"Brian and Simone were phenomenal to work with. Going through your first home purchase can be stressful, but having Brian and Simone by my side to help guide me through the different challenges made the process much easier. Not only did they help me find my dream first home, but they also made sure that it made sense for me financially. It was easy to feel like I was always being put first. Their local knowledge, contract expertise, and boutique firm feel will keep me coming back for all my future home needs." — John Weil

"I’ve had the privilege of working with Simone and her team twice so far. Her level of hands-on work was fabulous. We felt like VIPs the whole way through. Knowing it was going to be our forever home— she read between the lines, fought for request of repairs, and seemed to always be 2 steps ahead. (We’ve worked with other agents in the past who were unclear with their requests which resulted in miscommunication and having to purchase the buyer new appliances). Buying a house can be exciting, it can also be scary. It’s a huge financial commitment, especially nowadays. Simone was objective and transparent every step of the way. She was efficient without being pushy. She was understanding and downright caring— clearing her schedule out multiple times because I needed to see the house... just one more time. Ultimately, she treated our purchase as if it were her own. Thank you, Simone!!" — Jina George

“I cannot say enough about Simone, Maria and the whole Compass team. They did an amazing job of keeping everything on track and keeping me updated throughout the whole process.

“Brian, Simone, and Maria of Brian Connelly and Associates were a pleasure to work with at every stage of the home selling process. I had to sell a house in Encinitas from out of state after my father passed away, and they helped me through an emotionally and logistically difficult process with utmost compassion and professionalism. I had only a limited budget for cleaning and repairing the house before putting it on the market, and they worked with me to make sure the money I spent went as far as possible. The team’s communication skills were impeccable; at every moment I felt like I knew exactly where I was in the escrow process. I valued every piece of advice they gave me. I recommend them wholeheartedly."

"Simone was an amazing asset to have on my side while purchasing a home. This was my first home buying experience and it was a smooth process thanks to Simone. She was patient in my search to find a place I was ready to make an offer on and when it came down to making the deal happen she helped me along the way making sure everything was done correctly with regards to home inspection, offer letters, etc. I felt comfortable in her hands and she also helped me negotiate a price that was under the latest asking value. I would definitely recommend Simone to anyone purchasing a home in the area. She truly goes the extra mile for her clients."
