Tommy was amazing to work with! As a first time home buyer, there's a lot of mystery and fear in the process and I always felt comfortable consulting Tommy for his knowledge and expertise. He was always responsive, and very proactive in helping me view and understand properties and their values. I truly appreciated working with him.
by Jacob NguyenKalinka did a great job helping us to buy a house. Her market knowledge and negotiation skills are perfect. We moved about an year and a half ago and still thankful for everything she had done for us. I would not recommend any another realtor!
by Valued ClientI'm an investor, have bought and sold many times and think Kim is one of the best agents I've come across in a long time. Kim is born and raised in La Jolla to have deep knowledge of the SD market along with good relationships with many other agents. Kim has more than helped me with a difficult purchase. She knocked off one obstacle after another like a true pro. Best of all is her superb negotiating skills. If you're looking to buy or sell, Kim is the one to call.
by Valued ClientTommy is much more than your usual Realtor. He is more of your Financial Advisor and a mentor who guides his client so well in all aspects. He encourages you so much even if you feel cold footed in the process. From Start to Finish, and even after the process, he would still be there for you as an Advisor. He is such an intelligent person and the best of the best in his field. I have already told Tommy that you will be first person whom I will reach out if I will decide to sell my house and/or buy another property.
by Shahzaib ArshadKim is FIVE STAR all the way! She has given us the benefit not only of her real estate experience over the years, but found us tenants, structured a complex sale to one of our renters, managed a short deadline 1031 exchange and arranged handymen, HVAC specialists and licensed professionals, all with a smile and a happy "can do" approach to even the most difficult task. We have known Kim over 10 years, bought and sold 3 personal homes through her, and recommend her for ALL real estate transactions and consultations, as our own "go to first" expert. Thank you, Kim, for again being a wizard with our 1031 exchange in University City and Serra Mesa.
by Robert and MargaretBillionaires Row was absolutely fabulous - outstanding by all metrics. Professional, well organized, diligent, competent, and above all, honest, fair, and ethical in their dealings. Their team was a delight to work with – patient, detailed, and diplomatic. The Ads were well crafted, pictures showcasing our home were excellent, and logistics well planned. Their stager was expert and efficient. The furniture, rugs, and household items aesthetically pleasing, color coordinated, and thematically consistent throughout the house. We were most pleased with both the listing process as well as the outcome. We realized significantly more revenue than we had originally hoped. Negotiations with potential buyers were deftly and skillfully managed. Kudos to Gregg Whitney and his entire team!
by D. BenderKalinka listed and sold my condo. Over the years I have bought and sold many properties. Kalinka is by far the best agent I have ever worked with. Her skills are impressive. She is honest, responsive, prompt, resourceful, and a great negotiator.
by LalehKalinka, is very attentive to each client and their interests! We loved working with her — in real estate transactions timeliness and constant communication is very important. We felt 100% protected as buyers and not rushed.
by Julia MinsterTommy is the best agent ever. Tommy answered all the questions and make the purchase so smooth and fast. He listen to what we needs and found the perfect house for us. Beside that the entire team lead by Gregg Whitney were so nice and helpful! Thank you guys and thank you Tommy
by AviraKalinka is a truly outstanding agent. She is honest, responsive, knowledgeable, an excellent negotiator. She helps in all aspects of buying or selling the house. I am very satisfied with her work in this highly competitive market.
by Dmitry KryndushkinMy husband and I purchased our first home in La Jolla and we couldn't have done it without Kim. As first-time home buyers, we relied on Kim's expertise to close the deal in today's highly competitive market and I cannot recommend her as a partner enough.
by Maliena GuyMy wife and I have used Billionaires Row and their team for a number of sales and purchases for over 22 years. Each time they have provided personal, friendly, and competent service which is why they are our choice for real estate transactions. Our most recent transaction closed just days ago and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend them for your real estate needs.
by Gordon GlennKalinka knows how to get the best selling price for sellers and to keep the sale on track. On the buying side, she understands her competition and knows how to close the deal, as she is very persuasive!
by M. ShepardWe were lucky enough to meet Tommy through Zillow. He was the agent selected to handle our showing. When we first arrived to the house, he was already there with the sellers agent. He had all the information and was very informed in regards to the property. During our showing, he was open and honest and made us feel so comfortable. After our showing, we decided to move forward with an offer and chose to work with Tommy because of how comfortable we were. Trust me when I say I AM SO THANKFUL we did. We were first time buyers, Tommy walked us through everything and spent long hours explaining all the realtor terms. He was readily available and even supported us while we were in escrow and abroad! Throughout everything, his positive attitude was incredible. One of my favorite moments of the whole experience was the day we got our offer accepted. Tommy called to tell us the news and he ended the conversation with, “take a breath, I got it from here, go enjoy your evening of celebration. All I want you to do tonight is sit on the couch with your husband and hold each other’s hand. Congrats on your soon to be new home”. I would encourage any new home buyers or any one looking for a realtor to reach out to Tommy!
by Greta HuschleTommy is a consummate professional. We have purchased many homes over the years but were in a new market with incredibly fast-moving timelines so his responsiveness was invaluable. His relationships with other brokers and network of service pros was also helpful in getting things done post inspection and sale. Highly recommend!
by Karen NardWe had tremendous experience working with Kalinka on purchasing our first-ever home. She truly values her clients and makes sure we come as winners in a deal, rather than her making extra compensation. Kalinka definitely put our interest first. Already recommended her to friends and acquaintances, and highly recommend to anyone. It was a great pleasure to work with her.
by Valued ClientSelling or buying house can't be worry-free but could be much easier if you do it with Kalinka. Super attentive and goal-oriented professional who will exceed your expectations. She is not only about doing her job good but also provides the best level of service and extra support. Much appreciate her efforts and happy with our results!
by Elena PopovaProfessional, knowledgeable and prompt. Within 24 hours of contacting Kalinka our home was placed for sale on MLS with professionally taken pictures and video and two days later we accepted an offer and our home was in escrow well over asking price!
by Sohil KarimyVery professional and pleasant to work with! Kalinka provided trustworthy assistance and guided me through the finding, negotiations, and purchasing of my beautiful “forever home” for my son and me. I am so grateful for her calm demeanor and positive support!
by Debbie LundyMy husband and I met Gregg as he was the listing agent on a property we went to see in Bird Rock. At that time we had just sold our townhouse in La Jolla Shores and we were looking to buy a condo, but we didn’t have a buyer’s agent. After spending time with Gregg during that home tour, we asked him to be our agent. He was so professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of the condo and the area after having lived and worked in La Jolla for over 30 years. Gregg ended up working with us over the course of 2 months as we continued searching for our new home. During this time he was always responsive and communicative. We finally found the perfect place for us while we were visiting family out of state, and Gregg showed us the property virtually. He sent an inspection team in and found a few repairs that needed to be made before the purchase, and Gregg coordinated all of it for us. We found him to be honest and generous with his time, always looking out for our best interest. That is what was so unique about him. We LOVE our new place, but we are going to remodel/update and use Gregg as our general contractor because we learned during this process that Gregg’s expertise extends to engineering and design. Over the years we’ve had several good realtors, but Gregg tops them all. His office staff at Billionaire’s Row was also responsive and caring about all of our needs. We HIGHLY recommend Gregg Whitney and his company Billionaire’s Row in La Jolla.
by Parker ZangoeiGregg, Theresa, and Cassidy are an amazing team. Gregg is a creative problem solver who works day and night to bring your purchase/sale to a successful conclusion. We had a very complex transaction, buying a property in La Jolla during lockdown from London, involving different currencies, assets in the UK and US, and an 8-hour time difference. Gregg and the team were on the ground in La Jolla, troubleshooting the inevitable challenges that arose with different parties involved in the transaction, which we were unable to address in person. Gregg became extremely knowledgeable about us as buyers, and used that knowledge to get us our ideal property. He is the single best real estate agent I've worked with in 25 years of buying and selling property.
by Peter RobbinsMy experience with Gregg was outstanding. I contacted him as I started to look into buying a property in La Jolla (first time home owner). I had no previous experience on real estate and his help and guidance made the search, negotiation and closure very smoothly and pleasant. He was very patient at explaining me every single step of the process making sure I was feeling comfortable and safe. I was impressed with his negotiation skills, even during the very competitive scenario we currently are. He was also interested on making sure we found the right property to meet my needs, always considering my budget. He has an amazing staff that, same as him, is always available for showings or answering questions. I highly recommend him and his agency!
by Maria ProettoI went through a couple real estate agents before I found Natalie and am extremely fortunate to have had her as my agent. It was clear right away Natalie has an in-depth knowledge of the real estate market/inventory, is extremely responsive & punctual, cares deeply for the success & happiness of her clients, and has a complete understanding of the buying/selling process from start to finish. In fact much more so than previous agents I have talked to! She guided me through a very complicated/non-routine purchase of my dream condominium. I truly don’t believe I would have got the property with any other real estate agent. I highly recommend her as a real estate agent and will definitely be reaching out to her for any future real estate transaction I get involved in!
by Valued ClientKalinka was absolutely amazing. When it came time to sell our condo and hire a Real Estate Professional, Kalinka was referred to us by our HOA President, which says a lot about her character and reputation in the community. Even though our property may have been on the lower end of the price spectrum that she normally handles, we felt as though we were her only clients. My wife and I wanted to keep the process as simple as possible, as we were mourning the loss of a loved one. Kalinka did exactly that, she just made the whole process easy. She kept us informed without overwhelming us. Kalinka's motto of "Authenticity, Honesty, Transparency, and Trust above all!" is something she prides herself on and held true throughout. Kalinka has our business forever. If you are reading this and are contemplating a Real Estate Professional, look no further. Kalinka will work hard for you and will not disappoint
by Bob FarettaThis review is based on my first transaction with Kalinka, but know she is going to be my agent for all the future purchases. She was there holding my hand through the whole process, from narrowing down my options and selecting the best property to purchase, to successfully closing the transaction in less than 25 days. The amount of details that we had to go through was overwhelming, but Kalinka made it very easy for me by successfully navigating through all of the challenges with my best interest in mind. You will not be able to find a better real estate agent.
by Sana GossKalinka was a fantastic resource and represented us as the buyer's agent in the purchase of our home. She has an acute knowledge of the San Diego coastal real estate market, which helped us act fast when putting in an offer on our dream home. During escrow, Kalinka seamlessly facilitated all communications so we were never in the dark, and I could tell that she prioritized all of her clients. This is not the first time we've used Kalinka, and I would recommend her again & again.
by Alana BraunsteinKalinka was a pro through and through. She guided us through many property listings and showings. She was very knowledgeable in every aspect of the home buying process and provided numerous referrals for loans, property inspectors and contractors. She was also very responsive and could be counted on to keep in frequent communication. She ended up having to negotiate our house with a really tough seller in an incredibly difficult market. Thanks to her we have our beautiful home in our preferred neighborhood. I am grateful for all the effort and work she put into working with us and I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone trying to buy a home.
by Lang SchwartzwaldKim was patient and focused throughout our condo buying process. She didn't steer us in any one direction, but rather let us discover the market and what we could purchase in our price range. She was responsive, always available and helpful. As transplants to San Diego, it was reassuring to work with her and benefit from her local knowledge.
by Bailey WolffI would really set more stars than it allows in Zillow. Kalinka is amazing! She supported us on each step of the transaction and she has a great team. Our lender and construction manager and Kalinka worked as one team and it made our purchase super smooth! We had to move out closing date a week further because of the seller and Kalinka was fighting for us till the end. She showed the interest that we don't want to loose our money because we also set a move out date for the place where we were renting and at the end we did not loose any money. Saying more because of that - Kalinka added $1000 to our closing costs. Super professional and pleasure working with! I recommend 100%. We found Kalinka by the reference from our very good friends and I personally was super surprised and recommend her to all my friends. Super nice person and great professional real estate agent!
