Where do I begin?! From the beginning, I was meet with nothing but amazing conversation and GREATLY appreciated help, through the entire process! I was using a different website prior to working with Alanna, then from the first day working with her, I received in an email a link to a website that was customized to me and what I was looking for in a home. This made the process so much easier. Her team is amazing and as a first time buyer, I had a lot of questions. At all times of the day and they didn't mind answering any questions I had, regardless of how simple it may have been. With Covid ruining our year, it added extra hurdles. None that Alanna couldn't face head on. She took every place I wanted to view and set up times to go and view them for me and we virtually toured the properties. As many as I wanted, she was willing to go and show them to me. Because of her career and compassion, I was able to find the home that fits be perfectly! Alanna, you and your team have my highest recommendation and I suggest you to anyone inquiring about the process. Though lengthy, you all make it easy and the end (closing) makes it all worth it. Thank you again for everything! read more

See all

Alanna was great to deal with! My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Alanna as both sellers and buyers. We listed our first home on a Fri/Sat/Sun and with 40+ showings we finalized an offer on Monday for well over our asking price! Not even a month had gone by and Alanna helped my wife and I land our dream home(With an amazing view of Coronado, the ocean, and the sunset)! Although we didn't have the highest offer on the table, Alanna made sure the seller and seller's agent knew that we had the strongest! Unlike other realtors out there, working with Alanna, you can rest assured that she has the client's best interest in mind. She helped keep our emotions in check when things seemed stressful and she just overall made the process painless for us. Alanna and her team made the entire selling and buying process a breeze for us and my wife and I would never hesitate to recommend Alanna to any of our family and friends! read more

Alanna and I served together on board the USS San Diego in 2012, and when my wife and I were interested in purchasing a home in San Diego this year we found out that Alanna was a local realtor in the area.

She was professional and advocated for me the entire time so that we could get through the process. STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Alanna is simply amazing. We both bought our condo and sold our condo with her. I didn't even think about using someone else when we decided to sell. Alanna is more than a realtor, she literally became our friend because she is so caring and motivating. My husband introduced the idea of buying a place and I thought it wasn't possible. Due to her extensive knowledge and skill with veterans we were in a place in less than 6 months during a crazy market time. We got our condo because she goes above and beyond. There were already two offers and the competition came down to things other than the numbers. She helped us to to stand out. Then when it came to selling our condo we made A LOT of money due to her advice on how to use the market to our advantage. We needed our tenants to get out early, no problem Alanna handled that. Every other hiccup and snafoo, no worries Alanna handled it. You honestly couldn't be in better hands than hers. If only she was in Florida when we bought here. We missed her during that process. read more

Working with Alanna and Tyler Perez was amazing and I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy. They helped me purchase my first condo and made the process so easy for me. They are super knowledgeable and quickly responded to all of my questions and concerns. Tyler was there for me the entire time and made me feel so comfortable. I would not go through this process again without either one of them. You could not be in better hands and would be so lucky to work with both of them. read more

I would give 10 stars if I could. Alanna and Acaia are the best! Together they got us an amazing deal in this crazy SD market. The best part? we had fun the entire time. She helped us navigate the VA loan and find the perfect home for us. She's a doll and we're ready to sell with her as soon as the time comes. read more

ALANNA IS THE BEST! There aren't enough stars on this page for her. She made the process of buying in San Diego as a first-time homebuyer less stressful and even fun! I first met Alanna over 12 years ago in Navy training, and after her years of active duty service, her commitment, intelligence, and passion for real estate make her a super impressive professional. When I got orders back to San Diego and was thinking about buying, Alanna immediately came to mind. I'm so glad I reached out to her, because the whole process from searching to offers through escrow to closing was a great experience! Alanna took the time to educate me on this complex process. In a tough market, she helped me find exactly what I was looking, moved quickly, and beat out other offers. She was an outstanding advocate and is an exceptional negotiator. She knows San Diego and is also very knowledgeable on VA loans. The next time I'm thinking about buying or selling, I'll be going to Alanna! read more

Alanna and her team were absolutely great with helping us find a new home. We are active duty military coming in from outside the area, and Alanna took the time to ensure we had all the information we needed, from virtual tours of homes, as well her industry expertise to helping us find the best house for us. Highly recommended for those in the military and/or coming from outside the area. Thanks to your team for a job well done! read more

Buying my first home sight unseen from across the country with a VA loan in this market seemed impossible, but Alanna and her team blew me away with how hard they worked and how dedicated they were to my finding the home of my dreams.

And now I'm in the perfect home that I got for **asking price** which is unheard of in this current San Diego market!!

I absolutely LOVED working with Alanna. As a young buyer I was initially intimidated with the home buying process but Alanna definitely made sure I was well informed and comfortable the entire process. I never felt pressured or nudged to go a certain direction and she made sure to watch my back to ensure the buyers did not throw any curveballs into the mix. If you want a good real estate agent then Alanna is not for you. However, if you want the BEST AGENT IN SAN DIEGO then be sure to give her a call! read more

If you don't want to read through an entire review, let me precedent the following content with one thing: Alanna Strei is a home buying and selling powerhouse. Without the help from Alanna and her team at Reef Point, my wife Sarah and I would never have survived buying a home in the midst of all of the other transitions we are going through in life. Through our home buying experience, Sarah has been going to interviews for new jobs, I have ended my career in the military and enrolled in school, all while taking care of two dogs and our 1yr old Shrek baby. I met Alanna years ago and have kept in touch mostly through social media, where she has eloquently kept a chronological timeline of posts of all the homes Reef Point has sold and bought for their customers. With beautiful pictures, and articulate descriptions of the properties, it was clear to Sarah and I that we were going to be provided a service past just getting access to homes through MLS listings (like many of our realtor friends and family had offered to us as favors.) It took us a couple months to narrow down the neighborhood we were most interested in but once we saw how fast the homes we wanted to put offers in on sold, we knew that offering early and fairly was the key. Alanna and her team advised us and showed us the ropes, helping us understand how sellers made their using prices based off of comps in the area and how easily those comps can be manipulated if someone doesn't know what to look for. We closed our home in 19 days and beat a handful of other offers because of Reef Point's customer history of closing early. Alanna also put together a beautiful offer package that encouraged the sellers to empathize with Sarah and I as buyers, separating us from the other potential buyers. Reef Point Realty is the ONLY realty company in San Diego that I would recommend if you are a motivated buyer. Rent in San Diego is sky-rocketing. With the lowest interest rates in decades and mortgages comparable to the rent you are currently paying, buying a home is a no-brainer. Sarah and I are finally settled in our home now and we have Alanna to thank for all of it. If she was not a part of this process, My family would be all but lost in our home search. Thank you Alanna and Reef Point. read more

My wife and I recently bought our first home, and working with Alanna's group was an extremely positive experience. We specifically worked with Acacia Raskin, sand she made the entire journey fun, helped minimize our stress, and helped us buy a home we love at a very favorable price. Acacia and the rest of the team were very responsive to the many questions we had along the way. Acacia helped us schedule lots of home tours so we could assess what we like. She has a good eye for homes and was able to point out both positive and negative aspects of homes that we would have overlooked. Alanna Strei's group works with a mortgage broker, Tim Joy, whom I could not praise more highly. He's an expert with VA loans and takes the time to make sure his clients understand the process and are well informed. Tim makes the loan process very smooth and will make sure you get an incredible rate. Acacia was instrumental in helping us figure out our offer prices and negotiating the terms of our contract. Her knowledge of the local market enabled us to make competitive offers without potentially wasting money. read more

Alanna helped me purchase my first home in San Diego, CA. She was such a breath of fresh air to what I anticipated to be a very stressful process. Thanks to Alanna, everything went incredibly smoothly! We found my home within 1 week of looking and closed within 30 days! Alanna also set me up with one an amazing loan broker she works with regularly for my VA loan, a great home inspector, as well as put me in contact with a project manager who helped me do all of my renovations!

Alanna is the only real estate agent I endorse to my friends and family! read more

After years of recommending Alanna to friends, acquaintances, and anyone in search of a San Diego realtor, I was finally able to work with Alanna myself! My husband and I were given a month and a half notice that our landlord would not be able to renew the lease on our apartment, so we quickly transitioned into purchase mode. Four days later, Alanna sat down with us and walked us through the entire home buying process. As first time buyers, we had no idea what terms like earnest money deposit meant, how our VA loan actually worked, or what our actual budget even really was. Alanna explained everything, and was nothing but patient as we asked for clarification and elaboration on a variety of topics. Only a day later, we started looking at homes places and when we got to the fourth one, we were ready to write an offer. Alanna was quick and efficient and only a day later, we accepted the seller's counter offer, below asking price. Alanna and her team were there every step of the way, offered unmatched insight and recommendations, never pressured or rushed us, and reassured us over and over again that we crossing all the t's and dotting every last i. Looking around at some of my friend's experiences with home buying (and especially in this crazy market!) we could not be more thankful for the smooth process Alanna helped create. We found the perfect home and it could not have gone more smooth if we tried! read more

Alanna Strei - closing day! - Real Estate Agents Near Me

There isn't a realtor in San Diego I'd hire over Alanna Strei. She managed to get our house listed, showed and SOLD in two weeks (a neighboring, nearly identical property had been sitting for weeks!). Her work ethic is, quite frankly, second to none. We have two babies and her work around to show our house when it worked for us didn't go unnoticed. She answered late night texts and phone calls and never, not once, made us feel like we were bothering her. Her honesty, tact, and genuine care about her clients are the qualities found in only the BEST business leaders. Hire Alanna to sell your house! You won't regret it!! read more

Her military background have her an extra bonus when It came to truly understanding the VA loan system. She was able to clarify and simplify some of the very complex concepts of the VA that allowed my husband and I to have a clear understanding of what was taking place within our home buying process. I can honestly say that she took the time to make us feel prioritized and we are so happy that we chose her to help us with just an important purchase. read more

Working with Alanna was a wonderful experience. She was tenacious, extremely knowledgeable, and always in communication with us about the status of open houses, our offer, escrow, etc. We completely trusted the process with Alanna and knew she would get the deal done firmly and fairly. She is incredibly well educated and knowledgable about real estate and she took the time to transfer a lot of that knowledge to us - which was hugely important to us as first time home buyers. If she didn't have the answer to a question, she went and found it and came back to us with it ASAP. Her passion for this business and her clients is evident and unparalleled. She talks about a 100 miles a minute so I can only imagine what is going on in her brain, ha ha. She is not simply a transactional agent, Alanna always had our best interest at heart. Even two months later, we are still in regular communication with Alanna about how the home is treating us, etc. etc. Alanna also knows all the in's and out's of VA loans which are often hard to get accepted in this competitive cash market. We felt completely confident in her negotiating abilities and insightful tactfulness when dealing with the seller's agent. Not only did we beat other offers with our VA loan, but Alanna was able to get creative in the offer details so we could close quickly and even have a new roof put on in escrow. She is not simply a transactional agent, Alanna always had our best interest at heart. Even two months later, we are still in regular communication with Alanna about how the home is treating us, etc. etc. We will always go back to Alanna for any real estate needs. read more

Alanna is incredible! I was coming from out of state and on a tight timeline juggling a dual military move, two dogs, a husband on deployment, and big dreams of buying a house in San Diego.

It's refreshing to see this no stress communication among an agent and their clients. If you chose Allana to represent you in your next home buying or selling transaction, you will not be disappointed. Great Job Allana! read more

Alanna Strei is the type of honest professional you want on your team. As a first time homebuyer, I had a LOT of questions and was completely uneducated on the entire process. Alanna was able to break this complex transaction down to make a smooth and seamless purchase of my new condo in downtown San Diego. She's a full time realtor -- which means her clients are her number one priority (unlike many others who may be juggling a full time job and your home purchase is second tier in their world) She's a veteran, a prior US Navy Officer, who knows what efficiency and effective communication means. She's personable...let's face it, I want to work with someone I can easily relate to and be real with. I was able to voice concerns and she was non-judgmental and focused on finding the perfect home that met all of my (rather lengthy list) requirements. Ultimately, I was able to trust her. I knew her commitment was more than just "customer satisfaction"... It was more of a commitment to sustained happiness and financial comfort in the future. She didn't want me to be "happy right now" with my home purchase, but she helped keep things in perspective for 5,10,30 years later with the purchase. Hands down, the best experience. She made the home buying process so fun, easy, and painless. I highly recommend her for first time home buyers or those looking to buy investment properties in the San Diego area. All I can say is...Alanna KNOWS San Diego. She has my full trust and confidence. read more

Alanna, thank you again for all your help! You are a rare gem, you took care of us from start to finish in every step of this life changing decision.

After searching on our own for months for a home, you made the nerve racking process of buying a home seamless. The home you recommended has now gone up in value in less than a year and we couldn't be happier with the location you recommended. Thank you again!!! read more

Wanted to say a few words complimenting John Reeves' real estate brokerage, Reef Point Real Estate, out of San Diego, CA, and one of his agents in particular. I was in the process of purchasing a home in Maryland and having a TIME of it trying to see eye-to-eye with my realtor! Nearing the end of my lease on an apartment and feeling desperate, I reached out to Alanna Strei who works for John to ask if they could put their heads together and help me out answering some questions. They went WAY beyond that. In Alanna, I found INCREDIBLE, COMPREHENSIVE and EXPERT support throughout the process despite never having a stake in the deal in MD. She researched and studied MD realty law, leveraged her brokerage's superior network and her own impressive negotiation skill to get me the best deal possible. Truthfully, I would have WALKED AWAY from my dream home at least three distinct times but Alanna helped me see the forest through the trees, got me centered and able to continue through with the deal. This was my first home! And very emotional for me to purchase which made me pretty needy... but Alanna was so patient and completely understood where I was coming from as an active duty servicemember with financial considerations unique to military members. It made a world of difference to have someone like her, with nearly the exact same experience in the Navy, advising me on this huge decision. But most importantly, she provided a support network that felt like family from beginning to end. I can't thank John and Alanna enough for their generous support! read more

Alanna is an amazing person to work with. She makes you a priority and is super flexible in working with your hours. She went above and beyond what we expected from a real estate agent as a first-time homebuyer. For anyone in the military, she has military experience herself and knows first-hand the ins and outs of being a VA buyer. read more

I was referred to Alanna by a friend because I was tired of paying rent and wanted to use my VA Loan. Alanna made it easy and I closed on my dream home in 21 days!

I completely trusted that Alanna had my back and she not only got me the condo I wanted but also at an amazing price!! I can not say enough great things about Alanna not only as a realtor but as a person! read more
