Rachel went above and beyond for us. She was always on top of everything and very communicative. To her it’s not just a job, and she makes it very personable. She was there at all hours to discuss any questions or concerns. She was always giving her 100%. There is no doubt in my mind she is this way with everyone she works with and it was truly such a pleasure going through this process with her

There are simply not enough words to express how amazing Rachel was during our home buying experience. She showed up for us in every way possible. As first time homebuyers it was an intimidating task and Rachel made sure we felt clear and protected every step of the way. She did a wonderful job of taking our list of "wants" and making them a reality with so so much more! We will forever be thankful for the time she spent showing us homes, communicating and explaining not only terms but all the processes that come with the home purchasing process, as well as keeping us both feeling seen on what mattered most to us. She is a true professional and we will continue to recommend her to anyone who is looking for the opportunity of owning.

I loved working with Rachael from our first encounter. Nice clean offer, straight forward presentation, and she delivered. But along the way I was constantly amazed at her knowledge, her help when I was making a mistake because she was not that agent that has a superior attitude and let you know it. She is really so smart, so precise and detail oriented. Really can not compliment her style and efficiency enough.. way to go Rachael you rock!!

We have trusted Tim and his team to sell our last two properties and have received amazing results both times. He is constantly aware of the market changes and provides excellent advice and guidance. He handles all aspects of the sale to the point of us moving out a month before and Tim took care of the rest. If you you want top dollar for you property with no hassle, hire Tim!

I cant say enough good things about Rachel. She was amazing from beginning to end. She was extremely professional and accessable; always answering our questions and taking our calls in a timely manner and always polite and plesant. She was very receptive to listening to and delivering what we were searching for, as well as reccomending great options we didnt even know we were interested in. Overall as a first time home buyer I cant reccomend her enough. Anyone with any concerns or fears of engaging in the real estate market needs to talk to her, she has the knowledge, expertise and resources to make buying a home an amazing experience. Thanks for everything Rachel !!

This is the second time we’ve used Tim in a real estate transaction. He is incredibly efficient, detail-oriented, and effective at what he does. Excellent communication and follow up. Can’t recommend him highly enough!
"
- Charlotte Thomas
"
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Tim as our real estate agent, and we cannot express enough how fantastic our experience was. From the very beginning of meeting Tim in the hotel lobby where we were staying to the successful closing, Tim went above and beyond to ensure that our dream of moving from the Bay Area to San Diego became a reality. I wholeheartedly recommend Tim to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.
Tim demonstrated an unmatched level of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication throughout the entire process. He took the time to truly understand our preferences, needs, and budget, making sure he tailored his search to find the perfect home for my wife, our new child, and myself.
Three specific areas that stood out for us when working with Tim were:
Service, Service, Service! Tim understands the importance of good service and respecting his clients time. Not only would he shuttle us around to look at different homes, but he displayed a remarkable level of integrity, honesty, and friendliness which made the experience that much more personal. He made himself available to us around the clock, providing us updates over phone, text, or email to answer any questions or concerns promptly and guide us through every step with patience and clarity. In a current climate of an overabundance of technology, Tim understands the importance of concierge service. I look forward to maintaining our personal relationship since our closing.
The Network: Tim's operates alongside a network which not only includes his team of real estate professionals, but also a broader network of handpicked contractors, landscapers, electricians, and handymen. This was instrumental as we thought through how best to negotiate any necessary repairs for our new home and negotiate with the seller. In the end, this resulted in significant cost savings through a purchase price reduction. We plan on using his network for ongoing maintenance as well, knowing that they will provide the right level of service for the right price.
Negotiation: One of the things that truly stood out was Tim's exceptional negotiation skills. This proved to be a fierce advocate on our behalf, securing an excellent deal that exceeded our expectations. His attention to detail and understanding of the local market was evident, as he pinpointed properties that perfectly matched our criteria and was able to understand how much to bid for our new home.
Thanks to Tim, we are now proud homeowners, living in the perfect place to raise our new child that we can call our own. We are truly grateful for his expertise, guidance, and support. If you are looking for a real estate agent who will go the extra mile to ensure your real estate goals are met, look no further than Tim Ney. His dedication, knowledge, and genuine care for their clients set him apart, and we will forever be grateful. Thank you, Tim, for making our home buying journey unforgettable!

Tim Ney is absolutely amazing. Tim is extraordinarily experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to Real Estate. He is a pleasure to work with and easy to communicate with. When working with Tim, you always feel taken care of and never have to worry about anything he is responsible for. Tim is calm, yet a zealous advocate for his clients. Tim is the person you want to be on your side. He will never abandon you. Tim does what he says he will do. One way to appraise someone is by looking at who they surround themselves with. Tim has the best team. The sales associates on his team that I interacted with are top-notch. The title company he used is amazing, and his transaction coordinator top flight. Tim has an excellent stager, handy person, and cleaner. Last, but by no means least, Tim's ethics are impeccable. I enthusiastically recommend and salute Tim Ney.

Tim went absolutely and completely above and beyond any normal realtor and blew all expectations out of the water. He came with a torrent of real estate knowledge which got our home sold over a single weekend and completely closed in under 30 days. Lightning fast. His 20+ years of real estate career shows.
He had plenty of recommendations for home repairs and renovations which absolutely helped our home sell fast. We handed Tim the keys and he took care of the rest. Phenomenal. We cannot praise enough. We'd hire Tim and NextHome United again in a heartbeat.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Rachel to find our new home. She is very knowledgeable about the real-estate market and knows all the sneaky tricks sellers will use to hide items that will end up costing the buyer, if not annotated properly.
She is a fierce pitbull when it comes to working with other agents and sellers to get you a fair price. She won't back down or concede unless it benefits you.
In our situation, she understood the asking price was too high and helped us negotiate almost a 10% reduction, as well as required repairs paid for by the seller--all written into the purchase contract.
I would recommend her to anyone I know looking to buy a house.

- Mike D (Home Buyer)

The gall of Rachel to call herself a real estate agent… when she’s so much more than that! She’s a realtor, inspector, negotiator, therapist, strategist, and full-time advocate… all rolled into one unstoppable package.
Rachel is the kind of agent who gives “let me speak to the manager” energy, but in the best possible way. She will fight for you, anticipate every move, and protect you from making a single misstep. Her negotiating instincts are razor sharp—she doesn’t just think about what we want, but how the seller might react, crafting every offer like a chess master several moves ahead.
She has hawk eyes. I mean hawk eyes. We’d walk into a property and before we even noticed the kitchen layout, she’d already clocked potential roof issues, subtle foundation cracks, and even neighbor red flags. She sees everything.
As first-time buyers, we were constantly saved by her expertise and patience. She thought through every factor: location, Mello-Roos, schools, neighborhood quirks, long-term value, and explained all the things we never would’ve known to even ask. She’s not just there to make a sale; she’s there to make sure you end up in the right home, at the right time, with zero regrets, like a friend or family member who refuses to let you settle for anything less than perfect.
Because of Rachel, we didn’t just find our first house, we found our home. She was on top of everything, quick to respond, meticulous about details, and somehow always five steps ahead. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better partner to guide us through this wild process.
If you want someone who will protect your interests like a force of nature, guide you like a pro, and care for you like a friend, Rachel is the one.
"
- Leonard Bobbitt (Home Buyer)

We truly cannot say enough good things about Rachel—she is hands down the best real estate agent we could have asked for.
From the very beginning, Rachel was patient, supportive, and deeply committed to helping us find the right home. She took the time to understand what we were looking for (even as our vision evolved!) and showed us many properties we thought we wanted. Ultimately, the home we ended up buying wasn’t even on our radar—but Rachel found it, and we fell in love instantly. Her instincts were spot-on, and based on her guidance, we submitted a strong offer right away that was accepted—with a quick and smooth close.
Rachel was incredibly thorough, clear, and communicative throughout the entire process. She explained every step in a way that made us feel confident and informed, always offering helpful resources when we had questions or concerns. She was consistently available, responsive, and thoughtful in her approach.
One of Rachel’s standout qualities is her sharp eye for detail—she quickly spotted potential issues in homes we viewed and gave honest, knowledgeable assessments. During the escrow process, she was a fierce advocate for us, firm when it mattered most, and always looking out for our best interests.
Rachel goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for an agent who truly has your back, knows the market inside and out, and will make the process feel empowering rather than overwhelming—Rachel is the one. We are so grateful for her expertise and guidance, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Start to Finish. One-stop-shop for any home purchase. Walked through the whole process in such detail. Reduced all fears. Made a large purchase feel more comfortable than it should have been. Any home purchase will be through her. Goes above and beyond. This review is not enough. Must experience the level of concierge in buying a home with Rachel - that's the only way you will know! She will be representing us in all future purchases!

Tim was the most awesome professional, friend and life changer for me. He sold my home in less than 3 weeks, guiding me every step of the way. What to fix, what to leave, what to negotiate etc. I highly recommend him to anyone who is selling or buying in this Market today.

Rachel truly went above and beyond in every aspect of a difficult transaction! She showed up in every way - with her knowledge, patience and time, thoughtful communication, and transparent negotiation through the whole transaction. She had a unique challenge of working with both the buyer and the tenant (all one family) for the property and made every effort to balance many interests. She helped us find the perfect home for my family and supported us every step of the way.
I am so grateful for her! Highly recommend!!

We had a great experience with Rachel selling our home. She was very good about keeping us informed throughout the process and answering all our questions. She did a great job at the open house where we received four offers. She made the home selling process run smoothly. Would definitely recommend her.

Excellent experience selling our property. The marketing and market knowledge were outstanding, and the whole process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

There really are no exact words to say how much Tim knows and cares about Real estate and the people he assists in selling and or buying a home. He truly works tirelessly to make it comfortable and stress free . He’s been a very good friend that we will always have in our lives.

- Lisa Dixon (Home Owner)

Rachel went above and beyond in every facet of her job. I mean this with all my heart and chest. I’ve met a lot of people in a lot of professions, and I honestly can’t think of anyone who has ever been as efficient, caring, and simply that good at what they do. She is TRULY the best at what she does. As a realtor, she sets the bar incredibly high for what people should expect from someone guiding them through such an important decision.
She is an incredible people person. If she didn’t know the answer to something, she always knew exactly who to ask. That kind of resourcefulness made the whole process feel smooth and supported from start to finish.
Rachel drove with us to all of our listings, offered to pick up coffee for early showings, and was always fully prepared before every meeting. I’ll also mention something small that actually says a lot about her professionalism: she always showed up looking sharp and prepared. It was clear she took pride in representing her clients well and showing up ready for every situation.
Buying a house can be one of the most stressful experiences in life, but Rachel somehow kept it fun. She truly made it feel like we were a team, and we never once felt alone in the process. We are absolutely honored to leave her five stars.....and yes she helped us find our DREAM HOME!

Rachel exceeded our expectations! She really invested a lot of time and took great care on very specific details that we have never experienced before with any realtor. She was very educational and knowledgeable about the entire California home buying process. Rachel deserves a stellar review for her exceptional dedication and meticulous approach. She went above and beyond for us, and I highly recommended!

5-Gold stars from start, finish, and beyond.
Rachel is an amazing agent and one to have in your corner. She is not just an amazing agent, she is a true advocate for her clients. "Professional" only begins to describe her. She takes your goals very seriously and takes working on your behalf to the next level. She listens, communicates clearly, and ensures every decision made aligned with our objectives. She was brilliant when it came to crafting contracts. Her attention to detail and ability to anticipate potential challenges gave us a competitive edge in negotiations. Her skills proved highly effective as we closed below the Seller's asking price.
We pursued our home during the Christmas and New Year holidays, yet Rachel remained vigilant through the entire process. Her vigilance ensured we closed on time despite numerous moving parts and even resolved surprise challenges that were beyond the scope of her work. Rachel's commitment to our best interests was unwavering, and we were never left in the dark at any part of the process. My wife, daughter, dog, and I are truly grateful for her commitment to us.
They say, "Team work makes the dream work," and Rachel is a one woman army with a network of resources to guarantee a smooth and stress-free closing. If you are in San Diego, Rachel is the agent you want in your corner and she will go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals.

Tim is a phenomenal real estate broker and true professional. I really appreciated his communications with me and the listing agent during my transaction and keeping me updated along the way. Tim goes above and beyond for his clients and stays with them even after the transaction ends. Even though we closed on my dream house, there have been a few issues with the house that have popped up during the final walkthrough and after escrow closed and he is still staying on top of everything to make sure work is taken care of. I would recommend Tim to any of my family members or friends. Thank you, Tim!

I don’t typically give recommendations, but this one is well deserved. I’ve worked with five other agents across six prior purchases, and Alex stands out as the best by far. Going forward, I will only work with him and his parent company.
I had the pleasure of working with Alex on two major transactions involving solar and real estate. He provided in-depth market research, insightful cost-benefit analysis, and consistently brought fresh, strategic perspectives. Even when circumstances changed, he remained professional, compassionate, and solution-oriented.
Alex has become my a trusted advisor, his market research and is able to bring thought leadership (not easily found).I look forward to continuing to work with him. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable agent.

Rachel was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly! She helped my parents purchase their home and handled every aspect of the process with incredible professionalism, efficiency, and care.
Her communication was outstanding—always responsive, clear, and proactive—and she was extremely organized and timely with every detail. When my parents couldn’t be present, we trusted Rachel completely to manage inspections, negotiations, and all the moving parts that come with buying a home, and she exceeded expectations every time. She skillfully coordinated with lenders, inspectors, and the seller’s agent, negotiated thoughtfully on our behalf, and provided clear guidance through pricing, contingencies, and closing.
Rachel made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well‑managed. Her expertise, reliability, and genuine dedication truly set her apart, and we are so grateful to have worked with her!

If more than 5 stars for Rachel was an option, hands down we would give it! Rachel not only helped us buy our first home, she got to know us to really understand what we were looking for and what would and wouldn't work for us in a variety of ways. She spent countless hours with us driving us to see houses, answering our many questions, and once we were in escrow, she took care of so much including being at inspections/other appointments that we just couldn't swing without taking time off of work. She provided so much customized help to us, all with a heavy dose of professionalism and a sense of humor. I also really appreciated that Rachel had our best interests in mind - there were houses where Rachel warned us of high prices to replace/remodel certain aspects, or if a house wasn't worth the listed price. To boot, we never felt pressured by Rachel, she was very supportive along the way providing us with ample helpful information, though she always put the choice in our hands and was very supportive of whatever we decided. Without reservation and with gusto, we HIGHLY recommend Rachel!
