Serri was an absolutely exceptional real estate agent, and we can't recommend her and her partner…read moreGeorge highly enough. We hired Serri to sell our five-acre property with an exceptional panoramic view, our beloved home, and from the very first walkthrough she was extremely professional and thorough. She inspected every bit of the home and grounds and immediately knew how to position it to meet our specific goal: a quick sale, at a strong price, with no lingering on the market and no price reductions. A previous agent had pitched our home as a retirement property, which never sat right with us. Serri saw it exactly as we did, as a family home, and priced and marketed it accordingly. She brought in her own staging team, photographer, and videographer (including drone footage), and recommended a handful of relatively small, inexpensive updates, including a fresh paint job. The return on those modest changes was remarkable. They made a huge difference in how the home showed and clearly helped drive up buyer interest and the final sale price. Serri and George held a single open house that brought in over 100 visitors, and within 48 hours we had two offers above our asking price, from a family with young children and another who was ready to start one. Both could clearly picture themselves living there. Serri and George managed every step of the process with great care and skill. We were also in the middle of an international move at the time, which made everything more stressful, and Serri and George took every worry off our plate. Whether you're buying, selling, or just need solid advice, Serri and George are fantastic, and we recommend them without hesitation.

We had our house on the market for several months with a different realtor. It was not a good experience. After many months of frustrations, I contacted Neda. She came to our house PREPARED and had done her due diligence on our property prior to our meeting. We walked thru the house and then sat down and reviewed what she picked out "to do" to bring top dollar. She immediately noted lighting need some upgrades. She noted we should paint the exterior a different color. She noted a couple of rooms needed painted. She noted several other items. Mind you this is a custom built 4200 sqft home in an awesome neighborhood. Anyway, we followed her check list and worked with a couple of her contractors to do all the recommended items. We didn't even list the house and she sold it in three days for a very good price! I am not sure why anyone in the North County/Encinitas/Del Mar, Solana Beach etc... area would use anyone other than Neda and her team. They quite simply are THE BEST realtors in the area! I think she could write a book and teach so many other realtors, the proper way to sell homes. Thank you Neda!!

While I'm originally from San Diego, I'm unfamiliar with the real estate market other than looking at properties on Zillow. While talking to a childhood friend, she recommended her realtor Erin and gave me her number. It felt too intrusive to call her personal cellphone so I decided to go to her website to learn more about her and ultimately decided to call the general number. Well, guess who answered?! lol Erin. I had to mute the phone shortly after she answered because I was awkwardly giggling to myself like a crazy person. I guess I just figured someone from her team would answer so it's funny I ended up talking to her anyway. We had a nice conversation. While I had many questions, she patiently answered them all. She offered locations to consider in my price range, townhomes and single family homes and places that don't charge an HOA. I thought HOA's were only on condo's, derp. Erin demonstrated to me that she's more interested in the relationship than the transaction and I respect that. We went ahead and scheduled an appointment at her office next week so she can help me with planning.

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.

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.

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.
