We cannot say enough good things about our very satisfying experience working with Joel in selling our home. He is without a doubt an extraordinary negotiator. He got us a record-breaking money for our home in just a few days. As we understand, no other home like ours have ever sold for the price that he negotiated for us. Needless to say, that we are extremely delighted with this outcome. But this is not the only ability that impressed us about Joel. His attention to detail was unprecedented. We interview five realtors to sell our home. Joel was the last one and the only one that came into our home with a keen eye to notice all the upgrades that we have put into our home. He was listing them one by one as he toured our home. Improvements like crown molding, baseboard and their sizes, skylights and the remote control, awning, etc. etc. We were very impressed by that. But he also mentioned the common issue that the homes our community usually have, like dry rotted balconies that could potentially affect our selling price. After spending three hours with him, we hired him on the spot. This was a great decision!

We absolutely recommend Joel with no reservations. He was incredibly responsive and available and was well versed in all aspects of procedure, negotiation, and neighborhoods around San Diego. With his help (despite bizarre situations with our lender and previous owner/tenant) we were -able to close (below appraisal and with significant buyers' credits) on a house where we know we will happily raise our young son. Highest recommendation.

I cannot recommend the Blumenfeld Group highly enough for anyone looking to sell their home. This is the second time we've worked with Joel, and once again, the experience exceeded all expectations. Our current home sold in less than a day, a testament to Joel and Paris' exceptional expertise and dedication. What sets the Blumenfeld Group apart is their comprehensive approach to selling homes. Beyond just facilitating the sale, Joel and Paris go the extra mile to ensure that every aspect of the process is seamless. They have an extensive network of resources, including staging and cleanup services, which transformed our property from great to spectacular. As a result, we achieved a sale price far beyond what we had initially expected. Working with the Blumenfeld Group isn't just about selling a house; it's about achieving the best possible outcome while minimizing stress for the seller. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence make them the go-to choice for anyone considering selling their home. If you want top-notch service and outstanding results, look no further than the Blumenfeld Group.

Joel was amazing every step of the way. From helping us figure out what we needed to do to get the best value for our house, to the showings, and through all of the paperwork, Joel was never further than a text or a call away. His communication is top notch, we always knew what was going on in the process, what to expect, and when. Joel also got us above and beyond what we were hoping for our home, we really couldn’t ask for more. He truly is a top notch agent in every respects, and someone I’ll be recommending to all my friends and family.

Joel and his team are amazing. This was a tough situation to go through and he was attentive, available when ever needed, so knowledgeable understanding he went the extra mile in anything and everything we needed to get the house ready for sale. He made it as easy and simple as possible for me and my sister's to understand the process step by step. You rock!! Thanks again Joel
April P
I can't say enough good things about working with Joel! Not only did he sell our home in record time, but he also got $17,000 over our initial asking price! He was always available anytime we needed him, day or night. His staff was so quick sending over any documents that needed to be reviewed or signed and answered any questions we may have had regarding them. Joel was spot on when we asked what things we could do to improve our home to make it sell for more money. There's no question that when we're ready to buy our next home that we will be going through him again! Thank you so much Joel for all your hard work!

Joel and his team were communicative, informative, and highly engaged. His efforts ensured that my experience as a first time home buyer was seamless and successful, and as a result, I am now a homeowner! As a result of Joel's work, I was able to secure enough credit to replace the roof of the new home, and have enough free cash to begin working on some of the repairs and modifications to my new home that I never thought could happen so quickly. I would recommend Joel to anyone. In my experience working with financial advisors and professionals, Joel stands among the best, not just in San Diego County, but the Country. Thank you Joel!
Ora L.
I had the good luck of being introduced by my work relocation company to Joel Blumenfeld as a prospective listing agent. Joel was so very thorough, professional, easy to work with, and kept me fully informed and updated every step of the way during the selling and offer acceptance process. He came to our first meeting with a comprehensive and impressive binder brochure/book of recent and current listings and his services. It was a precursor to the quality and thoroughness that could be expected and delivered after we decided to work together. I also appreciated his tips and advice on pricing, staging (minimal needed) and listing the home. I highly recommend working with Joel. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Rishi V
Joel was absolutely fantastic to work with! He listened to our needs and goals, and crafted a strategy that resulted in an all-cash offer for our home with a week in a highly competitive neighborhood of San Diego. Joel is also very prompt and accessible. We would highly recommend Joel for your home selling and/or buying needs.
Rishi V
Joel gets 6 stars from me. The extra star is for honesty and integrity. Needless to say, if you are buying or selling your home or investment property, Joel will steer you in the right way. He is a good, fair and a hard working negotiator. I will use him again.
Chris Y.
Help me find a great home fast! A great condo in pacific beach. Joel was very knowledgeable about the San Diego neighborhoods and the value of the properties. I could not have found my place without him.
Chris Y.
Joel is professional and passionate about real estate. He went above and beyond to handle our complicated real estate transaction. Joel made everything seamless. He is easy to work with and I plan on using his services again, and again. I would highly recommend Joel and his team to anyone in need of real estate assistance.
Ted C.
We listed our home with three other agents before Joel and within a couple weeks of listing we received offers and went into escrow. Joel is very thorough and experienced in photo staging, market analysis and all other aspects that go into selling a home.

I am extremely happy that we found Joel to help us with the sale of our property. He is an amazing realtor who is patient, knowledgeable, and understanding! He not only knows the ins and outs, but he also takes the time to explain things and is very thorough and communicative. I think one of the things that stands out about him the most is that I know he has a lot of clients, but he made me feel like I was his only client! I can't say enough good things about Joel, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

We cannot speak highly enough of Joel as our real estate agent. His professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity, and work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. Buying and finding a house at the top of the market was not an easy task. Joel was very professional as well as personal. He is a fantastic realtor. Anytime there was a house we wanted to see Joel moved fast as houses were flying off the market. Not only did he negotiate and helped us to obtain the house of our dreams, but he also got top dollars for selling our condominium. Joel and his team are amazing, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home, you will not regret it!

Joel made the process of selling our family home so smooth. He was highly recommended and exceeded our expectations. He has a comprehensive knowledge of all the elements necessary to prepare and market a home for sale. It was so reassuring to work with a professional who is such a good communicator, always responsive and reliable. I feel so very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Joel. I would ask for his help buying or selling without hesitation.

Julie & Gary
Joel was amazing! He began working with me months before I was ready to list my home. He gave me an analysis of what needed to be done prior to listing the house. He hooked me up with a great handyman team that took care of everything and did an awesome job. He listed my house and sold it within just a few days for more than the asking price. His negotiation skills got me a month of rent-free time in my home after closing as well as another optional month where I could rent the house back if necessary. I can't speak highly enough of Joel - he is terrific!

Justin F.
Joel is the *go to* realtor in San Diego. I would not execute a residential real estate transaction in San Diego without his services. My fiancé and I both had homes to sell and a new home to buy in the challenging real estate market of 2021 and Joel's knowledge and expertise made the entire experience smooth. There were countless times when Joel helped with issues that neither my fiancé nor I had foreseen. Before any problems with a transaction could arise, Joel already had solutions ready to implement. We received great value in all three transactions. Joel is highly recommended!
Justin F.
Katherine C.
Joel helped my fiancé and I buy a new house, and then sold both of our condos. The transaction was a little tricky, as we wanted to purchase the new house prior to selling our residences and without any contingencies. In addition to handling all of the negotiations on our buy/sells wonderfully, Joel went above and beyond in working with our lender to make sure we were able to buy the house of our dreams. From understanding our wants and needs to getting us the best price on our purchase and sales, Joel provided us with outstanding service. He was incredibly responsive and patient with all of our questions and helped us navigate every step fo the process. I would recommend Joel to anyone who is looking for a stress-free purchase and/or sale!

What to say? Nothing but 5-star accolades and gratitude to Joel Blumenfeld. Truly, across the board! Joel was such a kind a pleasant person to work with, and so professional, efficient and discerning. I have never sold a house before this and I felt 100% confident and informed every step of the way. Joel has set the bar encouragingly and pleasantly high for his field. He is a true leader, team player and natural talent. Thank you Joel!

Joel is awesome. There were 14 offers on the home we were trying to buy, and Joel's knowledge of the market and excellent negotiation skills are what convinced the seller to accept our offer. I have worked with many agents in the past, both as a buyer and a seller. I can say with confidence that Joel is by far the most involved, knowledgable, and competent agent I have worked with. He kept in touch with us throughout the entire escrow process and he is the reason we were able to buy a home in an extremely competitive market. Give Joel a call, you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Joel!
Nathan
We were put in contact with Joel through our relocation company after previously talking to two other agents. Joel impressed us right away with his energy, experience and marketing plan to sell our house. The entire process went very well and we couldn't be happier. This was the 5th time in our lives selling a house and my wife and I both believe Joel is the best agent we've worked with.
Sofia M.
Joel deserves more than 5 stars! Being a first time home buyer relocating to San Diego Joel went above and beyond to make the whole process as seamless as possible. He walked me through all the steps and was always super responsive. When I was not able to be there physically, he would walk me through everything by video and would provide local contacts to make my life easier. He is super knowledgeable about the area and helped me get the condo that I like .

Draganov D.
I would like to highly recommend Joel as one of the most experienced, professional and responsible real estate agent I have ever worked with. He managed to sell my condo in downtown San Diego in a tough market and helped me go through the process in smoothest way possible. Joel is extremely knowledgeable of the market, trends, difficulties and opportunities and you can always count on getting an objective and very professional advice, planning in advance, building a successful market strategy, and creating leverage in the negotiations. He is a very responsible and reliable agent who responds to all concerns and issues in a very timely manner and provides all of the needed information to help decide on the right course of action, which makes selling a home and relocation much easier and stress-free. I would highly recommend his services.

We were very happy with Joel as our realtor. He always responded to call within moments. Was very efficient and knowledgeable. Just plain great service.
Rob G.
Joel is a fantastic agent to work with! My fiance and I were initially assigned to work with a different agent who did not meet our satisfaction, and on the recommendation of my sister, we switched to Joel and we could not have been happier. He was patient, listened to our needs, made time for us despite our crazy schedules, and knew which areas to point us towards. The home we ended up purchasing was one that he recommended and we are really happy with it. If you are looking for an agent, I highly recommend Joel due to his professionalism, attention to detail, friendliness, openness, and great negotiation skills. You could not do better!

Looking for an outstanding agent who can sell your home for the HIGHEST value in your neighborhood AND find you your DREAM HOME in an incredibly challenging market? JOEL IS YOUR GUY. We were referred to Joel from our family members, and after MONTHS of working with random agents through redfin who weren't invested in our process, Joel was a breath of fresh air. We knew the exact community we wanted to live in, and Joel searched high and low until we found our perfect home. He made the process EXTREMELY easy for us. He answered every text, call, email ASAP, and explained the complicated home buying and home selling process to us with ease and proficiency. He was easy to talk to, a pleasure to work with, and kept us laughing during stressful times. We have since recommended him to several of our friends as well. Thank you Joel for making our dreams come true and helping us find our forever home, and selling our previous home at top dollar! Cannot recommend him enough!
Emily P.
Joel hands down is such an amazing, knowledgeable agent. He made us feel comfortable, very trustworthy and genuinely there for the client’s best interest. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy, sell properties. Thanks Joel for making the whole process smooth!
Unruh A.
To put it simply, Joel is just the best. He helped my wife and I (first time buyers) navigate an extremely difficult market to find a good deal for us. He is extremely ethical and did everything in his power to protect us and make sure no mistakes were made. He is a super honest guy and I could not ask for a better realtor. I highly recommend Joel to anyone and everyone, he's the man.
Unruh A.
WOW!!! This process was so smooth with Joel and his team. He was extremely knowledgeable and walked us through the entire process. Joel makes you feel comfortable, and at ease through this extremely overwhelming experience. I will NEVER look anywhere else for a realtor.
Birdie B.
Joel is an amazing Realtor, going above and beyond in helping clients prepare to sell their homes. He understands the attachment we have to our homes and the difficulties in letting go of a place where so many memories reside. He is patient and kind but also provides strong support in doing what needs to be done to sell your house. He is knowledgeable and has strong communication skills. He sold my aunt’s home and our home and I would happily recommend him to anyone else who wants to be guided through the real estate process whether you’re buying or selling a home.
Birdie B.
I was a long distance/out of town buyer and had an opportunity to work with Joel to purchase a great property in San Diego. Joel went above and beyond by virtually walking me through the property, taking videos of the neighborhood, and he even went on-site for all of the inspections (roof, home, and sewer). Asides from being a great agent, Joel is a damn good person. I got a chance to grab beers with Joel and learned about him and his family. I consider him a friend and someone I trust to help me with my real estate needs.
Joel and his team were incredibly professional and knowledgeable in their assistance with the sale of my house in Chula Vista. I hadn't stepped foot in the house in over a decade and he was methodical and efficient in his suggested improvements. I was on a tight timeline to get the house sold and he made it happen by negotiating cash for keys and getting the house ready to show without any days lost. When it came time for closing negotiations he made all the options clear and I'm very happy with the outcome. He clearly knows the San Diego market well and I would highly suggest working with him.
Eloise F.
Everything went smoothly and I was pleased with the process and the outcome. I got more than the asking price. Joel and Paris (his associate) were very accomodating and helpful.

Joel is amazing! He helped us buy our first home on 2015, sell that home 8 years later and buy our dream home. Both times buying, he helped us figure out what we really wanted in a home and neighborhood, and helped find homes that checked off all our boxes. He also educated us on different financing options, so we understood better what we could afford each time we bought. He was invaluable in selling our home as well. Without Joel, we had tried for a few months to sell our home with no success. After we called Joel, we made a few minor updates he recommended to the house, and the house was sold in a weekend for over our asking price. He is really knowledgeable, dedicated to his clients and takes the time to make buying/selling a home a happy (and not stressful) event. He truly is the best!

Joel is prompt, professional, and in your corner. This was the 2nd time my wife and I leveraged Joel's expertise to secure our dream home. Joel helped to shed light on what to watch out for when making a home purchase, helped us understand the types of inspections that were most relevant to the type of home we wanted, and hustled on our behalf to turn our dream into a reality... Oh, and did I mentioned that once we had the deal done for the home we wanted to purchase, Joel then put our current home on the market and had it sold in less than 10 days for over-asking price! We are still amazed at how fast it all happened, and we feel so blessed to have had Joel representing us in both the buy and sell roles.

Anne S.
Joel was wonderful. We had a very positive experience selling our house in Mira Mesa. I live out of state and the process was going to be very stressful. He handled everything and kept me in the loop so I knew what was going on throughout the process. I highly recommend working with him.

Guy M.
We had a terrific experience buying our first home with Joel. His knowledge of the market and professionalism helped us negotiate a deal below asking at a time when most homes were going ~10% over asking. When the first-time buyer anxiety got to us (and we had random questions at all times of the day) we'd text him and hear back within the hour - he was literally available 24/7. Joel also picked up the phone every single time we called him - which was a significantly better experience than the first agent we were working with. We all got lucky and had an offer accepted within one week of working together. He walked us through the closing process patiently and answered all of our questions. Even though we only worked together for 4-weeks, it was abundantly clear to us that Joel knew what he was doing and had our best interests in mind. Unfortunately, that's not a characteristic that all realtors share. We strongly recommend Joel Blumenfeld as your agent and look forward to working with him again in the future!

Prepare to be impressed by Joel's professionalism, knowledge, and integrity. Responsiveness? Send him a text at 6:00 a.m. and he'll get back to you within the hour. No one will work harder for you. Expecting stress? Joel will undoubtedly remain calm, respectful and patient during emotional moments when you may question your sanity or ask yourself "what the hell have we done?" Worried he'll be the rainmaker who secures your listing and then hands you off to an associate? Joel was our ONLY contact up until we started escrow. We can testify to all this because we chose Joel to represent the sale of our home, and he exceeded our expectations every day we worked with him. In a single word, he was AMAZING. Despite an aggressive timeline for closing and vacating our home, Joel went above and beyond to flawlessly execute the sale of our property. Months after closing, when we had given up on resolving an outstanding issue with the escrow company, Joel volunteered to intervene and managed to get the issue resolved in a matter of days. We are fortunate to have worked with Joel and confident you will have the same experiences we did.
Lisa H.
I can not say enough good things about Joel and his company. I have never sold a house and I was really scared to do this as a single woman. Joel walked me through the whole process and made it so easy for me. It was effortless and I never thought it could be such a pleasant and fun experience. He helped me with the necessary upgrades to make my house sell and sell quickly! We only showed my house for 2 or 3 days, got so many offers, and closed very quickly! Joel is the absolute best and if are in need of an excellent , professional, funny and sweet realtor, call Joel!!!

Joel and Paris were extremeley communicative, knowledgeable, and congenial through out the entire process. Selling a home is one of the most stressful situations I have ever experienced. They made the process smooth, laid everything out so we knew exactly what was going on, gave us our options clearly. We could not have asked for better realtors!

Joel helped us from day one with suggestions for preparing my aunt’s house for sale. Joel kept us informed about the sale process and obtained eighteen offers on the house. Joel walked me through the closing process with the least stress. I highly recommend Joel Blumfeld as your future realtor.

Joel went above and beyond! As someone new to San Diego, Joel had the patience to show me the full spectrum of what was in my range and then had the knowledge to help accurately narrow my search, ultimately ending in the perfect home. His responsiveness was impressive, I never had to wait in him. His responsiveness and professionalism was crucial in securing the winning offer and he was fully supportive all the way until I finally got the keys in my hand.

I can't begin to tell you how impressed we were with Joel's knowledge, professionalism, willingness to go above and beyond, and just being an all around stand up guy. We purchased a home in La Mesa from Maui, Hi and Joel helped us a lot when we were not able to physically be there to do things for the home. I was referred to Joel by 2 good friends that also gave raving reviews about working with Joel and how smooth the whole process went. We'd work with him again in a heartbeat the next time we plan to buy or sell.

Joel and Paris made my home buying experience very easy and straightforward. As a new home buyer, I didn’t understand the process of purchasing a new home, but Joel walked me through each step and explained the process along the way. He was open to questions and very quick to respond. Joel helped me choose homes to tour in-person, set me up with an escrow company, and kept me on task to close on time. Working with Joel was a pleasure and I recommend him as a realtor.

Kathleen & Donnie D.
Joel went above and beyond to help us buy our first home. We knew nothing about the home buying process, and he guided us through it all with so much kindness and never any judgment for our many questions. It is no wonder that he came highly recommended to us from friends who have worked with him in the past. He was extremely accessible via text and call, no matter what day it was. He helped us find a home within 10 days and when it came time to put it in offer, his expertise and rapport with the selling agent made it possible for the sellers to choose us from the many offers they received. We truly believe we couldn't have gotten this dream first house without Joel's help. He has an incredible team, The Blumenfeld Group, that works with him to help keep everything in the escrow process on track. With his team, we felt less stressed and never missed a deadline (shout out to Paris). If you don't yet have pre-approval for a mortgage loan, or you're wanting to work with someone to find the best option for you, then Joel can recommend the lender he works with. Between the lender and Joel, we never had to worry about delays from budgeting to pre-approval to placing an offer all the way to official loan approval. Also, he has great connections with inspectors, contractors, and more who have all come through for us! We couldn't be happier with the entire home buying experience. All thanks to Joel! And he is so thoughtful - he and Paris surprised us with a beautiful house warming gift basket so that we (and our dog!!) could celebrate becoming homeowners. We will definitely reach out to him in the future regarding any buying/selling needs.
Kathleen & Donnie D.
Everything went smoothly and I was pleased with the process and the outcome. I got more than the asking price. Joel and Paris (his associate) were very accomodating and helpful.
Arman T.
Joel helped and absolutely guided us through selling of our home. He offered tips and notes that other agents would hold close to the chest. He was personnel and always professional... He cares about his clients wants and needs and never puts money first. He puts the customer first. Joel was always one call away if we needed any advise. He was able to guide us through multiple offers that we received on our house and was able to sell it for a top dollar. Thank you Joel for all your hard work!!!
Arman T.
I have been working with Joel on couple of properties since 2019. Joel and Paris are exceptionally knowledgeable in real estate, which can otherwise be challenging. Joel and his team made the process easy, was always available to answer questions and was a great guide through process of selling and purchasing properties. I highly recommend them and looking forward on working on future properties together.
Phil & Lita S.
We were new to house hunting and were fortunate to meet Joel at an open house. Almost immediately, we felt comfortable with him and decided to use him as our realtor. He patiently guided us through the process, and helped us narrow down the criteria we wanted in a house. Especially helpful was his deep knowledge of renovations, allowing us to explore the possibility of buying a fixer upper. During the negotiation process, his tips allowed us to put forth competitive bids and navigate the counterbidding. When our bid was finally accepted and we closed on the house, his contacts were invaluable. From his inspector to contractors, all of his recommendations were trustworthy and very competent. His combination of friendliness, professionalism and responsiveness are simply a cut above.
Phil & Lita S.

I chose to work with Joel and his awesome team because he is top-rated and came highly recommended. I have been incredibly impressed with him every step of the way. He is a fantastic realtor who knows the ins and outs of the business and has his finger on the pulse. He fielded tons of questions from me and walked me through every step of the process with kindness and high-quality professionalism. I never once felt confused or rushed or dropped. He communicates efficiently and addressed all my needs. He even has a ton of great referrals in nearly every industry to help you settle in once the sale closes. He is more than just a realtor, and it’s obvious to anyone who has worked with Joel that he really cares about his clients and works hard for them. I recommend him 100%.
Eli R.
Joel and Doron are hands down the best agents in town. They were able to secure our new home at the price we wanted and sold our old home well over list price. They reply to texts, emails and calls in seconds and didn't forget a single detail along the way. We were on a tight timeline and they pulled out all the stops and spared no expense to ensure our listing showed in it's best light (twilight)! We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Joel is a highly professional realtor. Very responsive to his client’s needs. He’s knowledgeable about homes and the San Diego area. Joel helped us through our entire relocation process and was a great support. Thanks!

Kyle & Heer H.
My wife and I choose Joel to as our real estate agent, and were really happy we did. Our first offer was accepted 2 weeks after we met Joel the first time, and we have recently settled into that home which met nearly every requirement and very near our budget. While we found the listing ourselves late at night when we got an email notification, Joel sprung into action as soon as we sent the address. We appreciate everything he did as far as helping us make a winning offer, understanding the various quirks with the home, taking care of our inspections, helping us get some credits to resolve issues, and finally, closing exactly on schedule despite our mortgage being FHA. I can clearly see why Joel is one of the top agents in San Diego country and would immediately recommend him to anybody who’s preparing to buy or sell a home. He takes buyers requirements seriously and is honest if expectations are in reach or not. He’s good at discussing pros and cons about the home and we never felt any pressure from his side to make a decision (which is an experience we found with another unrelated agent we were interviewing). Joel’s even been helpful in the tiny things that cropped up after we moved in!

I cannot recommend the Blumenfeld Group highly enough for anyone looking to sell their home. This is the second time we've worked with Joel, and once again, the experience exceeded all expectations.

What a seamless experience thanks to your professionalism and expertise. Your photography brought the showings and your salesmanship brought a quick sale. Our sale was unprecedented in our building all due to your grand plan. 3rd transaction and looking forward to future deals with you!

I am extremely happy that we found Joel to help us with the sale of our property. He is an amazing realtor who is patient, knowledgeable, and understanding! He not only knows the ins and outs, but he also takes the time to explain things and is very thorough and communicative. I think one of the things that stands out about him the most is that I know he has a lot of clients, but he made me feel like I was his only client! I can't say enough good things about Joel, and I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

Joel was great - from start to finish - helping us prepare to put our home on the market, and getting it sold over-asking within 48 hours of listing. We would 100% use him again for any real-estate transaction in the future!

Joel and his associate Stephanie Pitell-Valdez were of the utmost class and professionalism during our recent home buying and selling process in late 2017/early 2018. Their attention to detail, vast knowledge of the local real estate market, and representation of us as customers really made our experience simple and enjoyable (and profitable!). We were able to capitalize on key opportunities and find a great new home in a wonderful neighborhood, due in huge part to the time and expertise that Joel and Stephanie provided for us. I would HIGHLY recommend Joel and his team for any real estate needs, as they truly were an advocate for us and assisted us through the entire process. Thanks again to the Blumenfeld Group team!

Joel was fabulous to work with. He walked me through difficult decisions, providing professional advice, but always allowing me the final decision. He was so responsive to any questions, concerns I had. My house sold within days. I was very happy!

I work as a real estate photographer and have met and worked with many agents over the years. When my wife and I decided it was time to start shopping for our first home we knew we wanted to work with Joel. I’ve seen first hand how hard he works for his clients and know that he shows up to help and advise every step of the way. He’s also a laid back guy who gives facts and his recommendations straight and we felt like he really listened to us. To make a long story short Joel helped us get our offer accepted and beat out 24 other offers on what we hope will be our forever dream home. He kept us in the loop at all times, was easy to get ahold of and was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Joel was so helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a realtor to contact him. I loved working with him. He would always contact us back right away if we had any questions on anything, and he worked hard and diligent to get the price we wanted for our house.

Joel is very professional and down to earth. He got me top dollar selling my condo over the holidays with no hiccups in the process. He’s a top notch agent!

Joel listed and sold our townhouse for us, while we were out of town, and set the record for the highest price any unit in the complex has ever sold for, even though it was smaller than other recently-sold units. We had to move out of town before we could list the place, and there was still work being done on the unit at the time. Joel worked with our contractor to make sure everything was done. He took care of almost everything, and the few things we needed to take care of, he let us know about. The whole process was remarkably easy. I give Joel my highest recommendation.

I recently moved from San Diego to Washington DC for work, and Joel handled the sale of my home. From our very first meeting, Joel demonstrated his vast knowledge of the local real estate market and his expertise in successfully marketing a property. Although my home wasn't the largest in the area, Joel recognized some strong selling points that were specific to my property and suggested a few minor improvements that would maximize our asking price. Joel was always available to answer questions, no matter when I called, and even provided input into what flooring and wall color would be best for the property size. I relied heavily on Joel's expertise and marketing strategies, and it paid off. Within the first week, we had multiple offers over asking price, and Joel was able to secure an offer that was much more than either of us were expecting. I would 100% recommend Joel to anyone looking to either buy or sell a property in the San Diego area, and when I return from DC, I will absolutely use him again. I couldn't be happier with Joel. Thank you Joel, for everything you did!

Joel was very responsive and excellent at providing rapid turnaround on all the things we needed to do in order to get a house. He knew a lot about the area and was fun to work with! We enjoyed our experience with him.

Joel is fantastic! If you come across this review, you’re in luck. My husband and I were brand new to San Diego, looking for a starter home, during one of the most competitive periods for the real estate market in our lifetime. We were intimidated by the process and lack of local knowledge. We also had a 1-year-old daughter to account for in our decision making process. Joel helped us secure a house within 2 Offers! We felt very fortunate that we were able to find our dream home within a tight timeline. Joel was honest, letting us know his feedback when things didn’t align with our needs or financial capabilities. I truly believe because of his guidance, we were able to land something quickly. He also came referred to us by a trusted friend. Thanks you, Joel! Looking forward to being official SD locals!

Joel was easy to work with throughout the process of looking for and buying our home, especially because he was always super responsive. He was also very patient and knowledgeable answering our many questions as first time home buyers!

Joel sold my house within a few days of the listing for more than the asking price. It was a pleasure working with Joel and his team. I highly recommend Joel!
