Having our own place in the Southern California area seemed like a pipe dream. My wife and I were exploring moving out of state or up north because we thought we were going to get out priced here when we looked at things on Zillow or Redfin. Our goal was to stay in the San Diego area. However, with a child on the way, we knew we had to do what was ultimately best for the newborn so we were open to all options.
What seemed like divine intervention at the time, Madison Reid reached out for a meet and greet to get a feel for what we were hoping for. We met and put it all out on the table; We really wanted to stay in the San Diego area but not want to be house broke from it. We explained to her we have a baby on the way so she understood where we were coming from.
Madison then set up a day with us to look at places. She knew exactly what we needed and miraculously found properties within our budget. After shopping around, there was one clear place in our eyes that felt right; my wife and I knew it was the perfect match for our needs. It has a little patio for the dogs, a balcony, a room for the baby, and a private community pool. We put in our offer and with a few back and fourths working closely with Madison, it was accepted!
If you couldn't tell by now from reading this, my wife and I were first time home buyers. We didn't know the process of it. Thankfully we had Madison there to guide us along the way. Her communication with and knowledge was nothing short of excellent and professional. She clarified things my wife and I didn't understand and ensured we stayed on schedule with deadlines and paperwork to have a quick and streamlined escrow process. I even had a little issue picking up the keys a certain day because I had made certain plans months in advance; I had no clue at the time of making those plans that we would be buying our own place, let alone so quickly.
I genuinely can't express enough about how great our experience was. Not even a week had gone by between meeting Madison, looking at places, and getting our offer accepted (seriously, we met on a Thursday, saw places on a Sunday, and had our offer accepted on Wednesday). Thank you Madison and the rest of the True Local Reality Group for the amazing and easy experience. I will be coming back to Madison in the future if I even want to sell my place and look for new property! read more
