Their communication is strong, they're responsive, and they clearly prioritize their clients' best interests. From day-to-day management to helping navigate the unexpected items that come up with rental properties, they're proactive and solutions-oriented. It's clear they take pride in the way they care for both owners and tenants. If you're looking for a property management team that's organized, professional, and genuinely invested, they're a great group to work with.

She replied to my messages promptly, and I'm very confident she would have managed my property to my full satisfaction. Todd: I didn't hear your voice message until a few days ago! 9 out of 10 calls I get are scams, so I have the habit of letting unknown numbers go to voicemail, and then forget to check my messages. Thank you for your call! If and when I do buy a rental property, Kristen will be the first person I call.

I had a fantastic experience with Michael and would recommend him without hesitation. From our…read morefirst phone call, he was warm and welcoming, and got the appraisal scheduled promptly within a few days. He arrived exactly on time, treated my home with respect, and was very professional throughout the walkthrough. What stood out most was his level of communication and the speed of delivery. I had the full appraisal report in less than 48 hours. He was easy to reach by text and email and even took the time to thoroughly go over the report with me by phone. The analysis was comprehensive, with clear data-backed insights that gave me full confidence in the valuation. Overall a great experience from start to finish and I would gladly use him again as an appraiser. He is also a realtor and I would not hesitate to use him to represent me as well!

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 worked with Kimberly recently when I bought my first condo. She was extremely welcoming and…read moreinformative, and made the intimidating experience of buying my first place a very pleasant one. 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!

We were with them for two years and everything was just so easy. Maintenance requests were always handled quickly (usually within 24/48 hours), and communication was always clear and super respectful every time.

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!

Unfortunately for our case, the dispute goes in favor of the other neighbor. He was very apologetic for delivering the bad news, but I really appreciated his knowledge and his honesty.

I spoke with John over the phone, and he took the time to clearly explain the nuances of property boundary surveys, material discrepancies, and how existing records and monuments factor into real-world situations. He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping me understand my options rather than immediately pushing a full survey. John reviewed my parcel ahead of time, referenced existing corner records, and explained what those records mean in practical terms - including when a survey may or may not be necessary. His explanations were clear, honest, and easy to follow, especially for someone who doesn't deal with land surveys regularly.

I wish I could give LJ Woodard 10 Stars on YELP - he deserves every one of them! LJ is most highly…read morerecommended! I had a tough choice to make because I knew several real estate agents in San Diego (all who charged 2.5 - 3.0 percent) and a couple who were friends of the family. I didn't know LJ - I actually found him by accident looking for the name of our old real estate agent. I talked to other agents and they essentially said "you get what you pay for" and "there is a reason he is so inexpensive". I agree. LJ asks for a reasonable fee and works very hard for you doing a great job - he is not greedy and earns a fair wage for a fair amount of work - in my experience, likely better than someone making two and one half times more money for the same job. LJ was fantastic at communicating with me nearly every single day. LJ was always available and he was always very straight forward. I had a VERY EASY sale and close and I credit that to a great home - a great buyer - and LJ ensuring I was prepared and ready for every step along the way. As an FYI, if you have a nice looking home, DEFINITELY purchase the premium photo package - the photos were WAY BETTER than anything I ever took. I look at homes online all the time and the ones they took of "my home" blow away what I typically see on Zillow for other homes. LJ is MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! For a million dollar home you can pay $10,000 or you can pay $25,000 for the same end product. Choose LJ and save money and reap the reward of having someone there with you every step of the way!

At inception, we thought we had a pretty straightforward escrow transaction. In reality, we ended up having an extremely complex transaction that involved the Title company and also some very crazy and rare problems. When there is an easy transaction almost any escrow company can complete the project, but the measure of a good or great escrow company is when there are unknown problems and issues that arise and how well do they help the buyer and seller work things out. This was the most complex escrow I have ever experienced, with some of the most bizarre events occurring and through it all Alysia Espinoza and her team at Alliance Escrow helped the buyer and seller complete a successful transaction.
