The Solis Team is hands-down the best realty group out there! Mike and Jessica are very sweet, responsive, and knowledgeable, and they lead an amazing team that strives to make a positive impact on the community! I love that they organize local events, like beach clean ups, Halloween haunted houses, and more!
With regards to real estate, the Solis Team made our home buying process incredibly smooth and successful. They work with amazing partners (lenders, inspectors, contractors) who I believe are the best in their fields. Mike and Jessica also celebrated our accepted offer, our "key day," and even the holidays with thoughtful cards, yummy treats, champagne, and other house warming goodies. They went above and beyond to walk with us in our home buying experience and cheer us on every step of the way!
Solis Team agent Kalyn Grote is a rockstar realtor who will treat you like family! I was referred to Kalyn by a friend, and that was easily the best referral that I've ever gotten! She was super friendly, responsive, and on top of things from the get go. Within just the first week of reaching out to her, she scheduled and accompanied us on three home tours, and she helped us submit an offer! That first escrow ended up being a tricky one because the seller was exceptionally difficult, and she was represented by a brand new realtor who didn't quite have a handle on his responsibilities or the general process of selling his client's home. This meant that Kalyn ended up doing three jobs: her job as the buying agent, most of the other realtor's job as the selling agent, as well as proactively and reactively dealing with the other agent's mistakes. To make things even more complicated, the house was actively falling apart while we were in escrow. Thankfully, issues that the seller did not disclose ended up coming to light anyway. We had many extra inspections throughout that whole process, and Kalyn handled it all! She has amazing contractors and inspectors that she works with, and they all went above and beyond to do things quickly for us. We were just 6 days away from getting keys when my husband and I decided that the escrow was too crazy and that the home no longer felt right for us. I felt so bad that after all of the time, hard work, passion, blood, sweat, and tears that Kalyn put into that escrow for us, we decided to back out. But when we called her to let her know our decision, she was an incredibly supportive sounding board, and she validated all of our thoughts and concerns. She never pressured us to push forward. She made it so clear that we weren't just a commission to her. She genuinely wanted us to find our dream home and do what was best for our family. Without skipping a beat, she cancelled that escrow and set up another house tour for us. We ended up submitting an offer and were in escrow on a new home just 4 days after we cancelled on the previous house. That second escrow ended up being a quick two week escrow because Kalyn and her team had already laid so much groundwork for us as buyers. This time, everything went so smoothly that my husband and I didn't have to do much of anything. We closed on that home and couldn't be happier! This home is even better than what we could have hoped for, and we know that it will be our "forever home" where we will raise our family.
Through it all, Kalyn went from being a stranger to a friend. She walked with us through one of the craziest times of our adult lives, and she was our rock and encouragement every step of the way. When I thanked her for everything she had done for us, she responded by saying that when her clients put their trust in her, she takes it as a huge honor, and therefore views and treats them like she would her own family members. She works for her clients as if they were her own sister or brother or mother or father. And that work ethic shines through in everything she does! Never in my life have I had someone outside of family or close friends advocate for me the way that Kalyn did. I am humbled by the care and selfless commitment that she showed us. Words really can't express the depths of our appreciation for Kalyn! Anyone who chooses her as their realtor is guaranteed to be in the best hands! read more
