Jim Bottrell and his team where really good and efficient with the paperwork process as well as getting our offer accepted! They answered all of our questions and held our hands through the process. They are the best! We were even able to close in record time.

Buying your first home can be super overwhelming but the Jim Bottrell Team set us up with the right agent who was extremely attentive to our needs and made the whole process really stress free. Our agent basically met us across two counties whenever we wanted and was always there when we needed her, even at night and on weekends. My wife and I really feel like we got the right home, no regrets. I hope we don’t move anytime soon, but when/if we do I know where we will go first.

They are also available for any and all follow up questions even though our transaction is completed. We will go to them again and again, I highly recommend this team for your real estate needs!

I met Elizabeth 2 years ago and I found her through Zillow. We met at a Starbucks near by and from the onset she made a great first impression. Elizabeth was very punctual. She was very kind, humble and very passionate about real estate. She told me how she was apart of Bottrell team and shared with me Jim Bottrells vision and journey. I was immediately inspired. She took her time to explain the process and laid it out how attainable it was for me to embark on my own journey of buying my first house. We immediately starting looking for homes and I was able to find the house of my dreams. She told me exactly what I needed to do in order secure this house and I followed her instructions. I was able to get my offer accepted. Unfortunately due to personal reasons I had to back out. Elizabeth never gave up on me. She made an effort over a two year span to always keep in touch and encourage me to continue to pursue my dream of owning a home. Finally I recently contacted her to initiate the process once again and now I feel more confident than ever working with her that I will achieve my dream of owning my own home soon. Elizabeth recently shared her own personal journey that she was inspired to embark on by the vision of Jim Bottrell and his experience. Elizabeth not only passionate about helping others achieve their dreams. She also shared with me her personal experience of owning her own home independently on her own. She is the example and that gives me great confidence in her moving forward. I would recommend and will recommend Elizabeth and the Bottrell team to my friends and coworkers. I am a veteran and the Bottrell team specializes in helping veteran achieve the honor of becoming home owners. Thank you to Elizabeth and Bottrell team. I look forward to working with you in the future and I am confident I will be a home owner soon.

I love my current home and it’s all thanks to the Jim Bottrell Team.   I initially didn’t get my offer accepted, but after the home fell out of their first escrow, I called the Jim Bottrell team to have them write my second offer. They wrote a professional looking offer and saved me money with the terms and stipulations they included. I am forever grateful and would recommend the Jim Bottrell team to anyone looking for an easy home buying process

I was living across the country and was relocated to San Diego for work. I wanted to have a home ready to go by the time I got to SD.   After reaching out with a short phone call to the Jim Bottrell Team, they helped me virtually tour some homes in my price range.   We eventually found one that I liked and were able to get our offer accepted the first time!   The Jim Bottrell team made the escrow process easy helping me across the country. Now, I’m very happy living in the home of my dreams.

The Bottrell Team is the best in the business. They are so professional and patient in the process. They helped us every single step of the transaction and their communication skills are unmatched. We strongly recommend them every time we can to all our family and friends.

Before finding my way to The Bottrell Team, I had attempted to work with a couple other real estate agents. I kept finding myself in the same situation, the agent wanted me to buy a particular house more than I wanted to buy that house. This is a huge investment, and I need to make the right decision for my family. I met the Bottrell Team as they had a particular property listed that seemed to catch my interest. We went to see the house, and with zero pressure or influence from them, I knew it was the one. They weren’t trying to “sell” it to me, rather they wanted to help make this my new home once I told them this was the right one. It was like a breath of fresh air, a team that I could tell genuinely cared about me and helping me accomplish my goal. I needed help with the financing, as I didn’t have a lender lined up yet. They put me in touch with their preferred lender, and I feel like I received top notch service. The loan process was seamless. Of course it was important to me that the home was checked out by a professional inspector, so they recommended a company that was extremely thorough and detailed. A few issues were uncovered in the inspection, which is to be expected with any home, but The Bottrell Team helped with finding a solution and making sure that the problems were solved prior to closing escrow. The Bottrell Team was informative, patient, accommodating, and an overall pleasure to work with. Not only do I consider them friends of my family now, I would also say The Bottrell Team is my go-to real estate team for life!

I was first introduced to the Jim Bottrell Team by a friend and former colleague who knew I needed to sell my triplex investment property. We knew this would be a tough job because I needed to do a concurrent transaction for 1031 exchanges in the middle of the 2019 holiday season. I met with one of Jim’s listing specialists, and I was impressed by their comprehensive marketing campaign. This team is serious about utilizing every possible technique to gain huge market exposure and maximize sale value. I received five offers within our first week on the market, including one with an escalation clause. Jim and his team were extremely attentive to my needs throughout the entire process. They provided Superior negotiations and Excellent communication every step of the way. Within 14 days my property was sold for full asking price, which allowed me to secure over 7% of annual appreciation! I could not be happier with my selling experience. I highly recommend the Jim Bottrell Team to anyone who is looking for the best of the best to sell their home.

We were able to get $8,000.towards closing costs and close in 25 days! When we first inquired about The Bottrell Team’s listing they were able to meet with us right away at a Starbucks near our home. This was not our first purchase so we were very impressed with their presentation, their “Buy Back Guarantee” and Free Home Warranty. When we stepped into our home that we bought it was love at first sight. The agent from the Bottrell team wrote up our offer right away and we were in escrow just a few days later. It all happened so fast but the support I received was impeccable, our agent was always available to answer any questions all hours of the day. We are from Jersey so the process out here was a little different but we were always informed and updated. The Bottrell Team was able to get us $8,000 towards closing costs and we closed in 25 days. The best part was we received our keys on New Years Eve! We are so happy for making the decision to work with the Bottrell Team and definitely encourage you to do the same if you are buying or selling your home.

We decided it was time to stop throwing our money away renting, and instead invest in our future and buy a home. After doing some home-hunting ourselves online, and not having much success, we decided to hire an agent to help us navigate throughout this process because we found out that an agent that represents buyers is actually at no cost to the buyers. We were first-time home-buyers so we had no idea how the home-buying process worked.

After interviewing a couple agents, we decided to hire the Bottrell Team to represent us. After meeting with our agent, it was clear to us that this team is the absolute best in the business. During our initial meeting with our agent, he used a form to take down our exact criteria so he wouldn’t waste our time showing us homes that we weren’t going to be interested in. He also gave us a presentation on the home-buying process that was extremely detailed and to the point. He explained to us how the process looks from start to finish. He explained to us so many different things that happen during this process like an appraisal, a home inspection, homeowner’s insurance, how property taxes are paid for, what an escrow was, what a contingency was in a contract, and so much more. He wasn’t like the others that just stopped in and said “let’s go look at homes. ” After his presentation, we were so glad we didn’t do this thing on our own because what we realized was buying a home is a process, not an event. We truly felt so comfortable and educated from the get-go!

4 days after meeting our agent, we got our offer accepted on our dream home! It was exactly what we envisioned for our first home, even down to the same town we wanted to be in! When we walked in to our home, we knew it was the one right away, and our agent promised us it would be ours! I remember him getting on the phone with the other agent while we were touring our now-home, and when he got off the phone he told us, “it’s a done deal, they want to work with us. ” Come to find out, the other agent knew another agent that our agent had previously worked on a deal with, and the deal went very smooth. The other agent also knew who the Bottrell Team was because they do a lot of work in San Diego County. To top these two things off, our agent also leveraged the fact that our lender, Scott Evans CrossCountry Mortgage could get us through an escrow in just 19 days, and because the home wasn’t occupied, we immediately had a huge leg up! After hearing all this, they immediately wanted to work with us and we were able to beat several other offers that they had! Additionally, our agent was able to negotiate the seller to pay $7,500 of our closing costs! When we first met with our agent, he said “who you work with matters”, and we never really understood it back then, but after he and the Bottrell Team got our offer accepted, we knew that this couldn’t be truer!

Never in our mind did we think after meeting with an agent from the Bottrell Team, we would find our dream home in only 4 days! There are so many reasons that we are now clients for life. Throughout this entire process, we felt so comfortable with our agent. We knew we could text or call him at any time of the day (yes we have talked with him as late as midnight). The Bottrell Team is persistent, honest, genuine and some of the best people in the business. They got the job done right and we could not be happier with our house.just in time for the holidays!

“I am a mother of four and needed to buy a home to accommodate my growing family. I had worked with an agent in the past who basically didn’t think I was worth their time because of my budget. I decided to try again with the help of the Bottrell Team. They immediately set me up for success with a great lender who was able to run credit simulations and increase our purchase power in less than a month. They gave us solid advice and narrowed down our search to only the best neighborhoods. Our agent patiently showed us homes during this time and when we decided to make an offer, he negotiated all of the closing costs! We are extremely pleased with our home and can’t thank the Bottrell Team enough for enabling us to own a home again. ”

Hello we recently sold our house and bought a house with the Bottrell team. When first meeting with them in the beginning the Bottrell team seemed very nice and Jim Bottrell said he was going to handle the sell of our house on his own. After signing with the Bottrell team Jim gave us to one of his team members and they were not correspondent on keeping us updated on the whole process. We ended up finding more information from our broker since we were buying and selling a house at the same time then we did from his team. The second issue was with Mike he was our agent for buying our new home, he was great at first. After we made a offer on our home it all went downhill from there. He started looking at the best interest for him instead of his clients. Right before closing we found out there was a claim on the house within the last 5 years for a water leak. We had alot of questions concerning the claim and he was unwilling to get the information. Now 6 months later here we are filing another claim for the same thing and have had other problems with the home. I understand there may be problems when buying a new home but I feel like if they would of been more on our side we would not be going through this. I highly recommend not to use them and there inspector's!

We beat 2 other buyers and still got $5000 in closing costs from the seller!

Our family had been renting an apartment in Temecula for nearly 10 years and felt it was time to establish financial stability for our family. Our agent came to our home to discuss our criteria and get us started on our journey towards home ownership. We had a few things to overcome, however the Bottrell Team stood by us and held our hand each step of the way until the CLOSE! Our agent was patient and treated us like family. Their dedication and passion for their clients is unrivaled. We are so beyond happy to be in our first home. Our boys are especially excited to be able to attend the same highly ranked schools. Thank you Bottrell Team!

We met with the Bottrell Team over 3 years ago and initially inquired through their property management division as renters. They stayed in contact with us and were ready to help when we decided to make that switch from throwing away money on rent to owning. They listened carefully to our wants and needs in a home and quickly got to work. We had to overcome a few challenging bumps in the road, however the knowledge and expertise of The Bottrell team is unmatched and got us through to the end. They were patient and proactive which sets them above other agents. Our family couldn’t be happier. Thank you Bottrell Team! ”

We are a military family and wanted to learn more about how to use our VA loan to purchase a home. As first time home buyers, we were unsure of where to begin. We found The Bottrell Team from a mailer and since Jim Bottrell was a marine himself, we decided to work with his team. They did not disappoint us as far as work ethic, integrity and overall accountability during our search for the perfect home. We had more than our fair share of obstacles during that time but they were very patient with us and explained the process each step if the way. We couldn’t have had a better experience overall. The Bottrell Team definitely took the time to make sure we were comfortable during every step of the escrow and negotiated all of our closing costs! We are very thankful to have found such a great home with the help of Jim Bottrell’s Team.

My husband and I are so happy to have found The Bottrell Team. I needed to find a bigger home since my disable brother now lives with me. Our Realtor helped us with the process of finding a new home. We were able to find a home and close in a month. We love how organized this team is. They answered our questions and made us feel like we mattered. This team truly cares about people not just making money. I appreciate companies who want to make money but they also take care of the customer. Our realtor handed us the keys and wished us great blessings. They even did a follow up call to check on us. No one is perfect, but they are close to it. I recommend this team and they also donate some of their money to Wounded Veterans under our name when we purchase a home with them. We loved that because I am a Navy Veteran and My husband still serves in the military today. If you are looking to buy a home I would consider using this team. You won’t regret it. It’s a win win Thanks The Bottrell team.

“I was looking around new to the area when I got set up on an appointment with The Bottrell Team. We interviewed several agents but there was only one that really stood out. What we learned from that process was that we were wasting our time interviewing other agents. The Bottrell Team took time, had patience, gave us knowledge and insight every step of the way. We not only gained a mentor and help, we gained a life long friend who genuinely cared about my family and I and our best needs always ahead of their own.

I had no hesitation to hire The Bottrell Team and they immediately had an action plan for me to assure that I could find something within my price range that would fit my families needs. They scheduled showings, helped us get financing advice/help, as well as negotiated every aspect of our transaction. Everything was always what was in OUR best interest and The Bottrell Team had soon negotiated our buying price and terms to ensure we had our First home and Dream home in not only a timely manner but we actually closed escrow in 11 days which is unreal! I work in finance and have never in my 15 years seen a real estate transaction close in that short a time.

I wasn't in a hurry to move however, 11 days got the ball rolling real quick. The Bottrell Team showed us how much we were throwing away on rent and we decided to go ahead and trust them throughout the entire process and could not be more thankful or happy! They had a process and systems for everything including the offer they created which won the sellers heart over and won us the home we wanted so badly as well. We would recommend The Bottrell Team to anyone we know and are so thankful we used them to purchase our first home which is in a beautiful neighborhood with such a large sense of community. We felt right at home from day one. The level of professionalism and expertise we got from working with The Bottrell Team was something that we never could have imagined. All of our friends told us that buying a house was such a long hard stressful process and that it caused so many fights. My new husband and I were prepared for the worst. We found our home after only 2 rounds of showings and I think within a month. Our agents nailed it with every house they showed us and really listened to what was important to us when it came to the home we wanted to buy. Needless to say we never fought, it was completely stress free and our new home closed before we even packed the last box in our condo. I 1000% would recommend using the Botrell Team. You wont regret it!:)

The Bottrell Team got us an off market home $15,000 under market value AND got us $10,000 in closing costs! Talk about a win, win!

We called the Bottrell Team to help us relocate from out of state. From our very first conversation with them we felt very comfortable and knew we made the right choice of who we wanted to work with. Our agent would drive around to different listings and send us videos of the inside of the homes so we can get a better idea of what it looked like. Finally they recommended an off market home they said they could get us in the area we wanted to be in. In addition to that they told us they could get that home $15,000 under market value! On top of that the Bottrell Team was still able to get us $10,000 in closing costs.

They truly made the entire process easy and would communicate to us what was going on during the process. I can’t thank them enough for everything they did, and we would recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home!

For my new job I needed a house in Southern California, the Bottrell Team helped me to find my dream house in no time, with an outstanding customer service! Highly recommend this team for your home search!
