We had no idea what to expect aside from what parents/friends had told us, and Michael was ready to answer every. single. question. we had day or night. He got us viewings within hours of requesting them, and he was always willing to go the extra mile. In fact, we had an untraditional financial situation, and rather than letting it be a hinderance to our search, Michael turned it into our greatest strength when it came to putting in offers.

Overall, we would recommend Michael to anyone searching for their next property. Thanks Michael!

We really enjoyed working with David while searching for a second home in Carlsbad. He spent…read moreseveral hours with my son and me looking at homes, and then did the same with my husband and me. Since we live in Arizona, he also previewed a home for us and kept our search moving forward from a distance. David is knowledgeable about the local market, responsive, and easy to work with. We never felt pressured and always appreciated his honest advice and insights. Although we've decided to put our search on hold for now, we'll definitely contact David when we're ready to continue. We highly recommend him to anyone in need of a professional and experienced realtor.

He was professional and polite and kept on top of everything that needed to be done for his clients to meet all the deadlines.

Joe is an expert at his craft and an excellent person to work with!…read more I am a first-time homebuyer - Joe gave me his true opinion on places to avoid and go-after with legitimate reasons for both. I cannot even count the number of times Joe worked outside of normal business hours, including weekends, to provide support and insight. Joe's help extends beyond the role of a traditional real estate agent. He is deeply ingrained in the Oceanside community so he knows every inspector/service rep needed - who were also all fantastic to work with. This sounds cliche but it is the truth. If you work with Joe, you will have an advocate who provides a VIP-experience. There's no better way to describe my experience. Thank you Joe!

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.

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.
