Highly recommend!

I worked with Kimberly recently when I bought my first condo. She was extremely welcoming and…read moreinformative, and made the intimidating experience of buying my first place a very pleasant one. I felt she advocated for me at all the right points of the process, and educated me on many important aspects of buying a home and home ownership in general. She got me a great deal on a really cute condo in Mission Hills, and I still feel very satisfied with the whole process and with my new home! I would definitely recommend hiring Kimberly to help you buy or sell your home. Five Stars!

And call Chris Roberts, he is a real agent who came highly recommended. I'll be honest, I do have high expectations, so when my 3 other friends told he was great... I still wasn't sold. But then they told what he had accomplished for them. Since I believe in facts rather than opinions, I knew he was the right guy for me. Long story short, he found us the perfect home for us in less than 2 months. We got it for 20k under asking price and we received more credits that asked for. Because he found a loophole!! Trust me this guy money!!!

I am the trustee of a Trust that needed to sell a residence in the Rancho Arbolitos area in Poway…read more I interviewed several real estate agents, all of whom were well qualified, but I chose Chris for several reasons. I highly recommend Chris for your real estate needs. I signed a listing agreement with Chris just before the coronavirus turned horrific. It was understood that the house could not be actively marketed until a very large number of personal property items were sold or otherwise removed from the residence. Unfortunately, at the time I signed the listing agreement we did not realize that conducting a sale of personal property during coronavirus restrictions would be much delayed. Finally, many months later the personal property was sold and repairs and cosmetic improvements could be started. The residence was in good physical condition, but out of date. Chris recommended that we spend some money to re-tile bathrooms, re-carpet almost all of the rest of the house, remove wallpaper and re-paint all interior walls. He recommended excellent contractors for this work and these improvements were all made timely and at reasonable prices. I am confident that these upgrades were beneficial in both obtaining a better net price and a faster sale. As soon as the upgrades were completed, Chris, at his expense, had a videographer film a high quality presentation of the residence. All of this work resulted in numerous showings and multiple offers for the residence. Chris guided me through the counter-offers and we quickly signed an agreement that unfortunately fell through when a financial problem arose for the buyer that was not known at the time the buyer was prequalified. Original interested parties were contacted and new prospects looked at the house. We promptly signed an agreement with a new buyer at a higher price. With Chris's help, all of these matters were timely accomplished. Chris recommended an excellent escrow company and the sale was completed and the proceeds received even though we were out of town on a long-planned trip. Throughout the entire listing, contractor upgrades, negotiations, disclosures and escrow, Chris provided excellent advice that assisted me in meeting my fiduciary responsibilities to the Trust beneficiaries. I have purchased numerous properties over the years, but I am extremely pleased that I used Chris's advice throughout this transaction. I strongly recommend Chris.

I recently worked with Rick Solo (Villalobos and Solo Realty and Lending Group) in selling a condo…read more The service I received from Rick was exceptional and by far the best real estate experience I have ever had. From the time of our first meeting to the end of Escrow, Rick and the team provided five-star service. Rick was professional, honest, transparent and incredibly knowledgeable about the current market and strategies for moving forward. I needed to upgrade and make some improvement in the condo prior to listing, and Rick took care of everything with design, purchases, contractors, expense tracking and necessary oversite. He kept me informed every step of the way and always respected my input. As a result, we had a healthy return on the investment when the house sold within 2 weeks of being listed. I know that if, and when, I sell another property, he will be my first choice. To summarize, Villalobos and Solo Realty are the best! James L.

Rick Sauer with Windermere Homes & Estates was truly exceptional. I met him through a trusted…read morefriend, and I was impressed with his level of knowledge and the amount of data that he had about the market. I was interested in selling a family member's condo who was moved into assisted living, and had not maintained the property; the family wanted to sell the condo as is, since we were not in the position to put in the time or money required to sell at the market rate. Obviously, making informed decisions is the most important part of selling a home. The condo needed to be sold in a short period of time, and Rick suggested listing it as an investment property to best meet our needs. Rick had previously helped sell a home in a very similar situation, and I trusted his guidance. Rick went above and beyond, to ensure the property was listed with the best possible description and photos. Before listing the condo, Rick suggested cleaning out the clutter and garbage that was left in the condo to get the best offer possible. When there were concerns about how the property looked inside, Rick offered to remove trash to improve the showing- who does that?  But this just speaks to his commitment to making sure we were well taken care of. He listed the condo, and had two offers immediately; he discussed the pros and cons of each offer with me, and I took Rick's suggestion, leading to a straightforward cash sale, and quick close of escrow. His cool, calm mindset kept my anxiety low and gave me the confidence he would get the job done - and he did! First meeting to close of escrow in 3 weeks! I have bought and sold properties before, and I can honestly say that Rick was ALWAYS available for me to answer questions, and ensure agents were able to tour the condo. Rick made me feel at ease with the whole process, and demonstrated empathy and compassion for the challenging situation I was dealing with. Rick's responsiveness was incredible. If he didn't pick up, he always called back no longer than 5 minutes later, or if I texted him a question, he would often respond in 2 minutes or less. Seriously. I was selling the condo as is, and time was of the essence; Rick understood the current market, and understood the price needed. The delivery of the information was straightforward: present the info and talk about pros/cons/strategy for moving forward. He really cared about our family, and needs in a difficult situation - I felt like he looked out for me and had my best interests in mind. I truly appreciated his input and relied on it heavily. This is an invaluable quality to have as a service provider and not everyone has it. It's easy to push paper and get the signatures, but Rick is really focused on making sure people are satisfied through the process and with the outcome. But as you can see, based on the above, Rick went above and beyond (as I'm positive he does with all of his clients) and truly made me feel like I had a partner throughout. Rick Sauer is AWESOME! He made the selling process so easy and helped me understand what was happening every step of the way. Rick Sauer will work with you to make your desires a reality. Rick is also very well versed at dealing with other real estate agents. His promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness, and good energy made a potentially chaotic sale process simple. I've already recommended him to two of my good friends, and if looking to buy or sell again I will not hesitate to call Rick Sauer.Looking for the best Realtor who "does more"--and makes you feel like your needs are first priority-Rick Sauer is your person.  Thank you so much, Rick!

We were always impressed by Gabino's great personality and family values, as well as, his organizational skills and persistence. There are few realtors or people you'll encounter who are genuinely vested in your best interests but Gabino is that person. Gabino made sure everyone involved in the transaction was on the same page and walked us through each step of a very intricate process.

He always answered questions I had throughout the process, and updated me whenever a change was made. I highly recommend you choose Ivan if you are the type of person who wants to be informed about everything, like I do. He was also very quick to respond to texts, and worked on counter offers immediately, sometimes late at night, to get me the best chance possible. The final escrow period was really complicated and stressful, but Ivan was really good about keeping up with the uncommunicative sellers and getting them to agree to things. He seems to also know a lot of people in the industry, so he has a lot of good relationships with seller agents, and is able to get deals made. I also worked with Patty, a showing agent, who was very knowledgeable and a delight to look at homes with. She was always honest about the pros and cons of a house, and always had all the details I needed to know. She went above and beyond in driving me all around San Diego, and helping me figure out what I wanted in a home. Highly recommend the Beer team, and especially these two, when buying a home.
