As a real estate investor, I've had the opportunity to work with several agents in SD. Bruce is that rare individual whose commitment, dedication, and enthusiasm to the needs of my business are as authentic and reliable as I've ever experienced. He is involved in every step of the home buying process and truly shines in the more "challenging"of circumstances. It has been a pleasure working with Bruce and I look forward to a long and prosperous partnership.

As a first time home buyer, I know I'm a small fry in the real estate market. I've heard the horror stories and have cringed at the thought of finding a realtor who will take the time to help me find a home. I didn't know any realtors in the state of California, let alone San Diego, and had no idea where to start. Luckily, I found Bruce Levine's website. We met, we discussed ideals, and we worked through the pre-approval process. Fast forward through 3 days of 15 homes, countless e-mails, texts, phone calls, signatures, plus 3 written offers and we opened escrow on our first dream home within one week. (Yes, all that in one week!) 23 days later, I am proud to be a first time home owner, who was treated as a unique client, even though Bruce was always coming or going to meet another client just like me. I am amazed that I found a realtor who could get me through this process with an efficient patience. I'm amazed that a realtor can make me feel like his only client, even though I know there were others. I'm amazed that it wasn't about the commission, the hours devoted to the cause, or the countless miles to travel to North County to get the job done. I am thankful that it was about finding what I wanted, in a neighborhood that wasn't intimidating, that would hold its value as the market (hopefully) improves. I'm glad that I found Bruce, for now I have a lifelong realtor that's all over SD County. I'd gladly recommend him no matter what you're looking for. He'll go the extra three miles to make sure everything is perfect - just the way YOU want it!

I found Bruce on Yelp! What impressed me most was not that he had so many wonderful reviews but that they cover many years. Bruce helped my husband and I find a perfect house in our price range. It was a short sale and a VERY long process. We put an offer on the house in March of 2012. We closed in August of 2012. Bruce was there with us every step of the way, providing updates and information. He asked questions that gave him more insight into what we were looking for in terms of neighborhood, square footage and price range. He referred us to a fantastic loan officer as well as many wonderful contractors who helped us with necessary repairs on the house. We couldn't have done it without him. Bruce is honest, committed, straightforward and open. He explained things in terms we could understand and was happy and friendly every time I contacted him with questions (which was a lot!). Bruce has become more than a Realtor to my husband and I - he has also become a friend as well. We highly recommend Bruce!

Bruce Levine recently listed and sold my La Jolla / UTC condo. Bruce achieved an all time sales price record high for my model and floorplan in the subdivision. Bruce detailed a perfect strategy in our initial meeting, how to renovate, how to list, how to show, all to maximize the value of the property. Bruce's advise and council are highly valuable; he is honest and trustworthy and demonstrates integrity at the highest level. In the sales and negotiation process Bruce treated all parties with an incredible amount of respect. On the execution side, Bruce has access to dependable and high quality contractors and subcontractors. Bruce is extremely diligent and always prompt. He always follows up on time as promised with the appropriate amount of detail. Toward the end of the sale, there were a few minor hiccups related to my property, which Bruce navigated fairly and effectively to ensure a great outcome for all parties. Bruce is a pleasure to work with and I would strongly recommend him in any real estate transaction.

My husband and I owned a condo in Bankers Hill for about 8 years, and rented it out for the last 5. We moved east and periodically asked Bruce for his take on the real estate market, whether it would be prudent to sell or wait. He also periodically sent us updates on the area, which was very helpful. When the time finally came that it seemed we should sell before the market dipped again, Bruce was there and ready to assist. He didn't just list our home. He provided guidance that is hard to find when (a) you live two thousand miles away and (b) don't know much about real estate. He worked with our property management reps to get the condo inspected prior to our tenants vacating. He recommended a solid individual to do some suggested upgrades for an honest price and in a timely manner. He stayed in communication with us via text, email, and phone with updates as the unit was listed, shown, and ultimately under contract. He answered our questions throughout the process and was proactive in telling us what was happening and what would happen next. There was never a time when we were in the dark, confused, or even worried really, which is saying something with a transaction of this size. I trusted Bruce with the transaction from start to finish and only have great things to say about his advice and how the sale transpired. I would certainly recommend him for his knowledge of the area and professionalism as a realtor, but I would rate him even more highly for his personal attention and dedication to his clients.

Bruce helped us purchase a home in La Mesa for our 21-year-old daughter who just graduated from SDSU and landed her first job. For our budget of no more than $500,000, the available inventory in good neighborhoods and an easy commute to downtown San Diego is pretty slim, but Bruce didn't hesitate to take on the task. He definitely knows the neighborhoods in and around San Diego, and was extremely helpful in finding a house in a neighborhood where she would feel safe and comfortable. Throughout the process, he had multiple contact points with the seller's agent, our lender, the escrow company and even the termite contractor. Bruce was constantly available and meticulous and made sure every detail was attended to, which was extremely helpful as I was purchasing the house "site unseen" from over 400 miles away. My husband and I felt completely at ease that Bruce takes his reputation seriously and truly wanted the best for our daughter and us on a personal level. He will never rest until things are made right.

Bruce sold our house before it was put on the market, above asking price and we did not have to put a dime into fixing it up. Some of this is because of the current market but a lot of this is due to his connections and experience. Bruce made the sale very smooth and took care of all the details because we actually live across the country. Bruce is kind, well informed and he speaks to you honestly about the best decisions to make to get the most out of your sale.

Bruce helped me find and successfully purchase a great home in the right neighborhood. I'm thankful for him and his staff for their professionalism and diligence in navigating the process of becoming a new home owner. Thank you all so much for the many prompt replies, carefulness, and never letting me down throughout our few months working together. Would highly recommend!

Bruce and his support staff are, without a doubt, the best realtors in San Diego. He cares, personally and deeply, about his clients, and helps them find and get the home of their dreams. To be honest, when we found the house we really wanted, we found out that five people had put in offers on it, on the first day it was shown. Thanks to Bruce and the way he wrote our offer, we made it to the top two. The thing that won us the house was Bruce and his integrity and effort, his wisdom in thinking about the needs of the sellers as well as us, and his diligence in examining the property and reports on it. The other bidder offered half in cash and we got the house anyway, because Bruce is so gifted at what he does. We will be forever grateful. If you want someone who supports you 24/7, and will fight for you fairly and with great honor, Bruce Levine is your guy.

I am a real estate lawyer, and a broker, and I used Bruce to sell my Clairemont rental. Enough said!!! Honest, smart and ethical!

There can be only one. It's funny how a memorable movie line can transcend through various genres to include the real estate business. In 2009, my wife and I purchased our first home in San Diego. Although I had friends starting up in the San Diego real estate business, I was deployed on an aircraft carrier, and Jamie was home alone making the decisions on this house. After researching realtors, she came to the conclusion that Bruce Levine was the realtor for us. Long story short, Bruce made her feel comfortable from the start. A no-nonsense, roll-up-your-sleeves type of guy, Bruce was brutally honest and told Jamie not what she wanted to hear, but what she needed to hear. Ultimately, our first home purchase was a resounding success because of the efforts of this man. Fast forward seven years to 2016. What started out as a family of two had grown into a family of five! We loved our home, but came to terms with the fact that we were rapidly losing space. Jamie found a home right near ours that would be perfect for our growing family. Think back to that quote, "There can be only one..." In this present day, we have even more friends in the San Diego real estate business, but we have also been burned by mixing friendships with business before. Jamie and I had some soul searching to do, but in the end, we went with what we knew. Our experience with Bruce was so positive the first time, that it, like the movie quote, transcended our friendships. We gave Bruce our business again, but this time it was to simultaneously buy a house while selling our own; a feat not easily overcome. Bruce went to work quickly and expediently working with the selling agent of the house we wanted and started to talk contingencies. In the meantime, our house went on the market quickly. We navigated the waters of pricing our home, offers on the potential new home, and everything in between. We knew his work ethic from our first transaction, and were constantly reassured.

Bruce Levine is as honest, analytical, and dependable as real estate agents come. He was a pleasure to work with and found me the right house in a very difficult market for buyers. Bruce's MO is not about finding you a house to buy, it's about finding you the "right" house to buy. A subtle difference but one that's important to consider since buyer's agents only get paid if you buy a house. Often times, he would convince me to pass on a property rather than trying to convince me that it makes sense. In fact, Bruce knew what I wanted even more than I did! I had complete trust in Bruce throughout the buying process. For example, in the area I was looking at (Mira Mesa) people were placing offers between $10K - $80K above list price. Bruce knew what it would take to land a house. He knew which houses attracted buyers with ultra-low list prices only to engage in a bidding war until the house got overpriced. Often times, he convinced me to offer less than I was willing to or to pass on a property. He treated the whole process as if it was HIS money on the line, not just trying to make a sale. Sure, we got outbid on a couple of properties, but in the end, we closed on one that was probably $25 - $35K below value. I couldn't ask for anything better in a market like this. Bruce is able to see a situation and break it down into digestible components. He's rationale and doesn't allow emotions to obscure good decision making. For me, this was the second most important attribute (the first being honesty) when working with a realtor. I want to know the facts first and foremost. Then we can speculate about what the future holds and sure, throw in a 'gut feeling' every once in a while. For the most part we stuck with rationale, data-driven decisions. I was extremely satisfied working with Bruce Levine and I'm looking forward to our next home purchase together.
