in Southern California. Despite this, Robyn Goodkind (virtually) took us through, in immaculate detail, each of the homes that we were interested, as well as proposed lovely options tailored to our family's budget, wants, and needs. Each house she toured with us she set out pros and cons of cost-to-value, location, and any architectural nuances. She was more than open to discussion and feedback given some of the unorthodox interests and pets we have. She helped us pursue some houses that she advised caution against, and when it didn't work out, where "I told you so" would have been apropos, she was ever graceful and helped us to pivot and rebound quickly! Ultimately, the house that she recommended highest was the one we decided upon; however, once the paperwork was signed (remotely), when most folks cut ties and run, she was just getting started. She went through great lengths after closing to ensure that the house was move-in-ready. Now, having unpacked and settled for a short while, we are ready to take on our next chapter, and we owe it, sincerely, to Robyn. Thank you Robyn!! ( o o )

We are moving back to the North County area from the East Coast and had a very limited window to see houses in person. Ahead of our visit, Holly did a great job listening to what we wanted, providing options for us to review, and gathering feedback to distill the market down to houses that fit all of our parameters. During our house hunting trip, Holly tirelessly showed us house after house, including several day-of additions, to ensure that we had a solid understanding of the market. During this time, Holly did a great job of sticking to our original vision while adapting to our feedback as we started to better understand the market. Through this process, we felt we able to make an informed decision despite only having a few days in the area. On the last day, we found a home that was the right combination of all the things we wanted and needed for this next chapter of our lives. With a clear first choice, Holly fought hard to ensure that we were able to secure a winning offer. With her help and guidance we got the offer accepted just as we were getting ready to leave California at the end of our house-hunting trip! Getting that offer accepted was a huge victory, but Holly's effort and value did not stop there. Through every step of the the escrow process, Holly continued to advise us and fight for the best deal. This effort saved us a lot of money and made us feel confident that we truly walked away with the best price the market would allow. Even after closing Holly has continued to be a vital asset as we transition back to California. By conducting walk throughs and working with the selling agent to ensure that the property is ready for move in, Holly has once again shown that she is committed to ensuring that our best interests are represented through every aspect of the real estate buying experience. In addition to all of these wonderful qualities, working with Holly was fun! We had a great time getting to know her and she turned what could have been an absolute grind into an enjoyable and educational experience. She has our absolute highest recommendation!
