Margaret is awesome! I currently live in NYC and going to the process of being a first time home…read morebuyer. Unfortunately, the relator and lender I was working with really were lagging, slacking and all of the above and weren't walking me through the process and basically I was chasing them for answers. I immediately contacted Margaret for a quick consultation (first time home buyers 101). She literally gave me to do's and don'ts of a realtor and guided me through the steps I needed to take to select someone new and work with a whole new group all together. And let me tell you it worked, she was spot on. She was very thorough and professional and great to consult with. And for those wondering how I know her. I moved from San Diego to NYC, otherwise I would have been under her wing. If anyone needs help selling, buying, or even consultation hit her up. She knows what she's talking about.

I have been working with Margaret to lease a commercial property for a restaurant and eatery. She…read morehas been very professional from day one. She is very quick, knows her stuff, and will make sure you get the best deal possible. She puts the customers first 100% of the time, checking in to make sure that I was comfortable with every step of the process. Its refreshing nowadays to find a realtor who communicates as well as she does. She does not leave you feeling in the dark, she will communicate with you and she is fast! She will get things done in a very timely manner as we all know that nowadays time = money. Speaking of money, she will make sure you save a lot of it. She will tell you how it is and will not beat around the bush. In commercial real estate, some properties are more negotiable than others. If there is not much wiggle room she will let you know in order to save you time. If there is wiggle room than she will make sure you get the best deal. Honesty is a very important quality to have and she will always be honest and upfront about the situation. She will never pressure you to do anything that you do not want to do and will give you options to weigh your decisions. Due to her professionalism and her loving and excelling at what she does, She will also be the realtor that will handle my home purchase. She is experienced in many specialties, including both buying and selling. I have no doubt my home purchase will be in good hands, after seeing how she deals with my commercial lease process. If anyone reading this is looking for a new realtor (because lets be honest, not all realtors are created equal) then I highly suggest you give Margaret a call and speak to her or go into her office and inquire about your real estate needs. You will not be disappointed. Its hard in todays society to find a realtor that exemplifies what it is to be a star realtor, and Margaret is indeed a star realtor. I was fortunate enough to find Margaret after having gone through several realtors that were not so great. Give her a call or come on down and see her, you will not be disappointed.

Norman is hands down the best agent in San Diego. He sold my house for me in Jamul for top dollar…read moreand he was always very professional, and on top of his game. He always answered every phone call or text I sent to him right away and I liked that. All the way down to the movers he was right there and involved. Now I'm ready to purchase another home and Norman is the only one I would use. Thank you so much Norman.

In no uncertain terms, Norm is an absolutely fantastic real estate agent. He is knowledgeable,…read morepersistent, thoughtful, steady, and importantly, he is genuine. We've had other real-estate agents before with other house purchases, and we will only use Norm going forward. Norm helped us buy the house that is perfect for our family, and we cannot recommend him enough. Norm is a true expert. He has an incredible understanding of the market and its changes; he regularly could explain neighborhoods, how a house fits (or does not) into a neighborhood, and how that affects the listing price. He has an eye for details in design and construction that most would not see. We were most appreciative that Norm was available almost 24/7 to help with our "freakouts," concerns, and questions the entire way. We are fickle and spent 9 months looking at houses. There were times we would say we wanted one thing, see it, and completely change our minds. Yet Norm was able to get a good sense of us from asking questions, seeking our feedback and opinions, and genuinely getting to know us. His goal was always to find us the right house for us--our family, wants, needs, and budget. Once we finally found THE right home, our purchase hit almost every road block we could imagine and few we did not know existed (e.g., permit violations, loan locks). Norm was with us, and even ahead of us, every step of the way. For example, after we were in escrow, we couldn't close because of city permitting issues. He was persistent to get answers and a solution: he regularly called permitting offices and went in-person, he called architects, he called the sellers agent until he was able to give us a clear picture of the issues based on facts and how to overcome. We feel confident in Norm Bramstedt for any homebuyer or seller.

Selling my dad's home was already emotional, and after being tied to an ineffective realtor for…read morealmost a year, it had also become incredibly frustrating. Then we were introduced to Kelly and Graham Levine, and everything changed. From day one, they brought clarity, confidence, and real solutions -- including a way to prepare the home for sale without any upfront cash, which meant the world to our family. They were professional, firm with buyers, communicative, and always available. I never felt like just another transaction. And the results speak for themselves: after languishing on the market for nearly a year, the house sold in one month and for a great price. Kelly and Graham are kind, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely excellent at what they do. I could not recommend them more highly.

Graham and Kelly are the only Realtors we will ever work with--because they treat you the way you'd…read morehope your best, ruthlessly successful, friend would. With decades in the industry, they bring a depth of wisdom that only comes from having seen it all. They've successfully weathered every kind of market--booms, busts, and everything in between--and they never flinch. Their calm, confident guidance is rooted in experience, not guesswork and naïve confidence. They are empathetic, compassionate, and relentlessly hard-working.

Always just a phone call away, they are your fiercest advocates They're also set apart because of their expansive professional reach. They have a deeply connected network across every facet of the home buying and selling process- from inspectors and lenders, to contractors and legal experts. This means they can immediately connect you. For anything that comes up, they can give you a short list of solutions for you to pick, which keeps your process moving forward. It makes the entire process seamless. Their experience isn't just impressive, it's empowering. You feel supported, informed, and confident knowing you're working with someone who's seen it all and knows how to handle anything. We are endlessly grateful for how much they've helped grow our lives--and we wouldn't dream of working with anyone else.

When a close friend introduced us to Mike, we knew we were in good hands, but he still managed to…read moreexceed every expectation. Selling a home while simultaneously being in escrow on a new purchase is an incredibly stressful juggling act, but Mike made the entire process seamless. He is incredibly organized and strategic, keeping us a step ahead at every turn so nothing ever fell through the cracks. Beyond his professional expertise, Mike is genuinely warm and personable. He is so easy to work with and truly understood our situation. No matter the time of day, he was always available to answer questions, calm our nerves, and guide us through decisions. Thanks to his hard work and market strategy, he got our house sold promptly, taking a massive weight off our shoulders while we managed our purchase. We trusted him completely, and we loved working with him so much that we are already partnering with him again for our next move. If you need a top-tier real estate agent, Mike is your guy!

Operation: Dream Home - Barboza Edition…read more What started as buying a house became a mission. As a military family, resilience is second nature, but this home meant something deeper--a place where my mom, as she battles cancer, can sit by the pool and watch her grandkids laugh together.

This is my first house and he walked us thru the steps and had recommendations for us when we needed them. There were some minor repairs that needed to be done on the house and Mike helped us negotiate with the seller's realtor to get a credit towards our closing costs. Mike was referred to us by a friend who also bought his first house with Mike's help and we're glad we went with him. He's very friendly and good at what he does. I recommend calling Mike if you're in the market to buy or sell a home.

Heather went above and beyond for us, selling our townhome in La Mesa. We met her at an open house…read morewhile doing market research before listing our property and it was her listening and feedback style that immediately drew us to her. We knew buyers would be received similarly- with attentive, but respectful space, and with a wealth of financing options ready to discuss. Yes, she was pleasant, super responsive to both of us whether individually or together, gave sound pricing and market advice backed by transparent research- all the qualities that earn a 5-star rating, but she did so much more than that! In one of several examples, when the buyer's agent wasn't participating and slow- Heather stepped up in her same professional and ethical manner to see the sale through, on time. **Bottom line** you never know what flavor of circumstances might put your sale or offer at risk, but you can choose a dedicated realtor with a myriad of skill sets and strategies to apply to your buying or selling goals. Heather checked all the boxes and delivered for us. Highest sale in the community without the stress! Thank you so much!
