"Unsure of where to turn, we turned to a trusted agency, who named Eliot as one of the top Realtors in the area. He turned out to have earned that reputation. Due to our time constraints, Eliot dropped what he was doing and gave us his full attention. Within 72 hours of contact, we were touring homes. In 96 hours, we were making an offer.

"My wife and I were really apprehensive about the entire home buying process, being first time buyers. Eliot made it effortless. From showing us great listings, to being our representative through the whole escrow process as we were not in the area, Eliot looked out for our best interests. He was prompt, quick with answers to our questions and personally invested in our success. I would recommend him to my friends and will certainly come back to him for any future realty needs. Thanks Eliot!" back to top

"Eliot, I just wanted you to know that I think your website is the best real estate website I have seen to date. It is clear, concise, professional, and easy to navigate. I personally hate those sites that require personal data (like name and phone) before you can surf the properties on the market. Don't change a thing! I am saving your site to My Favorites." back to top

"Thank you very much Eliot, for being my real estate agent and helping me sell my house (that I loved and cherished for 18 years), especially since I have never sold a house before. It was a hard decision for me but you were there with your wise advice and friendly attitude...you really put me at ease.
As far as finding the right buyers for my house, I don't know how you did it but it looks to me like magic and is totally wonderful. I think that you function like a catalyst to attract the right people to the right house.
You made me feel that you liked my house since you could see all of the great features that it had to offer, even the ones that I wasn't aware of. Thank you again and keep up the good work!

"I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for all your hard work and
assistance during the probate sale of my mother's house in Carlsbad. You
came to us with numerous recommendations, and we are very appreciative of
your work.
Our house in Carlsbad was built in 1957 and hadn't been upgraded or updated much since that date. You did a very thorough job of market research and convinced us to list the house at, what we thought, was an inflated price. You took the time to share your findings of the marketplace to convince us to go with your recommendation. Throughout this sales effort with us, you were patient, went to lengths to explain your reasoning, and handled each of our questions in a thorough, professional manner.
Your listing price turned out to be a good price - we got our first offer
within 3 days. You then took the time to explain the offer, information on
the buyer, and the likelihood of the sale being funded and completed. You
then left it up to us to accept or reject the offer. Throughout our
decision making process (3 brothers and 1 sister with very different ideas)
you assisted us with more information and helped each of us make a good
decision. You never put any pressure on us to close the deal and I felt
strongly that you would have supported any decision we had made. Your
professionalism and impartiality at this point was very much appreciated - I
know if we had walked away from the 1 offer we would receive, all your hard
work and time invested would have been wasted. Thank you for helping us
with the decision, but not putting any pressure on us to make it!
Your technical skills and research during the probate sale process were
invaluable. You already had a good understanding of the probate process and
what is required of the seller and the buyer, but you did additional
research during the sale closing to make sure that everything was handled
correctly. Your assistance with closing the escrow in 22 days, before we
reached the Christmas break time, was invaluable.
I am a well-known procrastinator, as displayed by how long it has taken me to write these few lines to say thanks. There were only a few things that I needed to do during the escrow period to have everything completed on time.
You very gently, but persistently, kept in touch with me to follow my
progress and offer to help pick up items I dropped. As we got down to the
last days before close of escrow, you talked to me several times a day to
keep me informed of progress and encourage me to complete my few tasks. I
know I must have made a stressful time harder for you, but you continued to
be professional, patient, and helpful throughout the process.
Thank you, Eliot! I now have a real estate professional I can work with in
the future. I also know a real estate professional to recommend to others
who are looking for someone who is professional, patient, and closes!" back to top

"Eliot's efforts eased our cross-country relocation. He previewed properties we viewed on the Internet to speed our purchase of a great, affordable coastal family home. His loan broker helped time our loan closing while still providing us with the best mortgage rate. Eliot even gave us move-in assistance. Now, if we could just win one of his office's contests." back to top
Paul Willey, Rancho Bernardo
"In our search for a condo we received few choices and bad listings until we met Eliot. Then the whole market opened up. We received constant updates and attention throughout the entire process and now own the perfect place for us. Thank you, Eliot -- we believe no one could have done a better job." back to top

"We've bought and sold 6 houses during the last 26 years and have never worked with a more professional, knowledgeable, patient, and persevering Real Estate Agent. Eliot Rachman was truly remarkable and we look forward to working with him again in the future." back to top
