We met Jorge through Brittany who is my client and his assistant. I told her that we weren't happy with our relator and would like to meet Jorge. Basically, we wanted to sell our townhouse and buy a house in San Diego Unified school district. We also wanted a yard. They came so prepared to the meeting in our house. They already handpicked properties and went through them. I was impressed with that because most realtors will add you to the mailing list and you get all the listings, you go through them and tell them which ones you want to see. We needed to time it right where we sell and buy at the same time to avoid renting in between. This is stressful but Jorge handled it very well. He was always accommodating whenever we wanted to see a property. Even when he went out of town, he made sure his friend ( works at the same company) was available. Jorge was so knowledgeable about the areas we were interested in which helped a lot. Whenever we wanted to put an offer on a house, he will run comps to see if that house is worth the asking price. Then he will give us an advice to proceed or not. He was always communicating with the other realtors and following up with them. Again he was just on top of things. We sold our house within a week. The photos his photographer took for our place were AMAZING. made us rethink and keep it lol He even referred us to this nice amazing cleaning lady for what he called it " deep cleaning ". So the house looked super nice for the open house and whoever wanted to see it later. We finally found our dream home that checked all the boxes. They were on top of things and showed it to us the day it hit the market!. San Diego's market isn't easy for buyers because of the low inventory. Which creates a war whenever a nice property hits the market. He was aggressive, we made the offer the day it hit the market full price and we go it. Him and our amazing loan officer, Desiree Lowe made a miracle happen to close both escrows one day apart. They would have closed on the same day , which almost doesn't happen often, except the buyers had delay at their end paperwork wise. We highly recommend Jorge and Brittany. Specially in a market like San Diego's. read more

I am lucky to have randomly found Jorge by searching recently sold homes in the area my wife and I were looking. We had some very important questions that needed to be answered before we can make a decision on buying a property, and even though we already had an agent, I wanted another opinion. Jorge not only took the time to answer my questions, but went above and beyond with additional info and invaluable advice while knowing he would not make any money on the deal and he was just genuinely trying to help out. It is very rare to find people like this nowadays and due to his expertise, we felt more comfortable with ultimately making the decision we made. If you have Jorge has an agent, consider yourself fortunate. read more

When it comes to the San Diego market our budget is clearly not in the million dollar category but Jorge really made our experience feel like we were buying a multi million dollar home. As a real estate agent he is the best here in this city. His expertise in the market was essential for us to find the perfect home for our family. He is a very kind person inside and out and will go the extra mile for you. He checked up with me months after I met with him for the very first time. He knew my living situation in TJ was very hard and took the time out of his day to make sure I had the right connections to fix my credit. During the escrow process he explained everything to us every step of the way and fought hard for us with every hiccup and there were a lot. His team is on-top of everything they are always on the same page especially his assistant Mackenzie she was so nice to work with and would always follow up with me for anything I needed. Jorge went above and beyond his role and acted as my finance / escrow officer multiple times during escrow. He really picked up the slack where it needed to and was great at thinking outs of the box when there were bumps in the road. He truly is the best and you will regret not choosing Jorge as your agent! read more

Jorge has been stellar from the beginning -- two and a half years ago when I first began looking for a condo in downtown SD. His patience with my process and diligence in honing in on THE place I was looking for really paid off. Jorge excellently handled each step - negotiation through purchase, to quickly finding a great tenant, and continues to provide support as I manage things long distance. Next purchase in San Diego, Jorge will definitely be my agent. read more

Jorge was the best part of the purchase experience! He is knowledgeable, responsive and professional. His extensive expertise about the area, the specific condominiums' HOA culture, local development and potential future expectations was invaluable to our decision-making process. The best part is that we had just met Jorge and without knowing much about us, he took the time to get to know our vision and expectations and matched it up with the perfect place within a handful of showings. He curated the list based on limited information and impressively designed a plan for us in a short period of time. This intimidating experience was a great success thanks to Jorge and his ability to manage the transaction from end to end during our unique situation. We are very happy! Thank you Jorge! read more

We started working with Jorge Castellon almost by accident about 6 months ago. He showed us a property to rent for which he was the listing agent. Rather than tour the condo and then run off, he spent extra time talking us through specific details about living in Downtown San Diego. Having come from suburban Murrieta, our knowledge of urban living and the Downtown San Diego housing market was quite scant. Jorge is a long-time resident in the city and had a lot of first-hand experiences to share. It was clear to us, right away, that Jorge was just the person to help us find a temporary condo before we committed to buying a place. Other realtors were put off by the fact that we'd be renting for a year, but Jorge was not deterred. We appreciated his willingness to spend time and energy exploring all the options in order to maximize our initial living experience downtown. The best thing about working with Jorge is his accessibility. He has always been available to make appointments for condo viewings at a moment's notice. We have found him to be very responsive to our needs. Even if just to answer questions, Jorge is timely in returning phone calls and emails. He has a very relaxed and calm demeanor, which made interactions with him easy and pleasant. He fielded our frequent queries with patience and understanding. It is because of this we were able to gain the knowledge about the market in a relatively short period of time. We felt assured we had exhausted all possibilities, and were then able to make an educated decision about which building was right for us. When signing the lease, Jorge assisted us in negotiating preferable terms. It was comforting to have someone like Jorge on our side for his real estate expertise. We couldn't be happier with the service we've received from Jorge. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing a competent, friendly, and professional realtor. When we're ready to buy, Jorge Castellon will be the agent we'll trust to help us find the perfect condo. Kim and Rich Happy Downtown San Diego Residents read more

My husband and I decided to buy a vacation condo in the Gaslamp area of SanDiego. Jorge was extremely knowledgeable of the area and all the pros and cons of each property we looked at. We appreciated his knowledge and honesty with helping us to find the perfect place. Jorge and his team are professional, easy to work with and always available. He was the difference in closing the property in this very competitive market. read more

Jorge is an utmost professional and works extremely hard at his craft. I don't think I could have gone through the condo-buying process without him, especially as a first-time home buyer. He was especially helpful in guiding us through a difficult loan process (two extensions, due to lapses in communication) and was extremely honest on properties - even steering us away from two more expensive options (that would have made him more money). I honestly don't have any negative things to say. Any home in Southern California, now or in the future, and he is our guy. Thanks Jorge! read more

I've had the opportunity to work with Jorge Castellon on several transactions over the past few years. In my experience, Jorge Castellon is a superstar agent, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home. There are many things that stand out about Jorge. I would say first and foremost, is one word: Composure. The business of real estate is peaks and valleys, and nobody is better at managing the expectations of all parties, finding solutions to problems, and allowing cooler heads and reasonable thinking to prevail, than Jorge Castellon. He is able to think outside the box and hold deals together by creating win-win scenarios, when a deal may have otherwise fallen apart. Another word that describe Jorge is honest. I recall a specific scenario where a less than ethical solution was on the table, and Jorge's client, at the urging of Jorge, walked away from the scenario. How many agents can you say that about?! He protects his clients, he looks out for their best interest, and he's not afraid to walk away--even when it can cost him a buck. I can go on and on, but I think you get the picture. If you're looking for a real estate agent, Jorge Castellon should be a man that you consider. read more

I highly recommend Jorge and his team. My husband and I weren't even looking to sell our home, but ended up with a great deal. Jorge and Brittany are punctual, friendly, knowledgeable and fair. They represented us and the buyers, maintaining a great professional working relationship. They answered all of my questions (which were a lot - I'm perfectly aware I can be a bit critical, especially when it comes to my family's future) whenever I asked. After going through another agency when we bought our home, I can confidently say I know the difference between good and bad realtors - this 5 star review was definitely earned!!! read more

Jorge Castellon was my realtor on both ends of a 1031 Exchange (selling a property and buying another). Jorge did a phenomenal job and was able to get me a price above where the initial appraisal came in on the sale property and significantly below appraisal price on the purchased property. On the sale property, Jorge worked diligently getting the property "sale-ready" (e.g., cleaned, staged) and was able to compile a credible argument to challenge the bank's initial appraisal in order to ultimately get the valuation higher and prevent issues with financing (and a potential reduction in price). Jorge proactively handled all aspects of the transactions as I live outside the San Diego area and was not able to be present at the property during the process. Throughout both the buying and selling process, Jorge was a trusted advisor and clearly an expert on the San Diego real estate market. On my purchase, Jorge genuinely listened to what I was looking for and did a very good job in finding properties that met the mark, ultimately landing on a great investment property. Jorge had professional opinions providing valuable guidance along the way and well-founded perspectives where helpful. I believe a real estate agent should be a value add rather than simply a sunk cost to do a transaction. Jorge Castellon is certainly a value-add. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or sell a property in San Diego. Thank you Jorge! read more

I give Jorge and his team my absolute highest recommendation! As a first time home buyer, I had many questions. Jorge and his team were always available to answer any questions I had, even after business hours. The process as a whole was incredibly smooth, and went flawlessly. I felt completely confident putting all of my trust in Jorge, and he didn't let me down. He is very knowledge not only in the real estate field, but also in the city of San Diego. I looked at multiple properties during my apartment search, and Jorge always gave me his honest opinions of each property. At no point did I feel rushed, or feel like Jorge was trying to sway my decision in any way. It always felt as if I was the only buyer that Jorge was working with, and I was never on the back burner. I would absolutely work with Jorge and his team again for any buying/selling of real estate in San Diego. read more

I met Jorge in an open house where he explained his job is more service than sales. He probed over time his thorough knowledge of home construction and the san diego marketplace. Every time we viewed a property, Jorge would perform a thorough inspection and inform me of his findings both positive and negative. I highly recommend using Jorge as your realtor. read more

Jorge is a great person to deal with if you're looking for a great realtor!! Thanks for your help and making it so easy.

I just bought my first condo with Jorge and he was absolutely incredible to work with. He answered my countless questions and guided me through the process that I knew NOTHING about. Jorge works really hard and is on top of everything. I was so grateful to have found him! He found us a great deal on a condo below our price range and I really trusted everything he said. He was very honest and spoke intelligently about every property we viewed - what he liked and didn't like, etc. It is clear he not only does his research but cares about what you want. Not only that, he spent countless hours in person and on the phone talking through our questions. Jorge was extremely patient, reliable, and trustworthy. I will never use another agent in San Diego and hope that I can find a "Jorge" for every other business transaction I go through in life. Thank you Jorge!!! read more

Being referred to Jorge Castellon through a mutual friend, I was highly pleased with the professionalism and level of service I received. After a mere 2 weeks of working with Jorge, I received a call from him letting me know he had found the place for me. Within days I was signing the paperwork and on my way to buying my first home. Jorge is very knowledgeable in regards to the marketplace and was able to find me exactly what I was looking for. Being a first time buyer with no knowledge of the home buying process, Jorge helped guide me through the whole process and was always able to answer my questions for me. Jorge is smart and reliable and always has the best interest of his customers in mind. I love love love my new home and will definitely look for Jorge to help me purchase my next home. read more

My husband and I chose Jorge as our real estate agent and thank goodness we did! Not only was Jorge a very professional Realtor, but he just made it so stress free. We have bought several homes in the past and none have been as simple as this one. Thank you Jorge! read more

Jorge was a great help throughout the purchasing process. He was willing to work with my compressed schedule due to moving from out of state. In addition, you could tell he did his homework on the properties and had the honest conversations about which properties were properly valued and would be a good fit for our needs. When it came time to negotiate, he was very helpful and gave honest feedback on which requests would be realistic and helped us keep our eyes on the prize. Overall, a very competent and helpful realtor. read more

I met Jorge when I was looking for a home online. I inquired through his website and received a quick response. I was impressed by his knowledge of the East Chula Vista real estate market. We just started our search but so far I am thrilled with his customer service. Can't wait to find my dream home with my realtor Jorge. read more

As anyone searching for a home probably knows choosing the perfect place to call your own is no easy task... and I don't know how I could have ever ended up where I am now without Jorge. He was beyond helpful from the very beginning- as a first time buyer he was able to answer every single question I had (...which was many!), oftentimes before I even knew what to ask. He made himself available for every showing I requested, has unparalleled market knowledge, knows where all the best restaurants are (very important to me), and really took the time to get to know me as a person to get a better handle on where we should go look. He is genuinely genuine, and you never feel like he's just trying "to make the sale." I ended up loving my home-buying process and I can't say enough good things about him, thanks for helping me find my dream home!!!!!!!! read more

I highly recommend Jorge as a realtor. He helped us buy our dream condo by the beach in Encinitas. As our real estate agent, he displayed excellent judgment and gave us invaluable guidance. He guided us through the process with patience - he was always able to explain details clearly and concisely, which really boosted our confidence. Jorge really hustles and was available whenever we needed him. Plus, he coordinated really well with my lender which made my life much easier during the whole process. You can feel confident hiring Jorge to be your agent. read more

Jorge Castellon and team are AMAZING at facilitating a smooth home selling experience. At every step Jorge was patient, knowledgeable, proactive, and set clear expectations of the home selling process. He also suggested some quick home improvement projects to insure we got top dollar. His experience and effective communication skills coupled with his honest work ethic paved the way to my townhouse selling above market rate and in 10 days! It was the highest sale price for my model ever! While a similar model in the same complex and on the market at the same time sold in over 30 days and for less. This really validates the expertise that Jorge and team offer. I highly recommend Jorge Castellon and team and look forward to working with them again in the near future to purchase a home. read more

Jorge is a great guy that helped me with my recently acquired property in San Diego. I do no live there, so, imagine all the work and coordination needed to get everything done in a few days....from selecting different properties to see, helping deciding and getting all together. If you need a realtor that's going to deliver, better check Jorge Castellon. read more

Jorge was my saving grace. I needed to rent a furnished apt/condo in downtown San Diego within 4 days, on a tight budget, after my previous place fell through. I randomly walked into Jorge's office seeking any help I could get, and he greeted me with a smile and a solution. By THAT afternoon I had an appointment to see a condo in a high rise for the following day. I ended up loving the building and put my deposit down immediately. Everything worked out for the best and I could not be happier. Jorge was timely, friendly and efficient. I could not have asked for a better agent!! I would definitely recommend Jorge for anyone looking for a place in the San Diego area!! He goes above and beyond for his clients. read more

Jorge sold my husband and me our first home. He was great to work with and even stayed in touch with us after we closed escrow. The condo we bought was a flip that he did and there were several upgrades done prior to it going on the market. We were one of the first potential buyers to see the condo and fell in love with it right off the bat. While my husband dealt with all the transactional stuff when it came to buying the condo, Jorge was also very responsive to me when I had asked about all the improvements that were made in the event we ever needed to get more materials and paint to do touch ups. He gave me all the necessary info and went above and beyond when I needed to get additional flooring by helping me locate exactly where to buy it. Not only is he very professional as a real estate agent, he's also overall a really nice guy who cares about his clients and his work. The funny part is we weren't even his client, we just bought the condo from him, so it goes to show his great work ethic. read more
