"Todd is the consummate professional. He acted as broker for the of my step-mother's condo Mission Hills and the process was effortless and rapid. This was despite my residing out-of-state. I found Todd by calling all the high-end brokers in Mission Hills on a lovely Saturday morning. As a testament to his professionalism, he was the only one who was available on the phone. Todd assisted with every aspect of the ,including some light remodeling, staging, and hosting an open house for brokers as well as buyers. He netted us $100k over other estimates and the whole process from start to finish took just a few months. I cannot make a higher recommendation. He's a pro.

"Selling our home was the second real estate transaction that Todd guided us through, after helping us purchase that same home in 2014. At times, we were not the easiest clients to deal with, but Todd never got impatient or frustrated, instead explaining and advising in a helpful way. His experience in San Diego real estate was immediately evident, and he will be our first choice when we buy our next home in San Diego.

He worked tirelessly to find us the perfect home for our family while making himself available to answer questions and to provide follow up and feedback to expedite the purchase of our new house. We are so grateful that a colleague recommended him to us. He and his team made our transition to the west coast seamless!

He honed his technical expertise as an Aviation Electrician and Electronics Specialist, with his first duty station at NAS Cubi Point, Philippines.
