LOVED WORKING WITH HER

"I referred clients to Hana, and they absolutely loved working with her. She was thoughtful, attentive, and made the whole process feel smooth. Hana was very knowledgeable and guided my clients on the different communities in San Diego, CA. If you are moving to San Diego or anywhere in that area, you should reach out to Hana for guidance. She delivers exceptional results with warmth and heart."

-Nadia

HELPFUL, FRIENDLY, & PLEASANT

"Hana recently assisted me with obtaining a CMA on my property, and she was so helpful, friendly and pleasant to work with. The information was provided to me promptly and professionally, and when it is time for me to sell I will definitely want Hana to be my realtor. I feel confident recommending her highly to my friends and family."

GREAT EXPERIENCE

"Working with the Team on the sale of my home was a great experience. They are very hard workers and very energetic. They go above and beyond the call of duty for what is typical for a real estate agent. They made the entire process of selling our home quite painless and worry-free. They were there through the every phase of the sale, and did not stop working for us until the job was done. The Team was always ready to provide their knowledge and expertise to make the process go smoothly. They were very responsive to communication, and always made themselves available to answer questions if we needed. They always kept our interests first and foremost while negotiating with the buyer's agent. Our house was only on the market for less than a week before it sold...and we got 5% more than we were asking for it! This was mostly due to their expertise with setting an appropriate price, as well as properly managing the negotiating process. I would highly recommend the Team without reservation for your home buying/selling needs."

-Steven | Seller

EXCEPTIONALLY HELPFUL

"The Team are first-class estate professionals. They recently sold my deceased sister's charming Bankers Hill property that had been in the family for nearly eighty years. This unique home was particularly challenging to appraise as it was an original 1929 Spanish style which hadn't undergone extensive modifications. The Team consulted with local appraisers, historic home experts, and Bankers Hill/Mission Hills neighborhood specialists to accurately value the home. They documented their extensive findings and developed a sales strategy taking into account a variety of factors including a cooling housing market, rising interest rates, and a niche buyer pool. The Team was exceptionally helpful, informative, and available throughout all stages of the sales process and, once an o!er was accepted, they utilized their impressive rolodex (inspectors, escrow, lender) to ensure that the closing progressed smoothly and timely. Without reservation, I enthusiastically recommend the Team for your real estate needs."

-Brad | Seller in San Diego

TRULY CARE

"I cannot rave about the Team enough. I felt they genuinely wanted what was best for my family and were committed to helping us find the light home, and were not in it for a quick and easy sale. They truly care and go above and beyond. Of course, none of that matters without the expertise to back it up, which they have a million times over. They helped me purchase a home in a transaction with multiple moving paints, including mortgage assistance from my employer that required additional expertise and an older property needing multiple repairs. These complications required negotiating with the seller for a month before making our offer. The Team was clear and prompt communicators who kept me in the loop and explained things clearly and patiently, and they were tough but realistic negotiators. Finally, their knowledge of the local community and market is impressive, and their well-established relationships to other realtors and to vendors is invaluable."

-Miranda F.

OUTSTANDING

"Our experience with the Team was outstanding. They made the whole process so easy for us. They helped us prepare the home to sell and presented us with excellent market research to help us set a price. They did an outstanding job negotiating with potential buyers and only brought us very serious offers that we were happy to consider. They took care of a lot on their own (while keeping us informed at every step) so the whole experience was very low burden for us. This was by far the best experience we had with any realtor buying or selling a home. We absolutely would work with the Team again."

-Norman S. | Seller in San Marcos

MANAGING EVERY DETAIL

"The Team has been instrumental in both purchasing as well as selling properties for our family, having led and managed many transactions for us. Their expertise, professionalism, knowledge of the market and resourcefulness coupled with their dedication, hard work, deep personal relationships and unending amount of energy result in successful outcomes every time. Just last week, they again succeeded by quickly selling our Carmel Valley home and managing every detail of the process to an on-time and budget closing. We highly recommend the Team to anyone looking to purchase or sell property in San Diego and can say without reservation that they will lead more transactions for us in the future as well."

-Chris & Michelle C. | Seller

BEST EXPERIENCE WE HAD

"Our experience with the Team was outstanding. They made the whole process so easy for us. They helped us prepare the home to sell and presented us with excellent market research to help us set a place. They did an outstanding job negotiating with potential buyers and only brought us very serious offers that we were happy to consider. They took care of a lot on their own (while keeping us informed at every step) so the whole experience was very low burden for us. This was by far the best experience we had with any realtor buying or selling a home. We absolutely would work with the Team again."

-Greg & Sonya N.

PLEASANT, RESPONSIVE, & ENCOURAGING

"We could not have asked for more competent and professional real estate agents. This was an out of state transaction for a property that had unique and legally complicated requirements. The Team consistently addressed all of the various issues in a very thorough and proactive manner. They were always pleasant, responsive and encouraging throughout our contact that lasted over 8 months. We would highly recommend them."

-Mr. & Mrs. E.

ULTIMATE REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL

"The Team are the ultimate real estate professionals. This is the third home sale that they have represented me in. I continue to choose the Team, because they continue to provide the highest caliber of ethical, capable service. Selling your home is a business decision. Choosing the Team is the best decision that I continue to make."

-Jenny D. | Seller in Encinitas

HELPFUL AND PROFESSIONAL

"The Team was extraordinarily helpful and professional. I highly recommend them. They are honest, transparent and extremely fantastic at their job. Our situation was very complicated because the house was in a trust and the trustee was on the East Coast. The homeowner was diagnosed with Dementia so there were a lot of legal levels to understand which the Team did a great job of coordinating to facilitate the sale."

-Muriel J. | Seller in Del Mar

EXCELLENT JOB

"The Team helped us sell a house in Del Mar Heights. We had already moved out of the area, so as absentee owners really relied heavily on the Team. They handled everything from marketing, open houses, inspections, repairs, etc and helped us get the house sold. They were honest hard workers and did an excellent job in all facets of the sale."

-Seller in Del Mar

STRONG WORK ETHIC

"We hired the Team January of 2025 to help us sell our property in Tierrasanta. During this time, we have had the opportunity to work closely with the Team and have been thoroughly impressed with their abilities and achievements. They consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic and a high level of commitment to selling our home. They demonstrated excellent interpersonal skills and work effectively in as a team. Their positive attitude and strong communication skills were instrumental in their relationships with us, colleague realtors and potential buyers. Overall, I strongly recommend this team for your next real estate deals. You will not be disappointed."

-BCH Adams

FABULOUS

"The Team was fabulous! They are true professionals. They gave us great advice, when advice was critical, was always accessible, completely focused, very knowledgeable, and always cheerful, respectful, and very patient. They have terrific personalities for this industry. We definitely would use them again without hesitation."

-Judge B.

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE

"The Team made our first home buying experience absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, they were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. Their expertise and understanding of the market were evident in every step of the process. The Team were always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had, making us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire journey. Their attention to detail and commitment to finding the perfect home for us were truly remarkable. They took the time to understand our needs and preferences, and their dedication to helping us find the right fit was unwavering. Their professionalism and friendly demeanor made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for better brokers to guide us through such an important milestone. We highly recommend the Team to anyone looking to buy a home. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are so grateful for their exceptional service. Thank you for helping us find our first home!"

-Buyer in Carlsbad

UNIQUE EXPERTISE

"The Team did a great job managing the sale of my Grand Del Mar unit ownership--a fractional ownership of a Villa attached to the Fairmont Grand Del Mar Resort. She had to work diligently both with potential buyers but also with property homeowner's association due to a dispute between the city of San Diego and the owners of the Grand Del Mar Resort. I believe their unique expertise with respect to the Grand Del Mar Resort was instrumental in completion of this sale at a fair price."

-Michael S.

TRUE PRO

"The Team are true pros at their craft. They knows what their doing and makes the whole process enjoyable. When we had concerns or questions about the market or the property the Team worked with us even though they were out of town on vacation. When we had questions about market conditions, litigation, assessments, etc. the answers were at their fingertips. You cannot go wrong working with this Team!"

-John H.

EXCELLENT JOB

"The Team did an excellent job leasing out my home. They came to the property, listened carefully and heard my wishes regarding a quality tenant. They communicated with me regularly and found a qualified tenant quickly. They staged and marketing the property very well. I am very pleased with Pacific Sotheby's and expect to work with them for years to come."

-Client in Encinitas

ABSOLUTE BEST

"The Team are the absolute best! We have purchased two properties with them and we couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention they paid to us throughout the entire process from the initial search to recommending contractors for post home purchase renovations. Their experience and attention to detail far exceeds expectations and we will continue to work with them for any of our real estate needs in the future!"

-Anish P.

10 OUT OF 10

"The Team was highly professional, very knowledgeable, and tremendously helpful. My home purchase went very smoothly, and I am very grateful to the Team for that. I would give them a 10 out of 10."

-David G.

ALL STAR

"The Team are a realtor angels. This was my first time working with them and they blew us away. They were all stars - from their professionalism, industry knowledge, availability, drive, experience, proactiveness, all the way to her approachable demeanor. Even their rolodex of associates from inspectors, loan agents, and specialists (foundation, termite, etc) were highly competent and made themselves readily available even in this pandemic time period. We purchased in Del Mar and they know the area like the back of their hand - which streets are great for families, lower noise, higher future property value, etc. What I liked most outside of their real estate experience was just that they genuinely got to know us on a personal level and adapt their approach accordingly - even down to our preferred style of communication (including frequency, method - text vs call, after hours, etc...). They never pressured us or was 'salesy', and even took the other side a few times on being able to keep looking for other places if we wanted. They went to bat for me several times successfully with the seller, all in a positive way keeping a great working relationship with the sellers agent. They have reached out several times after the sale closed just to check in and offer their help and advice, which is ridiculously above and beyond, but what makes them so special. If you get the opportunity to work with the Team I would not hesitate, jump! They're amazing."

-Katie A. | Buyer

BEST REALTOR

"The Team are the best realtors we've worked with over the past 25 years. They are well known in the area and are very knowledgable about locations and comparable homes and has an excellent network of service professionals. We never felt pressured by them and they are fantastic about answering emails, texts and phone calls. It was truly a pleasure working with them!!!"

-Anthony S. | Buyer

GO-TO SOURCE

"The Team has been my go-to source for local real estate info for years. They are so knowledgeable about the market at various price points. The Team recently helped me and my family shop for a new home in Del Mar. They took the time to understand our wishlist. They met us at several properties and pointed out pros and cons at each based on what WE wanted. They were great advocates for us through the bidding and negotiating process. They are organized, efficient, and make their clients feel as though they are the top priority!"

-Buyer in Del Mar

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE

"We had a wonderful experience with the Team. As new homeowners, purchasing for the first time can be very stressful. The Team held our hand start to finish and reassured us by how available they were. Highly recommend!"

-Buyer in Del Mar

TRULY KNOWS HER STUFF

"The Team truly knows their stuff - how to present your home for maximum interest, how to create a sense of urgency in the marketplace, how to negotiate offers and finally, how to get the sale. We were thrilled with how things went because we had some challenging circumstances come up on the sale side and they handled it all like the pros they are."

-Seller in College West

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

"With so many real estate agents in our circle, how do you decide? We certainly had this dilemma when choosing who to work with. We decided to give the Team a shot, and it was the best decision we could have made. They are extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, on top of the process every single step of the way from going to open houses all the way through the loan process, and even after closing. It's important to choose an agent who has great relationships with other agents, loan officers, contractors, etc...and she does! The Team is extremely professional, likeable, and will ensure that your experience is a positive one. I highly recommend working with them!!"

-Jeana Z. | Buyer

VERY THOUGHTFUL

"This is our 3rd transaction with the Team! They always goes above and beyond what we expect. They are very thoughtful thru out the entire process to make sure we got the best deal and sold our home for top dollar! I highly recommend them and always do!"

-Seller in Encinitas

SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES EVERY TIME

-Chris & Michelle C. | Seller

EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS

"The Team helped us with the sale of our first home. After a horrible experience with the agent who we used to buy our home, we were seeking agents who were knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, and caring. The Team fit the bill and exceeded our expectations! They used their resources and experience to sell our home in 30 days! We are excited to start searching for our next home with her. Thank you!"

-Seller

PROFESSIONAL, COMPETENT MANNER

"The Team represented us in our purchase of a home in Del Mar Heights. The first house we saw was in our price range, but required extensive repairs. Instead of saying, "Oh, all you would need to do is....," they said, "Nope. Too much work," and took us to the next house. They care about getting the transaction right for your family. We had a 30-day escrow, and literally every day during that period the Team was doing something on our behalf to ensure that every element of the transaction that needed to happen was happening. If they felt that the loan officer was not being responsive enough, they went to the supervisor. If they did not receive a response to an e-mail, they picked up the phone and called the person. They only work with the best of the best, and their escrow and title representatives all worked in such a professional, competent manner to ensure that we closed on time. We could not have had a better experience. We would recommend the Team enthusiastically and without reservation to anyone who needs to buy or sell a home in San Diego."

-Robb & Mary M. | Buyer

GREAT ATTITUDE

"I highly recommend the Team! We had a great experience working with them in two different activities, a purchase and the sell of a property. The Team has a great attitude, they have great experience with the process, and they are an excellent resource to partner with."

-Buyer

CARING & FRIENDLY

"The Team is a caring, friendly, patient buyer's agent who really helped me find, and then purchase, an excellent property at an excellent price. Their warm, caring attitude really made the process simple, or at least as simple as possible. I would definitely recommend them."

-Melissa L. | Buyer

EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE & PROFESSIONAL

"After coming back from a six month deployment in the Spring of 2015, I decided that I would begin looking for my first home. I was referred to the Team by a family member and it was the best possible decision I could have made as a first time home buyer. Navigating the lengthy VA home buying process can be difficult for any potential purchaser, especially a first time home buyer. The Team couldn't have made the entire process any easier for me. They were extremely knowledgeable and professional at every step of the process, and made it almost effortless on my part. The Team showed me a wide range of homes so that I could be informed and make the right decision on a home that I loved. Anytime there was a bump in the road, whether it had to do with the realtor side or not, they were always there to fix the problem and make sure the process went smoothly. Day or night, weekends or holidays, the Team was always available to answer one of the ten thousand questions I had during our three month home buying process. Coming back from a deployment, my schedule was very hectic but they were more than happy to work around my schedule. The Team surpassed my expectations by going above and beyond and bending over backwards to make sure I was happy. I cannot say enough about the outstanding job that the Team did from start to finish."

-Buyer

WOULD NOT HESITATE TO WORK WITH HER AGAIN

"The Team was fantastic to work with and I would not hesitate to work with them again. The entire process was made much simpler with their knowledge and expertise. I would recommend them to a friend (and I already have)!"

-Buyer

HONEST HARD WORKER

-Seller in Del Mar Heights

CONSTANT SUPPORT

"We would not be in our fantastic new home without their hard work and constant support. We have never had agents who were as dedicated and wise as the Team. Thank You!!"

-Scott G. | Buyer

HIRE ANGELA

"Hire the Team, you will be SO glad you did! The Team sold our home in La Jolla for $45,000 more than 4 other agents said we could get. And it sold in 2 weeks!! I 100% attribute the high sale price to their beautiful marketing, hard work and negotiating skills. The professional pictures of our home were well staged and had beautiful lighting. The home was timely advertised to maximize traffic at the open houses. During negations the Team diligently sured up alternate offers to maximize our sale price and strengthen our negotiating position. Once in escrow the Team worked HARD to close the deal, doing both their job and that of the buyer's agent (who was inexperienced and unprofessional.) The Team even managed the contractors needed to fix-up a few things so I could go on vacation during the escrow. The Team's professionalism, hard work and industry knowledge make them amazing agents. Really, you should hire them!!"

-Seller in La Jolla

VERY EXPERIENCED

"The Team listed and sold my house in Carmel Valley within a couple days! They helped me stage and decorate to emphasize the best of the house. They are very experienced, and kept me updated regularly. I received an offer about $20K more than I expected... They're skilled at handling the buyers' requests as well as balancing the terms of the seller. I highly recommend them if anyone needs a real estate agent."

-John K. | Seller
