She had answers for everything, made the process seamless, and got my condo sold fast (I had 2 offers in a few days!) with zero hiccups. I'm incredibly grateful to have had her on my side. Highly recommend!

I felt she advocated for me at all the right points of the process, and educated me on many important aspects of buying a home and home ownership in general. She got me a great deal on a really cute condo in Mission Hills, and I still feel very satisfied with the whole process and with my new home! I would definitely recommend hiring Kimberly to help you buy or sell your home. Five Stars!

My significant other has been nagging me about it for a month or so because I was turning my condo into rental property. The Yelp Projects function is great. I received 3 quotes fairly quickly and decided on using Correct Appraisals. Yelp app marked them as "Verified License" and also I liked the background of the owner when I checked out the website. Corbin had posted his experience online. Also liked that he had spent some time in New York Metro area for at least 8 years. Appraisal was done quickly. As far as the report goes, very detailed with sales comparison analyses and photos. Service was fast, quick, and efficient. Great communications. Very detailed and thorough report. Thanks to Yelp Projects function and Corbin at Correct Appraisals.

I contacted Gregg Phillipson for a showing of a home for sale. That went well, so I made an offer,…read morewhich was accepted. Then the fun part began: the home inspection. There were several findings and Gregg used his pool of professionals to come up with reasonable dollar amounts to request from the seller as compensation for needed repairs. With this thorough documentation in hand, the seller agreed to every penny. I then retained Gregg's services for the sale of my old home. With an acceptable offer quickly received, I swapped roles as my buyers submitted a dollar amount request for compensation based on the results of their inspection of my home. Skeptic that I am, I half expected Gregg to just say, "Remember how it went down when you bought? Just pay them what they're asking and be done with it." But no. As we talked, he keyed on my comment that I had employed the same roofing company throughout my years of ownership and he suggested that I have that roofer inspect my home and provide a repair estimate that might well be lower than what the buyers' inspector quoted. Sure enough, that turned out to be the case, allowing me to counter the buyers' request with supporting documentation in hand, saving me money when they agreed. I'm always a little leery when I hear boasts such as "#1 agent in East County," which is what Gregg's signs read. But you get something with Gregg that you don't get with the mega-agencies that advertise all over radio. When you call Gregg, you get Gregg. Evenings, weekends, whenever (though I never tried 3 a.m.). He's quick to respond, even if he doesn't have an answer right then & there. It will come soon. Yes, he has a team that works for him and I had interactions with all of them, but if I ever wanted to speak to the big guy, I could. And service continues even after he's been paid. For example, when Kamps Propane was gullibly convinced by the former owners (or their agent) to bill me for the gas remaining in their tanks at the time of the sale (even though our sales contract explicitly stated otherwise), I contacted Gregg. He wrote out and hand-delivered a check to me that same day to cover the charge, saying he'd work it out with the sellers and their agent later. When I had a question about the effects of the recently passed Prop 19 on my new property tax bill that Gregg couldn't answer, he arranged a free phone consultation for me with his CPA, who was able to explain the new law to me.

Almost 20 years in real estate and I'd heard the name Gregg Phillipson, hadn't met the man. Then over two years ago, I was hired as Broker of his office. We met and I was startled as to how "real" this man was, just a guy. Words to describe Gregg: Honest, Unpretentious, Straightforward, Caring, and Professional. Easy to talk with. We've had numerous conversations over the past couple of years and I began to look back on our talks to answer this question, "What makes a Great REALTOR®?" What separates the Best from all of the rest? Three things: (1.) They are great Communicators. (2.) They fully understand the Contracts, which allows them to out negotiate the uneducated. (3.) They genuinely Care about their Clients. Gregg has these three qualities in abundance. I call them the three C's of success, and began teaching it in my classes, using Gregg as an example. He's one of a kind, and I am proud to have him in our office and in our profession. Thinking about selling, buying, or investing in real estate? You deserve the Best, do yourself a favor and give Gregg a call - you'll be happy you did.

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!

They were always available to answer questions, kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I knew what to expect throughout the process. Their advice on pricing and negotiations was spot on, and everything moved smoothly from getting my house ready to list all the way through closing. I also want to give a shoutout to their TC, Alexa. She kept everything organized behind the scenes, was always responsive and helpful, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. I have no doubt that her attention to detail played a big part in helping us close on time. Thank you to Lori, Alexa and Jesse in making this process feel smooth and manageable! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive team to help sell your home, this is your team!
