John listened to my concerns and spent over 30 minutes talking to me and my husband explaining our options and showing us how to access information on the parcels.

We will definitely be calling him in the future should we decided to develop our property and need surveying services.

I spoke with John over the phone, and he took the time to clearly explain the nuances of property boundary surveys, material discrepancies, and how existing records and monuments factor into real-world situations. He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping me understand my options rather than immediately pushing a full survey. John reviewed my parcel ahead of time, referenced existing corner records, and explained what those records mean in practical terms - including when a survey may or may not be necessary. His explanations were clear, honest, and easy to follow, especially for someone who doesn't deal with land surveys regularly.

From our…read morefirst phone call, he was warm and welcoming, and got the appraisal scheduled promptly within a few days. He arrived exactly on time, treated my home with respect, and was very professional throughout the walkthrough. What stood out most was his level of communication and the speed of delivery. I had the full appraisal report in less than 48 hours. He was easy to reach by text and email and even took the time to thoroughly go over the report with me by phone. The analysis was comprehensive, with clear data-backed insights that gave me full confidence in the valuation. Overall a great experience from start to finish and I would gladly use him again as an appraiser. He is also a realtor and I would not hesitate to use him to represent me as well!

My husband and I recently bought our first home, and we truly couldn't have done it without the…read moreincredible team at the Greenhouse Group. Our realtor, Craig, was amazing from start to finish. He helped us search for the right place and offered thoughtful, honest advice throughout the entire process. One thing we really appreciated was that we never once felt pressured to make a quick decision. Craig genuinely wanted us to find a home that we loved and that he himself would feel comfortable living in. He was also extremely diligent during the home inspection process, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. Craig went above and beyond in ways we never expected. He even took the time to make a YouTube video for my husband to show him how to handle a few DIY things around the house. On top of that, he had several hour-plus phone calls with my husband just to walk through the escrow process in detail and make sure we truly understood everything that was happening. That level of patience and dedication meant a lot to us. At one point Craig had even injured his foot, and despite that he still showed up to help us view homes. That kind of commitment really says a lot about the kind of person he is. We also want to give a huge shoutout to Jeremy, our mortgage officer. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you can make, and Jeremy did an incredible job walking us through everything step by step. Our loan situation was a bit complicated in the beginning, but Jeremy gave us solid advice and helped us get to where we needed to be in less than a year. He always made sure we understood the financial side of things and felt comfortable with the decisions we were making. Jeremy also showed us that having a strong relationship with lenders and simply being a genuinely good, personable person who's easy to talk to can make a huge difference in getting a loan approved. On top of all his professional accolades and knowledge, he's someone who is approachable and easy to communicate with, which is honestly a rare quality and something that made this whole process so much smoother for us. What really stood out to us about this team is that they're not just a realtor group. They're a group of people who ended up becoming our friends throughout this journey. They made it clear that if we ever have questions down the road, they'll always be available to help, no matter how long it's been since we bought our home. That kind of long-term support means a lot. Overall, the entire team was incredibly helpful, communicative, and trustworthy. We always felt like they were truly in our corner. The constant communication between everyone meant we never went a day wondering where we were in the process. Even though we know they work with many clients, they made us feel like we were their only ones. We're so grateful for their support and guidance during such an important milestone in our lives. And when the time comes for us to buy or sell again in the future, there's no question -- this is the team we'll be working with.

It's clear they take pride in the way they care for both owners and tenants. If you're looking for a property management team that's organized, professional, and genuinely invested, they're a great group to work with.

She replied to my messages promptly, and I'm very confident she would have managed my property to my full satisfaction. Todd: I didn't hear your voice message until a few days ago! 9 out of 10 calls I get are scams, so I have the habit of letting unknown numbers go to voicemail, and then forget to check my messages. Thank you for your call! If and when I do buy a rental property, Kristen will be the first person I call.

I live in the Brentwood Condos as an owner for about 5 years now. Our unit is nice. The complex…read moreitself is very nice. I was very sorry to read the poor reviews on the landlords of other units here, so I decided to give my opinion on the complex itself. It is a clean complex with beautiful landscaping. There are two well-maintained pools and one jacuzzi. There is a recreation room that has table tennis and a pool table. There is one large laundry room with three smaller satellite laundry rooms located throughout. The complex is walking distance to Lake Murray and Cowel's Mountain, and just minutes driving distance to Mission Trails. The surrounding neighborhood is relatively safe and friendly, with many public schools. I really love where I live. The only negative thing is the HOA isn't great. They do have a great maintenance guy, and get the work orders done. But they drop the ball quite frequently when it comes to customer service and there is no security guard at night (which for the amount of money we pay them, I believe there should be)

I wish I could give LJ Woodard 10 Stars on YELP - he deserves every one of them! LJ is most highly…read morerecommended! I had a tough choice to make because I knew several real estate agents in San Diego (all who charged 2.5 - 3.0 percent) and a couple who were friends of the family. I didn't know LJ - I actually found him by accident looking for the name of our old real estate agent. I talked to other agents and they essentially said "you get what you pay for" and "there is a reason he is so inexpensive". I agree. LJ asks for a reasonable fee and works very hard for you doing a great job - he is not greedy and earns a fair wage for a fair amount of work - in my experience, likely better than someone making two and one half times more money for the same job. LJ was fantastic at communicating with me nearly every single day. LJ was always available and he was always very straight forward. I had a VERY EASY sale and close and I credit that to a great home - a great buyer - and LJ ensuring I was prepared and ready for every step along the way. As an FYI, if you have a nice looking home, DEFINITELY purchase the premium photo package - the photos were WAY BETTER than anything I ever took. I look at homes online all the time and the ones they took of "my home" blow away what I typically see on Zillow for other homes. LJ is MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! For a million dollar home you can pay $10,000 or you can pay $25,000 for the same end product. Choose LJ and save money and reap the reward of having someone there with you every step of the way!

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.

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.
