Cleve Shirley

★★★★★
“I can’t say enough about my experience working with Cleve to help sell my home. He took on responsibilities that he didn’t have to including being there they day of evicting my former tenant, he wore the hat of project manager of contractors during the repairs, he even went to Home Depot with me to help redo the patio and make it presentable with turf and plants. Cleve is an all around trustworthy and honest guy that was a God send to help me with this sale of my home. He went above and beyond to help get the deal done, while guiding me through this new process. His over all communication and work ethic was prominent through the process from start to finish. I strongly suggest working with him if you are buying or selling a home in the San Diego area.“ - Josh M.

“This was my first time buying a home. I meet with Cleve and I told him this was my first time buying a home. He said he would hold my hand through the process the whole time. And he did. When ever I had questions about the process he would answer all my questions. He would call me or text me with any updates to the house we were buying. I would recommend Cleve to anybody that’s buying a house for the first time or if you have bought houses before. He found are house in less than 30 days. He knows San Diego County very well. He made the whole experience very easy for us to buy our first home..“ - Ross R.

“I am convinced that buying and selling a home is one of the most complicated processes known to mankind I have been though a few sales and buys in my time but nothing compares to how Cleve managed our business. I set the bar pretty high and he had no trouble meeting and surpassing our expectations at every turn. Every time we move the rules and laws change, depending on what city and town, and its a maze of changing laws and bank rules, so the timing and communication has to be perfect. Not to mention negotiating for the best prices! Timely information, regular contact, easy to reach out to, no limit to the silly questions and always great advice, Cleve was there for us at every step of the process, making sure we were up to speed and understood what was happening. A great experience from a great person. He is our ONLY Realtor.“ - Brent L.

“When I was thinking about selling our rental condo in La Mesa, I checked out the real estate sites and was contacted soon after by Cleve Shirley, who offered an evaluation with no obligation. Because I hadn't really decided to sell at that point six months ago, I was as clear as possible that this might be a waste of his time, but he good-naturedly shrugged that off as "just part of the job." There was never any pressure at all as he sent us information about comparable sales, just helpful, friendly support in case we did decide to sell. When I eventuallly decided to sell, Cleve convinced me to spend some money to update the flooring, paint, etc. Because there are no guarantees that making the investment would really help to sell, and because I live too far away from La Mesa to personally supervise and inspect the work, I was reluctant at first. Well, following his expert advice is one of the best moves I ever made. He handled everything, including arranging for the contractor (the outstanding Derrick Thomas) and clean-up. I would have been happy closing at the number we had in mind originally, but Cleve convinced me to list at a higher range due to the upgrades. We did, and the condo sold during an open house before it could be listed on the MLS--at more than 10% above the number I expected. There is a lot of paperwork, but Cleve got us through it with a minimum of fuss. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.“ - Craig
