David helped me buy a condo in San Diego Downtown. I am so happy that I was able to buy my dream property at a reasonable price and the entire process was extremely smooth and stress free. In fact I feel that the buying process was even enjoyable. David's extensive knowledge and expertise in the San Diego real estate market was very helpful choosing the right property. He is readily available to respond by e-mail, text or even phone call. I also worked with Kevin when David was not available. Both of them are very professional and easy to work with. I appreciated it. David was a buyer agent when I sold my home last year. I was impressed by his professional work and the extremely smooth transaction. Buyer was also very happy with David's work. That was why I asked him to be my buying agent this time. I am glad that I did. I highly recommend David if you need to buy or sell your home. I will definitely come back to him when I need a realtor next time. read more

Greater Good Realty - Real Estate Services Near Me - San Diego, California

We were first-time home buyers and got the opportunity to work with David. He was wonderful, very friendly, and helped us get a beautiful home! read more

My husband and I live downtown, and I've walked by Greater Good Realty's office for several years. I was always impressed that they donate 10% of their commissions to local charities... thought it spoke to their character. We recently had an opportunity to use their services, and they lived up to, and surpassed our expectations. They were professional, knowledgeable, responsive, super kind, and got results for us fast. We had to move out of state, and needed to rent our condo downtown. Within 2 weeks, GGR got it rented to a super couple with amazing credit scores and jobs. After a month, the couple (who was in the military) were deployed, and had to break the lease. Holly & David found us a new tenant within a week, and didn't charges us additional commission. I found them to be very fair, as I can imagine other agencies would want another fee to find a replacement tenant. Holly & David are great at their profession, and wonderful to work with! Not to mention they have a super cool office! I highly recommend them. read more

My experience working with realtor Zachary Hohl was beyond excellent. Zachary proved himself to be trustworthy from the outset. He displayed a high degree of professionalism, integrity and expertise in the industry. I found his authenticity and diligence refreshing.

I wanted to thank David and his team for making the process of buying a house so easy for us. From first meeting until end he've been so professional, helpful, patient. He was never pushy on any decision, will always point the good and not so good details in the houses we've been going through, was not sugarcoating(which I LOVE). Walk us through every step I think multiple time, as a first time owners everything seems so confusing. But they did a great job make it easy for us. Thank you read more

David Stone and Greater Good Realty take boutique Real Estate representation to the next level. Their professional follow up, response and contract negotiation skills help get their clients in fast and ensure smooth closing. I have had the pleasure of working with mutual clients of David's in the past and am always happy to work with their group. As far as location, office and lifestyle - what could be better? The Greater Good Realty office is in the heart of the Downtown Marina District and steps from Seaport Village, the new Headquarters and all that downtown has to offer. I recommend anyone passing though downtown walk by their office and peek at the listing and information posted in their windows. Better yet, open the door and engage David and his staff - you won't be disappointed. read more

I recently purchased a condo Downtown San Diego and worked with David Stone and his team at Greater Good Realty. David was my realtor and primary point of contact but I did have the chance to work with Kevin and Monica on his team. Everyone was fantastic to work with -- Each person was highly knowledgeable and provided fast responses for all matters or inquiries. I highly recommend giving David a call next time you are in need of a trustworthy realtor. read more

David was extremely helpful in my home search. He kindly answered my many questions, even when I had already asked the same question on multiple occasions. His connections and persistence with other realtors was the key in purchasing the condo I wanted. He offered guidance without pressure to help me find the right home. I'm thrilled that I found David to help me find a place of my own, and I would highly recommend his services. read more

Bottom line: David and Monica are the best realty team in San Diego, and I highly recommend you consult with them for your next real estate need(s). My wife and I used Greater Good to rent our house out a few years ago, and that's when we discovered David and his team. Our impression from that initial meeting convinced us that David and Monica were what we were looking for in a realtor. Since then, we've used them two more times, including to sell our home. Each time, they made us feel like we were their only client, and the personal attention they paid to us made all three experiences very pleasant, and, most importantly, stress-free. We know we plan to use them again in the future. I concur with the other positive Yelp reviews for Greater Good, they all reflect the same experience we had. Again, I highly recommend you give David a call and let him take care of you. read more

We had a tall ask when looking for a realtor, we needed to find a home and close all within 30 days and David made it happen! He is incredibly friendly and responsive not to mention patient. Anytime we wanted to view a home he made it happen. He spent extra time talking us through each property and answering any questions we had along the way. As first time home buyers we really relied on his expertise and it paid off we found our dream home. He is well respected and connected in the industry which truly makes the home buying a seamless process. Monica is equally as friendly and responsive and got us through all the paperwork in a snap, she also took the time to answer any question and her follow up was always on point. As a team they are fantastic and left us feeling like an extension of their family. I would recommend them to everyone as they are true professionals! read more

Attentive, kind, realistic, available and hip! We would absolutely recommend David and his team...unmatched service. We were looking for a fantastic realtor and found not only that, but a good friend. I was drawn to Greater Good from out of state because they give back to the community and the ease of using their online home search engine. We are lucky to have found David for the complicated CA home buying process, we LOVE our new SOCAL home! read more

The thought of buying our first home was exciting, scary and stressful all at once. Luckily we found David from Greater Good Reality who made the entire process so simple.

I had the great experience of working with Rima in the purchase of my downtown condo. She even went to great lengths to help me find a new tenant for the rental I vacated. From start to finish my experience with Rima and the entire team at Greater Good was 5-star. So, if finding the right property quickly, and at the right price is important to you, then give Rima and the Greater Good Realtors a call. read more

We had the best house buying experience with David Stone! He made buying our first home not as scary as we anticipated. He was direct and informative. He treated us with respect and honesty. I'm certain the process would not have gone as smooth with other agents. David made himself totally available to us for questions, showings or information. He still continues to be a helpful resource in understanding our investment. I could not recommend him any higher! Also he donates 10% of his commission to charity. So he must be a nice guy.... Thanks David! read more

Greater Good Realty is neither Greater nor Good. We had worked with them on a rental that THEY own. We were within hours of signing the lease and the Broker (David Stone) sent an email to say they sold it out from under us. He didn't even have the guts to call rather he just emailed. We spent a weeks negotiating a long term lease. My family was left in a very difficult spot. Apparently when talking to other knowledgable Brokers in downtown San Diego market this guy has done this to them too. As it relates to their "giving back", their owner even said to me "when looking for a marketing gimmick, giving back seemed a thing to push. Gimmick,,, Really? It now makes perfect sense. There are a lot of very ethical, resourceful real estate Brokers in the downtown San Diego market. You would be well served NOT to chose Greater Good Realty. read more

I don't write many reviews, but I had to write a review on David Stone and Greater Good Realty. David is a professional through and through. I've dealt with him on the selling and buying side. He's responsive, caring, diligent, and savvy. He will go out of his way to ensure his client's get the best. Oh, and like a true professional, he stays in touch with his clients well after the deal closes to make certain they are still satisfied, and to remain friends. For the downtown market and anywhere nearby, I definitely recommend David for any of your Real Estate needs. read more

David Stone and his Greater Good Realty proved to be as good as it gets when seeking property in the San Diego area! I did months of research before I chose David to act as my real estate agent in buying property in San Diego. As an out of state buyer, integrity, responsiveness, and timely communications were critical components I needed from my real estate agent. David proved a flawless choice. David quickly grasped what my needs and desires were for acquiring a vacation/retirement property in downtown San Diego. He expertly arranged for me to view over 30 properties during my short visit from the East Coast. He provided expert hands-on attention and care throughout the buying process. He always made me feel like I was his most important client. His successful negotiating experience and well-established reputation within the Southern California real estate community made all the difference. From start to finish David utilized superior market analytics to locate the right property to meet my needs. Additionally, he furnished sound useful professional advice greatly assisting me in selecting a property, as well as, during negotiations. David clearly understood my budget and financing parameters ensuring we stayed within them when negotiating the final sale price. In short order, I was able to find a property that met all my requirements at a market value well below my budget. In summary, David demonstrated he cared more about my priorities and goals over a potential commission. David and his team at Greater Good Realty proved they had the necessary traits - integrity, knowledge, experience, reputation, and solid communications to find me exactly what I was looking for at a price well within budget. Without question, I would utilize David's services again if ever I were in the market to buy or sell a property in the greater San Diego area. Thank you David for all your invaluable assistance! read more

Words cannot begin to express what a positive experience I had with David, Monica and everyone else in the office whom interacted with me during my search and purchase of my condo Downtown! I know what it is like to work with a realtor who is not helpful and makes you do all the work. But David made the whole buying experience very positive and pleasant, explained things as we went along and gave me a sense that he was here to help me find my perfect fit of a home within my budget. He referred me to a very helpful financial organization that is very experienced with VA loans. Even after the closing, he continued to show such genuine kindness and generosity by leaving a welcome basket on my kitchen counter (something that I thought only happens on TV shows!) and also sent me a personalized address stamp. If I'm ever in the market again, or if someone I know who is in the market, I will definitely refer them to Greater Good Realty! read more

This is what I found to be valuable after working with David for a while. He is available all the time. We looked at places evenings, weekends, whenever. He is knowledgeable, but knows that the key is that you understand what to look for, what to think about, what to consider. He's not just going to say let me handle this, or yeah I'm going to find you the place of your dreams, that part is up to you, and the decision is up to you. You are buying the place, he just happens to have a lot of experience and can help you become aware of the things that might be important to you, and the things to pay attention to. He's not a car salesman and is not going to BS you. He is the right kind of guy to have there to confide in when you want to decide how much to offer or how much a place is worth, but a lot of that is purely dependent on you. There is a reasonable range at which places will be priced, but beyond that it is totally subjective. Good luck ! read more

I worked with David to purchase my first home in San Diego. Although I've owned lots of properties in the past in Philadelphia, PA, I had never purchased in CA. David is a skilled negotiator and advisor - he guided me through the unfamiliar process and helped me get a good deal on the house. Beyond that, he's simply a pleasure to do business with. His office team is great too - very patient with my many questions!! I recommend Greater Good without reservation for any real estate transaction. read more

David Stone is intelligent, knowledgeable, experienced, an excellent negotiator, a cool-cat hipster, and a great calmer downer. I would not do a future residential real estate deal without him. I met few members of his team, particurarly Rima Rhodey, and all made a similarly great impression. read more

My wife and I recently completed the purchase of a condo with the help of David Stone and Greater Good Realty and had an excellent experience. David was knowledgable about the local real estate market and more than able to answer our questions as well as provide a bit more information about each property than we would have been able to find during an online search. He was patient and we didn't feel any pressure to rush into a decision with which we were not comfortable. Once we found the home that we were interested in, it was a short sale and made doubly complicated by the multiple liens against the property, but David kept us sane throughout the process. He was patient with us as we waited through about six months of negotiation (all on the short sale side of the transaction) and as things came together he did a great job putting all of the final pieces in place to make sure that the closing happened successfully just before the holidays. We can't recommend David highly enough, he and the Greater Good team really made the process of buying a home manageable and we couldn't be happier with the result. Thank you! read more

Both David and Monica are AMAZING. I wanted a fast moving team who could help me find a place quickly and close before 30 days. David recommended a lender to me and the combination of the lender and David/Monica is exactly what I wanted!! David completely worked around my schedule and showed me houses as quickly as I wanted to see them and it seemed like it didn't even matter the time of day. I found the house I wanted after 2 days of working with David and by day 3 or 4, my offer had been accepted and escrow opened. Monica is so on top of everything and so wonderful to work with!! THe process of buying a house can be so stressful on so many people, and this team has worked so hard for me to ensure that I didn't feel much of that stress (of course, there was a little)! Even my dad commented that this is the smoothest home purchase he has ever seen. All I can say is you won't be dissatisfied with this team!! They are so on top of everything, so responsive and all-in-all, a top notch team!! read more
