For a listing agent with impeccable integrity, a track record of strong sales and a specialist in the $800k and under market, I’d go with George Lorimer. He’s located in Downtown, but regularly takes listings outside of that area and I’ve seen him sell homes in Mira Mesa.
Please shop around and wait for that “good feeling” about the agent you choose. I’m sure George would be in the running. He’s absolutely a realist about today’s market and will not BS you about the price he thinks he can sell your home for. If you don’t agree with his estimate, then he probably won’t even take your listing. He doesn’t want to waste your time or his money on unrealistic expectations.
Check him out during your search and compare him closely with others who claim to be good listing agents. He definitely has the track record to back up my recommendation.
(For those of you wondering) No, I’m not George, but he is a close friend whom I’ve never mentioned on this board before as I don’t want him hassled in any way. He’s definitely one of the good ones and works incredibly hard. Despite my overall feelings about our horrendous market, I still have tremendous respect for the job many Realtors do. George was around well before this latest boom and knows very well how to move property in any kind of market.
