"We had a wonderful experience working with Jeff and Jen as first-time home buyers. They guided us through every step of the process with patience, professionalism, and
genuine care. We bought a 1970s home, and they taught us so much, not only about the home-buying process, but also what to look out for during inspections of older homes. They helped us arrange multiple inspections to ensure there were no surprises after moving in, and when there was any doubt, they proactively sought second opinions and obtained multiple repair quotes so we could negotiate confidently with the seller. We also had a short closing timeline, and their proactiveness and prompt communication made all the difference in keeping everything on track. Even after closing, Jeff and Jen continued to support us through our move-in and repair phase, offering advice and connecting us with trusted professionals. Weāre truly grateful for their expertise, responsiveness, and dedication, they made our first home-buying experience smooth, educational, and enjoyable. Highly recommend Jeff and Jen to anyone looking for realtors who genuinely care about their clients! - Duc

āI met Jeff through my mom, who had met him randomly at an open house in North County. Boy, was I lucky that they got acquainted! This guy is an absolute GEM when it comes to realtors. Jeff ticks all the boxes in this profession: Personable. Tenacious. Knowledgeable. Creative. Patient. Hustler. He stuck with me through the thick of it when we encountered challenges from other parties when trying to close on my first home. Without Jeff, I wouldnāt have landed my dream condo in Cardiff⦠but luckily I had this guy on my team! In short, this dude is radical. And a BIG shoutout to Jennifer L. She pulled out all the stops on getting the ball rolling and opening up channels of communication. She was probably a Hollywood movie producer in another life. You guys freaking ROCK!!! Your friend, Justin Hawk"

āI would give him six stars if I could. First, he is knowledgeable about the market and how to market your home in the best way for the greatest return. Second, he works hard to help you clean and dispose of clutter. Third, and most important, he creates a first impression that will stick in the buyerās mind. He negotiates to your advantage without being tough, but kind. Once youāve seen him in action, youāll join the multitudes in the Jeff DeChamplain fan club! - Phyllis Ziring"

āJeff and Jen are amazing! I came to them with a challenging situation and they came through. They went WAY above and beyond to assist me with the sale of my property. I'm not sure how many times I brought them new experiences in real estate, but they have many new skills now to share with their customers. If you are looking for agents that will go the extra mile for you, look no further. They really do earn their pay! - Denise Ashley"

āI was in the market to sell a challenging property. I had been advised that I would need to sell at 30% below market value and even with the discounted price, it was not a guaranteed sale. I needed a top-notch realtor to list my property, and was introduced to Jeff DeChamplain and Jen Lego. Jeff and Jen are a seasoned, synergistic team that worked together beautifully to overcome the obstacles that were inherent in listing my property. They navigated a trifecta of complex disclosures with the highest integrity. Their level of communication with me, with each other, and with buyerās agents was truly impressive. They kept me informed every step of the way and always followed through on everything that they said they would do. Jeff and Jen collaborated to prepare my property for showing by stretching the small budget that I gave them, and they exceeded my expectations at every turn. This team runs like a well-oiled machine. My property sold at market value in just 17 days, beating the average days on the market for my area. I recommend Jeff DeChamplain and Jen Lego to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. - Sheryl."

āI was very impressed with Jen and Jeff's integrity, knowledge and helpful advice. I originally was going to try to hire people to renovate and sell my mother's house. But right away I realized I was in way over my head due simply to inexperience. I panicked. I called Jeff and he agreed to take on my project. It all turned out beautifully and we sold for way over asking. I also loved the construction loan their business makes available. I recommend them highly. - Pam Forrester"

āWe recently worked with Jeff & Jen to sell our Encinitas/Olivenhain home. This was the 4th time Jeff & Jenn have helped us sell or buy a home, and after every transaction weāve been grateful for their partnership, expertise, creativity and support. To prepare our homes we used their team of handymen, home stagers, roofer and plumbing experts, all going to make our home look it's best for sale. From open house, to private showings, brokers open or access to their massive marketing network they will use every tool in the tool box for you to sell or buy your dream home, they have done it for us many times. They are always available and they kept us updated throughout the entire process. We trust them and their team completely! Call Jeff & Jen today and see the DeChamplain difference. - Harry H"

āDear Jennifer Lego, Jeff DeChamplain, and the entire Home Team,
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service and dedication
you provided in selling our home. Working with the Jennifer and Jeff Home Team has
been a truly positive and rewarding experience, and I wanted to take a moment to
acknowledge your outstanding efforts.
From the initial consultation to the final closing, your team demonstrated a level of
professionalism and expertise that instilled confidence and peace of mind throughout
the entire selling process. Your attention to detail, strategic approach, invaluable
handyman service contacts, and comprehensive understanding of the real estate
market were truly commendable.
Jennifer's keen understanding of market trends and her ability to accentuate the unique
features of our home was truly invaluable. Her effective marketing strategies, thoughtful
carpet and paint selections, and the strategic arrangement of staged furniture were
carefully crafted to underscore our property's strengths. Jennifer's comprehensive home
repair list also served as a helpful guide, keeping me on track in completing tasks, and
ultimately played a key role in attracting a pool of interested buyers.
Jeff's adept negotiation skills were pivotal during our counteroffer proposal, showcasing
his ability to navigate and secure favorable terms for us. Reports of moisture detected
within the walls of our home surfaced during the buyer's inspection. Despite this,
Jeff/Jennifer promptly eased our concerns by presenting viable solutions to address the
issue. They offered a choice of three professional companies to come out to our home
for necessary repairs. Jeff's steadfast commitment to a smooth transaction, adherence
to the timeline, and Zen-like ability to navigate potential challenges were truly
impressive. Subsequent investigations by two independent professional companies,
utilizing state-of-the-art technological equipment, revealed that the root cause of the
issue was due to a malfunctioning moisture meter.
What sets the Jennifer Lego and Jeff DeChamplain Home Team apart from all the rest
is not just their professional excellence but also their genuine care for their clients.
Throughout the process, they took the time to understand our goals, address our
concerns, and provide thoughtful guidance. Your personalized approach and
commitment to brokering the best possible deal for us makes you a standout team in
the real estate industry.
For us, selling our home was somewhat of a stressful experience, but thanks to your
expertise and support, the process was smooth and seamless. I am grateful for the
positive impact you've had on this significant chapter in our lives. I wholeheartedly
recommend Jennifer Lego and Jeff DeChamplain Home Team to anyone looking to buy
or sell their home. Their commitment to excellence, integrity, and client satisfaction
makes them a trusted partner in the real estate community.
Thank you, Jennifer and Jeff, for exceeding our expectations and making the sale of our
home a truly rewarding experience. v/r Keith & De Courcy Luckett"

āJeff and Jennifer are a dynamic duo, worthy of superhero costumes. The team has
helped a few of our friends find their perfect homes (in a tough market) and helped us
sell ours ahead of relocation out of state. They are kind, honorable, trustworthy, and
committed to doing what's right for who they represent. We will continue to recommend
them for friends in the area and instill confidence in reviewers that if you have the
opportunity to work with this team, you're in really good hands! - David Randle"

āDeChamplain team has helped us buy/sell 12 homes since 2007. We do not buy/sell as
a business. They have all been family properties and referrals. Jeff and Jennifer are
very dear to us and have become family over the years. Jeff has got us top dollar on our
home sells and the lowest possible on our buys. Our latest buy is our true long term,
forever home. We thought the other 3 were our forever homes but family circumstances
forced us to sell. Husband and I were going to move from California (we are both Native
San Diegans), until Jeff found, āthe oneā. Last year was the worst for us trying to find a
home as was so many other families. Single family homes were flying off the shelves.
We were down to our last weekend to find our new home, (sold our existing home in 15
days and had to be out). Jeff and Jennifer came thru for us again, scrambled to get our
forever home within a week. We are now very happy and are staying in No. County-
forever. - Diane Beasley"
