I was looking to move up from a smaller condo in the SDSU area and was put into contact with Joe. I was a bit hesitant at first because his office is about 2.5 hours away, but that did not deter Joe one bit. Over the course of 18 months, Joe searched many homes, condos, and townhouses in the San Diego area personally visiting over 20. As I am not local to the area (I live in Virginia!) this was extremely beneficial to me. When Joe found the "right" place, I immediately sent an email authorizing an offer. We closed within 21 days of offer acceptance - I did not even personally visit the property until after a month had passed. I was ecstatic! Joe did a fantastic job listening to my "must haves/can't haves" and negotiated a deal with the out-of-state owner in the most professional and courteous manner imaginable.
I was so pleased with the purchase process in my new home, I asked Joe to sell my older, smaller condo. After a thorough walk-through, Joe suggested I make some improvements to make the condo more attractive to buyers. I picked his brain (Joe is very detail oriented) and took his advice. The result: I made $30K worth of improvements and placed the condo on the market. Within 3 days, I had 3 offers. On the 6th day, I accepted an offer that was $40K more than I expected to receive. I could not have sold this home at that price if it had not been for Joe's advice and involvement.
Google says there are 184,000 licensed real estate agents in California. I say there is 1. Give Joe a call - you will not be disappointed.
