Given the competitive climate, and the fact that we are first time home buyers, I was very nervous. I specifically sought help from an agent with a calm demeanor, and confident grasp of the market. After having cycled through some frantic agents, pressuring us to make uninformed offers, Bo was a breath of fresh air. In an amazing turn of events, we made our very first offer late May 2022. We competed with three other offers, initially coming in as the lowest. Due to his coaching, experience, expertise and personal touches, we successfully closed in three short weeks! After searching for a home in the San Diego Market for 14 months, we understood how competitive it would be and can't express how much value Bo brought to the table. This is a man of great integrity, humility and so much heart for his clients. He was always available to answer any questions. His influence in the area and strong relationships with the local agents made our first time a breeze. Don't sleep on Bo Bortner!

Our family spent months working on our home to sell…read moreit, mostly paint and packing up or removing 11 years of stuff, and we were completely overwhelmed. We had been talking to another realtor, but he was set in his strategy of low listing price and listing on a Monday, etc, etc and we just needed to get the house on the market. We contacted Julie at the advice of a friend and she worked with us to develop a plan, get the house ready for pictures, and get it on the market within a week. She gave us daily checklists to help us manage our chaos and she called us nearly everyday to make sure we were on track for professional photos. When we were maybe not going to make it, she sent her own brother out to help us finish the front yard. When we listed, we finally listed for a range price like we wanted, but she actually suggested an higher price for the high end of the range than we had thought. We were a little nervous about that, but we went into escrow with 4 offers in 4 days and got over our higher asking price despite our own hesitation and the market slowing down. Julie kept in contact every step of the way so that we understood what was going on. The entire process was a stressful whirl wind and she made it feel manageable. We cannot thank her enough.

Note: After writing this, I cooled off a bit, and toned it down. Sorry if it's a bit wordy; I…read morewanted to give you all the facts. We had a horrible experience with Chad Dannecker and his office, and absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND you go through them for anything. Chad is unprofessional, dishonest, and injects his abrasive personality and insecurities into situations where they do not belong. First off: We worked with Realtor Stacy Otto, and she was wonderful - I recommend her without reservation. She helped us find our new place, and was available, personable, and professional. She is an independent realtor, and only sometimes works with Chad's office - as long as you're not looking at one of Chad's listings, I recommend you go through her! BOTTOM LINE UP FRONT: We agreed to all the terms of the contract with the owner, but Chad refused to make corrections that all parties had agreed to. He then LIED to us and to the owner, telling us that our verbal agreement served as an addendum to the contract, and we didn't need to put it in writing. Not true, Chad. It's not Chad's business what's in the contract; his job is merely to broker the deal. Chad's attitude screams, "I can't be bothered with this; it's not worth my valuable time." Well, Chad, if you can't be bothered with the details of our deal, why should anyone else trust you with the details of their interests? I hope that after reading this, potential clients will save themselves the headache and seek their real estate expertise elsewhere. DETAILS: After Stacy helped us find the perfect place, she negotiated terms with the owner, and we arrived at an agreement. Chad was the listing agent for the property, so we had to go through him for the signing. His assistant, Lauryn, prepared the contract, and I asked her to correct one clause which was missing some key language - a change that the owner had already agreed to - which was the only remaining issue, and that we would sign the contract the moment it was updated. There followed several emails back and forth between me and Lauryn, in which she tried to convince me that I didn't need to have the contract updated, as the owner and I had already verbally agreed to these terms. I pointed out to her the paragraph in the contract that specifically states that any prior agreements between parties that are not explicitly included in the contract are null and void. I got an email directly from Chad, which read: "Take it or leave it. [Owner] gave his word, if you don't think it means anything then it's probably not a good fit." Further down the email, I saw that Lauryn commented to Chad "This guy..." referring to me. She was probably a bit frustrated at me asking her to DO HER JOB and update the contract - I can't understand the lack of professionalism that caused Chad to include her rude comment in correspondence with me. I called the owner to ensure that we were all on the same page; he said he'd agreed to the change, and he asked me to have Chad update the contract. I contacted Chad's office (through Stacy, who remained professional and helpful) to direct them to make the change that BOTH PARTIES AGREED TO, and I received a response that Chad refused to make the correction. Apparently, Chad's reluctance to make the change was because he couldn't be troubled to "waste any more of his valuable time" making corrections to contracts. He's just too good to be bothered with such mundane issues, it seems. Chad then convinced the owner that 1) the change didn't need to be made, as our verbal agreement was sufficient, and 2) if I'm the sort of person who's so insistent about small details, then I'm likely not the sort of person they should deal with in the first place. ON THE FIRST POINT, CHAD LIED. According to the contract, "All understandings between the parties are incorporated in this Agreement. Its terms are intended by the parties as a final, complete and exclusive expression of their Agreement with respect to its subject matter, and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior agreement or contemporaneous oral agreement." In English, this means that any agreement not specifically written into the contract DOES NOT EXIST. Chad's statement that our oral agreement to the terms is sufficient, is a plain-out lie. On the second point, CHAD'S UNPROFESSIONALISM IS A HANDICAP TO HIS BUSINESS. His job is to connect two parties of real estate transactions, and to smooth over any differences they may have, in order to facilitate a deal. Chad did the opposite. He had two parties who agreed to all terms of the contract - all Chad had to do was make the requested changes (which would take about five minutes of his assistant's time) and collect his commission. Instead, his ego (and his inability to admit that he was initially wrong) derailed an agreement between two reasonable parties. AVOID DEALING WITH CHAD DANNECKER. He's just not worth the trouble.

That cause late fees and unnecessary confusion. Joshua Burton, the President of this company, tried to gaslight me regarding a missing $300 from my payment. He said I was paid out for it and once I proved I wasn't he stopped responding to me. Victor Long, the property manager for my property, allowed the tenants to repeatedly pay late and didn't take any action until I became more involved with the situation. When I changed property managers we weren't given the documents requested and needed. They gave us duplicates of documents we didn't need. They gave us the incorrect document for the current rent which caused a rent shortage for April 2026. When changing management companies it was discovered an HOA payment was missed (again) and instead of taking responsibility for it Tony and Victor tried to blame it on my new manager. It turns out the check was never cashed, if it was actually sent, so they wouldn't have been able to balance their books. Now there is a late fee I have had to pay for out of pocket because Tony Tibbets won't respond to me Finally the person employed to answer their phones is unhelpful and does the bare minimum. He said his name is Keith but I'm not sure if that's true. Stay as far away from this company as possible!
