Do realtors get Yelp reviews? My wife and I could not have…read morebeen more pleased with the job Nikki did for us. She was attentive, informative, and most importantly acted as our advocate. Nikki knew what questions needed to be asked and helped guide our home buying process. Nikki went the extra mile and met vendors at the house when our schedules didn't allow it, was always free when we had yet another question and was firm in advising us what we needed to do and what she thought was fair. When visiting open houses, we've mentioned to other agents that we were working with Nikki and even they thought she was terrific. I can't imagine that is a normal response. Nikki has recommendations for any vendors you may need as well. She doesn't force them on you but as an option. We wound up using most all of them as she only recommended those she had a solid history with. They were all stellar. We couldn't have been happier with the service we received and will be forever grateful.

I have worked alongside hundreds of realtors within my profession as I operate a mobile notary service throughout San Diego County. Time and time again I see happy clients within Nikki Butera's transactions. It's said that we tend to operate best with the people that share our values. If you are looking for a real estate professional who is well-versed, thoughtful, genuine, delivering quality service, and cares for their work... It's Nikki! I find her clients are informed, confident, and enthusiastic within her care! She works courteously with the vendors inside a transaction while commanding a higher level of service that exceeds expectations, making everyone proud of a job well done. Nikki gets 10 stars!

I contacted Gregg Phillipson for a showing of a home for sale. That went well, so I made an offer,…read morewhich was accepted. Then the fun part began: the home inspection. There were several findings and Gregg used his pool of professionals to come up with reasonable dollar amounts to request from the seller as compensation for needed repairs. With this thorough documentation in hand, the seller agreed to every penny. I then retained Gregg's services for the sale of my old home. With an acceptable offer quickly received, I swapped roles as my buyers submitted a dollar amount request for compensation based on the results of their inspection of my home. Skeptic that I am, I half expected Gregg to just say, "Remember how it went down when you bought? Just pay them what they're asking and be done with it." But no. As we talked, he keyed on my comment that I had employed the same roofing company throughout my years of ownership and he suggested that I have that roofer inspect my home and provide a repair estimate that might well be lower than what the buyers' inspector quoted. Sure enough, that turned out to be the case, allowing me to counter the buyers' request with supporting documentation in hand, saving me money when they agreed. I'm always a little leery when I hear boasts such as "#1 agent in East County," which is what Gregg's signs read. But you get something with Gregg that you don't get with the mega-agencies that advertise all over radio. When you call Gregg, you get Gregg. Evenings, weekends, whenever (though I never tried 3 a.m.). He's quick to respond, even if he doesn't have an answer right then & there. It will come soon. Yes, he has a team that works for him and I had interactions with all of them, but if I ever wanted to speak to the big guy, I could. And service continues even after he's been paid. For example, when Kamps Propane was gullibly convinced by the former owners (or their agent) to bill me for the gas remaining in their tanks at the time of the sale (even though our sales contract explicitly stated otherwise), I contacted Gregg. He wrote out and hand-delivered a check to me that same day to cover the charge, saying he'd work it out with the sellers and their agent later. When I had a question about the effects of the recently passed Prop 19 on my new property tax bill that Gregg couldn't answer, he arranged a free phone consultation for me with his CPA, who was able to explain the new law to me.

Almost 20 years in real estate and I'd heard the name Gregg Phillipson, hadn't met the man. Then over two years ago, I was hired as Broker of his office. We met and I was startled as to how "real" this man was, just a guy. Words to describe Gregg: Honest, Unpretentious, Straightforward, Caring, and Professional. Easy to talk with. We've had numerous conversations over the past couple of years and I began to look back on our talks to answer this question, "What makes a Great REALTOR®?" What separates the Best from all of the rest? Three things: (1.) They are great Communicators. (2.) They fully understand the Contracts, which allows them to out negotiate the uneducated. (3.) They genuinely Care about their Clients. Gregg has these three qualities in abundance. I call them the three C's of success, and began teaching it in my classes, using Gregg as an example. He's one of a kind, and I am proud to have him in our office and in our profession. Thinking about selling, buying, or investing in real estate? You deserve the Best, do yourself a favor and give Gregg a call - you'll be happy you did.

Lyndie did an amazing job for us!! We met her at an open house when we didn't have an agent yet…read moreand decided to choose her because we liked her honesty, friendliness, and work ethic. I can barely begin to describe all of the headaches that Lyndie saved us from by navigating issues with sellers, putting in and responding to offers, and taking care of complicated paperwork. We really needed someone to be on our side through all of the negotiations and she really came through for us! Plus, every question we threw her way she had an experienced answer for and she was able to provide excellent recommendations and took care of scheduling any external inspection services we needed. She was also very extremely patient when searching for the exact property we wanted. We probably visited 60+ properties and were worried about demanding so much of her attention, but Lyndie was always there for us and it was never a problem no matter how many properties we looked at--she never gave up on us and helped us keep going when we hit setbacks. We felt like we were her only clients (though we know for sure we weren't!) We truly are living in our dream home and I know this would have never been possible without her help! Thank you so much, Lyndie!!

She will listen to all your questions and concerns and hash it out with you, and in the end you will -- because by now, you have the mantra -- just do whatever Tanya says. Lyndie is also patient and knowledgeable, I would highly recommend her if you are the first time home buyer! In general, for any buyers/investor!

I purchased a home in Sugar loaf...it had a beautiful deck/patio. The listing had pictures of it which attracted me & my husband. She does most of her business in San diego where her office is located and my agent did let me know it might not be the easiest to negotiate. Rania was not only very slow to respond, she was quite rude as well. Im thinking it wasn't one of her more expensive listings so it was less of a priority. Let's get back to this illegal deck. No record of being built. No permit ...not even any records of an application! In order for us to get it permitted with the County of San Bernardino it would cost 3900-6000 ! They want a licensed engineer to draw out all plans of preexisting structure! We had to tear it down! This has been a headache since the moment we closed going back and forth with the county. Did I mention that they also told us it was used as a vacation rental? There was no record of it being used as a short term rental. Lies lies lies. Rania thanks for nothing! Thank heavens for my amazing Agent for helping us throughout yhe process with recommendations. The damage was already done though so do yourself a favor and make sure if you buy one of her listings make sure you check all permitting! Better yet...DON'T BUY ANY OF HER LISTINGS... you may save yourself headache or two!

I planned to be there after hearing the buyers had some functional questions. I'd discussed this with my agent beforehand, and understood it's fairly common. But when I opened the door, before I could say anything, jaime became very upset. After telling me I needed to leave, she pushed past me, stepping in and waived the aghast buyers in behind her. She stood there in the middle of my home, got on her phone and started calling me names. All of this right in front of me. In my own home. Escrow was not closing for a while yet. I told her she needed to leave, I'd had enough. She refused She continued to insist that it was in the contract that I couldn't be there. (which my agent later refuted). I then called my agent and was considering calling the police. Her threats only made me want to cancel the sale, regardless of consequences. My house had received many offers very quickly and I knew it would sell to someone else. Her behavior was unnecessary and outrageous. BTW, I'm a senior citizen, a single female and a retired RN with a cardiac condition. And yes, I had chest pain. This was very distressing. I did ask my agent to report this to the realtor licensing board and ensure that jaime's broker was aware.

She helped calm my wife who was pregnant at the time by being a good listener and a woman who seeks out the solution to a problem. Jaimie even helped us by taking our donation items to Goodwill in order to help our move. Jaimie gave us excellent guidance and recommendations throughout both the buying and selling processes. She is A+ in our book!
