My experience with Aja and the Reef Point Real Estate team was nothing short of phenomenal. She led me through a brief renovation and selling process of a rental unit that netted me 10% more than my asking price and closed in under 6 weeks from the time my tenants left the property. I base this on four things: 1. Adaptability - I told Aja and her boss John Reeves that I was a very analytical person by nature and needed to see evidence / facts and alternatives before arriving at a conclusion. While trying to decide whether to renovate and sell or just sell, Aja walked me through six scenarios with eye-watering analysis of costs, market dynamics and outcomes. We picked the best alternative together and it turned out to be even better than she predicted. So, she adapted her style to meet my needs as a customer. 2. Expert knowledge. See #1. Aja totally nailed the market analysis, and talked me out of my preferred price point to one that would net more "clicks" or views. Her strategy landed me 19 offers in four days and four of them ended up bidding the property up to 10% more than I asked. The Reef Point team presented me with an analysis and risk evaluation of all 19 offers in a way that made it easy and simple to understand and decide on the best offer. 3. Negotiation skills. Aja handled the volume of offers skillfully, convincing our best potential buyers to drop problematic clauses in their offers. We went into escrow less than a week after the house hit the market with zero drama and maximum confidence. 4. Responsiveness. I never waited more than 20 minutes to get the answers I needed when asked. Accurate and timely information - you can't ask for anything better. In short, Aja and the entire Reef Point team made this a stress-free process. The results speak for themselves. I would highly and unconditionally recommend Aja and Reef Point to ANYONE who asked. read more

Two years before I started to think about buying a home, a friend of mine had hired Aja to sell his home and raved about his "amazing" agent from the moment she pre-listed the house through the close of escrow. She sold his home at a great price in the days before it became so easy for sellers. Since my friend rarely praises anyone, I was impressed and wanted Aja to represent me as a buyer. I'm thankful she agreed, because Aja is a real estate expert and was great for me, too! Early in my search, I stopped by an open house I saw while running errands on a Saturday, and when I told the seller's agent that Aja was representing me, she exclaimed, "You're so lucky; Aja's the best in the business!" She was right. Aja and her associate Vanessa spent the time to get to know me and learn what I wanted in a dream home, and they went for it. Even though I was a buyer in a heated "seller's market," Aja set me up to win by taking me to properties the same day they went on the market, calling seller's agents while we were still on site, and putting in strong, smart early offers within minutes of me giving approval. Home buying can be stressful, but it was like house shopping with friends. I'm picky and sometimes not easy, yet even in this seller's market, I didn't have to sacrifice one thing on my wish list, and we found the perfect home. Aja projected my interests and handled escrow so well that we closed ahead of schedule. Thanks to Aja and Vanessa, I'm in a new home I love that I can't imagine selling. But if I ever do, I'll absolutely want them to handle the listing and find my next home, too. read more

I am in the military and was in the market for a home to invest in after my move to San Diego. Buying a home can be stressful, but that stress was compounded by the fact I started this search while still stationed overseas. I met with John and Aja during a short trip Stateside where they invested an entire afternoon getting to know my son and I in an effort to understand exactly what it is I was looking for. From that first meeting I realized Aja, John, and the entire Reef Point Realty team are true professionals with a sincere desire to help their clients maximize their buying potential and opportunities. Aja went out of her way to ensure I was comfortable throughout the entire process by doing everything she could to answer my questions promptly and show me any properties I was interested in via pictures, video, etc. Although Aja was the agent I worked closely with, John too continued to look for properties that might interest me. It was John who ultimately found the duplex I purchased. Once the property was identified and offer accepted, the closing process that followed was simple and straightforward, not to mention extremely fast (we would have closed in under 30 days had it not been for issues directly related to the seller). I've now been in my new home for a month and a half and I couldn't be happier. I would definitely use the Reef Point Realty team again and I recommend them to anyone who asks. read more

Our house was first listed for sale during the initial Civid-19 outbreak. Almost no one came to see it and we had no offers. We took it off the market and contacted Reef Point Realty, and they assigned our listing to Aja Lechowicz. What a blessing! From our first meeting, we were impressed with her knowledge, energy, and outside-the-box ideas. With Aja's guidance, our home was sold before it even hit the MLS, which saved us from frequent showings and potential exposure to the virus. Our escrow was not without challenges, but Aja was undaunted and handled each one professionally and efficiently. She is exceptionally kind and optimistic and inspires confidence and hope. She excels in negotiation and navigation of difficult, unforeseen circumstances. For example, she lit a fire under the tail of our buyer's very slow loan company and graciously handled some unreasonable requests from our buyer so that there was no offense taken. Our escrow was tenuous up to the last hours, but Aja had our backs. With closing delayed, se even relisted our property and produced 3 backup offers in case the deal fell through. I am an anxious person, but I was not fearful of the outcome because I knew Aja had my back. We are enjoying our new home today due to her hard and exceedingly good work. I recommend Aja Lechowicz and Reef Point Realty to everyone who wants the sale of their home to be done right. read more

As a first-time home buyer in California, I had to navigate a whole new real estate market, complete with new laws and nuances, all while having to adjust my expectations because your money definitely doesn't go as far here in California as it does in the Midwest. Thankfully, I didn't have to do this alone because I had an amazing agent in Aja Hughes with The John Reeves Team. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the whole process - from our initial meeting to even after I already moved in. I really valued and appreciated her patience, especially because my search criteria changed several times over the course of six months, whether it was price, location, or house preferences. Never was she pushy; in fact, she was always cool and objective and I never felt bad telling her "No, this place isn't the one for me." We would simply just wait and move on to the next listing. Last, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention anything about her accessibility. Her communication and turnaround times are very prompt, which goes a long ways because one thing I learned is that the California housing market moves very fast. I always felt that Aja had my best interest in mind and that alone was worth more than anything. There's no doubt that I'll use Aja and The John Reeves Team again in the future and refer my friends and family. Thanks, Aja! read more

Highly recommended for military buyers! Aja was recommended to us by a friend of a friend and she did not disappoint. We were in Virginia getting ready to move back to California while dealing with COVID-19 travel restrictions. Even 2,700 miles and 3 time zones away, Aja kept us informed on current and upcoming homes and was super responsive to all our questions. Using our inputs, Aja sent multiple properties every day with links to virtual tours for our review. When we were able to get out to CA to look at houses, she had all the tours and open houses scheduled for us and made sure our limited time was well spent looking at the houses we were most interested in. Making multiple offers and negotiating counters and contingencies was painless with her advice and guidance. She had our best interest in mind throughout and we were very happy at closing. This was not our first home buying experience, but it had the potential to be our most painful given the distance and unique challenges presented by COVID-19. Having a knowledgeable and dedicated professional like Aja took a lot of the stress out of our home purchase. I will be recommending her to everyone I know who is looking to buy or sell in Southern California. read more

Aja was recommended to us by a close friend of ours. We heard so many good things beforehand, but to actually experience it, was amazing. Aja was quick and easy to work with throughout the entire process. My husband and I were comfortable in speaking our mind in front of her without being judged for. Especially not knowing or understanding a lot of the information regarding the home buying process. We are first time homebuyers and she made the process so smooth and stress free. Everything was explained throughly and in depth. From little basic household items use to marketing, and legal requirement; Aja was very knowledgeable. We were always given an answer for all our questions. Our offers were talked throughly, agreeable on our end (buyer) before the submission (our opinion was never dismissed), also ensuring that we were always the most competitive. It stayed professional the entire time. We were given daily updates, which helped with a lot of our anticipation to getting accepted on an offer. We couldn't thank Aja enough for all the assistance to buying our dream home. We look forward to working with her in the future. read more

To say that Aja is the best out there is a huge understatement. We fell in love when we moved to San Diego, when she went far above and beyond to help us find our first dream home. But when we found out we needed to sell our home in just a few short months--all while having a baby and working full time still--she easily guided us through the selling process. She gave us simple tips that helped make our home look absolutely beautiful without an incredible amount of extra work. The whole John Reeves team swept in and made us fall in love with our home all over again. She was positively a lifesaver as we negotiated a vigorous inspection schedule from an excited buyer. She handled tons of inspectors and contractors with grace and helped make the entire process totally painless for us. I couldn't have imagined selling our home with anyone else. She not only our tight timeline, she got us an incredible offer, helping make sure that our dream home was also a worth while investment. Aja is 100% the best realtor you can have on your side, from start to finish, buying to selling, and everything-EVERYTHING- in between. read more

I cannot day enough wonderful things about Reef Point, and Aja. When we moved to San Diego, we bought our home through Reef Point, so when the time came to sell, we knew we would use them again. When we contacted Reef Point to begin the selling process we were matched with Aja. From the beginning, Aja was wonderful to work with. She listened to what I had to say, and worked with me to get our home ready to sell. Through the selling process my husband was deployed, so everything was on my shoulders to complete, but Aja helped me every step of the way. Heeding her sage advice, we were able to obtain top dollar for our home, with multiple offers on the table, and a three week escrow. It was more than I could have hoped for! The day after escrow closed, we had the money in our account from the sale. If we ever find ourselves in a place to return to San Diego, I will assuredly be contacting Aja to help us buy another home! read more

It was such a pleasure to work with at Reef Point Real Estate and have her as our real estate agent. Aja is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional, but what really impressed us the most is how responsive and caring she is. Aja never left any questions unanswered and even anticipated our concerns by always providing useful information and statistic we would need for purchasing our investment property. Another big advantage is her network of professionals, which she recommended for almost anything we needed related to purchasing the property and leasing it after. We are grateful for all her hard work, dedication, and time that she spent with us. She is also an excellent negotiator and helped us close escrow in record time. We highly recommend her and would use her again in the future. read more

We couldn't be more thrilled with Aja! Aja was a welcome relief amidst the very trying times brought on by COVID-19, further complicated by several personal and professional challenges. She jumped right in and was able to quickly understand our position, and then empathetically gave us incredible counsel. Without her advice, we would still be lost in our search for a home. Aja is honest, responsive, and fully invested in you - the customer. She truly understands service, and she will aggressively, thoughtfully, and relentlessly pursue the best possible outcome for you and your family. You will not regret bringing her into your life and along on the journey to you next home. She treated us so well, and we feel lucky to have had her beside us! read more

Aja Hughes and the Reef Point Team are EXCEPTIONAL. We have worked with Aja twice now--for both the purchase and the sale of our house, and each time she has exceeded expectations. It is rare when a realtor can be great as both a purchasing agent and a selling agent, and she is the best of the best on either end of the transaction. Aja always has the interest of her client in mind, and there are no exceptions to that. She is kind, communicative, thoroughly , and ensures that the home sells quickly at a competitive price. I would recommend her to anyone, and if we move back to California, our family will surely reach out to her again. You cannot go wrong with Aja--she is hands down THE BEST! read more

My mother had passed away after living on the property for 74 years. I live in the Los Angeles area and wanted to sell this house as soon as possible without lots of trips to the south part of San Diego. Aja was able to take care of everything on line except once someone come to my house. One time that I went to the house to get some of my belongings, Aja came down so that I could meet her. She made me feel so good about all that was happening and assured me that she would do exactly what I wanted. I was so pleased with the way she helped me in all my needs related to quickly selling my mother's house. read more

Her knowledge, negotiating skills, preparation, and responsiveness is unmatched in the real estate business.

You will not find anyone with a better team in place to make the purchase or sale of your home any smoother. Should we be in the market for a home in the San Diego area again, we won't go to anyone but Aja! read more

Aja was amazing! Highly recommended. She assisted us while we were still abroad via telecommunications. She went and saw all the houses that we were interested in, even if just to see it. Once my Spouse arrived, she met with them to check out properties, always keeping me in the loop, and ensuring I was always included in the ENTIRE process with the lenders and all associated parties. She was honest, straight forward and supportive, as my partner and I did not always see eye-to-eye. She also connected us with partners to help us get everything ready for closing and move-in. read more

Aja is one of the most professional and consistent agents we have worked with. She has excellent communication skills and works very hard to ensure that we are aware of all facets of the process of selling our previous home. She was able to take us from a period of no-interest into escrow with a buyer who met our required price point. At not point was there any perceptible lack of effort on her part and we always felt that she was doing her best to help us. She came to us highly recommended and as we close out receives our highest recommendation. -B&C Krafft read more
