My family moved down to San Diego back in 2018 and we weren’t sure how long we’d stay. We fell in love with SD and were ready to start the buying process in 2023. After doing research on agents in the NE SD area (Poway, RB, PQ), I met with Chad for coffee to discuss our plans and all things real estate. It was great to know he grew up in Rancho Bernardo, had extensive knowledge of the various neighborhoods, and was well connected. He met my wife and kids a couple weeks later, and after my wife gave the thumbs up based on his laid back and friendly approach, we decided to work together for our purchase. Buying a house in 2023 is far from an easy task, but Chad made it as smooth as possible. I also appreciated that he never tried to take an easy way or cut any corners. Even if it was fairly obvious we weren’t going to get a place based on the price we were willing to pay, he never shied away from meeting us and writing up an offer to give us a chance while also never pushing us to make an offer we weren’t 100% comfortable with. We also considered buying in Temecula, and he was more than happy to make the long drive to check out a couple places with us. We ultimately found an amazing home in RB that we absolutely love. Chad viewed the property before us and thought it might be a good fit even though we weren’t interested based on the photos. Chad was right, it was a perfect fit. I’m confident in saying we wouldn’t own our home today if it wasn’t for Chad’s ability to navigate the offer and escrow process. Having previously purchased a couple properties in the Bay Area with an amazing real estate agent, I had high expectations for an agent. I expect an agent to be very knowledgeable of the area, be able to provide good insights on properties and opportunities for improvement, and of course be prompt and clear with communication. Chad delivered on all fronts, and some. He knew the path for getting the deal done and I’m very grateful he helped us find our forever home.
