“Joe is an excellent realtor and an all-around great guy. We were initially the lowest offer on a very popular home that received several cash offers above the asking price - but thanks to Joe's advice and persistence, we got our dream house! He is incredibly knowledgeable and provided thoughtful guidance throughout the whole process. In fact, he really went above and beyond his role and felt more like a trusted friend than a realtor. He has an extensive network of contacts that he connected us with when we needed subject matter expert advice on a few complicated matters. He also carefully explained the contracts (there were several due to the nature of our situation) and was very transparent about everything. We learned so much from him and are grateful for all that he did for us. We are thrilled with our home and would recommend to Joe to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat!.” - H.K.

“I want to start by saying that Joe is simply amazing to work with whether you have experience purchasing real estate or are new to buying property like me. If you are looking into buying a home in San Diego, I highly recommend Joe. He is very knowledgeable about the San Diego real estate market, he will communicate with you constantly, will answer all your questions, and will act on your best interest throughout the process. I'm a first time home buyer and the process went excellent from day one! I spotted the property, Joe was quick to get access to the property (within hours), we made an offer (which got accepted thanks to Joe's advice), and closed in 33 days. I don't even know how, but Joe managed to answer my questions even when I emailed/texted him after hours. Joe also helped my boyfriend buy his condo last year so I have experienced Joe's professionalism twice during this past year. In summary, I highly recommend Joe if you need a professional, experienced, and diligent real estate agent!.” - Tina C.

“My Wife and I used Joe to help us purchase a condo in San Diego this past summer. Joe was always friendly, very responsive to our needs, he always answered our calls or got back to us immediately - even in the evening. He doesn't make you sign an exclusive contract with him as he wants you to stay with him because you feel satisfied with his service, not because you are locked i. He listened to our needs and helped us find our dream home, even when we needed to back out of an offer to do so. Our escrow process was very quick and relatively painless. I felt like Joe was an experienced negotiator and was knowledgeable about the market. I would absolutely recommend using Joe as your realtor.” - Michael B.
a philosophy buoyed by his optimistic outlook and often spot-on intuition. It works:
During more than two decades as a realtor, he’s been ranked in the top 5% of agents by
volume in San Diego County.
Known equally for his easy-going personality and professionalism, his continued success
is based in a firm belief that by extending the highest level of care to his clients and
placing their interests first—by managing expectations honestly, engaging in open
communication and working to build strong relationships with all parties involved
in a transaction—the entire experience can be truly enjoyable and rewarding for
everyone.
Beyond his years of expertise and deep network, the La Jolla native offers a wide
array of additional insights and perspectives that directly benefit his clients. As a
San Diego lifer (with an office a block from where he was born!) he knows every
inch of the city and region—and has lived in various homes from University City and
El Cerrito to his current residence in San Carlos. Mclaughlin also has a background
in construction and landscaping, with five years of experience in each field, and
brings that knowledge to all of his transactions.
Away from the office, Mclaughlin is an avid surfer of 45 years and an active member
of the Windandsea Surf Club. He’s a regular volunteer and supporter of annual
events such as Kids’ Day At The Beach, Special Surfers’ Day At The Beach and the
Menhune Surf Contest; he’s also a frequent contributor to Feeding San Diego
and a past member of the University City Community Association
planning committee. When he’s not at the beach or hiking with his wife, Carla, he’s
at home with their two beloved Maine Coon cats, Arlo and Angus.
