We are moving back to the North County area from the East Coast and had a very limited window to see houses in person. Ahead of our visit, Holly did a great job listening to what we wanted, providing options for us to review, and gathering feedback to distill the market down to houses that fit all of our parameters. During our house hunting trip, Holly tirelessly showed us house after house, including several day-of additions, to ensure that we had a solid understanding of the market. During this time, Holly did a great job of sticking to our original vision while adapting to our feedback as we started to better understand the market. Through this process, we felt we able to make an informed decision despite only having a few days in the area. On the last day, we found a home that was the right combination of all the things we wanted and needed for this next chapter of our lives. With a clear first choice, Holly fought hard to ensure that we were able to secure a winning offer. With her help and guidance we got the offer accepted just as we were getting ready to leave California at the end of our house-hunting trip! Getting that offer accepted was a huge victory, but Holly's effort and value did not stop there. Through every step of the the escrow process, Holly continued to advise us and fight for the best deal. This effort saved us a lot of money and made us feel confident that we truly walked away with the best price the market would allow. Even after closing Holly has continued to be a vital asset as we transition back to California. By conducting walk throughs and working with the selling agent to ensure that the property is ready for move in, Holly has once again shown that she is committed to ensuring that our best interests are represented through every aspect of the real estate buying experience. In addition to all of these wonderful qualities, working with Holly was fun! We had a great time getting to know her and she turned what could have been an absolute grind into an enjoyable and educational experience. She has our absolute highest recommendation!

I sold my home through her, and also jointly purchased a new one with my mother. My mother listed her home, as well, so we had 3 transactions at once. She got me full asking price, and negotiated a significant amount off of our new home, as well aa extra items in the contract. The new house needed some work before we moved in & Sandy recommended quality contractors who were able to get the job done, even setting up some quotes herself to ensure we kept on track for our move in date. She truly goes above & beyond, I would highly recommend her whether you're buying or selling, she works very hard on your behalf and her great personality is a bonus!

When we decided to sell our longtime home and started interviewing agents, a friend recommended…read moreJeff Pashby of the Lund Team. I'm so glad she did! We were immediately impressed by his knowledge of the area, his research on our neighborhood and the time he took to evaluate our property and really listen to our goals. We were nervous about selling because we hadn't yet found a home we wanted to buy, but Jeff answered all our questions and assured us we had options and decision-making power every step of the way. After we signed on, Jeff and his fellow agent, Tammy Barbee, were amazing throughout the process. They helped price our home fairly and get it ready for a successful open house. Tammy even brought over plants from her own home to use for staging. The open house was two days after we listed, and we were blown away by the turnout. Within a few days, we had multiple offers and were under contract for well over our list price. Of course, we still had to find a new place to live! With the clock ticking, Jeff and Tammy scoured listings and showed us homes in our preferred neighborhoods while keeping our home sale on track as it moved through escrow. When we found a home in our top-choice neighborhood, we worried our offer wouldn't be considered because it was contingent on the sale of our current home. Jeff made it happen. He helped us put together an attractive offer, communicated constantly with us and the other agent, and worked tirelessly to keep everything moving. In short, Jeff and Tammy helped us do what we weren't sure was possible: sell our home quickly and for a great price, find a new home in our top-choice neighborhood, and get both transactions across the finish line on a tight timeline. Through it all, they were knowledgeable, responsive, reassuring and genuinely invested in helping us reach our goals. We couldn't be happier with the outcome or more grateful to Jeff and Tammy for making a stressful process feel manageable. We would recommend them without hesitation.

Serri was an absolutely exceptional real estate agent, and we can't recommend her and her partner…read moreGeorge highly enough. We hired Serri to sell our five-acre property with an exceptional panoramic view, our beloved home, and from the very first walkthrough she was extremely professional and thorough. She inspected every bit of the home and grounds and immediately knew how to position it to meet our specific goal: a quick sale, at a strong price, with no lingering on the market and no price reductions. A previous agent had pitched our home as a retirement property, which never sat right with us. Serri saw it exactly as we did, as a family home, and priced and marketed it accordingly. She brought in her own staging team, photographer, and videographer (including drone footage), and recommended a handful of relatively small, inexpensive updates, including a fresh paint job. The return on those modest changes was remarkable. They made a huge difference in how the home showed and clearly helped drive up buyer interest and the final sale price. Serri and George held a single open house that brought in over 100 visitors, and within 48 hours we had two offers above our asking price, from a family with young children and another who was ready to start one. Both could clearly picture themselves living there. Serri and George managed every step of the process with great care and skill. We were also in the middle of an international move at the time, which made everything more stressful, and Serri and George took every worry off our plate. Whether you're buying, selling, or just need solid advice, Serri and George are fantastic, and we recommend them without hesitation.
