ZillowVERIFIEDI chose Joseph because his extensive experience in home sales as well as undeveloped land. From the very start, Joseph laid out a clear plan of how to best achieve selling my property. Joseph goes to work right away. He is in constant communication throughout the entire process and makes sure you are involved in every decision. Joseph is thorough and does everything possible to show you that he is the right person for the job. I highly recommend Joseph Arendsen for selling/buying property.

ZillowVERIFIED Joseph assisted my brother and me sell my mother's home (Fire Mountain, Oceanside) in which she had lived 65 years and where the two of us had grown up. Joseph arrived at the first meeting absolutely prepared. He had carefully analyzed the comps in the area so arriving at a selling price that we were all confident and comfortable with - did not take long. The entire process from start to finish (close of escrow) was seamless. Joseph is professional, communicative and easy to work with along with his entire team. Bottom line: I recommend highly and I would rely on Joseph for future needs.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I just bought a home in Oceanside while still living on the East Coast, and I cant believe how smooth Joseph made the whole process. Even with the distance, he was always ready with a plan, quick to answer our questions, and so reassuring during the stressful moments. He truly went above and beyond, like helping us find trusted contractors for work wed like to do on the house. Joseph is not only a talented realtor but also such a kind and easy person to work with. We feel so grateful and couldnt be happier with our new home!

ZillowVERIFIED From the moment I met with Joseph on the prospect of him and his team selling my home, I knew I was in good hands. Joseph, Marla and the entire team were incredibly wonderful to work during the entire process. As I was already in process of moving across the U.S., I felt very comfortable knowing that I left my CA home in good hands with them. They stayed in constant contact with me, answered my myriad of questions quickly, and patiently helped me navigate all the details of the selling process. They genuinely cared about doing a great job for me, and in representing me and my interests. My home had several offers the first week it went on the market, and the whole process was handled efficiently and timely. I can't recommend them enough to anyone wanting a solid team to help with their buying and/or selling needs. You will know that they have your best interest at heart.

ZillowVERIFIED We had an amazing experience with Joseph, Chad, and their team. Clear and timely communication throughout the process, help make the right decisions and a very happy ending. We couldn't have asked for more. It took us less than 3 weeks from the moment we contacted the team and to get money in our account.

ZillowVERIFIED We had an absolute amazing experience with True Local! We worked with both Joseph and Ben, who were both kind and professional, but most of our communication and work was done directly with Ben. He was patient with us as we navigated this crazy housing market. Ben took his time searching for homes that were in our budget, had what we were looking for, and were in an area that would benefit our growing family. We could not have found and purchased our home without the knowledge Ben had and shared with us. We had such a positive experience and are now happy living in our first home! Thank you Ben, we are grateful for you!

ZillowVERIFIED Chad was an extremely helpful realtor! My first time buying a piece of property was very easy thanks to ChadaEUR~s hard work, dedication, and persistency when the escrow process got tough.

ZillowVERIFIED Joseph is so knowledgeable, available and generous I cant see myself ever working with anyone else. His advice was spot on in a crazy market, and thanks to him, I was able to purchase a stellar investment property at a decent price.

ZillowVERIFIED I am beyond happy and forever grateful to Joseph and his team. Being the trustee to my parents estate I had a huge list of responsibilities. One of which was selling their home, which needed a ton of work to get it ready to list. I didnt know how I was going to manage it. Joseph and his team assessed what was needed, managed and scheduled all the workers, paid the invoices as they came in (through their concierge service), took care of last minute issues with the home and saved me from going completely crazy. Hands down the top realtor in Carlsbad. A+++.

ZillowVERIFIED If you read one review here, read this one: Joseph and his team went above and beyond for us, and helped us find our dream home in an incredibly competitive market aEUR" we could not have asked for a better realtor and cannot recommend him enough. When we started the search for our dream home all our friends told us that it would be incredibly difficult to do so in the amazingly competitive SD market, amid a global pandemic that caused record low mortgage interest rates and a dwindling housing supply. We knew this would be an uphill battle, and that we would need to find a truly special realtor to help guide us through it. We found Joseph through reviews just like this one, and after reading stories of how he helped countless first-time homebuyers find their dream home, we decided to take him on as our realtor - which was probably the best decision we made throughout this entire process. From day one, Joseph took the time to learn about us, about our family, and about what we are searching for in a home. We werent just looking to flip a house, we wanted a place that our kids and future grandkids would want to come to during the holidays. A place that the entire family would call aEURoehomeaEUR?. Joseph and his team worked tirelessly to surface homes to us, responding to our emails day and night, and pushed to get us showings as often and as soon as possible. Eventually, it was through a suggestion made by him that we found our new home. He told us aEURoetrust me guys, go see this oneaEUR?. And we did, and we fell in love with it. From that point on, he did everything possible to make sure not only that we got the home, but that we got it for a reasonable price (considering the market). He made the seemingly complex process of contracts, offers and contingencies palatable, and was with us through every step of the way, from the day we made the offer (with his help), to the day he finally handed us the keys to our dream home. He is an outstanding realtor, and he truly put his heart and soul into our search and made us feel like we were his only clients. We could not be happier with him and will gladly recommend him to anybody searching for a home in the San Diego area. Thank you again for making this happen, Joseph!

ZillowVERIFIED Joseph and his team were highly recommended. Their professionalism and responsiveness made me feel very comfortable buying a home during a pandemic and exceptionally competitive market.

ZillowVERIFIED Looking for a Realtor? With TrueLocalRealty you get a complete teamHere is how to find it, just call or email Marla. Professional, Honest, Reliable, Caring, and Sincere, I could continue on with all of the adjectives that apply to this business organization, but I wont. I will just tell you what they did for us.I knew that one day I would have to downsize and that is when I met Marla. She introduced me to Joseph Arendsen the founder of TrueLocalRealty. Finally, after already purchasing a smaller home in a different state, the decision was made, it was time to put my house on the market and I chose TrueLocal Realty to handle the sale.The marketing campaign began and it was first class. You Tube video, Professional photos (which included 3D viewing and shots using a drone).Then just as the first open house was about to take place COVID 19 reared its ugly head. We decided to proceed with the open house and it was a great success. Because of the virus we were stuck in another state. We had furnishings that needed to be removed from the home being sold and those items needed to be stored for future use. Marla and Joseph said no worry, they would handle everything. This long story needs to be shortened, so here it is: All of the things the team at TrueLocalRealty said they would handle, they did and the home sold for $25,000 over the asking price.As they said they would, TrueLocalRealty handled all of the packing and storage of the items that needed to be removed from the home after the sale. Other than the open house, the complete process took place from long distance without a hitch and escrow closed within 21 days. I highly recommend TrueLocalRealty and give them a Five Star rating. Simply the best !!!

ZillowVERIFIED Joseph and his team are superlative! We have used his service to sell one house in Carlsbad and purchase another in Oceanside. His advice brought us a buyer for the Carlsbad property in two days at a price exceeding what we thought we would get. He streamlined the complicated process of moving, sprucing, staging, presenting and closing the sale. In purchasing our home in Oceanside, he locked in a good deal in the presence of those bidding higher on the property. He helped us secure excellent financing and saved us thousands of dollars in processing and insurance fees. Being new property, several things have needed to be corrected. Joseph has diligently stayed with us all the way with recommendations and advocacy. Throughout the years we have purchased and sold several residences, vacation, rental and business properties, and never received the easy access, outstanding service, punctuality, attention to detail, follow-through and cheerful friendliness Joseph has given us. We unreservedly recommend him as the most outstanding realtor you will find anywhere. Richard and Mona A.

ZillowVERIFIED We would highly recommend JOSEPH as a real estate agent. He is extremely knowledgeable of the San Diego county which was valuable for us as we were relocating from Northern California. He is very easy to work with and patient. He gave us a great overview of the area and enabled us to select the ideal location for our new house. We loved working with him so much that our daughter used him as her realtor for her house.

ZillowVERIFIED The Arendsen group is what all realtors should aspire to be. Professional, trustworthy, honest and friendly. Joseph took care of the sale of our house he gave us good advice on listing it and how we should show it to help give top dollar. He worked very hard during our short escrow to make sure everything was ship shape, done correctly and made sure we were entirely happy with the outcome. The amount of professionalism that Joseph and his team have is unmistakable. He was our realtor when we bought our condo and our realtor when we sold it. He will always be our realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED I purchased my home in 2016 with Joseph as my realtor. Through the years he continued to help me if I had any questions about the housing market or anything else, always responding quickly. I enjoyed getting his market reports through email as well. Needless to say, when I decided to sell my house, I didn't think twice about having him and his team handle everything, from start to finish which wasn't long. They guided me through the entire process from getting my home ready for the beautiful photos taken for the MLS, Zillow, etc., listed it as coming soon, and by the time the Open House came, my house had an offer. Everything was executed so smoothly, which can only happen with a knowledgeable real estate team. I cannot say enough positive things about Joesph and him team. Thank you!!

ZillowVERIFIED Joseph Arendsen and his entire team are rock stars! They are professional, knowledgeable, flexible and so nice! They clearly understand how to deliver stellar customer service and they helped us find our dream house! And we weren't easy customers. We started looking for a new house 3 years before we made the big move and relocated to San Diego from Northern California. Joseph was so patient and helpful during our long journey. He even helped us vet realtors to sell our home and reviewed our buyer's contract! And when we finally were ready to find our forever house he found us something that exceeded our wildest expectations. I'll be recommending all my friends and family to Joseph and his team forever!

ZillowVERIFIED I met Marla in 2014 when I moved from Temecula to Carlsbad. When I finally got serious about looking for a home in North County - and after a few high-pressure sales tactics from other realtors in the area - Marla was the first person I called to help me with my home purchase. Once we found the perfect home, Marla had the offer together and financing started in less than two hours. From offer to close - she was smart, responsive, and attentive - never once leaving me to question or wonder what was happening next. If you are in the market for a home and are looking for a consummate professional who will listen and not just make the sale - Marla and The Arendsen Group will go above and beyond!

ZillowVERIFIED Joseph Arendsen is a realtor that was highly recommended to us by a personal friend. We contracted with Joseph in February 2018 and had our first of 5 offers within 4 weeks.Joseph worked with us to stage the house, provide pictures and videos of our home to all related internet providers for maximum exposure, personally host all prospective buyers for a tour of our property, and finally worked with us to manage offers and counter offers until the property finally sold. This effort took both patience and a personal commitment to get our desired price after negotiating 5 different offers over a period of 8 months.Based on our experience in selling our home with Joseph Arendsen, I would rate his service as a 5 out of 5 stars. To repeat, selecting Arendsen Realty as your agent is highly recommended.Joyce and Tony Genna

ZillowVERIFIED I highly recommend Joseph Arendsen... He recently sold our condo in two days, 5k over asking, and closed It in under 30 days. Joseph guided us through the entire process and always responded to our questions promptly. We no longer live in the San Diego area so he helped us greatly preparing the home for sale and made the transaction very easy from a distance. I couldnt be happier with the outcome and I would definitely use The Arendsen Group again for my real estate needs!

ZillowVERIFIED When we met Joseph, we had just come out of two terrible experiences with other agents, with whom our experiences were extremely stressful and unsuccessful. Then we got lucky and found Joseph! What a gem! So warm, friendly, professional, efficient, and ever willing to meet and work to make it happen for us. He never slowed down, but was never pushy or aggressive. He took quiet control every time we needed it; with the seller, with financing, with anything and everything. He made our experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible, and in the end I am sitting in my dream home typing this review. Would I recommend Joseph? Of course! And I already have! Thank you, Joseph!!

ZillowVERIFIED We have worked with Joseph at the Arendson Group on three different properties. Each transaction was handled with a significant amount of customer-centric service from him. All details and questions were handled expeditiously and professionally. When small issues arose as they do with most of these events, Joseph made sure he went the extra mile to resolve. Two of the properties we purchased were for investments. The third was a new home for my wife and I. Honestly did not want to leave the home I was living in so I created a list of needs I felt would be impossible to find just to aEURoesomewhataEUR? discourage Joseph without offending him in a way that would affect our business relationship and keep my wife happy with her desire to find a new home for us since she was constantly sending him homes to investigate. So I requested a home that was less than $750K, no older than 10 years old, at least 3400sq/ft., single story with over a half acre of property, built in pool, open floor plan with gourmet kitchen area, master bath with a large soaking tub, in a nice SoCal neighborhood within 4 miles from our current residence. Well, he found exactly that! Every item checked off. We are moving into to it after some personalized renovations in about six weeks. I still cant believe he found it!He also has offered to help us rent or sell the other homes we own. As far as were concerned, there is no better realtor out there and we would use no one else. Even after the sale, he assisted with documents for insurance and renovation contacts. This agency is full service. I highly recommend using them for all your realty needs. I know we will!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Joseph is the consummate real-estate professional.He is organized. Our home search was always productive/educational.He is patient. We looked at several homes. The house needed to meet our 3 Cs of home buying- cost, community, and commute. It also had to meet the needs of our ageing parents.He is tech savvy. We utilized his website, we could always contact him by phone, email or text. He was always prompt in replying to our inquiries.His concern for his clients didnt end at the home purchase. He has been an invaluable resource in suggesting movers, painters etc.This is our third home purchase. Joseph is the best real-estate person that we have worked with.Gail D.

ZillowVERIFIED Joseph has managed several of my properties for nearly four years, as well has acting as a sales agent for me. I have always felt I could rely on his judgement and abilities. I've used a few property managers over the years and far and away Joseph has been the best one that I've worked with. He has done an outstanding job in dealing with tenants to both meet their expectations and not allow them to become unreasonable. He was able to get the best possible lease terms for me also, even when he had to deal with tenants I consider to be difficult.Recently, he helped me in the sale of a condo that included getting renovation work done before the sale. Joseph listened to what I wanted to have done and provided useful advice and coordination of the tasks. We had a successful sale that came in at full asking price and within only a few days of listing. I could not have possibly done that without Joseph's efforts. He went beyond what most agents and managers would be willing to do.He has sole two properties for me at this point and I've be very satisfied with the maximization of necessary fix up work he help arrange as well as the sale prices we were able to recoup.He continues to manage some of my other properties and I will be using him again for future sales. He is someone I can count on and that is hard to find.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I recently purchased a home with Joseph's help. We didn't have a clear description for what we wanted - just vague concepts. Since we didnt have specifics, we often changed our minds. Joseph was incredibly patient, adapted readily to our changes with a smile, and continually found homes that suited our needs. Further, he provided many other services including arranging a reliable painting contractor for the home we sold as well others for the home we purchased. I HIGHLY recommend Joseph Arendsen if you are seeking a professional, full-service realtor with a GREAT personality, can-do attitude, and who knows the San Diego market.

ZillowVERIFIED I met Joseph at an open home down the street from my home. We hit it off so when we were ready go buy another home we called him. After a few meetings and calls we were off to look at homes. Joseph took my list of requirements and found us the perfect home. He helped us throughout the sale by staying on top of the seller and his agent, and ensuring that everything was working smoothly. When the seller tried to pull a fast one or was non responsive Joseph was there to fix the problem. So we're we happy? Yes, we were so happy about how it went that we used Joseph again to sell our old home. Joseph cares about his clients and he is responsive. When I called or texted him there was a response in just a few minutes. Would I use him again? Yes I would. I'd even let my mom use him to buy or sell a house.

My Girlfriend and I had been wanting to buy a home for a while and we finally had that opportunity this month. He was absolutely the coolest and most professional agent I have ever talked to. He was patient, kind, understanding and made us feel comfortable throughout our whole adventure. Because of this, my girlfriend and I closed on our very first home on February 8th 2016.

ZillowVERIFIED We recently purchased our first home in Oceanside. Mr. Arendsen made the process a wonderful experience. If we had any questions or concerns, he responded right away with answers or updates. He had a wide range of homes to view and made sure we viewed all options of what was available, where we wanted to live. We knew what we wanted and he delivered it. I'm from Oceanside and was very impressed with his knowledge of the schools, neighborhoods and local places. Our purchase was negotiated with everything we wanted and in a timely manner. His knowledge and expertise are the best and we highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIED We have just recently purchased a home in Oceanside, Ca.. Not really knowing the area for real estate, I went online to check properties out. I wanted to look at Oceanside down to Encinitas. The web page popped up coastal communities and realtors. Not knowing anyone in the area for help,I really wanted to find someone who was very familiar with the areas of interest for my family and myself. I wanted a safe and nice area to live and have my daughter grow up with nice school districts also. After putting some of my interests down on the web page , I received an email back from an individual realtor. His name was Joseph Arendsen. I had no ideal what this man could do for us or how long he had been in the realty business. I emailed him back and then went on line to look up his bio. I was pleasantly surprised that he is as knowledgeable has he came across, especially for someone moving to an unknown area of interest. He grew up in the Oceanside area and was very familiar with the nice and the not so pleasing areas of Oceanside. Which by the way, I must also say kudos to the city of Oceanside for stepping up to the plate and transforming Oceanside making this an inviting place to live. Which it was not even a thought over ten years ago for me. Back to Joseph. The man spent the time with me even after finding out I was not going to be an easy sale. I had a criteria that was not an easy one to fulfill. After a couple visits, Joseph and I signed an agreement and from that point, the hunt was on. after the first three to four homes we looked at Joseph had a good feel for what and where I would even consider looking at to live. After ten homes of interest, Joseph scored by taking us by this one place that he didn't even think would be our definitive pick. We met him there. My family and I right off the bat were pleased at what we saw so far. Joseph still insisted we look at a couple more. We went with him knowing we wanted what we just saw . Joseph would have come up with something over the top to top this one. Joseph got on the phone right away to call the selling agent to find the specifics on this property. I kept hounding him to please get in direct touch with the selling agent to see if we could put a bid in. He took us to see the others but my interest was still on the one property. Finally that day Joseph let us know he had made contact and that wheels for this property could be in motion. he kept in continuous contact with us and always explained the good with the possible not so good. He was truly making an effort to get us what we wanted. The MAN put in some serious efforts to pull the strings I was demanding for this deal. needless to say we are in our home of chose and ''Thanks to Joseph'' with the knowledge he has of the area and his constant contact and efforts and team of people he uses it was made possible!!!! My family and I thank you Joseph and we would refer you to our friends and family and anyone who might be thinking of buying in this area. ( I am still customizing the home so it is the way we want it inside and out but that is minimal.) = )) THANK YOU!!! Randy, Nancy, Zoe.
