Richard is fantastic and I would recommend him for his services
.
My clients were looking to buy a home and they decided to opt into his services and things started moving really quickly. I was actually worried that my team was underperforming in his eyes because we were not anticipating a realtor to be involved but he was very communicative and kept us and our clients updated and worked extremely well representing both parties. Richard set the standard for dual representation, truly. Despite the challenges of dual representation, he handled the transaction with professionalism and transparency throughout.

While dual agency can be tricky, Richard worked hard to stay neutral and fair.

If you are considering employing a professional, boutique real estate service, I highly recommend Richard. I would work with him any day.

Best Real Estate Transaction Ever!

Excellent Realtor. I used Steve to buy my first unit and used him again on a sale. He is knowledgable and accurate on pricing and what needs to be done and when. The buyer requested a quick closing and Steve made the process smooth and stress-free. He even went out of his way to resolve unexpected issues that popped up. For example, two carbon monoxide sensors needed to be added. He bought these on his own dime and even installed him. I highly recommend Steve!

Outstanding . I am so blessed to have had Steve as my Real Estate Agent. There is nobody else I would have wanted to represent selling my home. Steve’s communication and knowledge of the market were spot on and I could trust that he would take care of looking out for my best interests. He went above and beyond helping me coordinate and be there for the company to pick up items that were being donated and relieve me of the burden and other matters.
Steve deserves more than a five star rating!

In Emmett We Trust. As a first-time home buyer, Emmett went above and beyond to address all of our questions, concerns, and fears. Day and night, he was available. Stupid question or not, he answered. In hindsight, it was an easy process in thanks to Emmett.

The best agent you can find! I have been working with Emmett, from Woods Real Estate Services, for months and I really appreciate his patience and professionalism. He really understands what his clients are looking for and his main goal is to help them find the right property without rushing.
He was always extremely flexible when helping me visit properties and he was also great support, giving me key advice.
I recently purchased a property with Emmett's help and he made the entire closing process really smooth and easy.
Well deserved 5 stars!

Best Agent Ever!!! We’ve known Steve for a number of years and finally had the opportunity to use his professional service to sell my mom’s home. He listed it at the perfect price for great activity & generating multiple offers. He helped us navigate the offers and easily manage the best one for our goals… which not only to get a great price, but also to sell to a great family. It was a win/win all the way around. Steve was always available to answer questions and guide us in making good decisions. He also had a fabulous support team through the sale and throughout escrow. Steve has created a great Village to take care of every aspect of selling a home… from recommending a great cleaning company, an amazing and down to earth staging gal, fantastic photographer and of course all the various professional people in escrow & title to ensure a clean closing. He also arranged for a wonderful charity to pick furniture for donation prior to closing escrow. We could not be happier and whole heartily recommend Steve! He’s a fantastic realtor and a great human being!

Save yourself the headache and hire Emmett.

Do you want peace of mind when reaching out to other agents? Do you wanna work with someone who is willing to put in the offer you ask for? Do you need help getting all the information you need about the property? And do you want to close the deal for your dream home in San Diego?

You got your Emmett

Emmett was the best realtor, he took our feedback wholeheartedly and pushed for our best interests while touring and negotiating. He took the extra step to set up comparables to truly see what the market was and promptly provided additional info helping us make the decision for our family. 10/10 would tell anyone looking for a solid home to meet with Emmett

Excellent all the way around . From the first moment I met Richard, he was professional and sincere. His demeanor was consistent throughout the entire process. He is by far the best realtor I have ever seen. Richard possesses extensive knowledge of the market, excellent negotiation skills, and acute awareness of very sensitive situations. It made the selling process of my home from start to finish easy. Almost too easy. I highly recommend Richard for selling your home. Thank you Richard!

It was a difficult decision to sell the family home after our mother passed. Richard was the realtor who would not only expertly guide us through the selling process, but would also display empathy and patience with regard to our unique family situation. (His knowledge of Living Trusts was a welcome bonus too!)
Richard did not disappoint. His advice and marketing skills were on point; resulting with the house being sold within a week of being placed on the market.

Fantastic Realtor! Richard was recommended to us by a friend of my sister's when she found out that we were going to be selling my sister's house. After a lot of thought we decided to go with him and we are so glad we did!

Richard is so easy to work, very courteous, listened to our concerns, and is extremely knowledgeable with the industry, thus having his own real estate company. Everyone I talked to within his company was very nice and professional. We totally trusted Richard with certain decisions that had to be made and I knew he wouldn't steer us wrong. He always kept us in the loop and the whole process went very smoothly.

We would recommend Richard in a heartbeat for any and all of your real estate needs, plus he is also an attorney! We would definitely use Richard for any future real estate needs that we may have!

Excellent Negotiation Skills. Richard did an excellent job getting the condo sold at a price over asking. He was also good at navigating the request for repairs to reduce our cost. I would highly recommend him. His legal background, coupled with his years of experience make him the best agent for the job!

Richard got us over asking for our home in only 3 weeks! We knew we were going to have Richard sell our home. He lives in our neighborhood which makes him a subject matter expert for homes in our community here in San Diego. He told us at the onset that it would be about 3 weeks to sell and without fail he delivered on this promise. Multiple offers came in and he walked us through the best offer. I want to thank Richard and his team at Woods Real Estate for taking care of us throughout our home selling process!

Friendly and informative! Richard took time to answer all our questions quickly and efficiently. He took extra care to handle all our needs during the process. He went above and beyond to take care of us which was so helpful since our family was going through some difficult medical problems.

Best Agent Ever. Richard had a big task at hand I wanted to buy and sell with contingencies. This was a roller coaster ride but he was there the entire time walking me through it and traveling to see houses almost every weekend! Started this journey in Feb and we are closed in mid April, his team was highly knowledgeable, and friendly. I recommend Richard Woods as your next agent.

Fantastic experience for a first time buyer! Working with Richard and Josh was a delight. They cheerfully met with us in Orange County several times as we helped our son buy his first home. Their knowledge of how much to offer, helping negotiate terms and closing adjustments made the process as easy as possible, in the competitive market in which we were working. After much looking, and negotiating, we acquired the best property with our son! Thanks so much, Richard and Josh!

Extraordinary!!
I͏ cannot express how lucky our family was to have Richard Woods as our realtor. To say that he is extraordinarily knowledgeable and utterly professional would be true but also serious understatements. Richard used his wealth of experience, legal background, savvy understanding of the market, and extensive professional network to help guide us through very complicated matters with the estate sale of our home. He connected us with all of the many services we needed to make the home attractive on the market and to wade through the legal issues related to selling it. We were exceptionally well cared for and cannot recommend him highly enough!

Richard and his team did an amazing job helping our family of four find our new home. Richard was unfailingly professional and pleasant to work with. We were consistently impressed with how fast and efficient he and his team worked regardless of the aggressive market conditions. We couldn’t recommend him highly enough and look forward to working with him on future purchases.

It͏ was such a pleasure working with Richard Woods and his great team!
It was an absolute pleasure working with Richard. He took care of all the many details - that's what comes with his extensive real estate knowledge - which meant I was happily stress-free! Richard used a brilliant network of connections to sharpen up and showcase my home.
He was so cheerful about the process that it was contagious! Thank you, Richard, for all you did to make selling my place a smooth operation!

Richard represented us in purchasing a condo in San Diego. He was very helpful from the beginning, which was fortunate as we live in New Mexico and didn’t know a lot about the city’s neighborhoods. He provided us with a steady stream of condo listings that met our needs, and gave us useful hints about the neighborhoods they were in. Eventually he and his staff took us around during a week-long visit to the city. We eventually bought a delightful condo in a different neighborhood than we had previously considered, which he recommended we look at after getting an in-person view of our likes and dislikes. He continued to be helpful in our somewhat unorthodox cash transaction, and has helped us with such items as how to deal with our new condo association and management. All in all, we had a wonderful experience with Richard and he is a profoundly knowledgeable and professional real estate agent. We would recommend him to anyone who needs a dedicated (and very nice) agent in San Diego.

Happy͏ to recommend Richard
This͏ is our second time working with Richard and we happily recommend him for any buying/selling needs. Richard is patient and walked us through dozens of houses while we looked for the one that was just right. He never pushed his thoughts on us and was always willing to talk things through. He took care of all scheduling including appointments to look at houses, inspection appointments at the house we were selling and the one we were buying, and made sure we had all the information we needed when we needed it.

It's͏ been a pleasure working with Richard. It's easily one of the best decisions I made. My home selling experience was smooth and peaceful because of his professionalism, expertise, and excellent communication skills. He kept me well informed at every stage of the process and provided expert guidance in navigating the offers. He has a wealth of knowledge in the real estate business and it shows. He helped me get an offer well above the asking price. I highly recommend Richard for anyone considering a home sale.

Richard and his entire staff were literally joys to work with. The marketing strategies got us great turnouts for the Open Houses, which got us multiple offers above our asking price. Richard helped us navigate those multiple offers to not only get us a great price, but get it in a timely manner, even with the holiday season.

Richard is the bomb! Sixth time around and BY FAR the best home shopping/buying experience of them all — professional, responsive (so important!!), knowledgeable, savvy … the guy is just great and so is the team behind him. I mean, why waste time with anyone else?

Professional and experienced and just fun to work with
Richard has been doing SD real estate for almost 20 years. He knows the neighborhoods, the market, and many of the other agents you may end up making offers through. He helped us buy a North Park home which needed a lot of work. He worked with the seller’s agent to negotiate a reduced price for some of the damage we discovered in the inspection phase. He was quickly able to assemble professionals in: electric, plumbing, termite and whole house inspections to help us revise our proposal to the sellers. He was also able to connect us with an architect and a few general contractors. Oh, and the lender he recommended was able to get our loan closed in just over 2 weeks!! Overall, we are really happy with our experience thus far. I would definitely recommend Richard for selling or buying real estate.

Firstly, this review is unsolicited. We've worked with Richard Woods for a number of years, as his real estate photographer & videographer, which has given us a unique insight into his interactions with dozens of clients.

The care, precision, attention to detail, experience and knowledge we've witnessed Richard give first hand to every one of his clients over the years is astounding. He takes the time to make sure his clients are fully informed and truly goes the extra mile to attain his clients' goals.

We've worked with a lot of top agents in San Diego, but Richard Woods rises above the rest in just about every metric imaginable. Choosing Woods Real Estate Services to represent you or someone you love is a wise decision.
