From the very beginning, Robert made everything feel manageable. He was incredibly patient during all the open houses we attended and always looked out for our best interest. He communicated with the sellers, helped us understand the bidding process, and guided us through every step. He also made sure we closed right on schedule and negotiated strongly on our behalf. Robert kept excellent communication flowing between us, the sellers, and the lending team. He's professional, extremely helpful, and always brought a positive, uplifting energy to the entire experience. We couldn't have asked for a better Realtor.

We came in…read morefrom out of town and had only 2 days to look at homes and Mike gave us his complete attention and worked very hard to show us over 25 homes in those 2 days. He really listened to what we wanted and also read through the lines to help us. We were returning to California after being gone for 22 years, so things had really changed! After we found the home, we ran into several hurdles with the selling agent, who was incredibly difficult to deal with!!! Mike has the ability to remain calm and has incredible negotiating skills! Mike and his team worked tirelessly to get this deal done. Mike had to go out of town right after the contract was signed, and his team was very proficient in handling details while he was gone. Even when we were ready to cancel the deal and start over, he was willing to let us make that decision and he remained positive, reassuring us we would find another home, never giving up. He has continued to stay in touch and has helped me find a good realtor in another location for my sister. Always seems to be available, if not immediately, very quick to respond. I was a realtor in another state, so I know a good realtor when I meet one. He is the best!!

He has helped us find a great house for one of our kids, assisted in the selling of my mother-in-laws house in Oxnard, found me three great rental properties, found my wife and I our dream retirement home and sold my residence of 27 years. Mike is a tireless professional. He is always available and patient to explain some of the finer points of real estate. His negotiations skills are second to none and he has saved me literally thousands of dollars in transactions because of this. Mike takes the time to "learn his customers". He listens and understands what you're looking for and will preview and screen properties in order to save you from looking at properties that don't fit your needs. He is a cut above everyone else I've met in the real estate industry. There may be some as good, but none better!

IQ Realty is Beyond Incompetent--They Are Dangerous and Negligent…read more I have experience in rental properties, and I would never, in a million years, treat tenants the way IQ Realty treated us. Their complete lack of professionalism, blatant disregard for tenant well-being, and outright incompetence made renting from them an absolute nightmare one that put our health and safety in serious jeopardy. Let's start with Stephen, the so-called "manager." This man was consistently rude, dismissive, and unprofessional even yelling at us on multiple occasions when we simply requested basic maintenance. Instead of addressing the endless issues with the house, IQ Realty acted like we were the problem for expecting a safe, livable home. And when I say issues, I mean nightmarish, unacceptable, lawsuit-worthy negligence: - No hot water for weeks after moving in, with IQ Realty dragging their feet on a solution. - Severe plumbing issues, "fixed" by random, unqualified handymen who made things worse. - Black mold throughout the home--never properly addressed putting our health at risk. - A major gas leak due to the incompetent, uncertified workers they sent which resulted in us being hospitalized. Let me say that again: IQ Realty's negligence put our lives in danger. - Embarrassingly lazy and ridiculous "repairs"like shoving toilet paper into a hole to hold up a toilet paper holder.That's their idea of maintenance. At every turn, IQ Realty ignored our concerns, treated us like an inconvenience, and refused to take responsibility for their dangerous neglect. I've worked in property management myself, and I can confidently say that this company is an absolute disgrace. They cut corners, they lie, they put profits over people, and they have zero respect for their tenants. I would never rent from them again, and I strongly urge anyone considering it to run the other way. This is not just a bad rental company this is a dangerous, unethical, and irresponsible business that has no place managing homes. If you value your health, safety, and sanity, stay far, far away.

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.

Let me first say that as far as being my property managers, I couldn't have asked for better people. They always let me know I was appreciated, and they never "checked up" on me. We had a great relationship, they trusted me and I paid my rent on time and respected the property and they knew they had nothing to worry about. Every so often they'd ask to come by to see if I needed anything, but for the most part they left me alone. The owner trusted them and their judgement of me and we all just got along wonderfully. Now, for the next part! A few months before my current lease was up, Anne called to let me know the owner was retiring and needed to sell, and did I possibly want to buy it? My fiancé and I did want to buy it! They then became our agents and it was like having family on our side. They were with me for the inspection, got the repairs handled quickly, and promptly answered any questions we had. When we ran into trouble securing a loan, Anne recommended someone for us to work with and we got approved! We just closed today and I'm sad I won't be dealing with the Kipfer's anymore, but I'm sure we'll be calling them for any future real estate needs we may have.
