They were able to find us our perfect first home! There were a few hiccups (at no fault on the side of ADH) but our agents Christy and Meagan were so helpful as to what we should do next and how we should proceed when things didn't go our way with a not so professional listing agent with the first house we wanted. They were also more than willing to travel farther than normal to find us a house that was both affordable and had everything we wanted! We had to move in quite quickly and were very accommodating to our schedule. Overall we were so happy with our experience and I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking to buy in the San Diego area!

I cannot say enough good things about Meagan; from being 100% honest, sincere, and a hard charger, she was able to get my house sold in a timely fashion. I appreciated how she never kept any secrets from me and was always able to be reached for any questions I may have had. I truly felt at the end of everything, I was not only working with a "realtor," but a friend. Meagan truly cared about my feelings and thoughts during the entire selling process and I had absolute trust in her. I couldn't be more thankful to those who recommended her to me. I will with absolute certainty use her and American Dream homes in the future for my next home!!!!

We found J& J Realty and Janet Thorton. From the very beginning, Janet was very professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable of the area we had interest. She took the time to understand our needs and provided invaluable insights that helped us make the right decision. Her negotiation skills, attention to detail, and dedication to client satisfaction truly set her apart. I know how important it is to have an experienced Realtor to represent you and I highly recommend Janet for your home-buying or selling needs. She made our transition smooth and stress-free.

Tamara Krause helped my husband and I purchase our first home this year and I would highly…read morerecommend her to anyone looking for a professional Real Estate Agent. I hate to admit, but I am not the easiest person to work with since I am a little obsessive compulsive and intense about getting answers quickly and accurately -sometimes at the most inconvenient times (i.e. weekends, evenings, and dinner time). Tamara always got back to me quickly and eased our first time homebuyer fears. Tamara guided us through the process and let us know what to expect during all the phases. What I loved about her the most was that she always had our best interests in mind. Whenever I got distracted by the pretty crown molding and granite counter tops that the 'flipper' had installed, she was pointing out foundation issues, potentially costly repairs, etc. Even after looking at at least 40 homes, she never once made us feel pressured to make an offer on something. I felt bad that we had looked at so many homes and after making several offers that we were outbid on still had nothing to show for it. She assured us that she would keep looking no matter how long it took... months or years... it didn't matter as long as we found the right home. Tamara is professional, courteous, patient, extremely competent, and above all has the client's best interest in mind. I know that this is a business, but I never once felt that making money was her goal. Her goal was to match the right house with the right family.

Instead of opting to rent a larger place we decided to jump into the housing market while prices and interest rates were relatively low. Complete newbs, we had no idea what we were doing beyond pointing at things on Zillow and saying "I like dat wan, and dis wan...." Enter the lovely Tamara Krause. If you need someone that is patient, informative, and sweet as pie, Tamara is the perfect fit. I must have dragged her out to a few hundred listings during rush hour traffic, just to dislike them all, and she didn't even bat an eye. Just when I was about ready to throw in the towel because nothing I found seemed to fit our criteria, she sends us a random listing for a cute, lovely craftsman cottage that had "Larah's perfect dream house" written all over it. At first I thought there could be no way we could afford a detached house, but she said "Silly girl, when you don't pay for HOA fees, you can just apply that to your mortgage...." Man, I'm an idiot... So as it turns out, Tamara knew what we wanted more than we did. I suspect throughout all those seemingly wasted listing viewings she was secretly crafting all our likes and dislikes to come up with the most perfect solution in the end. Well played, Tamara. Well played. Ps. We LOVE our house!! Both literally and figuratively. Wait, what?

She was very attentive to all of our questions and explained the process very well, she works extremely hard and won't push you to buy a house that you don't feel like. Her experience played a key factor to get our offer accepted, she allowed us to craft a competitive offer without pushing us out of our comfort zone, to put things in perspective the house we wanted got 50 offers. Stephanie will go above and beyond to help you through the process and make you feel comfortable, she definitely looks out for you during and after, she helped schedule electrical repairs and termite control, she gave us advice and options for our repairs without compromising quality. Stephanie is friendly, warm, smart and resourceful, I highly recommend her especially if you are first time home buyer.

As a first time home buyer, newer to San Diego, and someone who was referred to Stephanie by another person after spotting a great home I loved, I could not have imagined a smoother process. Because of Stephanie, we submitted an offer the day after I saw the house and our offer was selected out of many other potential buyers' offers. Stephanie's knowledge of the market was impressive, and she took the time to clearly explain each step, ensuring I understood my options and felt comfortable with every decision. She was always open to questions, even in the later evening hours, which were often the only hours I was available. Her experience truly showed in how smoothly everything progressed. One of the most valuable aspects of working with Stephanie was her network of trusted specialists and inspectors. Every referral she provided was reliable, knowledgeable, and efficient, which made a potentially stressful process much easier to manage. I was very impressed by her network of experienced companies in the region. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for someone who is not only experienced and well-connected, but also genuinely committed to her clients' best interests. You will not only end up with a great agent, but a great friend.
