ZillowVERIFIEDLenna is wonderful at what she does! She found us the perfect, off-market home, during a time when there was very low inventory in the neighborhood we wanted to move to. She was easy to work with and fun to spend time with!

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our Del Mar home purchase. She was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and always had our familys best interests in mind. Even when unexpected challenges arose, she remained calm, professional, and solution-oriented. What impressed us most was her ability to build trust and bring everyone together through a complex family decision. We always felt informed, supported, and confident because of her guidance. We are grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend Lenna to anyone looking for a thoughtful and exceptional real estate professional.

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna was absolutely excellent. This is the second time we have utilized her expertise in finding a residence in San Diego. We are victims of the Eaton fire in Pasadena and loss everything. We temporary relocated with our son who Lenna secured a lovely townhouse a few years earlier. She had to deal with clients who were obviously experiencing tremendous stress trying to locate a second forever home. She expertly handled everything including contributing funds to help us temporarily. Trust her, we have twice and will continue to do so.

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna Doyle and her assistant Brianna Keys did an absolutely fantastic job securing a dream home for us in our preferred location of northern San Diego County. Seeking such a home seemed like a daunting task given we were living on the East Coast and had to rely on a couple of weekend trips to visit homes in person. However, Lenna and Bri kept in constant touch by email and phone, giving us Facetime tours of new listings and making inquiries to sellers and their agents promptly and efficiently no matter the day or time. Lenna's knowledge of the Southern California market is exceptional, and she uses only first-rate inspectors, remediation experts, and contractors to ensure we're getting the best service. (One particularly meticulous inspection saved us from buying a home that had serious hidden problems.) Our relationship with Lenna and Bri has continued well past the home purchase date, as they remain in touch to guarantee that we are getting solid advice as we pursue some remodeling projects. We wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone seeking to move to this region, including the Encinitas, Carlsbad, La Jolla and San Diego neighborhoods!

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna helped me sell my condo recently. Lenna is efficient, thorough and very helpful. She helped me with every part of the sale, from marketing to closing. I have 100% trust and confidence in her. Property sales can be stressful, but Lenna has the experience and knowledge to expedite the sale and make things as easy as possible.

ZillowVERIFIED People say aEUR?you get the house youre meant to have" and that aEURoethings happen for a reason." The fact of the matter is, when youre looking for a home in San Diego, you need someone with the kind of talent, skill, and elan that Lenna has. She goes above and beyond and makes things happen without brute force; instead she engages in clear communication and strategic planning. She anticipates potential issues before they arise and handles everything with remarkable ease. Shes not afraid to submit offers under listing if thats appropriate. And she does all of her research and truly listens to your "wants" and "dont wants." She is even-keeled and yet, if you dont get a particular house, she has empathy for how painful the process can be. She is a generous soul with an intellect to match. She offered to pick me up at the airport twice when I flew in to view a couple of houses. No one would balk at 6% commissions these days if all realtors were like Lenna. But theyre not. She is one in 1 million. If you have the opportunity to work with her, dont hesitate. She is one of the best. Her talent and skill in navigating the complexities of the real estate landscape are unparalleled. Thanks to Lenna, I secured my dream home without any of the usual headaches. She truly went above and beyond, demonstrating a level of competence and commitment that sets her apart from others in the field. Whether youre buying or selling, you won't find a better partner in your real estate journey. Thank you, Lenna. Your incredible understanding of the market, and your strategic approach to pricing and negotiations was crucial in closing our deal quickly and efficiently . . . and it was actually fun! Every step of the way!

ZillowVERIFIED If I could give Lenna 10 stars, or 100 stars I would. She helped us get a rental property ready for sale after my father's passing. Her advice and expertise landed us a great price, far above what we expected. The property had a lot of deferred maintenance, and she helped us make decisions on what should be fixed/updated and what was best left alone. She was also very active in decision making for the work we were doing. She provided excellent referrals for people to help us with work on the property, as we managed the work ourselves. When a glitch happened with our first offer - completely out of Lenna's control - she dealt with it quickly and efficiently. We thought that losing the first offer might have an effect on the price we received, but due to her hard work, we were still able to receive a very good price on the sale! MOST importantly, she helped us manage differences of opinion among the co-trustees with grace and a positive attitude. She did not take sides and was able to find the best qualities in everyone, and helped us in working together. Lenna's calm, kind, yet "get-it-done" personality is EXACTLY what you want in your realtor! HIRE HER!!

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna helped us sell our Condo in late September and was sold within 4 days! Her knowledge in the market's area was instrumental in determining how to set the selling price. Lenna was very involved and very understanding with all our questions. We were confident of her esteem guidance. The end results went Thankfully perfect! This whole process went so well that we can say Lenna is a forever confidant Friend in our lives! I would recommend her to all my Family and Friends.

ZillowVERIFIED We had many reasons to be worried about this sale: an empty home needing upgrades, our physical distance from La Jolla, our time constraints, a squishy market. Lenna listened to us, reassured us, took charge of every aspect of this sale. She prescribed modest upgrades, drew on her list of reliable contractors, was on site constantly and touched base with us every day. She recommended a pre-inspection, which was a great move. We listed on a Friday, had an open house Saturday, and 7 bids by Sunday night, including four above our asking price and two all cash. Lenna was a great negotiator, always providing us with good, gentle advice and suggestions . We closed on time three weeks later. Our closing costs were lower than we had budgeted and we walked away with considerably more than we had originally anticipated. Also, we had a tax deadline for this sale and met it with room to spare. We were thrilled. No way we could have done this without Lenna. We can't recommend her strongly enough.

ZillowVERIFIED If you want a professional, steadfast, competent agent who looks out for your interest, Lenna is the one to call. I'm an investor from Texas looking to buy our first property in a competitive SD market and Lenna provided so much help and guidance. In 5 months and numerous bidding wars, Lenna helped us land a great property I can't wait to renovate. Looking forward to more deals with Lenna in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna has been a trustful and hugely professional partner throughout the entire process. She helped me find a great place within a very short time, offered lots of valuable advice during the negotiation phase and managed the entire process and communication with lots of expertise and skill. I very much enjoyed working with her and have lots of respect and appreciation for her efforts. Thanks Lenna for making this as smooth an experience for me as can be!

ZillowVERIFIED This was our first real estate purchase in California. Lenna responded promptly when I reached out for help with the purchase transaction. They kept the process moving forward because of our desire to close as quickly as possible. Lenna is a skillful negotiator and educated us on all of the specifics of California real estate. Her and her associate, Natalie, were always immediately available for questions, were attentive, friendly, and professional. By the time of the closing we considered them as newly made friends in CA.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I worked with Lenna from December 2020 through January 2021 while we looked for (and found!) our first home. Lenna made an intimidating and overwhelming process very clear and understandable. She was very responsive and open to getting us in to see houses quickly since the market really demands that right now, even though our search area was pretty wide. She was supportive and explained things thoroughly so we could feel confident about what we were doing. Thank you, Lenna!

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Lenna was a dream! My wife and I were a bit intimidated by the home buying process, as this was our first home. Lenna was approachable and made it feel easy, explaining every step along the way. She was always available when we needed her or had questions, and when it came to pros and cons of buying the home we were interested in, she gave honest feedback, which we appreciated. We have already recommended her to friends, and will continue to do so. Great experience -- thanks, Lenna!

ZillowVERIFIED I very highly recommend Lenna Doyle. She is so personable, friendly and most importantly very honest. You definitely feel like she wants you to find the perfect home for you just as much as you do. She is also extremely knowledgeable and made sure that I was extremely clear and comfortable with all the details of my home purchase. She will stay on your home finding journey as long as it takes to find you the perfect home and when you do find it she will make sure to do everything in her power to make sure to negotiate the terms of the sale.

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna is the consummate real estate professional and was invaluable to us in our recent purchase of a condo that will be our "forever home". She has outstanding interpersonal skills, enormous expertise, unquestioned integrity, and almost immediate responsiveness. She knows when to push you and when to encourage you, so you'll be supported unequivocally. From our initial meeting with her, we had no question that she was the realtor for us, and we were correct in that determination. If we could give her 10 out of 5 stars, we would!

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna is an absolutely fabulous person and realtor. She seamlessly helped us buy a home in San Diego while we were still living out of the country. It adds a layer of stress to move back home from outside the United States, but Lenna made everything normal, easy and fast. She is extremely organized and knowledgeable and worked calmly and quickly under tight timelines. Lenna is one of the finest people I have worked with, and we have bought 5 homes, and we trusted her immediately. Every detail of buying the house went smoothly thanks to Lenna and we could not recommend her more! She deserves 10 stars as she even left us toilet paper and champagne as our housewarming !!!

ZillowVERIFIED Throughout the process of purchasing our new home, I never found myself thinking of Lenna as a realtor, but instead a helpful ally. We were in the unique position of having to make the purchase while out of the country, yet with Lenna I completely trusted everything would get taken care of, and it did. She shepherded us through, no task slipped past her and she was even able to step in to pick up keys, perform inspections, connect us with the utilities we would need, and even organize fumigation. Without someone like Lenna our deal would not have gotten done and we are very grateful. To us she is not a realtor but a friend who looked out for us

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna was wonderful to work with when we purchased our home. She was very transparent with every step of the process and made sure we clearly understood all terms outlined in the paperwork. She was knowledgeable about the San Diego market and did not have a 'high pressure' sales tactic. She was patient and supportive of our decisions throughout the negotiation process. It was all around a great experience working with Lenna and would highly recommend her!

ZillowVERIFIED We were very pleased working with Lenna as our realtor. In the short time that we could devote for house hunting, Lenna was so accommodating and worked with our schedule and our requirements to show us all our options. She coordinated everything from start to finish, streamlined the process from mortgage approval till close of escrow, all the while maintaining an excellent communication with us. To this moment, Lenna is still providing us invaluable help to facilitate the needed repairs for the house. As NorCal residents, we were thrilled to be referred to a longtime SD local like her whose knowledge of the area was outstanding. We could not have asked for more!

ZillowVERIFIED We've worked with Lenna twice to both buy and sell our house, and we've been extremely pleased with her knowledge and dedication both times. She does her research and goes out of her way to take care of things that, as a buyer or seller, you may not be aware of. She explains all the processes in detail and helps you feel comfortable with your decisions. She will go above and beyond to help you. She really knows the market and trends and my wife and I would highly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna is an amazing realtor that really cares about her clients. She has now sold us 2 homes and I would recommend her to everyone. She is extremely patient and keeps our best interests in mind. With our first home, I had other realtors try to pressure us into homes we didn't feel comfortable, meanwhile Lenna would always steer us back to our original assessment and remind us of our "non-negotiables". I also felt I could be honest with our budget and what we were comfortable with while others may try to get you to max out what you're qualified for. She also makes us feel important regardless of our budget / location; you can tell with some agents they're straining to be excited about the area. She's extremely patient as we started looking for our new home more than 3 years ago. Throughout the purchasing process, she really gives a full-service product. She makes sure you're protected and getting a fair deal (i.e. we wouldn't remove contingencies until everything was in place to make sure we didn't lose our deposit). She recommended repair people and even made some calls to get things started (which is technically not her job!). She recommended property managers for our condo and had tips on where to list it to get it rented. She also fought to get at least some of the closing costs on both of our sales to cover repairs / other costs. As a comparison, on an investment property when I suggested that to an out-of-state agent, he never called me back! She's genuine and cares a great deal about the quality of her work. She had even remembered that one of our reasons for our original purchase was that we wanted to have and dog. Once everything went through she even sent us information about a rescue, which he has been with us now for 6 years!

ZillowVERIFIED Everyone wants to refer their agent, but, We truly got so lucky with Lenna! She helped us search for homes for 6 years! Once we finally found the perfect house at the perfect time she walked me through the entire process, one step at a time. She made all the arrangements for us and explained everything. She is patient, personable, and honest. She has many great referrals (plumber, lender, painter), all of which were also great finds! I highly recommend Lenna as There are so many wonderful attributes about her.

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna is a very knowledgable, warm and hardworking person. I bought a unit with her help. The process is very smooth. For a brief moment I thought of changing the carpet to hardwood flooring , but HOA asked me to knock my neighbor's doors to get signatures' of approval, and I didn't have the time, she offered to do it on my behalf. Though in the end I decided to give the idea up, but I knew that she would be willing to go out of her way to help me. I am very grateful.

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna is truly awesome to have as an agent! She was on top of the ins and outs of house hunting and buying, which proved invaluable for us first-time buyers all the way from checking out condos to bidding to entering escrow to closing escrow. She has numerous contacts to handle various inspections. She worked at a brisk pace with our lender. Everything went smoothly and we closed well ahead of our estimate! She went out of her way in enabling us to sign the gazillion documents/releases/etc. using DocuSign instead of physically signing them. She was also very responsive via text/call/email and handled any issues that arose quickly and thoroughly. Overall, she is knowledgeable, scrupulous, reliable, honest, professional, friendly, and polite--a killer combination for an agent!

ZillowVERIFIED First of all let me note I am a novice at property purchases and paper protocol on sales. Lenna Doyle had the utmost patience with me in my ignorance. She helped me immensely without showing any frustration. Lenna explained details in the purchase sometimes more than once, due to my lack of understanding! She is what I call a God Send! The Lord knew exactly what I needed and provided Lenna to guide me through it all. We spent several days looking for rental investments and she kept within my means and did not try to push or sway me one way or the other. Super Fantastic!! She answered late nite emails and early morning calls from me. Lenna and I had a mutual friend that told me to give her a call when she knew of my search for property in the San Diego area. I'm so glad she did!

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna spent countless hours searching for the right home for us and setting up appointments in an organized way so that we did not waste any time. She always worked hard to make herself available and to be on time. Her knowledge of the area and of the property value and rental rates was impressive. We felt that she represented our best interest at all times and even negotiated an item that we had given up on. She ended up saving us a lot of time and money. We feel comfortable referring Lenna to any future home buyer because we know she will do whatever it takes to complete the transaction in an honest and fair way.

Review for Member: Lenna Doyle
ZillowVERIFIED Lenna was recommended to us by a good friend of ours and we were so happy with our experience. We were very fortunate to find a home we loved early on - after only three days of home tours. Lenna was able to help us make a competitive offer on a home we really wanted and our first and only offer was accepted. Our offer was at the very bottom of the seller's range, but Lenna was able to get it accepted without any counter offers. Lenna was patient with my endless questions and was extremely responsive to emails, texts, and calls at literally all hours of the day. I would absolutely use Lenna again and recommend to friends and family!

Review for Member: Lenna Doyle
ZillowVERIFIED I can't express in words how wonderful Lenna is. I met her at an open house about a year before I started seriously looking, and she kept us on her email list in a very non-aggressive manner. When I started looking seriously, my husband & I were actually kind of working with a few other agents, but she was the only one I felt we could be honest with about our price range and down payment, and had our best interests at heart. She sat us down and explained the Ins & Outs of real estate and was willing to work with our budget & in the limited area we wanted to live. She said as long as we were patient, she didn't mind helping us. When something came on the market, she would jump on it, willing to meet us on our time (including before work) to check out a place. She would try to talk to listing agents even when the owners/banks were asking for cash or a down payment we couldn't afford. Through her diligence in looking for new listings and ones that came back on the market, we found a condo in our price range in the area we wanted relatively quickly. She was also aggressive in talking down some of the transfer fees on the HOA docs and was willing to (almost literally) hold our hands during the entire process. After the inspection when we realized we would need repairs, she brought in second opinions and contractors to give us estimates of the repairs so we knew exactly what we were getting into. She even followed up after we moved in when we had some unexpected repairs!Later on, she also remembered that we were looking for a dog & forwarded us info on a rescue that we ended up adopting! Lenna really cares about her clients and has definitely changed our lives!

ZillowVERIFIED Having dealt with a number of agents for our three home purchases and sales, I would have to say that Lenna is one of the BEST! There was never a time where I felt pressured, annoyed for lack of response, or lost for lack of knowledge/input. She always seemed to be in sync with our thought process and knew just what we needed at any particular moment in time. Her advice was always "spot-on" and led to us getting THE house - even though it was already under contract by the time we were ready to make an offer! I have nothing but good to say about Lenna, and would not hesitate in any way to recommend her!

ZillowVERIFIED Lenna was my agent when I bought my condo in San Diego in 2010. This was my first-ever real estate transaction, and Lenna helped me make sense of the bewildering mass of paperwork involved. I was really glad to have her overseeing things because I knew I could trust her judgment and expertise. It took me a long time, and a lot of searching, to find the property that was in the right location at the right price. It took a lot of time and patience on Lenna's part - finding this perfect "fit"! She was very helpful through all stages - from searching, to putting in the offer, to closing the sale, even to helping me find contractors for the necessary fix-up work. I am 100% satisfied with my new home and Lenna's service!Susan Teeter, San Diego

ZillowVERIFIED We hired Lenna to represent us as a buyers' agent when we wanted to purchase a home. She patiently showed us many properties and ultimately found the *perfect* home for us. Because it was a foreclosed property, the handling required extra work and attention, which Lenna handled professionally from start to finish. I would (and do!) recommend Lenna for all your real estate needs! She is very thorough and responsive, is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!!"

ZillowVERIFIED I have nothing but good things to say about Lenna. I felt totally comfortable with her from the moment we first met. It felt like I was looking for a home with a friend rather than a real estate agent. Lenna was always responsive to my needs and willing to work with my schedule. I never felt any pressure and with each home we looked at felt that I gained more valuable knowledge and insight into the San Diego real estate market. I absolutely love my new home and wouldn't be here without Lenna's help.
