We feel very lucky that Ken was recommended to us to help find our new home in San Diego. He ended up working with us for quite a while, as it took longer than expected to sell our home and be ready to buy. Ken was patient and encouraging, always willing to help in any way during the process. We ended up looking at many, many homes over the months. Ken was helpful and informative with advice on improvements and costs with various fixer homes we looked at. His engineering background and knowledge of home construction came in handy. We finally found our dream home and offer was accepted. Ken was our champion through the inspection and improvement process, making sure all the repairs were completely done and the home was ready for us at the end. He's very detail oriented, which we appreciated. And importantly, he's communicative and responsive through every step, along with being such a nice guy. We highly recommend Ken to help your home dreams come true.
Its rare to find a real estate agency that truly upholds integrity and excellence in their work, but Ken Schwartz clearly sets that standard. His coordination, attention to detail, and genuine care for a successful and fair transaction made a huge impression. I highly recommend Ken to anyone buying or selling real estate. His professionalism, market insight, and commitment to client satisfaction make them one of the best in the business.
After working with two other agents and interviewing several more, we can confidently say Ken is a rare gem in the real estate world. Before Ken, our home sat with no real traction. We were pressured by previous agents to accept low offers that wouldve left thousands of dollars on the table. Then came KenaEUR"and everything changed. From day one, he was kind, thoughtful, and deeply invested in our success, but what truly sets him apart is his strategic mindset and deep market knowledge. He guided us through every decision with clarity and never pressured us to settle. Within one week of going live, our home was in escrowaEUR"at the exact price we asked for. As first-time sellers, we had plenty of questions, but Ken walked us through each step with patience and professionalism. He truly caredaEUR"not just about closing the deal, but about doing what was right for us. If youre looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely on your team, Ken is it. Highly recommend!

Recently had to sell my sister's house after her passing. From the moment I met Ken I knew he was the one for the job. He was honest, upfront, and I knew I could trust him. He handled my situation with compassion and professionalism. He came up with a realalistic plan and executed it perfectly. He updated me as needed and was always available and patient with my questions. He explained things in detail which was greatly appreciated. I could not recommend him enough.
Ken Schwartz was dependable and credible for a couple new to selling a home, accessible, assertive, directive and confident. The fact the buyer was so quickly identified and successfully accommodated to close escrow in 5 days time is testimony to Ken's ability in coordinating and successfully closing. Ken's quietly getting the job done kept stress levels to a minimum. Much appreciated. His team and affiliation with Century 21 all added to the professionalism we found in working with Ken. Never having sold a home before we partnered with Ken it was helpful for us to google "moving", "selling a home", "what to look for in a realtor". Those tidbits of knowledge built confidence for us.
This is an easy 5-star review. Friends of ours referred us to Ken Schwartz after their own glowing experience buying a house In San Diego with him. From beginning to end, Ken made the experience as smooth and painless as possible by offering objective opinions, being proactive with information, and being extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the home buying process, which can be overwhelming at times but that felt well managed with Ken's assistance. Following Ken's advice, we were able to make an offer (our first and only one) that was quickly accepted. Ken helped guide us through the inspection process, helping us to remain realistic about the work that would be required after we moved in, while remaining optimistic. In addition to all of his guidance along the way, Ken set us up with a lender, Josh Lander, who was able to beat the rates provided by several other lenders we had been working with. I would best sum up the experience by saying that Ken makes home buying as easy as it possibly could be, and I highly recommend working with him.
We were incredibly lucky that our friends referred us to Ken. We had a long, exhaustive house hunting journey and Ken never gave up. He is extremely responsive, answering all of our questions and guiding us through our first home buying experience in a very insane housing market. We cannot thank him enough for his knowledge, patience, assertiveness, and friendliness. We highly recommend using him if you have the chance, you will not be disappointed.
After living in San Diego 20 years and retiring from the Military we decided to sell our home and go fulltime in our RV. A neighbor had recently sold their home and was very pleased with their real estate agent, Ken Schwartz. We interviewed four agents and chose Ken to sell our home. Ken was a thorough professional throughout the process. He was always patient, prompt, provided good advice and was very knowledgeable on the housing market. From preparing and staging our home, to the open house, to evaluating 7 offers, to choosing an offer that was $50k above ask, Ken and his team were always responsive to our needs. Ken has also been with us after the sale to close out a couple issue. I can't say enough about Ken!
Ken is a true professional in every sense of the word. Over the course of the last several years, Ken has represented me on multiple transactions as both a buyer and a seller. His attention to detail, clear communication, and deep knowledge of the San Diego market is second to none. I would recommend Ken without hesitation to my family, friends, or business contacts.
We were so fortunate to be referred to Ken by a friend. Not only was he incredibly patient with us as we explored new neighborhoods spanning the entire city, he was always available to help us. Ken is a local and has many years of experience in the San Diego real estate industry. His knowledge of the market was critical for our success in buying a house in one of the all time worst markets (COVID). In addition to helping us find and get our dream house (actually better than we could have dreamt), he's really nice and easy to work with. More importantly, he knows a lot about houses and structural engineering, so he can help save you a lot of time and energy. Not only do I highly recommend Ken to anyone in the market, I've personally recommended him to friends and will certainly seek out his services again should we ever have to sell.
Ken was great in helping us navigate this crazy market as we purchased our first home! Easy to talk to, knowledgeable on all aspects of the process, and always available. Would recommend to anyone!
Great communication he was always available no matter what, a very helpful guy to have for a first-time home buyer he walked me through the entire process and made things extremely easy for me couldn't ask for much more!
Ken is amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable of the various areas in San Diego, true home values, possible credits, financial assistance and smart investments. He knows both sides of home buying both as a seller and buyer; which is great as he let us know whenever a home was overpriced or a steal. He was always very professional and timely. He helped us make offers quickly, increasing our odds of getting our offers accepted in an extremely competitive market . Could not recommend Ken more!
Ken was very easy to work with. We had multiple offers within a week of the listing and the house sold at the high end of the asking range. Ken handled the negotiations with the prospective buyers very well. Very happy with the results.
My husband and I had a great experience selling our house with Ken. Our previous agent couldnt sell our home for 3 months and after going with Ken, he was able to do it right away and the whole process didnt take more than 30 days. We still stay in touch with Ken and plan to work with him when we decide to purchase our next home. Thank you, Ken! Youve been great!!

I greatly enjoyed my experience with Ken. From the beginning it was clearly evident that he knew what he was doing. Ken utilizes modern marketing techniques to include extensive usage of social media in addition to traditional mechanisms such as simply listing the property on MLS. Dont hesitate. Hire Ken. You wont be sorry.
We have had the best experience working with Ken Schwartz! He is a top-notch professional who draws on his expertise and experience to offer sound advice and was able to provide us accurate information to process our decisions at each stage of buying our home. Ken spent a lot of time and energy setting up many home viewings for us because this was our first house, and often the viewings were on the same day. From start to finish, he was timely, thorough, responsive, and always followed up with us. Despite the hurdles of being first time home buyers in a very competitive market (beyond his control), Ken was very patient, willing to answer our questions and discuss all of our possible options. Most importantly, he effectively advocated for our essential needs during negotiation. We are so glad that Ken guided us through the process, could not be happier with the home that we ve found and would do it again! Id give him six stars, if I could and would recommend him without hesitation 100%.
It was a pleasure working with Ken. He has been working in this market for several years and he has a firm grasp on the trends and expectations of the local housing market. We viewed several homes and he was there every step of the way. He was prepared with relevant documents/handouts and armed with answers provided from listing agents. He provided important advice that was succinct and sensible. His years of experience showed in his prudent and persistent negotiating skills; he always kept my best interests in mind.I would recommend him to anyone, and will look him up if I need to make another move.
Ken was fantastic, Both my wife and I were unfamiliar with the real estate market in San Diego county and Ken was able to show us numerous houses without any scheduling conflicts and provided us with all of the pertinent information regarding the listings. Ken was extremely easy to contact with any questions and concerns with first time buying/commitments, great with scheduling any further inspections and the whole home buying process. I cannot thank Ken enough for everything and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a house in the future!
My wife and I just got the keys to our very firs condo. We were so impressed with Ken and we highly recommend him to any buyer interested in a trustworthy, responsive, and caring professional. Buying a home is an intense process and Ken was always willing to do whatever he could to make the process easy and understandable for us. Ken has lots of connections with vendors to get good deals on repairs. Ken was also a strong negotiator who got us credit on our closing costs, even though our accepted offer was $15,000 below asking. He also really got to know what we wanted and did not try to get us to purchase a house we could not afford to gain a higher fee. We are very happy we chose Ken as our agent and we plan to use him for all of our real estate related needs in the future.
It was a pleasure to have an agent like Ken.He was very helpful and patience through the whole process.He is always communicating with us and answers all the question and make sure everything is okay .He is knowledgeable and hardworking agent.I always recommend him to anyone who is need to buy a house.If you need an agent dont hesitate to call Ken .He is the best agent you can work with.Thank you so much for everything Ken.
Ken was awesome! We completed a transaction from Northern California and were not able to be at the home for the walkthroughs or inspections. Ken was able to make sure that everything went smoothly when we couldnt be there. He provided us top quality videos and pictures of our new home during the entire process. He is really responsive and knowledgable about the entire process. Before I would ask a question, he seemed to already know what it would be and answered it prior. This is our third home purchase and both wife and I were both really impressed with Ken. I highly recommend him as your real estate agent.
I really liked working with Ken. He was considerably patient since we initially didn't know what area of San Diego we were looking for. He showed us a list of MLS homes that met our criteria. We picked homes ALL over San Diego county, and he created an itinerary to view all the homes. Set up appts in ones we needed to view. Made the home searching very efficient.

Ken was knowledgeable and professional through all phases of the process. He helped us understand the market situation and adjust the price of our home while it was on the market. He seemed good at sensing our emotional state - a difficult skill that is probably important for all real estate agents. All in all, we are very happy with Ken and would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

I would recommend Ken to ANYONE. He is so dedicated to his clients having the best experience as possible and he goes above and beyond to make sure that happens. He took his time in selecting homes that he thought would be a good fit for me and my needs as a first time home-buyer. He was always patient and understanding when I would go into places I was unsure about or did not like. Ken showed me his professionalism and love for real estate every time we met: he walked me through the complicated process, was unafraid to speak up when other individuals in the process weren't meeting deadlines, and was reliable every step of the way. Ken is the definition of professional: he treated me with respect and shared my excitement for the purchase of my first home! Go with Ken if you're looking for a real estate agent in San Diego or a surrounding area!

Our home was so poorly marketed that it sat for 90 days until the listing expired while an endless stream of the wrong buyers traipsed through it, apparently unimpressed with the "wow factor" upgrades and features of the property. We hired Ken for his marketing plan and network of resources, and received an offer for asking price within six days of his listing going live. Ken got the right people to see the home and his results speak for themselves!

Ken was extremely patient, professional, and knowledgeable. He wasn t pushy and was always logical about the properties we saw together (which was A LOT). Ken navigated thru my tricky, unusual escrow without any hiccups. He always kept me informed and I trusted he had my best interest. I d recommend anyone to Ken without hesitation.
Ken has always been honest ,realistic ,open and responsive to all my requests questions and curiosities about the market. He not only sold my home quickly but got me more than I asked and then helped me find another home. Huge transition made easier for me. Ken was always available and replied to all by inquiries quickly Ken impressed me with his professionalism and his caring attitude ,doing anything and going above and beyond by making sure things were done and all the details were taken care of without even being asked. Would recommend him to anyone wanting to sell or buy a home in the san diego area

I would give Ken 10 stars across the board, but the rating system only goes up to 5. Ken delivered on everything he said he would, and got us a higher than listed sales price to boot. After contracting with 2 other agents over the course of a year and receiving either low-ball offers (2nd agent) or no offers at all (1st agent), Ken received 2 offers almost right away. He closed the deal with minimal incremental costs to us - and within a very short time-frame. He is an awesome negotiator! I highly recommend Ken for all of you real estate needs.
Ken sold my home that other agents struggled to sell in 6 weeks. Half that time was the escrow period, beating the standard 30 days. Ken is skilled at not just marketing a property, but actually selling it. His closing/negotiation skills are second-to-none: He came up with a deal that proved beneficial on both the buying and selling ends. Ken is a superstar real estate agent in my opinion, and I would definitely recommend his service to anyone in the market to buy or sell a home.
Ken helped me buy this house 3 years ago and it was a no brainer to go with him again for the sale. He is extremely communicative and knowledgeable about market dynamics and the rules/regulations of buying and selling. He makes the entire process very painless. Thanks Ken!

The bottom line is that Ken sold our place which was not an easy task at all. Our place was listed for six months with another Realtor and had a few major amenities missing and we were still able to sell at a good price with Ken having an offer in two weeks after he took the listing. Nothing else really matters does it? If it does, then that was all good as well. I would recommend Ken as a selling Realtor to anyone.
Ken was extremely helpful in the entire house buying process. From the beginning, he was very professional and courteous. He helped explain the house buying process and answered all our questions from start to finish. My wife and I were shocked at how easy and smooth the process was. We even were able to close early. We love our new home and would highly recommend Ken.
I never met Ken in person! All of our contact was by phone and internet 3,000 miles apart.I had a condo on the market for 6 months. My then agent got several offers but could not finalize a sale. I interviewed many agents by phone, and was most impressed with Kens knowledge of the market, professionalism and ability to work with me from a distance. In just a short time, I had several offers and closed the sale. Ken had the experience to know how to properly guide the process and make it go smoothly for both the buyer and the seller at the best price. I highly recommend Ken.
Ken was extremely helpful in finding my new condo, financing my new condo and refurnishing my new condo. It has been a little over two months since I first contacted Ken and now I am a proud homeowner. He walked me through the entire process and was willing to accommodate my busy work schedule to meet whatever need I had. I will absolutely refer any of my friends looking to buy a home to him.
I met with 3 agents before deciding to go with Ken. He was very prepared and professional from the very beginning. He had done his homework before meeting me and provided a detailed breakdown of the estimated selling price, closing costs and how much I would make net profit. We ended up selling at the exact price he estimated. He was very responsive any time I had any questions. He would provide me detailed information and took time to explain my options without being pushy. If you want an agent you can trust to protect your best interest, Ken is your guy. I was very happy with the experience and would highly recommend him.
I met Ken when he was a property manager for my condo in River Colony. He left that post a couple of years ago and when I decided to sell my condo, I remembered his professionalism and competence and decided to contact him to handle the sale. I couldnt have been more right about my decision nor more pleased with the results.Ken was incredibly communicative throughout the process and the end result was a sale at a wholly acceptable price. I would and will definitely recommend him!
Previous to Ken selling my condo, I had also used Ken's services to rent out my property for 4 years. I highly recommend Ken's services and expertise in meeting your home buying or selling needs.

I recommend Ken to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, patient, genuine real estate agent. My husband and I were looking for someone to help us find a home, and I was so lucky to have met him when I called about a house he was showing. I immediately knew that I wanted him to help us in our search. After several months of several disappointments, Ken finally helped us close on the perfect home for our family. He was extremely patient during the entire process, never hesitating to show us houses no matter how busy his schedule. He never pushed us into anything just because he wanted to make a sale. In fact, he would always point out the negative things about a house because he didn't want us to rush and make a mistake. Basically, he looked out for us like he would his own family. He promptly returned calls and emails and answered all our questions in detail. He was extremely knowledgeable about any questions we had. I completely recommend Ken to anyone looking for a realtor with integrity and commitment to his clients.
