We weren't hesitant to ask questions when we didn't understand something and he went above and beyond our expectations of a real-estate agent. It felt like an actual friend was helping us secure our first home. I would definitely recommend Paul to my family and friends!

8 years ago, Paul helped us buy our first home in Mira Mesa. Back then, it was a house that had…read moregood bones and we knew that we had to put some work into it. Throughout the years, we renovated the kitchen, took away the popcorn ceiling, installed hardwood floors, remodeled the bathrooms, installed air conditioning, updated the yards, and put in double-pane windows. Now that we are moving, we've asked Paul Caparas to help us sell our house. Paul gave us great advice on the timing of when to sell the house and the list price. He has many years of experience and he knows the San Diego housing market very well. With his recommendation, we were able to quickly get our home ready to list on the market and we only had to spend one weekend for Open House. Many potential buyers came to the Open House and we had more than twenty offers at the end of the weekend! While we were in escrow, Paul was always easy to reach through phone calls or text messages whenever we had any questions. Paul communicated well with the buyer's agent which allowed for a smooth escrow process. Whether on the buying side or the selling side of real estate, Paul Caparas has a ton of experience and we highly recommend him!

As my husband and I look back on 2023, the accomplishment we are most proud of is buying a home in…read moreSan Diego. This would not have been possible without the help of our brilliant realtor, Kate Goodwin. Recommended by a friend, I confided in Kate in Sept that we finally felt confident in exploring the possibility of buying a home. We spoke of our apprehension as first time buyers as well as our fears of searching in a competitive market with rising interest rates. Kate assured us every step of the way, from beginning to end. She approached us with clarity and honesty. She spoke of genuine care and passion of why she became a realtor and discussed her zero commitment until we were sure. Putting peoples needs first is Kate's specialty. Never once did our family feel pushed, manipulated, or blindsided. Kate was with us from the first day we looked at homes to the last. She coached us in what to look for in a home, she walked us through timelines, expectations, and went through all the paperwork page by page (we basically read novels together). She was patient, kind, and thorough. She took every one of our considerations into account from our beloved pit bull to the possibility of potential ADU/future rentals. Kate never made us feel like we were less-than or foolish, she never spoke down to us, and she treated us with genuine respect from the beginning. She didn't bat an eye when we stated we'd be using our VA. She insisted we look into ways to push into a higher price point without sacrificing our existing lifestyle or budget. She explored assumable loans and buy-downs. Kate will find a way to make your dreams a reality. What we appreciated most about Kate was her willingness to go to bat for us. She fought for our rights and she protected us when she sensed anything was off. She always wanted to know our thoughts and when asked, she didn't hesitate to tell us that something wasn't the right fit for us and why. Even after papers were signed and escrow was closed, she fought for things that didn't turn out just right for us. She continues to after we've been in our home for a month. Her instincts are on point. If you are looking for the perfect realtor, look no further. She was punctual, she was diligent, she communicated well, she was organized, and she broke things down in ways that made it very easy to understand. From our initial conversation in September that broached the idea of exploring, to closing escrow by Thanksgiving, Kate made purchasing a home feel easy. My husband and I will never use another realtor. She is a stellar realtor and a fantastic human. We absolutely recommend Kate to anyone and everyone.

I have to tell you about our experience with Kate. But first, I'll tell you that we've bought and…read moresold several properties here in San Diego, we're over 40, and consider ourselves to be well educated in the purchasing and selling of properties. From the onset, Kate showed up on time and well prepared. In fact, more prepared than I've seen anyone, in any prior transition--combined. Her research of the market couldn't have been more accurate, with hindsight as our guide. She presented us with a professional booklet that educated us on the market research in our area, which led us to feel confident in our sales price. With Kate's insight about MLS timing, market patterns, and price we drew more than 50 buyers to our first (and only) open house. That first open house resulted in 2 reputable offers, over our asking price. In addition, a few stragglers came in days after and we settled on an offer that was $70,000 over our asking price. It would be easy to just talk about the money, but Kate and her team were so professional throughout the entire process. There were times that she would reach out to us with updates before we even asked. It's as if she were in our minds, or perhaps she knows what buyers and sellers experience while going through the process. We truly feel that Kate went above and beyond for us and if there were a way to give 6 stars, we would! We can say with confidence that we wholeheartedly believe anyone engaged in real estate transactions should have Kate on their side.

Howard is a good friend and his team are the very best at what they do, so it was an easy choice and the best choice to work with him and his team. We needed some hand holding helping us every step of the way and he went above and beyond our expectations. We found a place we were interested in and also told him the area we wanted to look at which happened to be right next door to our daughters school. There was absolutely no pressure and knowing it's was first time buying, he coached us all the way through. His knowledge of the region and the process was outstanding. We came in with an offer on a house we wanted and he stayed stern on our limit. We got the offer we wanted after going back and forth, well below listing. I'm forever grateful for his patience and work ethic in this process. To both him and his team. The Serene Team. He provided me with an amazing lender who called us the night we checked out the home and approved us. Along with vendors he was on our corner every step of the way. I cannot recommend Howard enough. The next time we purchase and sell, I'll always use him. We got our keys!!!

While I'm originally from San Diego, I'm unfamiliar with the real estate market other than looking at properties on Zillow. While talking to a childhood friend, she recommended her realtor Erin and gave me her number. It felt too intrusive to call her personal cellphone so I decided to go to her website to learn more about her and ultimately decided to call the general number. Well, guess who answered?! lol Erin. I had to mute the phone shortly after she answered because I was awkwardly giggling to myself like a crazy person. I guess I just figured someone from her team would answer so it's funny I ended up talking to her anyway. We had a nice conversation. While I had many questions, she patiently answered them all. She offered locations to consider in my price range, townhomes and single family homes and places that don't charge an HOA. I thought HOA's were only on condo's, derp. Erin demonstrated to me that she's more interested in the relationship than the transaction and I respect that. We went ahead and scheduled an appointment at her office next week so she can help me with planning.

From starting to finish, Erin was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, stress-free and successful for my mom who has never had to deal with selling and buying a home for over 30+ years. Erin is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, communication was always clear and timely, and she responded to all texts and/or emails in a timely matter even while out of town for family event. If it just so happened Erin was not available, she assigned someone from her team to cover in her absence. Erin made sure we were kept in the loop on any information about the property my mom was selling and the one she was purchasing. Erin really catered to my mom's needs and to my husband and my expectations during the process. Overall, Erin made us feel we were the only customer even though we know that is not true. We; my mom, husband and I, are grateful to have found Erin Wade and her team to help my mom sell her home and find her forever home. If you are looking for a great, reliable, friendly and knowledgeable Realtor. Erin Wade is that Realtor. I will definitely call Erin Wade when I am in the market to sell my home.
