Devore Realty Group

Bryan saved us from losing the house we wanted. As we rode the roller-​coaster of the real estate buying-​and-​selling process, he continuously kept in contact with the bank, even going above and beyond running down to an auction to keep the house from being sold that same day. His knowledge of the modern-​day real estate business is extensive. He sold another home for us also. We recommend him to friends who need a good agent. He is always quick with a home-​improvement referral if needed, supports our local schools and drops by some holiday treats each year. The Devores are professional, personable, responsive and they know the area well. I highly recommend them.

Most people don’t truly understand the importance of word of mouth. Had my experience been better I might have told friend’s positive things about Bryan, resulting in referrals. Instead I’m writing this review to tell my experience.
We used Bryan to buy our first home. All first home buyers know how confusing, stressful, and scary the process can be. Every day something new happens. So an agent is suppose to help you navigate the home buying process. Bryan did a poor job at that.
Let me explain what happen. My wife and I had picked a new construction condo to purchase. We have always been taught that regardless of the situation you should always hire a real estate agent. So after already picking where we want to life, we decided it could not hurt to hire an agent. I mean someone might as well get a commission? He could get paid doing little and we would benefit by getting advise.
The main problem was Bryan went MIA for weeks without a single check-​in, and left me hanging at a critical time. All home buyers know the last two weeks are crazy. A new problem comes up by the hour. At this critical time, Bryan was not present. His response time was always delayed. That was a problem because everything changes hour to hour during escrow. While some of it has to do with lag from construction, every agent we told our story to was just baffled by this unprofessional lack of communication and care on Bryans part. Bryan never provided the piece of mind an agent should. I really got upset once Bryan started to come around after escrow closed! In a way it felt like he was more checking in to see if it was time to get paid.
Even with all these negatives, my wife and I were going to take a «let it go» approach. No nasty calls, no letters, no negative Unilocal reviews, zero! That was until I got a letter in the mail from him. We got a passport gift card with a note that read «here is a little something I promised you» Now let me explain what a «Passport Gift Card» is. It is basically a buy-​1 get-​1 free COUPON for an appetizer at a limited number of restaurants. To be honest a simple thank you card would have done wonders. We felt like this corporate giveaway was disrespectful given we let Bryan enter the deal after we picked our home.
We felt like Bryan may be use to doing larger deals in our area. So our small condo was not big enough for him. What he does not understand is one day we will sell our «small condo» (which will need a listing agent) and move into a larger home he is use to selling (which we will need a buying agent). At that time I will not use Bryan Devores service.
Before I close this review I do need to be fair. When he did communicate his knowledge was great. He did provide good advice the few times we communicated.

What can I say, Bryan is one of the most effective realtors we have ever used to both sell, and purchase our home. He is a seasoned professional and very adept at negotiating a fair deal. He made our transaction seamless and stressfree!

Bryan made it possible for me to buy a house without it becoming a stressful experience. He set proper expectations, timelines and procedures at the outset and ensured all parties involved were up to their tasks and responsibilities.
Whenever I had doubts, Bryan was able to hear me, understand my view points and provide his unbiased opinions and suggestions.
Some of the aspects I found noteworthy were, knowledge and experience, ability and willingness to hear my thoughts and concerns, ability to articulate responses clearly and in understandable lingo, promptness in reacting and responding to happenings, organization and discipline in the whole approach of buying the house.
Most of all, he was not pushy and was clear that he would make the best effort to find the home I liked and am comfortable with.
Thanks, Bryan!

I couldn’t have been more thrilled with my experience with Bryan Devore. He was responsive, attentive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process of selling my home and I would highly recommend the Devores to anyone that is considering selling and/​or buying a home in the Greater San Diego area.

The Devore’s are fantastic! I would definitely recommend them and will definitely use them in the future! My experience was stellar and would recommend that you at least give them a shot to talk to you about Realtor services.
