"As first time home buyers, we were literally walking in blind to this process. We honestly didn't know what the first step was to buying a home. We knew we wanted to buy a house in Imperial Beach but had the slightest idea of someone who could help us. Luckily we found Jamie. Jamie was recommended to us from a friend. Our friend had gone through the house buying process with Jamie and said that he was very knowledgeable about the IB Market. And that's nothing but true. Literally the day after we got ahold of Jamie and let him know what we were looking for, he was already lining up houses for us to tour. In a week we had toured a few houses and had already picked out a couple options that were best fit for us. Jamie knew exactly what kind of neighborhoods would best fit us and how the market was playing out. They were on the rise in price and he let us know. During this process, we basically ended up going through two escrows. What had happened was: we had found a house that we liked, went into escrow with it and during our contingency period, some things had popped up that we didn't like about the house, saw another house we were interested in and were able to swiftly and quickly switch escrows. Jamie literally had our back the whole time. He made sure we were in the right and protected the whole time. Not once did he complain or question us, he just wanted us to be happy. We moved fast to the second escrow and went through all the contract signings and boy did we have questions. It was scary, we didn't know a lot about the process and were always very concerned about where our money went, so we always went to Jamie for reassurance. He would let us know almost immediately after we called or texted, an answer to our concerns and we instantly understood what was going on. During the inspections, Jamie was incredibly knowledgeable about repairs. We ended up getting almost double the seller credit we were offered in contract because of the things Jamie had found and told us should be requested. We grew to trust him a whole lot through this process and really relied on him when is came to major concerns. In the end, we ended up with a house we adore and is already going up in price. Honestly, we couldn't have done this without Jamie. He was there every step or the way with us and then some. If you're looking to buy a home in San Diego and want a positive experience in doing so, I'd definitely say get ahold of Jamie!" - Lyndsey

"We highly recommend Jamie whether you are buying or selling in the San Diego area. He guided us through both the purchase of our new Coronado home and the sale of our Coronado condo. Within a week we had three offers on our condo, including two that were full price. Jamie was fully dedicated to finding ways to effectively market our condo and he succeeded with speed. Throughout both the buying and selling processes Jamie kept us very well informed and deftly managed communications between all parties. His relationships with other realtors were important in getting us through various challenges along the way. While we were still in the looking-around mode he made a point of carefully understanding what we were looking for. He then kept us informed as properties came on the market in a selective way so that we only saw properties that might be of interest to us. His wise counsel, responsiveness, professional but friendly style, knowledge of contractual issues, understanding of the Coronado market, and commitment to an ethical approach were all invaluable and greatly appreciated. So thanks Jamie – you have been a blessing in our lives and you have become a new friend in Coronado!" - David

"My real estate journey with Jamie began when he gave real promise to my perceived “wishful thinking” of owning a home in Coronado. He applied his experience and in-depth knowledge of Coronado’s housing inventory and price points to make our home tours a valuable education of the market for me. Jamie is a consummate professional, stable and calm, trustworthy, honest, and kind beyond anything I can articulate. He took time at every turn to explain details of contracts, usual and best practices within the industry, and even strategy so that I felt well-informed, confident in my decisions, and well represented by an effective negotiator who always worked in my best interests while simultaneously maintaining professionalism and good will with other parties, helping to close a difficult deal. His comfort in digging into title documents and city records, paired with his relationships with industry professionals who could be scheduled quickly to address inspection issues and provide estimates gave me true confidence in “knowing what I was getting” when I purchased my home. I can truly say that I would not own my home today without Jamie’s hard work, quick thinking, and steadfast commitment to my dream – he was an integral partner who I cannot thank enough." - Katie

"Buying a first home can be a pretty overwhelming process, let alone having one of us in San Diego and the other traveling abroad in Tokyo, Japan. Luckily we had Jamie, who ensured we were prepared, informed and ready to do what we needed to do to get into our first home. Right from the get-go Jamie set up our MLS access so we could start to go through homes, filter out the ones we didn’t like and star the ones we liked. This helped out a lot as we were able to profile what our “hub” needed to be and Jamie advised us on a daily basis. He was thorough, had a great understanding of the local market and was very accessible. As this was a new process to us, Jamie sat down and prepped us through the purchase contract, escrow process and additional details we needed to be ready for in the event we found something we fell in love with. Well … that happened with the first place we walked into. Jamie took care of everything, being flexible to our family’s schedule for walk throughs, building a great rapport with the seller and negotiating on our behalf. When we submitted our last and final offer, the signing of documents was happening while one of us was on a train in Tokyo. Though it was challenging pinching and zooming on the mobile phone, we were prepared and had a clear understanding of all of the details. The speed at which we closed, I was told, was amazing. Jamie was in sync with our lender and they were able to collaborate well and address any questions that came up fairly quickly. When I say the process was pretty seamless; I’d do it all over again. My wife and I would highly recommend Jamie as he’s a genuine good guy that looks out for your best interests, while also fully informing you so you have what you need to make smart decisions about your new home." - BJ

"As first time home buyers we are so glad that we worked with Jamie to find the right house in Coronado! With his extensive knowledge of the island, Jamie helped us to find a home that fit our needs perfectly and within an incredibly quick time frame. He was accessible, organized, efficient, and always available to answer questions both in searching for the right home and during the escrow process. As a first time buyer, I am grateful for Jamie’s thoroughness throughout the due diligence period of our purchase. He scheduled great local service providers for inspections and followed up on home permits, plans, and building histories so that we were able to make well informed decisions as buyers. Most of all, Jamie is a great guy that we like, trust, and are grateful to have worked with in purchasing our first home! " - Erica
