We first came across Emma and the Barron Team during an open house for another property on our street, which they sold at a record speed and price. That immediately caught our attention -- and we're very glad we chose to work with them. Emma and her team did an outstanding job guiding us through the sale of our home. From preparation and pricing to staging and negotiations, everything was handled with professionalism and great attention to detail. Remarkably, our home was sold after just one open house weekend, which speaks volumes about their strategy and execution. Throughout the process, Emma was always responsive, clear, and steady, helping us navigate every step with confidence. We are very grateful for the result and the smooth experience, and we would highly recommend Emma and the Barron Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. read more

Mark me down as another happy customer! Emma and The Barron Team successfully sold our property in Escondido in March 2026.

We received multiple offers the first weekend on the market and sold for over the asking price. The top 3 reasons I would highly recommend Emma & her group? 1. Industry expertise 2. Great communication 3. Marketing, marketing, marketing. Don't hesitate to use Emma and The Barron Group for your real estate transactions! read more

We had an amazing experience with Emma! She's very professional and really knows the local market inside and out. Communication was great throughout, and what we loved most was that she actually cared about finding the right house for us - not just closing a deal. After we found our new home, she sold our old house in a single weekend after one open house, which was huge for us since we needed to close on the new place. Her whole team was organized and always got back to us quickly. Honestly, this was the best experience we've ever had with a realtor. Highly recommend Emma and the Barron Team if you're buying or selling! We can't wait to move into our new home. read more

We recently had the amazing experience of working with Emma & Dina throughout our first home buying process as a couple. I was particularly nervous in this current market & didn't remember much about the process of buying my condo independently. Emma & Dina were there to guide us every step of the way. They were so patient, knowledgeable, and consistently available to answer questions. They made sure that we understood everything and we were comfortable with every & all decisions. I cannot express enough how deeply we appreciate the humanity, professionalism, warmth & kindness utilized throughout our process. They absolutely went above and beyond. We got an outstanding deal on our purchase and they helped sell our condo for a great down payment. Emma even connected us to help with repairs prior to selling our condo. There was excellent communication throughout the escrow process and even keeping in touch and checking in throughout our move, helping us access boxes and packing material!!! It honestly brings tears to my eyes to think about the gratitude I feel. Not only do they have a phenomenal understanding of the real estate market, but they explain things simply, easily, clearly with compassion and care. Their love for what they do comes across in all their relationships & interactions, and I would hands down recommend them to anyone and everyone knowing without a doubt that they will do everything they can to ensure you have an exceptional experience. read more

Working with Emma and Brian ultimately was a disappointing experience. While they seemed very knowledgeable at first, it was clear that we were just another number in their stats that they like to continuously display. When you hire a realtor, you worry you are just another client for them to make their commission off of, and that is how we felt. Our first red flag was when they suggested a list price that was too low and did not bring appropriate comps to our consult. We researched enough to know we could list higher. We listened to our gut, listed higher, and even got 7 offers (many over list price), in an extremely tough, high interest rate market. When it came to negotiation, the first thing on the phone from Emma was "ok what questions do you have?" For us, we'd prefer to go into that conversation with some guidance on how the offers looked so we could have an appropriate discussion. You hire experienced realtors for their experience, so where was that? When it came to the actual negotiation, they were unable to handle difficult conversations with the buyer's agent. Even seeing screenshots of their conversations, they simply would communicate as a middle-man that would say things like "I will ask the sellers and see!" to ridiculous counter offers. When you are in a negotiation, you want someone who is on your side, pushing to get you the best deal, and putting you ahead of the buyer's agent and buyers. It felt as though they wanted to be liked by everyone, and would push us to make concessions instead of the buyer's agent. Again, we listened to our gut, even though Emma and Brian made us feel like if we didn't accept the ridiculous counter offer, that the buyers would back out. Of course, the buyers did not back out and we were able to at least reduce the amount of seller credits. This was a prime example of Emma and Brian putting the close of the deal over us. After escrow closed and we were in our rent back period, the relentless buyers agent who had consistently been communicating very bombastically and clearly had an over-the-top negotiation style, relentlessly pushed to have their buyers do additional inspections while we were packing to leave. Considering we had a lengthy inspection contingency and a reasonable escrow timeframe, we pushed back and said we want to focus on packing and don't need additional inspections that the buyers could do on their own time after they moved in. Emma and Brian continuously pressured us to let them in (which felt like they were trying to save face with the buyer's agent and not upset him, which just led to us being upset). When we did let the buyer's agent in with a termite inspector (reminder escrow is already closed at this point), even the termite inspector was shocked that he was doing an inspection during our rent back period and he also expressed extreme frustration with working with Emma and Brian. Lastly, other small things. If you want a realtor to be involved most steps of the way, including open houses, they won't be. Emma went to one of three open houses. The other two open houses were with realtors that had no background of our listing or the things we were looking for. While looking on the ring camera, one of the realtors let people bring dogs into our house. One realtor didn't follow directions and closed our listing early, where we saw prospective buyers come to a locked door from our ring camera. We called Emma multiple times, were greeted with a "full voicemail box" and finally heard back from her later in the evening explaining it was a mix up. There was also a mix up with lender credits where we lost 5K, and they threw everyone under the bus before trying to help us out. The Barron team is a high-volume group that will tout their number of sales per year. If you are looking for a hands-on, informative agent that will negotiate for you and follow-through with their promises, I would look elsewhere. They have an answer and excuse for everything, so I'm sure they will for this post as well. There are so many other great realtors out there, I would not put the sale of my house in their hands again. We are very direct people that let Emma and Brian know our concerns once they happened. Even Brian agreed they seemed to be having some missteps in the past year. I believe this is due to them focusing on team expansion (look at the number of agents they have added within the past year) instead of focusing on their clients. It is clear their priorities are set on empire expansion and not their clients. We have had wonderful experiences with every other realtor we have worked with in buying and selling our homes (follow through, negotiation help, guidance, and so much more), so I know there are great alternatives out there. read more

Emma and Brian did an excellent job of navigating what turned out to be a fairly complicated situation with our Condo sale. There were hangups with the HOA and the insurance companies involved in coverage, and therefore the buyer's loan was not as straightforward as we initially thought. Ultimately, we were able to successfully close, at the asking price, after only a nominal delay. As a real estate professional myself, but in a different sector, i knew how important having the right team is. I highly recommend Emma and Brian, and their expertise and communication were unmatched. Thank you! read more

Started off with Brian on an investment property then he passed me to Meital who was just trying to get the quickest sale. She just made up rental numbers trying to make the numbers look good. My final straw was when she sent me a professional rental report the sellers had done since they considered renting the house instead of selling. The Report said I could get $3700 for the Poway house but she said I'd get $4500. I asked how she justified that and her reasoning was "I get $4500 for my San Marcos rental and this house is nicer." Go with a different agent that will work for you instead of herself. read more
