Appraisal

The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment. They have their own checklist of things they look at for the final approval to move forward. The appraiser can demand repairs completed by the seller before they will give their approval.

Inspections

Now that you've found your home we need to order the inspection. The inspection will let you know what repairs are needed, some are minor and some may be safety issues. Don't worry, you are still protected.

Raving Reviews

We had the distinct pleasure of working with Gustavo and Jenni for the purchase of our first home. From the very beginning of the process, we were very impressed with their professionalism and extensive expertise in the San Diego real estate market. As a team, they excelled in every aspect, going above and beyond to ensure that our home-buying journey was smooth and stress-free. From guiding us through each step of the process to ensuring we were well-informed in our decision-making, Jenni and Gustavo impressed us with their thoroughness and straightforwardness. No matter the time of the day, they were always prompt in responding to our texts, phone calls, and emails, which greatly eased our anxieties. Their efficiency in sending offers and communication strategies with sellers was particularly commendable. Moreover, Gustavo and Jenni connected us with excellent professionals, including a home inspector, termite inspectors, a contractor, and movers. As a result, our transition to the new home turned out to be simple and trouble-free. We truly felt that they always had our best interests at heart. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Jenni and Gustavo as our real estate agents and cannot recommend them highly enough. Their exceptional service and commitment to their clients are unparalleled.
My husband and I recently closed on a condominium purchase this summer. Working with Gustavo and Jenni Lopez played a pivotal role in making this a great experience for us especially since we reside in Northern California and we didn't know the San Diego area very well. Our transaction was primarily a virtual one on our end and we heavily relied on Gustavo and Jenni's experience to guide us through the process. They provided us with helpful advice on how to approach our property search especially with SD's competitive real estate market and setting realistic expectations. They were quick to grasp our needs and what we were looking for, and made sure we were aware of listings that fit our needs. Gustavo and Jenni are extremely organized and responsive. They provided us with a complete list of properties that met our requirements. We could count on them to quickly follow-up with the listing agents and get us more information. We were in escrow within 3-days from the start of our property search and our transaction closed within three weeks! We appreciated that Jenni and Gustavo are real estate agents with a strong familiarity with the local San Diego market. They helped us put together a competitive offer and were diligent about checking in with the listing agent to get us prompt updates. They went above and beyond in making sure we experienced a smooth and seamless transaction. We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Gustavo and Jenni. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy and/or sell a home in San Diego! They are the best!!!
First home buyers, those who already have one but want more, sellers and, honestly, anyone who does not have a realtor and need one, look no further! A former co-worker of mine recommended Jenni and Gustavo to me a year ago referencing their robust approach and I cannot be happier with them. They are truly the best and here is why… I started my condo search last year – we visited a few homes but my heart was not there. Despite unsuccess Gustavo and Jenni remained super supportive, sweet and stayed in touch until we found the perfect home this April. Not only they created customized search for me (in-unit laundry was the must), but also they periodically checked on me sharing latest news and trends in the real estate world. If I found a potential condo of interest on Zillow but needed more details, I would simply forward them the link and would have a full break down on the property in less than an hour. All ins and outs – hidden fees and stipulations. I did not even need to waste time on viewing! Their response speed is out of this world. Once I finally made up my mind, we viewed a few properties and settled on the one. Funny story during viewing – as female homeowner, safety is a big factor for me. While I was in the living room of the condo, Gustavo pulled me aside and mentioned, “hey there is a best western next door, be aware and let’s walk that area after to see if it is safe” – great point, I have not even paid attention to it yet ! I walked to the bedroom where Jenni was and she then pulled me aside and pointed out the best western!! I swear they share telepathic ability and are in complete sync when it comes to the clients’ needs!! To add to this, I am also not a huge elevator fan and wanted to take stairs to the garage, but did not see any. Gustavo literally drove to the new property, walked every single staircase, draw me a little map where I can access stairs and inquired with HOA if it was a possibly for me to get a key to the staircase leading to the garage. If you are also looking for the great customer service – look no further as these guys can definitely WOW you! As a first-time home owner, escrow, negotiation, inspections were extremely overwhelming to me. Jenni and Gustavo seamlessly walked me through each step giving me realistic heads up of what followed next, which was truly appreciated. They also recommended the loan officer, insurance agents, general contractor, you name it.. they literally know everyone with quality service and everyone else knows them. Very well-connected team that takes care of any of your needs. Front the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! And once I make enough money to buy another place, I am definitely not looking anywhere else as I found the best in business professionals.
We had the pleasure of working with Jenni and Gustavo when we purchased our dream home in Poway recently. It is no small feat to find a home and actually get an offer accepted in this market but Jenni and Gustavo never gave up. They always responded quickly and showed up full of energy and optimism. They are extremely professional and have a high level of integrity which is why I think other realtors wanted to work with them as well. When we did find our home; they moved quickly and negotiated skillfully on our behalf. They were able to recommend great inspectors ( home/pool) and get them to inspect within the week. The inspector found issues but Jenni and Gustavo worked through everything to help us get credits and also to get good contractors in to tell us how much things would cost to repair/replace so we knew what we were getting in to. This was a complex negotiation and rent back/seller in possession situation but it was never an issue with this dynamic duo! They knew how to get the deal done and even after the sale went through they followed up and helped us. We cannot say enough good things about Jenni and Gustavo and they make everything more Fun!
Gustavo & Jenni Lopez are the absolute BEST people to work with in Real Estate! The Lopez Group offers an unparalleled experience from start to finish. My wife & I were able to purchase our dream home in a rapid, seamless pace due in large part to the tenacity and dedication Gustavo & Jenni offer their clients. They both work as a cohesive team and have kept us informed in every step of the home buying process. Home buying and selling can be a stressful time, but we could not have asked for a better experience working with the Lopez Group, and we HIGHLY recommend home buyers and sellers to work with Gustavo & Jenni!

Loyalty

This custom presentation that I’ve shared with you is an example of the care and effort I put into each client. I recognize that this purchase is one of the largest financial transactions of your life and it deserves careful consideration and wise planning. In light of this, I feel strongly that mutual respect and understanding are key components of me helping you accomplish your real estate goals.

Reviewing each others roles and responsibilities as we embark on the next steps of your home-buying journey is how we can decide if we are ready to be loyal to one another.
