TESTIMONIALS

The Quintessential Professional

Our daughter-in-law recommended Silvana to us and from our first meeting with her, she was the quintessential professional and asked a lot of good questions to ascertain our needs and desires. She was no-nonsense and was willing to give us the hard answers when we were trying to negotiate. When the house was finally chosen, we didn’t realize we got Lane as part of the package deal and she and Lane were absolutely wonderful to work with. Every text and email was answered within hours if not minutes. We have been involved with the purchase or sale of many properties, and this process with Silvana and Lane was the least stressful we have ever experienced. They definitely know their business. We would be honored to recommend them for anyone’s real estate needs.

Highly Knowledgeable

When my daughter bought her Poway home she was so impressed by the way Silvana represented the seller. When it came time for me to sell my sister's home as administrator of her estate, my daughter suggested I call Silvana and I am so grateful for that advice.

Silvana is a highly knowledgeable and caring professional, and I needed someone like her to help me sell my sister's home. She and her team kept me informed at every step along the way. She did an outstanding job of staging and marketing the property. I am confident that her expertise and skill in negotiating produced the best outcome possible for me. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a realtor!

Extremely Responsive

We have worked with Silvana both buying and selling homes. She is always extremely responsive and has been a great help in many ways - from tips and resources for maximizing the value of our home, to negotiating every aspect of the deal. We would highly recommend Silvana to represent any buyer or seller.

Unparalleled

As a career Navy officer, we have moved many times across the country from many cities and homes. Silvana and Lane's professionalism and care for us as their customers was unparalleled. They know the market better than anyone and offer sage advice in every aspect of the sale. I would select them over any other Real Estate professional for my home sale.

A Pleasure to Work With

What a pleasure it was to work with you on the sale of my house…! Your professionalism, attention to detail and kindness turned a stressful situation for me into a smooth transaction. Thank you so much and I will be sure to recommend you highly to friends who made need a realtor in the future.

Could Not Have Been Happier

We met Silvana and Lane through a friend of a friend when we decided to purchase a house in San Diego. They were extremely professional and really listened to our needs, likes and dislikes. Of course they found us the perfect house. They are great negotiators and got us a deal we were very happy with. As we were living overseas during this process we depended on them to help us with all the details…. We would recommend Silvana and Lane to anyone looking for caring professionals who are intelligent and thorough. We could not have been happier with our experience. We feel we now have a friend for life as well as a great agent.

Awesome!

We were very happy with Silvana's partnership in both the selling process and the results. She provided frank and professional feedback in the preparation process, she leveraged her network of buyers, and we sold our house in one day for a price that made us very happy. Silvana and her team were awesome!

Most Positive Selling Experience Ever

Between the two of us, having been in the Navy, we have sold several homes. Our experience with Silvana Freestone selling our Poway home was the most positive ever. She suggested practical changes and fixes without ever coming across as negative. She presented us with thorough research on comparable pricing and thoughtfully guided us through the process of establishing a marketable listing for our home. The photographic brochure prepared for our home really showed off the beauty of the home we loved so much. With Silvana one doesn't just hope for the best; she makes it happen.

Honored to Call You a Friend

Silvana thank you – you and Lane have been great to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend you and your services. My wife and I appreciate all the hard work and advice you and Lane have given us…. Jen and I are impressed with you. And we are honored to call you a friend.

Attention to Detail

Silvana assisted us with both the sale of our home and purchase of a new home. Thanks to her, the transactions went very smoothly. Her professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. Not only does Silvana bring a vast knowledge of the Poway area and is therefore able to find homes that fit her clients' specific needs, she has an eye for design that makes her a great resource in preparing a home for sale. On top of her numerous skills, Silvana is pleasant and personable; all around great to work with!

Truly Exceptional

My wife and I moved to San Diego in the summer of 2011 and decided to purchase our first house in the Rancho Bernardo area, where she had grown up. My wife’s sister had purchased her house through Silvana so I thought I knew what to expect, but her calculated questions helped her to quickly narrow down exactly what we were looking for.”

While I was unfamiliar with the area, Silvana did a great job of selecting prospective houses for us to view and guided us through a whirlwind of showings. Silvana did an excellent job of showing us a variety of houses in our range. When we decided to make our purchase, she did a great job of guiding us through the process as first time buyers. All of her references to contractors to fix the issues found upon the home inspection were excellent and performed high quality work.

Fast forward 4 years and a job promotion necessitated a move out of San Diego county right as we were finishing up a remodel on our home. Silvana’s advice for completing the remodel and staging our house proved stellar and we had our house on the market very quickly. We had an acceptable offer within 5 days of listing the house.

As we neared the close of escrow, my wife and I were traveling out of the area. Lane and Silvana were both very easy to contact and very thorough in their negotiations and communication, both with us and the new buyers. We ended up closing on our house at a fantastic price. To go from a dirt front lawn and unfinished bathroom to a completed house sold for a premium in less than a month is a feat we really could have only accomplished with the help of Silvana and Lane. I would not hesitate to recommend Silvana to my closest friends and family; she truly is an exceptional realtor.
