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!!

We cannot say enough good things about our Realtor Dan Markley. Not only did he get us WAY more for…read morethe sale of our condo then we thought was possible (about $30k more!), but he then turned that profit into our dream home! Dan found us a house that - surprisingly- me and my husband both loved. We knew there was a slim chance that we would win the bidding war on our small budget, but out of 13 other offers, ours was accepted! We were later told by the seller that our offer was accepted because our Realtor was so organized and easy to work with. I truly believe that we would still be hunting had we been working with any other Realtor, and our dream home would've gone to someone else. We still pinch ourselves that it's actually ours! If not for Dan and his expertise, we would still be living in our tiny little condo instead of settling into a beautiful home with a spacious lot and room to grow. We very happily, highly recommend his services, Dan Markley is THE best in the business. -Jenny & Harry Seaboldt

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.
