He was very honest, direct and wasn't afraid to give us the straight talk when we needed it. Bruce was our real estate weapon of love. Thanks Buddy!

If you are seriously looking for a home, I would recommend Bruce Levine wholeheartedly. We had been house hunting for about a year and a half without any luck, so we decided to find a new realtor. I discovered Bruce on Yelp, and based on his wonderful reviews and experience buying/selling in Encinitas, we decided to give him a call even though it was a Sunday morning. Within minutes, he called and emailed us back in order to get additional information and to arrange a meeting. His promptness was just the first of the many great traits we were soon to experience while working with Bruce Levine. Through every step of the process, Bruce made us feel like prized clients, and his dedicated nature and thorough understanding of the business made everything much easier for first time buyers like us. He goes the extra step in everything and in each part of the process. From calling and emailing us beyond the MLS listing about houses, to constant updates in regards to our offer and counter-offer, to completely on top of each step of the escrow process to make sure it would close on time, he knew what and when things needed to happen to make sure we got our home. He provided services above and beyond what we would have ever expected with a realtor. Within six months of our initial meeting, we are now happy homeowners for the first time and we are so grateful we had Bruce to guide us!

As first time home buyers, my husband and I were looking for a realtor that would be patient and informative. We highly recommend Bruce! He spent a lot of time listening to what we wanted and guiding us through the home buying process. From the very beginning, Bruce was helpful and insightful. He did an excellent job of breaking-down the process, answering all of our questions, and educating us so that we were confident we were making informed decisions. He was always honest and offered us his professional opinion so we would not fall into the trap of falling in love with the first house we saw. Then, when the time did come to make an offer we were ready and knew what to expect and what it would take to get the home and not disappointment. His goal is to get you the house you truly want and not sell you just anything that your imagination makes you think you can work with. His relationships with other realtors paid off when he was able to ascertain that there was already a cash offer at list price. Bruce advised us on how to get the house without cash, but a large down payment; even going as far as submitting a personal letter for us to the homeowners. If you want to spend a year submitting low-ball offers then Bruce is not for you. Overall, he was upfront and honest with what it takes buy a home in a completive buying market and he got it done all the way from the offer to close of escrow. We followed his guidance with inspections and escrow and are now the happy owners of our first home and have no regrets. Bruce was informative and professional but he was also very caring, genuine, and a pleasure to work with. He was accessible and responsive: returning emails and text messages in a very timely manner. If Bruce is not working with a client, he will answer his phone. When you're in the process of buying a house and time is a factor, being able to reach your realtor makes for a pleasant process and great piece of mind.

Working with Bruce when we purchased our home in Ramona was great. We had a "Short Sale" transaction that we were not familiar with. Bruce was very knowledgeable on the process, walked us through each step in what turned out to be a 4 month transaction. He was very patient with us and was on top of each situation that would arise. I would not hesitate to use Bruce again in any future real estate transactions. Todd and Debbie B.

As a first time buyer, Bruce provided honest and helpful guidance every step of the way. Not your typical realtor, as there was no pressure to buy. Bruce genuinely cares that you feel comfortable with any decision made. He is passionate about his job and is very knowledgeable of the local market, I trusted all his suggestions, which is important especially during bidding. Bruce is excellent at staying in constant communication, he always responded quickly to any email, text, or call. Bruce made my first home buying experience easy, while I know he was working hard to ensure we closed on time without any problems.<br/><br/>I will use Bruce for any future buying or selling and definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, dedicated realtor.

We couldn't be more pleased that we chose Bruce to represent us in the purchase of our first home. Due to the nature of my work I've had the opportunity to meet numerous real estate agents over the past ten years. And I've built relationships with many of the best in all of Southern California. When it came time to select a Realtor to work with Bruce was at the top of our list. Bruce's attention to detail and constant communication kept us sane during a normally crazy and nerve wracking experience. I would recommend Bruce every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Amanda and I cannot thank you enough for the time, knowledge and effort you put forth getting us into our new home!!

I had the opportunity to work with Bruce Levine for a short time while I was in the real estate business, so I already knew his credentials as an agent. When my wife and I decided it was time to purchase in the San Diego area, in my mind there was no other option than to call Bruce for representation. I had spent about five years representing buyers as a real estate agent myself, mostly in the Phoenix area, and I came to know a lot of people in the field. As in any line of work, there are good ones and bad ones. But the single most important criterion I looked for in other agents during those years came down to one word: Trust. Can they be trusted to be knowledgeable about the business, can they be trusted to represent clients with total honesty and transparency, and can they be trusted to act with the highest ethical standards. To my surprise, there were many that failed on some, and often all, of these facets. I'm happy to say that Bruce Levine excels in all these facets, and that's why we chose him as our buyer's agent. On top of the aforementioned qualities, Bruce also possesses other traits that in my mind are indispensable, such as: responsiveness. my calls and/or emails would be followed up within minutes, every time. Also, availability. We dragged him all around North County San Diego every week for three months until we found the right house. And lastly, connections. Bruce steered us to some terrific talent in the flooring, painting and mortgage broker businesses that made the buying process easier. In short, whether you're a first time buyer or someone who's bought and sold a half dozen homes like us, you can trust Bruce Levine to represent you with the utmost in professionalism. He has our highest recommendation.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Bruce to buy our first house. He went above and beyond showing us homes, condos, town-homes all over San Diego County. While acting as partly as marriage counselor, he was able to show us an amazing opportunity near the coast that met all of our criteria. His excellent communication skills and rapport with the selling agent allowed us to actually under-bid a competing investor who wanted to pay with cash. Bruce has high standards for himself and his clients and if you are checking up on his work, that is a good sign you would be able to work well with him.

Bruce did a great job helping us purchase two investment condos. He got a sense that we like to do a lot of research ourselves and helped us when we needed it. He also gave honest opinions on certain condos which were not good investments. He really shined when we were in escrow. Both of our condos were short sales, which makes the process MUCH more complicated. He sent us many gentle reminders to keep us on track and kept in constant contact with the seller's bank, our broker, etc to make sure the deal went through on time. Personable, honest, detail-oriented. Great job Bruce!

I found Bruce on Yelp when I was thinking about buying a house. Being a first time buyer I wasn't sure what to expect. I am very glad to have worked with Bruce. He is extremely dedicated and really makes you feel like you're his only client. Within 2 months, Bruce found me a great house and we closed on time. I wasn't expecting the process to be so smooth and stress free! I'd recommend Bruce to anyone. He knows the market well and genuinely cares that you come away happy. Get in contact with Bruce if you want a realtor who will give you the best home buying experience possible!

My husband and I were going to be first time home buyers when we first met Bruce. He helped us begin the process of buying our first home. At that time we decided to rent for another year so we could get our finances better situated...Fast forward a year and a half from then and we were NOW ready! Bruce patiently waited for us to be "ready" and never pressured us into the home buying process. Not only were we ready to buy but my husband was about to leave for a 6 month deployment. So, this meant it was up to me to navigate through this process on my own. THANK GOODNESS I had Bruce Levine to help me along as well. In the beginning I was a little frustrated with Bruce's methods. He needed my husband and I to be pre-approved before I was able to look at any houses with him. Now pre-approved doesn't mean pre-qualified. We went through the entire home loan process, we used a VA loan, so we knew exactly what our price point would be and what we could afford in this market. Bruce also referred me to an amazing home leading service who made that process quite painless. I HIGHLY recommend Bruce as a real estate agent. He knows his "stuff" and will always have your best interest in mind. It's all about YOUR needs and not his. You will honestly feel like his one and only client and he will do everything he can to get you the home of your dreams, within reason of course!!! Thanks Bruce for everything you did for Frank and I! We couldn't have done it without you!!! You will forever be our real estate agent as long as we are in San Diego!!!
