I had an outstanding experience working with Adrian Quijano in purchasing my new condo in San Diego. From the start, Adrian demonstrated a deep knowledge of the local real estate market, which was crucial given how competitive it is here. He was always very responsive, transparent in his communication, and took the time to answer all of my questions promptly — no matter how big or small.
What really stood out to me was Adrian's negotiation skills. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to secure a great price and save money on closing costs. He was also invaluable in helping me avoid properties that did not meet my needs, and his advice played a key role in getting me into a condo that had multiple offers.
Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better agent. Adrian and his team at Whissel Realty are top-notch, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in the San Diego area!
I happened across Anninda Gibbs at an open house who works with Whissel Realty group - I can’t tell you how wonderful, kind attentive, special, friendly, authentic she was and it felt like we were friends forever! I will refer her to anybody who asks — she is a consummate pro!!
I had my property in La Mesa for sale with a different real estate company, after months of not following up or pre qualifying buyers I had given up. Then I met Billie Guinto with the Whissel team. Billie came in a threw an amazing open house and was there almost every day showing the property and virtual tours.Not only did she sell my property quickly I was able to accept an offer well over asking!
I then told her about a 40 acre property in Ocotillo that had been on the market for years, when I contacted the seller they said it wasn't for sale? Billie took this as a challenge and 30 days later the land was mine! WOW!!
Billie Quinto has been nice in the emails and calls I have received. She has been patient when on the phone even when I’ve been a little snappy from things going on in the background with my small child. She is also respectful of boundaries and never tries to push you into something you don’t want.
I simply cannot say enough about Billie Guinto and her team. I was in a very different situation, with a house for sale in a really hard market!! Billie worked so hard to get buyers through and at the 11th hour as I was about to lose my home, she found the perfect buyer and her escrow team worked fervently to get all of the documents together and signed just in the knick of time!! Thank you Shannon for all of your work on this unique and challenging project!! Whissel Realty Group really came through for me!! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!! I literally cried when I got the word that escrow had closed!!!!
I stopped by a house Billie was showing while on a walk. I stopped by and told Billie a bit about myself and situation. At this point, I had never talked to a realtor about a potential home. Billie asked if anyone had ever sat with me just to help out. I told her no and she offered to sit down with me and my partner just to see where we were and how she could help. We found out there were programs out there that could help young couples who were just starting out in the housing market. We knew nothing about these programs or where to start. Now we are on our way to building our credit up and putting a plan in place for a home in the near future. Billie has been there every step of the way and has shown us that she will be there even if it takes awhile. I wouldn’t choose anyone else to be helping me! So grateful for Billie, her team and all the people she collaborates with to help young couples like myself!
Met with Billie Guinto with my daughter on first time homebuyers. My daughter is looking to buy and wanted to see what she would qualify for and Billie gave us the 411. My hubby and I also went to a comedy show I your building-great small venue! Thank you for being multipurpose in LaMesa!
Whissel realty is AMAZING. I would recommend Billie Guinto for anyone whom is selling or buying a home. She is everything we wanted in a agent, professional, on top of everything that came up, dedicated, sweet, friendly and made us feel so at ease with the whole process. If you are looking to buy or sell your home Billie is the best!!!
Can’t ask for a better agents. Billi work ethic is so admirable. I got so lucky to have her as my agent. For the stressful process. She always trying to make sure we don’t go over our budget. She doesn’t want us to buy anything above what we can effort, just so we don’t stress over our monthly mortgage. How many agent out there would care so much for their clients? We love her so much. She is a beautiful human being and her work experiences could out perform anyone. On top of that she is always so professional and respectful. She will be my agent for life.
You won't be disappointed in putting your trust and faith in Billie; she is such a genuine and authentic person. Love ya girl
Brian Meinert is great to work with.Very skilled in his field. Makeings of a great teacher . Thank you and your team.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Elena Facchinei was our agent buying our new home AND selling in San Diego. I’ve bought and sold before, and this was by far the most complex deal I’ve been involved in. Elena was there every step of the way, and since closing has been there to make sure we have everything we need. She was always there when we needed her and had our back through tough negotiations. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!!!
The best great team in all San Diego☝️👏 they help us with everything they can in their head to make our dream come true also Elizabeth Contreras our real estate agent is the number 1 agent she help us alot in everything, as first time buyers every little detail she will explain everything in details and give us her advice she did a pretty good deal in our first time buying our dream house her dedication was 100% make us feel like family i really appreciate everything she did for us and our family and whissel realty group did as well for our family 💯 recommend thanks once again for making our dream come true 😊.
Elizabeth took care of our transaction from start to finish and stayed engaged all throughout the process. This was a short-fused deal that closed in 15 calendar days, being in the industry on the origination side for almost 3 decades. I was waiting for a notification upon recordation, I had to email my broker and my escrow for status (being in the industry, I'm quite familiar with the drill), to confirm recordation before the close of business day. It would have been nice to share the excitement at that moment that it recorded. I have that expectation because when active in the industry, I personally call my clients to congratulate them of the recordation the very moment I was notified of the recordation! Otherwise, Kudos to Elizabeth for a job well-done and keeping me engaged throughout the process. TC needs a little improvement on timing and updates by adding some proactivity instead of reactivity, although she stayed engaged throughout the process. This is a constructive review.
As first time buyer I'm so happy with whissel realty group our agent Elizabeth Contreras help us on everything she explained all paperwork true all the process i highly appreciated was she did for us she got us the deal of the year 😆 in 15 days we closed escrow it was a really fast process all the team was working so hard to make our wishes come true finally we got our house in Hemet CA highly recommend whissel realty group if buying a property this team is #1 in all California and we can't forget Elizabeth Contreras for your real estate agent she's #1 you will never regret it she gives all her heart and dedication making you feel like family 💯 recommended thanks too all our family is blessed to have a great team. Thank you 😊 🙏 💓
Eric Gulal is the best negotiator I've known and I've sold several houses!
As first time home buyers, my partner and I had no clue what we were getting ourselves into. Overall, we had a very pleasant first time home buying experience thanks to Flemin Koc and the Whissel Realty team!
Coordinating home viewings for over a month, he first showed us a few homes for viewing purposes only, just to dip our toes in the water. A few weeks later showed us 9 homes over the course of 2 days around SD all the way up to Oceanside; until we decided the beginning of our new start in Vista!
With all of Whissel's email communication and the escrow process steps broken down with videos explaining the process; we found that it was helpful and straight forward. Flemin was extremely patient with us, professional, down to earth, knowledgeable about the buying climate and the areas around SD, and was great about answering all of our questions.
During the escrow process, which was also during Christmas and New Year; Flemin went out of the country for the holidays. He set us up with his colleague Jacob Carmona from Whissel who was present with us during the home inspection. We felt comfortable with this transition since he was professional, up to date on our escrow time frame, and knew what needed to be done on inspection day.
Flemin has kept in touch with us after our close checking in to make sure we are doing well, and updated us about utilizing Whissel's moving truck which we may take advantage of!
We highly recommend this realty group and Flemin Koc to anyone looking to move in the SD area.
It was a pleasure to work with Whissel Realty Group. Our realtor is Frank Perez he is the only reason we were able to get into the house we wanted. It was really tough to find great home with great rated schools and safe neighborhoods, in San Diego with our limited budget, but Frank did an amazing job, he worked really hard to find what we were looking for. Without him we would still be renting, he really impressed us with not only hard work but his interest in our success to buy our first home. Our family want to say thank you to Frank and all of the parties involved with our house purchase, they were professional, patient and extremely responsive. We highly recommend Whissel Realty Group/ Frank Perez for buying or selling a home! Sincerely, Z+ N
Gabrielle Hazan and the team at Whissel Realty have far exceeded our expectations at every turn. A seamless experience that removed the typical stress associated with the home-buying process. Every subject-matter expert was available to answer all our questions and were extremely responsive.Gabrielle is a consummate professional in her field. She asked all the right questions, listened carefully to our goals, and worked tirelessly to get us into our forever home. Additionally, she was able to provide detailed information on the area, and answered every question with white-glove detail. We owe her a sincere debt of gratitude and know that anyone who works with her will find their home search equally successful.
We had the pleasure of working with Arquimedes Madrigal to purchase our new construction home in Beaumont, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Arquimedes was incredibly patient with us as senior citizens, ensuring we were comfortable and fully informed every step of the way. He took the time to explain everything in detail, even helping us with IT-related aspects until we were totally on the same page.😄From start to finish, Arquimedes made the process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. His professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Arquimedes Madrigal to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and reliable agent!
I used Ian Worthington to sell my ocean view Carlsbad home and it was a great experience. Ian understood the market, different creative financing strategies and other techniques to find the right buyer. I recommend Ian to anyone selling( or buying) a home.
I loved working with Whissel Realty Group. I especially like the team approach to presenting my property in the best possible ways. Jen, JC, and Spencer have a special combination of using all their talents and best qualities to help the client feel in great hands during the stress of selling a home. Their knowledge and experience were undeniable. They always listened to my input or concerns. The support of the Whissel in office staff was also always attentive to my needs/questions, too. All in all, an excellent experience - both in the selling of my home and the purchase of a new home. Thanks, Team Jen and Whissel Realty.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Joel Schneider is a kind, energetic, and personable individual who went above and beyond. He connected me with valuable resources both within and outside his office, even as I became increasingly stressed as the process ramped up, and even for matters outside his direct responsibility. For example, he helped me find someone to assess the health of the HOA in the community I was considering. For any concern in which he was not the expert, he had one in his pocket waiting and happy to help. And he did so quickly.
Joel's always prioritized my best interests as a buyer. He provided excellent recommendations for lenders and other professionals, ensuring I had a smooth and successful home-buying experience. For future home purchases, I will be hitting up Joel again without a doubt. I highly recommend him to anyone searching for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate agent in the San Diego area.
Josh helped us navigate the market back in 2014. We were searching for a single-family home in the 300k's in the Central San Diego area. Josh was great explaining expectations in a market full of "cash buyers." As he found great fits for us, they seemed to be bought out from underneath us. Throughout the 6 months we were in the market, Josh never let his foot off the gas. He maintained a steady stream of anything that became available and fit our needs. His critical eye even kept us from making a poor decision regarding a couple properties. Josh's integrity and experience found us a place we were ready to put our offer in. His negotiation skills helped us close on a price that would help cover moderate repairs and overall seemed fair. He was attentive, sincere, and overall honest throughout our time together. I would definitely have Josh help us if/when we enter the market again.
Being a first time home buyer and husband and I didn’t really know where to start with buying a home. Joshua went above and beyond to explain every detail to us and made the experience so enjoyable. We could not have been more happy with the service he provided. I am a control freak and I felt so comfortable with Joshua’s negotiations and how he got us such an amazing deal on our home. During the inspection Joshua even hired a roof inspector to come out as well since my husband and father were really concerned about the condition of the roof. Joshua was able to negotiate to have all roofing repairs done along with money towards our closing costs! In Today’s World it is hard to find someone that is honest and genuinely cares about their clients happiness more than they care about their commission and it is apparent that Joshua genuinely cares about his clients!
Josh was awesome from the beginning, always on his game. Whenever we had a question he would answer it immediately. First time home buyer and if we ever decide to buy again, Josh will be our first choice.
Relocating is never an easy process and is especially difficult when looking to purchase a home. Thankfully Josh's local knowledge and willingness to spend his weekends with my wife and I when we flew down from Northern California, was exactly what we needed to find our San Diego home! We have had 3 real estate agents in our time and Josh without a doubt was the most invested and most helpful of all of them. He knew our interests and most importantly our budget and did not waste our time with "out-of-reach" properties. We are looking to purchase another property in San Diego and Josh already knows that he is our guy.
I was really impressed with Joshua's local neighborhood knowledge, and his commitment to my family. We had a very particular list of requirements for our home, and Joshua took those requirements seriously. He was very communicative and stuck with us until we found our perfect place, I will definitely be using him in the future for my listing and buying needs
Josh was a perfect fit for us. We used him after losing multiple houses by “delayed” showings with another realtor. He was recommended by a friend, and we are so lucky our paths crossed. He kept us in budget and in the part of town we wanted to be in. He was quick to get our offers in, and honest with the numbers that we needed to stay in our chosen neighborhood. If your current realtor isn’t showing you houses fast enough, definitely look at Josh! He was showing us houses we wanted to see the very next day! In the market we were buying in, that was a must!
I've relied on Josh's expertise multiple times over the past few years. In the last year he helped us with selling our current home and finding our new home. Of course this all had to be done at the same time and Josh was fantastic in keeping us informed and aware of all our options through the process. Josh was able to list our home and find a buyer with a strong offer within a couple weeks and this was great news to us as we really wanted the timing of our sale to coincide with the purchase of our new house. Josh was always quick to respond to any questions via text,email, or phone call. This communication was great to have since worries and concerns can run high if you don't know whats going on. Josh did a great job of advocating and negotiating for us on our purchase and he was patient and helped lend a critical eye in order to determine the perfect house for us. I had a great experience working with Josh and would highly recommend him for anyone considering a sale or purchase in the area.

Joshua, was very professional, respectful, knowledgeable, and very much client oriented. He helped me in the sale of my home recently. Truthfully, I did not expect the sale to proceed as well as it did. With his help it all came together very well. Lots of work in his part to make my home sale adventure go great. I highly recommend him to anyone in the market to sell or buy a property. Ernie O'Campo
Josh was the consummate professional. He made my family feel first in his client list. Josh was attentive to details and always available to answer my one million questions. Josh knew about all of the neighborhoods we inquired about. He was especially knowledgeable about San Diego real estate and trends in the industry. Our journey begun with Josh one year before we were even ready to purchase. He answered questions and stayed in contact until the time came for us to be financially ready to buy. We never felt pressured. Josh found us not only our first house, he found us our home for many years to come. Josh was attentive to detail throughout the entire offer and purchasing process and followed through with our best interest in mind.
Josh has helped my sister, and my brother and sister buy their homes. So we had high hopes for Josh out of the gates. Josh found us a diamond in the rough! We were able to find a charming community that we never knew existed. Josh was confident that we would be interested in the property and it was love at first sight. He was available at all times to answer any questions we had. He helped us when we wrote up our offer and represented us like we were family. He has routinely checked in on us to see how things are going. The experience that we had with Josh was wonderful! If we ever decide to move I am calling Josh first thing! I find myself recommending Josh regularly. If you want someone that is going to represent YOU, Josh is your guy.
My wife and I bought our first home with Josh a few years ago. Like many first time home buyers, we had not idea how to match our needs with our budget. Josh gave us an insane amount of insight and showed us houses for a very long period of time. We were look in the 3-350k range, so the market was tough. After 6 months of searching and working with Josh, and 7 offers that we got overbid on, we finally got our home. Not only did we end up in a great first home, but we were able to get it around 20K lower than we thought we would have to pay. Josh stuck with us and showed us houses the entire time, never making us feel dumb for asking questions. He was our partner through a long and tough journey, and is as reliable and honest as they come. Not only would I use Josh again, but I have recommended him to friends who are homeowners now thanks to him also. Don't make a mistake and pass him up.
Our Realtor Jules made our process as easy as we could ever have imagined it to be with her constant constant and being very attentive and available throughout this process. She helped us to find the perfect home for us ♡ . We can't thank her enough!!
The Hollywood approach to selling homes!Karlee and her team sure know how to make a first impression! Her elegance and confidence shine through in her presentation, both on video and in person.

Finding the right real estate agent for your first home purchase can be daunting. Katie Lussier made it an amazing experience and stuck with us while dialing in on our new home in Ramona California. The property fit all of our wants and we highly recommend Katie as part of your team for the home-buying adventure.
Had a great experience working with Marcus of Whissel realty, always in contact, punctual with emails, really appreciate working with them!!!
I had worked with Mike Boyd from this company and was extremely impressed with not only his work but his interest in my success as a new homeowner. Thank you Mr. Boyd!
We worked with Whissel Realty for about 2 months during our first home search. Our realtor Mike Boyd was absolutely exceptional to work with he was very patient with our questions and quick to find information on the homes we were interested in. He did a fantastic job in every aspect from making sure our loan was squared away to negotiating closing costs and terms with the seller. I could not have asked for a smoother or better experience.
Michael Boyd helped my family and I find a KB Home in Menifee, CA. I am first time homebuyer and I would definitely recommend Michael Boyd from Whissel Realty. Michael and his team were nice and helpful. I have been searching for a home for about 2 years and I spoke with many other realtors and brokerages. However, because of Whissel Realty’s consistent and personable follow ups. We chose to use them to help buy my first home.
I met Vaughn Douglass very early in my search for a new home (in fact, I had been to one open-house up to then and he was it.) Though it took many months to know what I could afford, he kept in contact via texts and followed my progress until I could look at properties with full intent.
The results were swift and relatively smooth and I have nothing but praise for him and Whissel.
Thanks to them I now have a home - for the first time.
Niko Markakis was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend! I met him when asking to tour a property, and I’m so glad he was the one to assist me. I made a decision quickly on a condo, and Niko was thorough, responsive, and professional to get the purchase made smoothly. Thank you, and I love my new home!!
Working with Paul was an absolute game changer in our home-buying experience! As detail oriented person, I’m used to paying attention to the details—and Paul was right there with us every step of the way, making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Paul truly went above and beyond—not just helping us find a house, but helping us feel confident and excited every step of the way. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who genuinely cares and will hustle hard for you, he's your guy!
Paul was instrumental in helping find my new home. His patience and attention to detail truly catered to my needs, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. His effective negotiation skills saved me thousands of dollars, and he went above and beyond to ensure I found the perfect place. Even after the sale was completed, Paul took the time to check in and see how I was settling in, which made the entire experience even more special.
Quan did an excellent job for us from the first day through closing.! We wanted to sell our rental property quickly. He got it sold within a month and for above listing price. Throughout the process, he kept us well informed. He responded very quickly every time we attempted to contact him. Quan came highly recommended from a trusted friend. His performance exceeded our high expectations. We especially appreciated how he tapped into his resources to help address issues which came up during the inspections. Should we venture back into the real estate market in the future, we will certainly use Quan's services again.
Thanks Quan! Would highly recommend - helped us list a duplex and worked with us during a very busy and trying personal time. Quan and his assistant sent us docs online which was a great aid especially since there were multiple partners involved.
Quan was very helpful throughout the entire process. He consistently kept us aware of the next step in the process. His design team was really valuable in walking us through the proper way to stage our home for sale and the marketing team certainly got a bunch of interest generated. Thanks again!
We are a first time home buyer and Quan made all things less stressful! When being a first time home buyer, you are stressed, asking lots of questions and at times very unsure of what you're getting into. During this process, Quan answered all of our questions daily, assisted us throughout the whole process! He was available by phone and email immediately, when we had questions. Quan and his team are very professional, responsive, attentive and most of all, knowledgeable. Quan provided us updates daily throughout the process of purchasing a home. I highly recommend Quan for any of your real estate needs.
Quan Nguyen helped us find ,purchase, and finance the Upton street property in Linda Vista. Before we worked with Mr. Quan for financing, we initially started with another bank , but they were slow to respond and did not communicate well during the process. Quan, instead was very responsive and communicated with us throughout the process and helped answer all our questions and doubts in a timely manner. He was very patient and took the time to explain everything to us. He was able to get us a lower rate in the middle of our transaction and also closed fast...we were very thankful! He made the process very easy and fast. I would definitely recommend Quan's services.
Quan helped me get my property on 46th street in City Heights. He was able to get me a good price and the property is making money for me. Quan was really patient with all the questions I asked him. He was responsive and did not keep me waiting. He made the process easy and fast. I was really satisfied with his great service.
Ricardo Alvarez-Malo was so attentive and insightful. He really listened to what we wanted in a home and patiently helped us find exactly what we were looking for. He was never pushy, and always had our best interests in mind. Ricardo made sure we understood each step in the home buying process, ensuring that we could move forward with confidence. We are so happy with our new home and would highly recommend Ricardo to anyone.
Ricardo was super friendly when he called to invite us to the event. We are looking forward to checking out the place again and The kids are super excited to see Santa!
My husband and I had the pleasure of talking/working with Sarah who is a Gem. Sarah payed attention to detail and maintained excellent communication with us. I would absolutely recommend Sarah and Whissel Reality Group to friends and family.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Sarah Pisciotta and her team to purchase my dream home, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. From start to finish, Sarah was professional, knowledgeable, and always had my best interests in mind.
Sarah took the time to listen to my needs and preferences, and was able to quickly identify properties that met my criteria. Throughout the search process, she was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance. When we finally found the perfect home, she was able to negotiate a great price and ensure that the buying process went smoothly.
What impressed me most about Sarah and her team was their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring that I was completely satisfied with the purchase. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure that all of my concerns were addressed and that I had a clear understanding of the entire process.
Overall, I would highly recommend Sarah and her team to anyone looking to purchase a home. They are an excellent realty group who truly cares about their clients and will work tirelessly to ensure that they have a positive experience. Thank you, Sarah and her team for helping me find my dream home!
Sean Jamali helped us to purchase in La Mesa and we couldn’t have had better service and help! Great work from the whole team
Sean was an absolute amazing realtor!! As first time homebuyers he made sure we were well informed. Always there to answer questions and provide insight. He made shopping for a home easy! Accommodating our busy schedule and providing research on every home we visited. When it came time to make an offer he was able to negotiate 80k below asking while still getting it accepted within a day. Sean’s incredible service continued through escrow, allowing us to close while out of the country on vacation. Sean always put our priorities first and was available 24/7. I could not make a higher recommendation!!!
I can't recommend working with JC Agajanian and Spencer Smock enough. They bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise, which enabled them to negotiate a sale price under market value along with a large seller concession for our property in Valley Center, CA, They are consummate professionals, maintained constant communication and treat you like family.
These days, it seems almost everyone has a friend or family member with a real estate license. And, to be honest, oftentimes, it seems that homes almost sell themselves in this volatile market. However, are you confident that this friend or family member has what it takes to deliver on their promises of top dollar and a quick sale? I can tell you from my experience, hiring an experienced, professional realtor like J.C. Agajanian will ensure that you get your home sold quickly and for the most amount of money. And, more importantly, he and his team will shepherd you through a hassle-free escrow without encountering any of the many things that can go wrong after an offer is accepted. Over the past several years, I’ve worked with a number of realtors, both buying and selling property. My father was also a broker many years, ago, so I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly in real estate agents and brokers. I must say JC and his teammate, Spencer Smock, are, by far, the most effective and professional team I’ve ever worked with. From my first conversation with JC, I recognized not only his impeccable professionalism, but also his specific knowledge about the neighborhood where my condominium was located. I had spoken with another realtor who had touted themselves an “expert” in sales in that neighborhood, but it became very clear, from that first conversation, that JC was, in fact, a true expert in properties in my particular neighborhood. More crucially for me, he was very familiar with the litigation between my HOA and the builder, which potentially involved several perils during the sales and escrow processes. For instance, any potential buyer needed to be either a cash buyer or willing and able to qualify for special financing due to the pending litigation. JC was not only intimately familiar with this process, he also brought a lender to the table that was able to provide that special financing to any interested party in need of financing. As it turned out, a little over a month passed between our initial conversation and signing the listing contract. Although I was in escrow on a purchase of a new home when I first contacted JC about selling my condo, that process was, unfortunately, unexpectedly lengthy and contentious. JC was diligent about keeping in touch, but never made me feel pressured to sign a listing contract or to go on the market. However, once I was ready, JC’s team went into action, quickly getting my condo staged, photographed and market-ready. Within 6 days of being on the market, JC and Spencer presented me with multiple offers, most which were well over our asking price. I ultimately chose an all-cash/quick close offer for $75,000 over asking price. A lot of realtors tout themselves as “full service” realtors, but, in my experience, most fall short of that claim. Not so, with JC and his team. Because the escrow on my new house was incredibly stressful, I was a bit skeptical of what JC could ultimately deliver on the sale of my condo. Unequivocally, JC and Spencer are the best real estate professionals I have ever worked with. Not only would I recommend them to anyone seeking to buy or sell property, I would definitely hire them again to represent me in any real estate transaction in the future.
Stavros was amazing throughout the process. He showed us neighborhoods and introduced us to history and points of interest. This was especially important given our move was from out of state. I’m certain Stavros will offer you the same five star service if you give him a shot.
"I'd like to start by saying that we have never had a more pleasurable experience in purchasing a home! Whissel Reality Group made it so easy for us, and they always made us feel like they had our best interest at heart. Our sales agent, Stephanie Wohlfiel, was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and extremely insightful. She also communicated well and was very responsive to our needs. She always made us feel at ease in (what could have been) a very stressful situation. Stephanie gave us some great advice and direction, which really helped in our purchase-making decisions. She was very patient and never pushy. She was truly a joy to work with. Stephanie will always be our agent in all future real estate transactions, and (we hope) she will always be in our lives. Thank you so much, Stephanie and Whissel Realty, for helping to make our dreams come true!"… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I met Stephanie through my friend. I like the no rush nor forceful sale. It's just an easy going feel throughout and love the open house event,too.
I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Whissel Realty Group! I was dealing with an unfortunate situation and needed to sell my Carlsbad home quickly. Stephanie Wohlfiel was my agent, who made the experience painless and me feel comfortable through the whole process . Stephanie and her team worked quickly and diligently. They had my home on the market and sold in 7 days. We got well over the listing price! Thank you again to Stephanie and her team.
Stephanie Wohlfiel helped me buy my townhome in Oceanside. She was prompt when setting up time to view houses (7+ in two weekends!), was clear and helped walk me through putting out competitive offers, and once I was pending for my home of choice, went above and beyond to help me close. Moving truck provided and cleaning weekend before move in was a nice bonus. Thank you!
Stephanie Wohlfiel with Whissel Realty Group offered my family the most amazing experience on home buying.
Thank you for bringing my family Home!

Highly recommend Steven, he is professional and always answer my questions. He is highly knowledgeable about the local market and always made sure I always felt like a priority.
I've worked with Tad Murroughs (agent) over the past few years looking for a home in San Diego, as well as putting it right back on the market. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to sell my property right away. As soon as I reached out to Tad he was on it, extremely supportive and didn't hesitate. The entire team has always been incredible. Lorene Pearcy, the Closing Manager, always kept me up to date with escrow. Even if it there were hiccups along the way, the team was transparent throughout the process and always kept me in the loop. I can't value this team enough. They were not only there for me throughout this business transaction, but they went above and beyond to support me personally. They definitely have your six (military lingo for having your back). Both Tad and Lorene are stellar human beings and I would recommend this team to anyone looking to buy or sell in San Diego. Thank you again for such extraordinary customer service, definitely established and built personable relations! Love ya'll!!
This is the second home I bought with Whissel Realty Group in Escondido, Tom Lux was the most professional & efficient agent i have ever worked with. Leilagh Von Biela was great back up in the office. Everything went smooth and on time. They are the Best, Paul Hawthorne
I have attended several Whissel Realty Group events. All of them have been a wonderful experience. They go out of their way to make sure that everyone is having a great time. Tom Lux sold our home in Escondido several years ago. We are still included in their events. Tom personally calls me before each event to make sure that I am aware and that he would love to see and talk with my family and me.
I would also like to give a shout out to Whissel Realty Group. They did a fantastic job in listing, showing and selling our home. They took care of everything, staging, open houses, suggestions regarding what we could do to make our home more sellable.
I had the pleasure of working with Tom in 2023. I had investment properties ready to sell and with his help we had it done efficiently and at a great price! Look no further than Whissel Realty Group!
I've been working with Tom Lux for over 20 years, and he's helped me buy and sell homes during this time. He's the best real estate agent I've ever worked with. He's honest, straightforward, levelheaded, and easygoing. He's also a great listener, which is important because he wants to make sure he understands your needs.
A few months ago, Tom helped my son buy his dream home in Oceanside. It was a very competitive market, and there were 15 offers on the house. But Tom went above and beyond to help my son get his offer accepted. He put together a bio for my son and daughter-in-law and their baby Otis, and he spoke to the seller's agent to learn what details would give their offer a competitive edge.
In the end, the seller accepted my son's offer because of the bio that Tom put together. The seller said he remembered being in the house with his family 35 years ago when they had their newborn baby, and he wanted to sell to my son and daughter-in-law because they were starting their own family.
I'm so grateful for Tom's help. He's the best real estate agent in San Diego, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Tom Lux is amazing to work with and his attention to detail is outstanding - no one better!! This company is Top Notch!!!
Tom Lux was our agent and did a fantastic job with helping find us our new home. During our first day, he prepared a very organized tour of San Diego properties with detailed information on each home. This helped us narrow our focus and ultimately choose our first home. Thank you Tom for your help during the home-buying process!
We recently hired Tom as our realtor for the sale of our house and we are extremely happy. Not only is he industry knowledgeable but proved to be efficient, responded quickly, and always kept us informed and in the loop. When problems arose along the way he was able to find resolutions quickly and always kept us calm. If you want a competent, effective, and knowledgable realtor I highly recommend Tom Lux.

Our agent Valerie Narmontas was professional, thorough, and filled with good humor. Everyone who supported her and this transaction were on top of things to make sure nothing fell through the cracks. Recommend!
Valerie helped us through the process of finding the perfect home in a difficult market. She worked tirelessly, showing us multiple properties on very short notice, helping us find contractors for renovations, and providing much-needed expert advice. My husband and I are completely satisfied with her service and highly recommend her.
Valerie Narmontas and her team were incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the process of purchasing a condo in San Diego. Valerie is a rock star! She is professional, knowledgeable and strategic, and she really listened to and cared about our goals. She worked hard to make sure our interests were represented, and she worked above and beyond our expectations. Her communication was outstanding. Valerie was responsive, supportive, and enthusiastic. We will definitely work with her in the future and would recommend her to friends and family.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Valerie to purchase my first home and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance throughout the process. Her knowledge of the local market was invaluable, and she was able to help me find the perfect home in a great neighborhood that met all of my criteria. She was also a skilled negotiator, and was able to help me secure a great price on the property. Throughout the entire process, Valerie was professional, responsive, and always had my best interests in mind. She made what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and enjoyable one, and I am so grateful for her help. If you're looking for a realtor in Southern California who truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help them achieve their goals, look no further than Valerie. She is simply the best!
I have purchased a home and sold a home with Vaughn Douglass as my agent. He is a consummate professional, who will not settle for anything done incorrectly. He has extreme knowledge of his industry, and you can be confident with him as your agent, that your real estate transaction will be handled Perfectly. He’s also an awesome human.
We have worked with Vaughn for several years now. He is very knowledgeable of the area and is there to answer any questions we have. Vaughn is personable and is great to work with.
We valued Vaughn's guidance and expertise! He was very knowledgeable and reliable in gathering information and keeping us abreast of everything that was happening and how it affects us. He is honest and dependable. He is very punctual in everything he does, keeping a well-organized calendar of events for you. He was considerate in going out of his way to help us out! Vaughn is an overall good person to work with. We are glad he was our agent!!
Vaughn was a patient Realtor. We were shopping for our retirement home for months and unfortunately, when the time came to purchase, we decided to move to Nevada instead of Oceanside, CA. Vaughn spent time with us on the phone, in person, by text, and by emails. He never pawned us off onto an assistant. We believe Vaughn is honest, and timely, reliable, and responsive. We cannot say enough positive things about Vaughn and if we ever move back, we will looking for you, Vaughn. - All the best in your endeavors Vaughn, - Tim & Shelley from Lakewood.
Vaughn was amazing amazing amazing.... I am 70 and have worked with numerous realtors .... He exceeded my expectations every single time... He represented me to the max... I am out of state and had no knowledge how to purchase our mobile home property and he sure went the extra mile....
At Whissel Realty, they say "Who represents you matters" and this could not be truer about the best agent in the game, Vaughn Douglass. We first came upon Vaughn back in July of 2020 when we were just "looking to get info" about what we needed to do to buy a home. As first-time home buyers, and first ones in our family to ever buy a home, this was a very intimidating experience. Vaughn was so kind and helpful and even though we made it clear that we were not ready to buy at that time, he said that even if it took us 1,3,5 or 10 years, he would be here to answer any questions. Throughout the years he would call in and check up on us and motivate us to keep working towards our goal. When we were finally ready to make that next move, we called him up and he got things moving. His knowledge, expertise, and great negotiation skills set him apart. He was always a call away and if we needed to see a property, he would never hesitate to make the long drive from his home. When we finally found our dream home, the negotiations were a little rocky. At times we were ready to just throw in the towel because this felt like a hill that could not be conquered but every time this happened Vaughn was there to lift us and bring us that piece of mind that everything would be ok. During the escrow process, he was always a step ahead of us. He had all the bases covered and found a way to always get us the inspections and reports that we needed even if it was last minute. We felt like royalty because Vaughn was there to make sure he removed as much stress as possible. We were finally able to close on our dream home and I have no doubt that I owe everything to him. He is not just a great agent but a great friend, advisor, and someone that will fight for you. Thank you so much Vaughn.
