I had been contemplating selling a rental investment/second home property in Idaho and buying one…read morein California closer to where I lived in San Diego. Our family has lived in San Diego for over 50 years and I have made many trips with relatives or visitors up to the quaint mountain town of Julian and had always loved it. This spring some relatives came to town and we decided to take a trip to Julian. It was such a beautiful ride, leaving the hustle and bustle of a growing San Diego and driving up through the mountains for little over an hour with only two stop lights in San Diego and one stop sign in Julian sealed the deal for me. While we were walking through town I decided to stop in at the Julian Realty office. Tiffaney Bagalini, realtor and owner of Julian Realty was the only one in the office at that time. We chatted and I told her I might be interested in looking at some Julian property. She gave me some available listing information and her card and I left. My first impression was that she didn't try to push me into anything, just a friendly "here's some information, give me a call if you have any questions". I was impressed!! And I did call her several weeks later. It was a spur of the minute call to see some property I had seen on Zillow. Tiffany was showing some property in the desert so her colleague, Nicole McMillan met us and showed us the property that was available. Nicole was terrific, she also was not pushy. Let us wander around, was very familiar with all four of the properties and answered all our questions. I walked in to one of the properties and immediately knew that this was the one that I wanted. And so, my team, Tiffaney and Nicole started working on a complicated 1031 exchange for the property in Julian. This of course entailed working with my realtors in Idaho, bankers, exchange accomadators, escrow companies in different states, home insurers, the seller of the property in Julian and a very specific time frame. And they did it! I am so impressed on how efficiently they pulled all those entities together, gathered all the information, arranged all the inspections, and helped get quotes for all the repairs that were needed before the deal could close. Well done ladies, I am so appreciative of all your hard work, I love my new home. I highly recommend Tiffaney and Nicole and Julian Realty.

Our experience with Tiffany at Julian Realty was absolutely fantastic! We cold-called her a couple…read moreof days before we hoped to see a house down in a remote part of the Anza-Borrego desert. She did not hesitate at all, even though it was almost an hour away from her office, and we had not met her before. We made an offer than day and Tiffany was on top of every detail from there through the conclusion of the purchase. She was extremely attentive to the little details, was pro-active in moving the process forward, and answered all of our questions no matter how big or small. She made sure we were on track and coordinated with our loan officer and escrow company in an extremely professional manner. Honestly, we could not have hoped for a better Agent to work with and highly recommend her to anyone looking for to buy a house in the area! Thank you Tiffany!

Another a 5-star review for Carre St. Andre and Sage Real Estate! We looked for a home in Julian…read morefor two years and Carre never once complained about how many appointments she set up, the number of houses we walked through, or how long it took. She wanted us to find one we'd be happy in and gave her time and best effort until we did. Carre negotiated a win-win price and a smooth transition period with the buyers and we closed with no major surprises or complications. We have a wonderful home, thanks to our professional, amazing real estate agent. Sage Real Estate was also the property manager of the home we rented when we first moved to Julian and Carre St. Andre was our primary contact. We found the team to be very professional - fair and responsive to both the property owners and and the renters. Thank you, Carre and Sage Real Estate! Kathy and Rich Louv

Giving Orchard Realty 5 stars was not a difficult decision. If there was a 6th star, they'd get…read morethat one as well! We found a property that we wanted to view and Ms. Nicole McMillan was assigned as our realtor. Ms. McMillan has been providing us nothing less than stellar service. She quickly learned our habits & desires and was always available to us. Her communications skills are among the best that we've ever encountered. She is amazingly down-to-earth, easy to understand & fully transparent, qualities that of late in our society, which seem to have taken a back seat to the smoke'n mirrors of the quick sale. Several days ago, we realized this when we asked to her show us a lot. She begrudgingly complied but prefaced the viewing with a "you won't like this property". We thought to ourselves, "who does she think she is, it looked pretty good on the computer". She was spot-on right, we were wrong and that mistake will never happen again. Ms. McMillan knows us better than we know ourselves. She's just that smart and knows people. Ms. McMillan is always over the top. Her business smarts, ethics & transparency DOES make a positive difference out here in the real world. You can all now stop comparing other realtors. You've found the best company, Orchard Realty, and if you're lucky enough to have Ms. McMillan assigned to you, you've truly knocked it out of the park.

It was a multiple offer situation, but after listening to Sue and meeting the potential buyer, I decided to accept her offer.
