"Priscilla is truly an agent of the highest caliber; it’s been our genuine pleasure working with her over the past year. She’s demonstrated an exceptional degree of dedication, professionalism and skill. We’re deeply grateful for her infinite patience and tireless work on our behalf, particularly when she took on an enormous amount of groundwork and negotiation in order to broker a deal on what turned out to be a most challenging transaction. It truly wouldn’t have been possible without Priscilla’s herculean efforts. Thank you, Priscilla!"-A. Patapoutian | Bought a home in Fairbanks Ranch, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067

"Listed as one of life’s more stressful experiences, the sale/purchase of a home is an experience heavily in influenced by those you choose to have represent you. Nobody works more diligently to ensure a great experience than Priscilla Wood Balikian. Priscilla was a key piece to our family finding the perfect home for us, and then helped decrease the stress of selling the existing home. Through her extensive network, Priscilla was a fantastic resource for everything that had to do with the purchase/sale - as well as with securing services for work that needed to be done prior to moving in. Trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, organized, experienced. These are descriptors that come to mind when thinking of how our family views Priscilla after working with her."-C. Phillips | Bought and sold a home in Carlsbad, California, 92009

"Priscilla is the consummate professional. She helped us close a challenging sale and was a pleasure to work with. Priscilla understood our property and its market and helped us find the right buyer. When we hit speed bumps during escrow, she helped find effective solutions. If you are looking to buy or sell real estate in the San Diego area, I recommend Priscilla enthusiastically."-J.

★★★★★
"Priscilla is really is a top notch professional. We worked with Priscilla to buy and sell a home. Her knowledge of the local markets and neighborhoods was extremely helpful. She also was flexible and accommodating to our needs and put them first. Priscilla does her homework and double-checks everything. Attention to detail is very important in home sales and Priscilla always is a step ahead. Our deals went very smoothly because of this and that was a top priority. Most importantly she is very fluent in understanding negotiation, deal structure and real estate contracts. We were 100% confident that Priscilla was negotiating on our behalf to gain the most return."

★★★★★
"My husband and I worked with Priscilla to find our new home and were blown away at her tenacity for the market, answers to all our questions and incredible spirit as we navigated house tours via facetime during the pandemic! The special part about Priscilla is the way she treated us like family. That was the unique part, it felt like we were talking to a family member, she had so much care for us during the whole process of purchasing our new home in a new city. She protected us through negotiations, ensured our best interest throughout the sale and went above and beyond with everything...even the late night text messages on Christmas Eve! It was not about making the sale, but rather doing everything she could to make sure our first family home was the right home. Priscilla did not hesitate when delivering honest feedback and transparency during conversations and was quick to offer her established network of people in the industry to assist us/answer any questions that came up. She exudes a level of kindness and care that is like no other and we are so grateful our paths crossed during 2020."

★★★★★
"This is actually my first post to Yelp because I’ve got high standards that are pretty hard to exceed. So this is because Priscilla was amazing! We were coming from out of town, and there were many qualified and professional “high end” Realtors to choose from. We probably previewed houses with about 10 of them, and Priscilla stood out from the crowd not because she knew her stuff, as that is to be expected. She knew "our" stuff, who we were, what we were looking for, what the right neighborhood “feel” was going to be for our family. She does her homework, is super organized, works her tail off, has just the right touch with communication type/frequency, and has a great sense of humor for when things get tedious. And when it came to negotiating the deal, her expertise was instrumental in saving big $$ and making sure there were no hiccups with a very fast-moving closing. Love the house and the biggest compliment was that the process didn’t suck like it has in previous situations for us!" - Gary

★★★★★
