After interviewing several agents, we chose Vincent because of his North SD knowledge and his great listening skills. After successfully purchasing our house, we are happy to endorse him. His easy going nature made us feel very comfortable, and we were able to build trust. His diligence made him dependable, making sure that our interests were properly represented. His ability to read the offer situation and provide counsel led us to success! And finally, even after we closed, he continued to help us coordinate things like the gardener before we moved in. read more

TL;DR Hire Vincent. You won't be sorry. Full review: When my parents passed away recently, I was the executor in charge of selling their house. I had an agent I've worked with in the past who is excellent. He helped me sell a property that no one else could, so of course I decided to work with him again to sell my parents' house. As a courtesy to a close friend, I spoke with Vincent Morris before I signed an agreement with my guy. I'm so glad I did. Vincent blew my guy away with his presentation and his plan. We discussed options, and Vincent even presented the option of me accepting a pre-listing offer that was on the table, with him guiding me through the process while making zero commission. What kind of an agent does that? I'll tell you: one with integrity and a sincere desire to do what's right for his client. I hired Vincent and his team, and they exceeded my very high expectations. It was a truly collaborative process throughout and my concerns were always heard and addressed. Every piece of advice he gave was given from the perspective of ROI. "Will this expenditure pay for itself and then some?" "Is that decision colored by emotion and a waste of money?" "Does this appeal to buyers or would that appeal to them more?" Time and time again, Vincent proved himself to be an expert so I quickly learned to trust him and follow his advice. The result is that my parents' house sold for $120,000 over asking price. We had to stop accepting offers after only a few days. On the second day, we had a lady standing on the sidewalk in front of it crying because she wanted it so badly, but couldn't keep up with the quickly escalating bidding war. Keep in mind that before I hired Vincent, this was an ordinary home in an ordinary neighborhood. Vincent turned it into something special. By following his advice, we were able to realize every dollar that my parents intended to leave to me and my siblings. If I ever have the opportunity to work with Vincent and his team again, I will not hesitate to do so. My strong recommendation is that you do the same. read more

The main thing you want in a real estate agent is to know they have your best interest in mind over how quickly a deal gets done or how much they'll make off commission. I have done 3 real estate deals with Vincent in the last 5 years and I can honestly say that he puts our interests in mind first and foremost. On both home purchases, he aggressively negotiated us a deal and got the home closed efficiently. On our second home purchase, we ran into issues with the home after we had closed. Vincent, despite the deal being closed, continued to fight for us when he knew there was nothing more to gain personally. This is rare in an agent. But he really shined when he sold our home. His team is methodical and organized. He advertised in just about every relevant publication and website you can think of. He staged the house to perfection. The photos looked incredible. And when all was said and done, we had over 100 visitors at a single weekend open house and 27 competing offers. That's how it's done! I would gladly recommend Vincent and his team to any of my family or friends. I look forward to doing more deals with him in the future. read more

Picking the "right" real estate agent makes all the difference. Vincent made it through our selection process with flying colors and we used him to sell multiple homes for us. If you want to know a little about our selection process, read below. Suffice it to say, Vincent should be on the short list of agents you are considering to use. 5 stars - no hesitation. I've been buying, selling, investing and managing real estate for over 30 years. I was formally a licensed real estate broker, dealing with commercial properties in NY and CA. So, some might think that when it came to selling my own home(s), I'd somehow do it myself. Wrong. That wasn't my specialty, so like most people I had to select an agent. I'm so surprised to see people entrusting the handling of the sale of their home (possibly their single most valuable asset to someone for all the wrong reasons (i.e. a friend, a friend of a friend, "they got a mailer," etc.). No one likes to pay those big commissions. It may seem like all an agent does is list the property on-line. For some, that is almost all they do and hope a buyer finds it and buys it. So, is that your plan? Instead, my wife and I found what agents specialized in our market and type of home. Who were the top agents in the local offices? Each office or franchise has a certain vibe or reputation. What agents had sales that would rank them among the most successful in their office, region and in the Country? How many years of experience did they have? Then, we'd interview the top candidates. Each interview would last at least an hour. We'd ask them tough questions. Such as, tell us actual stories about how you resurrected a deal, how you went over and above the call of duty, what was the hardest challenge you had to overcome in a transaction, and so on. We stuck to actual events, not hypotheticals. Obviously, we asked detailed/specific questions about their marketing plan, what sets them apart from their competitors, what sets their firm apart from their competitors and so on. This agent will represents you. Would you like working with them? Would others (agents and buyers) like working with them? How are their communication skills? Are they presentable? Are they likable and disarming? Are they too confident? Do they know when to speak and when not to speak? How do they conduct an open house? Are they too pushy? Will they listen, take a sincere interest in you and your questions - that's how they'll deal with buyers? If you were a buyer would you work with them? Do they have contractor and staging resources, if the need arises? Are they easily reachable and will return your call? Do they take the listing and they assign it to a "team member?" That's just the beginning, because what you're really paying for is how they will handle the "what ifs" that happen in a transaction. If things go sideways, will they know what to do and how to do/execute it as well as what not to do? Obviously, our agent had to be an honest and ethical agent. Keep in mind that a successful agent's time is worth at least $100/hour - whether he/she is sitting at an open house, working on your marketing plan, or working on the specifics or logistics of a deal. Your agent has a lot to deal with. There's always a chance that the market is so hot, it sells in a day. Well, good for you. But more than likely the agent will spend a lot of hours and money on mailings, front or back cover ads, podcasts productions, photographs, 3-D tours, videos (drone footage), come to each showing, etc. You usually get what you paid for so if you want cheap, you'll get cheap. My advice is don't cheap out. Go all in and pick the best agent you can find. There may only be one buyer for your home and you don't want to lose that buyer by something your agent did or didn't do. Best of luck in your search. read more

Vincent is an amazing realtor and great person to work with. He helped us buy our dream home in Carlsbad and the entire time we felt well cared for and secure with him and his team. Vincent is incredibly knowledgeable about the North San Diego County area. We had some difficult times during the purchase due to factors beyond our control and at those times we were so thankful Vincent was representing us. We always felt we were in good hands. We cannot recommend him highly enough! read more

Vincent Morris is the most trust worthy, hard working agent we have had the pleasure of working with. He went far over expectations in marketing the sale of our home, and kept us abreast of all offers as they were presented. Vincent also listened carefully to our needs and wants for what will likely be our final home. He has worked with us over an extensive search period and made very insightful recommendations during negotiations. A true professional! He will impress you. read more

We feel very fortunate to have met Vincent. We felt pretty qualified to sell our house, however Vincent counseled us at nearly every turn on some important decisions. From prepping for an open house, what was important and what was not. We had an offer, above asking, for our home before the first, and only, open house. Vincent is a professional, gracious and very knowledgable in his trade. I would highly recommend him! read more

We had just relocated back to the West Coast and Vincent was extremely helpful with getting us into our new place which we love. Not only did he help us get into the place, he has also been quick to respond with any questions after we moved in and has even checked in on us a few times to see how everything was going. Couldn't recommend Vincent enough. read more

When I was selling my primary residence, I had a very unpleasant experience with an extremely difficult buyer. When the deal did not go through due to lack of performance of this buyer, I was looking for another agent to take on the listing. I found Vincent on Yelp. I was impressed by the reviews that highlight his client focused mindset and the ability to deliver especially in challenging market conditions. Although eventually I had to go with another agent due to factors that were beyond my control, Vincent continued to address my questions and said he just wanted me to have a better experience with the next buyer. What else can we ask from a service provider if they have our best interest in mind? I will definitely go with Vincent for my future real estate needs. read more

Vincent was awesome. Communicated with us every step of the way. Met with us and showed us homes whenever and wherever we needed. Also informative and experienced in the north county San Diego area. Recommend Vincent and his team highly. read more

Vincent Morris is an outstanding realtor in San Diego County! We first met Vincent while attending an Open house he was hosting. Impressed with his knowledge and character, we hired him a few years later to sell our home, and help us locate our dream home. This was not an easy task since it was the beginning of the Covid pandemic, and open houses were not allowed. Nevertheless, Vincent was able to sell our home within the first few days of hitting the market! His continued dedication to finding us our dream home came to fruition shortly after the sale. We would highly recommend Vincent Morris for all of your real estate needs! His responsiveness, knowledge of the area/real estate market, and personal dedication exceeded our expectations! read more

Had to sell a house in a "buyer's market" and, as luck would have it, we got multiple offers from buyers who failed to qualify for their loans or failed sell their current home, etc., so, we were in and out of escrow a handful of times. Vincent stuck with us through the whole ordeal and was able to offer valuable insight from his extensive experience. He helped us navigate through the twists and sell the home quicker and at a better price than we could have if we attempted to sell it on our own. I wished we used his services when we initially bought the home. His honesty would have been beneficial. read more

Having purchased nearly 600 residential and commercial units over last two years, I have worked with all kinds of realtors; and, based on my experience, Vincent Morris is not only an anomaly in the residential real estate industry, but a legitimate superstar. On our behalf, Vincent successfully quarterbacked, to a great extent, two simulataneous transactions -- one multimillion-dollar residential, and one commercial -- the latter of which he was not even a party to, and both of which involved complicated circumstances, multiple niche lenders, a myriad of personalities and a total of three 1031 exchanges. At one point, it seemed as though both transactions might fall through, yet Vincent's calm, collaborative perserverence, combined with his humble confidence, competence, and an unwavering positive attitude, muted an otherwise extraordinarily-stressful web of interconnected negotiations, loans, 1031's and contract extensions for multiple parties, and resulted in multiple successful closings. Vincent receives my highest recommendation. read more

Vincent Morris is a very experienced and truthful agent. He did a phenomenal job in the sale of our home in Carlsbad recently. To increase the value of our house, he made several invaluable improvement suggestions. Because I had already moved out the house and live in San Francisco area, he did everything for me: from changing flooring, staging, showing to contract negotiation with the buyers. I didn't even make a trip to Carlsbad. The house was on the market only less than a week and the results are far better than I expected. I trusted him, relied on him. I would highly recommend Vincent to be your agent. read more

Vince is an excellent realtor who is quite knowledgeable and responds quickly. He sold our home within 3 days but followed through every step of the way and was very easy to work with. I really liked that he was so responsive, did not wait at all to get back to us regarding any issues. I would highly recommend him read more

Vincent Morris was our realtor in selling our home recently. He was/is very professional, organized, truthful and did a good job in handling our contract with the buyers. He used several marketing/social media techniques - everything available to try and sell our home, as well as setting up a staging company to make our home 'sellable'. He was able to sell our home during a challenging real estate market - mostly a buyer's market. We highly recommend Vincent and would use him again. read more

Wonderful experience working with Vincent Morris. He's patient, thorough, experienced, and knowledgeable. We were looking for a specific type of home in a particular community that wasn't easy to find, and he helped us find it! He's very responsive via phone, email and text, and is an experienced negotiator. Would highly recommend him and would definitely work with him again for both selling and buying another home. read more

I would give him 10 stars if I could. Vincent just helped us purchase our first home in Encinitas, and our experience of working with him was fantastic. We were moving down from Santa Barbara, so we really relied on Vincent for everything. If a house popped up on a Tuesday afternoon and we thought it looked interesting, he would be sending us videos of the home an hour later. He saved us a ton of time by being our first set of eyes. And when we did come down to check out homes, he was always able to get us into homes that fit right in with what we were looking for. He was very observant and really worked to figure out what we wanted. If we mentioned we didn't like something about a house, we didn't have to worry about saying it twice. He also has great knowledge about the area, so he was able to fill us in on the schools and the traffic issues and whatever else we needed to know. He also seemed to truly be on our side, which we appreciated. We saw one home that was near some large power lines, and though they weren't making any noise, he pointed out that they can get pretty noisy, and he gently said that the home wouldn't top his list. As new homeowners, that was huge for us. The advice and the recommendations were invaluable. The home we purchased had renters in it, which added to the difficulty of pretty much everything from writing up contracts to having inspectors wander through the home - especially since we weren't there to check on things. But Vincent was great. He was always willing to go to the home to make sure things were moving along as planned, and he kept fighting for us even after we closed (we ran into some issues with some fixes on the sellers side..blerg). He stuck by us even after his check cleared (thanks Vincent!) and he's still making sure everything gets wrapped up correctly. We highly recommend working with him and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. read more

Vincent sold our home and was our Realtor for the purchase of our new home. He came highly recommended by another seller who raved about his service. Even with that recommendation, he exceeded our expectations. As a sales and marketing professional myself, I was more than impressed with Vincent's knowledge of the market, the quality of his marketing collateral, they way he positioned our home, his negotiation skills, and the way he dealt with some very difficult buyers. Vincent is extremely professional and he maintained the highest level of ethics and integrity throughout both of our transactions. He also has a great network of other professionals like mortgage brokers, inspectors, etc., who provided high quality services. Vincent made what could have been an extremely stressful and difficult process very easy. I highly recommend his services. read more

Vincent did phenomenal work in the sale of our townhouse recently. His professional manner and attention to detail we're exactly what we had been looking for and his follow through and communication created a successful transaction. He was prompt and reliable we wish him the greatest success in his future. A true gem in his field. Thank you again Vincent!! read more

Vincent is wonderful! He helped my wife and I purchase a home this past winter, and we couldn't have been happier. He was incredibly knowledgeable about San Diego, the neighborhoods and market, and was patient with us throughout the process. My wife and I ask a lot of questions, and he was always quick to respond and happy to respond. Really everything we hoped for and one could want in an agent. We would happily go to Vincent, again! read more

I will never look for another realtor ever again. Vincent is kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and walked us through every step of the process. He helped us buy and sell at the same time with grace a thoroughness that you do not find in your average realtor. He genuinely cared about us and our happiness and we are so very happy. Thank you Vincent! A couple of jobs well done! read more

We first met Vincent at a home he was showing and right from the start his demeanor was calm and not "pushy" like many realtors are. Most people are interested in just getting as many potential clients as they can but Vincent was interested in getting to know us and our needs. We aren't "needy" clients, but we did require a lot of information and footwork from an agent and Vincent did not disappoint. We had very specific requirements for the home we were planning on buying as well as the home we were selling and Vincent managed both transactions smoothly and with a manner that was both friendly and professional. He was funny when we needed to lighten things up, aggressive when we needed him to get things done and thorough when we had detailed questions. He made us feel like we were the sole focus of his efforts even though at any given time he was helping 5-10 other clients just like us! This guy managed to sell our house (getting top dollar) and manage our purchase of another house (from a particularly challenging seller) and got them both to close within about 24 hours of each other. This guy is a pro, go with him and you'll not be disappointed. read more

Vincent Morris is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is personable, organized, and very professional. As my seller agent, Vincent sold the property in Encinitas within two (2) days of the listing date. Any and all questions or concerns I had were addressed in a timely manner. If you are buying or selling property in the Encinitas area, I highly recommend Vincent Morris. read more
