Laszlo Betyar

We highly recommend Laszlo Betyar for your real estate needs. Being unfamiliar with agents in the community, we were introduced to Laszlo by referral. We were fortunate to have been given this introduction. In the sale of a condominium unit, Laszlo proved himself to be knowledgeable, prepared, attentive to our needs, and diligent in his follow-up on important matters. He prepared photographs and a web-based, virtual tour of the property. His work helped highlight property amenities, which facilitated a quick sale. He also helped us through the inspection and walk-through process and conscientiously explained the many details associated with the sales complicated paperwork. His thoughtful, relaxed, and friendly manner helped reduce the strain attached to a major transaction.We hope that your experience with this consummate professional is as favorable as ours turned out to be.

Laszlo,I want to express my appreciation to you for partnering with me on the sale of my home. My last home sale was 20+ years ago and much has changed in that time. As a widow I was somewhat anxious about this process and you were the best coach and mentor I could have imagined. I interviewed three realtors and was specifically looking for someone who had an impressive record of sales in my community and someone I felt I could successfully partner with. You had an informed presentation highlighting your strengths, optimism and expertise along with the record as top seller in my market. It also seemed we could work well with each other. Together we decided what was required to stage the house for sale. The photographic presentation and tour was the most impressive I and all my friends have ever seen. In these days of selling homes primarily via internet and social media you clearly have mastered those channels. Every open house had more visitors than typical and the eventual buyer was actually at the first open house. And a great deal of careful negotiation and patience was required to close this sale.You indeed exceeded my expectations. I want to say that you were an amazing mentor and coach through this often confusing and challenging process. You made sure I understood what was expected and required at each step and answered all my questions. You always remained analytically optimistic and thus enabled me to be optimistic and patient as well.Your professionalism and negotiating skills were second to none. It was obvious to me that you put your best efforts forward to ensure my interests were met. Your hard work and years of expertise certainly paid off for me! Thank you,Ann H

Laszlo, As you know we have sold a few homes in our day and still more to come. It was refreshing working with you. We feel that you had our best interest in mind at every turn. Selling a home can be complicated; however, your calm professional approach seemed to simplify the process. Your team was professional and never faltered to take the time needed to ensure we were completely satisfied. In this highly competitive environment, it was nice to see that you went the extra mile. The use of a drone to do the aerial photography set our ad ahead of the competition. However, the highlight of the experience was the way that you integrated yourself onto our team. The home needed a face lift and your input was greatly appreciated and translated into a higher selling price. The home sold for more than our asking price and the whole process took approx. 5 weeks once on the market. Thank you and we look forward to working with you on the next one. Russ and Deb

Laszlo has sold 3 houses for me over the last 2 years. Each house was sold for more then the ask price and for cash and in less then 30 days. Laszlo is professional in every aspect of real estate. He is a superior realtor and I highly recommend him. Bob F.

To whom it may concern: I have known Mr. Laszlo Betyar for over twenty years and consider him to be a true friend. I am a general contractor and for over five years worked for Laszlo on numerous home renovations during the foreclosure market. While working together, Laszlo acquired over 50 properties. He capitalized on the real estate market and depending on the circumstances of the individual property, we preformed upgrades and repairs to complete renovations. During this time working with Mr. Betyar was very enjoyable as well as financially rewarding. During the last year I again have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Betyar and was able to take advantage of his professionalism and hard work to complete the sale of two properties I owned in Southern California. The first was a year ago and was sold under less than ideal circumstances. The property was in Trust and required a court order to correct mistakes that had been made. Mr. Betyar navigated the potential crisis and was able to receive top market value for the property. His negotiating skills were certainly the reason that the sale was completed without any further complications. Based on the success of the previous sale I again hired Mr. Betyar to list my second home four months ago. I met with him and the advice that I received was invaluable in again obtaining top market value while minimizing the effort and cost on my part. I no longer live in the area and greatly appreciated his complete managing of the sale which included overseeing all repairs completed by sub-contractors and service techs. I cannot express how much I have appreciated his hard work and complete professionalism in every phase of these home sales. Please feel free and contact me if I may offer any information with regards to Mr. Betyar. Thank you

We were very pleased to work with Laszlo on the sale of our home. There are several reasons why we would strongly recommend Laszlo: 1.He is highly intelligent and laser focused. 2.His engineering background serves him well in compiling data and understanding what it says. 3.His software engineering background makes him very comfortable with leveraging all the online tools to show your home to potential buyers. 4. He tries to do the best for his clients. In our case as Sellers, he performed comprehensive market analysis, identified individual items which would modify the price up or down, and made a recommendation based upon meaningful data and judgment. But he sought our agreement on his recommendation. So it was a cooperative effort. 5.He has a very keen eye for design and understands how to leverage marketing tools. For instance he invested in high quality photographs and printed materials that were a differentiator. 6.His background in construction management is helpful in recognizing and understanding detail regarding quality of construction. 7.He loves the real estate process. His enthusiasm comes through. He has studied the process and demonstrated expertise and understanding of nuance items of which other real estate agents were uninformed. 8.He is a tireless worker. It seems as though he seldom rests. Every time we asked a question it seemed as though we received the answer later that day or with an e-mail with the answer late at night. 9.Negotiation is one of his strong suits. He understands the science of negotiation. 10.In our case he held open houses three straight weekends. He received multiple offers and, in our case, was able to negotiate a full price cash offer. One cannot ask a Realtor to do more than he did for us. And we intend to maintain a long term relationship with him both socially and in business.

I highly recommend Laszlo Betyar as your listing realtor if selling a home in the Mt. Woodson Community. We purchased our dream retirement home in Northern California before we sold our Mt. Woodson home, so we had to get serious quickly. We chose Laszlo because he is the sales leader is this area and because we heard of his reputation as an honest man with the utmost integrity. Laszlo exceeded our expectations with staging, marketing, pricing, and contract negotiating. Laszlo recommended what to fix up before showing, so the house looked clean and immaculate, and then hired the best photographer to maximize our view house with still and drone technology. He held an open house the first weekend and even pitched our house on Realtor TV. Our house sold within Laszlos initial pricing parameters in only 14 days. After the house sold, Laszlo even helped us make some of the repairs required by the buyer after the home inspection. Laszlo genuinely enjoys his work and his passion shows through in all his interactions with his clients and prospective buyers. We not only made the right choice for our realtor but also made a good friend.

Laszlo- We wanted to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to you for helping us with our home sale. We have worked with many realtors over the past 20 years due to frequent job transfers. We have to say that you have been, by far, the best of the best. After interviewing three realtors, you were the most optimistic and had the highest expectations for the sale of our home. You were well versed on the market, had an aggressive marketing strategy and partnered with us in all aspects of our home sale. You exceeded all of our expectations. Your professionalism and negotiating skills were second to none. This was both refreshing and comforting to us during the entire process. It was obvious to us that you put your best foot forward for us to ensure our interests were met. Your hard work certainly paid off for us! Thank you, Craig and Anita M

It was a privilege to engage Laszlo Betyar in my search for a dream home. Laszlo was exceptional in his brokerage work in helping me buy that perfect home after I tried a few brokers in a couple of years search before hiring him. Laszlo was extraordinarily thorough and conscientious in his work while maintaining a polite and cheerful attitude. He endeavored to go the extra mile for my search in a courteous and patient manner. Laszlo eagerly practiced what he had learned through his many years in the real estate business to instill ease and confidence in our effort to find the right property to fit my goals. I totally looked up to his expertise. Laszlo's service even extended beyond the escrow closing. He was there for my every query thereafter regarding my home, e.g. he did not hesitate to give me his prompt recommendations and advice to link me with the right contractor to renovate my new home. Laszlo made sure that everything was timely fixed to my specifications. Laszlo has the ability to command loyalty from his clients with his efficiency, kindness, and concern. Whoever is fortunate enough to engage Laszlos services will be rewarded with an intelligent, kind, conscientious, hard-working realtor broker. And better yet, they will get a loyal friend in the end as well. He is that unique. To put it in a nutshell, I really cant say enough about Laszlo. He handled my needs regardless of my real estate preferences with the utmost courtesy, finest enthusiasm and detailed professionalism. I would not hesitate to engage Laszlo's services again because I know he will work to do the very best on my behalf by being there by me and for me without wavering should I ever need him. I came from a service-oriented background in a different profession. I do not expect anything less than customer-oriented service par-excellence for anything I am involved in. Laszlo measures up in all regards and is invaluable, an ultimate asset to anyone hiring him. Thank you, Laszlo for a great job well-done. Again it was a great privilege to benefit from your incomparable services. Mahalo Nui Loa.

To whom it may concern: It is with pleasure and gratitude sharing our comments on our searching, finding and purchasing home experience with Laszlo Betyar. As a first time home buyer, buying a house can be overwhelming, confusing, stressful and frustrating. Especially when you have a low budget. Its best to pick a location and start the bidding war. This is a big step and the largest amount of money anyone will invest, therefore you need to find the BEST real estate agent and I believe we found him. After defining our expectations our experience at each phase of the home purchase was superior, such as innovative efforts in creating appeal vs offers in a "cash offer" market, useful insights in downstream renovations, effective viewing of properties with our busy schedules and proactive facilitation during the short sale process. All of these tasks, whether business-related or interpersonal, were accomplished with a noticeable degree of competence, integrity and grace. Why choose Laszlo? - perfect combo: incredible experience in real estate combined with his knowledge in construction - great recommendations for defining areas, house search and offer negotiations - loyal, patient, credible, honest, extremely hard working, dedicated... - does not push you in a deal to make money - he makes sure YOU get what you want EVEN if you have a lower budget - gets the best for your money - explains all steps during the process so that you can understand it In summary, Laszlo supported us in a challenging and complex nine month short-sale process, dealing with short-sale lender, buyers inflexible moving situation, title company, IRS property tax lean, wood inspection, home inspection, loan approval and home purchase... And the best thing of all is that due to Laszlo's credible family real estate history, the buyer choose our offer which was NOT the highest offer in a very competitive market. We just moved in and the house has equity already. Many thanks go to Derek Betyar, who managed all the documentation for us. The hard drive of the listing agents broke in the final stage with no documentation backups. Derek could provide him with all required copies immediately. It is great to have such hardworking and organized people working for you in the background. Thus, we are truly thankful and highly recommend Laszlo and Derek Betyar for real estate needs. Und jetzt in Deutsch/German: Vielen, vielen Dank fuer Alles! Es war ein langer und anstrengender Weg aber mit Ihrer Hilfe wohnen wir in unserem neuen Haus!

Dear Laszlo, Kyle and I would like to thank you for being such an amazing person. You are one talented and wonderful individual who has truly made our family dreams come true. We cannot thank you enough for the hard work, dedication, kindness and for sharing your experience with home buying with us. Kyle and I are so excited that this is finally happening. This new house is amazing, and we cannot wait to put in some hard work and love into this new home. As we sit in our tiny apartment, and hear our neighbors partying - we are so glad to be out of this crummy mouse hole. We've been impressed with your vast amount of knowledge on houses, and we enjoyed working with you. Now we can begin the hundred pages of paper work! New Home Owners (Scared and Excited)

Laszlo Betyar assisted me with my first-time home purchase at Regents La Jolla. Having dealt with more transactions than the next eight agents combined, Laszlo was a clear standout in this particular complex. In my search for a home, he was instrumental in helping me find the unique type of condo unit I was looking for. With the experience he has accumulated over the years, he has a profound ability to negotiate deals to the greatest possible extent. In particular, the unit I decided to purchase had unique features which included a high ceiling and exterior view. Laszlo was the only party to recognize the value of these features which allowed the higher-end unit to be purchased at a discounted price. Consequently, I was able to purchase with a 5% savings over similar units that had sold recently. Throughout the escrow process, Laszlo demonstrated an unparalleled expertise in his field when dealing with the seller. I would recommend his services to anyone looking for a proficiently qualified broker who can guide them through the buying or selling process. -Steven D

Laszlo and Derek sold our Rancho Bernardo home in a short time; at the highest price in Royal St George in 6 years and at the 8th highest price ever. Laszlo marketed the property with exceptional photography and marketing material and massive Internet exposure to thousands of websites. Marketing tracking data from Laszlo showed how many people were viewing our homes and where they came from. We received multiple offers. The transaction went very smoothly. I highly recommend the Betyar Real Estate Group for your real estate needs. In fact, Laszlo is now helping me to find a new property.

Laszlo Betyar and Derek Betyar are the utmost professionals, great to work with, and I highly recommend them to anyone interested in buying or selling a property. They are extremely knowledgeable about our local community, and the broader areas also. They sold our home in a very short period of time, after counseling us on how best to "show" our home to enable us to maximize the sale price. Laszlo gave a us a presentation on his sale plan, arranged for the professional photos and brochure, and aggressively marketed our property. He was always available and responsive to our questions, and handled all negotiations in an assertive and professional manner.

Several years ago my husband and I were visiting La Jolla and looking at property. We found a beautiful condominium, in a wonderful area, with outstanding amenities at Regents La Jolla. We figured that we would buy it and rent it out, and move there when we retired. A grand dream! Of course we bought at the peak of the real estate boom, paying top dollar. But we figured, it was California real estate, in La Jolla no less, how could we lose. Even if we did not live there, we could sell it later and collect our earnings! Well, the market crashed, and the condo lost half of its value practically overnight. A few years ago, I received a mailer from Laszlo Betyar, Realtor. He said that the market was beginning to turn and that he had experience at Regents La Jolla if we were ever interested in selling. I called just to ask about the market. Laszlo took the time to talk about the property, the area, and the market with us He shared his ideas on the future of the market, and our options, for now and later. We decided we were not ready to sell yet, but we might in the future. Laszlo said he would stay in touch and for the next few years we received a message from him every month, talking about what was selling in the area and the direction of the market. He was never pushy, just informative! Earlier this year, we reviewed our portfolio and decided that we were never going to live in La Jolla we figured it was time to cut our losses and sell in order to better prepare ourselves for retirement. We knew we would not get what we paid for it, but we wanted as much as the market would bear. Laszlo understood what we wanted, and he knew what we needed to do to reach our goals. Laszlo created a marketing plan that moved prices in the development to allow us to get the price that we wanted. The marketing material presented to buyers and their agents was exceptional. The plan was highly unusual, creative, and structured to get us the highest price possible for our home. We shared the marketing material with our friends and they were amazed that we would even think of selling such a beautiful home, even I began to wonder why we were selling, it was wonderfully presented! At each step, Laszlo prepared us for the tasks ahead, the possible outcomes, and the options we would have available to us. We live out of the San Diego area and relied on Laszlo for so many aspects of this sale. We have bought and sold many properties over the years and we have never worked with a realtor who was as helpful and hands-on as Laszlo. He went above and beyond anything I would ever have expected to prepare our home for sale. We relied on Laszlo's construction experience to prepare the property for sale and to respond to buyer repair requests. Laszlo managed the repairs and saved us a bunch of money. We strongly recommend Laszlo to get you the best price possible for your home, with the least amount of hassle.

Re: Laszlo Betyar This letter is a recommendation and endorsement for Laszlo Betyar as a real estate agent. I was introduced to Laszlo, by my financial adviser, Robert Frazier, as he was highly recommended as a real estate agent. I engaged the services of Laszlo to sell my condo after successfully hearing of his performance in marketing and closing the sale on a property that my financial adviser was the trustee. Laszlo sold that property in 30 days to a cash buyer above the asking price. Laszlo was professional and meticulous in the presentation and knowledge of my condo, the surrounding area and services available, and all comparable listings. He utilized the services of a professional photographer to showcase the property in his marketing materials and online sites. He was in constant contact with me and assisted in staging the property, actually helping to move furniture in and haul it back to my house, and making the necessary small repairs and even washing windows for me. His meticulous focus on the small details to highlight the property made a tremendous difference in closing the sale. He held an open house on November 9th, 2013 and kept me informed of all the prospects that came to see the property. He also provided a complete market analysis of every one who viewed the property online and even how many photos they looked at while online. Laszlo was able to receive two offers on my condo after the open house. We accepted a full price offer and closed the sale on November 25th. A great result in 17 days from listing to closing and a cash buyer at full asking price. Laszlo assisted with all the paperwork and walked me through every step and explained everything in simple English. He was always willing to help. He was totally committed to me and graciously gave me as much time as I needed. I highly endorse and recommend Laszlo to anyone as a real estate agent and as a friend. Simply the Best! Sincerely, Leopold A. Lipec

Derek Betyar was a true pleasure to work with. He was professional, honest, smart and very helpful in our search for a new home. He performed a thorough search in each home we looked at and noticed things we did not. His skills and advice lead us to the home of our dreams. During escrow, he made sure we were comfortable and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. We are very excited to make a home in our new house and couldnt have done it without Derek! Thank you!

For those looking to buy or sell San Diego real estate, Laszlo and Derek have handled over 70 real estate transactions for me since 2009 (Yes, thats SEVENTY+). Theyve helped me make money on every one. There arent 10 realtors in San Diego that can do what the Betyars do: Find the right properties to buy, properly value real estate, negotiate to win, understand what adds value, know construction, and sell at a top price. Laszlo just helped my wife and I do a 1031 exchange in 10 days. We jumped on a property the morning it was listed. Laszlo negotiated a great price before anyone else had a chance at the property. We talked daily and, often, several times per day. Everything went smoothly. Another money-maker. Whether you want to make money in real estate, buy the right home for a good price, or get the most out of the sale of your home, you have to talk to Derek and Laszlo. Tony and Dawn S

THIS WAS THE FIRST HOME I HAVE OWNED SO I WAS ANXIOUS BOTH ABOUT GETTING THE BEST PRICE AND GETTING IT SOLD. IT WAS RELATIVELY SHORT NOTICE ON THE DECISION TO LIST IT, AND LASZLO IMMEDIATELY GAVE ME A LIST OF IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO TO MAXIMIZE ITS' PRESENTABILITY AND TO MAKE THE PROCESS EASY. HE ALSO PROVIDED ME CONTACTS TO GET THE WORK DONE INCLUDING MINOR FIXES, WINDOW WASHING, CLEANING, AND CHECKING FOR THINGS THAT THE INSPECTORS WOULD BE CRITICAL ABOUT. ALL OF HIS REFERENCES WERE TIMELY AND FAIRLY PRICED. HE PROVIDED A FAIR VALUATION FOR LISTING, HAD AN EXPERT PHOTOGRAPHER, WHO DID AN INVITING LAYOUT ONLINE, DID A TIMELY OPEN HOUSE WHICH RESULTED IN A SALE IN 3 DAYS. DURING THE PRE-CLOSURE TIME HE KEPT ME UP TO DATE, DEALT SKILFULLY WITH AN INTERNATIONAL CLIENT, HAD AN OPEN DIALOGUE WITH THE ESCROW COMPANY, AND ROUTINELY GAVE ME NOTICE OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN NEXT. I AM A CPA AND TRULY APPRECIATE PROFESSIONALISM NO MATTER WHAT FIELD IT IS IN. LASZLO UNDERSTANDS EVERY COMPONENT OF HIS PROFESSION, IS WONDERFUL TO DEAL WITH, AND IS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HONEST. I CAN UNEQUIVOCABLY RECOMMEND HIM AND AM REFERRING MY CLOSEST FRIENDS TO HIM, AS I KNOW THEY WILL GET FIRST CLASS TREATMENT.

Laszlo Betyar is a great realtor who sold my house recently. He has a great deal of valuable knowledge and experience in the industry and uses that to make sure you get the best deal possible and can back it up with solid reasons to justify it. He always has time for you and is in frequent communication when it is needed. He is also a very nice guy to work with and listens to your needs and values your responses. His son Derek Betyar was also very helpful in the process. Laszlo managed the sale after I moved out of state and even took care of minor maintenance repairs in my absence. I was therefore very pleased with the selling experience and would definitely recommend Laszlo as the man for the job as he gives you the confidence you are getting the best service available!

Buying your first home can be exciting, but can also be overwhelming with the amount of information that you need to track. Laszlo just helped me buy my first home, a nice Rancho Bernardo condo in Vista Del Lago. He made the process easy, providing just-in-time information at each step but also providing guidance and detailed explanations of the overall purchase and escrow processes. And anytime I had a question, he responded quickly and answered comprehensively, even late in the evening. And on top of that, hes easy to talk to, well-mannered, friendly, and sincere. He really cares for his client, doing everything he can to provide a fantastic experience, which is exactly what I got from him. And he is knowledgeable when it comes to buying and selling property, because hes got years and years of experience himself. During showings, he wouldnt just rattle off the stats of the property, but instead would evaluate the build quality and pinpoint where certain problems were more likely to occur. He could even estimate how much certain materials would cost for renovations! And throughout the negotiation process, Laszlo predicted how the seller would react and we worked together to prepare our responses. The negotiation went exactly as scripted. He really fought for me so that I could get a better deal on the home, which is above and beyond what some other agents focused on collecting their commissions would do. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any of my family and friends looking to buy property, as Im confident theyll get the same excellent service from him as I did.
