Found Zandra through a trusted friend after losing my mom & given the responsibility of navigating…read moreher affairs through probate. I initially hired a family friend who I thought I could trust with my Mom's property. She ended up trying to sell the house to her son for $250k less than what Zandra closed on. Zandra simply understood the assignment and over delivered. Her balance of warmth and competency created a high degree of trust. There were a couple bumps along the road but from beginning to end, I truly felt that Zandra had everything locked and loaded and would go to bat for me! This could have been a deeply painful and stressful process and really helped take a massive headache off my hands. Zandra receives my highest recommendation and is what I believe to be the best in the business. Just save yourself the time and headache and work with her. You won't regret it!

This review is for Robert Lopez, who (unfortunately for them) worked for TeamZ Realty during the…read moretransaction. It's my understanding he is no longer with TeamZ. Zandra did reach out when she was notified via my previous 2024 review--sharing my concerns& she did try to help. The issues have still not been resolved/ addressed, so sharing our experience. We Bought a Single Family home in 2024. Robert represented the seller in the home we purchased in San Diego& he did the showing for this home for us. Within 6 months after closing, multiple things were broken that were replaced/remodeled--including side gaps forming on the NEW hardwood floors. We paid WELL OVER selling price because of the new home upgrades done before selling. I reached out to Robert & Robert said he had nothing to do with the owner wanting to upgrade before selling. I got ahold of the seller using closing paperwork and he stated that Robert's people did the work& Robert oversaw ALL home upgrades, including the flooring. The workers haven't responded to seller or us, to fix them & we're left with floors that are cracked throughout the house & found several 1/2 done cheap fixes, things not sealed or installed properly--over the next year. Be careful going with Robert Lopez for any "upgraded" homes.

Spacious and well maintained apartments, wonderful swimming pool and the onsite maintenance and management is excellent! Props to Jacque Mierop for always being available and attentive if any maintenance requests were needed and for communicating so effectively.

I highly recommend these apartments if you are looking for a place to live in the La Mesa area.

The property manager Jacque is so sweet and has been so helpful our entire stay! We have always felt right at home! The apartments are spacious, the property is well maintained and the pool and spa are an added bonus!! It's conveniently located close to a costco and many different food spots. As well as being only a short drive to the freeway for easy access to all of San Diego! These apartments are seriously a 10/10!

The first time I met the agent, I told him that I wasn't working with any other agent and that he…read morewould be my agent. He followed up with me for several days, and I started working with his broker. Unfortunately, his broker was not very professional. I had already put down $300,000 and owned another home that was fully paid off and worth about $550,000. Yet the broker told me I needed to put down $600,000 to buy a home priced at $850,000 . After that, I went to another broker and got pre-approved almost immediately. I qualified for the home without any problems. All I can say is that they were not very professional. In my opinion, Simon seemed focused only on money. I felt that he was trying to earn commissions from both sides. When I decided not to use his broker, my offer was not accepted, and I was told that another offer had been accepted instead. That was my experience, and it left me feeling that my interests were not the priority.

Giving five stars and a glowing review is simply not enough to express how happy we were to work…read morewith The GreenHouse team. As first time home buyers, we had no idea where to start. We were also out of state which made everything that much more difficult. I'm a big Yelp user and relied on the hundreds of other 5-star reviews to look for a real estate company. I was so impressed with Craig and Jesse from the start. The initial call was SO organized, thorough, and personal. Not only did they give us a incredibly detailed step-by-step guide of the buyer's process, but also spent the time to learn more about us as people and what we were looking for in a home. I was surprised my how much time and energy was invested before even signing any contracts with them. After meeting with a few different teams, we chose the GreenHouse Group and 100% stand by our decision! Communication was consistently strong and we were always in contact with someone/the entire team along the way. We worked with Lori & Alexa who also helped us navigate documents and important deadlines. The GreenHouse Group has a well-designed platform to track the home buying process--making it easy to see deadlines and to-dos. We worked with Craig for our Kick-Off Tour. The GHG evaluation system for homes captured everything important to consider when purchasing a home and we learned so much about what to look for when checking out a home. Craig was straight-up, incredibly knowledgable, and clearly looking out for our best interest. He took us to see quite a number of homes that day and even had snacks and waters to keep us going! Unexpectedly, and uncommonly, we found a home from that weekend's trip we wanted to put an offer on. Craig jumped right in and guided us through the 'make-an-offer' process. He worked incredibly hard to negotiate on our behalf and was able to coordinate inspections and video walk-throughs for us when we couldn't be physically present. We were always promptly and transparently well-informed and advised. We never felt pressured or persuaded to make any decisions. Craig and the GHG team presented the facts and gave recommendations based on 20+ years of company experience--always looking out for our best interest. They were 'real' and weren't out to "sell us" on anything. Even during the rent-back process, the team coordinated with the other realtor to work with the sellers on transitions and key dates. It was super fun when Jesse and Lori were already at the house when we arrived to pick up our keys--what a thoughtful surprise! To top it off, they came with a whole container of new home goodies and essentials for us to use while we settled in (and even had some for our dog!) The care box was super useful, especially when we didn't have any of our kitchen items yet! Even after the sale and getting our keys, the GHG team is still there to answer your questions and help you out--including a list of recommended contractors and other services you might need when moving into a new home. I'm sure I am forgetting something here, but needless to say, we 10/10 recommend the GreenHouse Group to anyone looking to buy (or sell!) a home. We have no regrets and could not have asked for a better team. Thank you GHG!

Selling a home is stressful (especially for someone like me!) but Lori and Jesse made the whole…read moreprocess feel surprisingly easy. They were always available to answer questions, kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I knew what to expect throughout the process. Their advice on pricing and negotiations was spot on, and everything moved smoothly from getting my house ready to list all the way through closing. I also want to give a shoutout to their TC, Alexa. She kept everything organized behind the scenes, was always responsive and helpful, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. I have no doubt that her attention to detail played a big part in helping us close on time. Thank you to Lori, Alexa and Jesse in making this process feel smooth and manageable! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive team to help sell your home, this is your team!

We were the sellers and the buyer picked Alliance as the escrow company based on a recommendation she had received. In the end, we could not have been happier with the service provided by Alliance and especially Alysia.

We are so lucky to have met Joe by chance when we decided to drop by an open house on a whim. As a…read morefirst time home buyer, we had no clue on the process or steps needed. We decided to sit down with him for an "interview" and were blown away by what Joe and his team had to offer; they simplified the process and made it stress/pressure free. He referred us to an amazing lender, Jeremy, and went out of his way to accommodate our busy schedules for showings. He was basically available 24/7 and squeezed in same day showings for us. Joe was a major asset in our home buying process and made everything easy! He was proactive and hands-on with writing up offers in a time sensitive manner. Joe was also patient with answering all of our questions and made the experience enjoyable! To our surprise, he was able to help us secure a seller credit at the end of escrow. As we settle into our first home, Joe continues to be a valuable resource and we feel that we have found a realtor for life! We would refer him to friends and family without hesitation. Thank you, Joe, for going through the ups and downs of our first home purchase with us. We are so grateful!

Joe went above and beyond for us on a recent home purchase…read more After a year of passively watching real estate on mount helix, our dream home popped up, and as you can imagine it was a competitive process. Joe fought to make sure our offer stood out, and when you have multiple offers, it can be totally nerve wracking to wait and see if yours was picked. His confidence was contagious and I felt like with his hand holding and advocacy, we truly manifested this dream home to become ours. He helped us put together the most competitive offer, and really stood by us for the duration of escrow once our offer was accepted. Lots of hurdles came up, and every step of the way Joe was texting us ready to help us find solutions. If it weren't for his lightning response times and diligent efforts across the board, a lot of things could have gone south. We are so grateful for the partnership that landed us our forever home. Believe the reviews, and look no further, Joe and his entire team are true professionals.

I contacted Gregg Phillipson for a showing of a home for sale. That went well, so I made an offer,…read morewhich was accepted. Then the fun part began: the home inspection. There were several findings and Gregg used his pool of professionals to come up with reasonable dollar amounts to request from the seller as compensation for needed repairs. With this thorough documentation in hand, the seller agreed to every penny. I then retained Gregg's services for the sale of my old home. With an acceptable offer quickly received, I swapped roles as my buyers submitted a dollar amount request for compensation based on the results of their inspection of my home. Skeptic that I am, I half expected Gregg to just say, "Remember how it went down when you bought? Just pay them what they're asking and be done with it." But no. As we talked, he keyed on my comment that I had employed the same roofing company throughout my years of ownership and he suggested that I have that roofer inspect my home and provide a repair estimate that might well be lower than what the buyers' inspector quoted. Sure enough, that turned out to be the case, allowing me to counter the buyers' request with supporting documentation in hand, saving me money when they agreed. I'm always a little leery when I hear boasts such as "#1 agent in East County," which is what Gregg's signs read. But you get something with Gregg that you don't get with the mega-agencies that advertise all over radio. When you call Gregg, you get Gregg. Evenings, weekends, whenever (though I never tried 3 a.m.). He's quick to respond, even if he doesn't have an answer right then & there. It will come soon. Yes, he has a team that works for him and I had interactions with all of them, but if I ever wanted to speak to the big guy, I could. And service continues even after he's been paid. For example, when Kamps Propane was gullibly convinced by the former owners (or their agent) to bill me for the gas remaining in their tanks at the time of the sale (even though our sales contract explicitly stated otherwise), I contacted Gregg. He wrote out and hand-delivered a check to me that same day to cover the charge, saying he'd work it out with the sellers and their agent later. When I had a question about the effects of the recently passed Prop 19 on my new property tax bill that Gregg couldn't answer, he arranged a free phone consultation for me with his CPA, who was able to explain the new law to me.

There's a reason he's recognized as one of the top real estate professionals in San Diego County…read more Best of the Best. Almost 20 years in real estate and I'd heard the name Gregg Phillipson, hadn't met the man. Then over two years ago, I was hired as Broker of his office. We met and I was startled as to how "real" this man was, just a guy. Words to describe Gregg: Honest, Unpretentious, Straightforward, Caring, and Professional. Easy to talk with. We've had numerous conversations over the past couple of years and I began to look back on our talks to answer this question, "What makes a Great REALTOR®?" What separates the Best from all of the rest? Three things: (1.) They are great Communicators. (2.) They fully understand the Contracts, which allows them to out negotiate the uneducated. (3.) They genuinely Care about their Clients. Gregg has these three qualities in abundance. I call them the three C's of success, and began teaching it in my classes, using Gregg as an example. He's one of a kind, and I am proud to have him in our office and in our profession. Thinking about selling, buying, or investing in real estate? You deserve the Best, do yourself a favor and give Gregg a call - you'll be happy you did.

We were out of state during the sale, and Liz truly took care of everything. She is really proactive, which saves her clients time by anticipating issues before they cause problems. Her communication is exceptional! She was always reachable and never left us wondering what's happening. That constant contact made the entire process smooth and far less stressful. The home makeover was amazing and made our home stand out online. Combined with the photography and video (easily the best media we've seen from any agent) it showed off our home beautifully. Liz also worked incredibly hard and used creative marketing strategies to make sure our home got the attention it deserved. She's patient, smart, efficient, and truly listens to her clients. We have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so without hesitation.
