Although we did not utilize his services the first time around, he was our primary agent when we closed on our wonderful home. Russ had been very patient with our busy schedules, and he always answered every question to the fullest. During every open house, Russ came prepared with statistical research and pricing on homes around the area for our assurance. We are glad to have had Russ on our side and he made closing on our home much easier to manage. We could not have had a better agent to represent us. Thank you again Russ!

Our journey toward buying our home wasn't easy, but we got through it with great success because we had you by our side. Thank you for your hard work, patience, and diligence along the way, and most of all, thank you for helping us find our dream home.

Where do I begin?!…read more Walid is extremely friendly and patient. However, he is very aggressive in making sure you are getting the best possible outcome. He was referred to me by a friend when moving from Northern California. It was difficult to locate a real estate agent in the San Diego area. I have some experience in real estate so I expect agents I work with to have a high level of experience with multiple types of sales. I am hesitant to work with any agents that don't follow the housing market closely to make sure I am getting the best deal or best return. I was blown away by his knowledge not only in real estate, but in mortgage as well. He will now be the only one receiving my business for buying, selling, or mortgages. I don't know why I never looked for an agent that can do all in one before! It's so much more convenient and takes a lot of stress off on my end. You haven't had a seemless transaction until you've worked with Walid!

I met the owner of San Diego Properties and Investments, James Mabry, back in 2008 trough a friend…read moreof mine who was his customer (a very happy one!). When I started shopping for a condo, it was no question that I wanted to have James help me look as I've heard the greatest things about his team and him. James is the most patient real estate agent I've ever met. He showed me dozens of properties before I made my first offer. He is honest and to the point; he can easily tell you what the pros and cos are, which was very helpful for me as a first time home buyer. Two years later, when I decided to rent my condo for three months during the summer while I was traveling, James managed it and did a great job. I did not have to worry about anything as I knew the condo was in great hands. James's team and James himself are an excellent example of individuals who always go an extra mile to make sure you are happy and have everything you need. We have become good friends over time and I would never use any other realtor but James. If you are looking for a reliable and hardworking realtor/property manager/broker who actually cares, use San Diego Properties & Investments!!!

Here is our story with San Diego Properties and Investments, and James Mabry: We started thinking…read moreabout buying our first house in around Feb 2012. So, I started asking James a lot of questions. I have never bought a real estate before and I knew almost nothing about the entire process of buying a house. James answered all my questions with clear explanations and good examples. Being an engineer, I value that an answer is clear, data driven and direct. James impressed me with his knowledge not only about real estate but also relevant subjects such as mortgage, economy, real estate market etc. Then, we decided to buy the house in Rancho Bernardo which is not very close to where SDPI is. For almost 2 years, James came to Rancho Bernardo and surrounding area whenever we found a house that we like. He was always well informed about the houses we looked at and frequently advised us not to make an offer because either he saw a problem with the house or he thought the price was too high. The ones he told us not to miss and make an offer right away, became "pending" always within a few days. Eventually we found a house and made an offer (after missing a few good ones). The time period from the offer to the day we moved in was also a big struggle. There was a problem between the bank and the HOA about the insurance of the house. Although the problem was not related to SDPI, James worked really hard to help resolving the problem. Finally, we happily moved into our first home with lots of appreciation to James and his company for everything he did. In general, the first thing that comes to my mind about James is trust. I was always confident that whatever he tells me, he was honest about it and was thinking in our best interest, rather than trying to make a little more money for his company. Throughout the process I also witnessed that he helped many people without any expectations in return, even people he met for the first time. He is also very knowledgeable and disciplined about anything he does. Another cool thing is that he is a techie. He incorporates technology into what he does and he does it well. All in all, I feel that because he is a real San Diegan, he treats everyone he works with as his neighbor so you always have this comfortable feeling about what he says and does.
