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!!

"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."

I would like to thank you for your assistance during my recent purchase of a residential lot in Rancho Bernardo (Bernardo Trails). Your level of support and diligence throughout the process was extraordinary.

I have been looking for some time to find just the perfect lot to build my dream home on and nothing suitable was available. You patiently searched for a property that would meet my demanding needs. When something became available exactly in the area that I desired you immediately brought it to my attention. When I saw [the] property I immediately [knew] it was the place for me. With your guidance we quickly negotiated with the seller and processed the escrow with almost no effort on my part. Your attention to detail allowed me to complete this transaction smoothly and quickly without any of the headaches I had experienced with prior real-estate transactions. And as you know, I have purchased numerous residential and commercial properties and this transaction, greatly due to your efforts, was the easiest I have experienced.

If at any time, you have a customer that would like a reference on your abilities, please feel free to have them contact me and I would be more than pleased to tell them about your outstanding service.

Buying a home with Galina was an amazing experience! She went above and beyond in helping us find our dream home while in a seller’s market. We found many [homes] that we liked and she very promptly provided us with comps on those properties. Galina gave us excellent guidance on the 10+ offers we submitted and prepared & sent the offers very quickly. Because of her hard work, [one] of our offers was accepted and we love our new home! I would highly recommend Galina to anyone looking for a Real Estate agent!

I’m so excited to write a review for such an awesome agent and her team! She’s exactly what you would wish for when making the biggest purchase of your life. She knows the business, knows the ins and outs of the San Diego market, someone to rely on to help you navigate your way through your purchase, and she fights for you! She’s great at explaining the process and is available for all your questions and concerns.

I could not have been more pleased... Galina was excellent to work with! Her communication is immediate, she is extremely well-versed in real estate practice, and she answered all my questions. This was the first house I sold, and I feel fortunate that I worked with Galina Shekhtman. I will continue to use her for all my future buying and selling needs.

I worked with many Real Estate agents, and Galina definitely is one of the best! Her expertise, professionalism, and knowledge of the real estate market is impressive. We live in WA, and needed to sell a house in San Diego, CA. She was there for us on every step of the process - preparing property for sale, cleaning, repair, staging, negotiating, working with escrow, title, inspector and appraiser. We've got 16 offers in less than a week! She helped us to prepare all documents and close a week earlier than [the] initial closing day, and even without us flying to San Diego. If you are looking for [an] experienced and resourceful agent, Galina is the best choice for everybody who wants to buy or sell property in or around San Diego.

My extended gratitude to Galina! Selling a home is beyond stressful, with Galina's help and recommendations we were able to sell at a higher asking price. Even after falling out of escrow multiple times and taking longer than expected, Galina guided us every step of the way making this transaction as smooth as possible. Leaving us feeling very confident and assured going above and beyond to help us in every way possible as well! You will not find a more skilled listener, better negotiator, and overall patient and knowledgeable real estate agent!

When you start working with the Realtor, first and foremost you check their credentials and pre-qualify them by their professional and personal qualities. To clarify Galina’s professionalism – she is a Five Star Real Estate Agent Award Winner! At the beginning of the sale of our home most frightening was the number of paperwork to be filled out. But with Galina, you will be like in God's hands. Everything will be done to perfection and in a timely manner. You can contact her at any time, and she will be able to help and answer any question you have in a timely manner. What else is very important - Galina is a very calm and positive person. She will illuminate all your phobias, and will write out the entire process step by step. And it all will be under her control. Thank you Galechka we are homeless now; the house has been SOLD! Will recommend your excellent agent and person.
