Tamara Krause helped my husband and I purchase our first home this year and I would highly…read morerecommend her to anyone looking for a professional Real Estate Agent. I hate to admit, but I am not the easiest person to work with since I am a little obsessive compulsive and intense about getting answers quickly and accurately -sometimes at the most inconvenient times (i.e. weekends, evenings, and dinner time). Tamara always got back to me quickly and eased our first time homebuyer fears. Tamara guided us through the process and let us know what to expect during all the phases. What I loved about her the most was that she always had our best interests in mind. Whenever I got distracted by the pretty crown molding and granite counter tops that the 'flipper' had installed, she was pointing out foundation issues, potentially costly repairs, etc. Even after looking at at least 40 homes, she never once made us feel pressured to make an offer on something. I felt bad that we had looked at so many homes and after making several offers that we were outbid on still had nothing to show for it. She assured us that she would keep looking no matter how long it took... months or years... it didn't matter as long as we found the right home. Tamara is professional, courteous, patient, extremely competent, and above all has the client's best interest in mind. I know that this is a business, but I never once felt that making money was her goal. Her goal was to match the right house with the right family.

Instead of opting to rent a larger place we decided to jump into the housing market while prices and interest rates were relatively low. Complete newbs, we had no idea what we were doing beyond pointing at things on Zillow and saying "I like dat wan, and dis wan...." Enter the lovely Tamara Krause. If you need someone that is patient, informative, and sweet as pie, Tamara is the perfect fit. I must have dragged her out to a few hundred listings during rush hour traffic, just to dislike them all, and she didn't even bat an eye. Just when I was about ready to throw in the towel because nothing I found seemed to fit our criteria, she sends us a random listing for a cute, lovely craftsman cottage that had "Larah's perfect dream house" written all over it. At first I thought there could be no way we could afford a detached house, but she said "Silly girl, when you don't pay for HOA fees, you can just apply that to your mortgage...." Man, I'm an idiot... So as it turns out, Tamara knew what we wanted more than we did. I suspect throughout all those seemingly wasted listing viewings she was secretly crafting all our likes and dislikes to come up with the most perfect solution in the end. Well played, Tamara. Well played. Ps. We LOVE our house!! Both literally and figuratively. Wait, what?

I can't say enough good things about Cristina. She didn't just help me with 1 transaction,…read moreCristina helped me 3 transactions. Our first transaction was 10 years ago and she has my 100% trust since. Cristina is very professional and practical. Very organized and pretty much could execute without my daily involvement.

As a San Diego native, she has extensive knowledge of the various San Diego neighborhoods. Additionally, being in the real estate business for over 15+ years, Cristina has valuable insights into the best ways to navigate the competitive market, making every step of the nuanced buying process seamless. As a first-time homebuyer, I inevitably had a multitude of questions and was very picky in what I wanted in a house. Cristina did a great job of answering all my questions thoroughly. Despite COVID hitting right at the beginning of my house search, she was able to help me get my offer accepted on a property that checked all my boxes in one of my top desirable neighborhoods. Even after the sale was closed, Cristina provided me with recommendations for house renovations and services ensuring the subsequent steps went smoothly. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or looking to buy/sell property in San Diego, look no further for the perfect agent!

Erica is the prime epitome of what any realty agent strives to be…read more My wife and I had finally initiated the process of first-time home buying and were specifically aiming for a centrally located condo. Luckily her co-worker referred us to an excellent Loan Officer, Zachary Di Salvo (whom my wife and I also highly recommend; on a side-note), and this step began a domino effect of positivity throughout the entire home-buying process (which may be absolutely traumatizing to some if not situated with an immaculate team: primarily the agent & loan officer). Loan Officer Zachary, in-turn, highly recommended Erica B. after we expressed our necessity for a well-versed, highly knowledgeable & experienced Agent. We could not have made a better decision than contacting Erica and scheduling an interview to see if we would all work well together. Upon our initial introductions, all the way through the conclusion of the meeting with Erica, my wife and I were beyond confident that she would be thee representative who would attain the perfect home for us and our future family. Her organized technique in presenting every little detail to the process of home buying was not only (and obviously) extensively informative to the novice-minded buyer, it was well-presented expeditiously to avoid loss of interest and she provided some resources (handbook, phone numbers, etc.) that we could & still refer to in cases of any inquiry my wife and I may have. I mention this detail because not many, and I re-iterate, not many realty agents will take the liberty of providing resourceful booklets or informative documents, let alone speak of the details a buyer should be required to learn prior to purchasing a huge investment such as a home. After searching through quite a few, personally selected condominiums in San Diego, we had finally come across 2 of which struck me and my wife's interests! Erica was extremely helpful, providing us with her personal opinion, without bias, and allowing both of us to mutually agree on our perfect start-up home. Although the Escrow process could have been much more stressful, Erica personally stuck with us throughout the whole process! No substitute agents ever took her place in our process but luckily, she could have even accommodated us with one if she, herself had prior engagements/appointments. One of the most important key traits of any agent that was necessary for myself and my wife, was communication. Never was there a time that any questions to details or inquiries we had for Erica were ever ignored, nor was there even a delay in response! At this point, with my high praise of Erica, it should already be apparent that her professionalism and expertise in this field, to say the absolute least, is extremely exuberant and should already reassure any new/experienced home buyer (inquiring for thee one realty agent that will thoroughly assist them in the process), and leave them without any reasonable doubt that they'll be in great hands with Erica, but accommodated even further with the entire Rising Realty team. ... Or aside from providing ALL this detail to the perfect service we received, I could have just stated: "My wife and I are beyond grateful for everything that Erica and her Rising Realty team have provided us with, throughout the entire First-Time Home Buying process!" ... But that would have left a generic, unflavored, idea of the type of experience a Home Buyer would (wishfully) assume of every other realty agent out there. Thank you for actually reading this far! And again, thank you for all you did and continue to do for my wife and I, Ms. Erica "The Lady Boss" - ian.
