“Lenna Doyle did an absolutely fantastic job securing a dream home for us in our preferred location of northern San Diego County. Seeking such a home seemed like a daunting task given we were living on the East Coast and had to rely on a couple of weekend trips to visit homes in person. However, Lenna kept in constant touch by email and phone, giving us Facetime tours of new listings and making inquiries to sellers and their agents promptly and efficiently no matter the day or time. Lenna's knowledge of the Southern California market is exceptional, and she uses only first- rate inspectors, remediation experts, and contractors to ensure we're getting the best service. (One particularly meticulous inspection saved us from buying a home that had serious hidden problems.) Our relationship with Lenna has continued well past the home purchase date, as she remains in touch to guarantee that we are getting solid advice as we pursue some remodeling projects. We wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone seeking to move to this region, including the Encinitas, Carlsbad, La Jolla and San Diego neighborhoods! ”

“Lenna did an outstanding job selling our house (and finding it for us eight years earlier!) and I highly recommend her services. She knows the craft and gives great advice on just what to do in order to increase the likelihood of selling your home quickly and profitably. From knowing the things that need to be fixed, the optional improvements that can most boost your price, the contractors to use, and how/where to promote, she does it all. Our house sale was particularly challenging because we had moved out of state, and she had no qualms at all about getting involved herself in order to make things happen. She knew the right folks, helped schedule and facilitate contracts, and, while acknowledging that it's still work to sell a home, basically made it as easy as possible for us as sellers. On top of all of this, she has a sound moral compass and aligned with our values, making everything just as sound for the buyer as for the seller. Go with Lenna and you won't be disappointed. Thank you Lenna! ”

“People say” you get the house you’re meant to have" and that “things happen for a reason." The fact of the matter is, when you’re looking for a home in San Diego, you need someone with the kind of talent, skill, and elan that Lenna has. She goes above and beyond and makes things happen without brute force; instead she engages in clear communication and strategic planning. She anticipates potential issues before they arise and handles everything with remarkable ease. She’s not afraid to submit offers under listing if that’s appropriate. And she does all of her research and truly listens to your "wants" and "don’t wants." She is even-keeled and yet, if you don’t get a particular house, she has empathy for how painful the process can be. She is a generous soul with an intellect to match. She offered to pick me up at the airport twice when I flew in to view a couple of houses. No one would balk at 6% commissions these days if all realtors were like Lenna. But they’re not. She is one in 1 million. If you have the opportunity to work with her, don’t hesitate. She is one of the best. Her talent and skill in navigating the complexities of the real estate landscape are unparalleled. Thanks to Lenna, I secured my dream home without any of the usual headaches. She truly went above and beyond, demonstrating a level of competence and commitment that sets her apart from others in the field. Whether you’re buying or selling, you won't find a better partner in your real estate journey. Thank you, Lenna. Your incredible understanding of the market, and your strategic approach to pricing and negotiations was crucial in closing our deal quickly and efficiently . . . and it was actually fun! Every step of the way! ”

Lenna was very involved and very understanding with all our questions. We were confident in her esteemed guidance. The end results went thankfully perfect! This whole process went so well that we can say Lenna is forever a confidant and friend in our lives! I would recommend her to all my Family and Friends. ”

“We had many reasons to be worried about this sale: an empty home needing upgrades, our physical distance from La Jolla, our time constraints, a squishy market. Lenna listened to us, reassured us, took charge of every aspect of this sale. She prescribed modest upgrades, drew on her list of reliable contractors, was on site constantly and touched base with us every day. She recommended a pre-inspection, which was a great move. We listed on a Friday, had an open house Saturday, and 7 bids by Sunday night, including four above our asking price and two all cash. Lenna was a great negotiator, always providing us with good, gentle advice and suggestions . We closed on time three weeks later. Our closing costs were lower than we had budgeted and we walked away with considerably more than we had originally anticipated. Also, we had a tax deadline for this sale and met it with room to spare. We were thrilled. No way we could have done this without Lenna. We can't recommend her strongly enough. ”

“We've worked with Lenna twice to both buy and sell our house, and we've been extremely pleased with her knowledge and dedication both times. She does her research and goes out of her way to take care of things that, as a buyer or seller, you may not be aware of. She explains all the processes in detail and helps you feel comfortable with your decisions. She will go above and beyond to help you. She really knows the market and trends and my wife and I would highly recommend her. ”

“I very highly recommend Lenna Doyle. She is so personable, friendly and most importantly very honest. You definitely feel like she wants you to find the perfect home for you just as much as you do. She is also extremely knowledgeable and made sure that I was extremely clear and comfortable with all the details of my home purchase. She will stay on your home finding journey as long as it takes to find you the perfect home and when you do find it she will make sure to do everything in her power to make sure to negotiate the terms of the sale. ”

“Lenna is an absolutely fabulous person and realtor. She seamlessly helped us buy a home in San Diego while we were still living out of the country. It adds a layer of stress to move back home from outside the United States, but Lenna made everything normal, easy and fast. She is extremely organized and knowledgeable and worked calmly and quickly under tight timelines. Lenna is one of the finest people I have worked with, and we have bought 5 homes, and we trusted her immediately. Every detail of buying the house went smoothly thanks to Lenna and we could not recommend her more! She deserves 10 stars as she even left us toilet paper and champagne as our housewarming !!! ”
