I recently had the privilege of working with Amando during my home buying journey and it was fantastic! Communication was a breeze, and their negotiation skills sealed the deal with great terms. What sets him apart is his professionalism and genuine care for their clients. If you’re on the real estate whiz who’s also genuinely great person, Amando is your go-to.

Amando was an excellent advocate in our house buying journey. We had a non-conventional financing structure, which required close coordination with our lender. He was responsive and efficient. He made it clear he was representing our interests first. He provided us with sound and honest advice, even if it wasn’t what we wanted to hear. He didn’t pressure us to go outside our comfort zone, even if it meant not quickly closing a deal or bidding ridiculously over asking. We ended up getting the ideal house. We even paid less than asking price without waiving our appraisal contingency! His recommended associate agent, Laura Reategui, was a wealth of knowledge and an added bonus with her friendly/cordial demeanor. It’d be a pleasure to work with Amando and his team again, even in a stressful... Show More

Loved working with him. He made everything so easy for us especially moving from a different county we needed someone knowledgeable in San Diego area. He has been very professional and was available all the time. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for new home any day!

We are so thankful we got teamed up with Amando! As first-time home buyers in the competitive market during 2020-21, we had a steep learning curve . Amando patiently coached us through 3 escrows, 2 cancellations, multiple offers, and ultimately 1 home purchase. He also coordinated with his team on 50+ home tours. Amando has a positive attitude and great attention to detail during tours and inspections. He gave us helpful guidance and solid referrals (to lenders and inspectors) along the way. It was a pleasure working with Amando and the Redfin team. Thanks also to the patient, helpful and friendly associate agents who took us on multiple tours: Gigi, Jesus G., Marcus, Tina, Joie, Mark M., Jordana, and Chase.

My family and I had the pleasure of working with Amando. With Amando we were not pressured into buying a home and most importantly he listened to what we wanted in a home and was beyond patient. When we went on tours with Amando he would put on his inspector hat and tell us his true thoughts on the home from a very realistic perspective which we greatly appreciated. From experience, Amando is the opposite of traditional real estate agents which do not look into the best interest of the customer and mainly want a sale to benefit from the commission. This is the main reason why I switched to Redfin - Customer Service and Truth. When we had difficulty with the lender and the title company, Amando spear headed a solution which resulted in successfully buying our first home especially in... Show More

Amando is very easy to work with. He is very professional and kept a very good timeline and schedule to keep things on track. He also is very accessible throughout the process. He also was considerate in helping with the right resources. We told him about first mortgage broker and his high costs he immediately put us in touch with another broker who was just great. The inspections were done on time and everything went like clockwork. The step by step on the deal room is a great idea as well.

Amando has my highest recommendations! He is always responsive and very patient to my requests. Due to some complications, I had to change my lender 5 days before the closing date. I was even mad at myself! Amando was very helpful and managed to persuade the sellers to give us an extension. He also worked very efficiently with my new lender and seller’s agent to pull the deal through. Eventually we were able to close in the shortest time. Amando represents the highest professionalism in my opinion and he should be your first choice!

Amando really was helpful thoughout the entire process and provided us all the information that we needed. Amando worked well with the sellers agent to help to ensure good communication.
Outstanding agent. Always promptly answered questions or obtained information. Always pleasant and positive.
Amando is competent, responsive, and reliable. He assisted me in purchasing my townhouse in one of the beautiful community in San Marcos of San Diego county. He is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and proactive. He listened to all of my needs and answered all of my questions with incredible attention and patience. He spent as much time as I desired to show me neighborhoods (we went from Mira Mesa, Poway, Ranch Pensenquitos, Rancho Bernado to San Marcos) and providing helpful local expertise. We have been working together from over the last 6-7 months in search of my ideal house. I have no doubt he has my best interests in mind.

As a first time buyer, I am so grateful I found Amando. He was very patient and encouraged me to look at many homes before making a final decision. I ended up finding a place that exceeded all of my expectations.
Amando was also very responsive and I think did a good job explaining the home buying process. Amando's recommendations for home inspector, home warranty, etc. were very good. If I were to go back and do the process over, I would have also chosen his recommended lender as well because his other recommendations worked out very well.

Working with Amando make buying a home fun! There is a lot that goes into buying a home. We worked with Amando for 6 months, touring 50 homes in North County San Diego. Additionally, our purchase was contingent upon the sale of our home in Silicon Valley, which was in turn contingent upon the sale of our buyers home. Complicated. But Amando was not only knowledgeable about the process but fun to work with. Along with way, Amando has met some of our friends and family and all agree that Amando is awesome. He has become a friend.

I'm really happy to recommand Amando. He was truely with us during the entire home buying process. Explained us all the steps and gave us some valuable hints during negotiation which made us save a lot of money.
The best part of Amando is that he is not pushy at all. I worked with some other not redfin agents before and most of them the only thing that they want are to make the deal ASAP so they get their commission, no matter what the condition of the house is. We saw some houses during our home search and Amando carefully helped us by coming with us to the house and telling us the problems of the house.
Another good thing about Amando is that he is also always available to answer the questions this really helped us during this stressfull period.

The best thing I can say about Amando is that he was truly our advocate and represented our interests fully in our home purchase. We are out of town buyers, and Amando took us on video chat tours of houses remotely, along with regular tours when we were able to travel to San Diego. As buyers not familiar with the market or its conditions, neighborhoods, California real estate laws, procedures, and the like, there was an extra level of stress that we were prepared to deal with. However, Amando alleviated many of those worries and stresses. Amando is very knowledgeable with the markets and neighborhoods we were looking in. He is extremely thorough and very responsive.

Amando went above and beyond for us. He gathered comparative information prior to seeing the home to help us understand the local market and made sure to follow up with the sellers agent with questions that we had regarding the property. He always arrived on time (or earlier) for tours and was always easy to get in touch with.
