Testimonials

"Galina is a Rockstar, everything you need in a realtor when searching for your next home or trying to get a top dollar for your property at a sale! She is very professional, charismatic, always available and responsive, and all around a great human being with strong integrity and work ethics. The process seemed easy when we had a professional like her helping us on the way. Even in a difficult COVID-19 environment, she made a transaction go very smooth and we closed in 22 days. Will gladly work with her again and highly recommend! We are very happy we chose Galina to help us [with] buying our first home and a home of our dreams. Thank you! You are the best!"

"Galina went above and beyond when helping us find our perfect house and keeping all t's crossed and all i's dotted while we were in the transaction. We had limited time to look at properties but Galina was still able to book showings quickly with our preferences in mind.

We ended up looking at about 15 properties in 6 days until we found the perfect place. We also had a seamless and quick close process even during the COVID times. I would highly recommend Galina to anyone looking to purchase a home of their dreams."

"Thank you so much for helping me find a perfect place that I can now call 'home sweet home.' It was a roller coaster ride indeed, but in the end, you helped me find a place worth all the obstacles we had to go through. Thank you for guiding me on certain decisions concerning the value of a property compared to others around it and whether it was worth even spending time on. You jumped through hoops to make sure I wasn't getting the short end of the stick when it came to bargaining with the other side. You made sure I was happy with every decision made when it came to closing the deal. You stood ground always defending my side when it came to negotiating. And when we finally closed the deal, you made sure I was pampered with a nice celebration, thank you. I appreciate all that you've done for me. I wish you the best and am glad that I've had the great opportunity of working with you. Thank you and best wishes!"

"We were new to home buying. And, we have heard many stories from friends and other people about terrible agents. Galina Shekhtman was professional and personal! She never made us feel uncomfortable and helped us every step of the way! Galina explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from the making the offer, to working with the mortgage banker and the coop board. This made it really easy to move into our new home in Escondido, San Diego County in less than 3 months! Escrow, including mortgage approval and paperwork, took just 18 days! We highly recommend her as your agent in today’s turbulent real estate market!"

"I have used Galina’s services and was impressed with her timely communication, showing up when needed, sound advice and direct opinions. She always went an extra mile for us and we will definitely come back to her when buying our next home. I can highly recommend Galina as a Real Estate Agent."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Galina when she helped us buy our home in Rancho Bernardo. I can't possibly say enough good things about working with her. She was nothing short of amazing.We bought our house in the middle of a pandemic and the process was a complete breeze. She was always attentive to our questions and concerns, eager to provide input when we were being indecisive, unafraid to course-correct when we were making decisions that wouldn't serve us in the long-run, and encouraging when we started getting frazzled.
Bottom line: If you are looking for an agent to help you buy or sell and want a true dynamo in the field, CALL GALINA."

"Galina is super-adaptive to the crazy nowadays market, helping us to get [the] best price for our house as [the] situation is quickly changing. She is super-inventive in the challenging business of making the buyer's offer really solid and securing seller's attention.(That is how we got our new house we really like) What would we do differently? The lender she suggested was instrumental for us to win, and we realized that after several unsuccessful bids with another lender. Do not make the same mistake!"

"I am really glad we found Galina and chose her to help us find a condo. In these difficult times with seller's market and many offers coming in just a single day, we were ready for a lengthy process. But we were lucky to have Galina helping us so that our first offer was accepted! Although we had to negotiate, the process was quite quick and we felt confident that everything [would] be taken care for. Galina was very professional, responsive, answered text and email messages very promptly and was making every effort to negotiate the best price! We highly recommend Galina Shekhtman as a great real estate agent and simply a wonderful person with great personality, which makes the entire process much less stressful. Thumbs up!!
