I would definitely recommend hiring Kimberly to help you buy or sell your home. Five Stars!

My husband and I have worked with Matt and his team (Christina, Jessica, Sarah, Melissa, Laura, I'm…read moresure I have forgotten a few) during the sale of our home. Not only was Matt responsive with great referrals for other services, but his team gave us almost daily updates, readily returned our calls and really guided us through the entire process (our first home sale in California). They also helped us find the right home for purchase - checked all of the boxes. The process was a little longer than what we would have liked, but that wasn't because of the agency, but from issues outside of their control. Would we use them again? Absolutely. Would we refer to them - we have and still will.

RESPONSE: My problem was not with the short sale process; we were well-aware of what we were…read moregetting into. The Battiata team told our realtor that we were the highest and best offer and to "sit tight" because we would have the bank approval ASAP. This information was conveyed to us as if we were the offer submitted; we came to find out they had already submitted an offer prior to receiving ours, and we were never even in the running for the house. Therefore, Mr. Battiata, we were not upset about the challenging process of a short sale, and yes we were disappointed in not getting the house but, the real problem was Your team and Your business practices. ORIGINAL REVIEW: We had the WORST experience with Battiata. We were told for about four months that the offer we had put down on our dream home was the top offer and that we should just "sit tight" until they had the final bank approval. For those 4 months we were given false hopes and a major run around. It was nearly impossible to get a straight answer from anyone and they kept back pedaling on what was actually happening. When our own agent couldn't get a straight answer we finally started calling their office directly until someone finally called us back, only to tell us that while we were still the highest and best offer (still within a reasonable range, the house would have easily appraised), they went with another offer. We eventually found out that the house went for a lot less than what we had offered so, they obviously don't accept highest and best as their AGENTS claim. While it is just hearsay, our understanding is that it is a common practice for the Battiata group to scout out for their own buyers so they don't have to share commission with another agency. We understood that short sales are difficult, time consuming and usually very frustrating. We knew how the process worked and what to expect. What we weren't ready for was how unprofessional the Battiata team was. We filed a complaint with the BBB but, they didn't care because the deal never went through. I guess in order for anyone to be held accountable for shoddy practices there has to be a monetary exchange. Thank goodness for places like Yelp where people can speak candidly and warn others about scheisters like Matt Battiata.

I had never sold or bought a house before and they helped me do both with ease. I need to put my father's house up for sale after he passed away and Paul and Elizabeth had been my property managers at the place I was renting. They were so wonderful at handling everything for us as tenants for 10 years so I decided to ask them to be my agents for the sale as well. They did everything for me, I mean they handled EVERYTHING! Including getting me the best deals for some things I had to do before I sold the house. They gave me the best contracting referrals, they immediately started open houses and walk throughs, they made sure I got what I wanted for the house. Then they helped us with our own purchase. They made it so fun to look for our new house and really listened to what was important to us. In fact, they are actually the one's who ended up finding us our dream house which we are now living in! It was such a smooth transaction and tey were on top of everything. Anything I need to do....they were right there holding my hand and telling me what came next. I never thought dealing with agents could be like this, an absolutely awesome and happy experience. We are so thankful to them for the smooth road to our happy home!

I…read morefound Sandi through a friend who messaged her friend (another Episcopal priest)-who suggested that I reach out to Sandi to help us with our housing search. Sandi has never seen or met me in person-and I have not paid her a dime for her help. I suffered an accident while very pregnant with our second child. Fortunately, our unborn (now healthy newborn!) is completely fine-but I have not been able to walk for almost 4 months now and suffered 1st and 2nd degree burns on my body. Out of nowhere, we were told that we must move to another unit-as our current landlord had been discharged from his military service much earlier than expected. We are genuinely happy for our landlord to return home safely-but the timing was extremely stressful. I have a toddler and couldn't take care of myself-let alone her completely; and was very pregnant and still can't walk. Our housing search was beyond stressful and exhausting. Most of our housing applications were never even opened or viewed. I can't count how many rentals we looked into/agents and owners we contacted in the past several months. I emailed Sandi and told her our situation-and explained that she was recommended by a church priest who knows a friend of ours (also an Episcopalian priest. My husband is actually a seminarian and former minister, and we have not lived in SD county very long). Sandi immediately moved into action-going above and beyond in sending us rentals, giving us feedback, moral support, and was incredibly compassionate, caring, genuine, and wonderful throughout my very high risk pregnancy and offered constant support for our housing search. I cannot thank her enough. She has never asked for one penny from me. She just helped us repeatedly without any desire or request for monetary compensation, recognition, or anything else-she just wanted to help us from her own good will and spirit. I can only say that she was an angel to me and our family through a very trying time, and I am grateful to have crossed paths with her (even virtually) and receive her boundless insights and professional expertise regarding the SD county housing market. Thank you, Sandi. I am so appreciative for all of your tenacity, support, and genuine heartfelt care.

My experience with Southwest Equity Partners was disappointing, not because problems occurred, but…read morebecause of how they were handled. During my residency I experienced multiple issues, including move-in lockouts, months of elevator noise, a freezer/ice maker that never functioned properly, billing errors that were initially denied and later corrected, and communication that often focused on closing work orders rather than confirming the resident's experience had actually been resolved. I repeatedly escalated concerns and was often told issues had already been addressed, even when they had not. In one case I was told my utility billing was correct, only to later receive a credit after another review. My freezer was also described as repaired months before it actually worked. The property itself is beautiful, and many of the onsite staff and residents were kind. My concern is with the management culture. There seemed to be a greater emphasis on administrative completion than on making sure residents genuinely felt heard or cared for. If you're considering living at one of their communities, ask detailed questions about how maintenance issues are verified, how utility charges are calculated, and how resident concerns are escalated. A luxury property should provide a luxury experience--not just luxury finishes.
