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.

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.

If it just so happened Erin was not available, she assigned someone from her team to cover in her absence.

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 had our house on the market for several months with a different realtor. It was not a good experience. After many months of frustrations, I contacted Neda. She came to our house PREPARED and had done her due diligence on our property prior to our meeting. We walked thru the house and then sat down and reviewed what she picked out "to do" to bring top dollar. She immediately noted lighting need some upgrades. She noted we should paint the exterior a different color. She noted a couple of rooms needed painted. She noted several other items. Mind you this is a custom built 4200 sqft home in an awesome neighborhood. Anyway, we followed her check list and worked with a couple of her contractors to do all the recommended items. We didn't even list the house and she sold it in three days for a very good price! I am not sure why anyone in the North County/Encinitas/Del Mar, Solana Beach etc... area would use anyone other than Neda and her team. They quite simply are THE BEST realtors in the area! I think she could write a book and teach so many other realtors, the proper way to sell homes. Thank you Neda!!

Their pest control. Technician had informed them that if a treatment was to be done on six, it should be done on all the surrounding units, including mine, and prior to doing business with Payne pest control during the bid for Clark street property they were informed of what would need to be done to get rid of this pest infestation which meant getting the property tented mind you this was before I had moved in I was old told that Bryan and Samantha had just gone with the cheapest option which they also knew would not take care of this issue. A couple months into moving in I had informed them of the pest issue and needing treatment in which they responded by sending an inspection out rather than a treatment which only allowed the infestation to move and grow worse in my unit. By the time any treatment had been done all of my property, my kitchen appliances. Everything was infested, no matter how much we cleaned how much we threw out they constantly kept coming through the same places that the water would come through for the flooding pictures emails of it all during confronting them on their negligence they choose to divert from laws and ordinance codes that I present to them that they're violating in which I've had to move units because of this issue and the infestation has spread to my appliances I was no longer able to move anything from my old unit (5) into my new unit (4) I had to buy completely new furniture and knew everything but the same old infested appliances from number (5) had to come with me I am not the only tenant who I have witnesses and current tenants that are willing to testify against this as well as it being an issue long-standing before I had even moved in, not only have I had to personally take losses from their negligence, but Bryan has also been calling other tenants making them uncomfortable with personal questions about me and he is also insinuated nefarious things about me to other tenants he has also told new tenants moving in he has told them that I am the cause to their generational old roach infestation problem. if there was an option for zero stars, I would select that Bryan and Sam and the entire company are a bunch of slumlords looking to steal your money. These people should be disgusted by their negligent practices from pest infestation to defective appliances to a hostile landlord. these people should be ashamed of themselves and the business they represent, I've been staying in one of their units for a couple years now I and have lost thousands of dollars in property damages due to their negligence of the maintenance and upkeep of the property man their maintenance man "Jeff" is literally the worst contractor I've ever seen do work the work this man does in their units and properties has a lifespan of 3 to 6 months and when that happens, Bryan and Sam like to point the finger at the tenants a complete scam
