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.

“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.”

– 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!

Gretchen Mitchell, with Coldwell Banker, is an exceptional realtor who helped us sell a duplex in Chula Vista. She went out of her way to make this sale happen. We had long-term tenants we wanted to do right by, and she provided all the support necessary to help us work correctly and fairly with them. She also demonstrated outstanding communication along the way and was patient when we needed to take our time in going through the process. She had excellent ideas and recommendations for the appropriate improvements to do for an older property. To top it off, she was very easy to work with. Her experience was evident in dealing with a sale that was just a bit more complicated than selling a basic single family home. She knew all the ins and outs of the escrow process and guided us well. Gretchen has our highest recommendation!

Gretchen Mitchell, our realtor at Coldwell Banker, was on top of the real estate market and changes that were happening as our sale was just before the pandemic caused everyone to stay home. She reassured us and kept us calm. She is very knowledgeable about the market and gave us comps which helped us price our house appropriately. In fact, our house sold in less than a week at pretty much our asking price.

– DONNA MARIE R., SELLER

Gretchen is very personable and easy to work with. She’s very responsive and thorough with any questions you might have. She always does what is needed to get the deal done!
