What Our Clients Say About Us

  • Jonna and Matt were amazing throughout the entire buying process. They were very helpful and readily available as we looked through a variety of homes to find what we were looking for. It was my first home purchase and their experience and expertise was huge. They did a good job of managing our expectations during negotiations while still ensuring we got a great deal on the home we wanted. They were great about explaining all of the paperwork and keeping everyone on track throughout escrow. We really enjoyed working with Jonna and Matt and would highly recommend them!

    Scott & Lisette

  • Relocating to the US from the UK was always going to to be a challenge let alone finding the right house in San Diego. This daunting task was made simple working with Farland Realty. Jonna understood exactly what we were looking for straight away - the ideal house in the right location for schools in a great child friendly neighborhood. Nothing was ever too much hassle and Matt and Jonna were a perfect team mixing market knowledge with honest feedback along the way. Matt and Jonna also have a great have understanding of the financials needed to get an offer accepted. We completed in 20 days. We could not recommend them higher.

    David & Jodie

  • We used Matt as our Agent to purchase an Investment property. Matt helped us through the whole process from start to finish. From Investment analyses, advice on properties, market conditions, property showings, loan details, and the escrow process. Matt's communication was timely and effective. He made sure that nothing was missed in the escrow process and everything was running according to plan. We felt that Matt went above and beyond his Agent responsibilities. We highly recommend Farland Realty for any real estate transaction.

    Kody and Kelly

  • Jonna was instrumental in our downtown condo sale! She advised us on improvements to be made to get our 10 year old investment property ready for sale. She guided us on what buyers would be looking for and helped us stage it without any added cost to us. The property showed beautifully and within a week we had multiple offers! She negotiated for us and we closed in 18 days. It couldn't have been easier! We are grateful for the guidance, professionalism and real estate expertise that Jonna exhibited. We will definitely work with her again and recommend her highly to everyone we know looking for an agent!

    Ben and Lisa B.

  • Thank you, Jonna and Matt for all of your help, perseverance and guidance in navigating the ups and downs of searching for and buying our home. We could not have done it without you guys! True professionals and just great people!

    Ryan and Julie

  • Matt and Jonna exceeded our expectations by providing a level of service above and beyond anything we had hoped for. They continued to support and guide us through the entire process of a difficult escrow. They made us feel more like friends than clients.

    Jean

  • Matt and Jonna helped my wife and I find our home in Rancho Penasquitos. Jonna was extremely attentive to our needs and showed us only houses that fit our criteria. When we did choose a house both Matt and Jonna were with us every step of the way and when we needed to address issues with the seller about the house, they took care of everything for us. I would recommend this team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

    Jeremy D.

  • We recently went through our first real estate transaction with Farland Realty. We are so grateful we had Jonna to guide us through this process. We had a very specific idea of the house we wanted and where we wanted it to be. She found us exactly what we were looking for…and fast! One of the many areas where Jonna excelled was in negotiating with the sellers. We really felt like she was a tremendous advocate for us and went above and beyond to get us where we wanted to be. We were thrilled to have Jonna as our agent and look forward to working with her and Matt on future investment properties.

    Chris & Jolie

  • Jonna has guided me through the real estate process on two occasions now, and I simply cannot recommend her highly enough. She made the entire process straightforward, was on top of every detail every step of the way, gave me the heads up on what to expect, was timely, honest, patient, thoughtful and extremely personable. I simply couldn't imagine a better person to work with!

    Cassi H.

  • I retained Jonna to help purchase a home for me and my family. I have worked with real estate agents several times, both purchasing and selling property. However, my experience with Jonna was far and away the most pleasurable. Jonna listened to my needs, and took control of the home buying process, interfacing with the seller's agent, loan broker, escrow officer and inspectors, to make the process as smooth as possible for me. Even though Jonna is based in San Diego, she helped me to purchase a home in San Clemente, and expertly familiarized herself with the south Orange County real estate market, so that I never felt disadvantaged by having retained an "out of town" agent.

    Kody D.

  • Jonna was amazing to work with. She is so easy going and always puts the customer first. We found our home in a short amount of time and closed just as quickly. I would work with Jonna again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

    Rachel V.

  • I've said it before but I'll say it again... It was a wonderful experience having you as our agent and I would and will recommend you as an agent anytime!” - Beth E. "Thanks again for a great transaction....you do the best job of following up of any agent I have worked with over the past few years which makes the whole process go so much smoother.

    Dawn B.

  • Buying a home can be an overwhelming process and Jonna made things run very smoothly: communicated in a timely manner, gave us sound advice, and was very knowledgeable. She is very personable and makes it a priority to spend a significant amount of time finding a home that matches your "wish list." Her friendly disposition and positive outlook make working with her a very wonderful experience!!

    For Our Investors

Answers to questions we are often asked.

  • The best "first step" is to contact a good lender to get pre-approved. That way you will know what your true buying power is. Additionally, when it comes time to place an offer you will need to submit your pre-approval letter with the offer so it's good to have the approval completed in case your dream house comes on the market and you need to move quickly. If you need a referral to a lender, just ask us.

  • Call us! We will set up a time to come and look at your house and determine what the current market value is. We will show you comparable homes that have sold near you and assist you in determining what price to list it at. We will also give you estimates of what the costs are to sell. Also, please be assured, this is a no obligation visit.

  • Absolutely. A home inspection is your chance to have an expert look at the "bones" of the house. In today's market with flippers everywhere this is especially important. A house could have recently been updated with all new flooring, paint and fixtures, but underneath all that glitter is an shaky foundation, leaking pipes or an old roof. While it's important to realize that there are likely going to be some problems with any home you purchase, you want to know what those problems are, as well as make sure there are not too many issues for your budget.
