I listed my mother's home for sale through Mez Espiritu. This was a painless experience from beginning to end. The communication from Mez was exceptional without question. This was my second time using this agency and will most certainly contact them with any future transactions. 5 star agency for sure.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Barry is very knowledgeable about the real estate game. We meet in his office for a one on one to discuss what I was looking for and when I was looking to buy. He accommodated my unique search timeline and gave me some valuable information and tools to aid in my search. If I'm ever in the market again I will call on him.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Nikki Wright was the agent that I worked with. She was knowledgeable, professional and understanding. We worked with her for almost six months and although there were some stressful times (none of which reflected on Nikki) we couldn't be happier to have a beautiful home in the Country. We were very lucky to have had the opportunity to be her first clients and we wish her continued success in the future.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
My husband and I were absolutely amazed with the level of support we received from our agent. As first-time buyers we really had no clue what we were up against. Rachel Lewis made herself available to us 24/7, if we had questions she had answers, if we had a problem she found solutions. She literally worked day and night to help us obtain our goal. We found our dream home and completed closing in less than 30 days! Truly an awesome experience. Thank you so much!
My wife and I attempted to sell our home in the spring/summer of 2017. We did our best with due diligence of all of the potential agents/agencies and reviewing all of the lessons learned from the web. We finally did 3 in-home interviews and chose an agent ‘we thought’ would work for us. We were so terribly wrong. We signed a 4-month contract and the house did not sell. We experienced all the nightmares one could experience. Luckily we had no urgent need to relocate and decided to wait until 2018 to sell. Once again we reviewed all of the agents & agencies and decided on listing with Barry Jenkins & Rachel Lewis of Better Homes & Gardens. As soon as they entered our house the difference between them and other agents was so dramatically different we knew immediately will would list and sell with them. They noticed even small items during their walk-thru that others never saw. During our sit-down discussions, we knew immediately they were heads and shoulders above all other agents. I related interviewing real estate agents in many respects to buying a car; they all seem to be ‘cloned’ - they all have the same spiel. I know anyone reading my review can totally relate to this and how does one make a good choice when everyone is cloned? Enter Barry Jenkins & Rachel Lewis: huge difference between them and all of the others. Their assessment of our home was ‘spot on’. Unlike other agents whose so called marketing strategy was to list a home on the Internet and cross their fingers, Barry & Rachel laid out a comprehensive marketing strategy that was both innovative and common sense in its approach. 1St was to get the house appraised (Barry paid for this), 2nd was to take ‘high-definition’ (very impressive) photos of the house (previous photos of our house were with a hand-held camera with standard definition), 3rd was to have a 3-D “Matterport” movie of our home. The yard sign held flyers listing selling points of the home but a 2nd flyer was made available to potential buyers during a showing that had photos and other selling points. This was SO VERY IMPORTANT. All real estate agents list homes on the MLS but what sells the house is “Marketing Marketing Marketing”. With the results of the appraisal back, we decided to list the house $100.00 below the assessed value. Of course we all want a million dollars for our home but we do have to be realistic. Our home sold in days instead of being on the market for months or not selling at all. Barry Jenkins has a superb team that will sell your home: photographer, Matterport videographer, office support personnel, and even the paralegal who handled all of the closing documents. My wife and I are 1,000 % satisfied and give Barry and Rachel 10-stars in a 5-star rating system. Everyone on his team was always responsive and professional. Barry & his team should be rated #1 in the nation.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

The home purchasing process is overwhelming to say the least. My agent, Donna Gray, made the process as painless as possible. She was very responsive to any and all questions I had along the way.

We used Taylor when relocating to Dallas from Illinois. From our initial phone call with her and even after closing- she was wonderful to work with. She was always responsive and took initiative after we were under contract to get things done with the buyer’s agent. After an in-person home search was unsuccessful, Taylor helped us find the perfect home from a distance and took care of things on the ground in Dallas when we could not be physically present. We enjoyed working with Taylor and would 10/10 recommend her!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Taylor was wonderful! She was always available and flexible to show us houses. She was very timely and helpful when we put offers in. She gave great advice but didn't pressure us. When we bought our house, she was able to get us more money from the sellers for various repairs. She worked well with the lenders and selling agents. She was patient with our questions and very knowledgeable. And at the end she even gave us a gift bag with personalized items for our new home. We will definitely work with Taylor the next time we want to buy a home and could not recommend her highly enough!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]

Kimberly and her team are the best of the best. She just sold a home for me in a matter of days for hundreds of thousands over asking price. While that is impressive, that does not begin to describe how good she is. I have bought and sold many homes over the years and I have never had an agent handle every aspect of the sale as professionally as she did. It was hands down the smoothest sale and close I have ever had. Because I was an out of town seller, I did not know where to turn for a good agent, so as you are doing, I went online. How lucky I was to find Kimberly!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
If I could give more than five stars on my review, I absolutely would! 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, especially her assistant Normalynn. 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 you want to sell your house, the only choice for a realtor in my mind is Kimberly! 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.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
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. And this was early in her real estate career!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.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
I worked with Jeff Hinds from Kimberly Schmidt & Associates (Compass) to sell my condo. My condo unit was unique in a sense that it was for a specific buyer pool, such as it's a high rise construction, high HOA fee, down town location, etc. I was super happy with Jeff's knowledge in real estate market. From staging, all the way to the closing process, his 17+ years of experience helped every single step of the way so seamless and smoothly. He was always on top of things in close communication with me and potential buyers. I know I would not have been able to sell my condo without Jeff's help and guidance. I recommend Jeff to anyone in the real estate market for selling or buying.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
My husband and I relocated from San Francisco to San Diego. We called the office and were connected with our wonderful realtor Jeff Hinds. He guided us through the process and helped us to get our first home! He worked with our schedule so that we could see a lot of homes when we had availability. He also guided us through where to look. I'm so thankful he did this. We ended up finding our dream home in a neighborhood that we didn't know we'd love. Jeff's deep knowledge of San Diego was invaluable to us. It also great to have him in such a crazy and competitive market; he knows how to hustle. I cannot recommend Jeff highly enough!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
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!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
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 ended up setting the high-mark for our building (to date) with our sale. 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!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Kimberly helped me sell my condo in San Diego & I couldn’t have been more pleased with the way things went. I highly recommend her.She was there with me every step of the way. If you have a question (which I had many) she is easy to reach, as she actually answers her phone (rare nowadays). And if she says she’s going to do something, it gets done.As you go through the selling process, there are several important decisions to be made. Things like selling price, whether to do fix-up prior to the sale, whether to accept a particular bid, etc - all these decisions of course will influence how quick you sell & how much profit you make. That’s where you want an expererienced agent like Kimberly on your side. Her advise on all decisions turned out to be absolutely correct.… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
Kimberly Schmidt made my first home-selling experience very easy! She was knowledgeable about my neighborhood and guided me to select a fair listing price. Kimberly was always responsive to my calls, texts, and emails. She made recommendations on what to improve/change on my house and her expertise paid off! One of Kimberly's many strengths is her network of agents. My home had multiple offers without even listing the property and sold for 110% of asking price. I highly recommend Kimberly and her team for any real estate transactions!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
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!… [Read full reviews on Zillow]
