I've been toying with the idea to buy an investment property in the San Diego area over the next…read more1-2 years (assuming rates go down to affordable levels). 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.

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.

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!
