If you are looking to sell or purchase a home Joe is the Realtor for you. I met Joe when I sold my house in lemon Grove and let me tell you he made that experience so stress-free and he took care of all the fine details, so when it came time for me to purchase a new home, he was the first person I thought of.

Joe takes the time to explain every single detail to you so you’re not confused or stressed. He’s there to answer your questions and address any concerns. He listens and takes note of all the things you want in a home and finds the perfect place for you. He has a great team behind him and he was there every step of the way.

If you’re looking to purchase or sell your home, I recommend Joe. He Took the stress out of purchasing my home and made me feel confident and comfortable in my decision. He went above and beyond for me and because of that, I’m now a proud owner of a beautiful condo in Oceanside, California. Thank you, Joe. I appreciate everything you’ve done.

Glad I was able to close a deal with Joe on a property in Lemon Grove. Easy and smooth process thanks to Joe. Who was very commutative during the whole process from start to finish. Quick to respond to questions that I had, in order to relay to my clients and facilitated anything that came across. This resulted and keeping my clients excited through the entire steps of the process. Would be glad to work with Joe again on any future listings he may have.

My wife and I were looking to replace the real estate agent we were working with for a little over one year, we were lucky enough to come across Joe’s profile and great reviews on Keller Williams website, and other real estate websites, I decided to call him to make an appointment to meet in order to see if he would be the right fit for us, after meeting Joe, he gave me a great first impression and my wife and I knew immediately that he would be an agent we could work with to help us in search for a home to purchase, that decision proved to be a great decision that we made, Joe turned out to be one of the most professional, competent and most passionate real estate agent I have ever had the pleasure to work with, I purchased properties on the East Coast and now San Diego, Joe has earned my respect with his professionalism and competence in his knowledge of the real estate market, he’s attentive, always caring and respectful of our opinion and or concerns relating to any doubts we would have about a specific property, Joe never tried to pressure us in any way into a purchase that my wife and I were not 100% sure about. That played an extremely important part in our interactions with Joe especially since we are new to California in general and San Diego in particular, Joe was great in helping us navigate through our home purchase, since the home purchase process in California is vastly different than the East Coast where usually a real estate attorneys handle the legal process of real estate transactions. I would highly recommend Joe without hesitation to anyone looking to have a trouble free and a pleasant experience in making a real estate transactions.

Nothing bad to say about Joe. Very thorough in explaining the home selling process and very knowledgeable about the San Diego area. Our preferred buyers' backed out right when we were about to accept, but since Joe is so well known he had additional buyers' come in literally the same day looking for a house. He ended up acting as buyers' and sellers' agent on our sale, got us a great price for our home, and did a fantastic job.

Joe is insightful, responsive, smart, and skilled with negotiations. This market is intimidating as a buyer and having an EXPERIENCED REALTOR is literally a GAME CHANGER! After getting outbid while working with another realtor I reached out. He was quick to adapt to changing variables and took us on board at the last minute to submit the MOST APPEALING & RATIONAL OFFER to the seller. Lo and behold, our offer got accepted! I highly recommend him and his team to make this process smooth and stress free. Thank you and keep blessing many individuals/families with your talents!

I am a peer/fellow real estate agent and loved working with Joe on our transaction! I had a buyer on his listing and he was so fantastic from our initial point of contact and all the way through escrow. He had great client control, was extremely responsive, professional, and was such a team player! He was also always upbeat and positive and optimistic when we spoke, which make negotiations so much smoother.

After being highly recommended by a good friend, we gave Joe a call. From the day we met until the day we closed on our home (today) he was there every step of the way. He was always available to answer our calls, explain things we didn’t understand, and give his professional advice. My wife and I were very excited to buy our first home. We found a place that checked a lot of boxes and ended up going into escrow, later to find out the hoa was unbelievably underfunded. We ended up having to pull out of escrow, but Joe wasn’t discouraged and assured us that he was more then happy to show us more properties and start the process all over again. We ended up finding a better property in a much better location and couldn’t be happier. Joe has been in the industry for a long time and it shows. Joe if you’re reading this, thank you once again!

I am currently an active duty Marine with 15 years in the service. This was our first home we bought, and needless to say we were filled with questions and wants facts and information to back it up so we could make an informed discussion. Joe took the time to explain it all as well as keep on the lending company to process our paperwork when we couldn't get through. Joe negotiated everything we needed and then some, even things we didn't think of! He treats you like family and not like a mark he is trying to get. His caring attitude and understanding helped make the process move along while helping us stay at ease. It doesn't matter if it's your first home or 5th, Joe will help you get what you want. He helped us get our dream house and we will forever be thankful.

Let me start this review off by telling you how picky and demanding I am . I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with Joe Hernandez and his staff. He was all about business from start to finish. He walked us through the home buying process and put us at ease. The entire process was so seamless and efficient that all of our friends and family was so surprised how fast we found and closed on the house. Joe is in a class by himself and leaves big shoes to fill for all other real estate agents to imitate and try replicate. His service and attention to detail for home buying. Joe made our family feel like we were his only client. We never felt pressured into buying a forever home . He has a plan and actively invites you to contribute. He is a man with real hometown morals and values , A tentative husband. Hands on father and dedicated grandfather. His talents are multi faceted. If your looking to be treated like family then Joe and his staff will treat you just like that "Family". We are 100% satisfied with our home purchase. I would highly recommend his services if your looking to get your forever home. Congrats your search has ended for a real estate agent you have found the needle in the haystack. He can back up everything I have reviewed him on if you trust his expertise you won’t regret it.

Why does Joe get five stars? Read on… Joe was recommended by a family member which was my starting point. I expect good service and real estate expertise, but overall, Joe exceeded my expectations. The selling of our home was done in a professional manner starting with photos and a “virtual tour” created by a professional photographer. The photos were part of the marketing plan Joe discussed with us before we hired him to sell our home.

Joe gave us excellent advice on preparing our home for showing to prospective buyers. After just one weekend of showing we received multiple offers and counter offers at the high end of the current market value as predicted by Joe.

Selling a home can be and is stressful. Joe was readily available to answer questions and explain the process in layman’s terms if necessary. Joe handled the negotiations very well resulting in satisfaction by the buyer and us. In short, Joe knows the real estate business, works very professionally and values his clients.
