Joel Blumenfeld

I want to give a HUGE thank you to Joel Blumenfeld! Our house sat on the market for over 2 months with our first realtor. Within 2 hours of Joel listing it we received 2 great offers! We just closed escrow and sold it above asking price. Joel you have (and still are) going beyond what are expectations are. Your professionalism and dedication has not gone unnoticed! Thank you So Much!!!

Joel is a good person and a great real estate agent. He marketed my home well and worked with me and the other agents to get my home sold and escrow closed in less than three weeks. I could not be more pleased with Joel Blumenfeld as a real estate professional. I definitely recommend him.

Joel helped us sell a home in a tight market at exactly the price range we wanted. Throughout the whole process, he was diligent, professional, and explained all of our options carefully and thoroughly. It was a real pleasure working with him and would 100% recommend using his knowledge and expertise for your real estate needs.

Joel Blumenfeld is an outstanding real estate professional in every way. Joel is considerate, polite, careful, throughout, responds almost instantaneously to all emails, texts, and phone calls, and is exceedingly creative and thoughtful in presenting the home. He does all his own open houses and never farms it out to another agent. Although our house was new construction and every potential buyer loved the house, there was an extenuating issue in the neighborhood that was a potential problem for buyers. Joel looked at every possible way to find buyers that this was not a problem for and who could see what a great value the home was beyond the temporary neighborhood issue. The home took many months to sell for this reason and we became very discouraged and were going to take off the market, but Joel was never negative or discouraged he always believed that every home had the perfect new owner and we just had to be patient. At the same time our neighbor was trying to sell her home and had same neighbor issue. Her agent was recommending drastically reducing the price for a quick sale but when time came to renew agreement she choose to go with Joel instead. He ended up selling both our homes within just days of each other. We live out of town and my neighbor is elderly so Joel went out of his way to help with the final details and the sells went through quickly without any issues or delays. The smoothest sell transaction any of us had ever experienced and that is saying a lot in todays markets. We recommend Joel Blumenfeld without the slightest reservation and would use him again. Indeed wish we could use him where we currently live!

Overall it was a pleasure to work with Joel. I very much appreciated hearing from Joel (via phone and email) in the evenings and on the weekends when I needed to communicate rather than when it was convenient for Joel. The extra effort to keep a high level of communication was very much appreciated. Joel was also very flexible when working with the management company I was using. I live on the east coast and didnt have time to manage things in detail and Joel understood my situation made things work. Lastly Joel was spot on when it came to recognizing a buyer that was not serious or lacked the resources to fulfill the sale. This insight was valuable to me as a vacant house not sold is money out the door.

We first spoke with Joel when he was assigned to us through a home buyer program at our credit union. We were a little nervous working with someone we didn't know, but the nerves quickly disappeared after meeting Joel. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about San Diego and the real estate in the area, but he also understands how stressful and confusing everything can be when buying your first home. He took time to explain things to us, helped us figure out what we really wanted in a house and always made himself available for whatever we needed. He was great to work with and would recommend him to anyone who needs a realtor.

Joel has helped me purchase and sell properties across San Diego county for investment purposes for the last few years. He has done a very impressive job. I received top dollar each time and sold quickly. He is always available for questions and has worked very hard. I would highly recommend!

If you want to have a real estate agent helping you to buy the right house in the San Diego market, that person is Joel Blumenfeld. His knowledge of the market is both, broad and deep at all levels. He is quick to respond and in many cases anticipate your needs. He provides unbiased advise to help you decide in the purchasing process. In addition to it, he has excellent people and negotiation skills while dealing with sellers. Joel also has a superb network of highly qualified and reliable professionals that can assist you in the process of purchasing your house, such as inspectors, handymen, contractors, appraisers, etc. Joel understands the local market so well that he is able to assess present value of a property, as well as to anticipate its potential future value with impressive accuracy. I highly recommend Joel as the agent of choice for helping you buy your perfect home, especially in a competitive environment as the San Diego metropolitan area. If I was to ever buy another property in San Diego, I know who to call to help me: Joel Bumenfeld. GM.

We had a long list of wants in a new home and a strict budget. Joel helped us navigate the process from beginning to end with patience, professionalism, honesty, and diligence. He makes you feel like you're his only client and his only goal is to find you the perfect home. And he did! And the process was seamless. Joel is by far the real estate professional you want to work with if you are looking to purchase a home in San Diego with ease and you want to work with someone pleasant and hard-working.

Joel is excellent to work with, has a great knowledge of the San Diego area and is very responsive. He spent time with me helping me understand the markets in the area and was willing to took into any house we found. We would highly recommend working with him.

Joel is very knowledgeable when it comes to A) neighborhoods in San Diego and even the numerous multi-unit complexes in SD, B) what to look for and note in the units (ceiling to flooring and everything in between) and C) negotiations, the escrow process, market trends, and everything in this area. Furthermore he's highly motivated, very responsive, and is very much on top of things. He did not rush me when I was looking at properties, I definitely felt as though he had my best interest in mind. I will seek Joel out when it comes to buying or selling property here in SD.

I sold my home for more money than I expected and in less time than I anticipated. I also currently live outside of the country so for him to be able to facilitate this sale with no issues was very impressive. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a Realtor.

I have used Joel's services to purchase and sell on two different instances and both times I couldn't be happier with the professional service Joel offers. The last sale and purchase was incredibly emotional and difficult due to a death in the family and Joel was there emotionally and did everything he could to make that process easier. I can not say enough fabulous things about Joel! He is a friend, realtor and someone who actually cares about the investment his clients are making! Not only will I use Joel's services again but he is my family's realtor for life!!!

Joel was wonderful!!! He provided a seller, was VERY knowledgeable, VERY professional and accomplished everything in a timely manner! Joel made a bittersweet time of selling the family home go as smooth as we could have ever expected!!

We were relocating from Nashville to San Diego and Joel was selected from my fianc's company to be our relator. He went above and beyond to not only show us amazing homes, but also made sure to get us familiar with all the different parts of San Diego. He even provided us with local food recommendations, as he knew we were eating out for every meal. Due to our hectic schedules while moving, a lot of our communication had to take place via text or calls and Joel was always incredibly responsive. He not only lead us to find our dream place, but was there every step of the way through escrow, contractors, home inspections etc. We would definitely recommend Joel to anyone we know is the San Diego area and will use him again in the future!

Joel is hard working, knowledgeable, responsive, and straightforward. A great agent. We sold the property in 8 days, all cash, at the price he predicted. He did a beautiful promo job, and conducted every viewing.

Joel listed and sold our townhouse for us, while we were out of town, and set the record for the highest price any unit in the complex has ever sold for, even though it was smaller than other recently-sold units. We had to move out of town before we could list the place, and there was still work being done on the unit at the time. Joel worked with our contractor to make sure everything was done. He took care of almost everything, and the few things we needed to take care of, he let us know about. The whole process was remarkably easy. I give Joel my highest recommendation.

Joel gets 6 stars from me. The extra star is for honesty and integrity. Needless to say, if you are buying or selling your home or investment property, Joel will steer you in the right way. He is a good, fair and a hard working negotiator. I will use him again.

I recently moved from San Diego to Washington DC for work, and Joel handled the sale of my home. From our very first meeting, Joel demonstrated his vast knowledge of the local real estate market and his expertise in successfully marketing a property. Although my home wasn't the largest in the area, Joel recognized some strong selling points that were specific to my property and suggested a few minor improvements that would maximize our asking price. Joel was always available to answer questions, no matter when I called, and even provided input into what flooring and wall color would be best for the property size. I relied heavily on Joel's expertise and marketing strategies, and it paid off. Within the first week, we had multiple offers over asking price, and Joel was able to secure an offer that was much more than either of us were expecting. I would 100% recommend Joel to anyone looking to either buy or sell a property in the San Diego area, and when I return from DC, I will absolutely use him again. I couldn't be happier with Joel. Thank you Joel, for everything you did!

Joel is very professional and down to earth. He got me top dollar selling my condo over the holidays with no hiccups in the process. Hes a top notch agent!

Joel was so helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a realtor to contact him. I loved working with him. He would always contact us back right away if we had any questions on anything, and he worked hard and diligent to get the price we wanted for our house.

Joel was great - from start to finish - helping us prepare to put our home on the market, and getting it sold over-asking within 48 hours of listing. We would 100% use him again for any real-estate transaction in the future!

Joel was fabulous to work with. He walked me through difficult decisions, providing professional advice, but always allowing me the final decision. He was so responsive to any questions, concerns I had. My house sold within days. I was very happy!

I am a real estate agent and picking Joel to represent our house was one of the best decisions I've ever made. They say doctors make the worse patients and as is the case it was strange to be a seller and not an agent. Joel was on top of everything and went the extra mile. We were out of town and he took care of all the details. He helped negotiate a great price with excellent terms and very little effort needed from us. Very pleased to recommend him.

Working with Joel was extremely helpful while going through all of the processes involved in purchasing a home. His knowledge and expertise really made it seem easy. I totally recommend Joel to anyone seeking a diligent and knowledgeable realtor.

Joel helped my wife and I buy our dream house. He always promptly returned our text messages. Joel is a great negotiator. The price we paid for our home was below the asking price and appraisal.

Joel has been a key player in our selling and buying process. His knowledge and readiness to work makes him stand out. Great agent and would use again and again! Thank you for all your hard work!

We have worked with Joel four times and will work with him again if we have the chance. Unlike other professionals who push off your question/concerns, Joel is always available via text, email or over the phone. Our properties have ranged anywhere from 300k-600k, and regardless of price point Joel has paid the utmost attention, been there for every walkthrough or open house and available whenever we needed to see a potential property. All this while handling a portfolio of multi-million-dollar homes. For Mother's Day my wife wanted to see a property. Joel was there to spend the day with us. By his own admission, he has never failed to sell a listing. As a client we have routinely seen record sales using his service (record price-per-square-foot sales in both Lynwood Hills and Rancho del Rey). For our last purchase Joel pushed to get as much as he could and even got us R&R's they were originally denied. He also made sure that the seller made good on all their promises (in a timely manner) and that the work was done correctly. Utilizing his service and providers we have found the lowest rate possible rate and have never missed a deadline. We have been able to remove our contingencies surprisingly early, every time, due to his attention to detail. As a family, we highly recommend Joel, and would deal only with Berkshire Hathaway and the Blumenfeld team in particular.

Joel was great thru the whole process of buying our first home. He is very familiar with the local market, super responsive, and has great knowledge of the whole process. With his help we were able to win a bidding war on our perfect house and close within 25 days. His knowledge of local resources for house inspection services was also great. He was even nice enough to help us resolve some questions after we closed. I would definitely recommend Joel to anyone looking to buy a house!!!

I have been working with Joel for the past year, in my attempt to find an ideal location. He has been most the most patient professional agent I have come across. I would highly recommend him for the soon to be homeowners. Joel was a truly a constant professional.

I highly recommend Joel and the entire Blumenfeld team. They assisted us in selling our condo and from start to finish we trusted in him. Joel's, industry knowledge, communication skills and ability get deals done is the best in San Diego. During the transaction we had the opportunity to interact with team members from the Blumenfeld Group and I can truly say Joel, surrounds himself with very highly skilled and knowledgeable individuals. We thank you for making this a smooth and stress free experience. Most importantly getting us top dollar. Thank you for helping my family.
