Keller Williams Realty

Haven’t even worked with this office and have had a terrible experience.
Their agent, Tina Do, came to my front door unannounced and rang the bell 4 times, then knocked loudly and when I didn’t answer rang the bell several times again. She had been soliciting at our house at least once before and was told we weren’t interested and not to bother us again. Highly unprofessional behavior and annoying someone at home when not even in the market! Would certainly not work with this agent and probably not this office.

Low class telemarketer. Received unsolicited telemarketing phone call from Louie Ortiz. Is this how a high-​end realtor is suppose to do business? Not impressive to say the least. Try to find some class Louie.

Someone please call me to help save our escrow. i am struggling alone with no one to turn to. We need the Keller Williams Broker to call me asap. Benjamin 323.229.0284

The receptionist was very sweet! I had the pleasure of meeting with Bobby Martin who is the most genuine Agent around. He is a no b.s. Guy who will help you obtain your dream home

MELINDA DIPERNA
Since me and my husband moved to California we felt we needed at least one year to give us time to visit all different areas of the town and think about what would be a perfect match for us, work wise and life style.
This journey has being realy rich and interesting because California is a special market. Realy fast and agressive, and what I mean about that, is if you like something you have to be ready to jump, and even compete with buyers that come cash. But you need someone by your side that have years of experience and knows the whole area.
After litteraly one year struggling with poor quality realtors that would realy just be there to open locks, its sad to say, but thats the truth, because I was doing their job on search homes and they were there just there to open the door. But anyway I learned.
So one day I saw this beautiful historic home but we were concearned about the neighborhood. In that day I had an insight telling me, «why dont you search who is the listing agen? t» Well and thats how .I found Melinda. Before I contact her I read about her carrer and even watched some of her videos on youtube and than I was so happy because I knew she was my real realtor. In reality Melinda is more than that, she is a broker.
Yes Im the heart and totally emotional, while my husband is the feets on the ground racional side, so when I met Melinda I knew she had a rare gift called emotional intelligence, something special that distinguish her from the crowd. And my hubby like her too, because of her honesty.
We wanted something close to downtown since our work is there, but she showed me few homes in order for me to realy be secure about what I was getting ready to commite.
The funny part is that when we visit the precious home we bought, the owner was there and I knew I should control my emotions but I felt in love, and having Melinda with me made me feel secure because she was checking everything that her amazing background, details that would passed my eyes.
We visited few homes and little by little I had Melinda literally teaching me how to look to some details and paying attention in everything. You will know from the moment you meet her what Im talking about. She is a transparent professional that works realy hard to see you happy. And nowadays with so many people pushing things, having someone like Melinda is unique.
I have ALL good words for her. She is an empowered professional honest not fake at all, with lots of knownolodge and at the same time a sincere good heart. I even told her if we ever move she will always be our Realtor.
She will for sure make you feel truly secure about your purchase.

Whatever you do, avoid this agency at all costs!!! I thought the problem was with only a single agent, Tiffany Abbiate, but unfortunately the behavior is prolific to this entire office. By their own website they describe this agent as, and I copy as stated, «extremely aggressive». That can be the understatement of the century!!! Tiffany was the seller’s agent on the house we bought. Throughout the transaction she acted unprofessionally, missed commitment after commitment giving us the run around with every excuse from family emergencies to crashed computers to bad phones to running long meetings, you name it she claimed it. Yet although she was overdue (by over 20 days on documents she owed us), she kept harassing us to remove our contingencies, posting defamation of us on the MLS listing because we refused to remove contingency before getting the required documents, calling our lender at 4 am, making demands he issues documents when required repairs have not been made. Tiffany kept contacting my lender after express requests to go through our agent if she has any questions. She kept contacting my lender to negotiate my terms directly with him on repairs we asked for, dates, etc. She was rude, abusive, and downright nasty. She does not take lightly to not controlling and bullying everyone and is really over reaching, crosses the line of ethics, and is the type to claim that she is the savior and that no one is doing their job when she is the cause of all the delays. Tiffany did not act in good faith and actually was unethical in my opinion. She staged the house and claimed on the MLS appliances that she knew would not be functional without major alterations to the house (no outlets exists for the appliances to even plug into). The real kicker in all of this is when I called her general manager Jim Reifeiss to have him reel her in a bit as she was out of control, he was completely supportive of her stating he thinks she was not unprofessional in any manner and that she has the right to harass me, my agent, and my lender at any time day or night (stating some people like to work at night… seriously??? 4 AM calls???). He even misrepresented his conversations with my agent and lender claiming neither thought she was unprofessional (when they both did and actually talked to him at length and gave him several examples of the inappropriate behavior) but this guy did not care at all. Again, bad company, bad business. If you are a buyer and see the agency representing the seller, run away. If you are a seller and care about your house and reputation in your community, run away! It has been a hell of a month for us! Tiffany was contracted by the seller to stage the house, she removed her staging on the very last day leaving gaping holes in the walls where she ripped the curtain rods right out without bothering patching anything, left the house a complete disaster with trash everywhere (nails and debris scattered everywhere, she left all her big item staging boxes and misc big wood items she had removed when staging in my garage that I had to get transported to a dumpster along with 2 full overflowing bins of trash that she left in my garage) she didn’t have the decency to remove her trash and left it for us to deal with as a house warming present. I couldn’t even throw my own garbage for a whole week and had to spend $ 400+ in cleaning fees to clean all the mess she left including rat droppings that was under the stuff she took and did not bother removing. She left lock boxes and her sign in my front yard for over 2 weeks and would not care to remove them even after being contacted to do so several times! This agency is down right nasty! literally and figuratively! Tiffany has no decency or manners and zero professionalism and customer service. During the purchase process she refused to allow us to test the washer and dryer, claiming the seller does not want anyone touching their appliances (which were included in the sale mind you). Now 2 weeks after we move in we find out that the washer lines leak into the walls and we now have major repairs $$$ to worry about. The bullying tactics were odd and strong! and her manipulation pretty apparent! they had just let it dry for a few months while the house was vacant is what my contractor assessed! Again, Tiffany had staged that house for the entire period including the laundry room and the non-​functioning appliances. BEWARE!!! RUN!!! that is the best advice I can give you!

We just bought our first house in San Diego. Jane Kadysheva McIntyre was our relator. I don’t have a lot of experience buying homes, or knowing all the tasks a relator must do… but she was AMAZING. Right from the beginning she was friendly, listened to what we were interested in, gave us honest feedback, and answered ALL of our questions. When we had any questions about the property she got us the answers and then some. For example, there had been an insurance claim on the property and she got us not only the estimates and report — but PICTURES of the damage. Also estimates from places the previous owner didn’t use! She helped us get in touch with contractors, came to the property when we couldn’t be there for estimates, etc. She was always available. So kind, and just really informed. I wish she had her own Unilocal site! Thank you Jane! We love our house!!!

Looking forward to working with Melissa Cizauskas, she has so much energy and excitement for her job. I have no doubt she will help me make the right choice of which of my rental properties to sell and when I will be able to make the most profit.

Thanks a whole lot for helping us loose a home we were truely interested in. we had to put an offer with their realtor Jane McIntyre they said in order to have a stronger offer we had to use their lender. we were truely interested in bid for full price… after 4 days of texting, calling Jane McIntyre said oh they went with another buyer… thanks for working with us i guess and not fighting 150% to counter offer. Your team is truely the most unproffessional.

Deserves a negative, not worthy of any stars! The most unprofessional and corrupt realty and broker firm combined. Not responsive, agent and managers refuse to return calls especially if there are questions and concerns.

I would give them a NO STARS if I could. Absolutely lousy and unethical. Do not list your home with them. They do not have your interest at heart. We are a prequalified buyer with the ability to finance twice the value of the home we are looking at. The agent (with this office) has the listing. He did not submit our offer to the sellers because he wanted one of his clients to get the bid (for those of you unaware, he gets both sides of the commission that way)! He actually told our agent that. We waited a week and a half before he submitted our offer to the home owners — with his offer. Can’t imagine why it took so long to submit an offer that was a FULL offer for the asking price, and we would pay all our own closing costs and any repairs, inspections, etc. on the home that was needed.
RUN away from this company!
Funny they have their realtors rating them with 5 stars to improve their ratings. Speaks VOLUMES about their services. Read all of the negative reviews if you want to get the real story.
By the way, the only reason we were able to purchase our home is because we contacted the sellers directly when he repeatedly did not submit it to them. Google is a great tool! They were not happy with him either. He tried to get them accept an offer that was worse than ours over ours (contingent). Luckily we had already had conversations with the current owners and neighbors and everyone liked us — except him. He lost his double commission! My guess is there was more happening on the back end than even the commission. Beware of their agents, apparently it isnt just him, its the whole office by the other reviews I’ve read. I contacted the Broker at one point, but he was no help.

Would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Petra Strecker. Her services have been invaluable to me. Always professional and knowledgeable she made the process of buying a home easy.
Thanks!

Incredible level of customer service. Great energy from staff and Realtors alike!

Isn’t realty a sales business? If you are thinking of listing your home with these folks, I’d personally move on to someone else. That’s certainly what I would do.
I’m not sure that Keller Williams gets their basic job. I just dealt with some realtor there named Matt Kolker, who is was the rudest realtor I’ve dealt with in recent memory and I’m the client trying to buy a home!

Here’s the scoop and details…
I live in San Francisco, but I have owned investment property in SD for about 20 years. On Nov 18, I saw a place on Zillow that looked interesting, for which I wanted to make a cash offer, because it was a market in which I am interested.
Since I don’t even have a realtor, I called the listing agent (Matt Kolker) to see if he would show it to me next week over Thanksgiving when I would be in town. Here is an amazing part: since I don’t have a realtor, I was even offering him the buyer’s agent (technically called a «selling agent») commission. So he stood to make double the normal commission if I buy it.
Given his job is to show the place, that I am a buyer with cash, that he stood to double his personal take and that it is his job to get the best deal for his client, you’d think he would bother to make an appointment.
That’s where you would be WRONG!
I asked if the place was in contract, because if it is then I wouldn’t want to waste my time or his time. He seemed confused on the point. First he said, «ya», then he said, «well, we have an offer». I said, «I don’t understand, do you or do you not have a contract?» He said, «we have an offer».
«OK, it seems like you are reluctant to show me the place. If you don’t have a contract, I’d like to see it next week.» To which he said, «We’re in contract» and declined to show me the place and slammed the phone down.
So, here I am ready to make a cash offer on this place and it appears to not be in contract and I even offer the benefit of letting him keep both sides of the commission and he won’t even drive over to show it to me… I’ve been in real estate for a long time and that’s exceptionally bad in my mind and I could not stay far enough away from this guy if I ever was listing a house.
And if you the owner of 7854 Camino Tranquilo… if you don’t have a contract today and you don’t get everything you had hoped for in the booming San Diego condo market, you might want to ask Matt why he won’t show your place to buyers.

Agents are rather unprofessional. I found one agent to be particularly rude to me.

CHRIS SLOAN, KELLER REALTY
Chris did a successful shortsale for me and he worked diligently in every step of the process of this sale. He answered every question I had fully and he kept me informed of our position on a regular basis. One of the things I most appreciated about Chris in the beginning was that he showed me property that I found and that he found for me and not ONCE did I feel «pressured» by him to take a deal. Chris evaluated and negotiated the property that I liked and I believe he got the best price on my behalf. Chris Sloan is a great agent and I highly recommend him as a buyer’s advocate.

Great realty service. Very patient agents, no pressure tactics.
