Jefi Moultrie

Highly recommend Jefi and her team! They did a great job getting our La Mesa home sold and pulled off a real estate miracle by helping get both the sale and the new purchase to close escrow on the same day!

There are not enough nice things I can say about Jefi and her team! They were absolutely wonderful to work with. In late January, we had heard about a job transfer for my husband and I started looking for realtors to list our house. I had no idea what the market was like, and how quickly or slowly the house will sell, so I was quite worried. I looked online for some agents and had no idea what I was looking for. I reached out to my neighbour who sold their house a couple of years ago, and she highly recommended Jefi. I contacted her and quickly got set up with a meeting. She did a walk through, and sat down to talk with us, asking us what we felt the house was worth, and what we would like to sell it for, and what she thought we could sell it for. We had originally thought we'd be happy with about $420k since a similar home sold for 428k the year before, but had a few things we didn't have. She gave us comps and suggested we list between 450 and 475k. We trusted her expertise and went with it. I set to cleaning/packing up the house to make it show ready, hired a cleaner, but the plans fell through, and Jefi helped me book a great one ASAP, just in time for the pictures. Within about a week, our house was up on the market, (I believe Feb 2nd), and decided the open house would be the week after, on the 10th. However, we didn't even make it there, and had requests for showings the very next day. We had 4 showings within 3 days, and offers right away. We accepted an offer within a week for 460k and just went with it. There were minor hiccups through the process, with buyer's requests, and whatnot, which in the midst of moving to another state, felt overwhelming, but Jefi was there helping us with everything. She referred us to agents in the state we were moving to, and even worked with our buying agent and our the selling agent of our new house, keeping everyone apprised of the status of our sale. She is quick, responsive, decisive, and kept me from freaking out too much, which is no easy task. She made this entire process super smooth. I cannot recommend her enough. Furthermore, her team Jamie and Jack, were always there to help answer questions. Every document or addendum that needed signing, or questions that needed answering, were completed promptly and thoroughly. A huge THANK YOU to Jefi and her amazing team.

A true advocate for her clients! She not only held together my sale in California but helped hold together the one I had here. Thank you!

Where do I even begin when recommending Jefi and her real estate team? A Yelp review will never fully express the outstanding performance Jefi and her team did for my family. I will try my best here, but if you don't like long detailed reviews and just want the gist of it. Then don't hesitate a second to hire Jefi to sell your home! It will be the best real estate and personal finance decision you will ever make. She is a true professional that backs up her word with hard work, dedication, honesty, integrity and style. A combination of qualities not commonly found in the real estate industry. Jefi exceeded all of our expectations. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jefi to my family, friends or any potential sellers/buyers in the market today.Here is our story:When we were ready to sell our home, we initially gravitated towards Redfin. We liked their lower commissions and they claimed to sell your house faster and for more money vs. a traditional agent. Redfin seemed like the best fit on paper.Our house was in Lakeside, so we met with Redfin's "East County Specialist". Let's just say her name is C.B. C.B. stopped by and toured our house. We then all sat down and she started to list all of the negatives about our house! She said that we didn't have granite countertops, we didn't have stainless steel appliances, we didn't have grass, we didn't have a pool, etc... our house just didn't. C.B. went on to explain to us that our house based on recent comps and current condition should sell and be listed for $560k. We told her that our Redfin Online Estimate was currently at $624k. Plus, our house had a very unique contemporary design, lots of natural light, vaulted ceilings, Italian marble tile flooring, huge kitchen etc.. We also took 3 months to clean, renovate, update, and stage the house into showroom condition. We definitely put skin in the game, so in our gut, we believed the house was worth closer to $600k. C.B. insisted that the comps don't lie and that buyers want granite countertops and newer appliances, end of story.Needless to say, the meeting didn't go as we had imagined. Even her manager reviewed our property and he also agreed with her, "Your house is only worth $560k and will sell at max for $580k!" My wife and I decided that Redfin wasn't the right fit. So, we never listed with them. I immediately jumped on Yelp, found Jefi and setup a meeting. Jefi and her business partner, Joe O'Meara arrived at our home. When they toured the house, it was like night and day vs. Redfin. It was a productive meeting full of possibilities, ideas, and experience. Jefi's positive attitude and confidence shined. We discussed our negative experience with Redfin. Jefi asked us, "What's your magic number?" We told her $600k but were almost embarrassed to say after what happened with Redfin. We talked about all the unique qualities of the house and why we believed it was worth more. Jefi said with full confidence, "Let's go for it!" Right there and then, my wife and I knew that Jefi was the right person for our project. Someone that actually listens and treats their client like a client and not just a number. We signed and we all agreed to list in a range for $600k - $624k.In no time, Jefi had started a marketing plan for our property. There is a lot of strategy and experience in how Jefi allocates her time and dollars to market your house. Jefi really builds up momentum for your most critical, first week on the market and a big open house showing. There are many moving parts when selling a home. It can be very time consuming to accommodate all the viewings, appraisals, inspections etc.. Jefi is a great coordinator. She is always transparent and communicative about her process and very respectful for your time as a seller. Which meant a lot to us, with three kids and a newborn baby.And guess what? In only a week, we accepted an offer for $620k! Plus, the buyer's bank even appraised our house for $620k. When Redfin follows the comps, Jefi leads and makes the comps. We were the new high comp for the neighborhood! That is how you sell a house!It doesn't end there. Our buyers' buyers, dropped out last minute. Our home sale was contingent on the sale of their house. Now with their house with no buyer, we thought it was over. Did Jefi panic? Nope, she didn't even flinch. She rolled up her sleeves and helped our buyer and their agent sell their house. She helped them find another buyer in less than two weeks! Jefi even worked with our buyer's, buyer's agent and loan officers to make sure the deal moved smoothly through escrow. It was incredible. I watched her basically sell two houses to close our deal. Jefi deserved double commission for the work she did.Thank you Jefi for all your hard work, believing in us and our project. Through all the ups and downs, you stayed positive with an unrelenting professional work ethic. You exceeded all our expectations. Our family will be forever grateful to you. Thank you Jefi!!!

To start i would say that if i could give 10 stars, i would ! What else to add ? :)When time came to contact a real estate agent, i looked on Yelp and picking up Jefi was not difficult due to the # of exceptional reviews she has on that site. Even though i sent her a message on a Sunday she responded almost immediately. When we met (with Joe O'Meara, Jefi's business partner) i let both know about my previous experience with a realtor when we bought our home, experience that was pretty negative in matter of time and process. I also let them know about my last quality "patience" ... not to say that i have none ! Ah ah.The dialogue between us was straightforward which is a something that i value. We had to work on some aspect of our home to make it valuable on the market and Jefi and her team took care of every single steps from contacting a contractor, following up on the progress, etc.Our home was put on the market a Thursday, we had an open house on Saturday the same week and an offer 10 days later. The whole process went fast, smooth and was dealt with professionalism and courtesy. What else to ask for ? Everybody can understand from the above that if i had to deal with a real estate agent again it would be Jefi ... As we are relocating abroad that will surely not happen, unfortunately. But be sure that if we could take such an efficient realtor with us, we would :)I cannot end this review without mentioning Jamie and Jack from Thrive Real Estate whose contact / service / etc. are on the same level of quality than Jefi and Joe.

If there were 10 stars available, Jefi would have 10 stars!!!! She is committed, hard working, accurate, creative, honest, and has real estate savvy. Jefi has always been available and has a very efficient team that makes sure all paper work is done promptly. We have had her represent us in several real estate transactions and an MLS business sale and I can honestly say we would not want anyone else representing us.

Jefi is the awesome! She and Joe sold our home in La Mesa and were amazing from start to finish. She's so friendly, totally professional and extremely knowledgeable. She gave us great guidance throughout the process and was there to answer questions and give advice as needed - never ever pushy. She was always available when we had questions or concerns and was great at getting us answers in a timely and thorough manner. Our home sold after only about 4 days (one weekend of open houses). We are soooo happy we had Jefi representing us! Thank you so much Jefi!

I just completed my third successful real estate transaction with Jefi. That alone should speak for itself. Everything Jefi says Jefi does. First and foremost she has her clients best interests as her priority. She's going to give you her honest opinion on everything, value, financing, appraisal, resale or whatever and never waiver just from what the market will support. Do yourself a favor and contact Jefi!!

Jefi and her team were so great to work with! I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and sold my condo in Spring Valley, so as you can imagine, it's not as easy when living so far away. Jefi and her team made it easy! We flew down to assess the condo before putting it on the market and Jefi brought someone who could help me with the repairs. I received multiple bids and his price was the best, and he was able to do everything. This made things really easy for me since I didn't have to work with multiple contractors. Once the work was complete, we put my condo on the market and received a great offer in the first 24 hours it was on the market! We immediately went into escrow and closed last week. Throughout the whole process, Jefi and her team kept me updated on the progress, were great explaining things to me that I didn't understand, and I felt that they truly cared throughout the whole process. I was always able to get in touch with Jefi and she was quick to respond. If you are looking for an agent who is thorough, caring, and who understands the business...look no further! Jefi and her team will take great care of you!

Where should I start? Meeting Jefi was a blessing to our family. She was the realtor of the buyer who purchased our short sale. I was very dissatisfied with my listing agent and knew right away that I want Jefi to by my realtor when I am ready to buy again. She is definitely one of a kind. She is very personable, caring, attentive and a beautiful person inside out. She isn't my realtor, she is a person I call our family now. Escrow closed yesterday and I couldn't be more satisfied about this stressful process. Jefi was a pro. Not only she had to deal with my "stinken" attitude for being so stress throughout this process, she actually tried her very best to make sure we did not give up and keep pushing thru. She knows what is best for you and your family. She was very particular of the neighborhoods we were looking at and wanted to make sure our family are in a safe environment. She minimized our search and was very flexible towards our schedule to view houses. Boy, I can't remember exactly how many houses we viewed before we got lucky with the house we purchased. Trust me it wasn't easy, but she MADE it look so easy with her experience of real estate and made it happened for us. Jefi, thank you again for everything. I still can't believe we own our beautiful home!!

Returning to California after many years....it was challenging to be on a long-distance search for what we hope is our last home purchase. Over the past 14 months, Jefi never tired in her quest to find us the home of our dreams, answer our questions, meet us at the airport at a moments notice....(you get the idea...). If there was a ten-star rating, she definitely earned it! Such a pleasure to work with....her entire staff is a class-act team! Don't look any further than Jefi!!

Wow! What can I say? Rather, what CAN'T I say about Jefi's complete and overall professionalism? My sister and her family were relocating here from out of state. I knew there would be some unique challenges and snafus due to the long distance nature of the home purchase. I did not hesitate for one moment to recommend Jefi to my sister....and...as ALWAYS, Jefi delivered! I am always very cautious about recommending anyone for anything but Jefi is a huge exception to that rule. Whether you have a relatively easy and straight-forward sale/purchase to make or you have something more convoluted and out-of-the-ordinary, Jefi will handle it ALL without a hesitation or "hiccup". With the thousands of realtors available in San Diego County Jefi rises about the rest. Of course, in the litigious world we live in no one does business on a handshake anymore BUT, that being said, Jefi is the person you could still do that with. She is a woman of her word, a joyful spirit, and the consumate professional. Thank you, Jefi, for getting my sister and her family back to the west coast where they belong! You're the best!!

There are realtors and there are people. Jefi is that rare breed: she's both. Good people. She's actually a real human realtor! She cares about putting us in homes we really really want to live in. I'm probably one of her worst clients: super picky. She doesn't mind! This is the third property I'm looking to buy in the past couple decades, and I'd prefer not to be hasty. I don't have to buy right away, I want to pick just the right place to finally settle down in. She has accommodated my style completely: I'm busy like everyone else, so she gets my attention for a property only if she thinks it might be The One. In fact, if I were speed dating for houses, I would want to land on this realtor, because she has great instincts and insight about people and places and could get me something in a pinch, if need be, and I know it would be a happy house hookup for my washer and dryer.I met Jefi when we were both volunteering for a community activity. I liked her immediately. She became my realtor in one effortless conversation, just like that, because I was just sort of wondering about MAYBE moving some day, and she laughingly agreed to my terms of being slow and picky. Like I said, a real person. I know she can move fast: I was almost ready to nibble on a property the other day and without my asking she had cleared time for me in case I wanted to make an offer. But no pressure. No cold, hard sale. Just: available. Which is pretty cool, and exactly what I need. She knows her stuff, and I also know she follows through with her clients even after a sale is done, because she's knowledgeable and loaded with resources. Wherever I land, I know I can count on her to keep being that warm, kind, real human realtor long past the dotted line.

I was in desperate need to get rid of a piece of property that wasn't working out for me financially.I needed a quick sell and a professional realtor that could take care business.I found Jefi on yelp and give her a call. She came over to my place with her team immediately to assess the situation and put together a plan to find the right buyer for the house.Jefi really knows what she's doing, she's knowledgeable, resourceful, and was always available for any questions or concerns I had.She sold the property for the price I wanted. I'm already using her to find my next property.I highly recommend Jefi to anyone who is looking for a realtor that is professional, extremely dedicated, and attentive.

Jefi is the ultimate professional! She knows exactly the right marketing strategies, knows the most reliable contractors, inspectors, and escrow agents to lead folks through the sale process, and she is so personable to top it off. She sold the home of our parents, and when it came time to sell our own, we considered no other realtor!

Jefi is a true professional. She is honest, hardworking, and knows the ins and outs of the real estate business. She sold me the house of my dreams, and also sold my house for the asking price within the first 2 hours it was listed! Who could ask for more? But there is more! She helped with every aspect of my sale, repairs, and moving. She is friendly, empathetic, and highly competent. A+++

If you looking for a real estate professional who listens, is honest, highly knowledgable of market conditions, and gives "Nordstrom" level customer service, then Jefi and team is your best choice. She represented us as listing agent for our family trust in the sale of the long time family home with respect and attention to detail. The overall transaction was well managed, with timely communication and proper levels of "hand holding" when needed. I would use Jefi, Joe, and team again.
