Serri was an absolutely exceptional real estate agent, and we can't recommend her and her partner…read moreGeorge highly enough. We hired Serri to sell our five-acre property with an exceptional panoramic view, our beloved home, and from the very first walkthrough she was extremely professional and thorough. She inspected every bit of the home and grounds and immediately knew how to position it to meet our specific goal: a quick sale, at a strong price, with no lingering on the market and no price reductions. A previous agent had pitched our home as a retirement property, which never sat right with us. Serri saw it exactly as we did, as a family home, and priced and marketed it accordingly. She brought in her own staging team, photographer, and videographer (including drone footage), and recommended a handful of relatively small, inexpensive updates, including a fresh paint job. The return on those modest changes was remarkable. They made a huge difference in how the home showed and clearly helped drive up buyer interest and the final sale price. Serri and George held a single open house that brought in over 100 visitors, and within 48 hours we had two offers above our asking price, from a family with young children and another who was ready to start one. Both could clearly picture themselves living there. Serri and George managed every step of the process with great care and skill. We were also in the middle of an international move at the time, which made everything more stressful, and Serri and George took every worry off our plate. Whether you're buying, selling, or just need solid advice, Serri and George are fantastic, and we recommend them without hesitation.

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.

It was time for my mom to finally downsize to a home which would be more manageable; square footage to yard maintenance; for someone in their 80's. Therefore, I searched Yelp and after viewing the realtors on Yelp, Erin Wade stood out even before I read her reviews. I called Erin and set up a meet and greet with my mom and husband to discuss options for selling and buying a home in the area. From starting to finish, Erin was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth, stress-free and successful for my mom who has never had to deal with selling and buying a home for over 30+ years. Erin is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, communication was always clear and timely, and she responded to all texts and/or emails in a timely matter even while out of town for family event. If it just so happened Erin was not available, she assigned someone from her team to cover in her absence. Erin made sure we were kept in the loop on any information about the property my mom was selling and the one she was purchasing. Erin really catered to my mom's needs and to my husband and my expectations during the process. Overall, Erin made us feel we were the only customer even though we know that is not true. We; my mom, husband and I, are grateful to have found Erin Wade and her team to help my mom sell her home and find her forever home. If you are looking for a great, reliable, friendly and knowledgeable Realtor. Erin Wade is that Realtor. I will definitely call Erin Wade when I am in the market to sell my home.

We first connected with The Jim Bottrell Team when we began considering a move from Northern…read moreCalifornia to San Diego to be closer to our grandchildren. We were paired with agent Michelle McGowen, who showed us several homes while we explored our options. Although we weren't ready to make offers at the time, Michelle remained incredibly patient and never pressured us. Finding the right home was not an easy process, especially since my wife has very discerning taste and we were determined to stay within our budget. In April, everything finally came together -- we secured our pre-approval and found the perfect home. Michelle was persistent and proactive with the listing agent, and thanks to her dedication, we were able to get the home we wanted. We highly recommend The Jim Bottrell Team and are especially grateful for Michelle's professionalism, patience, and commitment throughout the process.

Recently I closed on a home in Vista, and dealing with Jim Bottrell's real estate agent Sonya was a…read morenightmare & a struggle. I've never had an agent that was 100% on our side, until I met Sonya. During the whole "buying event, I called out Sonya and questioned her on "whose side are you on. This didn't happen once, I had told her 3 times and of course she assured me that she's on our side. One time while on the phone with her, questioning her integrity, it seemed like she was about to cry., If I didn't love the house so much, I would have "walked away, let my " real estate realtor contract expire and start over with a much more professional and understanding agent that "has ur back" Much more to add that got the Jim Bottrell team a 1 star, but I'll leave you with this.... 11 days after getting my keys, the AC went out.. I asked Sonya for the "home warranty" info and she said she had a morning meeting (7am) and that when she was done with meeting, The line she used was "when she was able " so of course that never sounded " promising" It was only 2 more texts that I sent her until she gave me the name of the warranty company... The idea I get that with the Bottrell company that there's not importance of "post sale" issues that pop up, definitely made us feeling like we're on an island. So as I continued to navigate my "AC" going out, I was entertained by Sonya telling me that "she gave me the warranty info personally. I asked her "where & When", because I would have taped the paperwork on the refrigerator until it expired.. Sonya also mention someone that she works with in the office re: warranty , but when I asked if I could maybe get the contact info of the person, as I maneuver towards getting my AC repaired. I quickly realized that she wasn't gonna share nothing with me... In the end, I asked her to "e-mail" me the HWA info so that i can be more informed.. When I opened her e-mail , there was no HWA info , but there was 8 pages in "enter-office" communication where Sonya shares her love & concern for other office people (2 of which are the people she was reluctant to share with me) and "blistering" comments regarding me... I was shocked, but not surprised. Once I realized she wasn't on my side, I told her there will be no "warm n fuzzy " feelings when this sale is complete. It's nothing personally, it's just business. Worse home purchase "EVVVVER" I will not be posting the 8 pages , I thought about it.... Can't go that low..

Terrible. I reached out to see the property in wildomar on chiwi and they refused to show it…read morebecause they're in San Diego and it was too far of a drive. Why are you listing a property in wildomar if you can't show it? I don't have a realtor so I'm only working with the listing agents and have toured probably a dozen homes. No other listing agent has had a problem showing me the home THEY ARE LISTING. I was baffled. Plus if I would've made an offer on the home, they would've double ended the commission. I feel sorry for the home owners of that property. I hope they find someone else to sell their property.. who actually shows prospective buyers! I am now in escrow on another house. Could've been the one in wildomar but we'll never know now

I met Ryan through the unlikely source of ChatGPT. It recommended I talk to him about selling my…read moretownhouse in San Diego. I had previously tried to sell it with another broker unsuccessfully. Ryan was willing to do a lot of upfront work to show me how different his premier selling system is. I was very hesitant and appreciated that he took the time to verify his actual stats with me in the multiple listing service. It's honestly what sealed the deal on him. Ryan and his team sold my townhome in less than three weeks after I had unsuccessfully sat on the market for almost 4 months. He got me far more money than I thought I would get and even managed to squash a large repair request the buyer made during the escrow. I will definitely use Ryan Case and the Bottrell team if I ever need real estate assistance in San Diego again. He under promised and over delivered, which is rare for an agent these days.

She was very attentive and always available to talk when we had questions. She helped us get a competitive offer in on our dream home the same day we viewed it, even staying up late with us to make sure we got it in as quickly as possible. We appreciated Michelle's honesty and transparency, giving us honest feedback about our offer strategy and what to expect throughout the process. She explained things clearly in a way that made it easy to understand for a couple people with no experience in real estate. She was also instrumental in getting us help with lenders, home inspections, and final negotiations in escrow. All in all, we can't can't say enough good things about our experience with Michelle. And we certainly wouldn't have landed our home without her!

Giving five stars and a glowing review is simply not enough to express how happy we were to work…read morewith The GreenHouse team. As first time home buyers, we had no idea where to start. We were also out of state which made everything that much more difficult. I'm a big Yelp user and relied on the hundreds of other 5-star reviews to look for a real estate company. I was so impressed with Craig and Jesse from the start. The initial call was SO organized, thorough, and personal. Not only did they give us a incredibly detailed step-by-step guide of the buyer's process, but also spent the time to learn more about us as people and what we were looking for in a home. I was surprised my how much time and energy was invested before even signing any contracts with them. After meeting with a few different teams, we chose the GreenHouse Group and 100% stand by our decision! Communication was consistently strong and we were always in contact with someone/the entire team along the way. We worked with Lori & Alexa who also helped us navigate documents and important deadlines. The GreenHouse Group has a well-designed platform to track the home buying process--making it easy to see deadlines and to-dos. We worked with Craig for our Kick-Off Tour. The GHG evaluation system for homes captured everything important to consider when purchasing a home and we learned so much about what to look for when checking out a home. Craig was straight-up, incredibly knowledgable, and clearly looking out for our best interest. He took us to see quite a number of homes that day and even had snacks and waters to keep us going! Unexpectedly, and uncommonly, we found a home from that weekend's trip we wanted to put an offer on. Craig jumped right in and guided us through the 'make-an-offer' process. He worked incredibly hard to negotiate on our behalf and was able to coordinate inspections and video walk-throughs for us when we couldn't be physically present. We were always promptly and transparently well-informed and advised. We never felt pressured or persuaded to make any decisions. Craig and the GHG team presented the facts and gave recommendations based on 20+ years of company experience--always looking out for our best interest. They were 'real' and weren't out to "sell us" on anything. Even during the rent-back process, the team coordinated with the other realtor to work with the sellers on transitions and key dates. It was super fun when Jesse and Lori were already at the house when we arrived to pick up our keys--what a thoughtful surprise! To top it off, they came with a whole container of new home goodies and essentials for us to use while we settled in (and even had some for our dog!) The care box was super useful, especially when we didn't have any of our kitchen items yet! Even after the sale and getting our keys, the GHG team is still there to answer your questions and help you out--including a list of recommended contractors and other services you might need when moving into a new home. I'm sure I am forgetting something here, but needless to say, we 10/10 recommend the GreenHouse Group to anyone looking to buy (or sell!) a home. We have no regrets and could not have asked for a better team. Thank you GHG!
