If you are looking for an attentive team that is so on it, knowledgable, kind and also FUN- this is the one! Thank you to Caitlin and Seth for everything that you do! You guys are truly the best in the business! read more

My husband and I have known Seth for years, and this was our second time buying a property with his team. We were fortunate to work not only with Seth, but also with his fantastic colleague, Caitlin. Both were incredibly professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. They guided us through the purchase of our first investment property with confidence and care--even when the negotiation process got tricky, we always felt we were in the best possible hands. When the time comes to buy our forever home, there's no one else we would trust to lead us through it. read more

My husband and I can't say enough good things about Seth & Caitlin as our real estate agents - they're not only professional, reliable, honest and knowledgeable about the San Diego market, but they made buying a home fun! They listened to our needs and what we were looking for...they both went above and beyond to help us make the best decisions. We are so grateful to them for the hard work to help us find our dream home. We are endlessly grateful to Seth & Caitlin as our agents and couldn't be happier with the way everything worked out. We will highly recommend them to friends & family that are looking to sell or buy a home in the area. They are the BEST! read more

My wife and I worked with Caitlin & Seth to find our first home and had a fantastic experience with them! They were knowledgeable and very patient with us throughout the whole process, listening well and understanding our needs. We were never pressured to submit an offer or make any decisions before we were ready, which was a big deal for us. Their expertise helped us get the perfect starter home in the extremely competitive San Diego market, would highly recommend! read more

I cannot recommend Seth and his team enough!!!!! As a first time home buyer and a busy working single mother, I was hesitant even considering the home buying process. Seth and Caitlin made every step of the way not only easy but fun! Any challenge we encountered they navigated with positivity and skill. They were incredibly accessible and encouraging and went above and beyond in every way!!! Caitlin even helped me select the curtains for my living room and Seth helped me envision renovations. I'm now moved in, a proud home owner and I truly feel like I'm living my dream with my daughter! I am so grateful to Seth and Caitlin and highly recommend working with his extraordinary team!!!! read more

We used Seth & the O'Bryne team to sell a property last year and they completely knocked it out of the park! After that experience, my husband and I decided we would only use Seth O'Byrne going forward. So, when it was time to sell a rental property in San Marcos, Seth was the only realtor we called. Seth's entire team provided white glove service from beginning to end. Caitlin and Amanda helped prepare the property and coordinated with a handyman, staging company and painter. Once the listing went live the property looked amazing! True to form, Seth had secured an offer in less than a week's time of being on the market. We were absolutely thrilled! After securing an offer, Alina stepped in to help with the paperwork. Her organized and professional approach is the icing on the cake for this great team! read more

We recently retained Seth O'Byrne to represent us with selling our home in Escondido California and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Through every step of the process Seth and his team were highly professional and kept us informed of the status with regular updates. With Seth's experience and high regard in the real community he was able to produce multiple offers within the first week on the market, which after Seth's careful vetting, we were able to accept an offer at full asking price. I was delighted with the overall experience with Seth and his team and I would highly recommend selecting him for any real estate transaction!!! read more

Seth O'Byrne - Compass - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Diego, California

Seth and his team are phenomenal! I used them to sell two separate investment properties over the last year and they did an incredible job and were an absolute pleasure to work with. I will definitely be using them for all my real estate needs going forward. Early on, before I had made a decision to sell, they took the time to provide great guidance on the market conditions and timing considerations, navigating selling during the COVID pandemic, and dealing with a tricky tenant. Once I had made the decision to sell, they made the entire process super easy and seamless. For each property, once they viewed it (which they coordinated with the tenants), we discussed what repairs made sense and then they coordinated with the painters, handyman, and stagers they have on call to get it all taken care of quickly and effortlessly. All I had to do was approve and write checks :) In each case, once the property was prepped for sale, they put their marketing muscle to work producing beautiful photos, cool videos, and promoting the properties to their large social media followings. Once offers came in, we discussed each one as a team, made collective decisions on how to proceed, and then they expertly negotiated with the potential buyers. Finally, a dedicated transaction coordinator helped ensure a smooth escrow. I know I sold during a hot market, but I have no doubt that Seth and his team's expert guidance, execution, and marketing helped get me the absolute best result possible. Seth and his team go above and beyond. I'd highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Caitlin and Seth were so wonderful! We just purchased our first home so were new to the whole process. Caitlin and Seth were so patient in talking us through each step of the way. We didn't have a huge budget (in San Diego terms!), but they never made us feel any less important. Caitlin was responsive, diligent, and simply a joy to work with. She kept us updated, and advocated for us. Hopefully we won't move again for a while, but when we do, we'll be calling Caitlin and Seth. read more

We contacted Seth and his team to list our home in Poway. He immediately responded and met with us. He gave us his expert opinion on when, how and for how much to list our house. But he also listened to us about what we thought the house was worth so he made sure to highlight the special features our home had that most realtors miss and agreed to our list price. His team jumped on the listing, getting an outstanding photo session with awesome pics and descriptions in the sales brochure. We immediately had showings. Seth's team was also extremely respectful of our conditions to have adequate notice before a showing. Seth followed up with other agents to get feedback after each showing. Because we had a higher priced home we did not get offers immediately, as expected, but we had many showings. However, we didn't have to wait too long as we ultimately received offers within a month. Once we had a good offer and were in negotiations Seth was extremely available to communicate the back and forth. Our sale was not exactly smooth as the buyers were one of those that like to "play games" and try to work more discounts, etc., and there was a very contentious period after the inspection. But Seth and his team were on our side and when it seemed the deal might fall apart, as we were firm on our position, with Seth's full support, Seth worked out a deal with the buyers agent to get escrow closed on time and with all parties being satisfied. So we give the Seth O'Byrne Team the highest marks for any real estate agent you may need. He and his team can not only buy/sell any house for their clients, but from our experience he and his team can closed the most complex and difficult transactions with ease. TOP NOTCH!!!!! read more

I first contacted Seth in 2008 when I wanted to buy my first home. I wanted a Bay view downtown in a midrise building. After about 6 months of looking at every building downtown, he found a condo on foreclosure that had a Bay view. I wrote an offer, and it was accepted! I loved watching Little Italy grow up during that time. It was the perfect home for me. When it came time to sell my home last year, I was living abroad and initially reached out to another realtor who had marketed heavily to me while I lived in the building. His firm promised an easy process; they had lots of clients who lived outside of San Diego. Unfortunately, the process with them was anything but easy. After having my condo fall out of escrow multiple times for reasons that could have been avoided, I called Seth again. He took my call while he was traveling on vacation and set up his team to get working on my condo sale right away. We had a couple hiccups, but each step of the way, Seth and his team hustled to find solutions. He and his mortgage partner Scott helped with both the purchase and sale of my condo - a place that I absolutely loved living. I am very grateful for their help! Seth is an incredibly hard worker who loves what he does and values his relationships. I highly recommend him and his team! Thanks again, Seth! read more

Recently had an amazing experience with the O'Byrne team. They really helped me through the whole process of selling my condo. We had a few issues pop up and they stayed in contact with me the whole time and pretty much held my hand during the process of what could have otherwise been a bit overwhelming. I particularly liked how i would get weekly updates as to the status of showings and offers. I honestly feel i received 15k more because these guys sold unit with such a flair. Also please take their advice and stage your home. It's is well worth it read more

Seth's team was so wonderful in helping us sell our home!!! Our home needed small, minor repairs, and Seth had an awesome team of repair guys that were at the ready. We got the house on the market right away, and received multiple offers in 2 days. I'm not going to lie- Seth and his team are a good looking group of people with impeccable class and manners. I liked that they were the FACE of my house and it made my home feel glamorous, and I like to think helped sell it at a premium. They are the most highly-rated team in San Diego, and you will feel the difference as soon as you make first contact with them! read more

Caitlin was super helpful every step of the way. She juggled so many little details and different people for me, which was at times complicated because of new pandemic guidelines. She was always responsive to my neurotic first time homebuyer questions. I absolutely recommend working with her! The entire O'Byrne Team had great customer service. I really enjoyed working with them! read more

Seth is the best in business and best in class! His attitude is professional, yet you feel like he has been a friend for decades. He is 100% genuine, which is refreshing. I would recommend Seth and his team to anyone looking to sell or buy--a 5 star experience from start to finish! read more

We were thrilled with Seth, Cait and the O'Byrne team. We were preparing for a move across the country and stressing about getting our first home (with all the blood,sweat, and tears we'd put in to it) sold. Seth, Cait and the rest of the O'Byrne team made it low stress and fun. Seth and Cait came to our home to discuss the process and it was like finding a long lost friend when we met them. They are super personable and easy to work with. We sold our home and would work with them again in a skinny minute if they could have come to Florida with us! 10/10 recommend! Also Seth has some pretty cool skateboard moves. read more

Seth O'Byrne - Compass - The home sold for us by the amazing O'Byrne team. - Real Estate Agents Near Me - San Diego, California

I wish words could convey how wonderful working with Seth is. We have both bought and sold homes with him and he is a truly special human being. He makes you feel confident in the most stressful decisions of your life. I always felt supported in any choice I made even if it wasn't the one he had recommended. I have also had the pleasure with working of many of the members his team and they are all just as amazing. Thank you O'Byrne team for everything you have done for us. Here's to many more deals in the future! read more

Yes, I can really say that working with Seth and his team is as good as it gets! And because I actually found him on Yelp in the first place, I feel like I need to pay back my good fortune to the Yelpiverse and share my story. Although I don't live in San Diego anymore, I did need to sell a home there and was overwhelmed at the thought of finding a broker. Many people think Yelp is for finding the best burrito or car detail shop.... but I thought I'd check for agents anyway. While not many agents are reviewed here, I was shocked to see that Seth had so many 5* reviews, which made me think that he and his team must be doing something right to garner such an enthusiastic following! So fast-forward to now...our sale just closed after being on the market for a only a week, and selling for a great price to wonderful buyers. It was an emotional sale, with some complex moving parts, but Seth and his team made it an easy, positive experience. He is professional, enthusiastic, and most importantly to me - authentic - and his passion for his job is apparent by the way he treats his clients and team. Attention to detail, responsiveness (even in the middle of his honeymoon!) and genuine caring is really inspiring. One unique capability is their marketing - very sophisticated and appropriate. I have had a long career in Marketing & Advertising and I am very impressed with both techniques and results. Seth, I can't thank you enough for all of the work on our behalf. You, Alina and Jodette are the best in the business!!! read more

We got referred to Seth and the O'Byrne Team, and we couldn't be happier with their performance! We originally had our home listed with another agent who couldn't get our home sold. We cancelled the listing and relisted with Seth, who got us multiple offers and got it sold over the original ask. He arranged so that we could stay and lease back our home for a month while finding us our new home as it sold so quickly we didn't have anywhere to go. Seth found us a brand new home in Law Street in Noth Pacific Beach. Great job guys, thank you for helping my family! I recommend Seth and his team to everyone in San Diego. read more

I'm very hesitant about giving out referrals. But, whenever San Diego home buyers and sellers ask me about a reliable San Diego realtor, I always give them the number of the #1 real estate agent - Stephanie Jezek of the Seth O'Byrne Team of Pacific Sotheby's International Realty. I've never met a realtor, who is more committed on giving white glove service to her customers. More than once, Stephanie of the Seth O'Byrne Team, was a total jewel in helping me avoid the complex and tiresome grunt work of a real estate transaction. Through the years, she's done such an outstanding job helping me find a great short sale purchase, listing and marketing my property, and doing my home sale at a top of the market price. Thanks Stephanie and Seth O'Byrne Team! You ROCK!!! read more

After a high school friend (who also works in real estate) referred us to Seth we decided to go with him to help us find our first home. Seth helped the transaction go smoothly and helped us find a perfect starter home that was VA friendly. After purchasing our first home, we knew that we would use him and his team when it came time to buy again. That time came a few months ago and we knew exactly who to call! Seth has made the process so much easier with his wealth of knowledge and understanding of the market. He has been honest, dependable and a real pleasure to work with. If we are in the market again, he already has my business. So if you are looking for a great realtor, look no further! Trust me, he's helped me buy 2 homes! read more

Seth is someone who truly cares about the client in a genuine way. No pressure, and he even created a customized property search that delivered potential options to us via email each day. I recommend him to any friends interested in buying property in SD - Seth's as genuine as they come...and that goes a long way in the real estate industry. read more

I was fortunate to choose Seth O'Byrne as my agent to both sell my home and purchase a condo downtown. I didn't realize at the time that when you hire Seth, you hire his whole team. Keke and Alina and Debbie did a wonderful job in making the transition (and paperwork!) smooth and painless. My home sold within a week at top square foot price. When I found the condo of my dreams, Keke acted on it that night and made it happen. Afterwards I found out I was one of 22 potential buyers with offers. Keke and Seth made sure I stood out to the buyer and had an edge over other offers. Besides going above and beyond my expectations, we were invited to many social events downtown through Seth. Living the dream! read more

Seth and his team provided a phenomenal service in addition to quickly selling my home for above a competitive asking price! I am thoroughly pleased! Seth worked with me as a partner in my decisions and offered his many years of experience and knowledge throughout the entire process. He had the answers and the professionals ready to make preparing my house for sale that was a breeze that carried me through the listing and escrow periods. I have known Seth through personal and professional circles for almost 10 years. He is a consistent and dedicated professional who is extremely passionate about real estate and is truly motivated by helping people. I highly recommend Team O'byrne for your real estate needs! read more

I was so lucky to be able to get the chance to work with Seth. He worked so hard at finding me something that fit my needs. After finally finding a place he then didn't stop working hard. I think once we found the place, he worked harder. Some nights he worked till after 10, so the seller had paperwork the very first thing in the morning. That is actually how we got the house I have now from someone else that put in a bid about the same time we did. So on top of working late, he was also their to answer all my questions. This was my first home, so I had a lot of questions. He was there no matter if it was day or night, weekday or weekend. So if you are looking for a realtor that loves his job and will work very hard for you, the Seth O'byrne is the realtor for you. I plan on giving his name to everyone I hear about that is looking to buy a house. Thank you again Seth for everything. read more

I have to send love to Debbie Keckeisen, who is an agent on Seth's team. I was the counter-agent on a transaction recently and I enjoyed speaking with and collaborating with Debbie on several issues that came up during the transaction. She is a problem solver and always held open and honest communications with me. Thank you Debbie!!! read more

Seth and his team helped me sell my house. I live in Florida now so it was all done over the phone. They're a great team to work with ... super easy and extremely responsive! Would use them again and would highly recommend! read more

We are a military family stationed overseas getting ready to be transferred to San Diego. Originally, we contacted a local realtor who was prior-military simply based on the fact that we had the military link in common. When we did not get the proactive service we desired, we immediately went to Yelp to try to find a suitable realtor who could help out with our unique situation of trying to secure a house from afar. Due to Seth's outstanding reviews, we decided to give him a call to see if he could do anything to help us. From our very first communication, Seth hit the ground running and put forth 110% in getting to know our needs and desires, linking us up with the available housing options that met those needs, connecting us with trusted individuals to get the financial ball rolling, and answering a bazillion questions along the way. Seth has extensive knowledge on San Diego and the ins and outs of each community. Many of his listings are 3-4 times the price range of our house, yet he gave us million-dollar service in every way! He is a wonderful listener, proactive representative, and will NOT stop until he gets you the house that perfectly fits your needs. He is trustworthy, full of integrity, and takes his job very seriously. In addition, he is a great resource for any extra services that you need from housing inspectors to contractors. We have used and been thrilled with every single recommendation that he offered us. He has been one-stop-shopping for us, which has been beneficial since we are so far away. Initially, we were quite afraid of trying to purchase a house from overseas. Due to Seth's expertise, professionalism, and personal care, we did not have a single moment of anxiety. He did everything he could do to make us feel connected - from sending videos and pictures, to staying in constant contact via phone and email (even on weekends). Our conversations were never cut short...he always made time for us and made us feel like we were the only customer he had. We knew that we were in good hands from day 1 and each individual interaction with him left us even more certain of that fact! After we closed, Seth continued to offer wonderful customer service by helping us get our contractor into the house for renovations, tracking down paint colors and other information that we needed from the seller, and offering to help in any other way that he possibly could. It is obvious that Seth is interested in establishing long-term relationships with his clients....not just for the sale! We are thrilled with the fact that we can complete our transition to San Diego and move directly into our house as soon as our furniture arrives with very little stress! The whole transaction went MUCH smoother than we ever thought it could thanks to Seth. Now we are counting down the days until we can see our house and can't wait to give Seth a big thank you hug in person! **5/6/13: Updated to add: We have now arrived in San Diego and been to see our house in person. It was EVERYTHING that Seth said and more. We are completely happy with our house and all of Seth's services! read more

There is only one way I can describe Seth: Exceeds expectations. I have been extremely impressed with how dedicated, committed, and knowledgable Seth has been with helping me find the perfect house. He always shows up with a big smile on his face and full of knowledge and willingness to help. He is very easy to get ahold of and his lightning fast response time made him a dream to work with. His assistant Alina is also incredibly sweet, helpful, and always willing to answer a question. If you are looking for the best agent in San Diego, Seth is your guy. read more

When my husband and I were in the market to buy our first home in San Diego, we asked around for referrals. It was recommended we call Seth, so we made an appointment to see him. From the moment we met him, we knew he was a good fit for us as our realtor. Seth was very friendly and worked around our busy schedule to show us homes no matter what time or day of the week. Once we found a home, Seth made the buying process very easy for us. He always responded to our calls, emails, and texts in a timely manner. The rest of his team members were super nice and also helped us with anything we needed. When the time came that we wanted to sell our house and upgrade, we knew Seth would be able to help us out. And once again, him and his team worked their magic and sold our home in no time. Not only did we gain a trusted realtor, we also gained a good friend! read more

I have had the pleasure of attending Seth's quarterly Troop Real Estate Networking events. These events are always very nice venues where lots of business people in San Diego can come hang out, eat, drink, and network. I have been a guest at several of his events, and I have had the pleasure of catering some of his events as well, which has truly been great for networking. Seth is a hard working, honest guy, who goes out of the way for people he knows and does business with. I highly recommend Seth for any of your realty needs. Seth will be the first person I call when I start looking for a house because I know he will not only get the job done, but he will exceed any other realtors ambition in doing so. read more

I don't have enough nice words to say about the O'Byrne team. This was our first house buying experience and they made it stress free. Everyone was professional and acted quickly. There were no issues meeting quick deadlines and keeping us informed at every step of the process. Caitlins was amazing. She answered every silly question we had and always made us feel like a priority. The entire process was wonderful and exciting. Thank you so much!! I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a house! read more

Being that I am a first time home buyer I had lots of questions and concerns. Unlike most real estate agents who are just trying to make a 'dolla' off of you. Seth actually took lots of personal time to help me understand - pricing, housing market, loans, credits basically everything in the book for a 'noob'. Seth has an outstanding track record of getting back to you the moment of. I feel he gets just as emotionally involved as me, the buyer. I couldn't recommend a better agent that now i can call a friend. If your looking for someone who cares about your needs, responsive, agile, and not a straight up real estate 'D-bag'.....he's the best in san diego. Hands down. read more

You will not find any other realtor in San Diego that will be more dedicated, helpful and genuinely friendly! My wife bought her first condo with Seth, then we bought an investment property with him and soon we will be getting house with him. He has always been there for us to answer questions and to give us advice, I recommend Seth to all my friends and family! read more

We relocated to San Diego in 2017 and were in need of a Real Estate agent. We read good reviews for the O'Byrne Team and quickly made the call. We were very lucky to work with Mia Tidwell from the team. Our home buying experience with Mia was an absolute pleasure. The O'Byrne team facilitated the transaction seamlessly. We would highly recommend this team for any real estate transaction. read more

Seth is awesome. He is very easy to talk to and always available to help answer any questions. Buying a home is an important decision and Seth is an expert in San Diego real estate. Him and his team work hard and are always available to help. They genuinely care for your best interests. I would highly recommend Seth. read more

My husband and I started working with Seth after 8 months of looking for our first home with another agent. Right off the bat, Seth helped us to feel comfortable with the transition and confident in his staff to find us a property we would love. Within a little over a month we were in escrow on our first house - a property we are just thrilled to be moving into! Throughout the process, Seth and his team were responsive, patient and most of all, aggressive. In order to get into a property you love and negotiate the best case scenario for you as buyers, you need an agent like Seth to know the market, to know the players in the San Diego real estate industry, and to be an advocate for you. Seth and his team have been all of those things for us throughout this process. If you're in the market to buy real estate in San Diego, Seth is your guy. Hands down! read more

I really can't say enough about Seth and his team. They all worked with us, and held our hands through the process, only to have us realize that we were going to buy outside of San Diego. Seth even recommended another agent in the area (Temecula) that we began our search, admitting that he wouldn't be an asset to us waaaay up in Riverside County. We felt awful to start looking in a different area, after all of the time Seth spent with us... but, we are in escrow on a home in Temecula now, and he still called to congratulate us. What a great guy, and business man. When all is said and done, Seth (and everyone he put us in contact with through this process) have been better than we could have asked for. He was honest, and a friend to us. I will send any friend or family member in need of an AMAZING San Diego agent, his way. If only I had a sitter tonight, I'd be sharing cocktails with him and his awesome partner, Javin, downtown for their customer appreciation night! Thank you to the O'Byrne Team!! read more

As a real estate professional myself, it takes a lot to impress me. When I had to move quickly, I knew I had to call Seth. I did not know him personally at the time, but he came recomended by several people I knew. His team has a solid marketing plan, gets the job done, but most importantly, I trust him. Seth is definately at the head of the class for his generation of real estate agents. We still keep in touch to this day, and Iwould highly recomend him. I hope to use him again one day soon for some more property in San Diego! Wes Jones Managing Broker www.HhcWa.com read more

Seth is an amazing agent and I'm not just saying that. We sold a condo and had to turn around and buy a new one in a very short timeframe in what was looking to be an impossible market (there was little to no inventory available in San Diego). Even talking to the loan agent while working on pre-approval he told us horror story after horror story about how people were not able to buy anything. Seth had a bunch of listings for us to look at even in an impossible market and was amazing about working around our schedules and tolerating a buyer where half of the buying party was on the East Coast. There was one place that was our top pick... a shortsale that was an amazing steal in downtown San Diego. We thought oh we will probably be outbid but lets put in an offer... Now Seth is a professional and would never take the credit... but honestly the only reason our offer was even entertained was because he knew all the agents involved and worked some serious magic. Not only did they accept our offer but there were all cash offers on the table and they still picked us. We closed today but really we would still be out there looking for places instead of moving in if it werent for Seth and his team. If you are looking around for an agent that can find you what you want and really work in your best interest... and can make your offer count Seth and his team are the group you want representing you. read more
