About Doug
I study the market daily, view homes when they come on the market, follow what can be, the overwhelming statistics Real Estate and world events which may have effects on this industry. I do this to help people make the most informed decisions. Since 2002 I have helped 100’s of people with their real estate needs with over $200 Million of closed transactions.
My philosophy is simple: Clients come first. I pledge to be in constant communication with you. Keeping you fully informed throughout the entire buying or selling process. I believe that if you’re not left with an amazing experience, I haven’t done my job. I don’t measure success through the achievements I have made or awards I have won, but through the satisfaction of our clients.
In a world where ‘responsiveness’ is literally an instant away, that term unfortunately happens to be at the center of the #1 customer complaint about the real estate industry. I have taken this to heart and make sure my clients become RAVING FANS! The best compliment I receive is when you introduce me to your family and friends not only for the service I provide, but the outcome of your purchase and/or sale of a home. That is why most of my business is referral based and word of mouth.
I am originally from the Midwest but have lived in San Diego (Lakeside) since 1998 with my wife of 30 plus years. We have 1 adult son who is a SDSU alumni (Go Aztecs)! When we are not working, we enjoy good BBQ, movies, golf and just good ole family time.

Doug's Reviews

Doug has set an impossibly high standard for all realtors to match. Being first-time homebuyers, we were extremely cautious and thorough in our vetting process for the right realtor to meet our needs. Despite being a military family house-hunting from the other side of the country in a very tough market, Doug was extremely patient, accommodating, and communicative. He exceeded our expectations and even helped us with a bathroom remodel and contractor recommendations for the property we closed on! Cannot recommend Doug highly enough.

I have worked with Doug Rains for over 10 years and have always found him to be consistent in providing excellent service to his clients. Doug is knowledgeable, professional, caring and always extremely responsive to his clients and customers. We love working with Doug as he also has an eye for detail! When we receive his documents to open escrow, they are always complete and accurate! For a TC, this is extremely helpful when starting the process. It is always a pleasure working with him and we look forward to the continued business and partnership we share! Thank you Doug for being "Exceptional"
