I've been toying with the idea to buy an investment property in the San Diego area over the next…read more1-2 years (assuming rates go down to affordable levels). 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.

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.

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 were California natives for over 50 years and were in our CA home for over 20 years. The home required some minor repairs and updating. On top of everything else we were feeling overwhelmed! Thank god, Serri and George were extremely versed (had the contacts) to get the work done in a timely manner. Once the work was completed they staged the home and had some of the best photography performed that I have ever seen. It was seriously HIGH quality work! I have no doubt that this added value and brought more traffic to our home. Once the home was sold it was a breeze! Serri, George and the Team do a great job and I wouldn't hesitate using them again if we were to ever move back to San Diego.

This could be a long story. So, just to be safe, I'll tell you the ending first. Reading beyond…read morethat is up to you... Richard King sold my home in Escondido for more than asking with multiple offers in less than a week. What's even more impressive is that he did it at a really tough time of year to be selling - the end of December. The sales contract was signed on Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas to me! Richard King was recommended to me by someone that I trust. Even so, I interviewed three agents. Richard was the most enthusiastic, but also the most realistic. One of the other agents, with decades in the business and who knows my area, suggested an unbelievably high asking price. Then he was kind of laid back and hinted that he had however long it would take to achieve that price. BUZZ! (Trap door in floor opens...) I DON'T! YOU'RE OUT OF HERE! NEXT! Richard and I had a great business relationship. He is easy-going and fun-loving, but was VERY serious about the business of selling my home! I appreciated that approach. Richard will fight for you, when necessary, and he's very good at it. There were a couple of times during the escrow process that some negative crap rolled my way. Richard handled it effectively on my behalf and got things back on track. The most impressive thing, to me, is that Richard promised to help me out with a financial transaction that was going to transpire AFTER the close of escrow! He could have washed his hands of me after close of escrow. But he didn't! He was true to his word. About 3 weeks after close of escrow, I called him up and said that I needed to take him up on his offer. I'd been trying to handle it myself for three weeks with zero results. Richard stepped right in, spoke on my behalf and resolved the issue in ONE DAY! Richard is THE MAN! Or, if you enjoy a good play on words, I just called him King Richard! TOTALLY AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Going through the first home buying process by myself, I felt tremendously grateful for his guidance. I appreciate that he put absolutely no pressure on me and provided information in an non-judgmental manner when asked silly questions or in need of more clarification. Thank you so much Ivan for getting the condo $10k off asking price and getting the seller to fix all the (minor) repairs. #winning! I am happy to recommend Ivan, especially to first-time home buyers in need of some extra hand-holding. :D

Terrible. I reached out to see the property in wildomar on chiwi and they refused to show it…read morebecause they're in San Diego and it was too far of a drive. Why are you listing a property in wildomar if you can't show it? I don't have a realtor so I'm only working with the listing agents and have toured probably a dozen homes. No other listing agent has had a problem showing me the home THEY ARE LISTING. I was baffled. Plus if I would've made an offer on the home, they would've double ended the commission. I feel sorry for the home owners of that property. I hope they find someone else to sell their property.. who actually shows prospective buyers! I am now in escrow on another house. Could've been the one in wildomar but we'll never know now

From our initial strategy call to closing escrow, the team was outstanding. They guided us on exact home updates to maximize our ROI and provided top-tier contractor recommendations to get our home market-ready. They took the time to explain their pricing and listing strategy step-by-step, addressing every concern along the way. The strategy paid off: we had two solid offers above asking price within hours of our first open house and went into escrow in under a week. Selling our home was so seamless that it took a massive amount of stress off our next purchase. Every member of the SP&T team proved to be a consummate professional. I highly recommend them to anyone buying or selling in Southern California!

Anthony is incredibly proactive -- he often gets us into homes before they even hit the market, which made all the difference in finding the right property.

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!
