Success stories

"Lina Saba is simply outstanding. She helped us find our dream home in La Mesa while working within a tight budget, a home with everything we needed and wanted, in a fantastic location. Throughout the process, she navigated negotiations with the seller's agent skillfully, building a genuine rapport with the sellers that made everything go smoothly. To add we were not the highest bid, she found out … what was important to the sellers coupled with a human connection enabled us getting our awesome first home.
What really set Lina apart was her kindness and generosity. She got us into our home earlier than expected, met us late at night to make sure we got the keys, and even welcomed us with a thoughtful housewarming gift. She treats her clients like family and consistently goes above and beyond. She never seems to take a day off when it comes to taking care of her clients.
We highly recommend Lina to anyone looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely cares about her clients' happiness"

"My wife and I worked with Lina to help us buy a single family home in San Diego, and the experience was great from start to finish. She was always responsive - answered every call and text, which really mattered when we needed quick answers.
Lina's knowledge of neighborhoods and her ability to find homes that matched what we were looking for impressed us. She was proactive and thoughtful througho… ut the entire process, and the smooth closing process made everything feel manageable.
I'd definitely recommend Lina to anyone looking to buy a home in San Diego."

"After my husband and I moved to San Diego a few years ago, our friend and realtor Ola introduced us to Lina, who was a key partner in helping us buy a single family home in San Diego from start to finish!
From the first call, we could feel Lina's friendliness and warmth. She helped us feel comfortable and excited about the home buying process by introducing us to different neighborhoods that fit … our lifestyle and budget. She was able to quickly recommend homes that we were interested in, and was always responsive with comments on listings. When we went to viewings, she put together a lot of options for us and we were surprisingly able to get through up to 7 in a day! Lina was the one that found and suggested the home that we ended up putting an offer on, so we are so thankful for her proactiveness, keen eye, and attention to our needs.
Lina was also very supportive and resourceful during the escrow, and was able to tap into her broad network to help us with our various needs. She answered every call and text, and was super communicative with us, our lender, and our other vendor partners throughout, which made for a smooth closing process and helped reduce our stress!
On the move-in day, Lina went above and beyond by checking in and even sending us a surprise meal! Beyond that, Lina has built a wonderful community with her clients by organizing events, like outdoor yoga and smoothies, enabling people settling into the area to feel welcomed into their new home.
My husband and I are so thankful to have had Lina as a part of our friendly support system during this whole process. I would definitely recommend Lina to anyone looking to buy a home in San Diego!"

"My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Lina as our real estate agent during our home buying journey in San Diego, and I cannot express how incredibly fortunate we were to have her by our side. From the very beginning, Lina showcased exceptional qualities that set her apart from other agents in the industry.
First and foremost, Lina is undeniably personable. Her warm and friend… ly demeanor immediately put us at ease, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. As first-time homebuyers, we had many concerns and questions, and Lina's approachable nature helped calm our nerves and instilled confidence in our decisions.
Moreover, Lina's communication skills are unparalleled. She was always readily available to answer our inquiries, no matter how trivial they may have seemed. We never felt left in the dark, thanks to her transparent and proactive communication style.
One of the standout qualities that Lina possesses is her exceptional negotiation skills. In the competitive real estate market of San Diego, her expertise and strategic approach truly shone. Our journey involved making offers on three different homes, and each time, Lina's excellent relationships within the industry opened doors for us. While we had opportunities to secure the previous homes, we eventually found our dream home with the third offer. Lina's negotiation prowess played a significant role in helping us clinch the deal, and for that, we are immensely grateful.
In a dynamic market like San Diego, Lina stands out as a beacon of excellence. Her skill set not only provides a competitive advantage to the buyer but also ensures a smooth and successful transaction. Having worked in the real estate industry myself, I can genuinely recognize the extraordinary efforts and talent that Lina possesses. Her dedication to her clients is unmatched, and her commitment to ensuring their satisfaction is evident in every step she takes.
We wholeheartedly recommend Lina to anyone in search of a top-notch real estate agent. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or an experienced investor, Lina's expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients will exceed your expectations. Thank you, Lina, for making our homebuying experience unforgettable, making our dreams come true, and for being a true gem in the real estate industry!"

"First of all I want to state that no this review is not AI, and I don't think the others are either.
Working with Lina Saba has been a genuinely exceptional experience, and I am so extremely glad to have had her by my side for buying my first condo. She was always responsive, answered all my questions clearly and without any judgement (even the stupid questions 😉), and made the entire process so … smooth, convenient, and strees free that I'm actually a little sad we're done working together! She wasn't pushy, completely undertood my buying criteria, stuck to my budget, and quickly found me exactly the condo I was looking for.
Thank you Lina. You're a phenomenal buyer's agent, and I really appreciate all the work you put in for me."

"We are so happy to have experienced our home purchase with Lina. Lina is so kind and dedicated to her clients. Lina was so helpful from the beginning to after the end of our escrow. Lina was answering our text or phone calls before and after hours. Lina made this process seem so easy. We give Lina a five star for her excellence! Thanks again Lina!!!"

"Kimberly and Barbara are both my buyer and seller agent. I am so glad to have them to be my agent. They are incredibly communicative throughout our home buying and selling. They are so professional and patient."

"Kimberly Schmidt and her team helped us sell a single family home in Eastlake Greens in Chula Vista in just 5 days for $50,000 above our list price - we received multiple offers.
Kimberly followed the team's Confident Move Method™ framework, which focuses on strategic pricing and concierge-level preparation, and the end result was a very easy and organized sale. Their extensive print and digital … marketing looked great when we launched; we were priced perfectly; and we felt supported throughout the entire process. This was an out-of-state relocation that required careful coordination and lots of trust!"

"We moved to San Diego from Florida, which meant that almost all of our correspondence was from a distance and across three time zones. Barbara Torio was instrumental in helping us narrow down homes and dial-in the type of home my family needed. My wife and I visited San Diego for a week, and Barbara had multiple homes lined up for us to tour and was very flexible if plans changed. She helped us ne… gotiate with the seller and was instrumental in our getting the best price possible to purchase our home. Barbara was responsive, thorough, and amazing throughout! I can't imagine how the experience could have been much better!"

"If you are looking for elite yet approachable and personable, top-notch professionals to handle what is likely the most important financial transaction of your life, call Kimberly Schmidt and Barbara from Compass. They helped us sell our single-family home in Eastlake Vistas, Chula Vista, in a staggering six days. Not only did they secure multiple competitive offers, but they also negotiated a fin… al sale price several tens of thousands of dollars above our asking price. Their expertise, strategy, and personal dedication are truly unmatched."
