"Danijela is the consummate professional going above and beyond all expectations. Her passion for her profession is clearly evident in all that she does. Danijela’s priority is ensuring that her clients find the perfect home regardless of how long it takes or the number of homes she needs to show. She took the time to show us multiple areas, was extremely knowledgeable about development plans around each of those areas and took all the time necessary to find us the perfect home. Danijela makes you feel as though you are her only client! Additionally, she has a natural design sense and has helped us with design ideas for our renovation projects. She even took me shopping for tile! Typically the agent is gone after closing...not Danijela! She will continue to check on her clients to see how things are going and offer her assistance in any way needed. She is an awesome negotiator as we got our condo $65k below asking! We highly recommend her and will use her for future real estate needs!" - Ursula

"Danijela, by far is the most wonderful realtor I've had the pleasure to work with. She was always available to answer my questions, very thorough, honest and an excellent negotiator. My goal was to stay in Downtown San Diego and the inventory was coming up short for the square footage and price range. I explained my budget and she was successful in negotiating a fair price for my loft. This was an off market purchase and she had a contract signed within a matter of days for asking price. She is the best! I definitely recommend." - Elisabeth

"Danijela is amazing! She was involved down to the smallest details of getting my condo ready for market. She was always available when I reached out for advice. Her social media and other marketing venues created a lot of buzz surrounding my property. I never knew my place could look this good. She was essential in the negotiating phase of the listing. Thank you Danijela!!!" - Eric

"Danijela Ripley was a pleasure with which to work. She was always readily available, courteous and professional. She had fabulous pictures of our property taken and used social media platforms as an adjunct to sell our home. She got us 2 offers right away for close to asking price. Then, we pulled the rug out from under her and decided not to move - she handled it with grace and professionalism. I will definitely use Danijela again the next time we buy or sell in San Diego." - Val

"As first-time homebuyers, my partner and I were inexperienced and overwhelmed, but Danijela was patient and went above and beyond to help us navigate, understand, and feel comfortable with the process. I'm so glad we had her in our corner - she is a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with, and now we're all settled in enjoying our forever home." - Nikki

"At a really difficult time in my life, Danijela made my first home purchase easy. Danijela was personable and had a vast knowledge of the real estate market place in the area I was interested in. She was efficient and found places that met my requirements quickly. She was responsive and helpful throughout the entire process while keeping my best interest in mind. I will definitely recommend her and will use her expertise to buy my next home. Thank you, Danijela!"

"I had a great experience working with Danijela Ripley. She’s a strong negotiator and tenacious in helping me achieve my dream. We won against multiple offers to get the condo I wanted. She paid attention to detail, was very professional, punctual and helpful in every way. As with any transaction it's when there is a challenge the good ones rise up to the top. When we were stuck because of an insurance fee Danijela just went ahead and paid without hesitation. That is service and dedication! After closing she planned a housewarming party with my dear friends and is helping me with designing and remodeling my new place. Danijela has done an amazing job on my condo purchase and has also become a friend. I highly recommend her!" - Jon

"Danijela is a fantastic agent and was immensely helpful to my husband and I in finding a condo to purchase in downtown San Diego. We were unfamiliar with the area and live far away so Danijela's knowledge of this market allowed us to make a great investment in a short amount of time. I am a realtor as well in another area and know what excellent service looks like. Danijela is very familiar with the condo rental market in the area and I'm sure that our investment will do very well. She's also giving us great advice and help on remodeling and furnishing of the unit." - Karen
