Testimonials

We were fortunate to be represented by Tess both as a buyer's agent in 2005 and as a seller's agent in 2010. Tess was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We really appreciated her taking the time to really getting to know us and our specific needs. She helped us feel at ease as first time homebuyers. When we had to sell our townhouse due to job relocation, Tess went above and beyond to help us sell in a dismal San Diego real estate market. Her persistence, knowledge and experience helped us sell our house so that we could relocate. We have recommended her to our friends who had similar experiences with her and would highly recommend her to anyone needing representation buying or selling a home.

Our San Diego property would not have sold without your excellent strategies combined with you extreme patience, perserverance, and attention to detail and excellent people skills. It is not often we get to meet professionals like you, who are definitely a cut above the rest.....we would not hesitate for a moment in recommending your services to our friends or anyone who may be looking to sell or purchase a property. Tess you are the "Real Estate Consultant for Life."

Roel & Cecille, Temecula, CA

After over a year of searching for a home, we found Tess. She was professional, easy to talk to, and did her best to meet us at our covenience. She successfully guided us through the maze of the buying process, and answered our innumerable questions with the utmost patience and professionalism. Her follow-thru was excellent. When our soon to be married daughter and her husband begin looking for a home, we will recommend Tess as their broker, and will trust Tess to give them the same excellent service she gave us.

Tess helped my husband and I buy a short sale home in Escondido. She knows the business and she is a true partner. In a professional manner, she pays attention to all those details which can make buying a home a sticky operation. One of her best qualities is listening to exactly what we want and answering all our questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a kind, considerate, and professional realtor.

We live in Sacramento and had heard about Tess from relatives and friends who had real estate dealings with her in the San Diego area. I contacted her to assist me to purchase a condo/townhome. Tess was very prompt and consistent in providing me with info on a lot of possible properties. She was very honest in providing both good and no-so-good features for the the properties we were interested in. We flew in at least twice and she made sure that we got to visit the most promising properties during our short visits to San Diego. We are extremely happy with our townhome purchase. She also worked with our lender so that there were no issues during the loan processing. She even referred us to local contractors who did outstanding remodeling work. She is very knowledgeable and a true professional. I have already recommended her to friends who are also thinking of purchasing in the San Diego area.

Clifford & Monette, Sacramento, CA

Tess was recommended to us via a listing agent from a bank owned property. Tess listened to our wants and needs. She knows houses. We wanted to buy a fixer so she took us to reasonable fixers, houses with "great bones". She knew the house we finally got was a diamond in the rough. We didn't even see the view when we first looked at the house, but when we were looking at comparable properties she reminded us that there was a great view. We had a tough time getting this house. Tess knew the listing agent and kept in touch with her. We ended up getting the house for less than what we were willing to pay. If it hadn't been for Tess, we would still be stuck in an apartment with loud neighbors instead of watching a gorgeous sunset every night from the sofa with not a neighbor in sight. Thank you Tess for our little piece of heaven!

Carla & Jeff, Valley Center, CA

We contacted Tess at the recommendation of a friend to help us purchase an investment property. Our search strategy changed during our search, but one thing was constant was Tess' knowledge of the real estate market. She was always armed with detailed information for all properties we looked at. She was very responsive (always a phone call away) and patient. She always allowed us the time to make our own decisions. She never pushed us into a commitment. We ended up purchasing a short sale. There were complicated terms that would have overwhelmed an inexperienced agent. Things that needed closure up to handing the keys to us were not trivial because items were taken away from the property by the sellers after the close. She was there to handle everything to ensure that we had peace of mind. We would recommend Tess to our friends, co-workers or any acquaintances for their real estate needs. We feel confident that she can deliver the services at the highest standards.

InSuk & Francois, San Marcos, CA

We chose Tess to help us buy our home, at random. We found her website to be one of the best laid out on the web. After contacting her she became very involved in showing us homes and sending us new listings via her website. She answered all our questions and was very helpful in the buying process. When we chose our house she went right to work negotiating for us and was very knowledgeable in the workings of buying and selling a house. I would recommend Tess Garcia to anyone looking to sell or buy a new home.

Pat & Kathy, Valley Center, CA

Tess sold our condo in Mira Mesa in 6 days! Being from out of state, we thought selling our investment property was going to be full of problems...well what a surprise! Tess handled everything, all we had to do was sign!....

T. Light, Cantonment, FL

We have listed our investment property with House to Home and found the weekly updates to be very helpful. We have adjusted our marketing strategies midstream, and Tess has always looked out for our best interest every step of the way. She has good market knowledge and has good input on how to take advantage of this seller's market....

R.Garcia, M.D., La Jolla, CA

Tess is currently our agent for our condo in Escondido. It is a hard property to sell because we have tenants in the property....but she is always available to meet buyers and agents at the property to assure that our tenants and their belongings are protected. She understood it would be a heavy financial burden to sell the property vacant, so she found a way to do it.

M. Soriano, Escondido, CA

Tess has just found us a wonderful starter home! Being a single mom, it was difficult to find something I could afford, but she was able to get me 100% financing. It's a beautiful 3 bedroom condo with brand-new everything, and most importantly, located in a safe and promising area. She has absolute dedication to her clients' needs.
