Chris Howe, Howe Realty SD

Chris is a fantastic realtor; we were very blessed to be able to have him by our side through the stressful home buying process in San Diego. Chris was referred to us by my partner's brother and sister-in-law who used his services a few years earlier in their own home buying process. They recommended him as incredibly professional, pro-active, knowledgeable, and organized, which immediately became very apparent to us as we started working with him. Chris truly does care about all his clients; he often asked us about my partner's brother and sister-in-law and also went above and beyond to understand what we were looking for in our dream home. We were working under a very short escrow period, and he did everything to ensure we knew what we had to do and stayed on top of timelines. He was extremely flexible and always willing to meet us on our schedules, even in the evenings as we were often tied up by work obligations. I would sincerely and strongly recommend working with Chris as your realtor.

October 2023 update: We have now worked with Chris and Erin on both the buy side and sell side. They effectively marketed our home for a recent sale and once again proved themselves as top notch. Their attention to detail is amazing. Note that Chris is not simply an agent, but a broker licensed to work independently. This requires additional training, but more importantly, becomes a competitive advantage when negotiating. Thanks again Chris and Erin! We feel so lucky to have met Chris and Erin. We first met Chris through one of his listings and had a great first impression. He is friendly, knowledgeable and never any sales pressure. Chris presented us with some unique and creative ways of house hunting during the crazy pandemic market. Along the way, Erin was assisting with many details, making sure nothing was overlooked. Thanks to them, we recently closed on a home in a great neighborhood for our family. Best of all, we never felt like just customers, they treated us like friends. We look forward to continuing our friendship with Chris and Erin!

Howe Realty deserves 10 stars. Yes, really. Chris's help and guidance during our first-time homebuying process was fantastic. Honestly, we were amazed by the level of service he provided! Absolutely topnotch! We felt in such good hands with his wealth of experience and expertise guiding us. He really knows - and knows thoroughly - what he is doing and was very adept at navigating us through from start to finish. One thing about Chris that I especially appreciated was his patience. Through all kinds of questions and discussions - many of which were either long, late in the evening, or drawn-out - he tirelessly listened, explained, and shared perspectives drawn from his years of experience. I also really appreciated his patience while we were looking at potential homes. He made us feel like if we took a year to find a home he would be there helping us as gladly as on day 1. He wanted above all to help us find the home that was right for us, with our unique parameters, and right for our budget. This wasn't an easy task with the current market and economy, our preferences and tight budget, and our narrow choice of neighborhoods. His feedback and perspectives throughout the process were absolutely invaluable. We very much appreciated his expertise during the inspections and the interest and amount of time he took to help us out during this process and with the ensuing negotiation! That's the thing about Chris and Erin (his wife and colleague): they give above and beyond. And they do it generously. I'm positive we were not the easiest clients to work with, but Chris always made us feel like we were his priority. We can't say enough good things about Howe Realty and our experience working with Chris and Erin!

We were very fortunate to have Chris Howe as the real estate agent for our first home purchase. Chris is a very knowledgeable, patient, experienced, and hard-working agent. He listened carefully to our home preferences and budget, and guided us every step of the way. His recommendations of loan officers enabled us to lock in a great rate at a time of fast-rising mortgage rates. Chris and his wife and colleague Erin assisted us tremendously with estimating the costs of many needed repairs for the property we ended up buying. They went above and beyond contacting and connecting us with quality repair services and suppliers, many of which we are using during our remodeling. If you are looking for an agent with outstanding qualities, if you are looking for someone who was born and raised in San Diego and knows properties and the county very well, then look no further than Howe Realty.

Chris is very patient as I wandered from one type of home to the next and one area to the next. Grew up and lives in the SD area and is very knowledgeable of the area and trends. Finally ended up with Condo to start the new year. Thanks Chris!
