I am currently in the middle of my third real estate transaction with Gary (buying our first home,…read moreselling it now, and buying our new place). I am someone who analyzes every detail and worries about the numbers, so I needed a strategic partner, not just a salesperson. What stands out most is Gary's integrity. During our search, he actually advised us against buying certain homes because he spotted drawbacks I had missed or knew they wouldn't fit our long-term goals. He wasn't trying to close a quick deal; he wanted to make sure the move was actually worth it for us - that we were getting more square footage, accounting for a possible growing family, and other things we've mentioned to him. When it came to selling our current home, I really appreciated how realistic he was about the price. Instead of promising us an inflated number just to get the listing, he gave us a brutally honest, data-backed valuation. He manages expectations perfectly so there are no surprises later. It's honestly wild how dialed-in he is to the San Diego market. He's been doing this for decades, and it shows! He walks into a house and predicts almost exactly what it would sell for (and he was always right). He knew exactly how to negotiate so we didn't overpay, showed us off-market homes we never would have seen on Zillow, and knew precisely when to strike to get our offer accepted. We've talked with other agents through open houses we've casually walked through, but watching Gary work is different; he pulls off these complex moves effortlessly and with such a good nature that you almost forget how sharp the strategy actually is. We are currently trusting him with the complex process of buying and selling simultaneously, and having someone who will give you the unvarnished truth is invaluable. If you want an agent who protects your interests over his commission, Gary is the one.

We've worked with Gary for years (he helped us buy our first home, too), and there is a reason we…read morekeep coming back. Other agents we ran into at open houses felt like they just wanted to push us into buying or selling, Gary does the opposite. There were multiple houses we thought we liked that Gary gently steered us away from because he pointed out issues we hadn't noticed: like noise levels or layout problems that would have driven us crazy later. He spent a lot of time making sure this move made sense for our lives before we ever signed a paper. He treats his clients like family, meaning he protects you even when it slows down the process. He makes the stressful parts feel manageable. If you want someone who is chill, honest, and actually has your back when things get complicated, Gary is your guy.

We just got through our first home purchase with Dan and I can promise you that when you work with…read morehim you will find a thoughtful, patient, and hard working agent. Being that this was our first purchase, there was a lot we didn't know and a whole lot more that we didn't know that we didn't know. Dan took the time to carefully explain out any questions we had and was proactive in explaining any situations we found ourselves in. I highly recommend you use Dan as your real estate agent.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Dan Tomasi of Douglas Elliman as the selling…read moreagent for our home. Dan proceeded very professionally by being clear and concise about the selling process from paperwork, to marketing, staging, and market analysis. Dan Tomasi is very knowledgeable with analyzing market stats and staying up to date with the shifts and is a good negotiator. I absolutely loved the various marketing tools from photos to videos including drone videos. Good marketing is a must in today's real estate market. Being the seller and going through the process of staging, showing the home, etc. is not an easy task. Dan was extremely supportive and collaborative in his approach. Dan always kept us well informed throughout the process and was so fun to work with. Dan's team was amazing. On time, on task, and on a mission! They were just as great to work with as Dan was. They always kept us clearly informed throughout the entire process. Selling your home is rather personal. It is more than just selling your home. It is your "real" estate and is something each and every one of us value in a very personal way. It is significant and meaningful to our existence. Dan Tomasi facilitated a meaningful experience for me and my husband and for that we will always be grateful. The value he placed on the importance of our home made us feel comfortable from beginning to end. Hands down Dan Tomasi and his team will always have our recommendation!

I have been working with real estate agents for 20+ years. James Dye is the best real estate agent…read moreI have ever known. He help me to buy a home a couple years ago. Now he just closed a sale for me as a listing agent. James inspected the house and gave me a list of what he recommended to be done to get the best price. After that, he helped me to contact all reliable professionals to do the work. Within the 1st day on the market, we had 5 buyers come to see the house and got 3 offers at the end of the very same day - all above the asking price! The 2nd day on the market, we had 5 more buyers to come, and got a few new offers; and 2 return buyers from the 1st day of showings came and presented all new offers. From all the offers (from 2 days of showings) we chose 4 offers which were $100,000+ above the asking price for the house in its as-is conclusion - the chosen buyer came $120,000 above the asking price, full cash, all contingencies removed, escrow was closed in less than 2 weeks! BTW - we had 2 back-up offers, just in case if something will not work right with the first buyer; all the offers were $100,000+ above my asking price. I have never experienced anything like that before. Fantastic! When you have the best agent, you have the best outcome!

You simply cannot beat his professionalism, experience-based knowledge, and responsiveness. It had been an arduous time for the family and it was especially important to us that the home move quickly and easily; at a good price. James came through for us. James sat down with us to discuss and understand our particular needs and preferences and informed us what our options were. From beginning to end he was always available to answer questions and address any concerns. We would highly recommend James to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy real estate agent, especially during a vulnerable time.

This was our second time working with Jason. After 5 wonderful years in San Diego, we decided to…read moremake the move back to Chicago to be closer to family.

We wanted to work with Jason again given his expertise in the business and his ability to meet tight timelines.

If someone in San Diego is looking to work with a realtor who knows what he is doing, has good relationships/contacts, and wants to check all their boxes, Jason is your guy. We would recommend Jason to any friends/family in San Diego and other places!

I can't recommend Jason enough for anyone looking to buy a home! From the moment we met, Jason made…read morethe entire process so easy and stress-free. He truly understands his clients' needs and never tries to pressure you into making a decision. He was incredible at showing us homes that perfectly aligned with what we were looking for, and within less than a month, we were already in escrow! Jason's communication was impeccable--he was quick to reply to any questions we had and kept us informed every step of the way. His professionalism and knowledge of Scripps Ranch really set him apart. Not only did he manage to negotiate our home below asking price (which is practically unheard of in this market), but he even went above and beyond by introducing us to our future neighbors before we moved in to help us get a feel for the community vibe. If you're looking for a well-connected, professional agent who knows Scripps Ranch inside and out and will go the extra mile for you, Jason is the one to work with!

I've been using SD Discount Property Manager for well over 10 years across multiple rental…read moreproperties, and they have been absolutely outstanding. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail have consistently exceeded my expectations. One of the biggest benefits has been the incredibly low vacancy rate.

Maintenance requests are handled efficiently, repairs are completed without unnecessary delays, and service costs have always been fair and reasonable. Managing rental properties from a distance can be stressful, but SD Discount Property Management has made it virtually worry-free. After more than a decade as a customer, I can confidently say they've earned my complete trust. I genuinely couldn't ask for a better property management company and recommend them without hesitation.

In addition to working with Erik on 3 of his top 4 investment sales transactions, I've witnessed Erik bring the same attention to detail and focus on leased properties which include industrial, retail and office buildings.

I was surprised he had less than five years in the business. He operates like a well oiled machine, very smooth, as if he's sold hundreds of properties. He is also a great communicator! This skill is much needed in a industry where people tend to hide behind their phones, emails or texts. He kept in touch for good and bad news which shows great integrity. In this transaction he seemed as if he wanted the greater good for everyone and worked hard on both sides. Gonna keep this guy in my network and I recommend that you add him to yours!
