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.

As a military family coordinating return from deployment overseas, as well as a move across the…read morecountry upon return, we were unable to tour houses in person and yet needed a place to land before starting the next tour in Southern California. Despite this, Robyn Goodkind (virtually) took us through, in immaculate detail, each of the homes that we were interested, as well as proposed lovely options tailored to our family's budget, wants, and needs. Each house she toured with us she set out pros and cons of cost-to-value, location, and any architectural nuances. She was more than open to discussion and feedback given some of the unorthodox interests and pets we have. She helped us pursue some houses that she advised caution against, and when it didn't work out, where "I told you so" would have been apropos, she was ever graceful and helped us to pivot and rebound quickly! Ultimately, the house that she recommended highest was the one we decided upon; however, once the paperwork was signed (remotely), when most folks cut ties and run, she was just getting started. She went through great lengths after closing to ensure that the house was move-in-ready. Now, having unpacked and settled for a short while, we are ready to take on our next chapter, and we owe it, sincerely, to Robyn. Thank you Robyn!! ( o o )

We were working with a lender, getting deep into the process. Our offer was accepted, we put a good faith deposit down and we were now in escrow. Once we received the loan estimate from our lender, we still owed about $8k on top of our good faith deposit. That just didn't sit well with us. In a roundabout way, we got Mike's contact info, and reached out to him on a Friday. He worked tirelessly all weekend and got us extremely better numbers. Not only did he save us almost $28k, but he also explains EVERYTHING. We've never bought a home before so there were a lot of things we hadn't seen before that we had questions on. Mike would go line by line on the loan estimate and other documents on the phone with us. Although we switched lenders mid escrow, Mike was so prompt in his work and extremely diligent, that we closed only ONE DAY after our initial estimated close day. If you're looking for a home, this is your guy. Working with Mike will be one of the best decisions you'll make when looking for your next home.
