Weve worked with Art Lewis 10 times now, and theres a reason we keep coming back to him. At this point, hes the first person I call whenever I'm buying or selling because I know hell tell me the truth, stay on top of everything, and help me make the right decision. On this last deal, Art helped me buy a rental home in Bonita. As usual, he was great throughout the whole process. He understands investment property way beyond just writing the offer. He helped me think through the numbers, the upside, and the overall structure of the deal so I felt good about what I was buying. One thing that really helped on this purchase was that Art was able to work out seller financing for part of the purchase price. That made the deal a lot better for me and probably saved me at least $10,000 in cash compared to going with a more typical lender setup and all the extra closing costs that come with it. What Ive always liked about Art is that hes straightforward and easy to reach. If I had a question, he answered it. If something needed attention, he handled it. He doesnt overcomplicate things, and he doesnt disappear once youre in escrow. After 10 transactions, I can say hes earned my trust. Id absolutely recommend him to anyone buying or selling property. Heres an even more casual version too: We just completed our 10th transaction with Art Lewis, which says a lot by itself. We keep working with him because hes honest, sharp, and always looking out for our best interests. This time he helped me buy a rental property in Bonita, and once again he was great to work with. He helped me look at the deal like an investment, not just a purchase, and gave me good advice the whole way through. The biggest bonus on this one was that Art helped put together seller financing for part of the purchase price, which made the deal even better. That alone probably saved me at least $10,000 in cash versus using a normal lender and paying the usual loan costs. Art is always available, always straightforward, and always on top of the details. After 10 deals together, I trust him completely and would recommend him without hesitation

Art was our listing agent and helped us to sell our home in San Diego. He always available to answer our calls and texts. We would recommend Art to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Art and his teammates at Neumann are experts in downtown San Diego condos and buildings. Their office was able to facilitate an unlisted transaction for me with one of their buyers, making it the easiest real estate transaction Ive ever been through. Professionally and personally, Art is persistent, friendly, patient, very responsive (a huge plus), not arrogant, and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he was able to get me what I wanted in a crowded downtown market, and in an uncertain economic environment. (That all said, it helps if you have a really good product for sale, so manage your expectations.)

We had a wonderful experience working with Art Lewis during the sale of our rental property. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right buyer. What stood out most was Arts reliability, dedication, good judgment and keen understanding of a propertys worth in the marketplace. Art was able to sell our property without having us make any repairs, upgrades, or provide buyer credits, and we received multiple competitive bids. Art made himself available whenever we needed him, and provided excellent guidance and support to ensure we never missed an opportunity. Arts insights and recommendations were incredibly helpful throughout the process. He listened to our goals and guided us with a perfect balance of expertise and personal care. Thanks to Art and the outstanding support from his team, we sold our property quickly and at a fair price. Were so grateful for his experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy their next home.

Art did an outstanding job selling our condo at Villas at Escala. Because this was a second home and we live in Northern California, we were only able to spend a short week at the condo deciding what to keep. Art handled everything else seamlessly. He arranged for remaining items to be donated or sold, coordinated repairs and deep cleaning, selected paint colors, and oversaw painting, re-carpeting, window replacement, a new closet door, and other needed updates. All we had to do was review and approve the quotes. He then staged the condo and hosted an open house. We received two offers that weekend, and the buyers bid the price above our listing. The entire process was handled smoothly by phone and email. In less than three weeksaEUR"over ThanksgivingaEUR"we went from a condo full of belongings to being on the market. The condo sold in a single weekend and closed within 30 days.
