We recently worked with Tony to buy a house in San Diego county. Tony has sharp attention to detail…read moreand a deep understanding of real estate transactions. In addition, Tony is objective in his assessments and is uniquely (and positively) different from many of the other agents we met. We always knew that he was giving us an accurate assessment of whatever the topic, from repairs, market conditions, to a home's characteristics. Most importantly, we always felt that we could trust Tony to steer us in the right direction and represent our interests. He followed through from start to end, handling everything that has come up. He was responsive, thorough, and honest. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Tony again for any future transactions.

I met Tony through a friend who was both buying and selling her homes.  After I saw him navigate…read moreher through every detail in such a professional and understanding manner, I knew he was the person I was going to call when we were ready to buy a house. I finally called Tony at the beginning of January, and I knew we were entering a competitive market. Believe it or not, we purchased a house BELOW list price! It was only through Tony's amazing knowledge and help that the whole process was seamless. If you want a quality real estate broker who is attentive to his clients' needs, Tony is the person to choose.

From start to finish we had a great experience with American Dream Homes! We used our VA home loan…read morebenefits to purchase our first home with them. They were able to find us our perfect first home! There were a few hiccups (at no fault on the side of ADH) but our agents Christy and Meagan were so helpful as to what we should do next and how we should proceed when things didn't go our way with a not so professional listing agent with the first house we wanted. They were also more than willing to travel farther than normal to find us a house that was both affordable and had everything we wanted! We had to move in quite quickly and were very accommodating to our schedule. Overall we were so happy with our experience and I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking to buy in the San Diego area!

I cannot say enough good things about Meagan; from being 100% honest, sincere, and a hard charger, she was able to get my house sold in a timely fashion. I appreciated how she never kept any secrets from me and was always able to be reached for any questions I may have had. I truly felt at the end of everything, I was not only working with a "realtor," but a friend. Meagan truly cared about my feelings and thoughts during the entire selling process and I had absolute trust in her. I couldn't be more thankful to those who recommended her to me. I will with absolute certainty use her and American Dream homes in the future for my next home!!!!

This is a long overdue review, where to start…read more My girlfriend and I were looking for a home to purchase. We had gone from Realtor to Realtor. Not because we were picky, but because it seemed like most Realtor's saw us more as a "number" rather than a client/partner. After a couple months of casual searching for homes, we ran into David, who was doing an open house on one of the homes we were interested in. The entire time, he was responsive, honest, friendly, and just an all around genuine person. After talking to David for about 30 minutes, I knew I wanted him to represent us. After discussing the houses he was showing, he told us he would reach out to our realtor to discuss anything if we wanted to. He didn't even ask if we had a realtor, which honestly I felt was way better than immediately asking someone if they have a realtor they are working with. I told him we were looking for someone to work with, and wanted to know if he was interested. After that, David never changed in personality or professionalism. He spent HOURS searching for homes, as well as scheduling many different visits with potential prospects. No matter what day, or time, David was there. He would call me, text me, or anything, to let me know statuses, updates, and answer any questions or concerns. He also had a lot of experience in "fixer uppers" as well as other potential costs, etc. for things. He also had great experience in codes and regulations. Eventually, we landed on the house we wanted. It wasn't on the market yet, but David reached out to the landlord ahead of time, to explain our situation. We made an offer, and jumped out of escrow on our current offer, which we realized we did not want after finding our home. David was patient, attentive, and helpful in giving us critical advice, and his opinion whenever it was needed. I never felt like David was forcing us to buy anything. He was willing to put way more than enough to time to get us the place we wanted. Every other Real Estate agent seemed like we were a burden when looking for places to visit, etc. Also, we told many Real Estate agents our budget, and David was the ONLY one (out of 5+) agents that actually stayed within our budget. Others kept trying to sell us higher amounts that we were approved for, even though we told them we want to only go to a certain amount. We are still working on renovations on the current home David helped us get, and we are excited to have him over to see the new place! David, we can't thank you enough for your help and natural professionalism in working with us to get this place. For that, we are truly grateful. Josh R.

Review for Agent Jason Fogelman:…read more It appears there's a max limit on Trulia's recommendation form, but I don't want to leave anything out so I will provide the link to my Yelp review for Jason. I call it serendipitous luck that Jason came across my path in July 2011. I randomly found his property listing, contacted him the same day and he was quick to accommodate my schedule to view the property. Upon that first meeting, it was a go for me to continue working with him on this short sale. I recall telling him it was a no-brainer decision. It's now the end of Oct 2011 and I just moved into my new home this past weekend. The short sale process was not easy. As we all know they never are. Many uncontrollable huge mind-boggling "surprises" occurred, but one constant in the whole serendipitous trip was Jason's tireless commitment and dedication to my needs as his client. I'm the type of person who prefers to be in control however I was completely comfortable knowing Jason was in charge as my agent and didn't need to have my hands in every single thing because he had it under control. I'm sure there's much work he did behind the scenes that I don't even know about just to make it as easy for me as possible in a difficult red tape short sale. He is a task master and problem solver extraordinaire with many industry connections to handle whatever your needs may be. He's proactive in letting you know what to anticipate, follows through on his actions AND continues to follow up once the deal has closed. I suspect he has bartered with Father Time to have more than 24 hours in his day as he is relentless in handling any and all tasks at hand. I will not lend my name or recommendation unless I fully believe in someone or something. I would 100% recommend Jason and send all my friends and loved ones his way. No doubt.

Unfortunately, I was not as lucky as some of the people here that have reviewed this ageny. I…read morecalled on a property that was for rent and the agent Marla Zanelli answered the phone. The property had been rented and so she did her job in trying to change my thought process to purchase. It made sense and I told her I would look. From the initial showing it was a feeling of desperation. I never felt like she was a "buyers agent". She pushed on everything we looked at. I wrote a contract but she couldn't get the sellers to agree to the price. We went and looked at another and though I voiced my concerns she continuously pushed me to write a contract. Never a consideration for what was right. I was fairly new to the area and therefore interested in looking at multiple areas. I had been asking about La Jolla and she had run listings. We were out looking in Carmel Valley and I asked if we were going to go look at La Jolla. She told me that if I drove, she would take me, but she didn't want to spend her gas. Another time, she asked me if I was paying her by the hour to show me homes. REALLY??? wow.. I felt sorry for her and I knew that I was running out of time on finding a home to move into so she offered me a vacation rental that she was doing on the side. She wouldn't meet me at the office to sign the paperwork and when we rented it, she made me do two separate cashiers checks. I don't think I should've done this, as someone told me its illegal. One to her because she needed the commission to pay her bills and one to the owner. I was getting tired of the comments and her asking me to drive to look at properties and she was showing signs of frustration with me because i didn't write a contract on everything she showed me so I changed realtors. This made her extremely upset when she found out I wrote a contract with another realtor. She called and asked me about it and I told her I didn't feel comfortable with her pressure and lack of desire to listen to what I am wanting or looking at. Nothing was said and the rental ended. NOW this is where it gets worse. We did a walk through on the property in Seaside Sur and she made no notes about the condition. I personally swept, vacuumed, cleaned sinks, shower, and washed all the sheets that were in the property even though I paid $125 up front for a cleaning fee. The only thing that she said was that there were water stains on the coffee table. I made reference to the owner's book that they said to use coasters please and we had done so. She made no reference to anything else. After we left, she then said the coffee table was ruined, the place was filthy dirty. I asked what was dirty and she said the microwave and the stove. Two weeks later she said that there were two rugs and towels that were ruined. Again, never noted on departure. I have not gotten any part of my deposit back and its 3 weeks later. I am suppose to have the money back before three weeks in the state of california according to her. Do NOT deal with this person. I will be moving forward with litigation against all parties involved to get my security deposit back.
