Their communication is strong, they're responsive, and they clearly prioritize their clients' best interests. From day-to-day management to helping navigate the unexpected items that come up with rental properties, they're proactive and solutions-oriented. 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.

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.

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.

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!

At inception, we thought we had a pretty straightforward escrow transaction. In reality, we ended up having an extremely complex transaction that involved the Title company and also some very crazy and rare problems. When there is an easy transaction almost any escrow company can complete the project, but the measure of a good or great escrow company is when there are unknown problems and issues that arise and how well do they help the buyer and seller work things out. This was the most complex escrow I have ever experienced, with some of the most bizarre events occurring and through it all Alysia Espinoza and her team at Alliance Escrow helped the buyer and seller complete a successful transaction.
