We provided a list of features we wanted in the home and Lina assured us she would work tirelessly to find us something we loved. Not only was she very patient she was also very resourceful and extended her network which was instrumental throughout our homebuying process. She connected us with a lender that was just as informed and patient as she was. This allowed us to maintain our competitive edge in the housing market and even close escrow in just 14 days!
We are extremely appreciative for Lina’s commitment to our journey. We absolutely love our new home and would highly recommend her as a trusted realtor!" - Monique Spencer & Shawn Hoskins
"Lina is #1 in my book and I would highly recommend any buyer or seller to consult her expertise and expansive network of vendors. I've bought 2 other homes and I get the sense that those realtors were riding the gravy train of pandemic real estate $$. In my opinion, Lina is the real deal in any buying or selling circumstance.
My wife and I met Lina at an open house while we were just casually browsing a neighborhood in San Diego. She was engaging and immediately struck us as someone who we would enjoy working with. Fast-forward 3 months of NOT house shopping whatsoever, and we unexpectedly found a home we were very interested in -- immediately called Lina. She acted fast and we got an offer in. In this competitive market, we got beat by $300k (which we didn't think the home was worth anyways!). Not to be deterred, Lina learned what we were looking for, and WHY. She put in a lot of effort, and found us a home that checked most of our boxes, especially the bit about being closer to friends and in a family-safe neighborhood. She handled the simultaneous and time-sensitive effort of selling our current home in Escondido while working us through negotiations with the new home in San Diego. She and her network of vendors (lenders, inspectors, insurance agents, photographer/videographer) were a huge help throughout the process as Lina maneuvered all the moving parts of two separate real estate transactions (with the buyer being remote and myself being in London half that time). My wife and I now have our dream home in San Diego!
We only learned later that she was also closing 5 other transactions during that period of time, and we never would have known... we truly felt like we were her only concern during that time.
I will always recommend Lina, as her heartfelt dedication to her clients, market knowledge, and unstoppable personal disposition put her far and above others in the industry." - Adam Smith
First and foremost, Lina is undeniably personable. Her warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. As first-time homebuyers, we had many concerns and questions, and Lina's approachable nature helped calm our nerves and instilled confidence in our decisions.
Moreover, Lina's communication skills are unparalleled. She was always readily available to answer our inquiries, no matter how trivial they may have seemed. We never felt left in the dark, thanks to her transparent and proactive communication style.
One of the standout qualities that Lina possesses is her exceptional negotiation skills. In the competitive real estate market of San Diego, her expertise and strategic approach truly shone. Our journey involved making offers on three different homes, and each time, Lina's excellent relationships within the industry opened doors for us. While we had opportunities to secure the previous homes, we eventually found our dream home with the third offer. Lina's negotiation prowess played a significant role in helping us clinch the deal, and for that, we are immensely grateful.
In a dynamic market like San Diego, Lina stands out as a beacon of excellence. Her skill set not only provides a competitive advantage to the buyer but also ensures a smooth and successful transaction. Having worked in the real estate industry myself, I can genuinely recognize the extraordinary efforts and talent that Lina possesses. Her dedication to her clients is unmatched, and her commitment to ensuring their satisfaction is evident in every step she takes.
We wholeheartedly recommend Lina to anyone in search of a top-notch real estate agent. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or an experienced investor, Lina's expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients will exceed your expectations. Thank you, Lina, for making our homebuying experience unforgettable, making our dreams come true, and for being a true gem in the real estate industry!" - Ola & Awse

Among the excellent work she did, several things stood out that we hadn’t experienced with previous agents.
It felt like we were her top priority—she always picked up the phone, and we never got her voicemail. Her responses were incredibly fast.
We looked at over 15 homes, and she always seemed to drop everything to be there at a moment’s notice.
Spending time with her was so enjoyable that I wanted to be her friend afterward! I can’t tell you how much fun I had going to open houses with her! She kept it real when I ever asked her her opinion on a house we’d look at, and I never felt pressured in any way. It felt like she truly had our best interests at heart.She not only sold our home for an amazing price WAY above asking but also helped us find our dream home that met every checklist item we’d given her initially (and then some). Truly an incredible agent we would recommend to anyone!!" - McKaela Smith

“Wonderful experience working with Lina on the purchase of a townhouse in the spring of 2023. Even with a difficult market Lina's experience and diligence ensured that we found exactly the home that we were looking for. She was incredibly patient as we toured several homes and, once in escrow, ensured that we understood the entire process and worked hard so that we were not taken advantage of during the process. We will absolutely work with Lina on future home purchases and recommend that you do as well!
We worked with Lina to buy our first condo after an arduous process that spanned 3 months, touring countless properties, submitting 6 offers, and getting into 3 escrows, all in a brutal San Diego market. This bears testimony to Lina’s tireless hard work, determination, and sincerity towards her clients. We were incredibly lucky to have Lina on our side as she was so patient and kind with us and genuinely understood our needs! As first time buyers, we had so many questions and Lina made it a point to answer every one of them. Working with her got us not only our perfect home but also taught us a lot about the process!
Lina gave us her 100% in every step along the home buying process. Her diligence in researching properties and learning the background on each property and the sellers’ preferences helped her craft excellent offers, tailor-made to each property. This gave us an edge over other offers, which proved so important in a hyper-competitive market where every decent property received multiple offers. During escrow, she was very considerate of our concerns and had our best interests in mind. She toured properties with us multiple times for contractors’ quotes, offered objective advice, and scrutinized inspection results and HOA documents, all of which put us at ease.
Lina, we are grateful for your time, advice, care, thoughtfulness, hard work, sincerity and the gifts :) thanks to you, we went from being clueless aspirants to first-time homeowners! We were a great team and can’t wait to work with you again!“ - Divya N.

“Buying your first house is a scary and overwhelming experience and I can strongly recommend that you have an expert like Lina Saba in your corner. A lot of Realtors come with knowledge and experience, but Lina brought human qualities on top of those- compassion, empathy, encouragement, and honesty. She told us the truth every step of the way whether it was what we wanted to hear at that moment or not, so we felt very comfortable making life-changing decisions with her guidance. Lina will work tirelessly for you to get the deal you need! We laughed, I cried, and we came out knowing that we have a partner in Lina for all our future real estate transactions!“ - Liz M.

“We just wrapped up our first home purchase. It could have been a stressful process but Lina made it a complete breeze. She took our needs and wants into account during the home search process, and was patient, honest, and never made us feel any pressure.
Once we found ""the one"" - she helped us craft a great offer which was accepted -- not an easy feat in this market!!!!
Throughout escrow she was super communicative and made sure everything went super smoothly from inspection to close. She also helped us find a great contractor for some renovations.Overall I can't recommend Lina highly enough!!“ - Katie W.

“After my husband and I moved to San Diego, our friend and realtor Ola introduced us to Lina, who has been a key partner in our home-buying process from start to finish! From the first call, we could feel Lina's friendliness and warmth. She helped us feel comfortable and excited about the home buying process by introducing us to different neighborhoods that fit our lifestyle and budget. She was able to quickly recommend homes that we were interested in, and was very responsive in leaving comments in the listings. When we went to viewings, she put together a lot of options for us and we were surprisingly able to get through up to 7 in a day! Lina was the one that found and suggested the home that we ended up putting an offer on, so we are so thankful for her proactiveness, keen eye, and attention to our needs. Lina was also very supportive and resourceful during the escrow, and was able to tap into her broad network to help us with our various needs. She was super communicative with us, our lender, and our other vendor partners throughout, which helped reduce our stress! Since we have closed and moved in, Lina has continued to check-in and make sure we feel comfortable and welcome in our new home. She even surprised us on our move-in day by delivering a meal to us! My husband and I are so thankful to have had Lina as a part of our friendly support system during this whole process. I would definitely recommend Lina to anyone looking to buy a home in San Diego!“ - Janet L.

“Lina is absolutely wonderful - very resourceful, super friendly, always available, gives her 100% honest opinion on everything, and was just an all around great resource to have during our home search in a completely new city - San Diego. We moved from out of town so her knowledge on various SD neighborhoods was very helpful, along with her recommendations on local lenders and contractors. She was very communicative throughout the entire process - including escrow and beyond! She helped us shop around for the best mortgage rates, made sure things were moving along during escrow, kept close communication with our lender and the seller's agent, and even helped us negotiate and save some money. Very fortunate to have met her, and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home here in SD! Thanks Lina!“ - Aviral A.
