Testimonials

“I could not be more thankful to have Gretchen Mitchell's support through the purchase of our first home. She makes the process do-able, not intimidating, and is able to so gracefully translate all the legal jargon into understandable terms. We appreciated how straightforward, diligent, and professional she is. Not to mention, she is hilarious and will make the process so enjoyable. We are now happy living in our dream home, all thanks to Gretchen's hard work ethic and amazing reputation. We will absolutely be referring her to all of our friends and family!”

“We bought our first home with the help of Gretchen. She made the whole experience fun. She walked us through each step of the process and it never felt overwhelming. Buying a home for the first time can be frustrating especially in this market and she always kept our spirits high. Her knowledge is the reason why we were able to get into our first home. I highly recommend working with Gretchen, it was such a positive experience.”

– ZACHARY R., BUYER

"Once again, Gretchen took good care of me. For almost a year she supported me as I looked for a new home. She gracefully guided me through four bids, with the last being the charm and the very best I could have hoped for. Most notably, she was always available even when faced with new deadlines. Also, she always addressed every question I asked. She even did the extra research when necessary, such as figuring out how to file the Reappraisal Exclusion for San Diego County. And, I was often amused by how easily she settled seemingly impossible situations. I couldn't be happier with the experience and of course the results. Do yourself a favor. Forget your buddy; go with experience and hire her!"

“Gretchen made our first-time home-buying experience seamless and enjoyable. We had a tight budget, but Gretchen was unwavering in her search for the perfect home. She provided gentle guidance when needed, emotional support when unasked and shared her vast real estate knowledge with us to help us decide on the “must-haves.” I could not imagine doing this process with anyone else – and I would recommend Gretchen to everyone I know. Her patience, expertise and professionalism seem to come naturally to her. I hope anyone looking for help in this usually difficult process would choose Gretchen to help them because she is absolutely the best. Thank you so much, Gretchen!”

“We have had two wonderful experiences with Gretchen. She helped us purchase a condo five years ago, and recently we were able to sell a condo with Gretchen’s help. As we live out of state, we relied on Gretchen to orchestrate the painters, handyman, carpet layers and cleaning crew to get the condo ready for sale. Our property sold within a few days of the listing. Gretchen is very knowledgeable and professional. We highly recommend her for any real estate needs you may have in the area.”

– Annette M., Seller and Buyer

“Our experiences with Gretchen Mitchell span decades and cover every imaginable real estate operation, including buying properties, managing rentals and selling properties. In all cases, she was knowledgeable, considerate, responsive and efficient. She even oversaw renovations and showed very good taste, adding value to the property. In short, with Gretchen, you will find a range of competencies that will make real estate transacting both pleasant and successful. We highly recommend her.”

– Kathryn G., Seller and Buyer

I was relocating to North San Diego County from the San Francisco Bay Area, and a good friend recommended Gretchen based on having worked with her in the past. I am so grateful for the recommendation! I was looking from outside the area, so efficiency was very important. Based on my list of likes, dislikes and must-haves, Gretchen showed me a wide range of houses that helped me really decide what was right for me and what met my needs within my budget. I was able to find my new home in one trip. I’m delighted with the beautiful townhouse Gretchen found for me – in a great location for the right price. A big thanks to Gretchen!
