Knute is the only real estate agent you will ever need to contact. We have purchased and sold two…read morehomes in the last decade with him and I can honestly say that we feel genuinely grateful that he was on our side during such a stressful process. We are constantly recommending him to friends who are in need and will always be grateful for the experience, expertise, and kindness. He is always responsive and informed and constantly smoothing over the process (often before we even know an issue has come up). Our last house purchase was a very nuanced situation and he navigated assuming a VA loan easily. Being a new and difficult process for both us and Knute must have been intimidating but he managed to make the entire transaction somehow pleasant. He is kind, responsive, trustworthy, knowledgable, relatable, helpful, and consistenly goes above and beyond for his clients. He was also going above and beyond for the buyers of our home because their agent was out of state. You want him on your side and I am forever grateful that we have been able to work with him twice.

We were looking for a house for our family with a new born baby. My husband and I knew exactly what…read morewe were looking for, and because of the specifics, there were only very few houses that met our must-haves. Knute was very knowledgeable and patient, and he went above and beyond to help us find THE house. He was very professional without making us feel intimidated, and made the home buying process so much easier and comfortable. He was very attentive that he made us feel like we were the only client he was working with. We strongly recommend Knute to anyone who is looking to buy a house, as we would definitely work with him again!!

He works hard at his various real-estate endeavors and truly is interested in providing the best service available. When I decide to sell my home, he will be the first one, and likely the only realtor, I plan to entrust with such an important job to quickly accomplish. I recommend him and suggest that anyone looking to sell their home for top dollar should contact him and place him at the top of their list.

We were so fortunate to have found Harvey and Melody when I was looking to move in the San Diego…read morearea. As our Realtors, they helped us find the right condo in the right neighborhood for the right price. He was patient as we jumped around all over San Diego looking for weeks and guided me through every single step of the process. We know we weren't the easiest clients to please, and had a million stipulations and questions but they always got the answers and didn't waste my time in showing me something they knew I wouldn't like and had to sell to me. In short, they were always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with the Father Daughter Team was that he was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding a home that met my needs than they were on closing a deal. We would recommend them to anyone.

In my opinion, as well as the collective view of our entire neighborhood, this father-and-daughter…read moreduo egregiously exploited a vulnerable seventy-year-old neighbor during a period of profound grief following the loss of a loved one. They facilitated the sale of her home to an LLC for approximately $490,000, only to subsequently represent that same corporate entity and renovate/flip the property for $885,000. Their actions demonstrate a flagrant disregard for the community, driven purely by self-interest. I am entirely indifferent to the fact that they know my address; I am simply thoroughly exhausted by such blatant corruption. Furthermore, the agents actively withheld the contact information for the purchasing LLC. This entity subsequently hired what appeared to be unlicensed contractors to renovate the property.I requested this information because these contractors were cutting granite outdoors during 55 mph wind gusts. This highly negligent activity created an airborne debris hazard that caused extensive physical damage to three of my vehicles. My multiple attempts to contact the agents to resolve this property damage were completely ignored; they flatly refused to acknowledge my communication or provide the necessary liability and insurance information for the LLC. The attached text conversations and photographs document this lack of response and the resulting damage. Notably, during one of our interactions, Melody spent ten minutes defensively trying to justify their actions regarding the property sale--even though I had not questioned her about whether they took advantage of the elderly neighbor. This unsolicited and extended justification strongly indicates their awareness of the exploitative nature of the transaction.

We recommend her highly!

I've never dealt with such an unprofessional group…read more My agent and I submitted an offer on a property significantly over asking, pre-approval, proof of funds, with a 19 day close and 20% down. The home had been on the market 72 hours and their MLS instructions said that all offers needed to be in by 5:00 pm Monday, 6/18. After several unanswered calls, emails and a visit to their office today nobody will even confirm that they received the offer, let alone the status or next steps. How can a business operate this way?

I believe even one star is too generous for Emmett Cahill, broker at QFC Real Estate. He was…read moreunprofessional and insensitive throughout our experience. We renewed a contract for an office that belonged to my 40-year-old son, who sadly passed away last year. Emmett drafted an amendment that included a clause allowing the tenant to make changes to the office without notifying us.He knew we had prior issues with the tenant who removed my late son's valuable furniture, without notifying us and we were unable to recover which was very sad for us. We had to ask him to change that clause after it was already signed. Additionally, he made inappropriate comments about his own client--my tenant--calling him "very difficult" and stating that he, Emmett, was "more like us" (like my husband and me) and that he was on our side. How disloyal to his client. On another occasion, he was extremely rude over the phone and later apologized via email: "I wanted to apologize for the call earlier. I was in the middle of something prior, but I should not have spoken to you that way." This behavior is unacceptable. I rarely write reviews, but I felt it was important to share this experience.

Being that this was our first purchase, there was a lot we didn't know and a whole lot more that we didn't know that we didn't know.

Dan proceeded very professionally by being clear and concise about the selling process from paperwork, to marketing, staging, and market analysis. Dan Tomasi is very knowledgeable with analyzing market stats and staying up to date with the shifts and is a good negotiator. I absolutely loved the various marketing tools from photos to videos including drone videos. Good marketing is a must in today's real estate market. Being the seller and going through the process of staging, showing the home, etc. is not an easy task. Dan was extremely supportive and collaborative in his approach. Dan always kept us well informed throughout the process and was so fun to work with. Dan's team was amazing. On time, on task, and on a mission! They were just as great to work with as Dan was. They always kept us clearly informed throughout the entire process. Selling your home is rather personal. It is more than just selling your home. It is your "real" estate and is something each and every one of us value in a very personal way. It is significant and meaningful to our existence. Dan Tomasi facilitated a meaningful experience for me and my husband and for that we will always be grateful. The value he placed on the importance of our home made us feel comfortable from beginning to end. Hands down Dan Tomasi and his team will always have our recommendation!

I am currently in the middle of my third real estate transaction with Gary (buying our first home,…read moreselling it now, and buying our new place). I am someone who analyzes every detail and worries about the numbers, so I needed a strategic partner, not just a salesperson. What stands out most is Gary's integrity. During our search, he actually advised us against buying certain homes because he spotted drawbacks I had missed or knew they wouldn't fit our long-term goals. He wasn't trying to close a quick deal; he wanted to make sure the move was actually worth it for us - that we were getting more square footage, accounting for a possible growing family, and other things we've mentioned to him. When it came to selling our current home, I really appreciated how realistic he was about the price. Instead of promising us an inflated number just to get the listing, he gave us a brutally honest, data-backed valuation. He manages expectations perfectly so there are no surprises later. It's honestly wild how dialed-in he is to the San Diego market. He's been doing this for decades, and it shows! He walks into a house and predicts almost exactly what it would sell for (and he was always right). He knew exactly how to negotiate so we didn't overpay, showed us off-market homes we never would have seen on Zillow, and knew precisely when to strike to get our offer accepted. We've talked with other agents through open houses we've casually walked through, but watching Gary work is different; he pulls off these complex moves effortlessly and with such a good nature that you almost forget how sharp the strategy actually is. We are currently trusting him with the complex process of buying and selling simultaneously, and having someone who will give you the unvarnished truth is invaluable. If you want an agent who protects your interests over his commission, Gary is the one.

We've worked with Gary for years (he helped us buy our first home, too), and there is a reason we…read morekeep coming back. Other agents we ran into at open houses felt like they just wanted to push us into buying or selling, Gary does the opposite. There were multiple houses we thought we liked that Gary gently steered us away from because he pointed out issues we hadn't noticed: like noise levels or layout problems that would have driven us crazy later. He spent a lot of time making sure this move made sense for our lives before we ever signed a paper. He treats his clients like family, meaning he protects you even when it slows down the process. He makes the stressful parts feel manageable. If you want someone who is chill, honest, and actually has your back when things get complicated, Gary is your guy.
