For all of you out there thinking about helping out your friend, family member, or friend of a…read morefriend who just became a real estate agent.... stop! And call Chris Roberts, he is a real agent who came highly recommended. I'll be honest, I do have high expectations, so when my 3 other friends told he was great... I still wasn't sold. But then they told what he had accomplished for them. Since I believe in facts rather than opinions, I knew he was the right guy for me. Long story short, he found us the perfect home for us in less than 2 months. We got it for 20k under asking price and we received more credits that asked for. Because he found a loophole!! Trust me this guy money!!!

I am the trustee of a Trust that needed to sell a residence in the Rancho Arbolitos area in Poway…read more I interviewed several real estate agents, all of whom were well qualified, but I chose Chris for several reasons. I highly recommend Chris for your real estate needs. I signed a listing agreement with Chris just before the coronavirus turned horrific. It was understood that the house could not be actively marketed until a very large number of personal property items were sold or otherwise removed from the residence. Unfortunately, at the time I signed the listing agreement we did not realize that conducting a sale of personal property during coronavirus restrictions would be much delayed. Finally, many months later the personal property was sold and repairs and cosmetic improvements could be started. The residence was in good physical condition, but out of date. Chris recommended that we spend some money to re-tile bathrooms, re-carpet almost all of the rest of the house, remove wallpaper and re-paint all interior walls. He recommended excellent contractors for this work and these improvements were all made timely and at reasonable prices. I am confident that these upgrades were beneficial in both obtaining a better net price and a faster sale. As soon as the upgrades were completed, Chris, at his expense, had a videographer film a high quality presentation of the residence. All of this work resulted in numerous showings and multiple offers for the residence. Chris guided me through the counter-offers and we quickly signed an agreement that unfortunately fell through when a financial problem arose for the buyer that was not known at the time the buyer was prequalified. Original interested parties were contacted and new prospects looked at the house. We promptly signed an agreement with a new buyer at a higher price. With Chris's help, all of these matters were timely accomplished. Chris recommended an excellent escrow company and the sale was completed and the proceeds received even though we were out of town on a long-planned trip. Throughout the entire listing, contractor upgrades, negotiations, disclosures and escrow, Chris provided excellent advice that assisted me in meeting my fiduciary responsibilities to the Trust beneficiaries. I have purchased numerous properties over the years, but I am extremely pleased that I used Chris's advice throughout this transaction. I strongly recommend Chris.

If you're looking for a great surveyor look no further!…read more Matt provided us with an amazing experience. I highly recommend working with him. Basically we had to get a survey done on our property because we were building a new home and didn't want to build into the property lines. So the city ordered us to get a property survey done. Matt provided us with a good price and went on to explain the process of what he was going to do and gave us timelines on when it can be done. Very professional and he has a great personality. Our property didn't have any monuments and Matt had to set all of those, which were very difficult. After Matt did all of this work and submitted the survey to the county. We passed our inspection from the city. I highly recommend working with Matt.

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!

I contacted MCG regarding a Survey Monument Preservation Certification which was secondary to a…read moresidewalk repair. Communication with Karina P. was excellent end-to-end, and the project was completed within a few days.

I'm glad to have found MC Geomatics! I will not hesitate to contact them again if I need other survey services in the future.

I just happened across the review by "Mo F." and would like to set the record straight…read more I am the owner of this apartment, which serves occasionally as my private residence and is furnished with custom built-ins, Kreiss Collection upholstered pieces, West Elm glass table and Breuer-style leather dining chairs. Upon move in, Mo commented on the superior condition in comparison to places she'd seen, saying she would take good care, as she was a landlord, as well. At one point, I had the unit offered for sale, but soon observed that it was not in acceptable showing condition, although I had extended a generous rental concession to the tenants to cover any inconveniences. As it was obvious that I would not get an acceptable offer, I took it off market. However, I was totally unprepared for the condition in which I found the apartment when the tenants left, in a hurry, to go on vacation. The lease states very clearly that, minus normal wear and tear, the premises are to be returned in the same condition as when rented, any plumbing stoppages are the responsibility of the tenant, and any damages are to be quickly brought to the attention of the landlord. These are standard rental lease agreement terms. What I found was a severely backed up dishwasher with broken glass (which I had paid to have repaired once before), large red wine stains on the living room couch and etched into the Italian limestone flooring, soiled upholstered bedboard, frayed and cut dining room chairs, abundant dog hair over furnishings and floor, missing light bulbs, and a shoddy attempt to cover dirt spots on the custom cabinetry with mismatched paint. There was no attempt at cleaning, and the list goes on. The repairs were way in excess of the $2,900 deposit although, contrary to Mo's assertion, I did return $1,200 to them -- totally undeserved as it was. I am also appalled that she and her husband are attacking Pete Saxon Realty, since her dealings were always directly with me. She even asked, when she said she was engaging an attorney, if their complaint should involve Pete Saxon or be limited between landlord and tenant. I told her clearly that Pete Saxon had no part in the dispute. But, here she is placing blame on everyone but herself, and making the slanderous accusation that agents routinely keep tenant deposits. Although I am a broker, I have kept my license with Pete Saxon Realty because he has twenty-five years of exemplary service to clients and I value his knowledge and integrity.

Update: It's been…read moreabout 2 years since my initial impression of John. The relationship started out well, but more and more he became unresponsive and not detail oriented. We've received bills from other properties, emails with so many typos it's difficult to decipher, and had to make repeated requests for monthly reoccurring issues. When our renters had an issue with the kitchen faucet we had to request several times to have a plumber look at it before John agreed. We almost replaced our 1k faucet 100% under warranty for a $50 fix. For all of these reasons I would not recommend John's services. Old review: John is all about business. As a property manager he's been responsive to us and worked hard to secure a renter in just a couple of weeks. We were super happy that our unit was only vacant for 5 days, saving us a substantial amount of money. We believe John found us a good renter and they signed a lease for almost 2 years. John's management fees are also extremely reasonable. We would highly recommend John for your property management needs.

I recently worked with Rick Solo (Villalobos and Solo Realty and Lending Group) in selling a condo…read more The service I received from Rick was exceptional and by far the best real estate experience I have ever had. From the time of our first meeting to the end of Escrow, Rick and the team provided five-star service. Rick was professional, honest, transparent and incredibly knowledgeable about the current market and strategies for moving forward. I needed to upgrade and make some improvement in the condo prior to listing, and Rick took care of everything with design, purchases, contractors, expense tracking and necessary oversite. He kept me informed every step of the way and always respected my input. As a result, we had a healthy return on the investment when the house sold within 2 weeks of being listed. I know that if, and when, I sell another property, he will be my first choice. To summarize, Villalobos and Solo Realty are the best! James L.
