”I’m a recent client of Gregg Whitney’s. My husband and I had been looking off and on for a house in La Jolla in the $2-2.8M range for about 4 years prior to meeting Gregg. When we met Gregg and Lisa, they seemed to immediately understand the category of homes we were looking for, and they knew every single bit of available inventory, as well as what might be coming onto the market.

He positioned our two Ridgegate homes well, supported by visible advertising. But more importantly, from the moment we put each house onto the market, Gregg’s team jumped into action, putting our homes onto caravan with very little notice, gave us good advice about staging, and brought waves of qualified buyers in to view the properties. We were really impressed. In the end, we sold our two homes within 45-60 days of putting them on the market, while other Ridgegate homes were taking much longer. From a selling price point of view, we did very well compared to market comps.

To be honest, I had not really appreciated all the value that a good realtor can provide in terms of negotiations until we worked with Gregg, and on a very challenging property. Gregg is also a great money guy – meaning he understands the many ways to structure a deal to make it work for both sides. He’s experienced in all kinds of deals, and is comfortable negotiating with the best. He’s worked with loan officers and mortgage bankers directly, and even though we had been working for weeks with a specific mortgage banker recommended to us by our CPA, Gregg noticed that we weren’t getting the best rate and the guy wasn’t moving as fast as he should have been. We switched to a referral by Gregg, saved on the rate and saved the deal, because the timing was really critical to the seller.

Gregg’s got an impressive network of resources – structural engineers, staging experts, handyman, contractors for every need – all people he’s personally worked with and who seem to respond immediately because Gregg called. For about 2.5 months, Gregg did due diligence for us on a property with some slope/retaining wall concerns. At no point did he push us into the transaction; in fact it was my own enthusiasm for the property that caused Gregg to get so deeply involved. Overall, very high integrity from Gregg! He cautioned us throughout. From his own experience in construction, he was able to observe immediately some physical signs and reasons for concern, which only proved out in the subsequent inspections, engineering reports, and disclosures. After expending a significant amount of energy hoping that this property would come out clean, and with Gregg giving us a balanced view of the potential gains and risks, we pulled out of the property. But I have to tell you, throughout Gregg was so patient, and professional. We felt that we were in really good hands throughout. In fact, my husband and I were calling and texting him many times a day, and no matter how busy he was – even while on a family vacation – he always checked in with us on a timely basis and patiently worked with our concerns.

Ultimately, we landed a different home on Folsom, which Gregg found for us as they were reducing their price. He knew the selling agent – of course, he seems to know all the agents active in LJ – and we got this property for an awesome price. This business really is about people, experience and network, and Gregg’s got all that. And I’m sure you’ve noticed, he’s a fun guy to be around. You’ll enjoy working with him. And he’ll serve you well. Please let me know if you have any questions. I’d be happy to talk with you further. I don’t think you’ll find a better agent in La Jolla.”

“Being from the east coast and having worked with a lot of different realtors across the U.S., I can honestly say that Gregg and Lisa are truly top notch. Their personal service and professionalism can’t be beat.”
