I cannot say enough positive things about Mimi Merlo. We had to leave San Diego in a big hurry as my husband suddenly became very ill. We left a key with Mimi and she literally handled everything (including working with my wonderful neighbors)! She coordinated all the vendors, and took care of any last minute repairs and fumigation. Because of her knowledge of native plants and water catchment systems, she was able to effectively market the green features of our home and encourage the buyers to see the value in them. She worked smoothly with the buyers’ agents, escrow company, etc and kept me appraised of any details that I needed to handle.One good example is that during the inspection our garage door suddenly stopped working. She found her favorite garage door guy who was able to open it, fix it, install a new lock to avoid a future lockout, adjust the sensors, and give her a new remote - and it was so inexpensive! Then she coordinated with my wonderful neighbor who rewired it so it would not happen again.Anyone who hires Mimi, especially if they have to leave quickly, wont need to worry about details - they can just hand her a key and she will solve any problems all while getting them the most money possible for their house. Everything worked out so smoothly, even when the first buyers backed out after one day! If you use Mimi for your sale or purchase, you won’t be disappointed!

Mylene Merlo made all the difference in the world in my home sale. Because of her knowledge, her experience, her skills, and her ability, our sale was more successful than we had hoped for or even thought was possible.Mylene eventually became first choice among several real estate agents and brokers I had on my short list. Because I had been a licensed realtor many years ago, and because I’d worked with a lot of buyer’s agents and seller’s agents over the years, I had some pretty demanding criteria I was looking for.But the fact is, I had never had the experience of working with anyone like Mylene. Her listing approach and the options she offered for me to consider were a huge factor in the eventual sale. Her marketing and representation was the result of a lot of wisdom and skill, just as it was in her ability to negotiate. And, in terms of preparing the home for market and listing, Mylene didn’t miss a thing.Throughout the entire process, her attention to detail and her communication was just way above and beyond expectations. There was literally not a single day, right up through the last day of escrow, that Mylene was not on top of things and taking care of business to make sure that everything went as it should – for me. I’m just really, really thankful for her. She is a very exceptional realtor.

Mylene helped me to sell my mothers house. At our first meeting she put me at ease by being friendly, listening to my concerns and having a calm and professional confidence.She immediately went to work and gave me a calendar of events, kept me updated and made everything go smoothly by staying on top of things. We had all documents signed, inspection and repairs done on schedule. Mylene even planted succulents in the front and back patios. She went above and beyond and worked hard to get the house sold.Even when the real estate market gave us a little surprise, as it happens, Mylene did quick assessment and made recommendation that brought a full offer the next weekend.I appreciated Mylenes professionalism and expertise and would call her again when I need a realtor.

Mylene recently referred me to a lender for a home mortgage refinance. Although she will not receive any compensation for this, Mylene provided me with support and advice throughout the entire refinance process by reviewing the proposed loan details, sending housing market info/comps, and answering any and every question I had along the way. Mylene sent periodic emails to see how things were going and to offer any additional help she might be able to provide. It is clear that Mylene truly enjoys her work and helping people. Mylene demonstrates a thorough and impressive knowledge of all aspects of real estate (such as the refinance process and loans in general, the local housing market, tax, insurance, etc.). In addition, Mylene is friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. I would hire Mylene if selling and/or purchasing a home in the future, and I recommend her to others without hesitation. Mylene is the “gold standard” for what a realtor should be.

Mylene was just great. She works with a great attitude. It was a smooth experience working with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a through, detailed, and diligent process, always keeping the buyer’s views in mind. – Very good know-how of the details, nuances of the home buying process. – She was very dedicated, took it into her own hands to get us the best deal possible. – Very articulate, and its great to see that she helps provide information about the home/interiors/history/area/place or any other specific details you may need. – Her response time was second to none. She worked her time around our schedule, every single time.

From start to close, this was the smoothest experience and process we have ever been through. Mylene performed her due diligence and presented us with a sheet that had all the costs as well profits. She then walked our home as if she were a potential buyer and provided us with recommendations prior to listing. I GUARANTEE you; you will sell your home quickly if you use her recommendations as we did. The outcome was phenomenal; her ability to market and get your house seen to ALL buyers was above remarkable. In the first hour of listing I couldn’t find a web site that our home wasn’t on. Within the first 24 hours we had 1 written offer and three more within 3 days. I like to say she sold our home on day 1. She will walk with you every step of the way through the process and give you daily feedback of how things are moving along with escrow. What separates her from other agents is she truly has your best interest in mind. She’s hard working, knows the market, keen sense of marketing her homes and a true gem to work with. Thanks you so much Mylene.

We sold our condo in Pacific Beach, and working with Mylene was the way to go.Unlike normal sellers, we were not interested in getting the property “sold in 3 days”; we had renters, and were making money, so we were happy waiting for the buyer most interested in our property to come to our price. I’ve been monitoring our own market for a while to sell at a price that I’m happy with, and she was clearly diligent and knowledgeable about the market, and she worked with us over time on price adjustments and on showing the place around the schedule of our renters.We live in another part of the state, and she was great in terms of providing recommendations for people to service the property, on arranging to have the garage door fixed, and on having the inspections take place. Her dedication and professionalism were second to none.As we find ourselves looking for property in San Diego going forward, we have continued to work with her. Couldn’t be happier.

We heard about Mylene through a co-worker who knew her through the Sierra Club. We were in the market for a home but we weren’t sure whom to turn to for help. Mylene was extremely helpful. She took time to explain the homebuying process to us, and gave us local market information. She even advised us regarding loan options. She wanted us to have the best agent possible, and because she didn’t specialize in the area where we were looking, she actually referred us to a broker who has lots of experience in our potential neighborhood. Adam did a great job, and we are grateful to Mylene for pointing us in the right direction and advising us so honestly and thoroughly.

Mylene is an expert Real Estate professional who made our selling transaction seamless from beginning to end. Our home sold for a record-high selling price in our subdivision beating out homes that had more square footage than ours. Mylene did a great job keeping us in the loop every step of the way and answering all of our questions. I highly recommend Mylene — she got us top dollar for our home in record time.

Mylene was recommended to my husband and I from a family friend. Best decision to work with her!We didn’t really have any knowledge of the home buying process or mortgages etc. and thought we would still need to save more for a down payment. Mylene explained the entire process to us, our options for the down payment and gave us worksheets to calculate the payment and property taxes. With Mylene’s help we found that we could buy a home a lot sooner than we thought possible. And she never tried to push us into anything. She always responded quickly to answer all my questions, and was very flexible with her schedule to look at properties.Once we found a home we loved, Mylene suggested we put in a low offer. I was nervous because I didn’t want another buyer to outbid us, but it paid off! The seller didn’t counter and we got the home below asking price and appraised higher than the asking price. Even after we moved in to our new home, Mylene answered questions I had on property taxes etc. They say buying a home is stressful, but Mylene really help ease the nerves and stress. I recommend her to all my friends that are thinking about buying a home!

Mylene, thank you for making the home selling and buying process enjoyable!I feel like you always went above and beyond being “just a realtor.” I truly appreciate all you did.You are an amazing realtor, friend and person!Chris and I will definitely be recommending you to friends, family, and strangers alike!Thank you!!Mylene Merlo has gone above and beyond in every aspect of both helping us buy and sell our home. She has made the whole process so incredibly easy and super fast! We sold our townhome in 2 days at the very highest number anyone in our neighborhood with our model had sold! Highly recommend her!!

Mylene is the GREATEST! She is very knowledgable about everything and was a great help to me through my home searching experience. She was always ready and willing to meet up with me at any property no matter where it was in the county. She is very accommodating and willing to work with you towards your goals. She is the sweetest person and I would recommend her to everyone looking for an agent in the San Diego area. Give her a call and meet up with her and you will know exactly what I am talking about.

Mylene is hands down the best realtor.I first called Mylene three years ago asking for help to know if we could afford a house. She helped me make a plan to get financially ready. One year later, we were ready to buy. We bought a starter home, a condo. Fast forward two years, and we were ready to sell our condo and move to a real home. Mylene was there for us again.I want to really emphasize how much she goes beyond what you would expect, in order to get you prepared for every contingency and to get you the best outcome. I felt fully prepared for every step of the process, and was able to contact her with any questions I had about things that inevitably popped up. I made full use of this to make sure I was not confused about anything.Finding the right home can be exhausting, but Mylene is there every step of the way. She encouraged us not to get discouraged and kept us looking so that we would know what we wanted when the time came. Then we found the perfect house for us. It fit us just right. She worked very hard to make sure our offer was the one accepted, and we bought our forever home.During the looking process, she worked way overtime to help us find a buyer for our condo. She coordinated with the buyer’s agent to keep the process as smooth for us as possible. Her people skills and communication skills are some of the best I’ve ever seen.I really can’t put into words how much she does. She is exhaustive in her efforts to assist your process of buying or selling your home. There are just all these little things that Mylene takes care of, that you would never think of yourself.Don’t look anywhere else for a realtor. If you are Buying or Selling, she’s your best option. Very highly recommended.

We would highly recommend Mylene for any real estate needs. We worked with her on the sale of two properties, and both times she exceeded our expectations.Her knowledge, diligence and determination made the process super smooth and easy. She was able to help us decide on the correct sales price, quickly obtain multiple offers at above asking price, take care of the inspections and repairs through her expert contractor referrals, aggressively work with the appraiser, and complete the transaction leaving us and the buyers very happy.Other realtors may be good, but you can’t do better than Mylene

Mylene is an incredible agent and even better person. Buying a home in this market can be an intense and stressful process, especially for the first-time buyers. With not much else, Mylene became our main asset in the pursuite of our dream house. She is 100% knowledgeable, always available, always ready to act, always positive and encouraging. She knew exactly what we were looking for and helped us stay focused on our priorities and not to rush into purchase we would regret out of discouragement and pressure of the hot market in San Diego. But with a right house from the moment we’ve submitted the offer, Mylene would be in contact with the seller’s agent, advocating on our behalf, helping us to build up the counter offer tailored to seller’s needs. With her amazing communication skills, Mylene got not one, but two of our offers accepted (we backed out of the first contract the very next day after it was accepted because OUR house became for sale). She was with us through the entire process of purchasing our dream house taking care of every single aspect. Mylene has all resources and recommendation from lender, to home inspector, to home insurance, to handyman. She always had our best interest as highest priority. We would absolutely recommend Mylene to our friends, co-workers, anyone and everyone.

I thought selling our condo was going to be tough. We had no idea where to begin, then we met Mylene Merlo. With her commitment and tireless, and I mean tireless hard work, we sold our condo in 9 days! What a pleasure to work with her. Gracious, diligent, she made the whole process look effortless. Thank you Mylene, you’re amazing!

We want to express our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to you for your help in buying our first home! We could not have done it without you. Your professionalism, efficiency, helpfulness and kindness are unsurpassed.Also, thank you for the Home Depot card! We will certainly use this to spruce things up in our new home. You’ll have to come visit when we finish remodeling! Again, thank you for thinking of us and putting your heart into your work.

My husband and I had almost given up on our dream of home ownership after having worked unsuccessfully with four other realtors over the past few years.Then Mylene entered the picture, and what a breath of fresh air she was!She truly listened to what we wanted and was able, through patience, determination, and hard work, to allow us to succeed in reaching our goal. She offered advice, but didn’t pressure. She offered encouragement when we were discouraged. Her knowledge and organization, during each step, saw us through the long process of making the offer, negotiations, home inspection, loan application, and closing. She is an absolute jewel!Without a doubt, we would recommend her services to anyone who is looking to purchase a home.

I bought my home in 2001, and refinanced several times during the “great real estate boom of the mid 2000’s”. Fast forward to 2014 with super low interest rates, and there I was locked into a conventional high interest 40 year loan, complete with a large monthly payment. After trying for months and being told that I was not eligible for any of the refinance programs available due to the type of load I had, and being upside down, I felt doomed.Mylene assured me that there was light at the end of the tunnel, and she would work on getting me there. After working with her contacts in the industry, and remaining steadfast, she put me in contact with a very experienced mortgage banker who was able to help me.Thanks to consulting with Mylene, where others had told me that there was no way out, I am now in a 30 year fixed loan below 4.00 %, and am enjoying a mortgage payment that is back down to the original 2001 mortgage amount!If results are what you need, Mylene is the person who will get them for you.

My fiance and I began our home search with a three-year plan. Thanks to Mylene’s knowledge and care, we were able to find our home in less than two months!Mylene was so supportive and hardworking through the whole process. We were nervous like any other first-time home buyers, but she continued to listen to our worries and reassured us every step of the way.She is kind, family-oriented, hardworking and honest, and now a great friend!Thank you, Mylene, for all that you did for our little family. We are so blessed and thankful for you. We will continue to refer Mylene to all our friends and family because she is someone special.

Mylene was recommended to us by friends. We approached Mylene as first time home buyers with loads of questions and a good amount of apprehension given the magnitude of the task (especially during a pandemic).Mylene was just awesome. She guided us through the entire process of buying our first home and we could not have imagined a better experience. She educated us throughout searching for homes, provided us with tips and anticipated pitfalls, explained the intricacies of offers and inspections, and disambiguated the escrow process. She did all this while accommodating our hectic work schedules.She was organized, punctual, and provided excellent cheatsheets for home-buying calculations! She was invested in having us learn about home ownership so that we made and will continue to make informed decisions. This was particularly important to us as newbies.Not only did she help us get the perfect home, we feel confident in knowing what to expect in the future too. We hope we will get to work with Mylene in the future!

Mylene saved us so much time. Mylene is wonderful. She made our first home purchase a breeze. She spelled out how the process would work and what to expect. When she said something would happen, it would. Shes always on time, always on her game. Down for a good laugh too! Consider taking advantage of her referrals (mortgage broker, home inspection, landscaper, handyman, etc). We did and have been very pleased. Saved time here too.

Mylene is so very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. Even though she could not help me the first time I attempted to buy my first home, when I was ready... she is the person that I wanted to help me through the process again. Mylene goes above and beyond in helping a new home owner through the process. I highly recommend her.

Mylene was my agent when I placed my condo for sale in 2018. Her recommendations regarding pricing, staging etc were spot on and negotiation skills were superb. She also has an excellent network of handymen, stagers, parts-sellers and so on.Thanks to her hard work, acumen and sage advice, making decisions proved easy and I did not vacillate among options at any time during the process. I am grateful to her for removing all hurdles and securing a just price for the property in quick time.For most of us, our residence is probably the biggest investment of our lives to date and therefore selling it will be the biggest financial decision we make. With Mylene on your side you can rest easy.

First off, Mylene (Mimi) was recommended by a friend who had amazing things to say about her.At the time, I was actually in conversation with a few other realtors and was still evaluating.Just one call with Mimi, I instantly knew, I found the one who will help me find my dream home. We met the next day and she briefed us right from the basics, as we were buying a home for the first time. She is a bundle of energy and is always excited to show us all the listings possible.There was a day we saw about 6 homes. She tirelessly, patiently shows us around, without any apprehension or biases. She knows her stuff, from basic finance questions to evaluating prices for various areas, and the history and the geography of real estate. Her passion and candidness makes the process even more fun and comfortable. If you really like a house, she will make sure it’s yours, no matter what!Bottom line, Mimi is a “Get it done” person and pretty much researches and almost has answers to all your questions, including solar panels to vastu and aesthetics. Buying a house? You are in great hands, rest assured!

I have sold 3 homes with Mylene as my agent. She made the process so easy and it was the best selling experience. She has very professional people come in to do the photos so that your home is shown to its full potential. She also has stagers that can turn your home into a showroom for any potential buyers. She takes care of any potential issues quickly and efficiently, and makes sure that you are kept fully in the loop throughout the whole process.

I wanted to write this review for an amazing agent and even better person. Mylene is a professional in the truest sense of the word, her determination and attention to detail are unparalleled in the industry. My family and I have purchased 2 homes in San DIego (Vista, Carlsbad) and both times Mylene has been our agent. When we met her during our first home purchase we were blown away by how relentlessly she moves the process along, if youve ever purchased a home before then you know what I mean. The difference between relentless and just trying to make a commission are evident immediately. Every question I had was answered within an hour during the 2-3 months of house searching she helped us with. A phone call, email or text was all that was needed to get her full attention. She pushed the process forward at every step whether that was pursuing various agents or letting us know exactly what step we were at in the process or if any items required our actions.The whole thing went smooth and we were so happy and grateful for her help.When we bought our second house it wasnt even a question of who wed use as a real estate agent. We did an aggressive 21 day escrow on the second home and she was once again the leader of the process, guiding us along and making sure every person involved knew their roles, responsibilities and deadlines. I recommend her services to anyone considering a new home in San Diego. Her work ethic, local knowledge, integrity and insider info make her the ideal agent. She truly wants the best for her clients. Her always positive disposition and kind heart make the ideal person to help you start a new life off right. Thank you Mylene for everything the past eight years! .-Dudley Family

It was an extreme pleasure to work with Mylène. She’s a diligent agent who thoroughly understands time sensitive matters. Amiable, gracious and bright, Mylène is the epitome of what one should strive to portray in real estate. I have much admiration for her work ethic and high moral standards. I trusted both her sound logic and warm nature. Found the perfect property for our family. It’s not just a house, it’s a home. Couldn’t be happier! Highly recommended.

Both of my parents were realtors, so I was very aware of how complicated it can be to sell a house. Mylene impressed me with how she is a hands on person, and gets things done fast. She was helpful before we signed with her, and was helpful after our house sold. Mylene went the extra mile for us. And.... our house sold fast! I would highly recommend her to my friends.

Mylene is an A+++ realtor to work with. She was very patient and almost immediately developed a sense of what we were looking for in our forever home. Her commitment to provide excellent and professional service went above and beyond what my wife and I expected. I highly recommend her without any hesitation.

We contacted Mylene when we opened escrow on a property in the desert and needed to sell our Lemon Grove house right away. It was 2 weeks before Christmas and we didnt know if it would happen.Mylene came over right away, had pictures taken, flyers printed, and the house was listed in the MLS within a week. We had competing offers and Mylene negotiated a really good deal for us and opened escrow only one week later! She oversaw the whole escrow process and answered all of our questions. What could easily have been a stressful situation turned into a smooth experience.If you want to get your home sold quickly and smoothly, we definitely recommend Mylene-she will negotiate the best deal for you.

Over the years, my wife and I have purchased six homes, both condos and houses, and fortunately for our most recent transaction, we found Mylene. She is the most knowledgeable and conscientious realtor we have ever worked with. We recommend her to you without reservation.

I don’t know how to say all the good things I can about Mylene.Is she smart? Absolutely. But even better than that, she’s good at helping YOU understand the process and can answer every one of your questions, whether it’s your first house or your tenth. She’s done every kind of real estate deal, so your situation is no problem for her.Is Mylene experienced? No doubt. But more than that, she knows the market and gives a LOT of consideration to your goals. She also has contacts with all the best people who help make the process a million times easier – loan officers, escrow companies, notaries. Mylene keeps all those moving parts straight, which makes the process so much easier for a client who’s in the middle of moving.Will she work harder than you at selling or buying your place? Completely. But she also makes you feel like you’re her only client. No matter what time of day or what question I had, Mylene was always up to speed and never had to be reminded of anything. She’s also great at communicating with other agents, which helps you buy or sell your place faster.On top of everything, Mylene is kind and easy to talk to. She helps you feel good about these big, expensive decisions. She is the type of professional you want to tell everyone about. She’s the expert you can call about anything to do with real estate, and she’ll probably know the answer or figure it out within a few minutes.I absolutely cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I am finally a San Diego homeowner!I just want to say now I did nothing during this whole process. ALL the credit goes to the BEST real estate person, Mylene Merlo, I could ever have been blessed to meet. She tirelessly and diligently did all the work, pressed and pressured the other side to get things done, at times even doing their job, and sacrificed much of her time to finally find a home for me! Thank you Mylene, you are extremely appreciated and I can honestly say I would not have wanted to go this battle without you.(Bellator)Also, big thank you to your husband for giving up a lot of time & many weekends to get me to this point! I don’t really know what else to say to express my gratitude for everything! I have and will refer you to any and all I can!I’d also like to thank Nick Richardson, you are an amazing loan officer, my friend, and thank you for doing ALL the things you did for me during the process! Just a thank you to all involved, I am humbled and blessed to be where I am! God bless to all of you!HM1 James Rauch

A good friend of mine referred us to Mylene Merlo, who proved to be one of the sweetest and most helpful people we’ve ever met. Mylene not only wholeheartedly listened to everything we had to say, but she formed an open relationship where we felt comfortable calling and texting her throughout the whole process.Mylene made us her priority, put in the work checking comparisons, and talking to other realtors to help us find our dream home. Being brand new home buyers, she understood the education gap, and quickly helped us learn all the lingo, and never let us go without understanding anything. Not only did Mylene help us find our dream home, she vouched for us and got us everything we wanted from the seller. Her friendly demeanor and fierce persuasions turned a terrifying decision into an awesome experience. I highly recommend Mylene because she truly goes the extra mile to take care of you.

Mylene is one of the best real estate agents that I have ever worked with. As she states in her web page, she is much more than an agent- she is definitiely a consultant who goes far above her agent duties. When selling my house, she gave me great advice that helped me to stage my house that resulted in a very quick sale (in escrow within 7 days of listing the house for sale)! She also went way above her agent duties. Being single, working full-time, and not being in the best of health, I had so much to do to get ready to sell the house (staging, packing, etc.). Mylene was so kind to help me in getting the outside areas (entrance and patio) to look great, which allowed the potential buyers to envision themselves there. As a result of her great staging advice and help, we had a very short time that I actually had to show the property, which I am very grateful for. We had multiple offers on my house!Having a professional, experienced agent makes a whole world of difference during the whole real estate process. I am so thankful she has such great experience and knows what she is doing! On the other hand, my buyer’s agent appeared to be very inexperienced and requested unreasonable repairs (brand new water heater when the current one was working fine), Mylene always was such a professional dealing with the other agent and she did a great job in helping me not the feel the impact of the buyer’s agent being so inexperienced. In fact, I am sure she taught the other agent a few good lessons!I also feel she always had my best interests in mind when advising me on various real estate issues. Since I was so happy with Mylene’s services on selling my house, I am also having Mylene help me buy a new home. The place I was interested in really needed a lot of updates. Mylene informed me of an option that I never knew was available to me – a purchase with a renovation loan. This program will allow me to buy the new place and make the necessary updates so that it will be move-in ready and I will have a lovely new home. She also suggested that I get the appraisal first before the home inspection just in case there were appraisal issues. I would have saved the home inspection costs if the appraisal had not worked out.I am so happy I found Mylene to help me with my home sale and purchase. She always responds to emails/texts/calls in a very timely manner (she even responds to my late night email/text questions) and she is so friendly! I highly recommend her service

We recently purchased our new home with the help of Mylene Merlo.Mylene was the perfect choice to walk us through every step of buying a new home.We appreciated her flexibility with scheduling viewings, her ability to navigate the negotiating process professionally and effectively in a competitive market.As older buyers, we were especially thankful for her attention to details. We felt confident in the buying process knowing she was checking all our documentation. She alerted us to hidden repair costs and documentation errors, which resulted in a significant saving.She provided us with a detailed closing calendar and texted with reminders all throughout the process.I would without reservation recommend Mylene Merlo for your real estate needs.We are so thankful we did.I would highly recommend you read thru her blogposts, too. Very informative information about solar, property taxes, scams.

When we decided to sell our home we interviewed 4 realtors – 2 full service and 2 discount – and Mylene was by far the most professional and well prepared of those we met with.While several of the potential agents pointed out the same factors that they based their recommended selling price on, she brought up several additional selling points which showed to us that she had really thought thru how she would sell our home and that she had worked to put together her presentation to us.Based on this, we chose her to sell the house. We have purchased several homes in the past, but this was our first time selling. Once we went with a full service broker, we decided to “turn over” the process to Mylene and followed her lead on pricing strategy and negotiation. She did not disappoint. She brought the same drive, focus and attention to detail to selling our home as she did to securing our listing. Mylene had a strong network of supporting vendors – stager, handyman, etc – to help us prepare our house for sale and coordinated with them, communicating clearly and frequently, making the preparation turn key for us.By the time the listing was ready to go live, the house presented significantly better than when we had purchased it just 3 years before. Once the listing went live, she kept us constantly informed and updated. We had 2 days of open houses the first weekend of the listing, and this is where she really hit it out of the park.I have attended open houses as a prospective buyer, and usually the selling rep at the home is very non descript, offering some generic information on the home and the circumstances of the sale. Mylene WORKED IT. First off, she attended herself, not passing it off to a junior agent. Plus, she brought in easel cards with information about amenities in the development and the surrounding area. During the open house she was actively selling in a friendly way while potential buyers were at the house.Coming off the first day of the open house, we had 2 offers – both at or above asking price – and a couple other interested buyers. Mylene quickly formulated a counter offer strategy and pushed the offers up. By the time we signed an agreement, she had secured a record high sale price $16k over an aggressive list price and $5K over any other house in our development, including several recent sales of larger floor plan models.Once in Escrow, Mylene smoothly guided the sale to close, despite a selling agent who was not super engaged in the process. Every step of the way, she kept us informed and had a well thought out recommendation on how we should tackle any challenges. She even provided us checklist and reminders of things to think about as we prepared to move.Working with Mylene was a pleasure. As a bonus, by the time we finished, our net proceeds from the sale was higher than what we would have gotten from the highest sale price any of the discount brokers had proposed, even with their reduced commissions. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a listing agent to sell their home.

Being first-time homebuyers, my wife Sara and I were anxious about purchasing our first home, especially after having had a bad experience with a different realtor the year before. Right from the beginning, Mylene calmed our fears and held our hands through every step of the buying process.Mylene proved to be everything we hoped for: honest, attentive, knowledgeable, and willing to “go to bat” for us. As first time homebuyers, we couldn’t help but wear our inexperience on our sleeve and Mylene quickly stepped in to protect our interests, refusing to let us be taken advantage of. She helped us find the home we truly wanted and never pressured us to settle for something that we wouldn’t love living in. She also connected us to an awesome loan officer who was equally as attentive, knowledgeable, and truly took the time to look at our financial position to find the right kind of loan for us. There’s nothing better than feeling you can trust and lean on people handling this huge transaction for you.All in all, Mylene is an amazing resource for any homebuyer. She answered every question we had, translated the legal mumbo jumbo into layman’s terms that we could understand, communicated next steps and reminders on a daily/weekly basis, and took on all aspects of the homebuying process. We always felt taken care of and in good hands. We would definitely recommend Mylene again and it’s nice to know that we’ve found our realtor for life.

Our friends highly recommend Mylene, and we were very excited to meet her and enter the fast-moving San Diego housing market in October.For the first meeting, with no information from us, Mylene came prepared with 3 different housing range options. We were highly impressed by how professional and efficient she was.We felt so enlightened just from the first meeting and learnt so much about the process which helped us set a realistic budget taking into account all the costs and efforts involved in buying a house.Mylene was always very organized and very responsive while helping us select houses for viewing, preparing and setting up tours, and at the end evaluating high and low points of houses we toured. We toured for only 2 weeks before we found the house we wanted to make our home.We toured the house in the evening and the same night Mylene ran the pricing analysis, arranged a call and gave us an accurate bidding range. Within the next hour, we had submitted our offer.That’s how much she is on top of things. And in a market where houses are selling within the first week of listing, that becomes quintessential. She also made sure we had all documents ready before we started touring, which came in handy to make a quick offer.Within the week, through her expert negotiations, we were able to finalize the price after a few back and forth at the price we initially bid for, and open escrow.The next day, we had a timetable with critical deadlines and appointments to fix with recommended personnels. This, along with constant guidance and friendly prodding, helped us close escrow in 15 days.Within 4 weeks of meeting Mylene, she helped us buy our dream home, and through the process became a good friend who is always welcome whenever she feels like having palak paneer.Buying your first home is a really stressful process, but having Mylene on your side makes it seem less stressful, and even enjoyable! We tell our friends, introducing Mylene is the best gift they have ever given us. If you are reading this to choose a realtor, do yourself a favor and choose the very best Mylene!

Mylene is so so helpful, she helped me to get my dream house, she is so friendly and sweet.
