Andrea was able to meet with us right away and was very responsive, friendly and helpful throughout the process. We were able to finish the entire process within 3 weeks after securing the winning bid and reasonable credits.

I worked with Kimberly Schmidt and then Andrea Young when buying my new home in the San Diego area. It was a long and challenging process for reasons outside of their control, and they stayed committed to supporting me through the issues that came up and getting me into my home. I was simultaneously selling my home in a very different housing market than the HOT San Diego market, and it was very difficult at times. Kimberly helped me navigate challenges that arose and was creative, aggressive, and professional in her approach.I began working with Andrea when Kimberly had a pre-scheduled vacation and they worked seamlessly as a team to make sure my home search continued to move forward. I was moving from Northern California and Andrea helped me view home and make offers remotely when opportunities arose between my visits and we needed to act quickly. Andrea was knowledgeable, responsive, and very even-keeled (which was so reassuring in such an overwhelming process). I am so happy with how things turned out and very grateful for their hard work and support. Thanks Kimberly and Andrea!

My wife and I used Andrea Young to purchase our first home. While we had no idea just how much we didn’t know, the experience didn’t feel that way with Andrea. She was extremely patient with us and let us move at a pace we were comfortable with. She took several trips up to north county to show us several homes and help us navigate the offer process. This step is critical as good homes are still competitive and she always was quick to let us know whether an offer was enough to likely be selected to be in the running.While I could go on and on, the point here is simple. Andrea Young is an experienced, patient, knowledgable realtor who comes with ample references for the many services that follow entering escrow such as home inspections, roofers, etc.If you are looking for a realtor that listens and cares, look no further, you have found it with Andrea Young!

I cannot recommend Jeff Hinds, my realtor, highly enough! His exceptional dedication and unwavering commitment to helping me find and purchase my dream property have left me truly impressed. Despite being based in Chicago, I was in search of a property in San Diego, making the process quite challenging. However, Jeff's innovative approach and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference.From the very beginning, Jeff's willingness to accommodate my unique situation stood out. He seamlessly utilized FaceTime to show me properties, ensuring I didn't miss out on any opportunities. His expert guidance and keen eye helped me narrow down my options effectively. Jeff's assistance in securing pre-approvals simplified the financial aspect, and his thorough understanding of the process reassured me every step of the way.His dedication and assurance gave me the confidence to make such a monumental decision remotely. Jeff's expertise in negotiating and navigating complex real estate transactions was evident throughout the entire process.Even post-purchase, Jeff's involvement didn't stop. He continued to prove his commitment by helping coordinate various aspects of making the property truly mine. From arranging painting and cleaning services to ensuring the property was in pristine condition, Jeff went above and beyond. His attention to detail and genuine care for his clients are truly commendable.Jeff's exceptional professionalism, dedication, and expertise have left an indelible mark on my real estate journey. I am incredibly grateful for his guidance, which turned what could have been a daunting experience into a smooth and exciting adventure. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend Jeff to anyone in search of a realtor who truly cares about their clients and is willing to go the extra mile to make their dreams a reality. Thank you, Jeff, for your outstanding service!

Jeff Hinds helped make finding a place extremely easy for me and my family. He was very knowledgeable about everything and was on top of everything we asked in a timely manner. He was everything you could ask for in a realtor. We were out of town buyers and he was very accommodating and patient with us with that as well, as we didn't know the ins and outs of California real estate.Couldn't recommend a better realtor if you're looking in the San Diego area.

Andrea Young did a very thorough job in getting our rental condo sold quickly handling multiple offers very efficiently and timely. She always kept us informed by e mail, text and/or phone calls and was very professional. We would use her services again if needed and will refer her to friends and family.

If you want to sell your house, the only choice for a realtor in my mind is Kimberly Schmidt! She is simply amazing… her recommendations and advice are spot on and with her at your side, the home sale process will be as smooth as possible and you will sell for top dollar despite the uncertain market.Kimberly was phenomenal throughout what turned out to be a multi-month process to get my house sold. She went above and beyond throughout the process along with her team; her assistant Normalynn literally went to the house daily for weeks to check status on various things. I am not inexperienced when it comes to the real estate market (my husband and I owned 4 homes in three different states, sold 2 in last few years). So when I decided to put this house on the market, I did a lot of research and interviewed a few realtors before moving forward with Kimberly. She stood apart from the others with her knowledge, expertise, marketing strategy, and beyond impressive connections to local businesses/contractors. We are not living in San Diego right now so that made the process extra stressful and worrisome knowing I would need to hand over control of such an important process and not be able to personally take charge. Our trust in Kimberly was well placed. She and her team delivered despite the uncertain housing market and some unexpected challenges which included our first buyers backing out at the last second and some relatively extensive required repairs.At every step, Kimberly was available to answer questions and strategize on the best way ahead. She will be patient when you have lots of questions or get frustrated with various steps in the home sale process, but she is also capable of being quite aggressive when it’s needed to get the sale across the finish line! Her staging, photography, and social media strategy to advertise and generate buzz on my listing was top notch. Beyond that, she has a tremendous contact list of reputable professionals and was able to get painting, repairs, cleaning, and more repairs completed on a tight schedule. She was extremely responsive and updated me at every turn in this process.If I could give more than five stars on my review, I absolutely would!

Kimberly and her team are a great group and we would give 10 stars if we could! We first met Kimberly in 2007 when we moved to San Diego and were looking for a place to live. She impressed us immediately as someone who had considerable insights, a strong ability to discern our likes and tastes, and a commitment to making sure we found a home we liked. (In three days) Even with a somewhat difficult seller, she closed the deal.Fast forward to 2002 and we decided to relocate to Northern California. Kimberly was our first call and again, she proved herself to be savvy, strong and incredibly knowledgeable about when and how to list our home. We missed the amazing seller's market of earlier this year, but despite the ongoing mortgage rate hikes and declining prices of late summer Kimberly did a great job marketing our property and made sure our house sold once we had a buyer. In fact, three offers came in quick succession and she navigated everyone's expectations carefully and thoughtfully. She is an excellent communicator, she does not miss any detail, and we think she is just superb.

I will start by saying we conducted an extensive interview process, to include calling multiple references, prior to going with Kimberly and her team. My wife and I were very impressed by her market insight. Just as importantly she and her team were very responsive. She was always available for questions and updated us every step of the way. Despite our first buyers cancelling we were back on the market for less than three days prior to accepting a new offer, and ultimately with her guidance we were able to sell our home at appraised value even in this uncertain and fluctuating real estate market. I would highly recommend Kimberly and her team without any reservation!

Andrea helped me buy my first home and she went above and beyond to make it a smooth process. I was living on the east coast and purchasing a home on the west coast which made it complicated, but she made it easy. It was also my first time buying a home, and she explained everything along the way and helped me understand the process. She walked through the homes and took plenty of photos and videos with detailed descriptions of the place. She is incredibly knowledgeable, not just about the housing market but also about the city of San Diego, and I trusted her completely. Andrea was always easy to contact and responded promptly. She set expectations with my lender and made sure they new what deadlines to expect in the California market. In the end, she found me the perfect home in a neighborhood that I adore! I feel incredibly lucky to have had her as my realtor. I don’t think I would have ended up in this beautiful home without all of her hard work. Every time I hear that someone might be looking for a home, I immediately recommend her!

My wife and I are ‘high-maintenance’ customers and not very easy to please. We do a lot of research when it comes to large financial transactions (such as selling a home) and we tend to have strong opinions about sales strategies. We aren’t real estate rookies either (sold 6 homes, across 4 states, in the past 10 years) so, when it came time to sell our condo in San Diego, I interviewed 3 highly-reviewed agents that all came well recommended. Compass stood apart from the others right away with their data-driven marketing approach that really appealed to us.At first, we were skeptical of some of their ideas (remember we are ‘high-maintenance’). However, we trusted them and let them handle things their way. Totally paid off!! Even though the market was showing signs of cooling off, they managed to get multiple interested parties in our home through their internal and external network of customers and agents. They managed to set the high-mark for our building (to date). Their strategy was brilliant and we were quite pleased with the results. Let Kimberly and Jeff into your home and go with their ideas. They won’t steer you wrong. I would recommend them to anyone, including other ‘high-maintenance’ customers like us!

We are so grateful to have worked with Jeff buying our first home! He was always responsive and really worked with us to figure out exactly what we were looking for. It was our first time buying a home and we were new to the area, and he has been so helpful in walking us through the entire process, helping us to get to know different neighborhoods, and finding a fantastic home for our family. He continues to be an incredible resource as we get settled in our new home. I highly recommend working with Jeff!
