First, I would like to start by saying do NOT hire Mike Mora-The Mora Team or HomeShield Property Management. We hired Mike Mora owner of HomeShield Property Management in September of 2022. In the beginning he was amazing and we were very happy but sometimes changed around July of 2025. It was at this time that most communication became difficult. He was not responding to emails, texts or phone calls for months. I reached out on Facebook Messenger and after a bit of time he responded but unfortunately it was nothing but excuses. We reached out to the Relationship Manager Todd Mora of HomeShield Property Management. He is Mike Mora's brother and a local attorney in San Diego. He did respond only by saying he would have his brother call us. Again, nothing no emails, texts or phone calls. We sent a formal 30-day cancellation notice which he ignored. We hired an attorney regarding the tenant's security deposit and a partial rent payment. He is illegally withholding about 5000.00 dollars of our tenants deposit and a partial rent payment with no explanation or acknowledgement. This level of unresponsiveness and disregard for professional obligations is completely unacceptable. It became clear January 2026 after multiple requests we would not be receiving our 1099 or any further communication. We hired a new management company who requested: 1. All keys 2. The current lease and all extensions. 3. All correspondence with the tenant. 4. Tenant ledger and transaction history 5. The Security deposit and related accounting. 6. Partial Rent paid by our tenants on March 23, 2026 via the portal for the April rent. Ghosting your clients, attorney's and property management colleagues is not property management--it's negligence. We notify the Board of Realtors which has this case currently under investigation. We would not recommend Mike Mora to anyone seeking reliable, ethical property management or real estate services. I will update the status if there are any changes. read more

Under no circumstance should you hire Mike. He was managing our property in San Diego, and went completely MIA. It's been 6 months, no word from him, his office appears to be closed and he still owes us money which we likely will never see. read more

We hired Mike Mora, property manager and real estate broker, two years ago to manage our condo in La Jolla. Things went smoothly for about a year, but then communication steadily declined until he stopped responding entirely--no replies to emails, texts, or phone calls for months. We sent a formal 30-day cancellation notice which he ignored. Only after we warned of legal action regarding the tenant's security deposit did he finally return the funds--still with no explanation or acknowledgment. This level of unresponsiveness and disregard for professional obligations is completely unacceptable. He continued to collect management fees despite clearly having checked out and made no effort to inform us or transition the account responsibly. Ghosting your clients is not property management--it's negligence. We would not recommend Mike Mora to anyone seeking reliable, ethical property management or real estate services. read more

Mike helped us find our first home and we couldn't be happier with the experience he provided. Given that we knew very little about the house buying process, Mike took the time (and patience!) to walk us through the entire process; to educate us about the San Diego region and various neighborhoods; and once we found our home, to help us through the offer and closing process. I would recommend Mike to my closest friends and family -- and plan on doing so. read more

Mike helped my husband and I find and purchase our first home. We were relocating from Los Angeles, and nearly every weekend for months we would come down and house hunt. Mike would go above and beyond by not only showing us homes for sale, but also taking us to local spots in each neighborhood to get a feel for the different areas. We must have looked at 60 houses, Mike genuinely wanted us to love our home, and he worked hard to find our perfect match. We used Mike a second time to also find and buy a rental property. We can't say enough good things about his level of professionalism and knowledge, not to mention that he's just plain fun to spend time with during those long days of house hunting! We look forward to working with him again, and I would highly recommend Mike to anyone. read more

We were very happy with the services of Mike and the Mora Team with both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home. Before making the decision to sell, Mike was available to explain the full details of the selling process, provide advice on market trends and best practices to sell, and answer any questions that popped up along the way. Mike was able to get multiple offers for our condo within the first 20 days of listing. Unfortunately, problems arose between our buyers and their financial institution to the result where they needed to back out of the purchase. This was a very stressful time for us because we had already had an offer accepted for our home that was contingent on the sale of our condo. Luckily, Mike was very detailed with his paperwork and were able to collect the deposit the buyers tried to contest. Mike was able to keep us calm by maintaining excellent communication, a calm demeanor, and forming a plan for success. He was able to re-list our condo (after we had already moved out 90% of our belongings) and get us an offer for $10k more than our asking price. At the same time Mike was selling our property to the second buyers, he was working tirelessly to save the purchase of our new home. Prior to the original buyer backing out, Mike was able to find us a great home, in our price range, where we could grow our family for many years to come. Mike was amazing to work with and we would recommend him very highly to anyone interested in buying or selling. read more

Two weeks ago I purchased my first home and I can honestly say that the experience could not have been better. When I first started working with Mike, he set me up with real time MLS updates to my email, this was key in being able to quickly act on a new listing that caught my eye. I remember waking up on a Saturday morning and seeing a brand new listing on a home that was perfect, I contacted Mike and I was viewing the house that afternoon. I was extremely impressed with Mike's willingness to act quickly on getting our offer in on the home, ours was the first one submitted. To sum everything up, Mike's ability to move fast when necessary sealed the deal on having our offer accepted in this competitive market! Mike kept my best interests in mind, I never felt pushed, it was always about what I wanted. His knowledge of the San Diego area was priceless since I have only been in the area for several years and Mike is a native San Diegan! Mike Mora is a great guy all around and a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend him for your home buying needs! read more

I worked with Mike to find my new home this summer. Being a first time home purchaser/owner, I was a bit nervous about the process (to say the least :)). Upon our first meeting, I knew Mike would be a great fit for me. He listened to exactly what I was looking for and offered up additional insight that I had not yet thought of. I found Mike very attentive, but not pushy and appreciated that. When I was ready to move forward he was extremely professional in putting together an offer and working with the sales agent. He kept in constant communication and always had my best interests in mind. I also found Mike very beneficial throughout the loan process. I found his advice sound and trustworthy. I travel a lot for work and was not always readily available. He was of great help keeping the process moving and being available on my schedule. He always made me feel like a top priority. I've been in my new home for 2 months now and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Mike to help you as well! Best of luck! read more

I had the opportunity to work with Mike and I was simply impressed. He's knowledgeable, aggressive, professional, caring, detail-oriented, and tech savvy. Whether representing a buyer or seller, he knows what it takes to separate you from the pack, and sell a home in this extremely competitive market. Highly recommend Mike Mora! read more

Mike and his team helped me sell my home and purchase a new one. I am in the mortgage business, so I work with half a dozen realtors a month on other people's transactions, so I know a good realtor when I see one. Mike's customer service skills, his go-getter personality and positive attitude is why I continue to send all my buyers to him as I know he will take care of them. If you are reading this, I promise, Mike will be your best decision you can make when selling your home or looking to buy a new one. read more

Mike helped me on purchasing my first home. I had no idea what to expect coming into the experience and at times it could be pretty stressful but Mike was always able to put my mind at ease. He completely worked around my schedule to look at homes, and gave me an honest assessment of everything we looked at. The only real work I did was pick a place, sign my name (about a million times), and pay. Mike took care of the rest and was even able to get me some money back. I would, and have recommended him to anyone looking for a real stir and look forward to working with him again. read more

I have been working with other realtors for the past 2 years to find a home that is everything I want within my budget. With my previous Realtors I wasn't happy with the lack of enthusiasm, lack of knowledge, and lack of communication. Before I found Mike, my Realtors were not even coming close to what I described in a home I was looking for. They were never available or helpful. And it just made everything seem hopeless.... UNTIL I found Michael Mora thru a friend and my experience with having a realtor totally changed. !!! Mike not only set me up for success with up to date MLS listings, He made every step successful! He made me feel as if I was his only client, and his communication and people skills is unlike anyone I've met in this field. He is so fun to work with and is so dedicated to helping people get what they want. He was never too busy, and always got results. I had so many questions and he was so thorough answering them, and if He didn't know the answer He got the answer asap. His expertise and knowledge blew me away. He did all the hard work and went above and beyond what I expected Him to do. I am now a homeowner because of the persistance and quickness of Mike. When I wanted to put in an offer on a house, He would make sure that offer got in asap. Mike was so professional and genuine. He was never pushy or had a Salesman approach, He really made my experience in finding a home so enjoyable and stress free. I cant thank Mike enough for what He has done. I will continue to recommend Mike to all my family and friends. I feel blessed to have had Mike as my realtor. I wish there were more people in the world like Mike! read more

Mike understood what my husband and I were looking for and went the extra mile to find it for us. He also made the deal go through since there were 5 offers within 48 hours of the house going on the market. We feel lucky to have gotten our home and to have been able to work with Mike and the Mora Team! read more

Selling or buying a home and having a reliable advent is your number one concern. You can never go wrong with Mr. Mike Mora as he has the expertise to close the deal. We have worked together on mutilpe exchanges and IAM never ever going to go without this man. Who will work till the last paper is completed. read more

Mike did an awesome job with helping my family buy and sell a home here in San Diego. He was very easy to work with and was always professional. He was prepared with data to back up what he was telling us which was very important. We never felt pushed into a situation. You hear stories of agents being sketchy and it was nice to have Mike on our side. He also purchased a home warranty for us! I would recommend Mike to anyone looking to buy or sell in SD! read more

It was a pleasure to work with Mike. My wife and I had a very strict set of criteria to work with, and Mike dedicated much of his time over the past twelve months to find "the one" for us. In fact, Mike competed with several other offers to convince the sellers to choose our offer. Mike also has connections to inspectors, builders, financiers, and anything else you will need along the way making it really seem effortless at times. We love our new home in Carlsbad and we're already figuring out the next deal we can make with Mike! read more

As first time home buyers, we found Mike to be a huge help with the daunting task of buying our first home. He was always available to discuss and go to see properties, and offered valuable insights on the many properties we saw together. When we bid on homes, he was very communicative about both the positives and negatives of various offers and negotiations. When we finally entered escrow on our home, he ensured the transaction was totally seamless. We really didn't know the various steps or what to look for or ask, and he handled all those details. We trusted he was acting in our best interest, and each time he came back better than we could have anticipated. We really appreciated her ongoing support and encouragement that we very much needed. We highly recommend Mike and will always use him as we continue to grow! read more

We cannot say enough great things about our selling experience with Mike Mora. We hired Mike after interviewing a couple other candidates and we are happy we did! Mike was extremely professional, explained the process, and provided guidance. He used the phrase "under-promise and over-deliver", and he meant it. He researched the market value of our beach area condominium and recommended a price range significantly higher than the other real estate people we interviewed. His property brochure/flyer was beautiful. Then, just after listing our property, he employed his own marketing ideas and we were in escrow in about a week with a buyer from the L.A. area that Mike personally found... and at a price which exceeded the listing price. His service did not end there as he helped manage the escrow period in his typically professional manner. Mike was a very detail oriented professional that we were proud to have had the opportunity to work with. Thank you, Mike! read more

Michael Mora sets a new standard for how the Realtor-Buyer relationship should be handled. Having bought homes in the Midwest, East Coast and now in San Diego, he is by far the most trustworthy, dedicated, and ambitious Realtor I've come across. An active listener by nature, it was evident that he truly took my wants and needs as a homeowner into consideration when choosing homes for me to view. Many Realtors can be overtly aggressive and pushy, simply aiming to "close the deal" when it comes to showing homes. On the contrary, Mike Mora's laid back, yet passionate approach always made me feel comfortable and at ease in the decision making process. I intend to use Mike Mora going forward in all of my real estate endeavors and would highly recommend him as someone who will always have your best interests in mind when delivering your dream home. read more

My husband and I dreamt of buying our first home this year. In January, my friend/co-worker introduced us to Mike, her high school friend. As luck would have it, Mike also happened to be our neighbor at the time! We instantly connected and started working with him. On a less lucky note, my husband, a Naval Officer, was sent to training in Rhode Island from February to late May. This left the house hunt up to me...and I know, without a doubt, that I could not have gotten through this process sanely if Mike was not there every step of the way! He set us up with an easy to use website to show us all available listings -we were able to save our favorites, make notes, and filter the search results to narrow the search down to our specific wish list. Mike met with me countless times and was always ready to set up another viewing. He never pressured me to pick one and was even more critical about most of the houses than I was. It was very comforting to know that he would not let me buy something that he wouldn't be comfortable buying himself. Mike and I had so much fun house hunting that I'm actually a little sad that it's over! Once we put an offer in on our house, Mike helped us through the confusing escrow process. He even helped me find contractors for all the little renovation projects I wanted to do and went to the meetings with me! Throughout the whole process, Mike always went above and beyond and I have been singing his praises to anyone who even mentions that they are looking to purchase a home! read more

I have used Mike Mora in the past and am happy to see that he has branched out on his own with Mora group. He knows all facets of real estate. I know people that have used him to rent commercial space and to purchase a house. My need for him was to find me a condo for rent in Pacific Beach area. I know.... why would you need someone to help find you a place for rent? I was in the middle of a huge project for work and had no time to be driving around looking at signs and leaving messages for landlords that never answer. Mike shopped many places for me and had a daily update for me. I would pick the ones I wanted to view and he would set it up for me. I never felt like he wasnt rushing me to pick a place so he could pick up some $ like many brokers do. After about a week I had my place and was very happy. And the best part..... he bought me a beer after I signed the lease. read more

I was really impressed with Mike's knowledge of the area and most of all his understanding of what I was looking for and willing to pay. I felt totally comfortable working with him and he was fierce with his negotiations. He worked very hard on my behalf to get me the best deal possible and made sure I understood everything invovled in the process. In such strange economic times it was very nice to have Mike on my side. read more

When in San Diego, this is your guy. We found Michael Mora online while searching for a place to rent. We had contacted a lot of landlords and other realtors that really wouldn't give us the time of day, much less call us back. However, Michael Mora went way beyond anything we could have expected. He worked diligently to find us great homes to view, not just any homes either. Homes that were in our budget with the features we were looking for. He was honest about what we could expect from a property/landlord and checked in on us all the way past the lease signing and move-in day. We will definitely call on him again if we are ever in the area and highly recommend him for your real estate needs. The bar has been set very high with this guy! read more

Michael did such an amazing job helping my family and I find the perfect condo. He is very dedicated to his clients. He was able to find several great condos for us to look at until we found the perfect one. He was always available and very knowledgeable. We are all very impressed with Michaels success! read more

Mike Mora is an ambitious professional who makes customer service synonymous with The Mora Team. My wife and I had a pretty firm list of wants and Mike did six months of research to find us the place of our dreams. It was when escrow started that he really proved his worth. He knew every step of the way, even the ones outside of his responsibility to keep us at ease with the whole process. I promise you wont regret working with Mike. read more
